Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We are your pals through this heat advisory, which is brutal.
The official advisory is until nine o'clock Friday. But as
Frog Krezer and I were speaking, looking at all the
various charts, we have come to the conclusion that this
heat wave, even while out of official advisory category, and
(00:30):
by the way, they can always extend the advisory, it
doesn't appear to be breaking like on Saturday, might break
a little and more dramatically later in the weekend, but
Saturday looks like another very hot day, so now through
the first part of the weekend. Dave Koontz is the
car guy on Channel seven. He's the car specialist, and man,
(00:55):
has the car market changed, And there's one massive change
when it comes to electric vehicles. You can lease some
of them for less than one hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Hi, Dave cohones, Hey, Mark, how you doing. The electric
vehicle market has had its ups and downs ever since well,
let's say Tesla came along first with their little roaster.
The Nissan jumped in in twenty eleven with the Leaf,
and most every automaker now has some kind of electric car,
even Rolls Royce. I drove an electric Rolls Royce last fall.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
What was that one?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I know that people it was pretty darn nice. Because
Rolls Royces are known to be quiet. This is the
quietest car I've ever driven. Covers. It's three hundred and
something thousand dollars, so I think you'd expect that. But
just to show that everyone's tipping their toe into the
electric vehicle market. But a big change is coming at
the end of September when that's seventy five hundred dollars
(01:49):
federal tax credit is going to go away. And I
can guarantee you that in meeting rooms of everyone who
solds electric cars in the US, there are discussions going
on what are we going to do? How are we
going to be able to do this? They're probably talking
to dealers on conference calls because that goes away. Now.
On a expensive car, seventy five hundred bucks isn't much,
but for people who are maybe looking at a forty
(02:11):
or fifty thousand dollars car, that's a big difference in
the price.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Sure, we have a Nissan Leaf and it may be
it's a super cool, dependable car. It's a little great
commuter car, although they make them now with some pretty
big batteries with like you know, longer kind of range
type thing. I you know, I also had the Tesla.
I just I don't even mention myself, but I just
happened to know in this area a little something because
(02:34):
I've been through this and we've done this dance. I've
had a couple of Teslas, and the reason I got
Tesla had to do with the charging network. To me,
it's just so much better developed and better maintained than
anybody else's. So that's why I got the Tesla. I've
let the Tesla go and but I got a different
electric car. But the electric car market, it to me,
(02:55):
is not just the incentives. It's also the range, anxiety
and availability of these charging stations, Electrify America whatever you know.
All this, Dave, And I'm wondering to what extent that
has an effect on consumers.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Well, JD Power does these surveys about pretty much everything,
and they released one last week and people's I guess,
satisfaction with public EV charging was actually up this year.
What they're not happy about is the cost because I
think there was some incentivized pricing for some of these
Electrify America, and as you probably know, a lot of
the newer evs from other makers, because they wanted to
(03:30):
be able to Tesla, wanted to be able to get in
on this whole incentivize public charging. So now a lot
of the new evs have what they called the Tesla
port it's called NACF North American Charging Standard. And then
if you go to an older thing or like I
have a level two charger at home that I've had
for a number of years, it's got a little adapter
to use that. So more and more people are being
(03:50):
able to use the Tesla network. And JD Power even
said a lot of that has to do with Tesla
being more accessible to everyone who has an electric car,
or more and more people anyway who have an electric car,
and that their systems are much more reliable. As you
may know though, if you have a Tesla, that the
cauraging stations, the superchargers are a lot more product than
they used to be because it's no longer just an
(04:11):
exclusive club of Tesla owners. It's people with other kind
of cars jumping it. So that is improving as far
as being able to go on a trip. You know.
I see blog posts from people who went if a
moderate car week last week and they drove an electric
car up and back and said, yep, plugged in here
and went in, had a coffee, no problem, jumped back out,
got in the car. So it can work, but it
kind of rests on a knife edge sometimes.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, I mean I think that's really well put. So
what's happening with the Volkswagen here. I'm seeing that there's
news out of Volkswagen.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, that that hit yesterday, and it's not the first
time something like this has happened.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
This is a vehicle that's right now only sold in Europe.
It's the Volkswagon ID three. The smallest one they sell
here now is the ID four, and of course they
have that cool bus called the ID Buzz. The ID
three they said, hey, it has so and so amount
of horsepower. Both if you'd like a little more horsepower
from the car you were going to buy, you've got
to pay a subscription to get that extra power. Well,
(05:13):
and now take it with a grain of salt. But
the comments on social media have been brutal and a
lot of people brought up the back, and I remember
this a few years ago BMW tried this. Now there's
obviously a case to be made for subscribing to some
kind of technology. GM has had a shopping thing called
Marketplace built into their cars, and you have pay ten
bucks a month or something and you can go on
there and order a pizza, do all kinds of stuff.
(05:35):
And there's these advanced cruise controls like GM Supercrews and
Ford Blue Cruise. That's kind of an active software thing,
so it needs a lot of updates and people are
paying that. BMW a few years ago really got egg
on their face when they said that you could get
a car with heated seats, you know, nice heated seats
in Witter, you'd have to pay a subscription to use them. Well,
(05:55):
you talk about backlash, So wait a minute, this is
a bunch of wiring. This isn't some connected technology. Well,
they got egg on their face. And a lot of
the comments I'm seeing on social media about this Volkswagon thing,
if you want all the horse power, you've got to
pay to subscribe to it. A lot of people are
bringing up that BMW thing. So I don't think i'd
want to work in Volkswagen public relations not going over
(06:15):
so well.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
That's wild. I mean, that's really funny. If you want
the windshield wipers, you got to subscribe seven bucks a month.
Then you'll have those wipers anytime you want them. That's
just absolutely not a.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Lot of the jokes were you know, oh, you want
to be able to lock your car, You'll have to
pay a fee for that, you know, I mean it's
a little ridiculous. But this this is the auto industry saying, look,
connected cars and having all this convenience at your feature
features at your fingertips. Well, yes, it costs us money
to develop this stuff, and it has to be maintained.
