Paul Paul Corvino's here as well. He's got the hottest
show on weekends called CEOs.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
You've never known the CEOs, you know. I'm glad to
see Bill here. He works from Orange County every day. Yeah,
thank god. I'm afraid that if he was in the building,
I'd have to spend half my time in HR.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Oh you got your thank goodness one hundred percent, one
hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
This is a true story.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
I was in Gelson's in Encino twenty five years ago
and I hear a guy yelling on his cell phone.
They don't have frozen they don't have fresh lotkas or blintzes,
they just have the effing frozen ones yelling. And I
go down the aisle and I'm like, who the hell
is that? I sort of recognize the voice. Oh, it's
Bill Handle. That's how we met. Is that how he
(01:32):
got his job?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That's how we met. I was like, oh, you're Bill Handle.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
He goes, yeah, he goes, My wife wants these frozen
lakas or blintzes or whatever you were buying.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
That's like it's Golden or something whatever the brand name
of those that's right are Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Man that does. Zelman's is kicking ass for you, doing
really well.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Selman's is the way I've known these people for thirty years.
Anthony and Lauren. It was used to be breath Ashore.
Oh oh was that the same I'm company the same
company was a kind of sure, so they kicked it
back and it's now Zelman's uh, and they've just added
a real strong minty Cody and it's the same product
and it's kicking ass.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It really is, and your breath is a lot better.
A few years back, it was tough getting close to its.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Matter of fact, this morning, I did the commercial and said,
if your if your breath smells like inside a bathroom
door on a tuna boat.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Let me tell you need Zelman's. Here's a good line
for you.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
For people you don't know whether you're talking to their
mouth or their a hole, this is for you.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Yeah, this is awkward because I'm usually on the other
side of these conversations. Today I've got to stop them.
And now I'm in here. Now, now I'm in the asylum.
Right when is that show on that CEOs you should have?
We run it runs Saturday mornings across all the music
stations and on KFI Saturday nights at nine, And there's
some big CEOs that come in here. We've had, We've
(02:55):
had some good ones in there. I've interviewed Deans and
I was the CEO owner of the Chargers right stand
casting the one of the owners of the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Did Jamie Simmon is it Simonov? Did he come in
the guy that created ring camera or bring Ring?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I think he. I think I did. By the way,
he wrote a book. You know what His book is
called ding Dog? Is it really?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I wonder where he got that from. So I wrote
a book called Ring You Ring? Okay, screw it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
How's your show doing? I mean, you know it's a
show too.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
We got a weekend show, yeah, five to six with
with my buddy Rich Jakobe where we talk about gold
and silver. Gold and silver has gone through the roof.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah, oh no, it's gone crazy. Forty six hundred dollars
announce on gold, that's right. And I remember when gold
was like twelve hundred dollars not that long ago. And
I said, no, it's it's not going to go beyond that, right.
And the guy who helps you with money, who I
just let him do it. He bought the gold, Oh good,
without telling me. Oh wow, that's right.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
So much volatility in the world gold gold is becoming
and silver's almost one hundred bucks of ounce.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
But you know what, I still get people who tell
me that the first time they heard you on radio,
and they've been hooked ever since was nine to eleven.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, nine to eleven really made it.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Because nine to eleven they took Bill Handle's show and
put it on all the station.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Rush Limbaugh was he was at He was flying from
West Palm Beach where he lives, and he was flying
on of course the corporate yet it was Premier Radio,
and the jet belonged to Premier Radio, but only Rush
could use it, and the pilots were paid by Premier
Radio and only Rush could use it. Good old days.
Oh yeah, those were the good old days. And so
(04:43):
he's a West Palm.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Beach and he is flying to.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Nebraska to be in the Warren Buffet, the golf tournament
that they do for charity, and he's up in the
air and he had one of his hacks fill in
and uh, that's he used to do that. He used
to have people that weren't very good because not because
you know, he was afraid of his job, but he
wanted his listeners to really want him back.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well you guys inviting me on.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, And so uh, he's up in the air flying
and uh, Tower one goes, Tower two goes, and the
FAA grant grounded every single airplane and so they wanted Rush,
and he landed in Georgia on the on in the
only place, the only airport in the United States that
did not have a Premier Station affiliated station. Wow. Uh,
(05:35):
there was no place he could broadcast. So he rented
a car and uh, the president of Premier and forget
who it was called, uh called our station said put
handle on.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh that's great, Yeah, just put handle on and for
the next Uh what were you doing at the time.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I had just finished my show, and so starting at
nine o'clock as I was doing broadcasting, and starting at
nine when Rush started, I they rushed, They put me
on and I was carrying Russia show.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You know that.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
He also landed that plane at one of the airports
in Georgia where the runway was long enough to land
but not to take off, and so they had to
dismantle the plane.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
And the story and I mean, you talk about luck,
you talk about lightning in a bottle, and our station
went from thirteenth in the market in one book to
first in the market because of nine eleven.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It's never gone beyond Well, let's drop.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Down at number fifty eight. What are you saying we
need another nine eleven, But we need another nine a half.
It was no, we don't need another nine to eleven the.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Number one, number one news talk station. Yeah, exactly the
market anyway.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
That's and really and really made KFI. You guys have
been a radio a little longer than I did.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Did you Were you around for the great for the
great like uh, Payola cocaine days or did you mind?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I did the cocaine part and a lot of it.
And I'm not kidding. I was just looking at his watch.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
It's nothing. You've said that before. Everyone has gone through
their trials exaction. That's exactly right. I've never been into that,
but I'm thinking about doing it. Yeah, I'm thinking about
quitting weekdays, getting on weekends and getting more into drugs.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Well, there was a time in the eighties when every
lawyer I knew was snorting cocaine and every one of
us had a vial.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Is that right? Yeah? Everybody did.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
And I remember once downtown, the downtown court room that
has more court rooms in any place basically in the world,
and it's the biggest court room courthouse in the world,
and there's a bunch of us sitting around lawyers, and
all of a sudden we hear a clink and we all.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Look and there's a little there's a little vial of
cocaine running down going down the hall. Every one of
us started patting our pockets. That's great, man, that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Bill handle every morning six to nine am.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yep, and then uh Vino is on.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
You're also at eleven fifty eleven fifty on weekends with CEOs.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You should know.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Yeah, I think it's on on KFI. I think it's
at eight forty five pm.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Oh, it's a fifteen minute show. Yeah, it's a fifteen
minute show.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
It's at eight forty five pm.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And I mean you can also see it get on
the podcast. And the station is doing well. You're just
still number one news station in the market.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
And I don't think there's any station in the market
or in the country that can deliver better results for
an advertiser. Yeah, especially with YouTube. I'll tell you there
are not two better endorsers.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Quick story, I appreciate that. Quick story.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
I was doing a syndicated show with this guy, Rich Jacoby.
We were on fourteen stations around the country and he
was getting very few calls every week. He was getting annoyed,
he was getting pissed. I had him on for five
minutes one night, he had twenty four phone calls.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Yep, it's a huge audience. I have got who I
were on some financial company. It was for I don't know,
something helping with the irs or whatever. They came on
the show with you. And while they were on in
that afternoon, he had fifteen hundred people went to the site.
