Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app
dealing with a parking lot situation. Situation. Yeah, I uh,
somebody hit my car and there was no damage on
my car or her car. And she said, oh, let's
(00:21):
exchange you know, licenses and insurance. I'm like, there's no damage.
I mean, you know, you were going two miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
So you were you were in the car at the time.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I was in the car. Yeah, I was in the car.
I was listening to the radio. I was in the car,
and I was about to get out, and she just
hit me, like a two miles an hour and she
made a big deal out of it, you know, like, hey,
you know, do you think it was my fault. I'm like, well,
I'm sitting part you know, well I'm not moving and
I got hit. Yeah, and you were coming in the
(00:52):
spot and you hit me. And she goes, well, you
know you want me to do you want to just
take care of this with like the body shop. I said, sweetie,
there's no damage. Walk away on either car. Walk away,
I mean got a mighty you know, just let you know,
walk away from this thing. But I was talking to
Matt money Smith in the hallways here, like you do, yeah,
(01:12):
And I said, man, that NBA, I mean sorry, that
World Series got twenty five million viewers in the United
States And he said, yay, so that's a big number.
That's a huge number. I think that only happened once
in the NBA for the NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's funny because it took the game seven for that
to happen because it had like horrible numbers prior to that.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, west right, and we had they had
twenty five million people watch that World Series, which again
I watched until three am last night last night, until
three am.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
You think it's going to change up on you.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I just I still can't believe they won that game.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
You got to keep watching. Yeah, I'll think it at
some point.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
The highest rated and most watched NBA Finals of all
time where nineteen ninety eight, You may remember, it was
a wild series with the Chicago Bulls and the Utah
Jazz that averaged twenty nine million viewers on.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
NBC Michael's last game. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
It was the controversy, the push they you know, there
was the it was something like that there was the
flu going in. It was like a weird it was
weird off court stories and and and an unbelievable you
know series. But if you watch you remember the NBA
Finals in eighty seven, it was the Lakers in Boston
and that was on CBS. That averaged twenty four million
(02:33):
viewers Boston LA in basketball twenty four million. Yet Fox
got twenty five million people to watch on Saturday night
the the the World Series. Now, granted it was a
Saturday night. You know, people home, people are broke, so
they have nowhere to go.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And really importantly, there was no NFL game on, right,
no NFL game on and that they were beating World
Series games for like a month night football game.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, the NFL rules, but there was.
It was also the day after Halloweens, so people, you know,
were partied out on Friday night exactly, they want to
hang at home and just do nothing.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Normally a lot of them would go out to the
bars and watch the game, but having partied the night
before from watch.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
They were full of cors the silver bullets. Cors Light
has taken over Halloween with these silver bullets. So in
eighty seven it was law La Lakers and Boston Celtics,
and again that was twenty four million viewers, and then
gave seven of nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That was oh no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
In twenty fifteen, the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers,
that was when Lebron James made a huge comeback to win.
I believe that's that year, and that averaged nineteen million,
almost twenty million viewers, so twenty million in twenty fifteen
with the NBA Finals twenty four million with Boston LA.
(03:57):
I don't think you get two, you know, teams East Coast,
West coast, big rivals like that, and they only got
twenty four million, but they had twenty five million viewers
on Saturday watching that game. It was unreal, unbelievable. And
I always extend when I record a game. I always
put on the extension, you know, extend two hours, you know,
extended play, extended record two hours. And that game ended
(04:21):
literally ten seconds before my allotted time on my recording ended.
And if I didn't have that ending, I would have
been miserable as hell. So now I have it on
TV and I watch it every day. I fast forward
through the commercials, I start yet last night I started
in the first fing inning. How do you do you
have it like on TVO or something. Yeah, well, no,
(04:42):
it's on DVRs. So I can just fast forward through
the commercials. Say you have a VCR tape. It's an
unbelievable game. There was everything in that game bench clearing,
you know at one point.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
But you remember all those days with the VCRs and
people would save those games, those yeah games, I did
as well.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I still have them.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Stacks of a VCR tape, I still have them.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
But that's that's when you know you you have to
literally it was such poor quality too. You could barely
see it. It looks like from.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Years ago, and it was like ten.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And then it took a genius to set up the timer.
You know, you had to manually do it. And then
god forbid you ever get a power outed, you got
to go right back and start, got to start over.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Daylight saving was a pain in the ass.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I had. My wife said to me today, she said, hey,
do you know that the lady down the street said hi?
And I'm like okay, and she goes, do you know
what I'm talking about? I'm like not really, I mean,
who is she? She goes, oh, she's the one that
worked at your junior high school Portola. And she said,
you don't remember her, mister, missus Austro or something.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I said.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
She goes, she came by the house and said hi
to you, like five years ago, and said she worked
at your junior high and remembers you from junior High.
I said, yeah, I you know, I don't know. I mean,
I think she's probably a beautiful, wonderful lady. I just
my memory is not what he used to be.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Do you believe that though?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I mean, you're a known person. So if somebody has
a conversation like oh, yeah I remember, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
So but but then she said you don't remember her,
and I said, Keen. The attendance office wasn't a positive
experience for me. Every time I was called that attendant's office,
I'm like, oh, they finally got me, you know, they
they are on to me. And I said, I don't
know anybody, Krozer. You where'd you go to junior high?
(06:33):
What was the name of your junior Shuegart?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Did you know?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Do you know anybody from the attendance office? No?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh good god, No the attendant's office.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
No, yeah, I do you know? We had one belly.
Do you know anybody from your junior high attendance office?
Where did you go to junior high? Uh?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Manning Junior High in Golden color Applewood, Colorado?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Is that named after the Manning brothers? Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It was Tim? Is that right?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I went to Eli Manning.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Born then Yeah. No, but the Mannings were a dynasty
even before you were born.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Peyton, Yeah, I know, Archie Archie man Ye, Archie Manning.
What about you, Angel Martinez?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But where'd you go to junior High?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I went to junior High at Low Saliso's in Mission
Via Hos.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Wow, got a snobby? What did you do you remember
anybody from the attendant's office? No, yeah, I don't. I
don't even I couldn't point where the attendant's office was.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
But my daughter and my wife are all like, you know,
you said hi, or you.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Don't know, you're getting old, you're getting out of here,
go make money at the radio, your fart, And they're like,
you know, But but I will say when when my
dad was doing the Carbonet show, I used to have
him sign a piece of paper and say, hey, this
kid at school wants your autograph, and he go, okay,
he assigned piece of paper, and then on the way
to school, above it, I'd write, please excuse him for
the last day he had the flu?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Did he really?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I did that twenty thirty times easily?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Did you really do that? And then my dad caught
on to me. So he signed a piece of paper
and goes, oh, what's the kid's name?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
He goes by mister Kaufman. He's very formal, he's a
he's a very formable friend of mine and juniors to
whom we may concerns. And then he got really smart
and he started signing autograph pictures instead of pieces of paper.