And it's two way communication with the vehicle to infrastructure,
(06:47):
so you've got to pay for that. And of course
in those advanced cruise controls. I even drove the self
driving Mercedes Benz s Flies and this is a full
self driving car that's legal. Now you can drive it
on the freeways. I drove up and down the four
or five watching a movie with the with them. Oh my,
but no you can't. It's it's legal. They've got it
all certified.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
You have to keep your hand on the wheel though, right,
just like the Tesla.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
No, no, no, not with it.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Wow, completely, Yeah, it's Mercedes been. It's only on their
two highest model sedans, the EQS Electric and then the
S Class. But that's twelve hundred bucks a year to
subscribe to that, which obviously it's interfacing with a lot
of technology and GPS and things like that. And I
suppose to the convenience of you've got one hundred and
twenty thousand dollars car and you want to be able
to drive it up and down the four or five
(07:32):
and traffic while watching a movie, maybe it's worth a
hundred box of months too.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, it's one hundred bucks a month.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Right, if you're buying a high end Benz like that,
it's probably not a big deal.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Wow, that's wild, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
But the auto industry is really kind of they're trying
to side.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
You know, what's the limit of asking people to subscribe
to things and people can google it. It's ID dot three,
it's a car. I think it's sold in most of Europe. Boy,
the backlash then the comments they're getting like are you crazy?
I'm paying for this car and it has an X
number of horsepower to use the last ten percent of it.
You want me to pay twenty two dollars a month,
(08:08):
it's get out of here.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's like as though the car is almost a receptacle
for different kinds of technology that just interacts with it.
It's truly fascinating and as you say, it's kind of
a sign of those times. Well, we'll watch for you
on Channel seven the Car Specialist, and there's a lot happening.
Dave Koons is on top of it, and I appreciate
you spending a few minutes with us on K five day.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Thank you anytime. Mark loved you guys part here.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yeah, thanks so much. That's wild.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I saw Dave's name on the GoFundMe for fush by
the way, so thank you, Thank you to Dave for
contributing to that.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It's pretty wild. The fush go fundme really got momentum
quickly and it's maintained it.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
The amount and the names on there are pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We ought to get him tomorrow or Thursday, if he's
in shape to call in. I heard him over the weekend.
I'd love to have him on the show.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
Sharon Bellaye, we can get him, Yeah, that'll be he
has a surgery on I think his fifth surgery on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
That's what he was saying.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
So maybe tomorrow tomorrow week checking.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That'd be really really cool.
Speaker 9 (09:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
All the Conway kids are here. You've got the Angel
and Krozer, and Tony's filling in for Foosh and Sharon
is managing this situation today. David Vasse bottom of the hour,
The Great Dodger, know it all. I love listening to
David Bassey.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
He's the best, he.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Really is, and he's so sweet to come through here,
you know, spend a couple of minutes with us, so.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
We'll get to all of that.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
The I don't know if you'd call this like a
cultural trend. We talked yesterday about the fact that fewer
people are drinking than used to be drinking, and so
sort of the new way in which a lot of
this next generation coming up is playing the I wish
(10:01):
there was a sommelier here to take me through whatever
the beverage is game. They are playing that game with
different kinds of designer water. Yeah, so they're literally water
menus showing up with all these different kinds of water
so you can play the you know, Cabernet Boujols Super
(10:26):
Tusken game that you would play with red wines, for example,
but you can play it with water. And so water
menus are a thing now and Tony, if you will
hit your little magic switch for me, I can do this.
Speaker 10 (10:42):
A well known restaurant in the UK is launching a
new menu that is also going viral.
Speaker 11 (10:46):
And that's because it is a full menu of water.
La Papote is a Michelin Guide eateries in Northern England,
and starting this Friday, they're going to serve six different
selections of both flat and sparkling water. They were selected
by a.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I'm gonna say flat for Krozier, you flat or sparkling?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Guy?
Speaker 6 (11:07):
I like sparkling. I mean, I'll take both, but you
know I get it if it's flat.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
You know. I'm working on Tony right now.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Looking at him, you look like a He's hose.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
You look like a flat garden hose. Yeah. No gas.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
And Sharon Belly you seem like a sparkling person to me,
I don't know. I think she's she's busy grabbing some
audio for us.
Speaker 12 (11:33):
She does have lots of gas so I think she
would choose the sparkling angel.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
You also seem like a sparkling person to me.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I mean that in a nice way, like there's an
air of sophistication about you.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 12 (11:48):
I love the sparkling water, and drop a twist of
wine in there as well.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
I'm all about that sparkling water.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
They were selected by a water so many A, and
prices range from A about.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Seven A water what currictly water?
Speaker 11 (12:03):
They were selected by a water so many A and
prices range from about seven dollars all the way up
to twenty six dollars.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
And that's for water.
Speaker 11 (12:12):
But yes, you can still get tap water that's free.
It's all part of a trend away from alcoholic.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Beffort to We talked about it, and fewer people are
drinking the hard stuff, and so now you need a
new It's always felt, let's face it, when you go
to a nicer restaurant and they go, would you like
sparkling or still, how would you like this additional twelve
dollars charge to be added in a sparkling way or
in a flat waterway, Like it almost feels like a tax,
(12:41):
you know. So it's been a way to beef up
the bottom line?
Speaker 6 (12:47):
What was the movie? Was it LA story where it
was a whole scene of that where they talked about
the water and they said, oh, they were treating exactly
like one. I want to say it was the Steve
Martin LA story.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
That's very consistent with that.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I remember there's that big scene where they're around this
round table and the camera's kind of going and you're
picking up all these different conversations.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
They're all very La kind of conversation.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, it's a super southern California thing, you know, the
different kind of water. But now, I mean it's sort
of the new game that's being played. So there's a
literally water menu and a water samolier associated with that
water menu. They're not drinking water at the Southwest bar
(13:32):
where these folks who spotted this pilot ended up. Newly
released videos showing the pilot admitting to drinking three beers
before the failed sobriety test. The authorities released this footage
of the Southwest Airlines pilot failing a sobriety test right
(13:55):
before takeoff. It happened in January, guys, fifty two years old.
