Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF I am sixty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You know,
it's a big story in Arizona. When Chip Yo's from KTLA,
they send him out to Arizona to cover the story
with the Savannah and her family, the Guthrie Nancy Guthrie story.
(00:20):
We'll have the latest on that. We have any news,
we'll have that for you immediately. But speaking of old
people driving, we just said the segment on you know,
when do you take the keys away from mom or dad?
This might be a good example. In Westwood. They're still
obviously doing an investigation and see what happened here, but
(00:41):
three people who are just going about their day in Westwood,
right there on Westwood near Ohio. I used to live
right there. I used to live right on Westwood in Ohio.
I would have heard that crash or may have been
involved in that crash. I used to live right on
the corner of Allio at one block west south of
(01:05):
I guess be west one block west of Westwood on Ohio,
and that's almost exactly where this crash happened.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Happened in Rochester and Westwood.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
A woman crashing right through the front door of an
Asian market called ninety nine Ranch. It happened shortly after
noon this afternoon. You can see the car remains inside
of the supermarket. During this crash, we understand there were
a total of three fatalities as of this hour, two
other very serious injuries transported to the hospital, two others
(01:36):
less serious, and two others who were able to walk
away from the scene. A total of nine patients. As
far as we're hearing right now, you can see this
entire intersection cordoned off here. A major investigation underway. And
again this is just south of Wilshire Boulevard as this
portion of Westwood is completely shut down.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Just a horrific aftermath.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
And they had what looked like hundreds of first responders.
I think it was like twenty ambulances out there, fire trucks, cops, sheriff, LAPD,
everybody who's out there. It looked like a massive, massive
response to this accident here.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
In westwo Reporting live from Air seven.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I'm Chris Christy, ABC seven.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I just knew this was a horrible accident.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
And again it's almost surreal seeing that vehicle literally inside
of the market.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
You see it right there.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
That's the vehicle that's smacked into the market, ramming that
vehicle inside of the market where people, according to fire officials,
were seated having lunch, and this happened.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
This was just a horrible tragedy.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And I've been saying this for well almost thirty years
on the air. Why aren't all of those businesses protected
by those cement or steel ballads or whatever they're called,
those piles of steel and sment that they have around
Crypto dot Com, around Sofi Stadium, so nobody can drive
(03:01):
a truck in there and explode, you know, a truck
full of explosives. And they should be in front of
all these businesses, especially on corners, a corner business that
has that kind of exposure where there's nothing. There's no posts,
no poles, no light posts, nothing between the front of
that market and the corner of Rochester and Westwood.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Nothing.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Shock and tears from residents who live in the area,
horrified hearing the sonic boom sounding off when a vehicles
smacked into Ranch Market just after the noon hour.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
A horrible noise that gave me chills.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
People died the crash, leaving three dead, several victims with
serious injuries and others traumatiz with bumps and bruises, and the.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
People eating lunch are are directly inside of that corner.
There's cars going fifty sixty miles an hour on that
street and you're eating lunch without any protection around you
on the corner. That's crazy, unbelievable that people felt secure
enough to sit there and have coffee and talk with
(04:05):
their friends or neighbors with cars whizzing by right outside
at fifty miles an hour and sometimes sixty on that street,
with these kids driving around.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
I heard this man left trembling after hearing the crash
and running to the scene witnessing chaos and death.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I heard a bunch of people are gathering around and
police coming out and well, yeah, it's tragedy.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Vehicle had struck a bicyclist.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
La Citi Fire captain.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
You know what, vehicle had struck a bicyclist.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
First time I've ever heard that by syclist. Maybe somebody's
ever read that term before, druck a bicyclist, or maybe
you know what, I'm going to give him the benefit
of doubt. I think all of you idiots have been
calling it a bicycle your whole lives, and I think proba,
I think he's right. Uh uh, what do you called
bicyclists bicyclist? Yeah, I think in the in the strictest
(04:58):
definition of the term, I think he's that's right. I
think you guys are wrong.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
La Citi Fire captain Eric Scott saying the deadly crash
unfolding after an elderly driver in her seventies.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
There are a lot of elderly drivers in Westwood. Westwood
is one of the older communities in southern California, and
people who own a home in Westwood, some of them
are still driving in their eighties and nineties because they've
had that home in their family for maybe generations or
at least, you know, sixty seventy years. And there are
(05:34):
a lot of people up in the hills near Ucla,
So it's a bad combination. It's a combination of elderly
drivers in that area and college kids who are on
their phones or have their you know, headphones on and
are not watching when they cross the street. I'm not
saying this happened in this case, but in Westwood, it's
(05:55):
a recipe for disaster. Young kids on their phones, not
paying attention and elderly drivers is not a great combination.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Colliding with a bicyclist near Westwood and Rochester. The driver
then apparently lost control of the vehicle, ramming into the market,
hitting multiple people and again leaving three dead.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
There are multiple patrons that were inside, they're seating in
table areas and as of now, we have a total
of nine patients.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Tragically, three of those.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Individuals were beyond any medical help despite our best intentions
and our best efforts, they were determined dead on scene.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
That is a lot of death for an accident like this,
it's usually zero, maybe one, but three people this is horrible.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
And it is an eerie site seeing that vehicle inside
of the Ranch Market, knowing why it's there, and the
unfolding tragedy in the aftermath, and nine patients involved in
this accident. We have confirmations on the ages and the
gender of the deceased victims, and this was given to
(06:59):
us by the fire department. A forty two year old
female dead, fifty five year old male dead, thirty year
old man dead.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And of course these are young people. These are young
people at their whole lives in front of them. Thirties
forties and fifties and eating in a market there with
cars going fifty miles an hour right outside the glass.