It was like bing, bing bing bing.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Well, even last night, you know that that thing that
looked like a meteor last night it was SpaceX. They
brought those of one of the astronauts that got sick
up in space so they had to bring him back
and they and they flew right over Burbank and I
got the video of it. I took the video and
Bellio went not to put on social media and we
got a million and a half, almost a million and
a half views on that thing.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, it's unbelievable video. I mean it was. It was
Bill's moving a lot of elements.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Also, I'm moving a lot of cocaine spoons.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
There's a company that just started advertising.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
But you do that that meat place that you do
in Orange County, that butcher, No that.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Neil does that, or Neil does that Neil does that.
But they had a remote down there were had like
fifteen hundred people. Yeah, we went there and that was great.
That was great. That was a big remote. We did.
Look at what we did.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
We had, we had, we had that Postaton and we
raised a few million dollars, but we raised I think
eighty four thousand pounds of pasta to believe.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Here we do that. It's incredible year. Yes, and this
is the audience that constantly gives the.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Oh they have well kono my uh my boardop his
he drives seventy two miles each way.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And where's he live?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He lives out in you know where the Yeah, I
know the in Metho, you know, in the Inland Empire.
And he lives in a meth house and he drives
seventy two miles each way and his car blew up
and Paul, here's a shocker. He works for iHeart, which
means he doesn't make a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I know that. You would never figure that one out.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
You got if you didn't hold us up every year
with your contract, you might be able to pay other
people anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So you helped him out. Yeah, we have a go.
You repaired the car yourself. No, we have to buy
him a new one.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
And it's uh, I mean he was looking at a
big hit and you know, I mean it's that they
don't make a fortune here. Yeah, I think you gotta
make a lesson. Don't make a fortune. Matter of fact,
that they make less than that. I think you have
to flip the car and lose your arm to make
any money on go fund me?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Is that right? Stuff is No, we're at to help
him out, really, is that right? To help kono? Fellas?
Nice to see both of you. Does you have a
car right now? He's driving his grandmother, driving his grandma.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Tell him to come see me. We have a couple
in the fleet downstairs. I will get him something.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
That you can use.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Oh hey, that's right. In the meantime, you can drive
a kiss van. I may have to drive something like
your faces on the side of it. That's even better.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
But we've got something that he could use. Excellent.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Nice to see both of you, fellas, and we'll keep
kicking ass here. You got it all right? Bill handle
every morning six to nine am, and then Paul Corvino
runs the place.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
He's on weekends with CEOs. You should know absolutely by
the way. That's me with my head up. Corvino's off.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
The city wants more money for the fire department.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
Well, not necessarily the city, although I think if you
asked the city council person, would you like more money
for the fire department?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That's an easy yes, right.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
This is the firefighters themselves are out in the streets
trying to collect signatures one hundred and fifty four thousand
valid signatures needed to qualify for the ballot, so they
can ask voters to pay more when they buy things
in the city. In the City of Los Angeles, the
sales tax would be increased from nine point seventy five
percent to ten point twenty five percent, which, frankly, is
(12:35):
a lot shockingly lower than some cities here in Los
Angeles County. Alhambra, Burbank, your beloved Burbankbank, I don't know
their percentage.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Forgive me.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
I have the list of cities that are higher Glendale,
Long Beach, San Fernando, which I heard you make a
flub about yesterday, in your population count West Hollywood and Pasadena.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
All.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Oh, I'm sorry, Yeah, they all have ten point five
percent in sales taxes. Okay, so that's a lot. It's
a lot.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
It's shocking when you come from another place and back
on the Kentucky with six percent the sales tax across
the board. And it's very rare for municipality to have
the power to put anything else on that.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Right, So it is here. You know what it is?
An organ zero?
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
How do they do it? An organ? Zero percent? I
don't know how they do it anywhere? Zero? But it
adds up.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
You know.
Speaker 8 (13:23):
That's if you buy something for one thousand dollars, it's
another one hundred plus dollars exactly. You buy a fifty
five thousand dollars car, it's going to be sixty grand bingo.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
It's it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
But the Fire Department thinks that voters might have an
appetite for this because they assure people that if they
can get this ballot measure adopted, that they will be
able to raise three hundred and forty five million dollars
a year. Wow, and it will only be for them.
I don't they promise it will only be for the
fire department, which they say doesn't have enough people, doesn't
have enough fire stations, doesn't have enough equipment, they don't
(13:53):
have enough resources, and they say, look, look what happened
last year in the Palisades.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well they do have a point.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
You know, there's there's there's less firemen on the job
or fire personnel i should say, on the job right
now than they had in nineteen sixty and the population
is doubled or triple.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
But you know city Hall, and I know city Hall.
I've known a little longer than you have, but you
know it a little more in depth right now than me.
So it's ding dong, it's ding and dong. But do
you believe that every one of those half cent sales
tax dollars is going to go to the fire department.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well, here's the thing, as I don't.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
This is a place that does often say, ah, sure,
half a cent there, half a cent here for homelessness.
Remember we did that for the county wide measure just
last just two years ago, in twenty twenty four, right,
and then for streets for safer streets and bike lanes
and all that stuff. Measure whatever it was to do transportation, Yes,
(14:53):
sure aha for that.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
They're all hard to keep up with.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
Frankly, and some of them contradict each other or some
of them build upon each other measure this proposition that yeah,
that's this one. Firefighters tend to be generically popular, that's right, Like, hey,
would you like more firefighters?
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Would you pay half a cent more? Just half a
cent more?
Speaker 5 (15:13):
You know what LA LAPD officers said about LA Fire department.
He said, they sleep till they're hungry, and then they
eat till they're tired.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
You know, if I'm not gonna comment on because I
don't want to get beat up by one, but like
if something on fire, those guys are running into it there.
But outside of that, it does look pretty cushy sometimes.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Well the one thing you would bother me is you
can never get a full night sleep. They're always up,
you know, like at four am you got to go
deal a homeless guy.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
I don't know the shifts are. They're twenty four on,
like forty eight off kind of thing. Like you're in
there all day. It's a very weird life, it is,
but it pays well. I mean, these firefighters in this
city and the cops in this city, you know, the
system is such that they get so much overtime they
get all these additional pay's.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Good shape to be a fire yeah, for sure, you
know they they even you know, a cop, you got
to be in good shape too, but especially in the
fire department. You have to have the ability to go
in there and grab some guy who's one hundred and
seventy five hundred and eighty pounds, put him over your
shoulder and drag him out of that burning house.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Were you ever a lifeguard, I was not. I would
you would have been a good lifeguard.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
I have to do the same thing. But that's in
La County. That's the fire way. You were a lifeguard
in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
In both Kentucky Ana High Is that right with the
zinc on your nose.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
I was not a great lifeguard, but it's a great job.
