Mark Thompson's in the house.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh my gosh, thank you. Please be seated, everyone, wong.
I am overwhelmed. Yeah, great to see you Conway.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yes, yes, it's hard.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Dodger season, Dodger post season, post regular season starts to night.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
This is where the season starts all over again. That's right.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
It's six oh five. And I noticed that Clayton Kershaw
is not on the roster. He's not on the twenty
six man roster in the first series. I found that strange.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I can't believe that that's true. It's true as a start. Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Alex Stone's a bigger fan than I am, so let's
ask him. Alex Stone, how you Bob?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
But not of the Dodgers. But you know what, being
that I live in La Go Dodgers, what are you?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
A Giants fan?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I grew up an A's fan, and I know we've
talked about before. A Rockies fan. I'm sad yet again,
it's not October.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
What did they were they forty seven behind.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
They were like the almost the worst team in the
history of baseball. Well then they came very close. They're rebuilding, Yeah,
you got they've.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Been rebuilding for a long time, lean years to get
to celebrate the good years.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well, it's like the La Kings there, they started their
fifty year rebuild.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
So that'll be fun.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Yeah, they're kind of The Rockies are kind of like
the Indians in Major League you know, Willie Mays Hayes here.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, but it starts at six o'clock. You know, if
you're not in your car by now, you're not going
to get there in time to.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
See the opening.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Pen's good point. There's been a lot of traffic, all right.
So Tillie Norwood the AI. I don't want to call
her an actress because actors and actresses don't like that.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
What do we call her?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
It's a good question, because her creators are calling her
an actress. But okay, yeah, but she is not human.
So this is the issue that sag after and that
actors been talking about for a long time, that at
some point we would get AI that is good enough
that it wouldn't give you twenty five fingers and make
the crowd around you look like you have melted off
(02:07):
faces that we were going to get to where it
looked really real. And Okay, I'm sorry, Alex.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
For people who are just tuning in, can you give
a little bit of background because I don't think everybody knows.
I saw Mark's eyes here and he was wandering away.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yeah, please fill me in.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, this is a is an AI generated actress that
is going to get signed and is already generating money
and interest.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (02:27):
So yeah, So my point being that they've finally gotten
good enough that we are here and there is an
actress who well, I mean quote unquote actress that a
company says that they are ready to go and put
her out there as a as somebody who could appear
in movies. That she's got a demo reel, she's got
photos that look totally real, looks like she is a
(02:48):
real human. And her name is Tilly, and she is
so realistic and kind of the cute next door. She's
that twenty year old girl that the creator say that
they are deciding now which talent agency is going to
represent her and get her into whatever work she will
be in. So this is Tilly remember this is AI generated.
(03:10):
This is not a real woman, and this is tilling.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Let's get to know each other and thanks for watching.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
In her demo reel, and she's completely AI generated, and
it takes aspects of some of the greatest actors and
actresses in history and puts them into the perfect actress.
She has an Instagram page, she shows off her screen test.
She's got candid moments on there, like it as a
real person. And her big.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Reveal AI generated, she's.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Got a Facebook page. I mean it looks like she
is a real human, that she's got a life, and
she's got people to round her and she does fun
stuff and she shows her first time on camera and
brings the history of acting into her personality. I'm built
on everything that came before me. And she's getting real attention.
Like like I said, her creator says that now they're
working with and deciding which talent agency that they are circling,
(04:04):
all these talent agents trying to to sign her. But
this is not sitting well with the human actors here
in Hollywood. That Emily Blunt saying, quote, this is really
really scary. Come on, agencies, don't do that. Marvel Star
Simoulu walking all this saying, hey, movies are great, do
you know it would be even better if characters weren't
played by actual humans but replicas approximating human emotions. Whoopy Goldberg,
(04:27):
who I mean think of all of her movies, Ghosts
and everything else before her time on the View saying
on the View, you.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Are suddenly up again something that's been generated with five
thousand other actors. It's been given all of these you know,
it's got Betty Davis's attitude, it's got this one's, it's
got Humphrey bobots. So it's a little bit of an
unfair advantage.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And the creator says, guys that Tilly is not a
replacement for human beings, But isn't that what they told
factory workers when the robot came in? And then we're
not taking your job and this is just going to
help you out. And the creator says that that AI
characters should be part of their own genre and not
compared to or competing with, human actors. But a few
months ago, that same creator said that she wanted Tilly
(05:14):
to be the next Natalie Portman or Scarlett Johansson and
being movies, So there's this real debate of do audience's
care we are so good if our technology is so
good now the computers can do this, Is this what
the future of movies is? Or do we care that
that is a real human or not? If it looks real,
if it gives real emotions, if it makes you feel
(05:34):
when you go to the movies, will movie goers, let's say,
in ten twenty thirty years care if that's not really
a real human behind it. Yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And also, you know she can go right into porn
without hurting her career.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
No, it's so interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Years ago I went and did a story at Vivid
and they had me come by a set. They said,
you can't do this story if you don't actually see
how it makes me. Really And but that story that
we were doing was on how the porn industry has
led beta to vhs and then really vhs becoming dominant
back in the eighties because of the industry, and then
streaming came along because of the industry. They've really led
(06:11):
a lot of this now with this, not yet, but
but sure, I'm sure there's plenty that they could do
with this as well.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, the porn industry is the reason why we have
the Internet because guys who are firemen used to put
up Playboy playmates in their lockers and then they hired
women firefighters and that went away. So they had to
have another way to get around that bang, the Internet.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
So you're saying firefighters led the that's right, the createst.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Firefighters on the Internet of the reason for exactly right.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Look it up.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I think that's the stretchman. Okay, yeah, I think it
was just more of the Internet in general and not firefighters.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
But what is the accent? Is that an an Irish British?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But if the accent doesn't work for you, we can
make her Southern whatever you want.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