And then it's really difficult to write on the paper
on the picture, but they probably would accept it in
(08:30):
the picture. You're down with an autograph, alright. But I
remember him looking at me, go witmute. Your friend's name
is mister Kaufman. Yeah, he's a formal friend of mine.
He's a British guy. He's he's an old school, old
school guy. Old school. All right, we're live on kf
I am six forty. There is some news on planes
being cut back, and we'll get to that.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty monks joins us hi you bub.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I'm all right.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
I'm certainly too better than some of these poor folks
who lost their houses in the January wild fires, who
are just continuing to suffer, and they've had it, and
they are calling for a resignation.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Tim, Yes, at the insurance commissioner, I believe right. Yeah,
his name is Ricardo Laura.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
You may have heard his name frequently recently in media reports,
as there has been documentation of his widespread travel, is
lavish spending, and really the lack of proper oversight, some
would say, of the insurance agents of the insurance industry.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Right, really in bed with the big insurance company. Well,
that's what it looks like. And here's what happened, Okay.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
Group of survivors of the Eton fire and the Palisades
Fire got together today to ask Governor Newsom to join
them in calling for Ricardo Laura's resignation. This little press
event that they organized today was inspired by an article
that came out in the New York Times a few
days ago.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Nobody locally will write about it in California. There's been
some writing, but not like this.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
This was a deep dive. And this New York Times
article has five bylines on it. It's very rare that
you have an article with that many journalists attached to it,
and the New York Times sent five people out here
to take a look at how the insurance situation in
this state got to where it was specifically related to
the fires. And so these survivors say, there's a couple
of issues, and that's what was explored in this article. One,
(10:21):
people who have insurance and suffered losses in the fires
are not able to get what they thought they were
paying for. It's not working fast enough. Two other people
can't get insurance at all.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And a bunch of policies were canceled really like moments
before that fire hit.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
That's the crux of this article, maybe the most damning
part of it. If you read the article, they explain
this deal that Ricardo Laura was trying to work out
with the insurance industry. The goal was one to get
people insured, but also to get people off of the
state program. It doesn't offer as much a coverage as
a private policy. You're often paying more for less basically
(11:00):
is what happens. And so The New York Times writes,
the central promise was that insurers would have to write
policies in fire prone areas at a rate equal to
at least eighty five percent of their market share across
the state. In other words, let's get a deal going.
We're going to help you increase your rates as you
want to do, but you have to ensure more people.
(11:22):
You have to promise to do that. Okay, okay, they say,
but this deal was riddled with loopholes. Ah, and so
the insurance agencies were still able to increase the rates.
But we're also able to cancel thousands and thousands and
thousands of insurance policies, including in the fire prone areas.
(11:42):
And instead of reducing the number of people on the
fare Plan as it's known the state insurance program, the
numbers almost doubled.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Oh my god, you know. And then there's people, you
know who weren't affected by the fire and don't live
in a fire zone, like well me who So before
the fire, my home insurance for a year was twenty
four hundred dollars. I just got the bill last week
for next year, it's fifty six hundred dollars. I just
gone up by it was twenty four hundred. It's gone
(12:12):
up thirty two hundred dollars more.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
I just got to notice from my Renter's insurance going
up that they're canceling us.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
And I've been meaning to look into that because I
don't know if that's something other people are dealing with.
If I about even the Renter's insurance market in this
state is about to collapse because we've had them for
almost three full years, and now when the term expires
in January, we got to find somebody else.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
And that's that's tough. You know, it's expensive too, Renter's
insurance and it doesn't cover a lot. I think maximum
is twenty five thousand dollars for like a typical policy.
But the insurance in this state has always been a scam.
It's tough, it's expensive, and you're not getting enough for it.
These survivors who got together today calling for Ricardo Lar's
resignation say seventy percent of insured survivors of Eton and
(12:58):
Palisades fires what they call systemic under insurance and delays
and denials blocking their recovery, and that there are more
than eight and ten Los Angeles fire survivors displaced still wow,
with most expected to lose their temporary housing coverage within months.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And then this guy, Laura the commissioner, is flying all
over the world on our dime and posting pictures on
social media. It's pretty brazen. I mean, look, I understand
the guy doing this in nineteen sixty two when nobody
had a camera and all the reporters were in the
pocket of the politicians. But this is twenty twenty five,
when everyone has cameras, everyone has social media, and he
(13:41):
still does it. He posts some You gotta give him
the fact that he's got radical huge balls. Got well.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
I'm sure there are plenty of people you can ask
in the towns that have been visited, but unbelievable. California
is difficult to ensure because of the nature of the weather.
Here we have beautiful weather, but we also suffer from
these wildfires, potential of earthquakes. That's why you have to
have earthquake insurance in some instances, certain types of fire
insurance depending on where you are, and that's not attractive
(14:11):
just from a business point of view. So you can
understand the challenges that the insurance industry faces, and that's
why some compromises are probably necessary. But what these survivors
are saying is we want to feel like we're not
being left behind here. We want to make sure that
everything is transparent and that the negotiations that are taking
place are fair. Florida deals with the same things. I mean,
(14:32):
any place at hcacular adverse weather.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I mean.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
Insurers are like, we're losing our balls here. I mean,
we can't continue doing this this way. So some concessions,
of course, have to be made. There is a price
to pay to live in a beautiful place like this, right,
Like get fair and make it open.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And a lot of people don't have a mortgage have
opted not to ensure anyway because it's too expensive.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
They just put that money away every month and hopefully
they don't go through a catastrophe.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The second deal you're working on is the Brady Bunch House.
They want to make that a You could have teased
it better than that. You just blew it. Oh my god,
all right, but it's coming up next. I want to
tell it.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Brady Famous Houses could become a historic cultural landmark in
Los Angeles in one of the Brady Kids spoke in
favor of that at a city meeting in Los Angeles today.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That story is coming up next on The Conway Show
Us Can you stay? Yeah, okay, all right, Monks is
with us. We're gonna do the Brady Bunch House next.
And by the way, I've been to the Brady Bunch House.
You have to really look at it for about an
hour to realize that it's a Brady Bunch House. It
doesn't look anything like it. And it's a one story house.
