Oscar-nominated screenwriter Billy Ray talks about AI creeping further into Hollywood. Spoiler alert, he is not a fan of cinematic artificial intelligence. He refers to Tilly Norwood as an “it” and not as an actress. Billy Ray believes AI hurts Hollywood and takes away middleclass jobs from behind-the-scenes movie workers, like gaffers, workaday actors and camera operators, arguing that LA is a blue-collar town. Will AI become a powerful creative ally or is it a threat to their craft and livelihoods? Ray argues for strong protections, insisting that “the public has a right to know when they’re watching something written by a human being.” The Dodgers have taken a 1:0 lead at Dodgers Stadium! Hurricane Humberto is drawing near Bermuda, thus sparing the U.S. East Coast. A nursing student at a carwash in Reseda was mugged for $4,000 while vacuuming her car, but she has a GoFundMe.

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.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
If I Am.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Sixty Conway Show. The Dodgers are about to get underway.
Mark Thompson is here, and there is a AI.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Not an actress, right, Sammy, what would you call it?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's not an actor or an actress?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
What is it? A performer on it? Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Not acting like anybody, all right? Named Tillie Norwood. And
she's getting a lot of heat, a lot of action.
She doesn't exist. It's all AI. And so I thought, hey,
let's have a buddy on on the radio. Who wrote
Captain Phillips. He also did that James call Me movie
Hunger Games, Shattered Glass, Remember that.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Movie Love Shattered Glass and Love Breach. I think he
directed and wrote Breach. It's one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
And he also he started writing for when he was younger,
for The Brady Bunch, Billy.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Ray, how you Bob Good to talk to you?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Am I right or wrong? Did you write the Brady Bunch?
You created that.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
You are not in the zip code of what I
actually wrote? It was the Jetson.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
You wrote that you wrote The Jetsons when you were
like seventeen or something, as I remember, right, nineteen.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Billy, So your yes, sir, before we even start. Okay, okay,
I think language matters, and I think to refer to
Tilly Norwood as she.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Gives her more credit. She's an it.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It is a creation of AI and and she is
something that you would you would only apply to a person.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Okay, all right, so I agree with you. But in
talking on radio, it a lot of people referring to
her as an actress. And you know, I'm I know,
ever go against the flow of the crowd. So I'm
gonna still call her an actress. Are you? Are you
(02:08):
afraid that this is the tip of the Iceberger We're
going down a really bad road for a lot of
actors and actresses.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
In twenty twenty three, when my guild, the Writer's Guild,
and a screen actors Guild sag after when they when
we all collectively went on strikes, it was it was
because of this exact threat.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I remember you talking about that. I remember you talking
about it.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I was on was it every Friday?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yes? Every week Stripe?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, we were talking about this exact threat. This is
this is a moment of opportunity for my business to
squelch something right now, because if they start to talk
about Chillie Norwood as a she instead of as an it,
(03:01):
the battle may very well be lost.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Really so, I heard that actors and actresses, producers and
directors in Hollywood are going to protest and put a
lot of heat on any agency that signs, you know, Tilly.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Norwood as they should. Do you think that they should?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, I think that might happen.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
But you know what, the industry is not just about output.
It's not just about what we produce collectively. These are
people's lives and livelihoods and families that are on the line.
You know, people when they talk about Hollywood, they think
(03:42):
about Tom Cruise, And the fact is, yes, Tom Cruise
is a part of Hollywood, but a much bigger part
of Hollywood is all of the extras and all of
the people who have one line parts and all of
the people who are step decorators and the grips and
the gaffers and the drivers and the greens people and
(04:05):
the sound people. You know, these are people who for
decades have been able to make a middle class living
in our business, and all of that is threatened by AI,
and that is all represented by this apparition Tilly norwid Right.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
The one thing that's you know, the one benefit of
having a Tilly Norwood around is you don't have all
the headaches that come along with actors and actresses being
insecure about not getting a part or you know, having
to call their agent has to call them three times
a day. Like, for instance, Paul Thomas Anderson comes out
the new movie One Battle after Another. He offered me
(04:47):
a part, and I said no, because I need a
meteor role. And so I'm going to wait for the
next Paul Thomas movie.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Okay, I think that's a very fair point. But I
would counter with and when they program an AI to
do talk radio, okay, what are you going to say.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
That, I'll call you back then and get really really
pissed off and on board.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
So look, here's the thing, and we all have to
own this collectively. When they decided to get rid of
bank tellers in favor of ATM, I didn't complain. I
didn't think, oh my god, what happens all those bank tellers?
Right when they got rid of gas station attendance, and
(05:36):
we all just sort of paid the pump and did
it ourselves. I never stopped to think, WHOA, that's a
lot of people that are going to be put out
of work. So it's hubris on my part that all
of a sudden, now that they're coming after my business,
I'm getting out rats about it. But I have to
own that because it is hubris. But the fact is
that LA is a much more blue collar town than
(06:00):
anybody outside LA understands and always has been. You know,
they're five hundred and ten thousand blue collar jobs just
in the center of LA. It's a much more blue
collar talent than people think. And AI is a threat
to all of that. Yeah, and part of what part
of the strength of that middle class of Los Angeles
(06:25):
is people who make their living as actors and extras
who aren't tmkers, who are just sort of you know,
workaday actors, and this will wipe out all of them.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So what's the move?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Happens to the economy of the.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
City, right, So, Billy, what's the move? If another one
pops up next week, and then three more pop up
before December, and then there's thirty of them next year,
and then studios decide to go that direction, what power
and what actions should the other Hollywood types take.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Okay, So in the NBA the Minimum Basic Agreement between
the Writer's Guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and
Television Producers, and in the NBA between SAD and the Alliance,
there are guardrails that are about this exact thing, and
(07:20):
there are rules and there are limitations, and the studios
are going to have to be held to those rules
and those limitations, right, and that is not negotiable.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Right, but it may not be. But it may not
be you know, Warner Brothers or MGM or Paramount. It
might be some of these small computer companies that come
into Hollywood and that are not subjected to those rules
and regulations and that contract, and they might take over
Hollywood with these AI performers.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
That is an excellent point. Thank you for pointing at out.