It's from New Hampshire. He was taken into custody at
the Savannah Hilton had International Airport. It was around seven
a m. I mean, how committed are you to that
problem when it's seven am and you're inebriated. They had
(14:17):
gotten reports, apparently that the pilot might have been under
the influence, and when cop showed up, he was about
to pilot this southwest flight to Georgia. I said, from Georgia,
I should say, to Chicago. And he admitted that he
had had a few beers ten hours he said, before
(14:39):
the flight, and they'd asked him to clarify that, and
he was, I guess. After failing the breathalyzer test or
sobriety test, he was arrested. Flight was delayed for four hours.
They had to get another pilot. You know, passengers were
rebooked et ce. But I'd rather be rebooked and have
(15:02):
the delay than have a drunk guy flying the plane.
Of course, the FAA strictly prohibits pilots from you know,
drinking in the alcohol within eight hours of the flight,
if you were curious, that's the cutoff, and they're not
allowed to have a blood alcohol contact of four percent
or higher. So he was in violation of protocol. Apparently,
(15:27):
given the fact that he failed the sobriety test. Sounds
like everybody isn't a better place. He might have needed
a wake up call and passengers dodge a tough one there,
you know, should he have ended up actually piloting that plane.
Southern California's worst heat wave of the year. How to
(15:50):
avoid it while having to stay in town and enduring it?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
A little bit of that.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
Next, you're listening to Tim conwayture on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
So cool to hang out with all the Conway kids.
And I was mentioning before, always great to be here
at iHeartRadio where the luminaries across the iHeart family are
populating the hallway among them. He joins us now from
AM five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
How about it the great David Vassa.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Hey, Mark, Yeah, Usually I don't come on KFI unless
Tim Conway Junior is here.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
But I know you issuing a waiver this year.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
You're right there, You're right there with Conway. Where is Conway?
By the way? How long is he gonna milk the
Fousch's car accident? It wasn't he wasn't in the car accident.
It was Foushe and he's acting like he was the
guy in the car.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Well, I mean I think Fousch would respect the fact
that Conway's exploiting his tragedy. Not you, Mark, you would
never do that. No, no, no, I'm true blue. And
speaking of true blue, I mean Dodgers. You are, mister Dodgers,
And I'm asking you what the situation is with this team?
Now how many they're they're in the lead, but how
(17:06):
many games up are they?
Speaker 8 (17:08):
They were up nine games on July third, they are
now up two games.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, so where did that seven game evaporation come from?
Speaker 8 (17:17):
That's a great question. Well, on July third, they had
a nine game lead. Last Friday, going into their series
against the first place Padres, they were one game back,
but luckily they turned up the focus and swept San Diego.
So now they have a two game lead, but then
lost to one of the worst teams in baseball last night,
(17:40):
the Rockies.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
They were lucky.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
The Padres lost as well, So everything is stays status quo,
and the Dodgers and Padres will see each other one
last time starting Friday night in San Diego for the
regular season and then maybe meet up again in the postseason.
But injuries, lack of focus, load management, coasting might be
(18:03):
a word to use.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Uh took its toll. What is load management?
Speaker 8 (18:09):
It's resting guys way too much for the postseason. Like
they're all star catcher Will Smith. They have not played
him three straight calendar days, three straight calendar days more
than twice since June.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
They have because they don't want too much wear and
tear on him.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Yeah, catching is a demanding position, but still he's their
best hitter. They need him in the lineup. They've had
injuries to their starting pitching, they start to get those
guys back. Defense. I know that's not something people care
about in the NBA or Major League Baseball as much,
but defense does matter and can win or lose games.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
So there was a.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
That's right, that's right, there was Mark, Thank you for
bringing that up.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
For a guy that.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
Doesn't follow the sport, you sure know a lot about that.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I read in on some of this stuff, and I
guess there were two costly mostacs in right field and
they lost by a run.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
That's right. Taoscar Hernandez, who was a left fielder, a
much more manageable position for Tioscar Hernandez is now playing
right field for some reason and looks like he's running
in quicksand these days.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Mark, So I see it's a well, it's a weird situation.
What's happening with Mookie Betts? And Mookie Betts is mister Dodgers.
I'm reading in the La Times that he had to
meet privately with Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman, general manager.
What's happening with that, David Bessett, Well, that was fake
news in the La Times. Oh is that right?
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Yeah? Yeah, it's a fill in beat writer that's trying
to make a name for himself. And he did see
Dave Roberts Andrew Friedman, the president of Baseball Operations, in
Day's office with Mookie Betts. Door was opened, by the way,
so it wasn't a closed door meeting.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Oh, very interesting.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
And the writer inaccurately that there was a conversation about
Mooki moving to right field again. But nobody knows what
that conversation was about. And it was a little irresponsible
Mark for the writer to write that he knew what
(20:18):
the conversation was about when he did not have a
source to tell him what it was about, and he
had no concrete proof about the conversation and what took place.
Now today, manager Dave Roberts laughed it off and said,
MOOKI just was checking in. I asked him to check
in from time to time. I talked to him often,
(20:38):
and it wasn't about that. And you know what, Mark,
Mookie Betts is playing shortstop today.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
So there you go. I there you go, Mark, there
you go. You know what, don't believe everything you read.
I thank you, And I like, this is my favorite
part of you. You're a you know, you're a genial
guy with a lot of knowledge, and you've got great
relationships with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
But when somebody steps.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Out of line on the line when you're doing Dodger
talk and you get a caller and he's floating or
she's floating some craziness, sometimes you'll just you'll clap back
at him.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
And that's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
David Bassey as a somebody who's just driving along listening,
I kind.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Of love those moments, to be honest.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Well, I feel like I'm trying to picture Mark Thompson
or Tim Conway Junior driving and listening to an absurd
phone call, and instead of pretending the person is insane
and whatever they are saying is perfectly normal, how do
I respond to that? Do I just pretend like, yes, Ron, say,
(21:37):
playing third base today would be amazing. I can't do that. Mark,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I used to listen to Larry King. Larry King did
an all night show on the Mutual Broadcasting Network. Okay,
and so Larry King's there and he would house the
show with that Larry King thing that's good, and he
would take callers open phone in America and helping up
on America.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
You get everybody calling.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But then when he had a guest on, he would
open the phones also and people would call into the
Larry King Show and oftentimes they get like what you're
talking about, which is somebody like just saying stuff that's
just crazy or whatever. And when King was irritated, it
was my favorite Larry King. So he'd be going along
and you know, we're here with the Secretary of State.
