A police pursuit ended tragically when a suspect jumped a median, was struck, and killed, sparking a debate about whether TV stations should air such footage or risk viewers turning to social media to see it anyway. Another deadly crash in Ontario at the 15 and 10 interchange left three people dead and six hospitalized after semitrucks and multiple vehicles collided.Â
The show then dove into an NFL debate: is it better to be the best player on a losing team or the worst player on a winning one?Â

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's Conway Show. It's Tuesday. Mark Thompson's in the house.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Everybody please be seated. Oh my gosh, it's so overwhelmed
with the greeting. It really is something.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Did you see the car chase that ended up with
the guy getting hit by a car lin I.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Just saw the end of it. It's a pok choice
from the young man.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Three D houses of poor choices, Yeah, in his life,
and we got to see the last one, you know, Yeah,
when you're running away from the cops. It's a series
of bad choices. And sometimes we get to see the
Dan new mom that's very very well spoken, and you
pointed it out before. I know, he's really quite the
sophisticate these days. I think I recall you repeatedly making
(00:51):
the point that by the time we've seen this moment,
there have been, as you sort of suggest, like this
domino of bad choices that have led to that Moment's right, Yeah,
and we get to see the World Series or the
super Bowl of the bad choices. Man, this guy instantly
becomes a celebrity, and you feel bad for him because
obviously that's not the way he wanted to go out,
(01:12):
or maybe he did.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I don't know, you know, I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Interesting that you say we get to see the World
Series because he will not.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yes, that's right, that's too bad, that's grim, that's really great.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
But you know, you hate to blame the guy that
did it, but I don't know who else to blame.
You know, the guy who hit him. Yeah, you can't
blame that guy, can't blame the cop. No, you have
to only blame the guy who ran out in traffic, right,
But you never know what he's going through.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Well, there's an explanation, always, sure. But I mean, I
just think that you get. I mean, in terms of
who's to blame for him not being around anymore?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Him, it's got to be him.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, Yeah, I've shuffled the dominoes a couple of different ways.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
That always comes up, that guy.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
But here's the problem with local news.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
And again, Mark, I don't have to tell you I
might be the biggest fan of local news in radio
in La. I watched news all day long. I record it.
I'm i know a bunch of the people in local news.
I text them. I know Mark Brown and Colleen Williams
and Fred Rogan and you know you you used to
(02:14):
be in local news, John Beard, all these guys. You know,
I know these guys and they're terrific guys. But the
news is going to eventually go away unless they fix
one big hole that they have in it. Whenever they
show something like last night where that guy was killed,
they showed it live initially and then they wouldn't show
(02:37):
it again. So everybody goes to Twitter and sees it
on five different stations, on KTLA, on k CAL, CBS, NBC,
and you see all the angles of it, and then
then you stay on Twitter or you stay on YouTube
wherever you saw it for a couple hours, and that
takes away from the audience of the news. So it's
(02:57):
a dilemma the news directors have of do you show
it again and run the risk of pissing people at
moms off where the kids see it at home, or
do you not show it and let your whole audience leave.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, and it oftentimes depends on what the it is like.
In this case, when you show it it, I'd argue
I mean, from what I could see, you can't really
see much, you know, I know, I know they didn't
want to show the moment of impact, right, but it
didn't look as though you were going to be able
to see much in the moment of impact. And as
you say, the entire audience on mass goes to other
platforms to find it. There are incidents. In fact, it
(03:32):
was really this incident has a recall. Wasn't there something
over in Hollywood where a guy had a shotgun. He
had a gun and he you know, turned it toward
his head and you know, did himself in. And as
I recall, that was the culmination of a chase or
a standoff or something. And we were live on the
guy and you could see him closely as with a
(03:53):
close up, and all of a sudden he did this
surprisingly and it was like, oh my god, we didn't
want to show that on television. So I think you
could have a reasonable conversation about whether or not you
do want to show that on television. But on this
chase thing, I think you're one hundred percent right. I
there's nothing there that is so gruesome might be the
word i'd use that. Do you have to you know,
(04:14):
cut away.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So yeah, it wasn't that gruesome. The reaction from you know,
like when you're watching it, the reaction is, oh, oh man,
look at that. You know, like it's you know, like
it's not huge. But the reaction of some of these
local anchors is like they've never seen anything like that
before in their lives, which is a little disingenuous.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I should say, Oh you think, yeah, like you're saying, hey,
what did you think?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
They're like, oh my god, oh my god. That is
a little over the.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Top because you're saying, like, as you lay it out
the narrative, that is a possibility.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's just strong possibility. Yeah, exactly, Yeah, it's one of
the top possibilities. Okay, but here's how it sounded last night.
I think this is k COW or Channel two, Channel nine.
I think this is their reaction to it last night.
Chase ended radically where the guy gets hit by a car.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Jah. This pursuit started in the eight o'clock hour by
LAPD Neon Division officers that tried to pull over a
stolen white van south of Downtown LA. The pursuit went
through Downtown LA, got through Chinatown, and jumped onto the
one ten Freeway northbound. Now, it was about Avenue forty
three when that driver decided to jump out of the vehicle.
Let's go to the video that we shot during the pursuit.
(05:29):
That driver coming up to the center divider there couldn't
open the door, so we decided to crawl out the
window as a car was moving, and he fell down
on top of the center divider and tumbled into lanes
of the southbound side of the one ten freeway. Tumbled
into lanes and was struck by two vehicles, struck and
killed unfortunately here at the scene. Now, as we come
(05:51):
back to the scene here, I could tell you that
another part of the video that we shot was of
a dog that was a rescue front the van. That
the van was dry, I mean animal control officers were
able to take that dog into custody and take.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Him away, and take the dog into custody.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
To take that dog into custody.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I think it's protective the charge him.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
With and take him away. The ban has been cleared
in the northbound side of the one tent Freeway is
now open, but the southbound side of the one tent
Freeway remains closed and the CHP is seeing a six
hour SIG alert is in effect at this point. But
the good news is northbound lanes are open at this
point and southbound will open in approximately five to six hours.
(06:30):
That's the latest overhead.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Up in side all right, all right, but you know
you can see it on Twitter and on Facebook. But Angel,
there's another wreck that happened. That's happening going on right
now on the ten freeway. And from what I can see,
maybe I'm wrong here, but is this near the fifteen.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Yeah, it's right out to fifteen on the ten westbound
out the fifteen freeway, all right.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And what's going on. Everything's buttoned up and closed up.
What happened out there?