She could be anything. I mean, she could be Robert
Redford coming back and acting again. She could be you know,
a blonde bombshell I mean, and she could be anything that.
This is who they've created first. But you think about
not having to pay actors and actresses crews, not having
worried on multiple takes, not having to worry about whether
(07:12):
that if a company is going to individuals, yeah, one
hundred million dollars on a movie, if they put one
hundred million dollars toward computer servers and do that several
times over the ability that they have to just type in,
you know, World War one, male, brown hair, and boom,
all of a sudden, it creates it as computing power
is coming along, that this is something that's going to
(07:35):
be real enticing in at least some genres of movies,
and it's it's something that sag after and the actors
are saying.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Whoa, whoa, woa.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, it seems like kind of a thin argument that
you know, oh, we're not here to take your job.
I mean, we're here to take to everybody's job. Sure,
and as you said, the more you refine it, the
more you're looking to take, you know, even leading men
and women's jobs.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah, it's a question if the audience wants it, and
you have to believe that at some point that there
is going to be a movie company that is going
to say, a studio that's going to say, hey, let's
put it in theaters and just certain people will respond
to it or not. And then how far is it sports?
You know, I mean, if you're just sitting at home
watching it, do you care? I mean, at some point,
could they wouldn't have to pay athletes to worry about
(08:17):
ever getting injured. Yeah. Yeah, if if you were watching
the Dodgers tonight or an NFL game and it was
just entertainment, if you said, computers you decide the outcome.
We don't. Humans don't want to know the outcome. Is
it the same thing?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute. I'm with you up
until the sports thing. When sports is a live event,
there are people who are spectators there watching it, right,
and so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
But people go to watch the kids play the computer game.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Oh that's true. Okay, maybe you're right.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Now, what if the crowd that is there is computer generated. Well,
it's really a.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Whole experience that you know what, you know, what's going
to happen in ten years, there's gonna be a Hollywood
agent that is at work until eight.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Thirty at night.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
He's back on his way to Malibu, you know, he's
driving pH and his wife calls and she's like.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Hey, where are you?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And he goes, oh, I was dealing with this bee,
Tillie Norwood. She is on the phone with me all day.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
She said, I don't call her enough.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And another project went to another AI actor that she
was competing against.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
She's such a bee.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Oh and she just kept repeating, let's get.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
To know each other and thanks for watching. You know
the one thing that you you said, she could be
an actress, she could be a singer, she could be
an athlete, she could be all this the one thing
she cannot be and Ellie and Hollywood's not going to
tolerate it. She can't be an ahole, that's true. Or
also they just go for get another AI generated actress.
But I have a feeling that this that there's a
(09:43):
lot of actors and actresses right now that are scared
to death that this is the future.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Well, isn't it for a lot of industries that could before?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Okay, we've seen it in fast food, we've seen it
on airlines and you know, customer service. We've never seen
it in acting before. And this is the tip I
think of the Iceberg.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, even us right now, I could be talking to
evil Tim Conway. This isn't the real you. Yeah, I
mean we did.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
We did an AI generated five minute segment in Spanish.
We turned the show into Spanish and it was me
Bellio I think it was Mark Krozer and staff Fuje
and it sounded exactly our tone was exactly right. But
it was in Spanish, perfect Spanish, and I think you
know that's that's gonna be the future.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
What is ding dong in Spanish?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Ding dong?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
It sounds a little Italian?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
All right, buddy, thanks for coming on.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Man, have good hing dong dinga dong with that guy.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I gotta do that. I see what in the different
languages what ding dong is. I'll look that up when
we come back. I'll play a ding dong in eight
different languages. No one's going to stick through the commercials
for that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah, that may not be the ts you on.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Or we'll give up. We have money one thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Oh that's the teas you want.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Somebody could win a thousand bucks our. We're lives Conway
and Thompson. Dodgers start in one hour and forty five minutes,
so you better be in your car now if you're
going towards Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
You don't want to be late for that.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
We're live on KFI Conway and Thompson KFI Am sixty.
It is the Conway Show. Mark Thompson is here in
the house.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Are you I really want to follow up on this
ding dong thing, So before the break, you said, I
wonder what ding dong is in some.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Of these other languages.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And I'm curious myself now and wondering if you've actually
you said.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You were going to check it out. Yeah, I forgot. Sorry,
that's true, the most Conway thing ever.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
All right, let me try. Give it to me, Give
it to me.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Here's Spanish, okay for ding dong. All right, if you're
in Spain or Mexico or Central America where they speak Spanish, yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Ning dong, ding dong, that's Spanish.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Yeah, ding dong yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
No, geez ding dong. Oh yeahsh all right. And then
this one is Italian. Italian is the best one I
think so far.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
That is wonderful.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
That's what you said it would be going to the break,
Tim said, that'd be like a ding dog.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
During the break.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Sam comes in here and goes, you know, it's not
an actress. It's Ai and I'm like, I said, Sammy,
get out of here. I don't care what's wrong with you.
It's like, no, no, no, it's you got to tell you
it's not an actress and mark things it's not an actress,
like buddy.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
That segment's over. We've moved on. I love it. I
like this passion. Can't call her an actress, you know, yeah, because.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
That's the sign of a good psychologist, you know, he
doesn't give up on anybody.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Have you ever given up on a patient? No? Really, no,
you never said to get out.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
They still pay me.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Okay, well that's not the end. We were looking for
something more connected. It gives you the answer is yes. Yeah,
if you're just looking for the paycheck, then you have
given up. Great. No, of course I care about my parient.
I need that money.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I am totally ethical. Oh really, so you never get
my money? Nope, they pay like everybody else. Oh okay,
you ever have you ever had a patient come in
and say this?
Speaker 4 (13:17):

Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's like there's a little joke.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
You gotta go to here for that. You're in voiceover
and you can. You gotta go to here for a language,
thank you? All right, here's Japanese. That's closer. I like
the Italian in the Japanese. So far Japanese. Just get
to it, you know, and it's over. They have a
bullet train to catch. Yeah, here it is in uh,
let's see. How about Chinese? All right, here we go?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Ding I like it?

What happened to it?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
What happened to it?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
All right?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Here is a Korean I think it's is there a
difference between South Korean and North Korean?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
It's the language.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Korean?
Speaker 3 (15:05):

than the other ones. Yeah, it does.
Speaker 1 (15:16):

you know, they don't deaf around King. All right, let's
see what it is in. We did Chinese. How about Oh,
here's what we haven't done yet.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Ding Dong English Australian, Australian.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Let's see, by the way, the differences between North and
South Korean language. It's basically a difference between our English
and British English. It is all right, here's Australian. Let's
see if it's any maybe got an accent going there?
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Australian to ding Dong. That was Oh no, here it
is here, it is ding Dong. Now that's a try.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Farsie. Oh, that's a good one. All right, let's see, all.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Right, Farsi to English. Spell Farsie for me, I spelled
farcy f a r s I.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Is that right? It's so simple.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I like those people they are s I. I'd be
I'd be a king over there, simple man. All right,
here it is in in Farsi. They don't have it
ding Dong. Oh it's the same as English. It's forbidden.
Oh I see, yeah, can't you can't.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
You can't impersonate a door bell in the middle. O.
Interesting Swahili. Okay, that's a good one too. Yeah, let's
go give me a Swahili as okay, Swahili to English,
and let's see what ding dong is and then maybe
we'll wrap this up.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
That's possible as well. All right, ding dong. That's okay.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Here it is here, it is ding do. That's why
healing ding dong. Alright, So the winner is I think Japanese,
Korean or or Italian Italian?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, I have I have it as Italian is number one,
Chinese is number two, and it.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Was number three again that we liked English thing, all right,
but I think you're right. I think the winner is.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Italian.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I mean, that's just the best style on your ding dong. Yeah,
let's see here, let's see what this is.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
And oh here it is in Southern Italian. Southern Italian
big penies.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Oh my god, oh my god. I gotta that. You guys,
you have that. You don't know why would you have
to dump that?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
It is a clinical term in describing.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
But I just said on the air, somebody is the
F word, So thank you.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I appreciate that. Gang, I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Lean clang in Swedish?
Speaker 7 (18:07):
Yeah, is that what it is? Oh wait, all right,

