Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Getty Museum in the one on the coast, right right
the villa, I think is what it's called something.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
And I was going out.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I had a brand new girlfriend, right, We've only been
dating for like a week or two.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Museums are always kind of that go to date place, right, Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
And she said she got tickets because back then you
have to have tickets and a reservation, yes, to go
to the Getty So she said, he, I have tickets
and reservation to go Saturday to the Getty Museum.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
You want to go? I said, uh, what time? How
did you put conditions? And this is like a new girlfriend.
I was like, really into it. Yeah, don't tell me
it's Jen. I see how that progressed forward.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Definitely was not Jen. So she said, what do you mean.
I said, well, the Dodgers are playing in the World Series.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Oh okay, and.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
It's tough for me to go to the museum when
the Dodgers are in the World Series. And she said, well,
it took me a long time to get these. I said, oh,
go I'll go. Okay, So we go to the museum
and you know, we're taking a tour, right, so there's
about twenty of us in the tour and a tour

(01:27):
there was a tour, yeah right, she signed up for
the whole tour package.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Right, So there's a.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Tour, and and she had like another friend or two there,
like another couple that she knew, and they were talking,
and all of a sudden, I realized.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
I could slide out here. And you know, because you
didn't have it, I didn't have a transistor radio.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
So I so I walked to the car and I
turned the game on in the car.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Back to the car, and they hear what the score was, right.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
So I'm sitting there and I'm and this Vince Gully
is not giving me the score, right, Vincco is the
great announcer in the world. Is the score every eight seconds?
He's not giving me the score. He's not giving me
a score. And I hear the fans yelling in the
background and cheering, and you know Don Sutton's involved, and yeah,
it was a crazy, crazy time nineteen eighty one. So
it'd be like like the Bobby Welch, you know, Dodgers

(02:20):
of that era, and I'm sitting there waiting for the score.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I'm sweating.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Its like, I get back to the stupid tour and
I'm sitting in the driver's seat, waiting, waiting, waiting, and
all of a sudden, the passenger door opens up and
she gets in the car, and she goes, let's go.
This is what it sounded like all the way home. MM,

(02:51):
all the way home. You didn't ask to turn on
the radio or anything. No, I didn't think it was
my perfect time to turn the ring and heading.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Back to the car was all right, Hey, well at
least you know where you stood right then.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I was in the I really blew that one. Is
that the last time you saw her?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
No?

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I think.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
No. We had been like going out for like six
months or so, and then you know the Yeah, they
find out what I'm all about.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
They're like past, all right, I've done an assessment, I've
had the proper time to calibrate.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
But you know, it's really weird.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I've had this happen more than once, where I went
out with a couple of different girls, but this one
in particular, she and I got to be very careful.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
How I how I talk about this because maybe maybe.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
But she had a her father lived up in Santa Barbara,
and we would go up to her father's house in
Santa Barbara and for a barbecue everyone tomorrow, like twice
a month, right, right. And her dad is like old
school marine, real guy with the garage that's filled with tools,

(04:05):
you know, like a real effing guy.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
And so we went out for like six months or
eight months, and then you know, it fizzled out.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
We broke up.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
And then I got a call from her dad and
I answered the phone and I said, Hey, what's going on?
And he says, he goes, Hey, we're having i'm a barbecue.
You want to come up for the weekend, you know,
and maybe even stay over if you want, because that's
what we used to do, stay overnight.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
And I said, I.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Said, oh, buddy, I go look, I love hanging out
with you. I don't know if you know this, but
me and your daughter broke up.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
You know what he said?

Speaker 1 (04:45):
He goes, Oh, I know, I'm not inviting her. He
didn't invite her. That's awesome, isn't that crazy? Probably doesn't
like museums either, I guess not, but but we really
like hit it off. He had funny guy. You know,
he's uh, he was uh, you know, he worked with
wood a lot. He was a big sports fan. He

(05:09):
used to just get drunk and used to drive golf
balls off the back of his house into like a
big ravine and stuff like. It was just a really
like a really great guy. So you go, yeah, I went, yea, yeah,
hell right, And she found out that I went, and
she didn't go woo. Really man, man, not only did