It wasn't even a wall, it's just glass out there.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
A forty two year old female dead.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Forty two year old female whole life in.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Front of her, fifty five year old.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Male, another fifty five year old.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Male, thirty year old man, had.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
A thirty year old guy sitting there just going about
their lives, and it's over dead.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
And of course there were multiple multiple injuries. Now, as
for the bicyclist, authorities tell us that the bicyclist was
rattled and bruised. We do not know the extent of
his injuries, but that person was not killed in this
horrible tragedy, and of course people just injured in a
(08:03):
lot of folks in the community in an absolute state
of shock.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You know, I don't know the person driving, but seventy
seven and flying into a store like that, I didn't
see any break marks or break you know, I guess
skid marks outside of that. So that means they probably
mistook the gas for the break And that's the first
(08:28):
sign of you got to take the keys away, because
those are two very distinctly different pedals, and when mom
and Dad can't figure out which is which Keith are
going away?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
All right, we'll keep up on that.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I hope nobody else obviously, everybody hopes that nobody else
passes away from this. But there are some very serious
injuries as well, and that area is going to be
closed for quite some time. So if you travel on
Western Boulevard between Wiltshire and Santa Monica, that's gonna be
closed for a long long time.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Maya from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Oh, we've got the Big Game coming up this weekend, so.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
If you're going to a party or wherever you're going,
it's gonna be huge. I think the publicity, you know,
machine with the Super Bowl or with the Big Game
isn't what it used to be. I don't know why.
I don't hear anybody really talking about it. Belly, where
are you going for the Super Bowl? You always have
something cool going on. You get a bunch of those
(09:34):
Costco chickens and off to I don't know, Corona or something.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
We are staying in really, yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Just having snacks at home, just havings Okay, on.
Speaker 10 (09:49):
A day like this, you don't get like in the
apron and cook them up some little finger foods and
things like that for him, less I said, and watch
this again?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, do you stay in the kitchen and cook while
he watches again?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Well?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's where you should be writing.
Dang right, yeah, all right. Snacks.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Prices are going up for snacks for Super Bowl, the most.
Speaker 11 (10:08):
Popular snacks, saying they are going to be lowering prices
up to nearly fifteen percent.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
PepsiCo, who makes you know this is where you see
all the big potato chip displays. If you go into
any store, you know there's that million bags of chips.
It says super Bowl, and you know you got to
go up front. You got to grab those bags and
take off at the.
Speaker 11 (10:26):
Chips, Lazed Potato Chips, Doritos, and Cheetos. Says that they
heard from customers who are feeling the impact of rising
prices across the board on groceries.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Wait, wait, wait a minute, wait.
Speaker 11 (10:38):
What says that they heard from customers.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Who are feed customers are calling saying that the Cheetos
are too expensive.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
That's what kind of time you have and it's only
doing it over like the last year.
Speaker 10 (10:49):
Feedback emails to that right calls Yeah, like it's the
first time that people have complained about the rising costs
of snacks.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Jen, I'm writing a letter. Why is that the lotos
they're up forty cents?
Speaker 11 (11:05):
Says that they heard from customers who are feeling the
impact of rising prices across the board on groceries, so
they've also added the new suggested retail prices begin rolling
out in the United States this week. And because retailers, it.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Seems like, I don't know anyone who's ever paid full
price for a bag of chips. It's always says seven
ninety nine on the bag, and then you look down
and it say, oh, it's a two for three dollars.
It's always the best deal in town. Two ninety nine
for a big ass bag of chips.
Speaker 11 (11:34):
And because retailers ultimately set their own retail prices, shoppers
may see even greater savings depending on the store. Now,
this follows a Wells Fargo study saying a Super Bowl
party this year will cost one hundred and forty dollars
and Robin, that's up.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Wait, the party is one hundred and forty dollars. Where
are you getting away with that? One hundred and forty
dollars to fifty people?
Speaker 11 (11:56):
Over party this year will cost one hundred and forty dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Well, maybe one brings something? Well, ya, when you go
to a christ like a Christmas party or I don't know,
Thanksgiving or a super Bowl party, do you always bring something?
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (12:09):
I think when you're invited somewhere you should bring.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, I always always do, and people even make fun
of me, you know, but I'm going to.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
A party having manners Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
For like, I brought a pizza once when they're like,
why are you bring a pizza?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
You know, really, who are these people?
Speaker 9 (12:28):
It's the thought that counts.
Speaker 10 (12:30):
You come in with a pizza and people are gonna
go ew.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, I get it. I get it.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Was that it was an expensive party and I brought
it in like a low end pizza, like a little season.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
A frozen pizza and a cook at their house.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Pizza still frozen. Hey, some of these frozen pizzas are
pretty good. They are Angel and Robin.
Speaker 11 (12:51):
That's up a few bucks from last year, just.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
A few bucks there.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
But how did the price cuts on snacks.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Reflect she takes her mind the dominoes and then complains
about my frozen pizza. That's great, that's classic.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Mom gets dominoes.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
Her choice, Okay, her choice.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Does she know there's other joints available on birthdays? Does
she get a discount? Do they offer like a birthday discount?