(22:25):
It's big New Brazinski. Let's go to the collar, and
the collar would then go off on Larry I just
not wonder about to go. Do you have a question
for his big Nick New Brzhinsky sir, Yeah, Larry, I
do it seems to me you don't start a question.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
With it seems to me.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Sara Detroit, Hello, it was my favorite Larry King, the
irritated Larry King.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
They're making a speech and it's going nowhere. Sarah Charlottesville.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Hello, he doesn't want the show to be taken down
by some guy in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Sure, and that is something that happens when you and
you have to take on doctor Talk. You want to
hear from the fans, that's part of what and they
want to hear from you like they value you as
a source. But you're right, when you punch that button,
you've kind of turned the show over to them. So
if they're really lame and you know, blowing smoke, you've
got to cut them off exactly.
Speaker 8 (23:13):
They're part of the show. It's entertainment.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
And I hate to break this to the callers of
Dodger Talk, but you are my props for the show.
I will use you as a prop. And if you don't,
if you act like an idiot, I'm going to call
you out, call you out and plan accordingly.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
What's happening to Max Munsey, Well.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Here's see you talk about callers that don't make any sense.
To this day, when Max Munsey does something good for
the Dodgers, Tim Conway Junior will text me Max Monday
because somebody called into Dodger Talk and referenced Max Munsey
as Max Monday. Mark, this is some of the things
(23:57):
I have to deal with. I love it. Max Munsey
has a Grade one oblique strain. By the way, Mark Johnson,
he does. One of the best hitters for the Dodgers
and part of the reason why their offense is not
hitting on all cylinders. He may not be back until
mid to late September, right before the postseason.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Where is the oblique that he's trained.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's on the right side, so it's the it's right
up your upper chest area, right sure, yeah, okay, just
want to make sure we got our physiology.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
I don't think it's on his side, all right, just check.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I'm just double checking, all right.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Before I dismissed the witness, any questions from Krozer or
any other Dodgers fans, Sharon, No.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
Are doing job. Oh thank you, Sharon.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
You have a lot of fans.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
So the oblique is on the upper part of the body.
Is that right.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
That's what I understand. Krozer, thank you, Yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Know, and I like to get some basic physiology into
these conversations. Occasionally seems quite applicable given the fact that
their injuries that the Dodgers are dealing well.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
Obviously, Tim Conway Junior is very injured by somebody else's mishap.
You're referring who's going to return first, Max Munsey with
this strained oblie or Tim Conway Junior with his strained feelings.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Wow, I love this. I'm sending this to Conway.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
I was going to say this is going to be
replayed on there.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yes, Date Dong best say we love you doctor you guys. Yeah,
A five seventy LA Sports, the Great David Vass say
here on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Thompson here for Conway. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
We speaking of tomorrow. Tomorrow, we're going to have a
phosch on from his hospital bed. I think he's got
another operation coming up Thursday, so we're gonna chat with him.
Everything's on the improve, but you know, they still have
a surgery to do, and so we'll catch him tomorrow
because the surgery, as I say, is Thursday. Mark Thompson
here for Tim Conway Junior, and we are live everywhere
(25:52):
on the iHeartRadio app. It's a kind of bizarre story.
It's become, I think, somewhat viral. This Newport Road Island
Attorney General arrested. It's they were. It's unclear. The arrest
is for trespassing.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
So the police responded to a call from a restaurant
late that night and to investigate a report of an
unwanted party.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I see.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
So the trespassing is a little deceiving because it was
sort of the disturbance. I think that is what got
the cops to come out. But anyway, here they are
in an exchange that can only be called torture.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Not a good look for state prosecutor.
Speaker 13 (26:35):
Cuffed and Carter along with our equally obstinate friend after
a nightmare night out in Newport Hello again, everybody, I'm
Jean bella scent good.
Speaker 14 (26:42):
To have you with the sign Patrese Wood. The police
showed up when the assistant Attorney General and her friend
got kicked out by a restaurant quite a scene outside
the Clark cook House.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
The one thing that strikes me, and I know that
that was my business for so long that you know,
the news business, But these people are like really high.
It really is striking. I feel like la newscasters come in,
they sort of slide in, even on a big you
know these guys really.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
I just said to Tony, it almost sounds like an
snl skit.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yes, get anything, everyone.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I'm Bob whatever my name is, and she's you know,
Shirley whatever her name is. And here's what's happening. It
just it's quite I like it, quite high intensity. Yeah,
gets your attention.
Speaker 13 (27:28):
I think Carter along with her equally obstinate friend after
a nightmare night out in Newport. Hello again, everybody, I'm
Jane bellisent.
Speaker 14 (27:35):
Good to have you with Usign Patrese Wood. The police
showed up when the Assistant Attorney General and her friend
got kicked out by a restaurant. Quite a scene outside
the Clark Cookhouse. The item's Ryan Crandell is here with
the bottom.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Call them for.
Speaker 10 (27:48):
It, trace Genie. In that video, State Prosecutor Devin Hogan
Flanagan repeatedly tells officers she's an ag or Attorney General,
but her continued talking didn't get her off the hook,
got her cuffed and charged with trespassing.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Let's just leave.
Speaker 10 (28:12):
That's how the Newport police interaction with Assistant Attorney General
Devin Hogan Flann again started Thursday night. Okay, it was
outside the Clark Cookhouse where police were called. Here's an
officer talking to the host.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
You guys just wanted to tass anything we can do tresspass.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Wow, it's that bad. It's that bad. Just get them
out of here. Anything you can do, anything we can.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
Do trusspass, Yeah, I just need dress please.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
The conversation between he said, cuffham please it Wow? What
kind of mayhem or just disruption? Where they causing? There
were two of them that I saw in the video.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
They're with and you'll hear husbands or boyfriends. They're with
some other people. Only they were really resisting.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Gosh, the attitude. Where does it come from?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Here?
Speaker 4 (29:10):
We go anywhere, anything we can do.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
I just need rest past that please.