(05:29):
it end, but God almighty, I mean, he never ever
saw the end.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Of that her. I think he's I think she's still pissed.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Like if I would if I went out with a
girl and my you know, maybe my dad or my mom,
you know, found a connection with her and then my
dad or my mom was having a barbecue and they
didn't invite me, and they invited her.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
I would say, God bless them.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, hey, look, you know she wasn't for me, but
maybe you saw something I didn't see in her, and
you know, good, that's great.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Did that happen to you often where the parents liked
you more than she did an percent of the time? Yeah,
I was always like that was me?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Is that right? Yeah? Yeah, I did.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
I did a thing once with an instructor who helped
you sort of figure out what he called were like
your essences that kind of helped you figure out how
you were, how you are perceived to other people, and
kind of combine that with uh, their first impression.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Of you, and you end up with.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
These seven sort of key words or phrases that describe
uniquely you. Really, so my seven were things like uh,
self assured and dark corners was one, But the one
that I always thought was the funniest was their mothers
love me really.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, and that's absolutely the case. All that's great.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, all the parents always loved me far often more
than the girls.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Well it also might be because you and I are
or little our little old school.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah yeah, there's a respect that yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
But I every time that I went out with a
with a and trust me, it's like it wasn't a
harem trust me. But every time, you know, even a
blind chicken gets a colonel once in a while.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
And every time.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
I was going on with some I always had a
better relationship with their parents I did with her always. Yeah,
I mean I felt like much closer even to their
parents than that was to her. Likes sometimes I stepped.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Not in his head? You a trifecta, dude, Yeah, Sam,
is that right? I was always a favorite?

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
That crazy, Yeah, almost to almost to the fact where
you're embarrassed by it.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
You know.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
It's like, man, I got invited to my girlfriend's house
for a barbecue and she wasn't invited.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's wild and awfully embarrassing too. Okay, we're going for
a super.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yes, you were always like with all your boyfriends, you
were you hooked up with their parents in a different
way than you did with the boyfriend.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Absolutely, and even my ex husband's parents.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Really this I'll still like hang out with his mom?
Is that right? That's wild? Does that bother him? Who cares?
Or is that? Why? Is that why you do it? No? No, No,
I mean his parents were the coolest. I couldn't believe.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I No, I'm smelling the odor of that one, you know,
like I can't believe that game, but I'm.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
That's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Do you know that in my mom's household, we were
not allowed to bring a girlfriend or my sister couldn't
bring a boyfriend home, like she had a place in
Canada and I was dating this girl and she wanted
to my mom wanted her to come out to the
house to see the house and you know, hang out
for a while. And I said, hey, why doesn't she
come out and spend the weekend. And she says, she's

(08:47):
not spending the weekend unless you're married. My mom is
very strict like that. And I said, women, she's got
to drive from Toronto, which is four hours, spend the
do the barbik here, and then drive back to Toronto.
She says, yes, you're not having anybody stay under the
same roof unless you're married.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
I'm like, okay.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
So I was never able to convince any of the
girls I was going out with to make that drive.
They're like, if you'm not driving out to Toronto for
four hours then driving home for four hours. So up
until I got married, which was two thousand and five,
I was one of the last guys get married. Everybody
around my mom's house, all the neighbors, the breast of
the Hands, the curs, the Johnson's, the Dalton's, all the families.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
They all thought I was gay, even the Robertson's, everybody.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Because I couldn't bring home a girl and she couldn't
spend the weekend and they'd never drive for five hours
and then drive home for five hours. So when I
got married, I was like, wow, I thought you were
I thought you were gay. Like, no, it's my crazy mom.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
There was an interesting article.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
It's called the eight Steps to Handle a boss that's
constantly yelling at you, Right, But that's not the interesting aspect.
There's a poll in that article and the question for
the audience, And I'm going to ask you, guys, the
question if you're gonna make five hundred thousand dollars a year? Right,

(10:11):
and I'll seriously think about this. Don't give me some wild, crazy,
you know, stupid answer, right, because I'll come in there
and knock your heads together. If you had a salary
of five hundred thousand dollars a year, how often would
you tolerate your boss yelling at you?

Speaker 3 (10:25):
All?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Right? If you were getting five hundred thousand dollars a year,
would it be a weekly basis, daily basis, twice a day?
How often would you tolerate somebody coming in and really
getting in your face?