And they had stairs inside the Brady Bunch House. So
(15:40):
there's a problem there. And why were there never any
pictures of the ex husband and the ex wife? Save
it for the segment? All right, I got it, all right,
all right, I get a show on Saturday night and
all of a sudden, he's dictating this weekday show.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
This guy.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty Monks.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Should you watch it for he's grown up?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
In reruns?
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Yeah, yeah, that's This show was not actually a huge
rating success in first run, but it has had this
longevity which brings us to today. This is a show
that resonates even with people walking among us youthfully today.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Wow. And so you remember from the show the Brady House. Sure,
I've been to the Brady House probably ten to fifteen times. Well,
it's in Studio City. Yeah, here in Los Angeles. I
could take you to it. It's about four miles where
we're sitting. Yeah, it's not far at all. And it
may soon be a protected historic cultural landmark in the
city of Los Angeles. The first hurdle was cleared today,
(16:40):
is that right, Yeah, the Los Angeles Historic or Heritage
Cultural Commission, they're the ones that get the first DIBs
at all of these landmarks. Ultimately it's approved by city council,
but there's a process, and what happened today was that
very first step where a lot of evidence has presented,
a report is presented and.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
It says, is this word for further exploration? And the
answer was yes, we're going to look further into this.
And this was presented by an architect and local historian
who put all the documents together explaining why this house
is significant. But what was interesting when you get to
historic landmark, it's often iconic architecture. Something major happened there
(17:19):
at the site. Sure, this was more than just the
mid century architecture. It's a lovely mid century home. There
are a lot of examples of this, but this one's
special because of its connection to this show, even though.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
The show was not shot there. Well, the show wasn't
shot there, and I got a lot of problems with
the house. But you know, coming from you know, Ohio
and Kentucky. You know, my dad's from Ohio, your parents
are from Kentucky. Once a house reaches one hundred years old,
it gets historical protection. In some places it's fifty. Oh,
it's fifty okay, Like the house that my grandparents owned
(17:51):
was built before Abraham Lincoln was president. I mean historic,
and you can't take it down now. It's there forever.
There's a big plaque on it, and it's done. And
I think we might have talked about this before.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Los Angeles is not as old as those Western places,
at least not in terms of having this type of civilization.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
You know, the way that cities are built up.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
So if you go to any city in the Midwest
or the East coast, so whether it's a big city
or a small city, you've got tons of old Victorian
commercial architecture on their main street. That is probably protected
by various ordinances, which means you can't you can't just
not tear it down. You have to have certain windows
that go in, certain paint colors that go in. This
is to keep this home in Studio City in case
(18:34):
it ever faces the threat of demolition. There is no
imminent threat, but this is a home that resonates with
so many people, including the Brady Kids. One of the
Brady Kids, Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady, the youngest
one in Curls Right, she attended the meeting today.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
Here's what she said that Brady's represent the ideal family
where the children and parents respect each other mutually and
small but important lessons are learned in every episode. Fortunately,
the home was purchased by HGTV. As adults, we surviving Brady's,
who will always be known as the Brady Kids, became
(19:10):
involved in the effort to restore the Brady House that
make the interior match the sets that were built on
the sound stage at Paramount Studios. I thought the task
was impossible, but what the geniuses at HGTV. We did it.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
So there's two things that are important there.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
One the first part of the argument, this is a
house that means a lot to a lot of people.
That's because of how beloved the show is. And two,
the interior does now match the show.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
And while that.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Can't be considered for the historic preservation purposes, it's technically new.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Even though it's done in that old style.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
It is something that has enhanced the appeal of this house,
making it worthy of saving.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So if you do d if you ever go buy
the house and you drive by it, I know Beellio
has gone by it. She's a brady nut And it
doesn't look like there's enough room for a second story.
Looks like it's a split level house, but there's definitely
not enough room in that house to have a full
staircase like they had in the show.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
You know, they have a lot of arguments about these
types of places. In fact, just today, I was scrolling
Facebook a little earlier and I saw one of the
Seinfeld pages posted the layout of Jerry Seinfeld's apartment and
it's like, there's no way there could be a hallway
outside that. You know, Like, people get into the nuts.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
It's a TV show, it's a TV show that's fantastic.
Joy the television show, but this house.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Sherwood Schwartz, who created the show, and his daughter spoke
at the meeting today too and support of preserving this house.
He specifically drove around Studio City and LA looking for
a house. He wanted Mike Brady, the father to be
an architect. He's like, that's one of the jobs you
never see on television at this and this is according
to his daughter who spoke today. So he went driving
around looking for house that he thought an architect might
(20:54):
live in. Oh wow, and he found that one, which
was probably about ten years old at the time, and said,
that's the one unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I mean it literally is. You know, it's off Wist
and Ventura, and I imagine the people own the house,
are you know now that it's the garden station or
hg TV or whatever it is, there's probably nobody living
in it. But when there were people living in it,
it probably was tiresome to have fifty people every day
come by and stare at your house.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
The woman who owns it does live in it. She's
start at the meeting today too, in favor of preserving
the house. She bought the house from HGTV, and she said,
speaking from her own experience. There's just something really special,
especially now that it's been redesigned to look like the interior.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Ron. I'd love to see the interior.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
They were shot on the Paramount lot, right, so they
just did those as establishing exterior shots. But you see
in everything. But now the interior looks like how she says.
When you walk in, it's almost like not just the
Brady characters, but you can see your mom's slippers by
the door, you can see your dad's glasses on the table.
It just takes you back to another time.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Come on, guys from the Woody Show Menace and Greg.
They did a tour of it about a month or
so ago. They posted it online. Was they took a
tour of the entire interior.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Wow, and it is.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
It's completely functional and set up and looks just like
it did during the Brady Show.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
And that style is that style is hip again.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
I love mid century architecture, but a lot of the
mid center and there's a lot of mid century around La.
A beautiful mid century place here, but the interiors are
all updated because people want my cooking kitchens. But a
lot of that old school mid century tiles and the
types of materials that were used in kitchens.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I love that. I would love to have a place
like this. It's weird because I can you know the
house that we grew up in Tarzana, I couldn't really
tell you what the interior looked like.

The cigarette smoke. Yeah, but that Brady house, I can
tell you every like every nook and cranch, where everything is.
Where the kitchen is off to the left, the living room, this,

Mike's office. Then upstairs. I can tell you everything about
that hut. Where do you find a sunken living room anymore?
Because you see it in midcenter. I'm a fan.
Speaker 7 (22:59):

Do you have one?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Cr I do have a sunken living yw do you
sit in the house?
Speaker 7 (23:06):

Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yeah, yeah, we got a nice little couch in there.