Speaker 6 (06:58):
So there was an earlier crash and from witnesses who were,
you know, at their shops just on the other side
of the fence along the freeway that saw everything, they
said that this big rig was just hauling down the
freeway and he didn't even stop when all the traffic
ahead of him was had come to a stop. So
(07:20):
that yeah, maybe maybe, I mean, he didn't just full blown,
full on plowed into other trucks and cars, and that
seems to be the culprit of this crash. So as
a result of that, all mainline lanes are blocked at
the fifteen on the ten westbound, and so all travel
(07:40):
is being funneled into the two fast track lanes. And
it's been that way for hours. I think it started
at one thirty this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That's horrible.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
I just looked at the backup and we're still is
just a huge mess backing up out of Fontana getting
away from Sierra Avenue. So you know what to do.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Take the surface.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Streets, that's right, Yeah, I think you can get off.
Where can you get off there where you're not going
to be screwed by this?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Is that Sierra.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Yeah, get off of Sierra. That's where the delays begin.
And then from Sierra you can go north to San
Bernardino Avenue. Take that west that'll become Fourth Street, and
then you can reconnect with the ten westbound around Haven
and the freeway is open at that point. The on
ramps are as well.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
So that's in Fontana basically.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Then, yeah, Sierra's in Fontana. The crash is in Ontario, Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And Speedway out there is that in the same area?
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Yeah, it is out there, and so's the Ontario Airport.
Ontario Airport is just west of the scene of this crash.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Oh, so if you have a plane to catch at
Ontario Airport, you're coming from the east, you're going to
get hosed.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Oh, totally take the sixty if that's the case, because
the sixty westbound is looking really, really good all the
way to the fifteen. After the fifteen it gets a
little crowded, but it's nothing like the ten.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
They would die or get hurt in this thing.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Well and yeah, yes, is the answer. Initial reports first
on ABC seven, Highway Patrol was saying that it was
a quadruple fatal.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
They retracted that, and KTLA came out and said that
it's a triple So a lot of people, a lot
of people with some major injuries as well, and so
far three have passed. God about another five, I believe
maybe six are in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Trying to get around, just trying to get buy in
life and some idiot plows into you. All right, thank you,
Angel Martinez. We'll keep you updated all day long on
that horrific accident. It's the ten west right at the fifteen,
right near the Ontario Airport. So if you're picking somebody
up for the Ontario Airport, or going to the Ontario Airport.
There's going to be a lot of traffic in that area,
(09:49):
tons of it.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
One more thing, the connectors from the fifteen, both directions
to the ten west also shut down.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Man, all right, we'll be on that all day long
with Angel Old Martinez.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It's Conway and Thompson.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Like kind of a bummer to start with, you know,
two fatal accidents.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, but some good uh I thought, uh information about
how to get around the around these things that have
dominated the headlines this afternoon. So you've had some news
you can use, right.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
But it's weird to think that, you know that a
bunch of people are in their car just doing what
they do every day.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Now they're gone, you know. Yeah, it's so of course
that's true.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
How quickly you can disappear, and all the lives that
are banged up and messed up because of this.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Guy, Oh my god, Yeah, unreal.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
I know that Mark you, and I mostly you and football,
though you like the hazard part of your wages on
the outcome of certain events.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Drunk on the action, Tim, all right, drunk on it.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The Raiders playing Kansas City yesterday, they had a total
of three first downs and the Raiders are into eet.
Their best player on the team got the ball once
in the first fifteen plays of that game.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh wow, So they're really you're trying to.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Conserve his energy for maybe next year or the following year,
because they know this year is a wash. This is
it's over, but there are probably still guys out there
giving you know, tips, and you know the tout lines.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I read them all. I read them all, and I'll
tell you that the Raiders were a good bet. Oh
and they use of phraseology. You'll find this a lot.
You'll find the Raiders are a good value. Right at
fourteen and a half or whatever the line was. I
think it was twelve and a half the underdog. There
(12:23):
were a twelve and a half point underdog. So again
for those who are not to degenerates, you start the game,
most people know the deal. Twelve point, Yeah, twelve and
a half points, so that's a lot of points you
can And so the arguments were, you know, this is
an NFL team, the Raiders and Kansas City is due
for a let up game. And you hear all of
these various arguments, and there's value. Again, they love this
(12:44):
said there's value at twelve and a half. And the
reality was the final score was thirty thirty one nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, even close. The Raiders had three first downs. They
had two in the first half and one in the
second half. One first down and.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You can bet on that too. You can bet on
the number of first downs.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
And by the way, that first down was given to them,
No on the kickoff.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Oh you know, they got.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
The kickoff, they had the first first down, and then
never had one again.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Well, it's interesting to hear that they've kind of packed
up like they're meaning that they're not playing some of.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
The key Well, there has a lot of injuries too. Yeah,
but I will say I noticed that there's a lot
more players on losing teams that are really angry with losing.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
And I have a theory on that.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
And maybe I've told you this before, but if you're
a great if you play in the NFL, you've you've
never been one in five in your life. You had
a great high school team. And if you're playing on
a crappy high school team, your mom and dad changed
high schools for you to put you on a better team.
Then you went, you got you know, you got the
scouted for college and nineteen colleges wanted you, and you
(13:52):
played for Alabama and you never lost, maybe never lost
a game. And now you're in the pros and you're
one in five and you've never been at one in
five and you don't know how to handle it.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It drives you crazy, especially when.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
You see idiots you know online or on ESPN telling
you how horrible you are.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, this is interesting. Always you're you're so right. I mean, obviously,
somebody who's excelling at the level they're going to be
going into the NFL. They're used to being stars in
high school, stars in college, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
They all were.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, exactly, there was not an average guy in the bunch.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Better for your career if you're one of these athletes
to be a great player on a crap team and
a great player on a team of other great players.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I think all of these guys desired to hold that
trophy and to win the last game of the season.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So you want to be surrounded by others.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I think you want.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I think the goal, especially in hockey, is to win
the last game of the season, and the only way
to win the Cup is to win the last game
of the season. If you don't do that, then, you know,
then you feel like you failed.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Well. I think also the chance to be your best
is usually enhanced by being around other great players. Right, So,
I mean, you have an organization and players who are
all really good or for the most part, really good,
your chances of excelling are much much better.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
But here's the thing, though, if you are, chances are,
if you're a good player coming out of college, you're
going to a bad team.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
You're going to have to excel and show how good
you are so you could get the big contract from
the good team so that they can see you as
the difference maker to put them over the top, to
make them a favorite.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
But every one of these guys who plays in the NFL,
they were always the first or second best guy on
any team they played for.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Oh for sure.