You're absolutely right, that is a threat. However, one of
the things that we know to be true is that
there are certain things that only human beings can do,
and one of them is act. There is no way
(08:16):
that any apparition created in Silico which is on a chip,
can do what Meryl Street can do. There's just no
version of that that's possible. And so what this may
come down to is the audience voting with their feet
(08:38):
and voting with their pocketbook and saying, we're not interested
in the movie made with the apparition called Tilly Norwood.
We want to see real actors. We want to see
movies that are written by real human beings. And I
would also argue that where I think this is going
and I'm talking completely out of my backside right now
(08:59):
because I have no proof that it's going there, But
in the same way that right now there is a
seal at the end of every movie that guarantees no
animal was harmed in the making of this motion picture,
I believe we're going to come to a place where
the Writers Guild and SAD are going to insist on
that same kind of seal at the end of every
(09:21):
movie that says this movie was not written by AI
and none of the performances in this movie are AI,
and the audience will come to expect that seal. And
if that seal isn't there because the movie was made
by some bozo computer company instead of by a real
movie studio, the audience will say, I don't want to
see a movie that doesn't have that seal.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Okay, really, Billy Ray's wells, He's written a ton of
stuff Hunger Games. Captain Phillips, I know you're on top
of this, and you're two years ahead of everybody on this,
and I know you're going to give you know, talks
in the future, in the near future, and then and
the you know, in the years to come about AI.
And I just hope in the future when you talk
(10:02):
about this, instead of using the Meryl Street reference, maybe
use Tim Conway Junior in Licorice Pizza.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Oh yeah, yeah, you could easily be replaced. It's only
two short scenes. That's replace you, Tim, that's right. Yeah,
you're the one who's ready on the shopping box.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
That's fair.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
And Buddy, I appreciate you coming on. Do you have
anything coming out you want to promote?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well, I wrote The Next Hundred. I'm pretty excited about that,
and that is shooting right now in Berlin and will
be released next Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Okay, Buddy, I look forward to it. But please come
on when that comes out, and or even before then,
and let's just keep talking about it.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Ai.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You don't have to look to find me I'm always
happy to come talk to you and waste your time
on your show.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Please come in and the next couple of weeks we
can really hash it out.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Better than the other ways we waste time on this show.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And also, I know you and I grew up by
I've known you since third grade. Huge Dodge fans, we
want another world series.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Did you know that Billy Ray had this? Did you?
And could you tell?
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Like?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
This kid is smart? And he writes, well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, he was always Well look, Billy Ray and I
used to sit in his in his room and listen
to old comedy tape.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's okay, TONI just hit a ball into tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That's all right, all right, excellent, buddy.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
That was a fastball right down the middle and he
luked it. Oh that's talking, it's mute, obviously excellent.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That's great, all right, buddy, I appreciate it. We'll talk again, thanks, Beatty.
All right, there, he goes Billy Ray. It's Conway and Thompson.
As you heard, the Dodgers have just hit a home run.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Was that a one run, two run, three run? Was
it a Grand Slam?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
What was it? Anybody?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Now?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Let me see, let me look up at Dodge solo
home run, solo home run? Wow show, Oh Tony number
fifty six, come on the year. What a guy, what
a player? I think that guy's got all right. Relyve
on Conway Thompson if I am sixth forty, it's Conway.
So Mark Tomson is here and the Dodgers have taken
(12:09):
a one nothing lead and they still have man on
first person third, I think first and second, first and
second with one outer, two outs.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
First and second with two outs.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Oh yeah, man, oh man, I'm surprised you and I
don't do sports radio.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
We're on top of it. Yeah. We really bring it
to life, don't we. That's right. That's the end of
the frame, Tim, Is that right?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Dodgers one reads nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Ah, yes, Dodger. You know it's there's a big blue
wave out there, big excitement for this game out there
at Shava's Ravine today.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Dodgers staying just outside of Dodgers Stadium as you mentioned,
and fans are eager to get it on. They're pouring
into the stadium as we speak. The big question for
you folks out there watching out with this news at this.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Hour, are you ready for the blue wave?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
I love it everything. Leo stal Wars says, I really
got to kick out of him.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
He's got great energy.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, great energy, great delivery. I really love him.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, he's a you know, when you get older, you
lose some energy. He hasn't lost anything.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Terrific.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Are you ready for the blue?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Why are you ready? Fullsome football?
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Call us greedy?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Go Dodgers. Nice job bro, all right, let's use that job.
Nice job, brol, Nice job bust job bro. Yeah, nice job.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Bro, all right? So what Yes, we're greedy.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
The Dodgers, Your Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
Our Dodgers won it all last year and we want
more of the same this year. What is it going
to take for the Dodgers to get it done? Tonight
at the Old ball Park, It's Game one of the
Dodgers National League Wildcard Series against the Cincinnati Reds. Is
it going to take a blue wave to get it done?
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Absolutely? And that blue wave is coming?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Or is it a red wave with the Reds? There's
a red wave and a blue wave. Find out.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Chris Halverson over at the historic Yummy Flip's Restaurant in
downtown LA is referring to the blue tidal wave. Fanatical
Dodger fans. You know what I'm talking about, the blue
wave and the blue wave of bloovet sees the Dodgers
sweeping the Reds and the Best of three.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
He's thinking, it's a different wave. He was talking about
the blue wave of love.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
The blue waves and the blue wave of bloove.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Blue Wave of Love. It sounds like the next Paul
Anderson movie, the Blue Wave of Love.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Hector sees the Dodgers sweeping the Reds and the Best
of three series.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Let the Reds do that, man. Yeah, see the Reds
got this right here.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
Oh it's payback to some blue get some blue blood.
Even though Hector is joking about the Red Eyes, he's
serious about the Dodgers going all blue against the Reds.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
The world champions.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Go Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
You think we can get back to back championship?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Absolutely, go Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Interesting take, go Dodgers. All right, thanks god, it is
that flat man's skin at anything. Huh Go Dodgers, Go Dodgers.