If you could make what I make now as a lifeguard,
I would choose lifeguard. Really, in spite of all of
the all the fun that we get to have at KFI,
I would choose lifeguard.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Buddy youse a lot guard too.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
Yeah, it's great, awesome bestre you a lifeguard in Maryland.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Really well when you were late in your teens. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
It is a really cool way to get chicks when
you're young.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
Yeah, well it's you're in the sun all day, so
you're just you know, your son kissed, right, you're chill.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
No, nobody just drowned, right crows. I bet you use
that to the Yes, sorry, I'll dump that.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Why and say that to monks?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Well, okay, I'll say to monks too, I bet you
did that into your fellow.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
That was unrelated to the lifeguard gig, but sure. It's
one of the things they teach you in lifeguard school
is how to respond when somebody's wiener wears off.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I know how to do the first aid. Okay, let's
talk about the business.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Very quickly, because I know we're out of time, and
I don't want Foods to get mad at me like
he's at you right now. Look, there's another group you've
heard of, the union Unite. Here, they're the hospitality restaurant workers,
always causing a ruckus over something somebody's not paying enough,
always funny, exactly. These guys are now leading the fight
that they are calling the overpaid CEO tax. They need
(17:46):
one hundred and forty thousand signatures to get this thing
on the ballot. Wish, they say, would impose a business
tax on large corporations that pay CEOs more than fifty
times their median workers. And they provide some examples. This
is the data, not mine. They say, the CEOs of
Marriott and Hilton Hotels, for example, they make about six
(18:06):
thousand dollars an hour. Wow, Starbucks seven thousand dollars an
hour for that CEO. Delta, which is a big Olympic sponsor,
pays its CEO sixteen thousand dollars an hour. Again, that's
that's a cool que real quickly.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
And I know that the governor's against this too because
those CEOs will just move out of California.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well that is a different issue. Oh there's another millionaires
too that they're talking. So they're going they're doubling up
on the.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
City of La this issue in the City of Los Angeles,
completely independent of that. That is unbelievable that they're going
to try to hit these guys twice. You're not an
LA City voter, ten, but if you were, do you
think it's it's you're more sympathetic to the firefighter tax
or the CEO tax.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
I would say firefighter tax and then the CEO tax.
But look, I love the fire department. You know, the
firemen and women. They're terrific and I feel bad for
them that they have to deal with the you know,
La City Hall. But I still don't believe that that
money is going to the fire department. I've known city
Hall for a long time. They're going to take that
money and use it any elsewhere and going to screw
(19:09):
the fire department.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
It's probably the hardest thing that the LAF do. You
have to convince people because it's not even necessarily a
firefighter's fault. It's just the track record of the city
that's right, and the way that they deliver on the
services that they promise. If you just give us half
a cent more, yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I would love to say, let's do it and let's
give them money. But the money is not going to
go to them, and it's going to go to you know,
homelessness and be stolen and all that.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I was not coming in today.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I was supposed to be out today, not that I'm
not feeling well, not that I was on vacation, but
I had jury duty.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I called.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
You know, you have to call in every day in
Los Angeles to find out if you're needed the next day.
So I call in Sunday, your presence is not needed Monday, Tuesday, nothing.
I call in Wednesday and they said you've got to
be here at twelve thirty or no eight thirty and
(20:10):
then staying possibly till four thirty.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
So I went to jury duty this morning, and I
can't go much. I can't really go into obviously the
case or anything or who it was or what it was.
But I was thrown out of there. I was asked
to leave jury duty, and on my way out, I
(20:36):
think it was a lawyer who turned to me and under.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
His breath he goes, ding Dong no way, and I
split and I don't know whether the.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
I don't know who threw me out of there, but
somebody said you out, and I walked out. I walked
out in front of all these people. I felt embarrassed.
I felt like I was on trial.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I walked out like, yeah, I'm out. I felt like
I was on trial.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
But I got my do you have your did you
have your Ding Dong T shirt on onto your jacket?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Well?
Speaker 5 (21:12):
The guy recognized me, and I said, how did you
recognize me? Was it my KFI had my KFI pants
or the Cara Burnette shirt that says Carobranette on the
front and the back, and my Harvey Korman Tim Conway
gloves that I wear.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Did you pick up on all that? Did you pick
up on that?
Speaker 10 (21:30):
You didn't wear your innocent shirt?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
I always vote guilty if you get to that point
where you're on trial, you're done, you're done. You took
a lot of if you didn't do that, you did
something close to that, and I'm voting guilty. That's, uh,
you know, if you had a lot of opportunities to
make that go away before you got to trial. And
unless you're totally innocent, which is pretty pretty rare, that
(21:56):
that's the you know, you've never done anything wrong in
your life and now you're looking at life in prison
over something you didn't do again, Uh, pretty rare, Pretty
pretty rare. And and so I split. I was They said, Conway,
you're gone. You knew the rules, you knew the boundaries.
Out of here. So Mark Thompson told his whole audience
(22:18):
on YouTube he was going to fill in. And then
I called him and said, hey, you know I just
got thrown out of there. I got you know, rejected,
and so I'm coming in. He goes, all good, I
goes I'm exhausted anyway, But please tell the audience so
they don't think I'm lying that I was supposed to
fill in and he was. Mark Thompson was supposed to
fill in, and he'm and now he's at home.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
So there you go.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
SpaceX last night. Did anybody see the spaceship last night?
I wished I had known yesterday during the day, we
could have told everybody that at twelve thirty, you look
up and you could see it. Did you see a Crozier?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
I did not.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
I saw all the videos from you. I saw someone
from a striker up there at the alt.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
He sposted one.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
I guess he lives kind of close to you.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Oh that's cool, Okay, he lives in a very expensive
nice house, does he Yeah, he's got a lot of money,
that guy.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Did you see it? Stephush or hear it? You could
hear it too. I did not. It woke my sister.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Up in out in Malibu, and she thought it was
an earthquake and got all, you know, crazy. She messaged you,
she call you no, but she like the next like
this morning, she said why can't they do these things
during the day?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
And like I said, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Does she does she contact you when things are going
on in the news. Does she look at you as
someone who's sort of like in the know because of
what you do?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (23:35):
And quite often I have to tell her I have
no idea, Like she'll call me and ask me about
a certain case. I'm like, this is the first time
hearing about it, and she goes, you're in the news department.
I said, I know, I know, but haven't you heard
the show?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
You're in the biz.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I care very little about a lot of these stories.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
But well you are like, handle, that's right, that's right,
that's exactly right, Bellio.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Did you see it? Did you see the spaceship?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Just off your video? Received it?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
What about you ate? Oh wait, I woke you up?
Yeah when I sent that at twelve thirty.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
Yeah, it was twelve thirty.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
You're asleep. Oh yeah, what time do you go to bed?
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Like ten?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Oh my god?
Speaker 9 (24:17):
But you know, did you set an alarm? By the
way to me, were you did you just know it's
coming around that time? You were watching the clock?
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Oh, that's actually interesting. I set three alarms. I set
the one near my bed, and then my I set
my iPad and my iPhone the.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Off chance that you might have fallen asleep like Sharone.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Oh no, I wouldn't fall asleep. I just would watch
TV and not forget about like a christ.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I forgot me.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
But I was watching CNN and Alex Michaelson had it live.
He stayed in an hour and a half later to
do it live, and it was a great hour because
he prepped it, he taught. He had some of the
UH scientists there, some of the NASA people there, some
of the SpaceX people there, and it was really a
good hour hour and a half.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Were you fully closed when you ran outside and took
the video?
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Oh yeah yeah. But I had to convince my wife,
because my wife could care less about this kind of crap.
I go, hey, buddy, baby, you got to see this.
You're where is it? Where is it?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You know?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I called her once and I said, hey, there's a
rocket blasting off from Vandenberg and the sun has just
gone down. This fume, this trail from this rocket's going
to be huge, and you'll be able to see it
from our house.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
And she said, well, she goes, I'm doing laundry ha ha,
And I said, baby.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
You can take one step out of the laundry room
and look at this. It's one step.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
She's like yawn.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Yeah, She's like, oh, I'm just not into it. I'm like, no,
you got to be into it. You have to be
into it. You can't just not be into it.