I got my my drum sets set up in there,

sunken living room downstairs and one up in the man

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Monks. Thank you. Saturday night, seven to nine pm. I'll
be here right here on KFI. Thanks Bob. All right,
there he goes Michael Munk.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I am six forty. I'm watching David Letterman. It's the
David Letterman channel and it's I think it's called Letterman TV.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I don't know if you get it on.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Your cable or whatever you're watching at home, but it's
great to watch Letterman at the height of his career,
at the funniest he ever was, you know, before he
passed away. And to watch him, you know, do his
late night show, have these great guests on Bosa. Oh no,
(24:33):
I was talking about his comedy. Yeah, no, I know
he's alive, but his comedy is dead. Yeah, he passed away.
His comedy's passed away. He doesn't do it anymore. He
doesn't do comedy anymore. He's a serious journalist or a
serious guy. All he does every time he anytime you
(24:54):
out comedy, he's just doing. He's just doing serious grab
He's left comedy in his rear view window or whatever.
That's stupid saying is he's moved on. But to watch
Letterman when he was funny is awesome to watch. I
watched that sometimes when I get home for like two
or three hours, you know, guest after guest after guests
(25:17):
and behind the scenes and how they did all the
you know, the props and everything. It was great. The
remotes that they did, you know, when Letterman would go
out on the street and do the man on the
street stuff. It was great. And then at one point
he decided to stop doing comedy. And it's just nice
to see that. They somebody preserved his comedy before he died.
(25:40):
I mean not physically, but his comedy died, and it's
nice to see on Letterman TV. I literally watch it
for two or three hours some nights, just watch him.
It's great, it's fantastic. I don't know why I brought
that up. There was a reason. Oh oh, here's why
Marv Albert was on it. You remember Marv Albert, right Crozer. Yeah,
(26:00):
so Marv Albert had like he was. I don't know
if Rogan's Heroes was first or Marv Albert's you know,
highlight machine or whatever. Michael used to George Michael's sports machine.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
With those big ass buttons on that sports machine and
hit that button and those and those big two and
a half inch tapes would twirl around. They did anything.
But he used to show bloopers, you know. Marv Albert
would go on Letterman, go I watch this guy gets
hit by a train, you know, and watch this guy
he's choking. He doesn't die, but he gets very close.
(26:36):
But now, and but he did all sports bloopers. But now,
if somebody were to do that and go, hey, I
got a sports blooper show. Every blooper would be like,
Oh I saw that five years ago, Oh I saw
that last month, Oh I saw that two years ago.
You can't keep bloopers to yourself anymore. With the Internet.
They just get out there and all the good ones
(26:57):
are shared by everybody. So you can't do a you know,
like a Rogan's Hero or a you know, a blooper
show because everyone's already seen him. So that's over. It's over.
But it is awesome to watch a letterman man. He
(27:19):
was the best.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
He was the one that got caught with the with
the chick who used to like to get He liked
to get bit.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
In the back.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And he also wearing her panties. Yes, yeah, yeah. Does
he have a kid that also is uh? Is Chris Albert?
Or he has a kid familiar who does hockey? I
think his brother used to call hockey. Oh well, maybe
it's his brother. Yeah, maybe it's his brother. I thought
it was his kid. But he was great.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
You ever meet him Albert? What is it?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Kenny Albert? Oh, Kenny Albert. He's isn't the Rangers guy?
Or I thought I thought he was like a Ranger.
Seve Albert was is his sibling brother. Did you ever
meet him, Belly? Oh, you're big in sports? For uh?
I knew Al Albert? Who's that?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
He also was a sportscaster and he covered the NBA
in the NHL.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Great guy comedy comedy name huh, al Albert? I don't
think so. It's like Larry Lawrence?
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:13):

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:15):

I was buying a ID to buy a suit for
some stupid event. And the guy that helped me was,
I don't know, it's like suits for you or you know,
how's your suit? Whatever the name of his store was.
And the guy helped me his name was Larry l
on his name tag. And I said, oh, what's the

Larry Larry. He goes, No, No, it's Larry Lawrence. I going,
but isn't Larry short for Lawrence? He goes, I haven't
never heard that before. I said, wait, you've never heard
that Larry is short for Lawrence? He's no, I never
heard that before him, but thanks for ruining my day.
(28:59):
He want to see this in blue.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yes, Alan Albert was called basketball games for the Nets
and the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Oh so you believe him because he used Allan. He
went by al Albert.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Well I and mar I believe you too. I just
thought it was odd that al Albert and they do
have It's like Sharon Sherry Sharon now Sharon CHERRYO. It
was odd.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
I'm gonna step out of this conversation.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Yes, as she was saying, like it's a whole family, Kenny, Steve, Albert,
Marvi and Allen. I think we're all the commentators at
some point.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Bellio, if you had a sister named bell b E
lll E and her name was her name was Belle Bellio,
wouldn't that be her name is Bella Bella Bellio, Bella Bellio.
You really have a sister named Bella?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
S yes, s Now wonder you hate the Larry Lawrence
run you guys did.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
It personal for me? Got a little too close? And
you know how Sharon got her name she Wallie.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Oh right, No, it's the combination of your mom and
dad's name. Yes, your mom's name Sheila Sheila, and your
dad's name is Ron. So it's s H E R
O N. Yes, Sharon, that's classic.
Speaker 2 (30:22):

Speaker 4 (30:24):
And you got your name not from the iconic actor
Tim Conway.
Speaker 2 (30:29):

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah? Where did you get your name? My? Oh? You
want to know the truth? Yeah? Okay, my mom named
me after one of her dead brothers. How about that?
Aren't you glad? You asked? So, you're a feminine junior.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
That's what they call it? Is that right, don't they?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I think that means something else.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
No, I think if you're a junior named after your mom,
But this is your mom's brothers.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Mom's brother, Tim died when he was six months and
my mom, I guess who doesn't believe in karma, called
her son first son, Tim named after her brother, who
also had tremendous complications at birth and was only given
a fifty to fifty shot of living. So thanks mom.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I had that same thing with my mom. My mom
named me after her slow brother.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Is that right? Yes?
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Very much? So thanks mom? So I feel you on that.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Oh it's so great.

to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app
dealing with a parking lot situation. Situation. Yeah, I uh,
somebody hit my car and there was no damage on
my car or her car. And she said, oh, let's
(00:21):
exchange you know, licenses and insurance. I'm like, there's no damage.
I mean, you know, you were going two miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
So you were you were in the car at the time.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I was in the car. Yeah, I was in the car.