Speaker 9 (15:42):
All of that.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
I agree with your theory one hundred percent if you
are accustomed to winning, especially say, if you're in a
town like you were talking about people on ESPN. If
you're in a town like like say Nashville, and you're
not doing well, then anytime you go out after the
game to a bar or a restaurant to buy fans
who either don't want to talk to you sure or
are giving you pointers on what to do to get
(16:05):
better instead of celebrating you like you would be celebrated
if you were.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
In a team that was on a team that was winning.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Right, But that only takes place in small markets. Like
if you play for the Rams and you go to
I don't know, you go to Morton Steakhouse for dinner,
ninety nine percent of the people that restaurant have no
idea who you are. Absolutely, But if you play in
right in Nashville, where you play in Green Bay, and
you go to a restaurant, everybody in that restaurant knows
who you are. Everybody you know, and it's weird, like
(16:35):
you know, when small markets are that way. There's a
friend of mine, a guy named Lars Larson. He's a
radio host up in Northwest. He does conservative radio. He's
very good at what he does, and I've become friends
with him over the years. We went to dinner, like
I don't know, eight, nine, ten years ago, and we
went to a place in Portland called Roots Chris Steakhouse.
(16:56):
Here to them, Yeah, they cook everything in butter.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I enjoy butter.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
So we went into the restaurant and he couldn't buy
himself a drink or a meal.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Thirty people in that restaurant.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
It's Lars laws no let me buy no, no, let
me buy no, no, No, I'm buying you large.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You're the best.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
You know, but you go to a restaurant here in
LA and you know, and you're a celebrity or an athlete, nobody.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Knows who you are.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
No, No, it's really true.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
It's amazing. You can really hide here in LA, but
you know there. But there are some athletes that didn't
really excel until they got to the pros, and Oral
Herscheizer is one of them. Oral Herscheizer was thrown off
his high school team because he was a crappy pitcher.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
And he was also benched in college because he was
a crappy pitcher. And then when he got to the Pros,
he wasn't that great. And then Tommy Lasorda said, you're
gonna be the bulldog. You're going to change your attitude
and really pitch like like you're angry as hell all
the time, and go out there and destroy these guys
every time you get on that mound.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
And he did. And it was because of Tommy Lesorta.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
And I know that because I went to college the
same college that Oral Herscheizer did, and he has no
great stats in college.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
He didn't knock it out from college at all.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I didn't know that story that, but in the in
the pros, I think he had what fifty nine?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Hey, is that the Kate's Kate?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh, I think Kate's uh, will Tell will straighten me
out on this. I think he had fifty eight or
fifty nine scoreless innings.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oral Hrschey's always I'm incredibly dominating, one.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Of the best pictures in the world. Yeah, but didn't
have a great high school or really rose to the
moment in the world series with the Dodgers. Mean, my god, man,
what a great guy. I love that guy. Him doing
car commercials. That's right, he's the best. Oral Hershey over
fifty nine, fifty nine, fifty nine two thirds?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I think is I lived for those commercials.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I love that guy, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Connaway and Thompson were lying, oh, is that Kate's out there? Yeah,
but it is always he working ice work.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Krozer, yeah, I know, I know, but I'd like Kate's
He'll had more information, all right. You know, Krozer is
a numbers guy. Kate's is a you know, his personality.
What happened on the way to the number?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I see?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Okay, all right, we're live on k We'll get them
for you, Yeah, we will. We will all right, re
live on CAF I know where the Crozier.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
KIM six forty. It's Conway Show. Mark Thompson is here.
Dang dong with you, dude. There's I saw this study
the other day or maybe yesterday that the lowest level
of production in the history of Los Angeles is happening
right now.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I feel it. I mean, I think this is what's
happened in Los Angeles and it hasn't been something that's
happened overnight. I mean, it's pretty slow process. In COVID
of course knocked out a lot, but even before COVID,
the drain was real and people were production companies, studios
were seeking production elsewhere because there's just so many economic
(19:56):
incentives overseas. Canada, Canada started, I think, Australia was really good,
and Atlanta other states with all of these incentives that
California just hasn't been able to compete with. Now we
even as we've stepped up, we're late to the party
and maybe it's not enough. And Hollywood just feels hollowed out.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Really it does.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, and it has effect on everybody, you know, not
just people in the industry, right, you know, people own stores,
you know, car dealerships, everybody where those checks were to
go are gone. You know, there's less production in Hollywood
right now than during the actors strike. Wow, how about that?
That's extra and the writers strike. Yeah, less production now
(20:33):
than during the strikes. And I don't know what the
answer is. You know, I don't know how it happened,
and I don't know what the answer is. But they've
got to get that together or else this part of
California is going to look like a you know, a desert,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I mean, it's a whole economy, as you say, it's
all these other interlocking businesses.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yeah, they always use this.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I don't know why they always use you know, when
these guys aren't working, it affects your local cleaners, right,
you know, like like people outside of High Hollywood don't
know what a cleaners is, right, you know that they're
the only ones that use cleaners.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I told you, I just tell you. This is that
digression and then we'll get back to that story. But
when I moved into the valley, which I really love,
I was just saying the last night. I love the
location in so many ways. We got a cleaner's in.
They're really close by and they come to the house.
They'll deliver the pick up and deliver right. And it's
a pretty expensive cleaners. And I always am giving Courtney
a hard time because she gets a lot of stuff cleaned.
(21:28):
I'm just saying the monthly bill is pretty high. But
he is super friendly, this guy. But he writes and says,
my last name Thomas, and my last name is Thompson
T O M A. S. He's written since the very
beginning and now he's so friendly and so full of life.
(21:49):
I wouldn't ever and there's no reason to correct him,
but he is. When I see the stuff, well, you know,
he's all these questions about how we're doing, and all
these persons. We've shared all of this, you know, through
the year, through the years, through COVID, through all the
grief and losses, him having to put animals down, and
we exchange it that his his brother was sick brother.