Speaker 10 (29:16):
The conversation between police Hogan flannagain and her friend Veronica
Hannon only escalated.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
You're trustpassed, so we gotta leave now unless you haven't
notified us trusting.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Number one.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
I don't want to rust you guys.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
You're not going to arrest us number two.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
We gotta go.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
But the protocol is your protocol.
Speaker 14 (29:35):
And if I ask you to turn.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
Off the body, can you have to turn it off
and that's your protocol.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
She's a lawyer, so she knows, well, that's.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Lawyer stuff, so that's not true.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
I'm an aging, I'm an aging. Good for you, let's go.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
We're going ving your hands off, children out of here,
like I don't know what.
Speaker 10 (29:57):
Officers then handcuffed Hogan Flann against I'm an ag, she says,
she is an ag.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Apparently it's a uh.
Speaker 14 (30:08):
I'm an ag.
Speaker 12 (30:10):
I'm an ag, I'm an a G.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
I'm gonna let her go.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
I mean, I have to say that she pulled that
ag thing to the point that you figured. It probably
worked for her a few times. I don't think this
is the first rodeo and I'm an a G, I'm
an ag, i'm an aging.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
But on this one he wasn't having it. It was like,
you know, it don't matter, I'm an agent.
Speaker 12 (30:34):
Start doing that. You know, I'm a traffic reporter, I'm
a gr.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
I thought you were going to say I'm an a G.
Speaker 8 (30:41):
May as well, I'll try that.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Yeah, and you know they have to know who the
AG is. I'm guessing that you know work half the time.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
I'm an aging. Good for you. Let's go, We're going.
Please put your hands off, children out of here like.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
Officers, then handcuffed Hogan Flann again. She says almost a
dozen times she's an a G. You're not hearing her
friend didn't go quietly either, even swipping out.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Of handcuffs the first time. I'm trying to keep the
cruiser door open with her feet.
Speaker 10 (31:29):
House had no comment about why that is brutal, even
slipping out of handcuffs the first time, I'm trying to
keep the cruiser door open with her feet.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Well.
Speaker 10 (31:45):
The Clark cook House had no comment about why the
two women were no longer welcome. When I called Hogan's
phone number today, a woman who answered and said no comment.
The Attorney General's Office told us Friday it was reviewing
the incident and told me today there's no update. Meanwhile,
Hannon's Laura told me she's overwhelmed and embarrassed.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
Yeah, video is on at Conway's show.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
There you go. The videos at Conway show.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
I'm in AG.
Speaker 12 (32:15):
I'm ag.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Mark Thompson here for Tim Conway Junior. So it goes.
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeart Radio app
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We are your pals through this heat advisory, which is brutal.
The official advisory is until nine o'clock Friday. But as
Frog Krezer and I were speaking, looking at all the
various charts, we have come to the conclusion that this
heat wave, even while out of official advisory category, and
(00:30):
by the way, they can always extend the advisory, it
doesn't appear to be breaking like on Saturday, might break
a little and more dramatically later in the weekend, but
Saturday looks like another very hot day, so now through
the first part of the weekend. Dave Koontz is the
car guy on Channel seven. He's the car specialist, and man,
(00:55):
has the car market changed, And there's one massive change
when it comes to electric vehicles. You can lease some
of them for less than one hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Hi, Dave cohones, Hey, Mark, how you doing. The electric
vehicle market has had its ups and downs ever since well,
let's say Tesla came along first with their little roaster.
The Nissan jumped in in twenty eleven with the Leaf,
and most every automaker now has some kind of electric car,
even Rolls Royce. I drove an electric Rolls Royce last fall.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
What was that one?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I know that people it was pretty darn nice. Because
Rolls Royces are known to be quiet. This is the
quietest car I've ever driven. Covers. It's three hundred and
something thousand dollars, so I think you'd expect that. But
just to show that everyone's tipping their toe into the
electric vehicle market. But a big change is coming at
the end of September when that's seventy five hundred dollars
(01:49):
federal tax credit is going to go away. And I
can guarantee you that in meeting rooms of everyone who
solds electric cars in the US, there are discussions going
on what are we going to do? How are we
going to be able to do this? They're probably talking
to dealers on conference calls because that goes away. Now.
On a expensive car, seventy five hundred bucks isn't much,
but for people who are maybe looking at a forty
(02:11):
or fifty thousand dollars car, that's a big difference in
the price.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Sure, we have a Nissan Leaf and it may be
it's a super cool, dependable car. It's a little great
commuter car, although they make them now with some pretty
big batteries with like you know, longer kind of range
type thing. I you know, I also had the Tesla.
I just I don't even mention myself, but I just
happened to know in this area a little something because
(02:34):
I've been through this and we've done this dance. I've
had a couple of Teslas, and the reason I got
Tesla had to do with the charging network. To me,
it's just so much better developed and better maintained than
anybody else's. So that's why I got the Tesla. I've
let the Tesla go and but I got a different
electric car. But the electric car market, it to me,
(02:55):
is not just the incentives. It's also the range, anxiety
and availability of these charging stations, Electrify America whatever you know.
All this, Dave, And I'm wondering to what extent that
has an effect on consumers.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Well, JD Power does these surveys about pretty much everything,
and they released one last week and people's I guess,
satisfaction with public EV charging was actually up this year.
What they're not happy about is the cost because I
think there was some incentivized pricing for some of these
Electrify America, and as you probably know, a lot of
the newer evs from other makers, because they wanted to
(03:30):
be able to Tesla, wanted to be able to get in
on this whole incentivize public charging. So now a lot
of the new evs have what they called the Tesla
port it's called NACF North American Charging Standard. And then
if you go to an older thing or like I
have a level two charger at home that I've had
for a number of years, it's got a little adapter
to use that. So more and more people are being
(03:50):
able to use the Tesla network. And JD Power even
said a lot of that has to do with Tesla
being more accessible to everyone who has an electric car,
or more and more people anyway who have an electric car,
and that their systems are much more reliable. As you
may know though, if you have a Tesla, that the
cauraging stations, the superchargers are a lot more product than
they used to be because it's no longer just an
(04:11):
exclusive club of Tesla owners. It's people with other kind
of cars jumping it. So that is improving as far
as being able to go on a trip. You know.