I was listening to the radio. I was in the car,
and I was about to get out, and she just
hit me, like a two miles an hour and she
made a big deal out of it, you know, like, hey,
you know, do you think it was my fault. I'm like, well,
I'm sitting part you know, well I'm not moving and
I got hit. Yeah, and you were coming in the
(00:52):
spot and you hit me. And she goes, well, you
know you want me to do you want to just
take care of this with like the body shop. I said, sweetie,
there's no damage. Walk away on either car. Walk away,
I mean got a mighty you know, just let you know,
walk away from this thing. But I was talking to
Matt money Smith in the hallways here, like you do, yeah,
(01:12):
And I said, man, that NBA, I mean sorry, that
World Series got twenty five million viewers in the United
States And he said, yay, so that's a big number.
That's a huge number. I think that only happened once
in the NBA for the NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's funny because it took the game seven for that
to happen because it had like horrible numbers prior to that.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, west right, and we had they had
twenty five million people watch that World Series, which again
I watched until three am last night last night, until
three am.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
You think it's going to change up on you.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I just I still can't believe they won that game.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
You got to keep watching. Yeah, I'll think it at
some point.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
The highest rated and most watched NBA Finals of all
time where nineteen ninety eight, You may remember, it was
a wild series with the Chicago Bulls and the Utah
Jazz that averaged twenty nine million viewers on.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
NBC Michael's last game. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
It was the controversy, the push they you know, there
was the it was something like that there was the
flu going in. It was like a weird it was
weird off court stories and and and an unbelievable you
know series. But if you watch you remember the NBA
Finals in eighty seven, it was the Lakers in Boston
and that was on CBS. That averaged twenty four million
(02:33):
viewers Boston LA in basketball twenty four million. Yet Fox
got twenty five million people to watch on Saturday night
the the the World Series. Now, granted it was a
Saturday night. You know, people home, people are broke, so
they have nowhere to go.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And really importantly, there was no NFL game on, right,
no NFL game on and that they were beating World
Series games for like a month night football game.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, the NFL rules, but there was.
It was also the day after Halloweens, so people, you know,
were partied out on Friday night exactly, they want to
hang at home and just do nothing.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Normally a lot of them would go out to the
bars and watch the game, but having partied the night
before from watch.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
They were full of cors the silver bullets. Cors Light
has taken over Halloween with these silver bullets. So in
eighty seven it was law La Lakers and Boston Celtics,
and again that was twenty four million viewers, and then
gave seven of nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That was oh no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
In twenty fifteen, the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers,
that was when Lebron James made a huge comeback to win.
I believe that's that year, and that averaged nineteen million,
almost twenty million viewers, so twenty million in twenty fifteen
with the NBA Finals twenty four million with Boston LA.
(03:57):
I don't think you get two, you know, teams East Coast,
West coast, big rivals like that, and they only got
twenty four million, but they had twenty five million viewers
on Saturday watching that game. It was unreal, unbelievable. And
I always extend when I record a game. I always
put on the extension, you know, extend two hours, you know,
extended play, extended record two hours. And that game ended
(04:21):
literally ten seconds before my allotted time on my recording ended.
And if I didn't have that ending, I would have
been miserable as hell. So now I have it on
TV and I watch it every day. I fast forward
through the commercials, I start yet last night I started
in the first fing inning. How do you do you
have it like on TVO or something. Yeah, well, no,
(04:42):
it's on DVRs. So I can just fast forward through
the commercials. Say you have a VCR tape. It's an
unbelievable game. There was everything in that game bench clearing,
you know at one point.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
But you remember all those days with the VCRs and
people would save those games, those yeah games, I did
as well.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I still have them.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Stacks of a VCR tape, I still have them.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
But that's that's when you know you you have to
literally it was such poor quality too. You could barely
see it. It looks like from.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Years ago, and it was like ten.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And then it took a genius to set up the timer.
You know, you had to manually do it. And then
god forbid you ever get a power outed, you got
to go right back and start, got to start over.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Daylight saving was a pain in the ass.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I had. My wife said to me today, she said, hey,
do you know that the lady down the street said hi?
And I'm like okay, and she goes, do you know
what I'm talking about? I'm like not really, I mean,
who is she? She goes, oh, she's the one that
worked at your junior high school Portola. And she said,
you don't remember her, mister, missus Austro or something.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I said.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
She goes, she came by the house and said hi
to you, like five years ago, and said she worked
at your junior high and remembers you from junior High.
I said, yeah, I you know, I don't know. I mean,
I think she's probably a beautiful, wonderful lady. I just
my memory is not what he used to be.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Do you believe that though?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I mean, you're a known person. So if somebody has
a conversation like oh, yeah I remember, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
So but but then she said you don't remember her,
and I said, Keen. The attendance office wasn't a positive
experience for me. Every time I was called that attendant's office,
I'm like, oh, they finally got me, you know, they
they are on to me. And I said, I don't
know anybody, Krozer. You where'd you go to junior high?
(06:33):
What was the name of your junior Shuegart?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Did you know?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Do you know anybody from the attendance office? No?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Oh good god, No the attendant's office.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
No, yeah, I do you know? We had one belly.
Do you know anybody from your junior high attendance office?
Where did you go to junior high? Uh?
Speaker 4 (06:50):

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Is that named after the Manning brothers? Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It was Tim? Is that right?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I went to Eli Manning.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Born then Yeah. No, but the Mannings were a dynasty
even before you were born.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Peyton, Yeah, I know, Archie Archie man Ye, Archie Manning.
What about you, Angel Martinez?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But where'd you go to junior High?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I went to junior High at Low Saliso's in Mission
Via Hos.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Wow, got a snobby? What did you do you remember
anybody from the attendant's office? No, yeah, I don't. I
don't even I couldn't point where the attendant's office was.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
But my daughter and my wife are all like, you know,
you said hi, or you.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Don't know, you're getting old, you're getting out of here,
go make money at the radio, your fart, And they're like,
you know, But but I will say when when my
dad was doing the Carbonet show, I used to have
him sign a piece of paper and say, hey, this
kid at school wants your autograph, and he go, okay,
he assigned piece of paper, and then on the way
to school, above it, I'd write, please excuse him for
the last day he had the flu?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Did he really?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I did that twenty thirty times easily?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Did you really do that? And then my dad caught
on to me. So he signed a piece of paper
and goes, oh, what's the kid's name?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
He goes by mister Kaufman. He's very formal, he's a
he's a very formable friend of mine and juniors to
whom we may concerns. And then he got really smart
and he started signing autograph pictures instead of pieces of paper.