Speaker 9 (25:48):
I'm kind of I have the same thing with Jen,
and I think it's that age difference. I think, for
like you and I, my dad was so huge into it.
He sat me down when I was ten days shy
of one year old to watch the moon landing. So
it's kind of ingrained in me because of my dad
and when I was born and she was born, you know,
three four years later, and she kind of missed that
window of caring as much about it as you or I.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Well, I think it's also a gender thing. I hate
to say that, but it is. You know, I know
a lot of guys that are into it, and I
don't know any wives that are into it.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
I think that all went away with the Challenger.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah yeah, I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
But I remember the moon landing. I mean I was
sitting on my parents' bed. I was six but I
do remember that. I remember sitting on their bed and then,
you know, a week later, going out looking the moon
and I'm like, wow, there was you know, guys allegedly
walked on that thing.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
But you don't believe it.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
I still do not you watched it. I do not
believe it. I don't believe we have the technology to
go to the.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Moon right now.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Did you believe it then when you were six?
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
They bsked me into that, and I don't believe that
we have the technology today.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
To go Is your dad into it?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah? My dad was really into it. Yeah, very into it.
But Angel, did you say you did see it or
you did not?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
No?
Speaker 10 (26:59):
I only saw you your videos and what you posted
of it.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Did I missed it live? Really?
Speaker 9 (27:06):
I know?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I can't believe. I'm going to train not to worry
about it.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
I think, like what Angels saying, I'm kind of trained
not to worry about it so much now because I
know you're going to watch it and videotape it and
show it.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Angel, were you awake for it was twelve thirty?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I think I've just went about around twelve thirty last night.
Oh my god, So you could have looked out your
window and seen this.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I know I could have.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I shouldn't text you.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
But the reason why I don't text you or Crozier
because I don't know what you know. You go to
bed at ten and then I wake you up and
then you're pissed.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, don't worry about it.
Speaker 10 (27:38):
You send me a text anytime of the day or night.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And if I don't want to, okay, just like, okay,
I'll just said it on. Do not disturb do it? Fine,
I don't hear it.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
You're going to take that back in about an hour.
Just try me, okay, all right, I will. I saw
the beginning of the poppies coming out. I was on
the one thirty four today near the UH two freeway
and I saw about ten or fifteen of those really
orange poppy flowers. This is going to be a spectacular
year for wildflowers.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah. Oh, it's gonna be unreal, unreal.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
If you have allergies all that, you know, the pollen,
good luck, good luck, you're gonna get wiped out this year.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
You're listening to Tim Conwayjunire on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
I videotaped. I guess that's not the proper term for it, amore.
There's no tape in that camera. I videoed it. That
sounds odd too. Recorded shot it recorded.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
It is good.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
But I thought we'd get maybe twenty thousand views on
the SpaceX landing in San Diego that streaked or strucked
over Burbank, And just on Instagram alone, that video has
one point five million views.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
Everyone should go see it.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yes on Instagram.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
At Conways show, and if you haven't followed us, maybe
you follow us.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Somebody stole it from us and didn't give us credit. Yeah,
they repurposed it.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
Okay, well, I guess you know. I think we've done
that right. We've also repurposed video and audio, so I'm
not gonna get down on it.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I try to credit people though, Yeah, we do try
to credit people. That's true. That's true. You do do then.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
But so I got one point five million on Instagram,
and CNN had a similar video up there and it
got like twenty five thousand.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
So we beat CNN.
Speaker 9 (29:31):
I think most of the videos that I've seen outside
of yours, there's usually like a tree or something that
gets in the way pretty quickly. Realisule where yours is
clean for most of.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
It, and Petros and Money replayed your video because they
like the narration that you did. But I mean they
were I think making a little fun of it.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Okay, but the reason, you know, look, these guys don't
understand social media. The reason why I sort of feminized
my voice when I do these videos is because that's
what people want. You know, I could butcher it up. No,
look at this pizza. Look at it.
Speaker 10 (30:10):
Didn't have anything to do with you. Feminine up. It's because, honestly,
I felt like you had like this childlike enthusiasm. No
in a in the in the best way possible. You
were like, that is amazing, and I think that's what
most people feel when they see it, and you you
did that.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
I'll take that, but I still am. I literally can
get emotional when I see it.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
You do.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
So I just listened to the audio. I had to
listen to the audio. Just seen the video, and yeah,
listening to it, it's a little bit.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Emotional.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Okay, I get emotional.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
I get emotional when I see that because there are
four human beings on a rocket that is streaking through
the sky and they all land back on Earth safely.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
You're almost ready to cry like a double rainbow or something.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
I was, and I am am still amazed every time
I see it because the technology. I I honor the
people who stayed in school longer than I did, and
I honor the people that paid attention more than I
did in school, because they're the ones working at SpaceX,
not me.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
Do you know people like from school that are like
doing things like that, because I don't really know anybody
quite like that, and it's pretty amazing to me to
think about the exact same thing you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, I don't know anybody. How beautiful that is for people?
Speaker 5 (31:38):
And that's me at spirit that's me at Spearmitt Rhino.
That's the wrong audioce beautiful that Yeah, that's me at
a strip bar. I'm sorry, awesome, Holy I think going
to use the work and I thought, okay, don't use
the S words, and we can't play it on the air,
(31:59):
so I edited.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
But you thinking in the moment.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
So but I'm still amazed that that how much we
care about human life in this country. You know, a
guy got sick on the space station or a woman
we don't know yet. And we brought the spaceship back
early with the other three astronauts and they came back
with that person to make sure that they're okay and
(32:25):
that you know, they didn't have enough room.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Or food, I guess to keep everybody up there.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
Or but somebody got sick on the space station, so
they had to bring him back and they brought him
back successfully when he wasn't scheduled to come back. And
we really protect human life in this country. I know
a lot of people don't believe that, you know, but
we do, and and no, and there's no better demonstration
(32:50):
of that than than space travel. You know, space travel
is always the astronauts life and their health and their
safety is always the top prior. Always same thing when
you fly around the country, your your safety on that
airplane is their top priority and and no priorities even
(33:11):
close to second. It is one through millions priority to
keep the people safe and alive and healthy while they're
on the spaceship, while they're on the plane, while they're
on the you know, in the space you know, the
s SI I, the space station, we and and I
And it makes it gets me emotional that we care
(33:32):
that much about people.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
It does.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
And you know what, you can also tell a lot
about a country with how they treat the animals, you know,
with how people, how countries treat animals. And I don't
think there's a country in the world where we treat
the animals any better than here in the United States.
I haven't seen it. I mean, we treat animals like
(33:56):
a lot of times better than human beings a lot
of times, and so and those things go a long way,
they really do. But watch that video. It's on Instagram,
it's on Facebook. Sorry if I sound excited, Sorry if
I sound emotional, but I've always been that way with
space travel. I can't believe the thrust of those engines
(34:21):
and people sitting on that explosion and willing to risk
their life to go in and into outer space and
make things better for us.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I will.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
I'm not going to apologize for that. It's it's emotional,
it really is. To see that, to see that thing
streaking across burbank at three thousand degrees or three hundred
thousand or thirty whatever it was, and to see that
that spaceship landed and those people got off and they
were healthy and they were alive. That is a tremendous
(34:51):
feat tremendous all right, We're live on KFI and We're
live as well on KFI amsikfor.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Conway Show on demand on that the iHeartRadio app. Now,

Paul Paul Corvino's here as well. He's got the hottest
show on weekends called CEOs.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
You've never known the CEOs, you know. I'm glad to
see Bill here. He works from Orange County every day. Yeah,
thank god. I'm afraid that if he was in the building,
I'd have to spend half my time in HR.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Oh you got your thank goodness one hundred percent, one
hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
This is a true story.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
I was in Gelson's in Encino twenty five years ago
and I hear a guy yelling on his cell phone.