Oh thanks, that's pretty original.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
You think we can get back to back championshees absolutely,
go Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Dodgers, Go Dodgers, Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Dodgers got out of it.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
Will Hathaway is hoping his Boston Red Sox will defeat
the Yankees in that Wildcard contest. We all remember the
Dodgers whipping the Yankees in the World Series last year.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
Will's dream the Red.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Sox versus the Dodgers on the biggest stage in Major
League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
That would be great. Boston Dodgers World Series.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
That terrific.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
I want to see them in the World Series and
this Wildcard Series, or every game of this Wildcard Series
played right here at Dodgers Stadium, because.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I think that's unfair. I'm glad that it's at Dodgers Stadium,
don't get me wrong, but I think it's unfair to
play all three games in one park. You know, there's
a distinct advantage of being the home field sure, of course,
especially if it goes to Game three. You know how
loud that stadium will be. That's really tough to win three,
you know, two out of three on the road, especially
at Dodger Stadium. It's almost impossible.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
The Dodgers have the higher the higher seed, so they
have home field advantage. Hold on, y'all, smell that smell
a Dodger.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
I just weep. I just sweep, baby, I'll send it
back to you at a studio. Let's go Dodger.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Perfect weather for this too.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It's so stunning.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
You know, there's nothing like this fall weather and fall baseball.
You know, whether you're a Yankees fan like you, you know,
a Giants fan or whatever you are, what are you
a Giants fan or yeah it was a Giants fan.
Giants fan, or a Dodger fan or you know, San
Diego whatever. But to have the sun going down early,
it's not even you know, it's it's not even six thirty,
almost six thirty, and the sun's going down. And you know,
(17:01):
we got baseball, Hockey's coming up this weekend or next week.
We've got football in full swing week four in football,
Halloween coming up. This is a really great time for
the United States.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I agree. I mean, it's such a great time of year.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It really is. It's a you know, kids are in school,
you get some breathing room at home, the weather's not
one hundred and thirty degrees outside, and it's just a
great time to be in Los Angeles. I think it's
the best time of year to be in Los Angeles
is October November, you know, and December, you know where
it's not one hundred and forty degrees.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Oh yeh yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean what worries me
about December? Just to be honest with Santana.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Sanna Anna, that's right, yeah, but you're right.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
This time of year is just one. It's beautiful. It's beautiful.
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
We're live on KIM six forty. It's gone By Show.
Thompson's here, and you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI AM six forty. Kf I AM six
forty is Conway Show. The Dodgers are winning one nothing
Drew Stadium. Thompson's here. He's got a very popular YouTube
(18:04):
show called d Mark Thompson Show.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
That's it. It's free. You can subscribe and never have
to even watch, and it helps me.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, let's let's all go and sign up for that.
And yeah, you don't have to look at it.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
You don't have to look at it, and it's probably
stuff you don't want to look at anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah, at least throw me a bone.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
It's heavy politics, heavy politician news, so you don't bring
your politics.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I've gone to dinner with you or out with friends
or anything. You never you know, get out there and
try to change people's minds.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I'm not as you hottiest. I'm not.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
I'm pretty pretty mellow. But on my shows it's politics
and news. But yeah, it's called the Mark Thompson Show.
And yeah, and as you say, it's free, you subscribe
on YouTube and then again you never have to listen.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
What would the reaction be on your YouTube if you
did the entire show with a maga head on?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I think there a lot could there be a reaction?
There might be, h I think there would be a lot.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Of questions do you own a Maga hat?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Let me just.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
But that doesn't mean I tried to be as even handed.
But yeah, I'll be you know, you know it said
to you, Yeah, why are you thinking to get me
signed for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I'm thinking about it?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Oh Mega collection for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Or what's the other one? The make America Healthy Again?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Oh maha, yeah, yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Get you some of those, all right? We got a
hurricane Umberto and with high serf, high surf, and also
the forecast this sucker might hit us here, Hurricane I'm
bert Umberto.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
Seeing an example of a rare phenomenon called the Fujiwara effect,
and that's when two tropical systems that are close enough
to each other interact, they do a tropical tango, if
you will, and pull at each other. And in this case,
Umberto is helping to tow and meld it out to sea,
and it's headed toward Bermuda.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Okay, so this is the these are these two storms.
Has this ever happened in your career when you were
doing weather where two storms created one they got together
and became a huge storm.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I think so a few times, but I don't remember
the specifics.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
And you know what's weird is the Weather Channel said
that this thing was heading right to North Carolina and
South Carolina. They scared the hell out of people for
three or four days, and then today they said, oh no,
it's going to make a far going to go east,
make a sharp right, and it's gone.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Is that all the spaghetti models got it wrong? All
of them. Yeah, the European one, the Central America, the
South America, the United States, Canadian, Japanese, they all got
it wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
And you know, all of these different computer models have
their own biases. They have like a technology. It's the
same technology, but they all have different programs and they
have different biases. So that's the idea behind the the
spaghetti layout. You're able to see essentially what the biases
are and when they're all wrong. I mean, it's just
(20:45):
a shift of so many different variables, just a degree
or two man that can produce a completely different course.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
So it looks like the East coast is going to
be spared by this crazy storm, which is great, That
is fantastic. All right, we have you know, we'd like
to talk about crime, just to keep people updated on
how you should, you know, be aware of your surroundings.