And then it's really difficult to write on the paper
on the picture, but they probably would accept it in
(08:30):
the picture. You're down with an autograph, alright. But I
remember him looking at me, go witmute. Your friend's name
is mister Kaufman. Yeah, he's a formal friend of mine.
He's a British guy. He's he's an old school, old
school guy. Old school. All right, we're live on kf
I am six forty. There is some news on planes
being cut back, and we'll get to that.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty monks joins us hi you bub.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I'm all right.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
I'm certainly too better than some of these poor folks
who lost their houses in the January wild fires, who
are just continuing to suffer, and they've had it, and
they are calling for a resignation.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Tim, Yes, at the insurance commissioner, I believe right. Yeah,
his name is Ricardo Laura.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
You may have heard his name frequently recently in media reports,
as there has been documentation of his widespread travel, is
lavish spending, and really the lack of proper oversight, some
would say, of the insurance agents of the insurance industry.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Right, really in bed with the big insurance company. Well,
that's what it looks like. And here's what happened, Okay.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
Group of survivors of the Eton fire and the Palisades
Fire got together today to ask Governor Newsom to join
them in calling for Ricardo Laura's resignation. This little press
event that they organized today was inspired by an article
that came out in the New York Times a few
days ago.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Nobody locally will write about it in California. There's been
some writing, but not like this.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
This was a deep dive. And this New York Times
article has five bylines on it. It's very rare that
you have an article with that many journalists attached to it,
and the New York Times sent five people out here
to take a look at how the insurance situation in
this state got to where it was specifically related to
the fires. And so these survivors say, there's a couple
of issues, and that's what was explored in this article. One,
(10:21):
people who have insurance and suffered losses in the fires
are not able to get what they thought they were
paying for. It's not working fast enough. Two other people
can't get insurance at all.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And a bunch of policies were canceled really like moments
before that fire hit.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
That's the crux of this article, maybe the most damning
part of it. If you read the article, they explain
this deal that Ricardo Laura was trying to work out
with the insurance industry. The goal was one to get
people insured, but also to get people off of the
state program. It doesn't offer as much a coverage as
a private policy. You're often paying more for less basically
(11:00):
is what happens. And so The New York Times writes,
the central promise was that insurers would have to write
policies in fire prone areas at a rate equal to
at least eighty five percent of their market share across
the state. In other words, let's get a deal going.
We're going to help you increase your rates as you
want to do, but you have to ensure more people.
(11:22):
You have to promise to do that. Okay, okay, they say,
but this deal was riddled with loopholes. Ah, and so
the insurance agencies were still able to increase the rates.
But we're also able to cancel thousands and thousands and
thousands of insurance policies, including in the fire prone areas.
(11:42):
And instead of reducing the number of people on the
fare Plan as it's known the state insurance program, the
numbers almost doubled.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Oh my god, you know. And then there's people, you
know who weren't affected by the fire and don't live
in a fire zone, like well me who So before
the fire, my home insurance for a year was twenty
four hundred dollars. I just got the bill last week
for next year, it's fifty six hundred dollars. I just
gone up by it was twenty four hundred. It's gone
(12:12):
up thirty two hundred dollars more.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
I just got to notice from my Renter's insurance going
up that they're canceling us.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
And I've been meaning to look into that because I
don't know if that's something other people are dealing with.
If I about even the Renter's insurance market in this
state is about to collapse because we've had them for
almost three full years, and now when the term expires
in January, we got to find somebody else.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
And that's that's tough. You know, it's expensive too, Renter's
insurance and it doesn't cover a lot. I think maximum
is twenty five thousand dollars for like a typical policy.
But the insurance in this state has always been a scam.
It's tough, it's expensive, and you're not getting enough for it.
These survivors who got together today calling for Ricardo Lar's
resignation say seventy percent of insured survivors of Eton and
(12:58):
Palisades fires what they call systemic under insurance and delays
and denials blocking their recovery, and that there are more
than eight and ten Los Angeles fire survivors displaced still wow,
with most expected to lose their temporary housing coverage within months.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And then this guy, Laura the commissioner, is flying all
over the world on our dime and posting pictures on
social media. It's pretty brazen. I mean, look, I understand
the guy doing this in nineteen sixty two when nobody
had a camera and all the reporters were in the
pocket of the politicians. But this is twenty twenty five,
when everyone has cameras, everyone has social media, and he
(13:41):
still does it. He posts some You gotta give him
the fact that he's got radical huge balls. Got well.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
I'm sure there are plenty of people you can ask
in the towns that have been visited, but unbelievable. California
is difficult to ensure because of the nature of the weather.
Here we have beautiful weather, but we also suffer from
these wildfires, potential of earthquakes. That's why you have to
have earthquake insurance in some instances, certain types of fire
insurance depending on where you are, and that's not attractive
(14:11):
just from a business point of view. So you can
understand the challenges that the insurance industry faces, and that's
why some compromises are probably necessary. But what these survivors
are saying is we want to feel like we're not
being left behind here. We want to make sure that
everything is transparent and that the negotiations that are taking
place are fair. Florida deals with the same things. I mean,
(14:32):
any place at hcacular adverse weather.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I mean.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
Insurers are like, we're losing our balls here. I mean,
we can't continue doing this this way. So some concessions,
of course, have to be made. There is a price
to pay to live in a beautiful place like this, right,
Like get fair and make it open.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And a lot of people don't have a mortgage have
opted not to ensure anyway because it's too expensive.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
They just put that money away every month and hopefully
they don't go through a catastrophe.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The second deal you're working on is the Brady Bunch House.
They want to make that a You could have teased
it better than that. You just blew it. Oh my god,
all right, but it's coming up next. I want to
tell it.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Brady Famous Houses could become a historic cultural landmark in
Los Angeles in one of the Brady Kids spoke in
favor of that at a city meeting in Los Angeles today.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That story is coming up next on The Conway Show
Us Can you stay? Yeah, okay, all right, Monks is
with us. We're gonna do the Brady Bunch House next.
And by the way, I've been to the Brady Bunch House.
You have to really look at it for about an
hour to realize that it's a Brady Bunch House. It
doesn't look anything like it. And it's a one story house.
And they had stairs inside the Brady Bunch House. So
(15:40):
there's a problem there. And why were there never any
pictures of the ex husband and the ex wife? Save
it for the segment? All right, I got it, all right,
all right, I get a show on Saturday night and
all of a sudden, he's dictating this weekday show.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
This guy.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty Monks.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Should you watch it for he's grown up?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
In reruns?