I see blog posts from people who went if a
moderate car week last week and they drove an electric
car up and back and said, yep, plugged in here
and went in, had a coffee, no problem, jumped back out,
got in the car. So it can work, but it
kind of rests on a knife edge sometimes.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, I mean I think that's really well put. So
what's happening with the Volkswagen here. I'm seeing that there's
news out of Volkswagen.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, that that hit yesterday, and it's not the first
time something like this has happened.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
This is a vehicle that's right now only sold in Europe.
It's the Volkswagon ID three. The smallest one they sell
here now is the ID four, and of course they
have that cool bus called the ID Buzz. The ID
three they said, hey, it has so and so amount
of horsepower. Both if you'd like a little more horsepower
from the car you were going to buy, you've got
to pay a subscription to get that extra power. Well,
(05:13):
and now take it with a grain of salt. But
the comments on social media have been brutal and a
lot of people brought up the back, and I remember
this a few years ago BMW tried this. Now there's
obviously a case to be made for subscribing to some
kind of technology. GM has had a shopping thing called
Marketplace built into their cars, and you have pay ten
bucks a month or something and you can go on
there and order a pizza, do all kinds of stuff.
(05:35):
And there's these advanced cruise controls like GM Supercrews and
Ford Blue Cruise. That's kind of an active software thing,
so it needs a lot of updates and people are
paying that. BMW a few years ago really got egg
on their face when they said that you could get
a car with heated seats, you know, nice heated seats
in Witter, you'd have to pay a subscription to use them. Well,
(05:55):
you talk about backlash, So wait a minute, this is
a bunch of wiring. This isn't some connected technology. Well,
they got egg on their face. And a lot of
the comments I'm seeing on social media about this Volkswagon thing,
if you want all the horse power, you've got to
pay to subscribe to it. A lot of people are
bringing up that BMW thing. So I don't think i'd
want to work in Volkswagen public relations not going over
(06:15):
so well.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
That's wild. I mean, that's really funny. If you want
the windshield wipers, you got to subscribe seven bucks a month.
Then you'll have those wipers anytime you want them. That's
just absolutely not a.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Lot of the jokes were you know, oh, you want
to be able to lock your car, You'll have to
pay a fee for that, you know, I mean it's
a little ridiculous. But this this is the auto industry saying, look,
connected cars and having all this convenience at your feature
features at your fingertips. Well, yes, it costs us money
to develop this stuff, and it has to be maintained.
And it's two way communication with the vehicle to infrastructure,
(06:47):
so you've got to pay for that. And of course
in those advanced cruise controls. I even drove the self
driving Mercedes Benz s Flies and this is a full
self driving car that's legal. Now you can drive it
on the freeways. I drove up and down the four
or five watching a movie with the with them. Oh my,
but no you can't. It's it's legal. They've got it
all certified.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
You have to keep your hand on the wheel though, right,
just like the Tesla.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
No, no, no, not with it.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Wow, completely, Yeah, it's Mercedes been. It's only on their
two highest model sedans, the EQS Electric and then the
S Class. But that's twelve hundred bucks a year to
subscribe to that, which obviously it's interfacing with a lot
of technology and GPS and things like that. And I
suppose to the convenience of you've got one hundred and
twenty thousand dollars car and you want to be able
to drive it up and down the four or five
(07:32):
and traffic while watching a movie, maybe it's worth a
hundred box of months too.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, it's one hundred bucks a month.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Right, if you're buying a high end Benz like that,
it's probably not a big deal.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Wow, that's wild, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
But the auto industry is really kind of they're trying
to side.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
You know, what's the limit of asking people to subscribe
to things and people can google it. It's ID dot three,
it's a car. I think it's sold in most of Europe. Boy,
the backlash then the comments they're getting like are you crazy?
I'm paying for this car and it has an X
number of horsepower to use the last ten percent of it.
You want me to pay twenty two dollars a month,
(08:08):
it's get out of here.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's like as though the car is almost a receptacle
for different kinds of technology that just interacts with it.
It's truly fascinating and as you say, it's kind of
a sign of those times. Well, we'll watch for you
on Channel seven the Car Specialist, and there's a lot happening.
Dave Koons is on top of it, and I appreciate
you spending a few minutes with us on K five day.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Thank you anytime. Mark loved you guys part here.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yeah, thanks so much. That's wild.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
I saw Dave's name on the GoFundMe for fush by
the way, so thank you, Thank you to Dave for
contributing to that.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It's pretty wild. The fush go fundme really got momentum
quickly and it's maintained it.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
The amount and the names on there are pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We ought to get him tomorrow or Thursday, if he's
in shape to call in. I heard him over the weekend.
I'd love to have him on the show.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
Sharon Bellaye, we can get him, Yeah, that'll be he
has a surgery on I think his fifth surgery on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
That's what he was saying.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
So maybe tomorrow tomorrow week checking.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That'd be really really cool.
Speaker 9 (09:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
All the Conway kids are here. You've got the Angel
and Krozer, and Tony's filling in for Foosh and Sharon
is managing this situation today. David Vasse bottom of the hour,
The Great Dodger, know it all. I love listening to
David Bassey.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
He's the best, he.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Really is, and he's so sweet to come through here,
you know, spend a couple of minutes with us, so.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
We'll get to all of that.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
The I don't know if you'd call this like a
cultural trend. We talked yesterday about the fact that fewer
people are drinking than used to be drinking, and so
sort of the new way in which a lot of
this next generation coming up is playing the I wish
(10:01):
there was a sommelier here to take me through whatever
the beverage is game. They are playing that game with
different kinds of designer water. Yeah, so they're literally water
menus showing up with all these different kinds of water
so you can play the you know, Cabernet Boujols Super
(10:26):
Tusken game that you would play with red wines, for example,
but you can play it with water. And so water
menus are a thing now and Tony, if you will
hit your little magic switch for me, I can do this.
Speaker 10 (10:42):
A well known restaurant in the UK is launching a
new menu that is also going viral.
Speaker 11 (10:46):
And that's because it is a full menu of water.
La Papote is a Michelin Guide eateries in Northern England,
and starting this Friday, they're going to serve six different
selections of both flat and sparkling water. They were selected
by a.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I'm gonna say flat for Krozier, you flat or sparkling?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Guy?