Speaker 2 (10:37):
I love this poll, right, but getting in your face?
Like you mother? You stupid you, you know you.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
I hate your wife, I hate your kids, I hate
you I hate the shirt you wear, the ba ba
And this.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Isn't this isn't our industry that we work in.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Uh no, this is any industry, right, all right, all right,
let's start with Steph Fush. How often would you tolerate
a guy coming in and yelling at you? I think
honestly once a month, once a month. Yeah, okay, all right,
let's go with Morgan, who's in for Bellio.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
I was gonna say I could take once a week,
once a week. Yeah, okay, I'm tough. I'm tough, broch
Am I supposed to just take it, no reply, no reaction. No,
you're supposed to just eat it.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, maybe once a month, once a month, maybe at
a half a mill half a million dollars.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, I can. I can deal with twelve, twelve of
those sessions.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah all right, man, And if they were all gotten
out of the way the first month, you'd be on easy.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Street, exactly right. I'll take the one a month. Who's
as will Cole Shriver with us? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Hey, you want to participate here, bub Sure, I'm meaning
towards once a month, a month, maybe at the most,
at the most, really half a million.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Okay, I'm gonna be the outlier here.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
I'm going to stay on a daily basis really because
I got yelled at a lot when I was a kid,
not just by my mom.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
My dad never once yelled at me. How about that though,
not once in his life.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
I never heard man swear and have never heard him
yell at anybody not crazy, and you know, he just
never He wasn't that kind of guy.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
But my mom, on the other hand, really made up
for it.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
But balance, so I got yelled at, probably on a
daily basis because not only is my mom, but I
had a teacher in elementary school who would yell at
us like.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
We were her kids. You know.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
She would go, you piece of s you know you
no good piece of you know whatever, bomba f you
and and we were afraid to tell our parents because
the yelling would have gotten much tougher, and she would
throw things at us, you know, like take the eraser
and throw it at a kid. I'm like, wow, this
is kind of crazy. So I sort of build up
like an immunity to it. Yeah, where it just doesn't

(12:52):
really you know, mean much. My wife very rarely yells
at me. I think since we've been married, I think
she's really gone, you know, a top notch, like a
ten out of ten, maybe twice.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
I'm very fascinated by this because I am not that
person like you where you just got to go I
push back when someone does that.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, no, good for you. You know I probably should too,
but but it doesn't well, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
There's definitely something to be said for people that can
kind that can kind of let that go, like.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
I always, you know, I always.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
It's a weird thing because you know, my mom was
was really damaged when she was a kid. She had
two she had her parents, she had seven kids in
her family, and her parents were drunk by ten am
every day, and so she had to take care of
all the kids because they're all younger than her. She
had to pack their lunch, get them dressed, get them
to school. So she was a mother to six kids

(13:49):
before she had her own, and now she had her own,
She's like, I already did this right, and I don't
want to do it again. Right. So I think when
somebody yells like that much, I've only worked it for
one person who yelled a lot, and and it didn't
really phase anybody, you know, we just sort of look
at him and he'd come in and yell at everybody
and we'd just go back to our work.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
It was kind of weird.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah, if they, if they, there are different types, like
what you're saying of people that do that. They're the
people that just kind of do it as if they're
just getting it out and then they just walk away
like it didn't happen, as opposed to making it more.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Personal, you know, and make it.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
It's this reason I'm getting on you and looking for
reasons specifically about you that that to me is a
little bit different.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
But it's also maybe one of the reasons.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
I think if you're yelled at a lot as a kid,
you don't yell at a lot of people, you know,
because I think like like if your if your dad
or mom drank a lot, then you really don't drink
a lot as adult.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
You know. That's interesting.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, I guess so, Yeah, because my dad wasn't a yeller,
but he was definitely a talker.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, and I put you on restrictioner Oh is that right? Oh? Yeah,
I would. I would be in my room from report
card report card if I had.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
A c really yeah, oh man, if it was if
I had all sees there's a party at my house.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's why you learned to make fake report cards. I
tried that. I got caught.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Or you're a teacher's assistant, you know, right, And I
remember making a forty eight into a ninety eight pretty quickly.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I did try to do that. I got caught.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
I tried to forge my dad's name on the bottom
of it, and they went, I'm back here, all right.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
What's going on with the news.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Belly on a camera on Dellio. How old is Richie?
Do you think Richie who works with us on I
don't know Wednesday and Thursday? How old is Richie? He's
in his early thirties, early thirties. Wow, General Dana, you
know who Vin Scully is?