Do you take your mom around? Try to get the
birthday get discounts? Thirty one The overall state of grocery
prices and inflation.
Speaker 11 (13:30):
Yeah, it's a mixed bag when it comes to inflation
and groceries. Sorry for the pun, but we're going to
extend that out to show you by example, using this
plate of nachos made for us by the folks here
at Splash Sports Bar in San Francisco that ares housing
us all all week. So let's we've got our reduced
cost chips on the bottom, and then we're.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Gonna bet those are good, right, the reduced cost chips.
Speaker 11 (13:54):
We've got our reduced cost chips on the bottom.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
What a great name for them.
Speaker 11 (13:58):
And then we're going to throw some round beef on top.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
That's up fifty sounds great.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Hey, you guys want any more of those reduced chips?
Speaker 11 (14:06):
We've got our reduced cost chips on the bottom.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Hey, have there any more of those reduced cost chips?
Those are pretty good.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
And then we're gonna throw some ground beef on top.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
That's does that reduced cost ground beef too? I'd stay
away from that. You don't want he never ever want
to buy reduced cost meat. Ever, there's a reason it's
four cents a pound.
Speaker 11 (14:28):
And then we're gonna throw some ground beef on top.
That's up fifteen and a half percent. Who then we're
gonna put some salta on tomatoes down about three percent,
and vegetable price is roughly flat. Then we've got cheese,
which is down one point six percent. But if you
want a beverage with that, well, beer is up one
point three percent, Spirits are up one point eight percent,
(14:52):
and if you have a few too many of them, Why.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Are we even mentioning such close calls? Where beer's up
one percent one percent? So an eighteen pack that cost
you eighteen dollars is up what eighteen cents one percent?
And we're still mentioning that cheese up one percent? A
(15:17):
bag of four dollar cheese will cost you four more cents.
Why are we even mentioning that's it almost seems like
in the ballpark of zero.
Speaker 11 (15:28):
Few too many of those. Well, then their breakfast the
morning after, you might need an extra cup of coffee,
and coffee is up nineteen point eight percent, with eggs though,
down twenty point nine percent.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
So yeah, I was at Walmart the other day, not bragging,
you know, I made a couple of bucks. I cand
slide into Walmart every once in a while. Eggs a
dollar fourteen a dozen, a dollar fourteen for a dozen eggs,
and nobody's talking about that. Everybody talks about when they
go to nine dollars a dozen, and then when they
(16:00):
go back to a dollar nobody mentions it. It was
a dollar fourteen for a dozen eggs. I mean, you
had to buy seven hundred of them, but twelve will
cost you a dollar fourteen.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
That is a sweet dam You're listening to Tim Conway

Speaker 1 (22:13):
When I was a kid, my dad would take me
to the racetrack and that's where I learned math and
happened to be pretty good at math. I learned because
everything of the track is math. The jocks weight, the
horse's weight, the horses height, the furlongs, the times, the
exact trifecta, superfecta, super fine.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
It's all math. All of it payouts.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And if you don't know math, it's very difficult to
hang at the racetrack. So my dad would take me
out there, and he thought that was a better place
for me to learn math than missus Bernstein's class.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
And he was right, he was right.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
And I remember I was probably about seven or eight
years old, and I heard I was watching a race
at Sannita and two horses separate from the pack. There
was ten horses in the race, and the seven and
the three were way ahead of everybody else, and the
seven and three were neck and neck.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
And with every.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
I guess, every second or every every you know, length,
every every move, there was another head bob. And it
was the seven, then the three, then the three, then
the seven, seven three three seven, And with every head bob,
there's a new leader, a new leader. And I heard
an old guy in the grand stand stand up and
(23:32):
yell out, we got a dig dog with the horses,
you know, ding dog with seven three three seven seven
three dig dong, dig dong, And so that's what that's
in reference to ding dong. Now cut to about forty
years later. We were reading a story on the air
(23:55):
that had to do with this couple in San Diego
and the guy had killed his wife. I'm like, oh,
what an a hole?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
You know?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Guy killed his wife and.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Then found out she had stolen all the family's money
and I spent it on I don't know, on gambling
or somehow lost it bad investments, whatever, So he didn't know,
but she lost all their money. They were very wealthy.
Now they're dead broke, like, oh man, she's an ahole.
And I found out he was sleeping with her sister.
(24:26):
Oh now it's back to him. He's an a hole.
And then I found out that she I had a
kid and said it was the guys, but it never
was the guys. It was her boyfriend's. I'm like, oh,
now she's an a hole. And I couldn't figure out
who the bigger a hole was, so I said, oh man,
that's a ding dong. And I only said it once,
(24:47):
and I would have never said it again unless Matt
money Smith. He called me up after I said it,
and he says, buddy, I was on the six Oh
five Freeway, and when you yelled out ding dong after
trying to figure out this crazy couple, he said, I
almost drove off the freeway, laughing my ass off. And
I said, Okay, if a veteran like Matt money Smith
(25:10):
gives you that diamond, that piece of gold, you gotta
take it. And that was the beginning of dig Dog.
And that's how it happened. Now there's been some embarrassing
dings and dogs in my past. I was at Low's
(25:30):
and a guy who works for Low's was standing there
and I walked in and he looks at me. I'm
probably about twenty yards from him, and he looks at me.
He goes, ding do And I look at him and
I go, hey, dig dong and he looks at me.
He says what I say, I give you a ding dong?