I Keia to English. Okay, Swedish to English. Let's put
the ding.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Dong in here. Ding dong. All right, here we go.
This is Swedish ding dom ding doll. That's boring.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, it sucksing.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Ding dom.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
The winner is Italian, I think, yeah, I think that's
the the one we got to stick with. You know,
the Italians are great. I mean you know that's uh,
they're the only ones that have any kind of playfulness.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, they've got style.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah, that's exactly right, d dog.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Joe.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
But it sounds like everything d Like, everything in Italian
sounds like it could be a setup for a joke.
You know, like when I hear Italians U speaking, it's
always like, okay, where's the punchline?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
You know, who's the Italian directory won for a Beautiful
Life or whatever?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
The oh yeah, and then he was climbing over seats
and everything when he won the oscar.

Yeah right, there was a short guy.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, he had a he had like a one year
love affair with the media. What was his name was
robtt That's he kind of sounded like that where everything
just had that, as you say, that sort of a
sense of style, almost a musical quality.

Channel two, four, five, seven, nine eleven, they all send
(21:26):
a reporter to Chavas Ravine to do the whole update
on the Dodgers, and it happens one almost one percent
of the time. The guy or the gal doing the
report will wear a Dodger jersey, and that Dodger jersey
looks like it was purchased an hour ago. Sure, yeah,
they're not fans, right they should. You should have a
jersey that you've been that you've had in your closet.
(21:49):
It's all wrinkled up for forty years.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Oh right, right right.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You know, and and let people know you're a Dodger fan.
Not something you pulled off the rack with sequins in it.
You know, that's not a Dodger fan. It bothers me.
So the Dodgers are going to play. It's a great
time for sports because in the next week, actually the
next three weeks, you'll have baseball, football, basketball, and hockey
(22:13):
all going.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
That is great.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
And you have daytime baseball, yeah, which I really love. Yeah,
base daytime baseball. It minds me of being a kid
because all the playoffs used to be during the day,
almost all of it.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You know, you didn't get into nighttime baseball until the
World Series, and you know watching it at We talked
about this yesterday on to Portola Junior High in Tarzana,
and they'd roll a TV set out into the quad
or the lunch area and me and five you know,
geeky kids would be watching the Dodgers. Well, everybody else was.
You know, our hormones were flying around me. And I
(22:45):
can tell you who they were too. It is Jeff Lowie,
Robbie Fox, Mike Ennessey, Todd Crouch, Joey Kaplan, all of
the guys I grew up with. They all sat here
and watched these stupid TVs. You know, everybody else was
talking to girls.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
The whole game of sports on television that has been
elevated to it in so many ways to another place,
like there are many more sports bars with great, huge
monitors to watch sports and sports books, yes, sports books too,
and even your ability to watch events at home. I mean,
now we've all got big screen TVs and all this
(23:20):
just like from the time you're talking about where you
guys and you and your buddies have wheeled in the
TV to now, it's just it's a whole different technological revolution.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah. Those are black and white TVs. They
used to roll out for us, big tube TVs and
they couldn't get a reception. Constantly with the rabbit ears
trying to get the reception. Yeah, but covering the games too.
I mean, now you've got all kinds of ways. You know,
they're like six jillion cameras and sound and yeah, and
now there's not a big controversy, but there are some
(23:50):
people that are pissed that Bad Bunny is going to
be the halftime and football. Yeah, and somebody asked me.
They emailed me, said, hey, what do you think about
Bad Bunny. You know he's and THI ice, he's anti American,
he's anti he's anti Drumbell and stuff. And I said, look,
the halftime show is for people who don't like football.
(24:10):
They watch I haven't watched it a single halftime show ever.
I mean, I think Michael Jackson I saw a little
bit of that, and I don't know. I can't remember
the last time I sat and watched a halftime show.
I remember that's when you get your drink and your food,
you take a leak and you get back to the TV. Yeah,
I remember I saw Prince and I thought that was
in the rain.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Well Prince is good.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah, I do remember watching a little bit of that.
But it's it's all. If you watch, if you go
to Super Bowl party, you'll see the people that are
on the couch watching the halftime show are guys who
are not They have no money on the game and
this is maybe the first game they're watching all year.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, it's usually for people who are football fans or gamblers,
all that sort of thing, and everybody sort of gets
into this pool and boxes that you buy for Super Bowl.
That gambling thing. I'm saying, it kind of is a
your footprint than it used to be. You're right, they're
trying to figure out how they can on the second
half get the money that they lost on the first half,
you know.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Right, or they're you know, they're outside smoking cigarettes.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
All of that said, there have been some amazing halftime shows.
I mean, even from artists that I didn't know very
well or I'm not particularly a fan of. I mean,
the the halftime shows are pretty incredible. So I don't
know what this one will be like, but they have
been pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Let's find out more. Here is Bad Bunny. It's gonna
be the halftime performer at the Super.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Bowl this morning. Bad Bunny taking over football's biggest night.
The three time Grammy winner, whose real name is Benito
Antonio Martinez A Casio, will headline the Super Bowl sixty
halftime show in February, saying in a statement, what I'm
(25:51):
feeling goes beyond myself. It's for those who came before me, continuing,
this is for my people, my culture and our history,
adding in Spanish, on tell your grandma that will be
at the super Bowl halftime show. Jay Z, owner of
rock Nation which produces the show, saying what Benito has
done and continues to do for Puerto Rico is truly inspiring.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Picked up.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
This.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Bad Bunny technically made his super Bowl debut in twenty
twenty with Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. Bad Bunny, dubbed the
King of Latin Trap, is having quite the year already,
with a new album released, wrapping a sold out thirty
one show residency in his native Puerto Rico.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
That's a lot, thirty one shows in Puerto Rico sold out, go.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
Creating an economic boom in the process and becoming the
breakout star this summer as waiter turned Adam Sandler's Caddy