This woman was at a car wash in Mesiita. We
don't one of those do it yourself. You wash the car,
(21:12):
then you move it under this awning, a tent like thing,
and then you dry it. And so she was in
the drying area. Car pulled up next to her, and
while she was vacuuming her side or wiping down her
side of the car, guy jumped into the passenger seat,
took her wallet gone. And now the money she had
taken out from Wells Fargo a couple hours before to
(21:33):
pay off a debt to a friend, that money is
now gone. It's at least believe.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
That the thieves followed her from the bank to the
car wash, then waited till she wasn't paying attention to
wrop her not once, but twice.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
You know, when you take money out of the bank,
you constantly have to watch who's around you. You have
to and there's signs in the bank telling you to
do that. You know, look around and and you know,
check out your surroundings so you don't get.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
A brazen robbery caught on camera. Watch is this white
jeep pulls up next to a woman cleaning her car
at a Resiata car wash. Well, she vacuums, someone sneaks
in and grabs her purse. The victim who goes by Anahita,
didn't hear a thing. But then the robber comes back.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
The first attempt he did he grabbed my purse and
then he did not find the money. And when I
just finished the vacuum and I put the vacuum back
to the station, he jumped into the car and then
opened the glove compartment and then took my wallet with
my all credit card and then the cash wine that
(22:38):
I get it from the bank.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Oh, this poor woman, this poor woman, you know, she
doesn't have a lot of dough, and she took out
money to repay a friend, which is the right thing
to do. And now she's out all that cat because.
Speaker 10 (22:49):
I started screaming and then I hang into the door.
The guy took the money, and then he pushed me
to the ground and then they draw me. I got
some bruises on my reb side and then scratches on
my knee because he pushed me so hard.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
She's doing everything right, you know, washing your car, get
money to repay a friend, and some ahle who didn't
want to work once everybody's money now for free, is
off with her cash.

a lot of four thousand dollars were they clearly were
taking out the bank. I mean, you know, they don't
know she's got that kind of money. Four thousand dollars

Speaker 9 (23:37):

a nearby bank, money the second year nursing school student
had saved to help bring her parents to the US

as a caregiver, and now her dream of reuniting her
family is on hold.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
Person like me works so hard for money, going to school,
going to work, and then when you're doing this, you
are ruin. You're not just ruining the person's life, you
are ruined the trust in mind, the whole community.

A friend helped set up this GoFundMe and hopes the
community will now rally around her.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
That's great, all right, Ahanita, God bless you. I'm sorry
this happened, but please don't take this out on the
entire country. We're not all a holes like that guy.
Some people are, but not all. All right, we live
on KFI. It's Conway and Thompson KFI AM six forty
is Conway show. Mark Thompson's here, and we were talking
about this woman who got robbed at a car wash
(28:13):
and she has a GoFundMe that was set at four thousand,
now it's at seven thousand.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I don't like that, that's true.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
How people can I understand getting even steven, but profiting
off it. I don't like that. But a lot of
people have been donating to this woman. Melissa Hopper, Angelica Bustos,
bus t O s Oh.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
These are the people who have contributed to Anahita's yes,
go fund me. And to be fair, remember you said
anyway that it was her friends who said up to GoFundMe,
so it might not be her raising anything.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, but she should.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I mean four thousand and that's a wrap. Dario Claudio,
Dario to Claudio, fifty bucks can shrieve s hr e V.
And these are all in the last. There's just a
couple more here, Michael Nicholson and Din Hang d I
(29:10):
n h h A n G. And those are the
ones that just donated recently to get over the Oh
I know Tim Conway Junior, eight hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
So those people. So she lost four grand in a
robbery at a gas station in Resida, and so they
put together go fundme for her. If you just oh
it's and now it's over four thousand, four thousand and
seven dollars, they should cut it off.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, it's at four thousand, four thousand seven dollars. Let's
see who put it over the top. John Farnworth, John Farnworth,
fifty bucks.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Good deal.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
That guy put it over the top. So John Farnworth,
you get an added boy, John Farnworth. I wonder if
he listened to the station. I bet he does. But
he's a listener because that that's too much of a coincidence.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
No, she kind of had a little kick once we
started talking about it.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, all right, Dodgers, what's the score?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
You gotta do your I I'm sorry I did.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I was paying my undivided attention to you, and I
can tell one nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
All right, one zip one nothing in the bottom of
the third. And Dodgers, if they win tonight, they just
have to win one more than they move on.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
They move on.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Road.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Rage is back, everybody. I know you rage occasionally.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I used to be more of a rager. Now I'm
kind of a mellow out.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You still you still drive fast? You get going?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I do, but I really think I drive pretty safely.
But I don't know, I don't like really let it rip.
Like if there are a lot of people around.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
How long ago did you drive through the valley where
you got you caught air?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Oh that was a long time ago. That was a lot.
I mean that might have been twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
What was that story?
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yeah, I was coming back from poker, right and it
was the middle of the night. It was like three
point thirty in the morning. There's no one around the
middle of the valley. Yeah, and you identified them. It
was like over these trains or something.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
And I really was driving too fast. I mean there
was no one around, but still it was just you know,
your danger to yourself at that point. But I wasn't
drunk or anything. I don't it happened you hit the tracks. Yeah,
I was driving fast. I hit the tracks. And I
actually was airborne. The only reason I know that is
because I when I landed, it was like slammed my
(31:32):
head against the roof of the car, and like like
a movie or like they've been staking it out.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
They lit me right up. There were cops right there.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
One day, one time on the air, you told that
story where you were airborne and it seemed like forever
and you look down outside of your car and you
saw the cops below you.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I remember that. I may have. I may have.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
That's that's embellishment if I said that, But I I
I definitely.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I mean I pulled right over. I said, you guys
are right.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Did they give you a ticket?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, yeah, you're lucky they didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
They were nice. They were nice. I mean, it was
it was no, it was no one around, but it's
still was it?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
LAPD?
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah, LAPD. You know.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I got pulled over by LAPD about two or three
years ago. There was a lot of crime in the
North Hills area, Chatsworth area, and I'd gone out there
a couple of times to look at a car at
car Max, and I got pulled over and the guy said,
your license plate is coming back that you've been in
this area every night for the last five nights. You
(32:34):
don't live in this area, And I said, no, I've
been going to CarMax to look for a car. And
I showed him the paperwork and the business cards from
CarMax and everything, and he let me go. But I
thought it was interesting that they track license plates at
that point, and they knew that I was coming in
and out of that area.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
That is interesting. I didn't know that they tracked that
kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yeah, it was. And then they said, you know, just uh,
you know, and I wasn't doing anything wrong. I'm just
in the area. You know, I'm sure looking to spend
money in the area. You can please back off me, Jacks.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
You know, they do have this wild technology where they're
driving along on it, and they'll pick up license plates
automatically run them.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
It's kind of wild. They can pick up hundreds. Yeah,
it's a it's a little detector on top of the car.