Speaker 6 (11:07):
I like sparkling. I mean, I'll take both, but you
know I get it if it's flat.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
You know. I'm working on Tony right now.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Looking at him, you look like a He's hose.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
You look like a flat garden hose. Yeah. No gas.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
And Sharon Belly you seem like a sparkling person to me,
I don't know. I think she's she's busy grabbing some
audio for us.
Speaker 12 (11:33):
She does have lots of gas so I think she
would choose the sparkling angel.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
You also seem like a sparkling person to me.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I mean that in a nice way, like there's an
air of sophistication about you.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 12 (11:48):
I love the sparkling water, and drop a twist of
wine in there as well.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
I'm all about that sparkling water.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
They were selected by a water so many A, and
prices range from A about.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Seven A water what currictly water?
Speaker 11 (12:03):
They were selected by a water so many A and
prices range from about seven dollars all the way up
to twenty six dollars.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
And that's for water.
Speaker 11 (12:12):
But yes, you can still get tap water that's free.
It's all part of a trend away from alcoholic.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Beffort to We talked about it, and fewer people are
drinking the hard stuff, and so now you need a
new It's always felt, let's face it, when you go
to a nicer restaurant and they go, would you like
sparkling or still, how would you like this additional twelve
dollars charge to be added in a sparkling way or
in a flat waterway, Like it almost feels like a tax,
(12:41):
you know. So it's been a way to beef up
the bottom line?
Speaker 6 (12:47):
What was the movie? Was it LA story where it
was a whole scene of that where they talked about
the water and they said, oh, they were treating exactly
like one. I want to say it was the Steve
Martin LA story.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
That's very consistent with that.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I remember there's that big scene where they're around this
round table and the camera's kind of going and you're
picking up all these different conversations.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
They're all very La kind of conversation.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, it's a super southern California thing, you know, the
different kind of water. But now, I mean it's sort
of the new game that's being played. So there's a
literally water menu and a water samolier associated with that
water menu. They're not drinking water at the Southwest bar
(13:32):
where these folks who spotted this pilot ended up. Newly
released videos showing the pilot admitting to drinking three beers
before the failed sobriety test. The authorities released this footage
of the Southwest Airlines pilot failing a sobriety test right
(13:55):
before takeoff. It happened in January, guys, fifty two years old.
It's from New Hampshire. He was taken into custody at
the Savannah Hilton had International Airport. It was around seven
a m. I mean, how committed are you to that
problem when it's seven am and you're inebriated. They had
(14:17):
gotten reports, apparently that the pilot might have been under
the influence, and when cop showed up, he was about
to pilot this southwest flight to Georgia. I said, from Georgia,
I should say, to Chicago. And he admitted that he
had had a few beers ten hours he said, before
(14:39):
the flight, and they'd asked him to clarify that, and
he was, I guess. After failing the breathalyzer test or
sobriety test, he was arrested. Flight was delayed for four hours.
They had to get another pilot. You know, passengers were
rebooked et ce. But I'd rather be rebooked and have
(15:02):
the delay than have a drunk guy flying the plane.
Of course, the FAA strictly prohibits pilots from you know,
drinking in the alcohol within eight hours of the flight,
if you were curious, that's the cutoff, and they're not
allowed to have a blood alcohol contact of four percent
or higher. So he was in violation of protocol. Apparently,
(15:27):
given the fact that he failed the sobriety test. Sounds
like everybody isn't a better place. He might have needed
a wake up call and passengers dodge a tough one there,
you know, should he have ended up actually piloting that plane.
Southern California's worst heat wave of the year. How to
(15:50):
avoid it while having to stay in town and enduring it?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
A little bit of that.
Speaker 9 (15:56):
Next, you're listening to Tim conwayture on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
So cool to hang out with all the Conway kids.
And I was mentioning before, always great to be here
at iHeartRadio where the luminaries across the iHeart family are
populating the hallway among them. He joins us now from
AM five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
How about it the great David Vassa.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Hey, Mark, Yeah, Usually I don't come on KFI unless
Tim Conway Junior is here.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
But I know you issuing a waiver this year.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
You're right there, You're right there with Conway. Where is Conway?
By the way? How long is he gonna milk the
Fousch's car accident? It wasn't he wasn't in the car accident.
It was Foushe and he's acting like he was the
guy in the car.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Well, I mean I think Fousch would respect the fact
that Conway's exploiting his tragedy. Not you, Mark, you would
never do that. No, no, no, I'm true blue. And
speaking of true blue, I mean Dodgers. You are, mister Dodgers,
And I'm asking you what the situation is with this team?
Now how many they're they're in the lead, but how
(17:06):
many games up are they?
Speaker 8 (17:08):
They were up nine games on July third, they are
now up two games.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, so where did that seven game evaporation come from?
Speaker 8 (17:17):
That's a great question. Well, on July third, they had
a nine game lead. Last Friday, going into their series
against the first place Padres, they were one game back,
but luckily they turned up the focus and swept San Diego.
So now they have a two game lead, but then
lost to one of the worst teams in baseball last night,
(17:40):
the Rockies.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
They were lucky.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
The Padres lost as well, So everything is stays status quo,
and the Dodgers and Padres will see each other one
last time starting Friday night in San Diego for the
regular season and then maybe meet up again in the postseason.
But injuries, lack of focus, load management, coasting might be
(18:03):
a word to use.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Uh took its toll. What is load management?
Speaker 8 (18:09):
It's resting guys way too much for the postseason. Like
they're all star catcher Will Smith. They have not played
him three straight calendar days, three straight calendar days more
than twice since June.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
They have because they don't want too much wear and
tear on him.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Yeah, catching is a demanding position, but still he's their
best hitter. They need him in the lineup. They've had
injuries to their starting pitching, they start to get those
guys back. Defense. I know that's not something people care
about in the NBA or Major League Baseball as much,
but defense does matter and can win or lose games.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
So there was a.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
That's right, that's right, there was Mark, Thank you for
bringing that up.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
For a guy that.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
Doesn't follow the sport, you sure know a lot about that.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I read in on some of this stuff, and I
guess there were two costly mostacs in right field and
they lost by a run.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
That's right. Taoscar Hernandez, who was a left fielder, a
much more manageable position for Tioscar Hernandez is now playing
right field for some reason and looks like he's running
in quicksand these days.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Mark, So I see it's a well, it's a weird situation.