We know everything about him. Yet he thinks our last
name is Thomas, and it's just great when I see
(22:13):
it there on the bag Thomas. So he is one
of the cleaners affected by all of this.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I go to a cleaner's in Burbank and I was
there a couple of months ago, and there's a couple
of guys in line in front of me, and I'm
not hurry, so I'm just looking at all the you know,
celebrities pictures on the wall. And I finally get up
to the front of the line. I go wow, I said,
do all these guys come here? And he goes, no, no, no,
the owner bought all those pictures on eBay.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah, I said, so you're lying to everybody technically.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
And then I pointed to a picture of one of
your buddies, Frank Bruce Buckley on KTLA. His pictures in
that cleaner Uh huh, And I said, oh, has this
guy come in here?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
And he goes, no, that guy died, so.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
He's really up to speed on everything. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I think he got him mixed up with Sam.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Another guy was Sam Rubenter. Yeah yeah right, And.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I said he really died. He goes, yeah, yeah, he
died a couple months ago.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Oh wow. Well, yeah, that's good. I'm glad you didn't
correct him. That's good, I.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Said, I wonder what shortcuts he's using on my shirts
if he's also you know, bsing everybody on the on
the piture.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I mean, information isn't his thing. Cleaning your shirts is
his thing.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
My dad loved the guy at the corner of his
He still live on Haskell and Ventura, and the guy
on the corner was the greatest guy ever because he
went to the racetrack. He was the guy who owned
the cleaners, but also went to the racetrack. So my
dad would be down there all the time. And I'm
the guy I live with my dad, and one of
my chores growing up was I was in charge of
(23:44):
taking his clothes to the laundry or the cleaners and
picking him up. And I'd always take his clothes down there,
and you know, the guy would say, give me a slip,
and you know, a week ready, They'll be ready in
a week. And they always came back and they always
smelled like cigarettes, because the guy who owned the cleaners
inside the cleaners.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
And I said, I.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Said, oh man, I said, Dad, you know all your
clothes now smell like cigarettes.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
And he said yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
But once in a while, that guy's got a tip
at San Anita. And I liked that so, oh man,
that's a trade off. And you know, my grandfather, my
dad's mom was a professional seamstress. She could reupholster a
couch where it could sit in Macy's and people like, wow,
that's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I mean, it was perfect.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You know, it's a very difficult job to do to
reupholster an entire couch. But she made all her cloning clothes,
made all the drapes in the house, reappolstered the furniture.
She was beautiful, one of the best seamstress I think
in all of Ohio. And so my dad picked that
up as a kid. And my dad as he got older,
you know, when he got you know, he was slowing
down in work and wanted to spend more time at home.
(24:52):
He would he bought a beautiful sewing machine and he'd
make his own sports codes.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
What that's true, true story.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
So I would take his sports I took him down
to the cleaners. The guy said, I'll be done a week, fine,
And and a week later he had he gave him
back to me on a hangar, but no plastic over
him and a note on him. And I said, what
is this And he said, oh, he goes these must
have been prop clothes from the Carabernet show. They're so
poorly made. I can't put him on our machine.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh my.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
And I didn't have the balls to tell my dad
that it's not right, so I just put the plastic
over from another one over him.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I'm like, hey, they're beautiful, they're all clean.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Oh wow, But he said they're so poorly made they
don't fit on any of our machines.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
It's a great story. And you're such a good son
that you didn't. I didn't want to tell him. Yeah,
you know, I didn't want to tell him. I you know,
he's not He probably would have thought it was funny
and you used it in his act. But but I
didn't want to break his heart, you know, because he
worked so hard on those Sure, sure he was constantly.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Look when I was fifteen, I'd come home at like
two o'clock in the morning buzz from going to a party,
and my dad would have been a sewing machine making
you know, like his own pants and his own What.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Other major stars would be making their own clothes. I
don't thin get any of them, even if if the
job isn't like you know, uh, triple a great I mean,
just to be there and even be able to know
how to begin that process.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I remember coming home one night and my dad had
a plunger and a snake and a toilet had backed up,
and he's plunging a toilet and a snake. He's trying
to get this thing, you know, going again. And I
opened the door and I see him there. He's sweating.
There's crap all over the place, and I said, I said,
how's it going.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
He goes.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
You think Bob Hope's doing this.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
You think exactly right. Frank Sinatra's knee deep in this. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
But he's a blue He was a blue collar guy
until the end. And that's so he was always friends
with the guy who is the lighting guy or the
wardrobe guy or you know, the prop guy. He was
never really you know, those are the guys he related to.
Guys went to the track, smokes cigarettes and drank.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah. That's really good. That special rights when Thompson.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
We still have that closure on the ten westbound near
the fifteen that's gonna be closed for some time. So
if you can avoid that area, please get off the
freeway and take side streets. That's an angel's tip whenever
she wins a Golden Mic. It's always ten's busy take
side streets. When you when you submit this for or
(27:22):
not this one, but in the past when you submitted,
you know, Golden Mic Audio reports. Which one did? What
did you win for? Did you win foural fives? Busy
take side Streets?
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Yes, that was the first one that I was awarded,
the four five takes side streets.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
And then you want to you want another one?
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Yeah, I did, I won. There was one in the
downtown area, ten eastbound. It was ten eastbound crash take
surface streets.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Oh I remember that?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, services, Wow, that's impression from the four. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
And then a subtle a shot to the gut. What range.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
We're live on?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
It's Conway?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Can I am forty?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
It's Conway.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Mark Thompson is here. That's always cool. On Tuesdays, you working,
filling in or doing anything?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
This week? Thursday, I think I do an hour because
of the chargers. That'll just be it. It's Thursday night, right, Yeah.
In other words, uh, I think the chargers take up
the balance of the night and then I'll just jump
on from nine to ten. But if so, if you're
if you're keeping track of the Mark Thompson scorecard. That's
where I will be tasday evening. That's cool. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
If you're a big fan of Discovery and Warner Brothers.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
One of the things I love about Discovery is that
they're there right there in the Warner Brothers family, which
I really like. Yes, yes, yes, I really like all
my Warner Brothers pries together like Discovery.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
You can now buy Discovery.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Oh is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I think it's for sale. Let's find out what's going
on here.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
First of all, Warner Brothers Discovery confirming today what we've
been knowing for weeks now, and that is yes, the
entertainment Colossus is indeed for sale. Reportedly, of the board
at Warner Brothers Discovery has already rejected an offer from
Paramount sky Dance, David Ellison's company, but not because they
weren't for sale, but because the offer was too low,
(29:19):
meaning that was a clear signal to Ellison and his
very wealthy.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
This is the new entertainment reporter over there at KTLA,
Charles Nelson Riley.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I think that's what's his name? Is that, David.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Charles Nelson Riley.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
I'm sorry, Charles David, meaning that was a clear signal Lazarus,
meaning that was a clear signal to Ellison and his
very wealthy father Larry Allison to come back with more money. Reportedly,
Warner Brothers Discovery wants about sixty billion dollars for the
whole package.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Sixty billion dollars for what? For the all of Warner
Brothers Cable.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, the whole I think the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
The whole Warner Brothers.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah. I think that has to be all one. I
think it's that. And they actually, of course want to
spin off a lot of these other properties. They're gonna
they'll spin off a lot of the cable property.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Do you see that MTV is gone? They're they're they're
not doing any more videos, and I don't think they're
going to exist that as a station anymore. They what
was that the story?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Bello?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I think I heard that that MTV is MTV is done.
I think they I think they are closing up shop.
Speaker 9 (30:22):
Warner Brothers Discovery wants about sixty billion dollars for the
whole package. At the same time, however, the company warners
that is is proceeding with plans to split the company
into two, but at this point. That looks like a
move to try and speed things up and light a
fire under potential suitors so that this thing doesn't drag out,
because if they do split it up, that really changes
(30:43):
the equation for how to acquire these assets, where if
it's still all together, well that's a different story altogether.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
All right, you're right, of course MTV is gone. Yeah,
they're shutting their up New Year's Eve.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Yeah, shutting down all of its music channels across Europe
New Year's z Oh.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Not here, what I'm well, they don't do music anymore
there now, it's.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Well, they have music channels, but yeah, that's what.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Oh is that you're saying? They have MTV, the multiple mtvs.