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yes, you go to yours?
Speaker 6 (26:56):
Okay, I'm trying, Bad Bunny calling it a dream.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'm true. There you go, dream come true.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
I made a mistake, not a mistake, but I was
in Las Vegas maybe five, six, seven years ago for
Super Bowl Sunday. And I went on Friday, and that's
a big party there all weekend Friday Saturday, and then
the game is on Sunday, and I had lost everything.
I went with all my money, and so I didn't
money to really bet on the game, and I didn't
feel comfortable betting even more money than I lost. So
(27:24):
when the ball was kicked off, I got in the
car and drove back to Los Angeles. And you know,
I'm the only guy doing that. Everybody stays for the
game and then drives back. Well about thirty five thousand
people thought they were the only guy doing that, and
it was crowded as hell. Wow, that surprises me. It
was horrible. It was horrible. That surprises me, though. And
(27:46):
it was all guys that burned out their entire wad.
So everybody was on the horn the whole way home.
You know, you pays your mother, God, almighty God, damn it,
young man yelling at me the whole way home, because guys,
you know, the ride to Vegas, everybody's high as a kite.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Sure, he can't wait to get there. It's gonna be
gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, and then you're hungover. You smell like cigarettes and
hot dogs on the way home, and everybody's farting in
the car, and everybody's burnt, and you keep got no money,
and every mile seems like a thousand.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
You know, it's like, oh God.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Where are we home?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Now we're just in you know, we're just pulling up
on you know, I'm the first gas station outside of Vegae.
Speaker 3 (28:30):

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Oh? Got them?

I got four hundred miles in this thing. But super
Bowl is bad Bunny Bad Bunny is gonna be the
halftime show of the Super Bowl.