They don't have frozen they don't have fresh lotkas or blintzes,
they just have the effing frozen ones yelling. And I
go down the aisle and I'm like, who the hell
is that? I sort of recognize the voice. Oh, it's
Bill Handle. That's how we met. Is that how he
(01:32):
got his job?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That's how we met. I was like, oh, you're Bill Handle.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
He goes, yeah, he goes, My wife wants these frozen
lakas or blintzes or whatever you were buying.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
That's like it's Golden or something whatever the brand name
of those that's right are Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Man that does. Zelman's is kicking ass for you, doing
really well.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Selman's is the way I've known these people for thirty years.
Anthony and Lauren. It was used to be breath Ashore.
Oh oh was that the same I'm company the same
company was a kind of sure, so they kicked it
back and it's now Zelman's uh, and they've just added
a real strong minty Cody and it's the same product
and it's kicking ass.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
It really is, and your breath is a lot better.
A few years back, it was tough getting close to its.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Matter of fact, this morning, I did the commercial and said,
if your if your breath smells like inside a bathroom
door on a tuna boat.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Let me tell you need Zelman's. Here's a good line
for you.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
For people you don't know whether you're talking to their
mouth or their a hole, this is for you.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Yeah, this is awkward because I'm usually on the other
side of these conversations. Today I've got to stop them.
And now I'm in here. Now, now I'm in the asylum.
Right when is that show on that CEOs you should have?
We run it runs Saturday mornings across all the music
stations and on KFI Saturday nights at nine, And there's
some big CEOs that come in here. We've had, We've
(02:55):
had some good ones in there. I've interviewed Deans and
I was the CEO owner of the Chargers right stand
casting the one of the owners of the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Did Jamie Simmon is it Simonov? Did he come in
the guy that created ring camera or bring Ring?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I think he. I think I did. By the way,
he wrote a book. You know what His book is
called ding Dog? Is it really?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I wonder where he got that from. So I wrote
a book called Ring You Ring? Okay, screw it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
How's your show doing? I mean, you know it's a
show too.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
We got a weekend show, yeah, five to six with
with my buddy Rich Jakobe where we talk about gold
and silver. Gold and silver has gone through the roof.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah, oh no, it's gone crazy. Forty six hundred dollars
announce on gold, that's right. And I remember when gold
was like twelve hundred dollars not that long ago. And
I said, no, it's it's not going to go beyond that, right.
And the guy who helps you with money, who I
just let him do it. He bought the gold, Oh good,
without telling me. Oh wow, that's right.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
So much volatility in the world gold gold is becoming
and silver's almost one hundred bucks of ounce.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
But you know what, I still get people who tell
me that the first time they heard you on radio,
and they've been hooked ever since was nine to eleven.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, nine to eleven really made it.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Because nine to eleven they took Bill Handle's show and
put it on all the station.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Rush Limbaugh was he was at He was flying from
West Palm Beach where he lives, and he was flying
on of course the corporate yet it was Premier Radio,
and the jet belonged to Premier Radio, but only Rush
could use it, and the pilots were paid by Premier
Radio and only Rush could use it. Good old days.
Oh yeah, those were the good old days. And so
(04:43):
he's a West Palm.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Beach and he is flying to.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Nebraska to be in the Warren Buffet, the golf tournament
that they do for charity, and he's up in the
air and he had one of his hacks fill in
and uh, that's he used to do that. He used
to have people that weren't very good because not because
you know, he was afraid of his job, but he
wanted his listeners to really want him back.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well you guys inviting me on.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, And so uh, he's up in the air flying
and uh, Tower one goes, Tower two goes, and the
FAA grant grounded every single airplane and so they wanted Rush,
and he landed in Georgia on the on in the
only place, the only airport in the United States that
did not have a Premier Station affiliated station. Wow. Uh,
(05:35):
there was no place he could broadcast. So he rented
a car and uh, the president of Premier and forget
who it was called, uh called our station said put
handle on.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh that's great, Yeah, just put handle on and for
the next Uh what were you doing at the time.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I had just finished my show, and so starting at
nine o'clock as I was doing broadcasting, and starting at
nine when Rush started, I they rushed, They put me
on and I was carrying Russia show.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You know that.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
He also landed that plane at one of the airports
in Georgia where the runway was long enough to land
but not to take off, and so they had to
dismantle the plane.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
And the story and I mean, you talk about luck,
you talk about lightning in a bottle, and our station
went from thirteenth in the market in one book to
first in the market because of nine eleven.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It's never gone beyond Well, let's drop.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Down at number fifty eight. What are you saying we
need another nine eleven, But we need another nine a half.
It was no, we don't need another nine to eleven the.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Number one, number one news talk station. Yeah, exactly the
market anyway.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
That's and really and really made KFI. You guys have
been a radio a little longer than I did.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Did you Were you around for the great for the
great like uh, Payola cocaine days or did you mind?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I did the cocaine part and a lot of it.
And I'm not kidding. I was just looking at his watch.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
It's nothing. You've said that before. Everyone has gone through
their trials exaction. That's exactly right. I've never been into that,
but I'm thinking about doing it. Yeah, I'm thinking about
quitting weekdays, getting on weekends and getting more into drugs.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Well, there was a time in the eighties when every
lawyer I knew was snorting cocaine and every one of
us had a vial.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Is that right? Yeah? Everybody did.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
And I remember once downtown, the downtown court room that
has more court rooms in any place basically in the world,
and it's the biggest court room courthouse in the world,
and there's a bunch of us sitting around lawyers, and
all of a sudden we hear a clink and we all.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Look and there's a little there's a little vial of
cocaine running down going down the hall. Every one of
us started patting our pockets. That's great, man, that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Bill handle every morning six to nine am.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yep, and then uh Vino is on.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
You're also at eleven fifty eleven fifty on weekends with CEOs.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You should know.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Yeah, I think it's on on KFI. I think it's
at eight forty five pm.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Oh, it's a fifteen minute show. Yeah, it's a fifteen
minute show.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
It's at eight forty five pm.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And I mean you can also see it get on
the podcast. And the station is doing well. You're just
still number one news station in the market.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
And I don't think there's any station in the market
or in the country that can deliver better results for
an advertiser. Yeah, especially with YouTube. I'll tell you there
are not two better endorsers.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Quick story, I appreciate that. Quick story.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
I was doing a syndicated show with this guy, Rich Jacoby.
We were on fourteen stations around the country and he
was getting very few calls every week. He was getting annoyed,
he was getting pissed. I had him on for five
minutes one night, he had twenty four phone calls.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Yep, it's a huge audience. I have got who I
were on some financial company. It was for I don't know,
something helping with the irs or whatever. They came on
the show with you. And while they were on in
that afternoon, he had fifteen hundred people went to the site.