And as the ooh, Kiky, Hernandez just hit a three
run home run. Whoa four to one or four zero?
Make that five to one? They just hit another one
another home run. It was it Betts who comes up
(33:32):
after Kik? Was it showy again?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I didn't see who hit it, but everybody, Tommy Edmund
just hit it. I had been all right, So it's
five nothing Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
What a night to behind Dodgers stated.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Hate to be the spoiler here if you're taping the game, Sorry,
but you did warn people. Yeah we did.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
We did be keeping them.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Thompson, nice to see. We'll see you next week. You
Conway best, Bob and go Dodgers, everybody. No, Kelly also
a big Dodger fan, coming up next and his whole
crew right here on KFI A Conway show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us
live on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm
(34:10):
Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app,
It's k IF I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
If I Am.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Sixty Conway Show. The Dodgers are about to get underway.
Mark Thompson is here, and there is a AI.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Not an actress, right, Sammy, what would you call it?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's not an actor or an actress?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
What is it? A performer on it? Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Not acting like anybody, all right? Named Tillie Norwood. And
she's getting a lot of heat, a lot of action.
She doesn't exist. It's all AI. And so I thought, hey,
let's have a buddy on on the radio. Who wrote
Captain Phillips. He also did that James call Me movie
Hunger Games, Shattered Glass, Remember that.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Movie Love Shattered Glass and Love Breach. I think he
directed and wrote Breach. It's one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
And he also he started writing for when he was younger,
for The Brady Bunch, Billy.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Ray, how you Bob Good to talk to you?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Am I right or wrong? Did you write the Brady Bunch?
You created that.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
You are not in the zip code of what I
actually wrote? It was the Jetson.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
You wrote that you wrote The Jetsons when you were
like seventeen or something, as I remember, right, nineteen.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Billy, So your yes, sir, before we even start. Okay, okay,
I think language matters, and I think to refer to
Tilly Norwood as she.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Gives her more credit. She's an it.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It is a creation of AI and and she is
something that you would you would only apply to a person.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Okay, all right, so I agree with you. But in
talking on radio, it a lot of people referring to
her as an actress. And you know, I'm I know,
ever go against the flow of the crowd. So I'm
gonna still call her an actress. Are you? Are you
(02:08):
afraid that this is the tip of the Iceberger We're
going down a really bad road for a lot of
actors and actresses.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
In twenty twenty three, when my guild, the Writer's Guild,
and a screen actors Guild sag after when they when
we all collectively went on strikes, it was it was
because of this exact threat.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I remember you talking about that. I remember you talking
about it.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I was on was it every Friday?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yes? Every week Stripe?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, we were talking about this exact threat. This is
this is a moment of opportunity for my business to
squelch something right now, because if they start to talk
about Chillie Norwood as a she instead of as an it,
(03:01):
the battle may very well be lost.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Really so, I heard that actors and actresses, producers and
directors in Hollywood are going to protest and put a
lot of heat on any agency that signs, you know, Tilly.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Norwood as they should. Do you think that they should?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, I think that might happen.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
But you know what, the industry is not just about output.
It's not just about what we produce collectively. These are
people's lives and livelihoods and families that are on the line.
You know, people when they talk about Hollywood, they think
(03:42):
about Tom Cruise, And the fact is, yes, Tom Cruise
is a part of Hollywood, but a much bigger part
of Hollywood is all of the extras and all of
the people who have one line parts and all of
the people who are step decorators and the grips and
the gaffers and the drivers and the greens people and
(04:05):
the sound people. You know, these are people who for
decades have been able to make a middle class living
in our business, and all of that is threatened by AI,
and that is all represented by this apparition Tilly norwid Right.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
The one thing that's you know, the one benefit of
having a Tilly Norwood around is you don't have all
the headaches that come along with actors and actresses being
insecure about not getting a part or you know, having
to call their agent has to call them three times
a day. Like, for instance, Paul Thomas Anderson comes out
the new movie One Battle after Another. He offered me
(04:47):
a part, and I said no, because I need a
meteor role. And so I'm going to wait for the
next Paul Thomas movie.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Okay, I think that's a very fair point. But I
would counter with and when they program an AI to
do talk radio, okay, what are you going to say.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
That, I'll call you back then and get really really
pissed off and on board.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
So look, here's the thing, and we all have to
own this collectively. When they decided to get rid of
bank tellers in favor of ATM, I didn't complain. I
didn't think, oh my god, what happens all those bank tellers?
Right when they got rid of gas station attendance, and
(05:36):
we all just sort of paid the pump and did
it ourselves. I never stopped to think, WHOA, that's a
lot of people that are going to be put out
of work. So it's hubris on my part that all
of a sudden, now that they're coming after my business,
I'm getting out rats about it. But I have to
own that because it is hubris. But the fact is
that LA is a much more blue collar town than
(06:00):
anybody outside LA understands and always has been. You know,
they're five hundred and ten thousand blue collar jobs just
in the center of LA. It's a much more blue
collar talent than people think. And AI is a threat
to all of that. Yeah, and part of what part
of the strength of that middle class of Los Angeles
(06:25):
is people who make their living as actors and extras
who aren't tmkers, who are just sort of you know,
workaday actors, and this will wipe out all of them.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So what's the move?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Happens to the economy of the.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
City, right, So, Billy, what's the move? If another one
pops up next week, and then three more pop up
before December, and then there's thirty of them next year,
and then studios decide to go that direction, what power
and what actions should the other Hollywood types take.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Okay, So in the NBA the Minimum Basic Agreement between
the Writer's Guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and
Television Producers, and in the NBA between SAD and the Alliance,
there are guardrails that are about this exact thing, and
(07:20):
there are rules and there are limitations, and the studios
are going to have to be held to those rules
and those limitations, right, and that is not negotiable.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Right, but it may not be. But it may not
be you know, Warner Brothers or MGM or Paramount. It
might be some of these small computer companies that come
into Hollywood and that are not subjected to those rules
and regulations and that contract, and they might take over
Hollywood with these AI performers.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
That is an excellent point. Thank you for pointing at out.