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Of course they do, okay, all right, Well, Richie who
works with us as a producer, he'd never heard that
name before yesterday.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
You never heard the name Vin Scully never. You know
how many.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Different areas in life that you have to avoid.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Not to have heard that name.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
You had to have avoided baseball sports professionally, right, Because
Vin Scully translates every sport. People in basketball talk about him,
people in hockey, people in football. He called football games
for a while, and he was the voice of the

(16:32):
Dodgers for I don't know, sixty years, sixty plus years,
seventy years. He was nine four ninety five when he
passed away. There's the street down your Dodger Stadium is
called Vin Scully Avenue. Vin Scully is probably the best
known sportscaster, maybe in the world, in the history of

(16:53):
the world. And this guy, Richie, had never heard that
name before. There are five huge oversized photos of Vin
Scully where Richie preps the show. There's one behind him.
We're Richie's mailboxes. There's a six or seven foot huge
shot of there is okay, Richie is here. Richie's producing

(17:22):
bellio has a photo of Richie producing the show and
he's looking at a computer screen. And behind that computer
computer screen there's a twelve foot picture of Vin Scully.
He looks at him every days and never asked who
that was?

Speaker 2 (17:36):
That is? What could we put that on social medium?
All right? You got to see this photo.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
This is a guy who stared at Vin Scully for
the last two or three years every day. A twelve
foot picture of him sitting right there, and he'd never
heard that name before. So we had to make a
promo out of it. Good catch, Stefu's good catch, Good catch.
I had all these baseball cards. Kelly would call the game,
and I moved my baseball cards around.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
He learned the game from Vin Sculling. That's Vin Scully.
Was great man. Hey, Richie, have you ever heard of
Vin Scully? No idea who that is? Moe Kelly just
put his head down. There's a huge picture of him
down the hall.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
There's five of them, the Tim Conway Junior Show.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
That's great. Reggie don't change. That's great for the radio
live four to seven pm on KFI. There you go.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Mo Kelly came in because we're doing the cross talk
with Mo Kelly. I've never seen Mo do this before,
and I've known Mo for ten years. When Richie said
he had never heard that name before, Mo Kelly put
his head down on the desk on the counter here
in the studio, just.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Right down.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
And just rested his head there for thirty seconds. That's
thought he passed out. Never heard that name before. Richie's
producing a radio show, not in not only in Los Angeles,
where Vin Skelly called the games for Hit more than
my lifetime. But our sister station down the hall five

(19:04):
seventy AM ran the Dodgers for Vin Scully's last three
or four years, and so every time he came in
the building, he heard that noise, he heard that voice,
and that was Vin Sculley.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Twenty feet from that door is where he currently works.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, and you have to avoid not only professional sports,
but you have to avoid entertainment. You have to avoid
the internet, you have to avoid that sports station because
he's still on that sports station. You have to avoid
a lot of things in life to not know who
Vin Scully is, I mean actively avoid him.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Like, for instance, I know a little bit about.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Who's a Rod used to be dating j Lo good right,
And I don't follow j Lo at all, but I've
heard stories that she's kind of difficult to get along
with or difficult to work with. And I just heard these,
you know, crazy stories. But and I'd avoid a lot
of j Low's stuff. And I know that about her,

(20:07):
you know, because you just hear it, you file it,
and you know. And as a matter of fact, their
nickname was a Rod and a hole for a while
when they were dating and I knew that, but man,
oh man, I find it. I find it really refreshing
that this richie didn't know who Vin Scully was. I

(20:27):
really do because he's not clogging up his mind with
all this you know nonsense.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
I like that. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
You know, the happiest people I've ever met in my
life are the people who are not are not cluttering
their brain with with all kinds of crazy information. We
had a guy who he used to work with over
of the radio station, and we used to do a
bit called Stump the Monkey. And I'm not going to

(20:59):
say his name or anything because he's a good guy
and he's moved on. But we'd ask this guy simple questions,
like where he thought the Mile High City was. I said,
where do you think the Mile High City is?

Speaker 2 (21:10):
You ever heard that? Time?