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Yeah, yeah, that's This show was not actually a huge
rating success in first run, but it has had this
longevity which brings us to today. This is a show
that resonates even with people walking among us youthfully today.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Wow. And so you remember from the show the Brady House. Sure,
I've been to the Brady House probably ten to fifteen times. Well,
it's in Studio City. Yeah, here in Los Angeles. I
could take you to it. It's about four miles where
we're sitting. Yeah, it's not far at all. And it
may soon be a protected historic cultural landmark in the
city of Los Angeles. The first hurdle was cleared today,
(16:40):
is that right, Yeah, the Los Angeles Historic or Heritage
Cultural Commission, they're the ones that get the first DIBs
at all of these landmarks. Ultimately it's approved by city council,
but there's a process, and what happened today was that
very first step where a lot of evidence has presented,
a report is presented and.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
It says, is this word for further exploration? And the
answer was yes, we're going to look further into this.
And this was presented by an architect and local historian
who put all the documents together explaining why this house
is significant. But what was interesting when you get to
historic landmark, it's often iconic architecture. Something major happened there
(17:19):
at the site. Sure, this was more than just the
mid century architecture. It's a lovely mid century home. There
are a lot of examples of this, but this one's
special because of its connection to this show, even though.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
The show was not shot there. Well, the show wasn't
shot there, and I got a lot of problems with
the house. But you know, coming from you know, Ohio
and Kentucky. You know, my dad's from Ohio, your parents
are from Kentucky. Once a house reaches one hundred years old,
it gets historical protection. In some places it's fifty. Oh,
it's fifty okay, Like the house that my grandparents owned
(17:51):
was built before Abraham Lincoln was president. I mean historic,
and you can't take it down now. It's there forever.
There's a big plaque on it, and it's done. And
I think we might have talked about this before.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Los Angeles is not as old as those Western places,
at least not in terms of having this type of civilization.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
You know, the way that cities are built up.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
So if you go to any city in the Midwest
or the East coast, so whether it's a big city
or a small city, you've got tons of old Victorian
commercial architecture on their main street. That is probably protected
by various ordinances, which means you can't you can't just
not tear it down. You have to have certain windows
that go in, certain paint colors that go in. This
is to keep this home in Studio City in case
(18:34):
it ever faces the threat of demolition. There is no
imminent threat, but this is a home that resonates with
so many people, including the Brady Kids. One of the
Brady Kids, Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady, the youngest
one in Curls Right, she attended the meeting today.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
Here's what she said that Brady's represent the ideal family
where the children and parents respect each other mutually and
small but important lessons are learned in every episode. Fortunately,
the home was purchased by HGTV. As adults, we surviving Brady's,
who will always be known as the Brady Kids, became
(19:10):
involved in the effort to restore the Brady House that
make the interior match the sets that were built on
the sound stage at Paramount Studios. I thought the task
was impossible, but what the geniuses at HGTV. We did it.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
So there's two things that are important there.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
One the first part of the argument, this is a
house that means a lot to a lot of people.
That's because of how beloved the show is. And two,
the interior does now match the show.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
And while that.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Can't be considered for the historic preservation purposes, it's technically new.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Even though it's done in that old style.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
It is something that has enhanced the appeal of this house,
making it worthy of saving.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So if you do d if you ever go buy
the house and you drive by it, I know Beellio
has gone by it. She's a brady nut And it
doesn't look like there's enough room for a second story.
Looks like it's a split level house, but there's definitely
not enough room in that house to have a full
staircase like they had in the show.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
You know, they have a lot of arguments about these
types of places. In fact, just today, I was scrolling
Facebook a little earlier and I saw one of the
Seinfeld pages posted the layout of Jerry Seinfeld's apartment and
it's like, there's no way there could be a hallway
outside that. You know, Like, people get into the nuts.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
It's a TV show, it's a TV show that's fantastic.
Joy the television show, but this house.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
Sherwood Schwartz, who created the show, and his daughter spoke
at the meeting today too and support of preserving this house.
He specifically drove around Studio City and LA looking for
a house. He wanted Mike Brady, the father to be
an architect. He's like, that's one of the jobs you
never see on television at this and this is according
to his daughter who spoke today. So he went driving
around looking for house that he thought an architect might
(20:54):
live in. Oh wow, and he found that one, which
was probably about ten years old at the time, and said,
that's the one unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I mean it literally is. You know, it's off Wist
and Ventura, and I imagine the people own the house,
are you know now that it's the garden station or
hg TV or whatever it is, there's probably nobody living
in it. But when there were people living in it,
it probably was tiresome to have fifty people every day
come by and stare at your house.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
The woman who owns it does live in it. She's
start at the meeting today too, in favor of preserving
the house. She bought the house from HGTV, and she said,
speaking from her own experience. There's just something really special,
especially now that it's been redesigned to look like the interior.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Ron. I'd love to see the interior.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
They were shot on the Paramount lot, right, so they
just did those as establishing exterior shots. But you see
in everything. But now the interior looks like how she says.
When you walk in, it's almost like not just the
Brady characters, but you can see your mom's slippers by
the door, you can see your dad's glasses on the table.
It just takes you back to another time.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Come on, guys from the Woody Show Menace and Greg.
They did a tour of it about a month or
so ago. They posted it online. Was they took a
tour of the entire interior.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Wow, and it is.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
It's completely functional and set up and looks just like
it did during the Brady Show.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
And that style is that style is hip again.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
I love mid century architecture, but a lot of the
mid center and there's a lot of mid century around La.
A beautiful mid century place here, but the interiors are
all updated because people want my cooking kitchens. But a
lot of that old school mid century tiles and the
types of materials that were used in kitchens.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I love that. I would love to have a place
like this. It's weird because I can you know the
house that we grew up in Tarzana, I couldn't really
tell you what the interior looked like.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We were young when I moved.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
The cigarette smoke. Yeah, but that Brady house, I can
tell you every like every nook and cranch, where everything is.
Where the kitchen is off to the left, the living room, this,
you know, the the sunken living room when you walk
in the Jack.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
And Jill bathroom, between the kids.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Right exactly, Brady's office off to the right, you know,
Mike's office. Then upstairs. I can tell you everything about
that hut. Where do you find a sunken living room anymore?
Because you see it in midcenter. I'm a fan.
Speaker 7 (22:59):
I get a lot of mid century pictures sent to
my algorithms on Social Crozy, and I see these.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Do you have one?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Cr I do have a sunken living yw do you
sit in the house?
Speaker 7 (23:06):
I mean it's for like it's supposed to be, like
to enhance conversation, right, wasn't that the point?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yeah, yeah, we got a nice little couch in there.