You gave me one? He said, no, no, no. I was
(25:51):
saying hi to the guy behind you, saying hey, Ron,
oh my god. Pretty embarrassing, embarrassing, but it's taken off
and it's been I don't know more than ten years,
I think. And when I see people at the racetrack
or at Low's or home depot or Walmart, all my
(26:14):
favorite stores Costco, and I run into somebody and they
either recognize the voice or a picture. Now that there's
social media, they always yell out ding dong. And it's
a real great icebreaker to meet people who listen to
the show. And this happened in a restaurant about three
(26:34):
months ago. I was having a lunch with a friend
of mine that named George McGrath, who's a one of
the funniest men I've ever met in my life. He's
a writer, he wrote all the Peewee Herman movies and
just a really funny dude, A great improv actor, a
great writer, and just one of the funniest, naturally funniest
guys I've ever met in my life. And while we're
(26:55):
having lunch at Patty's, a guy came up and said
dig doll, and I go. I stood up and shook
his hand.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Hey, how you doing.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Nice to see him, and he said he listens to
the show. And he said, hey, can I get a
picture with you? And I took a picture with my camera.
He didn't have his phone on him. I took a
picture with my camera and I said, I'll just send
it to you. What's your cell number? And he gave
me a cell number, and I gave him mine and
I send him the picture. And then I sit down
and George's you get people your cell phone over. You
(27:26):
don't met that guy, And I said, well, I'm glad
you mentioned that. For twenty years since I've had a
cell phone, if I run into somebody at the track
or at Disneyland or whatever and they want to get
a picture and they want me to send it to him,
I always give my cell number. And in the twenty
years that I've been giving total strangers my cell phone,
(27:48):
never met the guy in my life, never met the
girl in my life. Not a single person has abused that.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Not one.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Not one person has done anything appropriate or given it
out out or gone crazier, done anything. Not one person
in twenty years. And that is a true testament to
how great the listeners are at KFI. Smart, respectful, good laughers,
(28:16):
genuinely funny people, positive people. The people who listen to
KFI are amongst the greatest people in the world. And
I worked for another station where it was missed when
you meet somebody, you know, when you meet somebody. When
I met somebody from Kala Sex, it usually meant they
had no car insurance. Sorry, but the people who work
(28:37):
here and the people are sorry. The people who listen
to KFI are awesome. I've had nothing but great experience
with every single one of them. I can't remember one
bad experience. Okay, I remember one. I remember one bad
experience with a listener at KFI. I was at Santa
Anita got almighty.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
A lot of stories start that.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Way, and this woman came up and she was drunk,
probably for about nine hours. She's probably into her tenth
hour of being wildly buzzed or drunk.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
And she's hay ding dong. I'm like, oh, ding dong,
ding dong, and she just gotta take a picture of that.
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure sure.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
And she had one of those huge drinks, like those
comedy style drinks, those yards stick.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yeah they had in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah, e when you go to Vegas, you get a
yard of beer, you know, and then and that's not
a that's not rock bottom for you. You're walking around and
you have a yard, you have three feet of beer
on you, and that's not a problem.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
People are like just like, oh, that guy's great. He
drinks a lot, but his eye's.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Fun he has three feet of beer on him. That's
not a problem. I would never do that. So I
don't know what what the drink was. It was a
mixed drink and there was a lot of it, and
she I put her up, my arm around her. She
put her around me, and she spilled the entire drink
down my back. Oh, the entire And it was in
the middle of winter. It was cold as hell, and
(30:00):
the entire drink, it didn't stop. They all went down
my jacket and then his shirt and my pants.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
It got in belly.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I know you're saying that, like you're you know, you're
you're well, was me, but those ice cubes got into
my underpants.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
Oh no, oh, you were raw dog in.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
It that I was not raw dog and a hot
dog and her free ball and whatever you whatever you
and John call it. I was not doing that that day.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
It was the worst.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
I had to drive home and I smelled like whiskey
and my I got home, my wife's like, hey, why
do you smell like cheaper fume and whiskey. I'm like,
goss at Santanita. She goes, no, that's not sant Anita smell. Yeah,
you were at a strip bar. I'm like, no, I
wasn't a strip bar. I was at this this woman
poured a drink you know, down my back and she
was wearing cheap perfume.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Can you do?
Speaker 10 (30:47):
You know?
Speaker 2 (30:49):
But that was the only rough incident.
Speaker 9 (30:52):
How did you react to her when that happened?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I was swearing. I started swearing. I started using curse
words and her name because she had told me your name.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I came up with the ass. I think I went
with the big one. I went nuts, the big one.
I went nut.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, I lost it. I'm not I'm not happy about
my reaction to that. I really really lost it. No,
not at all day, not at all. I felt horrible
driving home, like she's going to tell nine hundred people
that story. I don't even think I spilled anything. And
the guy called me the big you know, but on
(31:28):
and on you being on a wild day at the
track and I lost So that might have added to
the explosion on the grig. Lady all right, We're live
on KFI AM six forty Conway show on demand on.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
The iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Now you can always hear us live on KFI AM
six forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday. And
anytime on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
It's KMF I am sixty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You know,
it's a big story in Arizona. When Chip Yo's from KTLA,
they send him out to Arizona to cover the story
with the Savannah and her family, the Guthrie Nancy Guthrie story.
(00:20):
We'll have the latest on that. We have any news,
we'll have that for you immediately. But speaking of old
people driving, we just said the segment on you know,
when do you take the keys away from mom or dad?