You're absolutely right, that is a threat. However, one of
the things that we know to be true is that
there are certain things that only human beings can do,
and one of them is act. There is no way
(08:16):
that any apparition created in Silico which is on a chip,
can do what Meryl Street can do. There's just no
version of that that's possible. And so what this may
come down to is the audience voting with their feet
(08:38):
and voting with their pocketbook and saying, we're not interested
in the movie made with the apparition called Tilly Norwood.
We want to see real actors. We want to see
movies that are written by real human beings. And I
would also argue that where I think this is going
and I'm talking completely out of my backside right now
(08:59):
because I have no proof that it's going there, But
in the same way that right now there is a
seal at the end of every movie that guarantees no
animal was harmed in the making of this motion picture,
I believe we're going to come to a place where
the Writers Guild and SAD are going to insist on
that same kind of seal at the end of every
(09:21):
movie that says this movie was not written by AI
and none of the performances in this movie are AI,
and the audience will come to expect that seal. And
if that seal isn't there because the movie was made
by some bozo computer company instead of by a real
movie studio, the audience will say, I don't want to
see a movie that doesn't have that seal.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Okay, really, Billy Ray's wells, He's written a ton of
stuff Hunger Games. Captain Phillips, I know you're on top
of this, and you're two years ahead of everybody on this,
and I know you're going to give you know, talks
in the future, in the near future, and then and
the you know, in the years to come about AI.
And I just hope in the future when you talk
(10:02):
about this, instead of using the Meryl Street reference, maybe
use Tim Conway Junior in Licorice Pizza.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Oh yeah, yeah, you could easily be replaced. It's only
two short scenes. That's replace you, Tim, that's right. Yeah,
you're the one who's ready on the shopping box.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
That's fair.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
And Buddy, I appreciate you coming on. Do you have
anything coming out you want to promote?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well, I wrote The Next Hundred. I'm pretty excited about that,
and that is shooting right now in Berlin and will
be released next Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Okay, Buddy, I look forward to it. But please come
on when that comes out, and or even before then,
and let's just keep talking about it.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Ai.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You don't have to look to find me I'm always
happy to come talk to you and waste your time
on your show.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Please come in and the next couple of weeks we
can really hash it out.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Better than the other ways we waste time on this show.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And also, I know you and I grew up by
I've known you since third grade. Huge Dodge fans, we
want another world series.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Did you know that Billy Ray had this? Did you?
And could you tell?
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Like?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
This kid is smart? And he writes, well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, he was always Well look, Billy Ray and I
used to sit in his in his room and listen
to old comedy tape.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's okay, TONI just hit a ball into tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That's all right, all right, excellent, buddy.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
That was a fastball right down the middle and he
luked it. Oh that's talking, it's mute, obviously excellent.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That's great, all right, buddy, I appreciate it. We'll talk again, thanks, Beatty.
All right, there, he goes Billy Ray. It's Conway and Thompson.
As you heard, the Dodgers have just hit a home run.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Was that a one run, two run, three run? Was
it a Grand Slam?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
What was it? Anybody?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Now?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Let me see, let me look up at Dodge solo
home run, solo home run? Wow show, Oh Tony number
fifty six, come on the year. What a guy, what
a player? I think that guy's got all right. Relyve
on Conway Thompson if I am sixth forty, it's Conway.
So Mark Tomson is here and the Dodgers have taken
(12:09):
a one nothing lead and they still have man on
first person third, I think first and second, first and
second with one outer, two outs.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
First and second with two outs.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Oh yeah, man, oh man, I'm surprised you and I
don't do sports radio.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
We're on top of it. Yeah. We really bring it
to life, don't we. That's right. That's the end of
the frame, Tim, Is that right?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Dodgers one reads nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Ah, yes, Dodger. You know it's there's a big blue
wave out there, big excitement for this game out there
at Shava's Ravine today.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Dodgers staying just outside of Dodgers Stadium as you mentioned,
and fans are eager to get it on. They're pouring
into the stadium as we speak. The big question for
you folks out there watching out with this news at this.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Hour, are you ready for the blue wave?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
I love it everything. Leo stal Wars says, I really
got to kick out of him.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
He's got great energy.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, great energy, great delivery. I really love him.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, he's a you know, when you get older, you
lose some energy. He hasn't lost anything.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Terrific.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Are you ready for the blue?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Why are you ready? Fullsome football?
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Call us greedy?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Go Dodgers. Nice job bro, all right, let's use that job.
Nice job, brol, Nice job bust job bro. Yeah, nice job.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Bro, all right? So what Yes, we're greedy.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
The Dodgers, Your Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
Our Dodgers won it all last year and we want
more of the same this year. What is it going
to take for the Dodgers to get it done? Tonight
at the Old ball Park, It's Game one of the
Dodgers National League Wildcard Series against the Cincinnati Reds. Is
it going to take a blue wave to get it done?
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Absolutely? And that blue wave is coming?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Or is it a red wave with the Reds? There's
a red wave and a blue wave. Find out.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Chris Halverson over at the historic Yummy Flip's Restaurant in
downtown LA is referring to the blue tidal wave. Fanatical
Dodger fans. You know what I'm talking about, the blue
wave and the blue wave of bloovet sees the Dodgers
sweeping the Reds and the Best of three.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
He's thinking, it's a different wave. He was talking about
the blue wave of love.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
The blue waves and the blue wave of bloove.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Blue Wave of Love. It sounds like the next Paul
Anderson movie, the Blue Wave of Love.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Hector sees the Dodgers sweeping the Reds and the Best
of three series.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Let the Reds do that, man. Yeah, see the Reds
got this right here.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
Oh it's payback to some blue get some blue blood.