I got my my drum sets set up in there,
got stereo. Yeah, but Jen's happy about the drums set. Yeah,
let's all go sit around and watch them drum in
the living room. It's an electronic drum sets. So I
just put on my headphone.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Oh nice. But Krozier has three fireplaces in his house,
does he really? And one of those is in that
sunken living room downstairs and one up in the man
Is it a mid century house? No?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Mid eighties?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Really? Yeah, it's beautiful home, great home, great for it
later it's like the it's like the perfect home for
a swingers party. Everyone ever tell you that?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he needs the bowl for the keys.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Monks. Thank you. Saturday night, seven to nine pm. I'll
be here right here on KFI. Thanks Bob. All right,
there he goes Michael Munk.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I am six forty. I'm watching David Letterman. It's the
David Letterman channel and it's I think it's called Letterman TV.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I don't know if you get it on.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Your cable or whatever you're watching at home, but it's
great to watch Letterman at the height of his career,
at the funniest he ever was, you know, before he
passed away. And to watch him, you know, do his
late night show, have these great guests on Bosa. Oh no,
(24:33):
I was talking about his comedy. Yeah, no, I know
he's alive, but his comedy is dead. Yeah, he passed away.
His comedy's passed away. He doesn't do it anymore. He
doesn't do comedy anymore. He's a serious journalist or a
serious guy. All he does every time he anytime you
(24:54):
out comedy, he's just doing. He's just doing serious grab
He's left comedy in his rear view window or whatever.
That's stupid saying is he's moved on. But to watch
Letterman when he was funny is awesome to watch. I
watched that sometimes when I get home for like two
or three hours, you know, guest after guest after guests
(25:17):
and behind the scenes and how they did all the
you know, the props and everything. It was great. The
remotes that they did, you know, when Letterman would go
out on the street and do the man on the
street stuff. It was great. And then at one point
he decided to stop doing comedy. And it's just nice
to see that. They somebody preserved his comedy before he died.
(25:40):
I mean not physically, but his comedy died, and it's
nice to see on Letterman TV. I literally watch it
for two or three hours some nights, just watch him.
It's great, it's fantastic. I don't know why I brought
that up. There was a reason. Oh oh, here's why
Marv Albert was on it. You remember Marv Albert, right Crozer. Yeah,
(26:00):
so Marv Albert had like he was. I don't know
if Rogan's Heroes was first or Marv Albert's you know,
highlight machine or whatever. Michael used to George Michael's sports machine.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
With those big ass buttons on that sports machine and
hit that button and those and those big two and
a half inch tapes would twirl around. They did anything.
But he used to show bloopers, you know. Marv Albert
would go on Letterman, go I watch this guy gets
hit by a train, you know, and watch this guy
he's choking. He doesn't die, but he gets very close.
(26:36):
But now, and but he did all sports bloopers. But now,
if somebody were to do that and go, hey, I
got a sports blooper show. Every blooper would be like,
Oh I saw that five years ago, Oh I saw
that last month, Oh I saw that two years ago.
You can't keep bloopers to yourself anymore. With the Internet.
They just get out there and all the good ones
(26:57):
are shared by everybody. So you can't do a you know,
like a Rogan's Hero or a you know, a blooper
show because everyone's already seen him. So that's over. It's over.
But it is awesome to watch a letterman man. He
(27:19):
was the best.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
He was the one that got caught with the with
the chick who used to like to get He liked
to get bit.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
In the back.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And he also wearing her panties. Yes, yeah, yeah. Does
he have a kid that also is uh? Is Chris Albert?
Or he has a kid familiar who does hockey? I
think his brother used to call hockey. Oh well, maybe
it's his brother. Yeah, maybe it's his brother. I thought
it was his kid. But he was great.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
You ever meet him Albert? What is it?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Kenny Albert? Oh, Kenny Albert. He's isn't the Rangers guy?
Or I thought I thought he was like a Ranger.
Seve Albert was is his sibling brother. Did you ever
meet him, Belly? Oh, you're big in sports? For uh?
I knew Al Albert? Who's that?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
He also was a sportscaster and he covered the NBA
in the NHL.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Great guy comedy comedy name huh, al Albert? I don't
think so. It's like Larry Lawrence?
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
He was great.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I once went to a store. I went to a store.
I was buying a ID to buy a suit for
some stupid event. And the guy that helped me was,
I don't know, it's like suits for you or you know,
how's your suit? Whatever the name of his store was.
And the guy helped me his name was Larry l
on his name tag. And I said, oh, what's the
what's your last name? He goes, Lawrence. Your name's your
(28:39):
name's Larry Lawrence. He said, yeah. I go, so it's
Larry Larry. He goes, No, No, it's Larry Lawrence. I going,
but isn't Larry short for Lawrence? He goes, I haven't
never heard that before. I said, wait, you've never heard
that Larry is short for Lawrence? He's no, I never
heard that before him, but thanks for ruining my day.
(28:59):
He want to see this in blue.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yes, Alan Albert was called basketball games for the Nets
and the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Oh so you believe him because he used Allan. He
went by al Albert.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Well I and mar I believe you too. I just
thought it was odd that al Albert and they do
have It's like Sharon Sherry Sharon now Sharon CHERRYO. It
was odd.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
I'm gonna step out of this conversation.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Yes, as she was saying, like it's a whole family, Kenny, Steve, Albert,
Marvi and Allen. I think we're all the commentators at
some point.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Bellio, if you had a sister named bell b E
lll E and her name was her name was Belle Bellio,
wouldn't that be her name is Bella Bella Bellio, Bella Bellio.
You really have a sister named Bella?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
S yes, s Now wonder you hate the Larry Lawrence
run you guys did.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
It personal for me? Got a little too close? And
you know how Sharon got her name she Wallie.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Oh right, No, it's the combination of your mom and
dad's name. Yes, your mom's name Sheila Sheila, and your
dad's name is Ron. So it's s H E R
O N. Yes, Sharon, that's classic.
Speaker 2 (30:22):

Tim Conway.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah? Where did you get your name? My? Oh? You
want to know the truth? Yeah? Okay, my mom named
me after one of her dead brothers. How about that?
Aren't you glad? You asked? So, you're a feminine junior.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
That's what they call it? Is that right, don't they?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I think that means something else.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
No, I think if you're a junior named after your mom,
But this is your mom's brothers.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Mom's brother, Tim died when he was six months and
my mom, I guess who doesn't believe in karma, called
her son first son, Tim named after her brother, who
also had tremendous complications at birth and was only given
a fifty to fifty shot of living. So thanks mom.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I had that same thing with my mom. My mom
named me after her slow brother.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Is that right? Yes?
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Very much? So thanks mom? So I feel you on that.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Oh it's so great.