This might be a good example. In Westwood. They're still
obviously doing an investigation and see what happened here, but
(00:41):
three people who are just going about their day in Westwood,
right there on Westwood near Ohio. I used to live
right there. I used to live right on Westwood in Ohio.
I would have heard that crash or may have been
involved in that crash. I used to live right on
the corner of Allio at one block west south of
(01:05):
I guess be west one block west of Westwood on Ohio,
and that's almost exactly where this crash happened.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Happened in Rochester and Westwood.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
A woman crashing right through the front door of an
Asian market called ninety nine Ranch. It happened shortly after
noon this afternoon. You can see the car remains inside
of the supermarket. During this crash, we understand there were
a total of three fatalities as of this hour, two
other very serious injuries transported to the hospital, two others
(01:36):
less serious, and two others who were able to walk
away from the scene. A total of nine patients. As
far as we're hearing right now, you can see this
entire intersection cordoned off here. A major investigation underway. And
again this is just south of Wilshire Boulevard as this
portion of Westwood is completely shut down.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Just a horrific aftermath.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
And they had what looked like hundreds of first responders.
I think it was like twenty ambulances out there, fire trucks, cops, sheriff, LAPD,
everybody who's out there. It looked like a massive, massive
response to this accident here.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
In westwo Reporting live from Air seven.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I'm Chris Christy, ABC seven.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I just knew this was a horrible accident.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
And again it's almost surreal seeing that vehicle literally inside
of the market.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
You see it right there.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
That's the vehicle that's smacked into the market, ramming that
vehicle inside of the market where people, according to fire officials,
were seated having lunch, and this happened.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
This was just a horrible tragedy.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And I've been saying this for well almost thirty years
on the air. Why aren't all of those businesses protected
by those cement or steel ballads or whatever they're called,
those piles of steel and sment that they have around
Crypto dot Com, around Sofi Stadium, so nobody can drive
(03:01):
a truck in there and explode, you know, a truck
full of explosives. And they should be in front of
all these businesses, especially on corners, a corner business that
has that kind of exposure where there's nothing. There's no posts,
no poles, no light posts, nothing between the front of
that market and the corner of Rochester and Westwood.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Nothing.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Shock and tears from residents who live in the area,
horrified hearing the sonic boom sounding off when a vehicles
smacked into Ranch Market just after the noon hour.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
A horrible noise that gave me chills.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
People died the crash, leaving three dead, several victims with
serious injuries and others traumatiz with bumps and bruises, and the.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
People eating lunch are are directly inside of that corner.
There's cars going fifty sixty miles an hour on that
street and you're eating lunch without any protection around you
on the corner. That's crazy, unbelievable that people felt secure
enough to sit there and have coffee and talk with
(04:05):
their friends or neighbors with cars whizzing by right outside
at fifty miles an hour and sometimes sixty on that street,
with these kids driving around.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
I heard this man left trembling after hearing the crash
and running to the scene witnessing chaos and death.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I heard a bunch of people are gathering around and
police coming out and well, yeah, it's tragedy.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Vehicle had struck a bicyclist.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
La Citi Fire captain.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
You know what, vehicle had struck a bicyclist.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
First time I've ever heard that by syclist. Maybe somebody's
ever read that term before, druck a bicyclist, or maybe
you know what, I'm going to give him the benefit
of doubt. I think all of you idiots have been
calling it a bicycle your whole lives, and I think proba,
I think he's right. Uh uh, what do you called
bicyclists bicyclist? Yeah, I think in the in the strictest
(04:58):
definition of the term, I think he's that's right. I
think you guys are wrong.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
La Citi Fire captain Eric Scott saying the deadly crash
unfolding after an elderly driver in her seventies.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
There are a lot of elderly drivers in Westwood. Westwood
is one of the older communities in southern California, and
people who own a home in Westwood, some of them
are still driving in their eighties and nineties because they've
had that home in their family for maybe generations or
at least, you know, sixty seventy years. And there are
(05:34):
a lot of people up in the hills near Ucla,
So it's a bad combination. It's a combination of elderly
drivers in that area and college kids who are on
their phones or have their you know, headphones on and
are not watching when they cross the street. I'm not
saying this happened in this case, but in Westwood, it's
(05:55):
a recipe for disaster. Young kids on their phones, not
paying attention and elderly drivers is not a great combination.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Colliding with a bicyclist near Westwood and Rochester. The driver
then apparently lost control of the vehicle, ramming into the market,
hitting multiple people and again leaving three dead.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
There are multiple patrons that were inside, they're seating in
table areas and as of now, we have a total
of nine patients.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Tragically, three of those.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Individuals were beyond any medical help despite our best intentions
and our best efforts, they were determined dead on scene.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
That is a lot of death for an accident like this,
it's usually zero, maybe one, but three people this is horrible.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
And it is an eerie site seeing that vehicle inside
of the Ranch Market, knowing why it's there, and the
unfolding tragedy in the aftermath, and nine patients involved in
this accident. We have confirmations on the ages and the
gender of the deceased victims, and this was given to
(06:59):
us by the fire department. A forty two year old
female dead, fifty five year old male dead, thirty year
old man dead.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And of course these are young people. These are young
people at their whole lives in front of them. Thirties
forties and fifties and eating in a market there with
cars going fifty miles an hour right outside the glass.