It was like bing, bing bing bing.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Well, even last night, you know that that thing that
looked like a meteor last night it was SpaceX. They
brought those of one of the astronauts that got sick
up in space so they had to bring him back
and they and they flew right over Burbank and I
got the video of it. I took the video and
Bellio went not to put on social media and we
got a million and a half, almost a million and
a half views on that thing.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, it's unbelievable video. I mean it was. It was
Bill's moving a lot of elements.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Also, I'm moving a lot of cocaine spoons.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
There's a company that just started advertising.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
But you do that that meat place that you do
in Orange County, that butcher, No that.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Neil does that, or Neil does that Neil does that.
But they had a remote down there were had like
fifteen hundred people. Yeah, we went there and that was great.
That was great. That was a big remote. We did.
Look at what we did.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
We had, we had, we had that Postaton and we
raised a few million dollars, but we raised I think
eighty four thousand pounds of pasta to believe.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Here we do that. It's incredible year. Yes, and this
is the audience that constantly gives the.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Oh they have well kono my uh my boardop his
he drives seventy two miles each way.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And where's he live?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He lives out in you know where the Yeah, I
know the in Metho, you know, in the Inland Empire.
And he lives in a meth house and he drives
seventy two miles each way and his car blew up
and Paul, here's a shocker. He works for iHeart, which
means he doesn't make a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I know that. You would never figure that one out.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
You got if you didn't hold us up every year
with your contract, you might be able to pay other
people anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So you helped him out. Yeah, we have a go.
You repaired the car yourself. No, we have to buy
him a new one.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
And it's uh, I mean he was looking at a
big hit and you know, I mean it's that they
don't make a fortune here. Yeah, I think you gotta
make a lesson. Don't make a fortune. Matter of fact,
that they make less than that. I think you have
to flip the car and lose your arm to make
any money on go fund me?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Is that right? Stuff is No, we're at to help
him out, really, is that right? To help kono? Fellas?
Nice to see both of you. Does you have a
car right now? He's driving his grandmother, driving his grandma.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Tell him to come see me. We have a couple
in the fleet downstairs. I will get him something.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
That you can use.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Oh hey, that's right. In the meantime, you can drive
a kiss van. I may have to drive something like
your faces on the side of it. That's even better.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
But we've got something that he could use. Excellent.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Nice to see both of you, fellas, and we'll keep
kicking ass here. You got it all right? Bill handle
every morning six to nine am, and then Paul Corvino
runs the place.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
He's on weekends with CEOs. You should know absolutely by
the way. That's me with my head up. Corvino's off.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
The city wants more money for the fire department.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
Well, not necessarily the city, although I think if you
asked the city council person, would you like more money
for the fire department?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That's an easy yes, right.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
This is the firefighters themselves are out in the streets
trying to collect signatures one hundred and fifty four thousand
valid signatures needed to qualify for the ballot, so they
can ask voters to pay more when they buy things
in the city. In the City of Los Angeles, the
sales tax would be increased from nine point seventy five
percent to ten point twenty five percent, which, frankly, is
(12:35):
a lot shockingly lower than some cities here in Los
Angeles County. Alhambra, Burbank, your beloved Burbankbank, I don't know
their percentage.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Forgive me.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
I have the list of cities that are higher Glendale,
Long Beach, San Fernando, which I heard you make a
flub about yesterday, in your population count West Hollywood and Pasadena.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
All.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Oh, I'm sorry, Yeah, they all have ten point five
percent in sales taxes. Okay, so that's a lot. It's
a lot.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
It's shocking when you come from another place and back
on the Kentucky with six percent the sales tax across
the board. And it's very rare for municipality to have
the power to put anything else on that.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Right, So it is here. You know what it is?
An organ zero?
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
How do they do it? An organ? Zero percent? I
don't know how they do it anywhere? Zero? But it
adds up.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
You know.
Speaker 8 (13:23):
That's if you buy something for one thousand dollars, it's
another one hundred plus dollars exactly. You buy a fifty
five thousand dollars car, it's going to be sixty grand bingo.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
It's it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
But the Fire Department thinks that voters might have an
appetite for this because they assure people that if they
can get this ballot measure adopted, that they will be
able to raise three hundred and forty five million dollars
a year. Wow, and it will only be for them.
I don't they promise it will only be for the
fire department, which they say doesn't have enough people, doesn't
have enough fire stations, doesn't have enough equipment, they don't
(13:53):
have enough resources, and they say, look, look what happened
last year in the Palisades.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well they do have a point.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
You know, there's there's there's less firemen on the job
or fire personnel i should say, on the job right
now than they had in nineteen sixty and the population
is doubled or triple.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
But you know city Hall, and I know city Hall.
I've known a little longer than you have, but you
know it a little more in depth right now than me.
So it's ding dong, it's ding and dong. But do
you believe that every one of those half cent sales
tax dollars is going to go to the fire department.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well, here's the thing, as I don't.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
This is a place that does often say, ah, sure,
half a cent there, half a cent here for homelessness.
Remember we did that for the county wide measure just
last just two years ago, in twenty twenty four, right,
and then for streets for safer streets and bike lanes
and all that stuff. Measure whatever it was to do transportation, Yes,
(14:53):
sure aha for that.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
They're all hard to keep up with.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
Frankly, and some of them contradict each other or some
of them build upon each other measure this proposition that yeah,
that's this one. Firefighters tend to be generically popular, that's right, Like, hey,
would you like more firefighters?
Speaker 7 (15:09):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Would you pay half a cent more? Just half a
cent more?
Speaker 5 (15:13):
You know what LA LAPD officers said about LA Fire department.
He said, they sleep till they're hungry, and then they
eat till they're tired.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
You know, if I'm not gonna comment on because I
don't want to get beat up by one, but like
if something on fire, those guys are running into it there.
But outside of that, it does look pretty cushy sometimes.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Well the one thing you would bother me is you
can never get a full night sleep. They're always up,
you know, like at four am you got to go
deal a homeless guy.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
I don't know the shifts are. They're twenty four on,
like forty eight off kind of thing. Like you're in
there all day. It's a very weird life, it is,
but it pays well. I mean, these firefighters in this
city and the cops in this city, you know, the
system is such that they get so much overtime they
get all these additional pay's.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Good shape to be a fire yeah, for sure, you
know they they even you know, a cop, you got
to be in good shape too, but especially in the
fire department. You have to have the ability to go
in there and grab some guy who's one hundred and
seventy five hundred and eighty pounds, put him over your
shoulder and drag him out of that burning house.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Were you ever a lifeguard, I was not. I would
you would have been a good lifeguard.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
I have to do the same thing. But that's in
La County. That's the fire way. You were a lifeguard
in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
In both Kentucky Ana High Is that right with the
zinc on your nose.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
I was not a great lifeguard, but it's a great job.