Even though Hector is joking about the Red Eyes, he's
serious about the Dodgers going all blue against the Reds.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
The world champions.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Go Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
You think we can get back to back championship?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Absolutely, go Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Interesting take, go Dodgers. All right, thanks god, it is
that flat man's skin at anything. Huh Go Dodgers, Go Dodgers.
Oh thanks, that's pretty original.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
You think we can get back to back championshees absolutely,
go Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Dodgers, Go Dodgers, Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Dodgers got out of it.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
Will Hathaway is hoping his Boston Red Sox will defeat
the Yankees in that Wildcard contest. We all remember the
Dodgers whipping the Yankees in the World Series last year.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
Will's dream the Red.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Sox versus the Dodgers on the biggest stage in Major
League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
That would be great. Boston Dodgers World Series.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
That terrific.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
I want to see them in the World Series and
this Wildcard Series, or every game of this Wildcard Series
played right here at Dodgers Stadium, because.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I think that's unfair. I'm glad that it's at Dodgers Stadium,
don't get me wrong, but I think it's unfair to
play all three games in one park. You know, there's
a distinct advantage of being the home field sure, of course,
especially if it goes to Game three. You know how
loud that stadium will be. That's really tough to win three,
you know, two out of three on the road, especially
at Dodger Stadium. It's almost impossible.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
The Dodgers have the higher the higher seed, so they
have home field advantage. Hold on, y'all, smell that smell
a Dodger.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
I just weep. I just sweep, baby, I'll send it
back to you at a studio. Let's go Dodger.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Perfect weather for this too.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It's so stunning.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
You know, there's nothing like this fall weather and fall baseball.
You know, whether you're a Yankees fan like you, you know,
a Giants fan or whatever you are, what are you
a Giants fan or yeah it was a Giants fan.
Giants fan, or a Dodger fan or you know, San
Diego whatever. But to have the sun going down early,
it's not even you know, it's it's not even six thirty,
almost six thirty, and the sun's going down. And you know,
(17:01):
we got baseball, Hockey's coming up this weekend or next week.
We've got football in full swing week four in football,
Halloween coming up. This is a really great time for
the United States.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I agree. I mean, it's such a great time of year.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It really is. It's a you know, kids are in school,
you get some breathing room at home, the weather's not
one hundred and thirty degrees outside, and it's just a
great time to be in Los Angeles. I think it's
the best time of year to be in Los Angeles
is October November, you know, and December, you know where
it's not one hundred and forty degrees.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Oh yeh yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean what worries me
about December? Just to be honest with Santana.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Sanna Anna, that's right, yeah, but you're right.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
This time of year is just one. It's beautiful. It's beautiful.
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
We're live on KIM six forty. It's gone By Show.
Thompson's here, and you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI AM six forty. Kf I AM six
forty is Conway Show. The Dodgers are winning one nothing
Drew Stadium. Thompson's here. He's got a very popular YouTube
(18:04):
show called d Mark Thompson Show.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
That's it. It's free. You can subscribe and never have
to even watch, and it helps me.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, let's let's all go and sign up for that.
And yeah, you don't have to look at it.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
You don't have to look at it, and it's probably
stuff you don't want to look at anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah, at least throw me a bone.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
It's heavy politics, heavy politician news, so you don't bring
your politics.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I've gone to dinner with you or out with friends
or anything. You never you know, get out there and
try to change people's minds.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I'm not as you hottiest. I'm not.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
I'm pretty pretty mellow. But on my shows it's politics
and news. But yeah, it's called the Mark Thompson Show.
And yeah, and as you say, it's free, you subscribe
on YouTube and then again you never have to listen.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
What would the reaction be on your YouTube if you
did the entire show with a maga head on?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I think there a lot could there be a reaction?
There might be, h I think there would be a lot.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Of questions do you own a Maga hat?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Let me just.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
But that doesn't mean I tried to be as even handed.
But yeah, I'll be you know, you know it said
to you, Yeah, why are you thinking to get me
signed for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I'm thinking about it?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Oh Mega collection for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Or what's the other one? The make America Healthy Again?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Oh maha, yeah, yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Get you some of those, all right? We got a
hurricane Umberto and with high serf, high surf, and also
the forecast this sucker might hit us here, Hurricane I'm
bert Umberto.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
Seeing an example of a rare phenomenon called the Fujiwara effect,
and that's when two tropical systems that are close enough
to each other interact, they do a tropical tango, if
you will, and pull at each other. And in this case,
Umberto is helping to tow and meld it out to sea,
and it's headed toward Bermuda.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Okay, so this is the these are these two storms.
Has this ever happened in your career when you were
doing weather where two storms created one they got together
and became a huge storm.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
I think so a few times, but I don't remember
the specifics.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
And you know what's weird is the Weather Channel said
that this thing was heading right to North Carolina and
South Carolina. They scared the hell out of people for
three or four days, and then today they said, oh no,
it's going to make a far going to go east,
make a sharp right, and it's gone.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Is that all the spaghetti models got it wrong? All
of them. Yeah, the European one, the Central America, the
South America, the United States, Canadian, Japanese, they all got
it wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
And you know, all of these different computer models have
their own biases. They have like a technology. It's the
same technology, but they all have different programs and they
have different biases. So that's the idea behind the the
spaghetti layout. You're able to see essentially what the biases
are and when they're all wrong. I mean, it's just
(20:45):
a shift of so many different variables, just a degree
or two man that can produce a completely different course.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
So it looks like the East coast is going to
be spared by this crazy storm, which is great, That
is fantastic. All right, we have you know, we'd like
to talk about crime, just to keep people updated on
how you should, you know, be aware of your surroundings.