Mark Tompson is here. Super Bowl concerns. We were talking
(29:10):
about the Super Bowl. Santa Clara is going to get
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Oh yeah, I didn't realize that. Yeah, it's at Levis
the forty nine ers play. That's right.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Remember the old Levi's song Evey Right, Shining World, I'm
(29:40):
ready for you where.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
My Levis.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
By?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
What a great song. They don't make jingles like that anymore.
I wonder why that's a great jingle.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I mean, the Levi's story is always interesting one. It
was like it was a tailor in San Francisco and
they made these work pants and they caught on. It
was in the eighteen hundreds. Really, yeah, you're an echo here?
Is that just being it's our traffic turn monitor down Randy?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, Oh there's an echo.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
It's like doing the show in the stadium.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
I consider myself like this man.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
That is one of the great things the Conway is doing.
His father Tim Conway went on The Tonight Show and
did a and what was.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
It a retiring from football? Retire from football?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
And so you hear that echo and then the echo
tweaks over a little bit and you all of a sudden,
the echo is not repeating exactly what.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
And guess you did the echo.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah, that's why I love it.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
I did the it was you. That's really I'll find it.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
It's gonna be. It really is funny, and really it
must have been fun for you to Oh it was.
It was great.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I got like one hundred and fifty one dollars for
doing it.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Did you do you remember did you feel pressure, like
not just grew up?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Your dad's a bit No, but my dad did say
before he went on, he goes, don't screw this up.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Did you have a history of having a screwed stuff up? Wow?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
No, he's just you know, he's just You have six kids,
you got to tell them all all the time, don't
have up.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah, let's let's get focused for this one.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
But Santa Cla, Santa Clair is getting the Super Bowl,
and some people don't want it.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I don't know why.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
Big Game fever is already taking over the Bay Area,
specifically in Santa Clara County and Levi Stadium as we
count down to Super Bowl sixty. The NFL picked Levi's
as the game site more than two years ago. The
game on February eighth will mark the third time the
Bay Area has played host. It is the second time
overall the Super Bowl has come to Levi's and it'll
mark the start of a very busy year for that
(31:55):
stadium and in fact the region overall, with World Cup
games also on this schedule for next summer. But not
everyone has welcomed the super Bowl takeover, with Santa Clara
Mayor Lisa Gilmour strongly objecting, citing fears Wait a minute.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
That the mayor doesn't want it.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
The mayor doesn't want the Super Bowl in her city,
That it's a it's a huge money grab.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Well, let's hear what five millions of dollars fears of what.
Speaker 9 (32:20):
Over the city's financial risk for hosting the game. Andreana
Conno was at the Mayor's State of the City addressed
tonight with a look at how the city plans to
handle everything coming its way.
Speaker 10 (32:29):
City is such incredible diversity, diversity and cultures.
Speaker 11 (32:33):
The new slogan for Santa Clara is one that's unique
to the city.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
Where the missing meets the moment.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Well, I guess they haven't spent any money on sound
systems up there.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Now where the missing meets the moment?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Ay, Sweeteye, can you stand a little further away from
the mic oh?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I thought she needed to goll them you'reing a closer.
She'd be in the mic where the missing.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Meets the moment.
Speaker 11 (32:55):
With Levi Stadium soon to take the global stage once again,
it does come with a big bill. Is expected to
cost the city over six million dollars, mostly for security
and police services for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah, but doesn't it bring in like a eight hundred million.
It brings a lot of money in. You've got a
penny restaurant at the hotels, rented cars, tickets. I think
it's well over six million, you'd thank you.
Speaker 11 (33:19):
Wednesday, Santa Clair voted on a deal that has yet
to be agreed on by the league to provide the services.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You know, if I was the commission of the NFL
and said, oh you don't want it, okay, then we'll
move it.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Does anybody else want it? Yes?
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Twenty city, twenty nine other cities.
Speaker 10 (33:34):
Wanted something the mayor voted against In twenty ten and
only in order to bring the stadium to Santa Clara,
our voters voted in Measure J, which tells us we
cannot spend any money from our general fund to support
the stadium operations, so everything that we do has to
be reimbursed.
Speaker 11 (33:54):
Mayor Lisa Gilmore says her main concern is that the
city is reimbursed for every penny, but as questions about
exactly how much the city will get and when the check.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Will come, I think that's a really short side. I
think it also is a bit of a negotiation and
sounds to me, well, it's also an opportunity for it,
you know, for a billion people to see how beautiful
your city is.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Sure, and I think that ultimately, and as you said,
there's so many commercial business interests that are going to
want the event there. But it sounds so like the
mayor is maybe posturing it and maybe a negotiation.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Yeah, I bet you know.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I'll bet a company that really wants it is Levi's,
you know, yeah, Levi's Stadium. All it's con when Thompson
(34:54):
an hour away, an hour and one minute away from
Dodgers taking the field and starting their quest for back
to back championship. Wow, in Major League based, come on,
it's gonna be great.