It wasn't even a wall, it's just glass out there.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
A forty two year old female dead.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Forty two year old female whole life in.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Front of her, fifty five year old.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Male, another fifty five year old.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Male, thirty year old man, had.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
A thirty year old guy sitting there just going about
their lives, and it's over dead.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
And of course there were multiple multiple injuries. Now, as
for the bicyclist, authorities tell us that the bicyclist was
rattled and bruised. We do not know the extent of
his injuries, but that person was not killed in this
horrible tragedy, and of course people just injured in a
(08:03):
lot of folks in the community in an absolute state
of shock.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You know, I don't know the person driving, but seventy
seven and flying into a store like that, I didn't
see any break marks or break you know, I guess
skid marks outside of that. So that means they probably
mistook the gas for the break And that's the first
(08:28):
sign of you got to take the keys away, because
those are two very distinctly different pedals, and when mom
and Dad can't figure out which is which Keith are
going away?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
All right, we'll keep up on that.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I hope nobody else obviously, everybody hopes that nobody else
passes away from this. But there are some very serious
injuries as well, and that area is going to be
closed for quite some time. So if you travel on
Western Boulevard between Wiltshire and Santa Monica, that's gonna be
closed for a long long time.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Maya from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Oh, we've got the Big Game coming up this weekend, so.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
If you're going to a party or wherever you're going,
it's gonna be huge. I think the publicity, you know,
machine with the Super Bowl or with the Big Game
isn't what it used to be. I don't know why.
I don't hear anybody really talking about it. Belly, where
are you going for the Super Bowl? You always have
something cool going on. You get a bunch of those
(09:34):
Costco chickens and off to I don't know, Corona or something.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
We are staying in really, yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Just having snacks at home, just havings Okay, on.
Speaker 10 (09:49):
A day like this, you don't get like in the
apron and cook them up some little finger foods and
things like that for him, less I said, and watch
this again?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah, do you stay in the kitchen and cook while
he watches again?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Well?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, yeah, that's right, that's where you should be writing.
Dang right, yeah, all right. Snacks.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Prices are going up for snacks for Super Bowl, the most.
Speaker 11 (10:08):
Popular snacks, saying they are going to be lowering prices
up to nearly fifteen percent.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
PepsiCo, who makes you know this is where you see
all the big potato chip displays. If you go into
any store, you know there's that million bags of chips.
It says super Bowl, and you know you got to
go up front. You got to grab those bags and
take off at the.
Speaker 11 (10:26):
Chips, Lazed Potato Chips, Doritos, and Cheetos. Says that they
heard from customers who are feeling the impact of rising
prices across the board on groceries.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Wait, wait, wait a minute, wait.
Speaker 11 (10:38):
What says that they heard from customers.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Who are feed customers are calling saying that the Cheetos
are too expensive.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
That's what kind of time you have and it's only
doing it over like the last year.
Speaker 10 (10:49):
Feedback emails to that right calls Yeah, like it's the
first time that people have complained about the rising costs
of snacks.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Jen, I'm writing a letter. Why is that the lotos
they're up forty cents?
Speaker 11 (11:05):
Says that they heard from customers who are feeling the
impact of rising prices across the board on groceries, so
they've also added the new suggested retail prices begin rolling
out in the United States this week. And because retailers, it.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Seems like, I don't know anyone who's ever paid full
price for a bag of chips. It's always says seven
ninety nine on the bag, and then you look down
and it say, oh, it's a two for three dollars.
It's always the best deal in town. Two ninety nine
for a big ass bag of chips.
Speaker 11 (11:34):
And because retailers ultimately set their own retail prices, shoppers
may see even greater savings depending on the store. Now,
this follows a Wells Fargo study saying a Super Bowl
party this year will cost one hundred and forty dollars
and Robin, that's up.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Wait, the party is one hundred and forty dollars. Where
are you getting away with that? One hundred and forty
dollars to fifty people?
Speaker 11 (11:56):
Over party this year will cost one hundred and forty dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Well, maybe one brings something? Well, ya, when you go
to a christ like a Christmas party or I don't know,
Thanksgiving or a super Bowl party, do you always bring something?
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (12:09):
I think when you're invited somewhere you should bring.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, I always always do, and people even make fun
of me, you know, but I'm going to.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
A party having manners Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
For like, I brought a pizza once when they're like,
why are you bring a pizza?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
You know, really, who are these people?
Speaker 9 (12:28):
It's the thought that counts.
Speaker 10 (12:30):
You come in with a pizza and people are gonna
go ew.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, I get it. I get it.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Was that it was an expensive party and I brought
it in like a low end pizza, like a little season.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
A frozen pizza and a cook at their house.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Pizza still frozen. Hey, some of these frozen pizzas are
pretty good. They are Angel and Robin.
Speaker 11 (12:51):
That's up a few bucks from last year, just.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
A few bucks there.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
But how did the price cuts on snacks.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Reflect she takes her mind the dominoes and then complains
about my frozen pizza. That's great, that's classic.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Mom gets dominoes.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
Her choice, Okay, her choice.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Does she know there's other joints available on birthdays? Does
she get a discount? Do they offer like a birthday discount?
Do you take your mom around? Try to get the
birthday get discounts? Thirty one The overall state of grocery
prices and inflation.
Speaker 11 (13:30):
Yeah, it's a mixed bag when it comes to inflation
and groceries. Sorry for the pun, but we're going to
extend that out to show you by example, using this
plate of nachos made for us by the folks here
at Splash Sports Bar in San Francisco that ares housing
us all all week. So let's we've got our reduced
cost chips on the bottom, and then we're.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Gonna bet those are good, right, the reduced cost chips.