This woman was at a car wash in Mesiita. We
don't one of those do it yourself. You wash the car,
(21:12):
then you move it under this awning, a tent like thing,
and then you dry it. And so she was in
the drying area. Car pulled up next to her, and
while she was vacuuming her side or wiping down her
side of the car, guy jumped into the passenger seat,
took her wallet gone. And now the money she had
taken out from Wells Fargo a couple hours before to
(21:33):
pay off a debt to a friend, that money is
now gone. It's at least believe.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
That the thieves followed her from the bank to the
car wash, then waited till she wasn't paying attention to
wrop her not once, but twice.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
You know, when you take money out of the bank,
you constantly have to watch who's around you. You have
to and there's signs in the bank telling you to
do that. You know, look around and and you know,
check out your surroundings so you don't get.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
A brazen robbery caught on camera. Watch is this white
jeep pulls up next to a woman cleaning her car
at a Resiata car wash. Well, she vacuums, someone sneaks
in and grabs her purse. The victim who goes by Anahita,
didn't hear a thing. But then the robber comes back.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
The first attempt he did he grabbed my purse and
then he did not find the money. And when I
just finished the vacuum and I put the vacuum back
to the station, he jumped into the car and then
opened the glove compartment and then took my wallet with
my all credit card and then the cash wine that
(22:38):
I get it from the bank.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Oh, this poor woman, this poor woman, you know, she
doesn't have a lot of dough, and she took out
money to repay a friend, which is the right thing
to do. And now she's out all that cat because.
Speaker 10 (22:49):
I started screaming and then I hang into the door.
The guy took the money, and then he pushed me
to the ground and then they draw me. I got
some bruises on my reb side and then scratches on
my knee because he pushed me so hard.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
She's doing everything right, you know, washing your car, get
money to repay a friend, and some ahle who didn't
want to work once everybody's money now for free, is
off with her cash.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
And I had just.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
Taken four thousand dollars in.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Can Oh my god, I didn't know that much. That's
a lot of four thousand dollars were they clearly were
taking out the bank. I mean, you know, they don't
know she's got that kind of money. Four thousand dollars
brutal and I.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
Had just taken four thousand dollars in cash out from
a nearby bank, money the second year nursing school student
had saved to help bring her parents to the US
from Iran.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Oh my god, this is horrible. This story important because
he was.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
And he just studies full time. She works full time
as a caregiver, and now her dream of reuniting her
family is on hold.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
Person like me works so hard for money, going to school,
going to work, and then when you're doing this, you
are ruin. You're not just ruining the person's life, you
are ruined the trust in mind, the whole community.
Speaker 9 (24:17):
A friend helped set up this GoFundMe and hopes the
community will now rally around her.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Please let's see what that go fundmes that pop that up.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
And hopes the community will now rally around her. Police
told her the jeep was stolen and the thieves likely
followed her from the bank to the car wash.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
So far, no one's been caught.

he's a listener because that that's too much of a coincidence.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
No, she kind of had a little kick once we
started talking about it.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, all right, Dodgers, what's the score?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
You gotta do your I I'm sorry I did.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I was paying my undivided attention to you, and I
can tell one nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
All right, one zip one nothing in the bottom of
the third. And Dodgers, if they win tonight, they just
have to win one more than they move on.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
They move on.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Road.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Rage is back, everybody. I know you rage occasionally.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
I used to be more of a rager. Now I'm
kind of a mellow out.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
You still you still drive fast? You get going?
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I do, but I really think I drive pretty safely.
But I don't know, I don't like really let it rip.
Like if there are a lot of people around.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
How long ago did you drive through the valley where
you got you caught air?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Oh that was a long time ago. That was a lot.
I mean that might have been twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
What was that story?
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yeah, I was coming back from poker, right and it
was the middle of the night. It was like three
point thirty in the morning. There's no one around the
middle of the valley. Yeah, and you identified them. It
was like over these trains or something.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
And I really was driving too fast. I mean there
was no one around, but still it was just you know,
your danger to yourself at that point. But I wasn't
drunk or anything. I don't it happened you hit the tracks. Yeah,
I was driving fast. I hit the tracks. And I
actually was airborne. The only reason I know that is
because I when I landed, it was like slammed my
(31:32):
head against the roof of the car, and like like
a movie or like they've been staking it out.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
They lit me right up. There were cops right there.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
One day, one time on the air, you told that
story where you were airborne and it seemed like forever
and you look down outside of your car and you
saw the cops below you.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I remember that. I may have. I may have.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
That's that's embellishment if I said that, But I I
I definitely.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I mean I pulled right over. I said, you guys
are right.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Did they give you a ticket?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, yeah, you're lucky they didn't.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
They were nice. They were nice. I mean, it was
it was no, it was no one around, but it's
still was it?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
LAPD?
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah, LAPD. You know.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I got pulled over by LAPD about two or three
years ago. There was a lot of crime in the
North Hills area, Chatsworth area, and I'd gone out there
a couple of times to look at a car at
car Max, and I got pulled over and the guy said,
your license plate is coming back that you've been in
this area every night for the last five nights. You
(32:34):
don't live in this area, And I said, no, I've
been going to CarMax to look for a car. And
I showed him the paperwork and the business cards from
CarMax and everything, and he let me go. But I
thought it was interesting that they track license plates at
that point, and they knew that I was coming in
and out of that area.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
That is interesting. I didn't know that they tracked that
kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yeah, it was. And then they said, you know, just uh,
you know, and I wasn't doing anything wrong. I'm just
in the area. You know, I'm sure looking to spend
money in the area. You can please back off me, Jacks.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
You know, they do have this wild technology where they're
driving along on it, and they'll pick up license plates
automatically run them.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
It's kind of wild. They can pick up hundreds. Yeah,
it's a it's a little detector on top of the car.
And as the ooh, Kiky, Hernandez just hit a three
run home run. Whoa four to one or four zero?
Make that five to one? They just hit another one
another home run. It was it Betts who comes up
(33:32):
after Kik? Was it showy again?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I didn't see who hit it, but everybody, Tommy Edmund
just hit it. I had been all right, So it's
five nothing Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
What a night to behind Dodgers stated.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Hate to be the spoiler here if you're taping the game, Sorry,
but you did warn people. Yeah we did.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