The MTV is like pregnant in sixteen and.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
My when it launch eighty one, eighty eighty I think
was the last year of high school and they when
they started that, remember.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
That I want by MTV.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
That was so great, What a time.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
What a great summer that was. Yeah, no, it's it's over.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
But it looks like yeah many yeah, UK fans are
saddened by the ending of MTV stations in their market.
Former MTV VJ Mark Thompson told BBC that they were
very sad about this and in disbelief.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So it's over.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
MTV HD, which is the reality program one that Mark
you were talking about, like Catfish, the Hills and all
that stuff that will remain functional.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Excellent all Right's comedy. Thompson were live on KFIM six.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
A M six forty
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's Conway Show. It's Tuesday. Mark Thompson's in the house.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Everybody please be seated. Oh my gosh, it's so overwhelmed
with the greeting. It really is something.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Did you see the car chase that ended up with
the guy getting hit by a car lin I.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Just saw the end of it. It's a pok choice
from the young man.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Three D houses of poor choices, Yeah, in his life,
and we got to see the last one, you know, Yeah,
when you're running away from the cops. It's a series
of bad choices. And sometimes we get to see the
Dan new mom that's very very well spoken, and you
pointed it out before. I know, he's really quite the
sophisticate these days. I think I recall you repeatedly making
(00:51):
the point that by the time we've seen this moment,
there have been, as you sort of suggest, like this
domino of bad choices that have led to that Moment's right, Yeah,
and we get to see the World Series or the
super Bowl of the bad choices. Man, this guy instantly
becomes a celebrity, and you feel bad for him because
obviously that's not the way he wanted to go out,
(01:12):
or maybe he did.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I don't know, you know, I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Interesting that you say we get to see the World
Series because he will not.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yes, that's right, that's too bad, that's grim, that's really great.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
But you know, you hate to blame the guy that
did it, but I don't know who else to blame.
You know, the guy who hit him. Yeah, you can't
blame that guy, can't blame the cop. No, you have
to only blame the guy who ran out in traffic, right,
But you never know what he's going through.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Well, there's an explanation, always, sure. But I mean, I
just think that you get. I mean, in terms of
who's to blame for him not being around anymore?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Him, it's got to be him.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, Yeah, I've shuffled the dominoes a couple of different ways.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
That always comes up, that guy.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
But here's the problem with local news.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
And again, Mark, I don't have to tell you I
might be the biggest fan of local news in radio
in La. I watched news all day long. I record it.
I'm i know a bunch of the people in local news.
I text them. I know Mark Brown and Colleen Williams
and Fred Rogan and you know you you used to
(02:14):
be in local news, John Beard, all these guys. You know,
I know these guys and they're terrific guys. But the
news is going to eventually go away unless they fix
one big hole that they have in it. Whenever they
show something like last night where that guy was killed,
they showed it live initially and then they wouldn't show
(02:37):
it again. So everybody goes to Twitter and sees it
on five different stations, on KTLA, on k CAL, CBS, NBC,
and you see all the angles of it, and then
then you stay on Twitter or you stay on YouTube
wherever you saw it for a couple hours, and that
takes away from the audience of the news. So it's
(02:57):
a dilemma the news directors have of do you show
it again and run the risk of pissing people at
moms off where the kids see it at home, or
do you not show it and let your whole audience leave.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, and it oftentimes depends on what the it is like.
In this case, when you show it it, I'd argue
I mean, from what I could see, you can't really
see much, you know, I know, I know they didn't
want to show the moment of impact, right, but it
didn't look as though you were going to be able
to see much in the moment of impact. And as
you say, the entire audience on mass goes to other
platforms to find it. There are incidents. In fact, it
(03:32):
was really this incident has a recall. Wasn't there something
over in Hollywood where a guy had a shotgun. He
had a gun and he you know, turned it toward
his head and you know, did himself in. And as
I recall, that was the culmination of a chase or
a standoff or something. And we were live on the
guy and you could see him closely as with a
(03:53):
close up, and all of a sudden he did this
surprisingly and it was like, oh my god, we didn't
want to show that on television. So I think you
could have a reasonable conversation about whether or not you
do want to show that on television. But on this
chase thing, I think you're one hundred percent right. I
there's nothing there that is so gruesome might be the
word i'd use that. Do you have to you know,
(04:14):
cut away.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So yeah, it wasn't that gruesome. The reaction from you know,
like when you're watching it, the reaction is, oh, oh man,
look at that. You know, like it's you know, like
it's not huge. But the reaction of some of these
local anchors is like they've never seen anything like that
before in their lives, which is a little disingenuous.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I should say, Oh you think, yeah, like you're saying, hey,
what did you think?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
They're like, oh my god, oh my god. That is
a little over the.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Top because you're saying, like, as you lay it out
the narrative, that is a possibility.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's just strong possibility. Yeah, exactly, Yeah, it's one of
the top possibilities. Okay, but here's how it sounded last night.
I think this is k COW or Channel two, Channel nine.
I think this is their reaction to it last night.
Chase ended radically where the guy gets hit by a car.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Jah. This pursuit started in the eight o'clock hour by
LAPD Neon Division officers that tried to pull over a
stolen white van south of Downtown LA. The pursuit went
through Downtown LA, got through Chinatown, and jumped onto the
one ten Freeway northbound. Now, it was about Avenue forty
three when that driver decided to jump out of the vehicle.
Let's go to the video that we shot during the pursuit.
(05:29):
That driver coming up to the center divider there couldn't
open the door, so we decided to crawl out the
window as a car was moving, and he fell down
on top of the center divider and tumbled into lanes
of the southbound side of the one ten freeway. Tumbled
into lanes and was struck by two vehicles, struck and
killed unfortunately here at the scene. Now, as we come
(05:51):
back to the scene here, I could tell you that
another part of the video that we shot was of
a dog that was a rescue front the van. That
the van was dry, I mean animal control officers were
able to take that dog into custody and take.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Him away, and take the dog into custody.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
To take that dog into custody.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I think it's protective the charge him.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
With and take him away. The ban has been cleared
in the northbound side of the one tent Freeway is
now open, but the southbound side of the one tent
Freeway remains closed and the CHP is seeing a six
hour SIG alert is in effect at this point. But
the good news is northbound lanes are open at this
point and southbound will open in approximately five to six hours.