Speaker 11 (13:54):
We've got our reduced cost chips on the bottom.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
What a great name for them.
Speaker 11 (13:58):
And then we're going to throw some round beef on top.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
That's up fifty sounds great.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Hey, you guys want any more of those reduced chips?
Speaker 11 (14:06):
We've got our reduced cost chips on the bottom.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Hey, have there any more of those reduced cost chips?
Those are pretty good.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
And then we're gonna throw some ground beef on top.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
That's does that reduced cost ground beef too? I'd stay
away from that. You don't want he never ever want
to buy reduced cost meat. Ever, there's a reason it's
four cents a pound.
Speaker 11 (14:28):
And then we're gonna throw some ground beef on top.
That's up fifteen and a half percent. Who then we're
gonna put some salta on tomatoes down about three percent,
and vegetable price is roughly flat. Then we've got cheese,
which is down one point six percent. But if you
want a beverage with that, well, beer is up one
point three percent, Spirits are up one point eight percent,
(14:52):
and if you have a few too many of them, Why.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Are we even mentioning such close calls? Where beer's up
one percent one percent? So an eighteen pack that cost
you eighteen dollars is up what eighteen cents one percent?
And we're still mentioning that cheese up one percent? A
(15:17):
bag of four dollar cheese will cost you four more cents.
Why are we even mentioning that's it almost seems like
in the ballpark of zero.
Speaker 11 (15:28):
Few too many of those. Well, then their breakfast the
morning after, you might need an extra cup of coffee,
and coffee is up nineteen point eight percent, with eggs though,
down twenty point nine percent.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
So yeah, I was at Walmart the other day, not bragging,
you know, I made a couple of bucks. I cand
slide into Walmart every once in a while. Eggs a
dollar fourteen a dozen, a dollar fourteen for a dozen eggs,
and nobody's talking about that. Everybody talks about when they
go to nine dollars a dozen, and then when they
(16:00):
go back to a dollar nobody mentions it. It was
a dollar fourteen for a dozen eggs. I mean, you
had to buy seven hundred of them, but twelve will
cost you a dollar fourteen.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
That is a sweet dam You're listening to Tim Conway
Junior on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Gary and Shannon mentioned us on their show, And the
policy around here is in anytime any show in LA
mentions us, and we're aware of it, even if it's
on a competing station, even in a competing radio company,
we played on the air. So if you work for
I don't know whatever whatever station, and you mentioned this,
(16:40):
we play it and it's Gary and Shannon because we
played a promo that I did. I created with AI,
and I created a what I thought was a perfect
Gary and Shannon. I took a little bit of their audio,
threw it into an AI generation machine and it generated
a beautiful promo and it sounded exactly like them, and
(17:03):
they played on.

Speaker 8 (21:45):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyan from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Ding Dong with You. Somebody asked me today to explain
what where ding Dong came from, and I thought to myself, Oh, okay,
I probably don't do that enough on the radio, and
new listeners are like, why does he keep doing that?
Why does this guy keep going ding dong?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
What's that all about? Okay, I'll expind to him.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
When I was a kid, my dad would take me
to the racetrack and that's where I learned math and
happened to be pretty good at math. I learned because
everything of the track is math. The jocks weight, the
horse's weight, the horses height, the furlongs, the times, the
exact trifecta, superfecta, super fine.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
It's all math. All of it payouts.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And if you don't know math, it's very difficult to
hang at the racetrack. So my dad would take me
out there, and he thought that was a better place
for me to learn math than missus Bernstein's class.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
And he was right, he was right.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
And I remember I was probably about seven or eight
years old, and I heard I was watching a race
at Sannita and two horses separate from the pack. There
was ten horses in the race, and the seven and
the three were way ahead of everybody else, and the
seven and three were neck and neck.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
And with every.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
I guess, every second or every every you know, length,
every every move, there was another head bob. And it
was the seven, then the three, then the three, then
the seven, seven three three seven, And with every head bob,
there's a new leader, a new leader. And I heard
an old guy in the grand stand stand up and
(23:32):
yell out, we got a dig dog with the horses,
you know, ding dog with seven three three seven seven
three dig dong, dig dong, And so that's what that's
in reference to ding dong. Now cut to about forty
years later. We were reading a story on the air
(23:55):
that had to do with this couple in San Diego
and the guy had killed his wife. I'm like, oh,
what an a hole?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
You know?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Guy killed his wife and.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Then found out she had stolen all the family's money
and I spent it on I don't know, on gambling
or somehow lost it bad investments, whatever, So he didn't know,
but she lost all their money. They were very wealthy.
Now they're dead broke, like, oh man, she's an ahole.
And I found out he was sleeping with her sister.
(24:26):
Oh now it's back to him. He's an a hole.
And then I found out that she I had a
kid and said it was the guys, but it never
was the guys. It was her boyfriend's. I'm like, oh,
now she's an a hole. And I couldn't figure out
who the bigger a hole was, so I said, oh man,
that's a ding dong. And I only said it once,
(24:47):
and I would have never said it again unless Matt
money Smith. He called me up after I said it,
and he says, buddy, I was on the six Oh
five Freeway, and when you yelled out ding dong after
trying to figure out this crazy couple, he said, I
almost drove off the freeway, laughing my ass off. And
I said, Okay, if a veteran like Matt money Smith
(25:10):
gives you that diamond, that piece of gold, you gotta
take it. And that was the beginning of dig Dog.