Speaker 1 (21:11):
He goes, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Hey, buddy, I've
heard it a lot, Buddy, I love it, Buddy. I said,
where do you think the Mile High City is? And
he says, I don't know, uh Seattle? Like oh no, no, no, See,
the Mile High City is a mile and the altitude
of the city is a mile. It's like over fifty
like fifty four hundred feet or so. So unless there's

(21:33):
a fifty four hundred foot cliff in Seattle and then
Seattle sits above that, that's the wrong answer. And we'd
ask him simple questions like that, like, where did you
think where do you think ivory comes from?

Speaker 2 (21:45):
What do you think ivory? Where does that come from?

Speaker 1 (21:47):
When somebody has an ivory statue or an ivory ash, traber,
where does ivory from? He goes, I think that's a plant, buddy, Right,
they grow ivy, I mean ivory, ivory.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
They grow ivory. Right, it's a leafy plant.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
We also asked him, these are some of the just
the some of the better ones. What he thought the
Denver football team was called? What do you think the
Denver football team is called? And he said, I think
it's the Seahawks, buddy, And Doug Steckler put his head
down and he said, there may have never been a
Seahawks in the history of Denver. Seahawks usually hang out

(22:24):
on the coast. I don't think there's ever been a
seahawk that has flown fifteen hundred miles to hang out
in Denver. The Seahawks, I think Denver, Buddy, I think wrong.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
I think wrong. All right, that's fun though, what the
hell you know?

Speaker 4 (22:40):
All right?

Speaker 2 (22:41):
We have horses that are that's fun, all right? What's
going on with the news?

Speaker 1 (22:47):
I guess the most well behaved person on the floor
here on the fourth floor in our burbank location of
iHeartMedia has got to be Sharon Bellia.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Nobody.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
When you meet Sharon Bellio, you assume that she's never
had any negative contact with the cops. I don't even
think you've ever been pulled over? Have you ever been
pulled over? When I was younger, But when's the last
time a cop pulled you over? It's been a long
like decades.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, okay, because you do you don't do anything wrong.
I try the rule. I believe in playing by the rules.
That's right now. But you do it inside and outside
of the workplace. Yeah, I'm a rules follower, that's right. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
And you've never done, you know, anything to wells a
while you slip on a banana peel.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, But but you were arrested, as Charlie, I wasn't arrested, No,
but you did something.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Well, they came to the house to well tell us
the whole story, horn Orn, How did what happened to you. Well,
I'll put this disclaimer out. Kids, don't do this at all.
It can lead to bad things, Okay, Okay.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
So it was a school.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
So a couple of my girlfriends came over. I was
in ninth grade and a couple of my girlfriends came
over to you know, we were working on a homework
project together. So we went down in the basement and
there's a phone down there, and there was a Yellow
Pages and we were.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Just horsing around.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
And then one of our friends wasn't there with us
that night, so we decided to like start ordering stuff
to our house. Yeah, like pizzas, and we ordered like
some tuxedos, and we ordered like a limo.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Wait a minute, where you grew up, they had they
had home delivery of tuxedos.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
No, oh no.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
But we placed orders with all these like different businesses, okay, like,
and we were just cracking. We thought it was because
they believed us, and so they would take the order,
and we were making the order just outrageous that we
wanted like lime green tuxedos.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
You know, we're talking, yes, and I'm going to need
three lime green tuxedos, you know.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
So they're taking all our information, and we ordered the
pizzas and we ordered like some fish, and we ordered
all kinds of stuff. Well, because we didn't let our
friends' parents in on it, and they were getting all
these phone calls to verify the orders, they called the police.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
And so.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Then when they went to the three of the I
don't know how they figured out it was us, but
they went and my other friends denied it, but when
they found ice, I admitted it was me.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Oh man.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
So the police showed up to the house and they
made me call all the businesses that I called and.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Apologize how embarrassing it was.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
And actually the businesses were like, oh, they caught you finally,
So I learned my lesson.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Where'd they catch you? Like crawling over the state line?

Speaker 1 (25:47):
No?

Speaker 2 (25:48):
I think, no, I think. My friend like, oh, I
know exactly what it was. She thought somebody else did
it and they weren't involved in it. And that's when
I admitted that I. Huh, I copped to it. Wow,
what was the punishment?