(06:30):
That's the latest overhead.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Up in side all right, all right, but you know
you can see it on Twitter and on Facebook. But Angel,
there's another wreck that happened. That's happening going on right
now on the ten freeway. And from what I can see,
maybe I'm wrong here, but is this near the fifteen.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Yeah, it's right out to fifteen on the ten westbound
out the fifteen freeway, all right.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And what's going on. Everything's buttoned up and closed up.
What happened out there?
Speaker 6 (06:58):
So there was an earlier crash and from witnesses who were,
you know, at their shops just on the other side
of the fence along the freeway that saw everything, they
said that this big rig was just hauling down the
freeway and he didn't even stop when all the traffic
ahead of him was had come to a stop. So
(07:20):
that yeah, maybe maybe, I mean, he didn't just full blown,
full on plowed into other trucks and cars, and that
seems to be the culprit of this crash. So as
a result of that, all mainline lanes are blocked at
the fifteen on the ten westbound, and so all travel
(07:40):
is being funneled into the two fast track lanes. And
it's been that way for hours. I think it started
at one thirty this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That's horrible.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
I just looked at the backup and we're still is
just a huge mess backing up out of Fontana getting
away from Sierra Avenue. So you know what to do.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Take the surface.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Streets, that's right, Yeah, I think you can get off.
Where can you get off there where you're not going
to be screwed by this?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Is that Sierra.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Yeah, get off of Sierra. That's where the delays begin.
And then from Sierra you can go north to San
Bernardino Avenue. Take that west that'll become Fourth Street, and
then you can reconnect with the ten westbound around Haven
and the freeway is open at that point. The on
ramps are as well.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
So that's in Fontana basically.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Then, yeah, Sierra's in Fontana. The crash is in Ontario, Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And Speedway out there is that in the same area?
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Yeah, it is out there, and so's the Ontario Airport.
Ontario Airport is just west of the scene of this crash.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Oh, so if you have a plane to catch at
Ontario Airport, you're coming from the east, you're going to
get hosed.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Oh, totally take the sixty if that's the case, because
the sixty westbound is looking really, really good all the
way to the fifteen. After the fifteen it gets a
little crowded, but it's nothing like the ten.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
They would die or get hurt in this thing.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Well and yeah, yes, is the answer. Initial reports first
on ABC seven, Highway Patrol was saying that it was
a quadruple fatal.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
They retracted that, and KTLA came out and said that
it's a triple So a lot of people, a lot
of people with some major injuries as well, and so
far three have passed. God about another five, I believe
maybe six are in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Trying to get around, just trying to get buy in
life and some idiot plows into you. All right, thank you,
Angel Martinez. We'll keep you updated all day long on
that horrific accident. It's the ten west right at the fifteen,
right near the Ontario Airport. So if you're picking somebody
up for the Ontario Airport, or going to the Ontario Airport.
There's going to be a lot of traffic in that area,
(09:49):
tons of it.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
One more thing, the connectors from the fifteen, both directions
to the ten west also shut down.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Man, all right, we'll be on that all day long
with Angel Old Martinez.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It's Conway and Thompson.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Like kind of a bummer to start with, you know,

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Drunk on the action, Tim, all right, drunk on it.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The Raiders playing Kansas City yesterday, they had a total
of three first downs and the Raiders are into eet.
Their best player on the team got the ball once
in the first fifteen plays of that game.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh wow, So they're really you're trying to.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Conserve his energy for maybe next year or the following year,
because they know this year is a wash. This is
it's over, but there are probably still guys out there
giving you know, tips, and you know the tout lines.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I read them all. I read them all, and I'll
tell you that the Raiders were a good bet. Oh
and they use of phraseology. You'll find this a lot.
You'll find the Raiders are a good value. Right at
fourteen and a half or whatever the line was. I
think it was twelve and a half the underdog. There
(12:23):
were a twelve and a half point underdog. So again
for those who are not to degenerates, you start the game,
most people know the deal. Twelve point, Yeah, twelve and
a half points, so that's a lot of points you
can And so the arguments were, you know, this is
an NFL team, the Raiders and Kansas City is due
for a let up game. And you hear all of
these various arguments, and there's value. Again, they love this
(12:44):
said there's value at twelve and a half. And the
reality was the final score was thirty thirty one nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, even close. The Raiders had three first downs. They
had two in the first half and one in the
second half. One first down and.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
You can bet on that too. You can bet on
the number of first downs.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
And by the way, that first down was given to them,
No on the kickoff.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Oh you know, they got.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
The kickoff, they had the first first down, and then
never had one again.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Well, it's interesting to hear that they've kind of packed
up like they're meaning that they're not playing some of.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
The key Well, there has a lot of injuries too. Yeah,
but I will say I noticed that there's a lot
more players on losing teams that are really angry with losing.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
And I have a theory on that.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
And maybe I've told you this before, but if you're
a great if you play in the NFL, you've you've
never been one in five in your life. You had
a great high school team. And if you're playing on
a crappy high school team, your mom and dad changed
high schools for you to put you on a better team.
Then you went, you got you know, you got the
scouted for college and nineteen colleges wanted you, and you
(13:52):
played for Alabama and you never lost, maybe never lost
a game. And now you're in the pros and you're
one in five and you've never been at one in
five and you don't know how to handle it.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It drives you crazy, especially when.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
You see idiots you know online or on ESPN telling
you how horrible you are.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, this is interesting. Always you're you're so right. I mean, obviously,
somebody who's excelling at the level they're going to be
going into the NFL. They're used to being stars in
high school, stars in college, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
They all were.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, exactly, there was not an average guy in the bunch.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Better for your career if you're one of these athletes
to be a great player on a crap team and
a great player on a team of other great players.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I think all of these guys desired to hold that
trophy and to win the last game of the season.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So you want to be surrounded by others.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I think you want.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I think the goal, especially in hockey, is to win
the last game of the season, and the only way
to win the Cup is to win the last game
of the season. If you don't do that, then, you know,
then you feel like you failed.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Well. I think also the chance to be your best
is usually enhanced by being around other great players. Right, So,
I mean, you have an organization and players who are
all really good or for the most part, really good,
your chances of excelling are much much better.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
But here's the thing, though, if you are, chances are,
if you're a good player coming out of college, you're
going to a bad team.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
You're going to have to excel and show how good
you are so you could get the big contract from
the good team so that they can see you as
the difference maker to put them over the top, to
make them a favorite.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
But every one of these guys who plays in the NFL,
they were always the first or second best guy on
any team they played for.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Oh for sure.