And that's how it happened. Now there's been some embarrassing
dings and dogs in my past. I was at Low's
(25:30):
and a guy who works for Low's was standing there
and I walked in and he looks at me. I'm
probably about twenty yards from him, and he looks at me.
He goes, ding do And I look at him and
I go, hey, dig dong and he looks at me.
He says what I say, I give you a ding dong?
You gave me one? He said, no, no, no. I was
(25:51):
saying hi to the guy behind you, saying hey, Ron,
oh my god. Pretty embarrassing, embarrassing, but it's taken off
and it's been I don't know more than ten years,
I think. And when I see people at the racetrack
or at Low's or home depot or Walmart, all my
(26:14):
favorite stores Costco, and I run into somebody and they
either recognize the voice or a picture. Now that there's
social media, they always yell out ding dong. And it's
a real great icebreaker to meet people who listen to
the show. And this happened in a restaurant about three
(26:34):
months ago. I was having a lunch with a friend
of mine that named George McGrath, who's a one of
the funniest men I've ever met in my life. He's
a writer, he wrote all the Peewee Herman movies and
just a really funny dude, A great improv actor, a
great writer, and just one of the funniest, naturally funniest
guys I've ever met in my life. And while we're
(26:55):
having lunch at Patty's, a guy came up and said
dig doll, and I go. I stood up and shook
his hand.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Hey, how you doing.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Nice to see him, and he said he listens to
the show. And he said, hey, can I get a
picture with you? And I took a picture with my camera.
He didn't have his phone on him. I took a
picture with my camera and I said, I'll just send
it to you. What's your cell number? And he gave
me a cell number, and I gave him mine and
I send him the picture. And then I sit down
and George's you get people your cell phone over. You
(27:26):
don't met that guy, And I said, well, I'm glad
you mentioned that. For twenty years since I've had a
cell phone, if I run into somebody at the track
or at Disneyland or whatever and they want to get
a picture and they want me to send it to him,
I always give my cell number. And in the twenty
years that I've been giving total strangers my cell phone,
(27:48):
never met the guy in my life, never met the
girl in my life. Not a single person has abused that.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Not one.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Not one person has done anything appropriate or given it
out out or gone crazier, done anything. Not one person
in twenty years. And that is a true testament to
how great the listeners are at KFI. Smart, respectful, good laughers,
(28:16):
genuinely funny people, positive people. The people who listen to
KFI are amongst the greatest people in the world. And
I worked for another station where it was missed when
you meet somebody, you know, when you meet somebody. When
I met somebody from Kala Sex, it usually meant they
had no car insurance. Sorry, but the people who work
(28:37):
here and the people are sorry. The people who listen
to KFI are awesome. I've had nothing but great experience
with every single one of them. I can't remember one
bad experience. Okay, I remember one. I remember one bad
experience with a listener at KFI. I was at Santa
Anita got almighty.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
A lot of stories start that.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Way, and this woman came up and she was drunk,
probably for about nine hours. She's probably into her tenth
hour of being wildly buzzed or drunk.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
And she's hay ding dong. I'm like, oh, ding dong,
ding dong, and she just gotta take a picture of that.
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure sure.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
And she had one of those huge drinks, like those
comedy style drinks, those yards stick.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yeah they had in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Yeah, e when you go to Vegas, you get a
yard of beer, you know, and then and that's not
a that's not rock bottom for you. You're walking around and
you have a yard, you have three feet of beer
on you, and that's not a problem.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
People are like just like, oh, that guy's great. He
drinks a lot, but his eye's.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Fun he has three feet of beer on him. That's
not a problem. I would never do that. So I
don't know what what the drink was. It was a
mixed drink and there was a lot of it, and
she I put her up, my arm around her. She
put her around me, and she spilled the entire drink
down my back. Oh, the entire And it was in
the middle of winter. It was cold as hell, and
(30:00):
the entire drink, it didn't stop. They all went down
my jacket and then his shirt and my pants.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
It got in belly.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I know you're saying that, like you're you know, you're
you're well, was me, but those ice cubes got into
my underpants.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
Oh no, oh, you were raw dog in.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
It that I was not raw dog and a hot
dog and her free ball and whatever you whatever you
and John call it. I was not doing that that day.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
It was the worst.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
I had to drive home and I smelled like whiskey
and my I got home, my wife's like, hey, why
do you smell like cheaper fume and whiskey. I'm like,
goss at Santanita. She goes, no, that's not sant Anita smell. Yeah,
you were at a strip bar. I'm like, no, I
wasn't a strip bar. I was at this this woman
poured a drink you know, down my back and she
was wearing cheap perfume.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Can you do?
Speaker 10 (30:47):
You know?
Speaker 2 (30:49):
But that was the only rough incident.
Speaker 9 (30:52):
How did you react to her when that happened?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I was swearing. I started swearing. I started using curse
words and her name because she had told me your name.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I came up with the ass. I think I went
with the big one. I went nuts, the big one.
I went nut.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, I lost it. I'm not I'm not happy about
my reaction to that. I really really lost it. No,
not at all day, not at all. I felt horrible
driving home, like she's going to tell nine hundred people
that story. I don't even think I spilled anything. And
the guy called me the big you know, but on
(31:28):
and on you being on a wild day at the
track and I lost So that might have added to
the explosion on the grig. Lady all right, We're live