Speaker 4 (26:03):
I got grounded?

Speaker 1 (26:04):
And uh?

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Did they reduce your phone privileges?

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, yeah, you know that was the thing.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
You had a lot of kids on know this, But
when you were a kid, you had phone privileges. Yeah,
and you could destroy them.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
I destroyed my phone grounding. Whoever hears of kids being
grounded anymore?

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Never.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
I was grounded for like a whole month. I couldn't
go to any of the games at school. I really
go out after school.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah. Wow, your mom and dad were strict. They were strict.
You know, it's harder on the parents to ground kids
than it is the kids. I believe that to be true.
I think it's true. And it's hard for parents to
stick to the grounding. Yeah, because you know, you like
please please, please, please please, and it's hard to say no.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
It wasn't hard for my dad. No months, set a
time in my room? Really Yeah, well that was just
for a CE on my report card. Oh wow, man,
I we had a cake.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
If I got a c my Da'd be like, oh
would you cheat? Cheat? Did did the congratulations?

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (27:08):
And congratulations was misspelled with a capital set yes, he under.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
That's right. Wow.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
You guys have seen my photos when I was a child.
That's wild, man. But yeah, we used to do those
phony phone calls. We never got the cops called on
us though.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Well I always have to overdo stuff.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yes, I had maybe called one or two, it wouldn't
have been a but we called like twenty different places.
And I think that their parents got bombarded with phone
calls and they weren't happy we.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Used to call.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
And I think this restaurant's not there anymore, so I
can tell this story on the air. But there was
Jerry's Deli and Encino and Jerry's Deli in Studio City,
and we were in the Studio City one me and
a buddy, and we found out the manager of the
Studio City I think his name was Greg, And so

(27:58):
we went to the pay phone at the bowling Alley
at the Studio City location and we called the Encino
Jerry's Deli and we said, hey, it's that manager.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Greg goes, Hey, Greg, how you doing?

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Ah good?

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Okay, but man, we're running short on a lot of stuff.
And he goes, what do you need? What do you need?

Speaker 1 (28:15):
I said, well, we need you know, three big roast beefs.
We need five cakes, We need twenty loads of bray,
we need this, we need napkins, we need to play
about about a We had like forty things.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
He goes, Buddy, he goes, I'll put in the van.
I'll be right over.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
And we used to wait in the Jerry's Deli and
Studio City for him to bring all this crap over
and then just sit there and watch him stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Then he was stupid, all right, but we had nothing
to do. I went a.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Stupid thing, and then we called another There was a
deli Encino called Froman's Deli, and so we called the
owner of the deli and said, hey, we're opening up
a restaurant across the street named Broman's Deli, and we
wanted to sell the same thing you're selling, but at
a cheaper price. The mcdowells, yeah, And you know what

(29:04):
his response was, He goes, he goes, it's very difficult
to run a business.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
I wish you the best. Lack a great response.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, And I said, I said, hey, we're going to
run the same menu you're running.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Can we look at it? And he said, I'll have
one of my guys drive it over to you. Where
are you?

Speaker 1 (29:20):
He said, you're not going to be successful, and he
sort of he knew way a way to defuse it
by just saying, you know what, that's a great idea.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
I think you guys are onto something and that was
a great way to fuse it.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
But though you can't make phone calls like that anymore
because everybody now has caller ID and they know where
you're calling from or call block, and those.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Things I think are gone. I don't think you can
make a phony phone calls. Do you do that crows
when you were a kid? I tend to think I did.
It wasn't a thing of mine. I might have done once.
It was fun to do, you know, just to call
people and mess with them.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
But it does get out of control when you know,
when you order thousands of dollars worth of tuxedos, is
your refrigerator running?

Speaker 2 (30:00):
We did those two? Your cows in our garden. We
don't have a cow, we don't have a garden. Stupid
people are going on. That was one of the dumbest
things I've just heard in my life. We were in

(30:20):
ninth grade. Cows in our garden. We don't have a cow,
but we don't have a garden.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
It's like you got the best of them. Oh your
refrigerators reading you Betta go kitchen or Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
It was stupid. It was stupid, but it was you know,
we had nothing to do, you know, We're bored. It
was it was of fun. I enjoyed it all right.