Speaker 9 (15:42):
All of that.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
I agree with your theory one hundred percent if you
are accustomed to winning, especially say, if you're in a
town like you were talking about people on ESPN. If
you're in a town like like say Nashville, and you're
not doing well, then anytime you go out after the
game to a bar or a restaurant to buy fans
who either don't want to talk to you sure or
are giving you pointers on what to do to get
(16:05):
better instead of celebrating you like you would be celebrated
if you were.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
In a team that was on a team that was winning.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Right, But that only takes place in small markets. Like
if you play for the Rams and you go to
I don't know, you go to Morton Steakhouse for dinner,
ninety nine percent of the people that restaurant have no
idea who you are. Absolutely, But if you play in
right in Nashville, where you play in Green Bay, and
you go to a restaurant, everybody in that restaurant knows
who you are. Everybody you know, and it's weird, like
(16:35):
you know, when small markets are that way. There's a
friend of mine, a guy named Lars Larson. He's a
radio host up in Northwest. He does conservative radio. He's
very good at what he does, and I've become friends
with him over the years. We went to dinner, like
I don't know, eight, nine, ten years ago, and we
went to a place in Portland called Roots Chris Steakhouse.
(16:56):
Here to them, Yeah, they cook everything in butter.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I enjoy butter.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
So we went into the restaurant and he couldn't buy
himself a drink or a meal.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Thirty people in that restaurant.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
It's Lars laws no let me buy no, no, let
me buy no, no, No, I'm buying you large.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You're the best.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
You know, but you go to a restaurant here in
LA and you know, and you're a celebrity or an athlete, nobody.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Knows who you are.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
No, No, it's really true.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
It's amazing. You can really hide here in LA, but
you know there. But there are some athletes that didn't
really excel until they got to the pros, and Oral
Herscheizer is one of them. Oral Herscheizer was thrown off
his high school team because he was a crappy pitcher.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
And he was also benched in college because he was
a crappy pitcher. And then when he got to the Pros,
he wasn't that great. And then Tommy Lasorda said, you're
gonna be the bulldog. You're going to change your attitude
and really pitch like like you're angry as hell all
the time, and go out there and destroy these guys
every time you get on that mound.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
And he did. And it was because of Tommy Lesorta.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
And I know that because I went to college the
same college that Oral Herscheizer did, and he has no
great stats in college.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
He didn't knock it out from college at all.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I didn't know that story that, but in the in
the pros, I think he had what fifty nine?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Hey, is that the Kate's Kate?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Oh, I think Kate's uh, will Tell will straighten me
out on this. I think he had fifty eight or
fifty nine scoreless innings.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oral Hrschey's always I'm incredibly dominating, one.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Of the best pictures in the world. Yeah, but didn't
have a great high school or really rose to the
moment in the world series with the Dodgers. Mean, my god, man,
what a great guy. I love that guy. Him doing
car commercials. That's right, he's the best. Oral Hershey over
fifty nine, fifty nine, fifty nine two thirds?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I think is I lived for those commercials.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I love that guy, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Connaway and Thompson were lying, oh, is that Kate's out there? Yeah,
but it is always he working ice work.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Krozer, yeah, I know, I know, but I'd like Kate's
He'll had more information, all right. You know, Krozer is
a numbers guy. Kate's is a you know, his personality.
What happened on the way to the number?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I see?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Okay, all right, we're live on k We'll get them
for you, Yeah, we will. We will all right, re
live on CAF I know where the Crozier.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
KIM six forty. It's Conway Show. Mark Thompson is here.
Dang dong with you, dude. There's I saw this study
the other day or maybe yesterday that the lowest level
of production in the history of Los Angeles is happening
right now.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I feel it. I mean, I think this is what's
happened in Los Angeles and it hasn't been something that's
happened overnight. I mean, it's pretty slow process. In COVID
of course knocked out a lot, but even before COVID,
the drain was real and people were production companies, studios
were seeking production elsewhere because there's just so many economic
(19:56):
incentives overseas. Canada, Canada started, I think, Australia was really good,
and Atlanta other states with all of these incentives that
California just hasn't been able to compete with. Now we
even as we've stepped up, we're late to the party
and maybe it's not enough. And Hollywood just feels hollowed out.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Really it does.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, and it has effect on everybody, you know, not
just people in the industry, right, you know, people own stores,
you know, car dealerships, everybody where those checks were to
go are gone. You know, there's less production in Hollywood
right now than during the actors strike. Wow, how about that?
That's extra and the writers strike. Yeah, less production now
(20:33):
than during the strikes. And I don't know what the
answer is. You know, I don't know how it happened,
and I don't know what the answer is. But they've
got to get that together or else this part of
California is going to look like a you know, a desert,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
I mean, it's a whole economy, as you say, it's
all these other interlocking businesses.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yeah, they always use this.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I don't know why they always use you know, when
these guys aren't working, it affects your local cleaners, right,
you know, like like people outside of High Hollywood don't
know what a cleaners is, right, you know that they're
the only ones that use cleaners.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I told you, I just tell you. This is that
digression and then we'll get back to that story. But
when I moved into the valley, which I really love,
I was just saying the last night. I love the
location in so many ways. We got a cleaner's in.
They're really close by and they come to the house.
They'll deliver the pick up and deliver right. And it's
a pretty expensive cleaners. And I always am giving Courtney
a hard time because she gets a lot of stuff cleaned.
(21:28):
I'm just saying the monthly bill is pretty high. But
he is super friendly, this guy. But he writes and says,
my last name Thomas, and my last name is Thompson
T O M A. S. He's written since the very
beginning and now he's so friendly and so full of life.
(21:49):
I wouldn't ever and there's no reason to correct him,
but he is. When I see the stuff, well, you know,
he's all these questions about how we're doing, and all
these persons. We've shared all of this, you know, through
the year, through the years, through COVID, through all the
grief and losses, him having to put animals down, and
we exchange it that his his brother was sick brother.