If you could make what I make now as a lifeguard,
I would choose lifeguard. Really, in spite of all of
the all the fun that we get to have at KFI,
I would choose lifeguard.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Buddy youse a lot guard too.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
Yeah, it's great, awesome bestre you a lifeguard in Maryland.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Really well when you were late in your teens. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
It is a really cool way to get chicks when
you're young.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
Yeah, well it's you're in the sun all day, so
you're just you know, your son kissed, right, you're chill.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
No, nobody just drowned, right crows. I bet you use
that to the Yes, sorry, I'll dump that.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Why and say that to monks?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Well, okay, I'll say to monks too, I bet you
did that into your fellow.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
That was unrelated to the lifeguard gig, but sure. It's
one of the things they teach you in lifeguard school
is how to respond when somebody's wiener wears off.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I know how to do the first aid. Okay, let's
talk about the business.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Very quickly, because I know we're out of time, and
I don't want Foods to get mad at me like
he's at you right now. Look, there's another group you've
heard of, the union Unite. Here, they're the hospitality restaurant workers,
always causing a ruckus over something somebody's not paying enough,
always funny, exactly. These guys are now leading the fight
that they are calling the overpaid CEO tax. They need
(17:46):
one hundred and forty thousand signatures to get this thing
on the ballot. Wish, they say, would impose a business
tax on large corporations that pay CEOs more than fifty
times their median workers. And they provide some examples. This
is the data, not mine. They say, the CEOs of
Marriott and Hilton Hotels, for example, they make about six
(18:06):
thousand dollars an hour. Wow, Starbucks seven thousand dollars an
hour for that CEO. Delta, which is a big Olympic sponsor,
pays its CEO sixteen thousand dollars an hour. Again, that's
that's a cool que real quickly.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
And I know that the governor's against this too because
those CEOs will just move out of California.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well that is a different issue. Oh there's another millionaires
too that they're talking. So they're going they're doubling up
on the.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
City of La this issue in the City of Los Angeles,
completely independent of that. That is unbelievable that they're going
to try to hit these guys twice. You're not an
LA City voter, ten, but if you were, do you
think it's it's you're more sympathetic to the firefighter tax
or the CEO tax.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
I would say firefighter tax and then the CEO tax.
But look, I love the fire department. You know, the
firemen and women. They're terrific and I feel bad for
them that they have to deal with the you know,
La City Hall. But I still don't believe that that
money is going to the fire department. I've known city
Hall for a long time. They're going to take that
money and use it any elsewhere and going to screw
(19:09):
the fire department.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
It's probably the hardest thing that the LAF do. You
have to convince people because it's not even necessarily a
firefighter's fault. It's just the track record of the city
that's right, and the way that they deliver on the
services that they promise. If you just give us half
a cent more, yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I would love to say, let's do it and let's
give them money. But the money is not going to
go to them, and it's going to go to you know,
homelessness and be stolen and all that.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I was not coming in today.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I was supposed to be out today, not that I'm
not feeling well, not that I was on vacation, but
I had jury duty.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I called.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
You know, you have to call in every day in
Los Angeles to find out if you're needed the next day.
So I call in Sunday, your presence is not needed Monday, Tuesday, nothing.
I call in Wednesday and they said you've got to
be here at twelve thirty or no eight thirty and
(20:10):
then staying possibly till four thirty.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Right.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
So I went to jury duty this morning, and I
can't go much. I can't really go into obviously the
case or anything or who it was or what it was.
But I was thrown out of there. I was asked
to leave jury duty, and on my way out, I
(20:36):
think it was a lawyer who turned to me and under.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
His breath he goes, ding Dong no way, and I
split and I don't know whether the.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
I don't know who threw me out of there, but
somebody said you out, and I walked out. I walked
out in front of all these people. I felt embarrassed.
I felt like I was on trial.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I walked out like, yeah, I'm out. I felt like
I was on trial.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
But I got my do you have your did you
have your Ding Dong T shirt on onto your jacket?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Well?
Speaker 5 (21:12):
The guy recognized me, and I said, how did you
recognize me? Was it my KFI had my KFI pants
or the Cara Burnette shirt that says Carobranette on the
front and the back, and my Harvey Korman Tim Conway
gloves that I wear.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Did you pick up on all that? Did you pick
up on that?
Speaker 10 (21:30):
You didn't wear your innocent shirt?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
I always vote guilty if you get to that point
where you're on trial, you're done, you're done. You took
a lot of if you didn't do that, you did
something close to that, and I'm voting guilty. That's, uh,
you know, if you had a lot of opportunities to
make that go away before you got to trial. And
unless you're totally innocent, which is pretty pretty rare, that
(21:56):
that's the you know, you've never done anything wrong in
your life and now you're looking at life in prison
over something you didn't do again, Uh, pretty rare, Pretty
pretty rare. And and so I split. I was They said, Conway,
you're gone. You knew the rules, you knew the boundaries.
Out of here. So Mark Thompson told his whole audience
(22:18):
on YouTube he was going to fill in. And then
I called him and said, hey, you know I just
got thrown out of there. I got you know, rejected,
and so I'm coming in. He goes, all good, I
goes I'm exhausted anyway, But please tell the audience so
they don't think I'm lying that I was supposed to
fill in and he was. Mark Thompson was supposed to
fill in, and he'm and now he's at home.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
So there you go.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
SpaceX last night. Did anybody see the spaceship last night?
I wished I had known yesterday during the day, we
could have told everybody that at twelve thirty, you look
up and you could see it. Did you see a Crozier?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
I did not.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
I saw all the videos from you. I saw someone
from a striker up there at the alt.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
He sposted one.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
I guess he lives kind of close to you.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Oh that's cool, Okay, he lives in a very expensive
nice house, does he Yeah, he's got a lot of money,
that guy.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Did you see it? Stephush or hear it? You could
hear it too. I did not. It woke my sister.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Up in out in Malibu, and she thought it was
an earthquake and got all, you know, crazy. She messaged you,
she call you no, but she like the next like
this morning, she said why can't they do these things
during the day?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
And like I said, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Does she does she contact you when things are going
on in the news. Does she look at you as
someone who's sort of like in the know because of
what you do?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (23:35):
And quite often I have to tell her I have
no idea, Like she'll call me and ask me about
a certain case. I'm like, this is the first time
hearing about it, and she goes, you're in the news department.
I said, I know, I know, but haven't you heard
the show?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
You're in the biz.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I care very little about a lot of these stories.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
But well you are like, handle, that's right, that's right,
that's exactly right, Bellio.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Did you see it? Did you see the spaceship?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Just off your video? Received it?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
What about you ate? Oh wait, I woke you up?
Yeah when I sent that at twelve thirty.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
Yeah, it was twelve thirty.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
You're asleep. Oh yeah, what time do you go to bed?
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Like ten?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Oh my god?
Speaker 9 (24:17):
But you know, did you set an alarm? By the
way to me, were you did you just know it's
coming around that time? You were watching the clock?
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Oh, that's actually interesting. I set three alarms. I set
the one near my bed, and then my I set
my iPad and my iPhone the.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Off chance that you might have fallen asleep like Sharone.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Oh no, I wouldn't fall asleep. I just would watch
TV and not forget about like a christ.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I forgot me.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
But I was watching CNN and Alex Michaelson had it live.
He stayed in an hour and a half later to
do it live, and it was a great hour because
he prepped it, he taught. He had some of the
UH scientists there, some of the NASA people there, some
of the SpaceX people there, and it was really a
good hour hour and a half.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Were you fully closed when you ran outside and took
the video?
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Oh yeah yeah. But I had to convince my wife,
because my wife could care less about this kind of crap.
I go, hey, buddy, baby, you got to see this.
You're where is it? Where is it?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You know?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I called her once and I said, hey, there's a
rocket blasting off from Vandenberg and the sun has just
gone down. This fume, this trail from this rocket's going
to be huge, and you'll be able to see it
from our house.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
And she said, well, she goes, I'm doing laundry ha ha,
And I said, baby.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
You can take one step out of the laundry room
and look at this. It's one step.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
She's like yawn.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Yeah, She's like, oh, I'm just not into it. I'm like, no,
you got to be into it. You have to be
into it. You can't just not be into it.
Speaker 9 (25:48):
I'm kind of I have the same thing with Jen,
and I think it's that age difference. I think, for
like you and I, my dad was so huge into it.
He sat me down when I was ten days shy
of one year old to watch the moon landing. So
it's kind of ingrained in me because of my dad
and when I was born and she was born, you know,
three four years later, and she kind of missed that
window of caring as much about it as you or I.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Well, I think it's also a gender thing. I hate
to say that, but it is. You know, I know
a lot of guys that are into it, and I
don't know any wives that are into it.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
I think that all went away with the Challenger.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah yeah, I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
But I remember the moon landing. I mean I was
sitting on my parents' bed. I was six but I
do remember that. I remember sitting on their bed and then,
you know, a week later, going out looking the moon
and I'm like, wow, there was you know, guys allegedly
walked on that thing.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
But you don't believe it.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
I still do not you watched it. I do not
believe it. I don't believe we have the technology to
go to the.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Moon right now.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Did you believe it then when you were six?
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
They bsked me into that, and I don't believe that
we have the technology today.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
To go Is your dad into it?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah? My dad was really into it. Yeah, very into it.
But Angel, did you say you did see it or
you did not?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
No?
Speaker 10 (26:59):
I only saw you your videos and what you posted
of it.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Did I missed it live? Really?
Speaker 9 (27:06):
I know?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I can't believe. I'm going to train not to worry
about it.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
I think, like what Angels saying, I'm kind of trained
not to worry about it so much now because I
know you're going to watch it and videotape it and
show it.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Angel, were you awake for it was twelve thirty?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I think I've just went about around twelve thirty last night.
Oh my god, So you could have looked out your
window and seen this.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I know I could have.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I shouldn't text you.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
But the reason why I don't text you or Crozier
because I don't know what you know. You go to
bed at ten and then I wake you up and
then you're pissed.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, don't worry about it.
Speaker 10 (27:38):
You send me a text anytime of the day or night.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And if I don't want to, okay, just like, okay,
I'll just said it on. Do not disturb do it? Fine,
I don't hear it.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
You're going to take that back in about an hour.
Just try me, okay, all right, I will. I saw
the beginning of the poppies coming out. I was on
the one thirty four today near the UH two freeway
and I saw about ten or fifteen of those really
orange poppy flowers. This is going to be a spectacular
year for wildflowers.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah. Oh, it's gonna be unreal, unreal.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
If you have allergies all that, you know, the pollen,
good luck, good luck, you're gonna get wiped out this year.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
You're listening to Tim Conwayjunire on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
I videotaped. I guess that's not the proper term for it, amore.
There's no tape in that camera. I videoed it. That
sounds odd too. Recorded shot it recorded.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
It is good.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
But I thought we'd get maybe twenty thousand views on
the SpaceX landing in San Diego that streaked or strucked
over Burbank, And just on Instagram alone, that video has
one point five million views.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
Everyone should go see it.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yes on Instagram.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
At Conways show, and if you haven't followed us, maybe
you follow us.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Somebody stole it from us and didn't give us credit. Yeah,
they repurposed it.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
Okay, well, I guess you know. I think we've done
that right. We've also repurposed video and audio, so I'm
not gonna get down on it.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I try to credit people though, Yeah, we do try
to credit people. That's true. That's true. You do do then.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
But so I got one point five million on Instagram,
and CNN had a similar video up there and it
got like twenty five thousand.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
So we beat CNN.
Speaker 9 (29:31):
I think most of the videos that I've seen outside
of yours, there's usually like a tree or something that
gets in the way pretty quickly. Realisule where yours is
clean for most of.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
It, and Petros and Money replayed your video because they
like the narration that you did. But I mean they
were I think making a little fun of it.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Okay, but the reason, you know, look, these guys don't
understand social media. The reason why I sort of feminized
my voice when I do these videos is because that's
what people want. You know, I could butcher it up. No,
look at this pizza. Look at it.
Speaker 10 (30:10):
Didn't have anything to do with you. Feminine up. It's because, honestly,
I felt like you had like this childlike enthusiasm. No
in a in the in the best way possible. You
were like, that is amazing, and I think that's what
most people feel when they see it, and you you
did that.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
I'll take that, but I still am. I literally can
get emotional when I see it.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
You do.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
So I just listened to the audio. I had to
listen to the audio. Just seen the video, and yeah,
listening to it, it's a little bit.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Emotional.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Okay, I get emotional.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
I get emotional when I see that because there are
four human beings on a rocket that is streaking through
the sky and they all land back on Earth safely.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
You're almost ready to cry like a double rainbow or something.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
I was, and I am am still amazed every time
I see it because the technology. I I honor the
people who stayed in school longer than I did, and
I honor the people that paid attention more than I
did in school, because they're the ones working at SpaceX,
not me.
Speaker 9 (31:23):
Do you know people like from school that are like
doing things like that, because I don't really know anybody
quite like that, and it's pretty amazing to me to
think about the exact same thing you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, I don't know anybody. How beautiful that is for people?
Speaker 5 (31:38):
And that's me at spirit that's me at Spearmitt Rhino.
That's the wrong audioce beautiful that Yeah, that's me at
a strip bar. I'm sorry, awesome, Holy I think going
to use the work and I thought, okay, don't use
the S words, and we can't play it on the air,
(31:59):
so I edited.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
But you thinking in the moment.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
So but I'm still amazed that that how much we
care about human life in this country. You know, a
guy got sick on the space station or a woman
we don't know yet. And we brought the spaceship back
early with the other three astronauts and they came back
with that person to make sure that they're okay and
(32:25):
that you know, they didn't have enough room.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Or food, I guess to keep everybody up there.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
Or but somebody got sick on the space station, so
they had to bring him back and they brought him
back successfully when he wasn't scheduled to come back. And
we really protect human life in this country. I know
a lot of people don't believe that, you know, but
we do, and and no, and there's no better demonstration
(32:50):
of that than than space travel. You know, space travel
is always the astronauts life and their health and their
safety is always the top prior. Always same thing when
you fly around the country, your your safety on that
airplane is their top priority and and no priorities even
(33:11):
close to second. It is one through millions priority to
keep the people safe and alive and healthy while they're
on the spaceship, while they're on the plane, while they're
on the you know, in the space you know, the
s SI I, the space station, we and and I
And it makes it gets me emotional that we care
(33:32):
that much about people.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
It does.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
And you know what, you can also tell a lot
about a country with how they treat the animals, you know,
with how people, how countries treat animals. And I don't
think there's a country in the world where we treat
the animals any better than here in the United States.
I haven't seen it. I mean, we treat animals like
(33:56):
a lot of times better than human beings a lot
of times, and so and those things go a long way,
they really do. But watch that video. It's on Instagram,
it's on Facebook. Sorry if I sound excited, Sorry if
I sound emotional, but I've always been that way with
space travel. I can't believe the thrust of those engines
(34:21):
and people sitting on that explosion and willing to risk
their life to go in and into outer space and
make things better for us.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I will.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
I'm not going to apologize for that. It's it's emotional,
it really is. To see that, to see that thing
streaking across burbank at three thousand degrees or three hundred
thousand or thirty whatever it was, and to see that
that spaceship landed and those people got off and they
were healthy and they were alive. That is a tremendous
(34:51):
feat tremendous all right, We're live on KFI and We're
live as well on KFI amsikfor.