We know everything about him. Yet he thinks our last
name is Thomas, and it's just great when I see
(22:13):
it there on the bag Thomas. So he is one
of the cleaners affected by all of this.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I go to a cleaner's in Burbank and I was
there a couple of months ago, and there's a couple
of guys in line in front of me, and I'm
not hurry, so I'm just looking at all the you know,
celebrities pictures on the wall. And I finally get up
to the front of the line. I go wow, I said,
do all these guys come here? And he goes, no, no, no,
the owner bought all those pictures on eBay.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah, I said, so you're lying to everybody technically.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
And then I pointed to a picture of one of
your buddies, Frank Bruce Buckley on KTLA. His pictures in
that cleaner Uh huh, And I said, oh, has this
guy come in here?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
And he goes, no, that guy died, so.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
He's really up to speed on everything. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I think he got him mixed up with Sam.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Another guy was Sam Rubenter. Yeah yeah right, And.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I said he really died. He goes, yeah, yeah, he
died a couple months ago.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Oh wow. Well, yeah, that's good. I'm glad you didn't
correct him. That's good, I.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Said, I wonder what shortcuts he's using on my shirts
if he's also you know, bsing everybody on the on
the piture.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I mean, information isn't his thing. Cleaning your shirts is
his thing.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
My dad loved the guy at the corner of his
He still live on Haskell and Ventura, and the guy
on the corner was the greatest guy ever because he
went to the racetrack. He was the guy who owned
the cleaners, but also went to the racetrack. So my
dad would be down there all the time. And I'm
the guy I live with my dad, and one of
my chores growing up was I was in charge of
(23:44):
taking his clothes to the laundry or the cleaners and
picking him up. And I'd always take his clothes down there,
and you know, the guy would say, give me a slip,
and you know, a week ready, They'll be ready in
a week. And they always came back and they always
smelled like cigarettes, because the guy who owned the cleaners
inside the cleaners.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
And I said, I.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Said, oh man, I said, Dad, you know all your
clothes now smell like cigarettes.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
And he said yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
But once in a while, that guy's got a tip
at San Anita. And I liked that so, oh man,
that's a trade off. And you know, my grandfather, my
dad's mom was a professional seamstress. She could reupholster a
couch where it could sit in Macy's and people like, wow,
that's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I mean, it was perfect.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You know, it's a very difficult job to do to
reupholster an entire couch. But she made all her cloning clothes,
made all the drapes in the house, reappolstered the furniture.
She was beautiful, one of the best seamstress I think
in all of Ohio. And so my dad picked that
up as a kid. And my dad as he got older,
you know, when he got you know, he was slowing
down in work and wanted to spend more time at home.
(24:52):
He would he bought a beautiful sewing machine and he'd
make his own sports codes.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
What that's true, true story.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
So I would take his sports I took him down
to the cleaners. The guy said, I'll be done a week, fine,
And and a week later he had he gave him
back to me on a hangar, but no plastic over
him and a note on him. And I said, what
is this And he said, oh, he goes these must
have been prop clothes from the Carabernet show. They're so
poorly made. I can't put him on our machine.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh my.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
And I didn't have the balls to tell my dad
that it's not right, so I just put the plastic
over from another one over him.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I'm like, hey, they're beautiful, they're all clean.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Oh wow, But he said they're so poorly made they
don't fit on any of our machines.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
It's a great story. And you're such a good son
that you didn't. I didn't want to tell him. Yeah,
you know, I didn't want to tell him. I you know,
he's not He probably would have thought it was funny
and you used it in his act. But but I
didn't want to break his heart, you know, because he
worked so hard on those Sure, sure he was constantly.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Look when I was fifteen, I'd come home at like
two o'clock in the morning buzz from going to a party,
and my dad would have been a sewing machine making
you know, like his own pants and his own What.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Other major stars would be making their own clothes. I
don't thin get any of them, even if if the
job isn't like you know, uh, triple a great I mean,
just to be there and even be able to know
how to begin that process.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I remember coming home one night and my dad had
a plunger and a snake and a toilet had backed up,
and he's plunging a toilet and a snake. He's trying
to get this thing, you know, going again. And I
opened the door and I see him there. He's sweating.
There's crap all over the place, and I said, I said,
how's it going.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
He goes.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
You think Bob Hope's doing this.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
You think exactly right. Frank Sinatra's knee deep in this. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
But he's a blue He was a blue collar guy
until the end. And that's so he was always friends
with the guy who is the lighting guy or the
wardrobe guy or you know, the prop guy. He was
never really you know, those are the guys he related to.
Guys went to the track, smokes cigarettes and drank.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah. That's really good. That special rights when Thompson.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
We still have that closure on the ten westbound near
the fifteen that's gonna be closed for some time. So
if you can avoid that area, please get off the
freeway and take side streets. That's an angel's tip whenever
she wins a Golden Mic. It's always ten's busy take
side streets. When you when you submit this for or
(27:22):
not this one, but in the past when you submitted,
you know, Golden Mic Audio reports. Which one did? What
did you win for? Did you win foural fives? Busy
take side Streets?
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Yes, that was the first one that I was awarded,
the four five takes side streets.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
And then you want to you want another one?
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Yeah, I did, I won. There was one in the
downtown area, ten eastbound. It was ten eastbound crash take
surface streets.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Oh I remember that?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, services, Wow, that's impression from the four. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
And then a subtle a shot to the gut. What range.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
We're live on?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
It's Conway?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Can I am forty?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
It's Conway.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Mark Thompson is here. That's always cool. On Tuesdays, you working,
filling in or doing anything?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
This week? Thursday, I think I do an hour because
of the chargers. That'll just be it. It's Thursday night, right, Yeah.
In other words, uh, I think the chargers take up
the balance of the night and then I'll just jump
on from nine to ten. But if so, if you're
if you're keeping track of the Mark Thompson scorecard. That's
where I will be tasday evening. That's cool. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
If you're a big fan of Discovery and Warner Brothers.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
One of the things I love about Discovery is that
they're there right there in the Warner Brothers family, which
I really like. Yes, yes, yes, I really like all
my Warner Brothers pries together like Discovery.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
You can now buy Discovery.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Oh is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I think it's for sale. Let's find out what's going
on here.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
First of all, Warner Brothers Discovery confirming today what we've
been knowing for weeks now, and that is yes, the
entertainment Colossus is indeed for sale. Reportedly, of the board
at Warner Brothers Discovery has already rejected an offer from
Paramount sky Dance, David Ellison's company, but not because they
weren't for sale, but because the offer was too low,
(29:19):
meaning that was a clear signal to Ellison and his
very wealthy.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
This is the new entertainment reporter over there at KTLA,
Charles Nelson Riley.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I think that's what's his name? Is that, David.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Charles Nelson Riley.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
I'm sorry, Charles David, meaning that was a clear signal Lazarus,
meaning that was a clear signal to Ellison and his
very wealthy father Larry Allison to come back with more money. Reportedly,
Warner Brothers Discovery wants about sixty billion dollars for the
whole package.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Sixty billion dollars for what? For the all of Warner
Brothers Cable.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, the whole I think the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
The whole Warner Brothers.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah. I think that has to be all one. I
think it's that. And they actually, of course want to
spin off a lot of these other properties. They're gonna
they'll spin off a lot of the cable property.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Do you see that MTV is gone? They're they're they're
not doing any more videos, and I don't think they're
going to exist that as a station anymore. They what
was that the story?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Bello?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I think I heard that that MTV is MTV is done.
I think they I think they are closing up shop.
Speaker 9 (30:22):
Warner Brothers Discovery wants about sixty billion dollars for the
whole package. At the same time, however, the company warners
that is is proceeding with plans to split the company
into two, but at this point. That looks like a
move to try and speed things up and light a
fire under potential suitors so that this thing doesn't drag out,