What's happening with Mookie Betts? And Mookie Betts is mister Dodgers.
I'm reading in the La Times that he had to
meet privately with Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman, general manager.
What's happening with that, David Bessett, Well, that was fake
news in the La Times. Oh is that right?
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Yeah? Yeah, it's a fill in beat writer that's trying
to make a name for himself. And he did see
Dave Roberts Andrew Friedman, the president of Baseball Operations, in
Day's office with Mookie Betts. Door was opened, by the way,
so it wasn't a closed door meeting.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Oh, very interesting.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
And the writer inaccurately that there was a conversation about
Mooki moving to right field again. But nobody knows what
that conversation was about. And it was a little irresponsible
Mark for the writer to write that he knew what
(20:18):
the conversation was about when he did not have a
source to tell him what it was about, and he
had no concrete proof about the conversation and what took place.
Now today, manager Dave Roberts laughed it off and said,
MOOKI just was checking in. I asked him to check
in from time to time. I talked to him often,
(20:38):
and it wasn't about that. And you know what, Mark,
Mookie Betts is playing shortstop today.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
So there you go. I there you go, Mark, there
you go. You know what, don't believe everything you read.
I thank you, And I like, this is my favorite
part of you. You're a you know, you're a genial
guy with a lot of knowledge, and you've got great
relationships with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
But when somebody steps.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Out of line on the line when you're doing Dodger
talk and you get a caller and he's floating or
she's floating some craziness, sometimes you'll just you'll clap back
at him.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
And that's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
David Bassey as a somebody who's just driving along listening,
I kind.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Of love those moments, to be honest.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Well, I feel like I'm trying to picture Mark Thompson
or Tim Conway Junior driving and listening to an absurd
phone call, and instead of pretending the person is insane
and whatever they are saying is perfectly normal, how do
I respond to that? Do I just pretend like, yes, Ron, say,
(21:37):
playing third base today would be amazing. I can't do that. Mark,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I used to listen to Larry King. Larry King did
an all night show on the Mutual Broadcasting Network. Okay,
and so Larry King's there and he would house the
show with that Larry King thing that's good, and he
would take callers open phone in America and helping up
on America.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
You get everybody calling.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But then when he had a guest on, he would
open the phones also and people would call into the
Larry King Show and oftentimes they get like what you're
talking about, which is somebody like just saying stuff that's
just crazy or whatever. And when King was irritated, it
was my favorite Larry King. So he'd be going along
and you know, we're here with the Secretary of State.
(22:25):
It's big New Brazinski. Let's go to the collar, and
the collar would then go off on Larry I just
not wonder about to go. Do you have a question
for his big Nick New Brzhinsky sir, Yeah, Larry, I
do it seems to me you don't start a question.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
With it seems to me.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Sara Detroit, Hello, it was my favorite Larry King, the
irritated Larry King.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
They're making a speech and it's going nowhere. Sarah Charlottesville.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Hello, he doesn't want the show to be taken down
by some guy in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Sure, and that is something that happens when you and
you have to take on doctor Talk. You want to
hear from the fans, that's part of what and they
want to hear from you like they value you as
a source. But you're right, when you punch that button,
you've kind of turned the show over to them. So
if they're really lame and you know, blowing smoke, you've
got to cut them off exactly.
Speaker 8 (23:13):
They're part of the show. It's entertainment.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
And I hate to break this to the callers of
Dodger Talk, but you are my props for the show.
I will use you as a prop. And if you don't,
if you act like an idiot, I'm going to call
you out, call you out and plan accordingly.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
What's happening to Max Munsey, Well.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Here's see you talk about callers that don't make any sense.
To this day, when Max Munsey does something good for
the Dodgers, Tim Conway Junior will text me Max Monday
because somebody called into Dodger Talk and referenced Max Munsey
as Max Monday. Mark, this is some of the things
(23:57):
I have to deal with. I love it. Max Munsey
has a Grade one oblique strain. By the way, Mark Johnson,
he does. One of the best hitters for the Dodgers
and part of the reason why their offense is not
hitting on all cylinders. He may not be back until
mid to late September, right before the postseason.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Where is the oblique that he's trained.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's on the right side, so it's the it's right
up your upper chest area, right sure, yeah, okay, just
want to make sure we got our physiology.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
I don't think it's on his side, all right, just check.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
I'm just double checking, all right.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Before I dismissed the witness, any questions from Krozer or
any other Dodgers fans, Sharon, No.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
Are doing job. Oh thank you, Sharon.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
You have a lot of fans.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
So the oblique is on the upper part of the body.
Is that right.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
That's what I understand. Krozer, thank you, Yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Know, and I like to get some basic physiology into
these conversations. Occasionally seems quite applicable given the fact that
their injuries that the Dodgers are dealing well.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
Obviously, Tim Conway Junior is very injured by somebody else's mishap.
You're referring who's going to return first, Max Munsey with
this strained oblie or Tim Conway Junior with his strained feelings.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Wow, I love this. I'm sending this to Conway.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
I was going to say this is going to be
replayed on there.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yes, Date Dong best say we love you doctor you guys. Yeah,
A five seventy LA Sports, the Great David Vass say
here on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Thompson here for Conway. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
We speaking of tomorrow. Tomorrow, we're going to have a
phosch on from his hospital bed. I think he's got
another operation coming up Thursday, so we're gonna chat with him.
Everything's on the improve, but you know, they still have
a surgery to do, and so we'll catch him tomorrow
because the surgery, as I say, is Thursday. Mark Thompson
here for Tim Conway Junior, and we are live everywhere
(25:52):
on the iHeartRadio app. It's a kind of bizarre story.
It's become, I think, somewhat viral. This Newport Road Island
Attorney General arrested. It's they were. It's unclear. The arrest
is for trespassing.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
So the police responded to a call from a restaurant
late that night and to investigate a report of an
unwanted party.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I see.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
So the trespassing is a little deceiving because it was
sort of the disturbance. I think that is what got
the cops to come out. But anyway, here they are
in an exchange that can only be called torture.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Not a good look for state prosecutor.
Speaker 13 (26:35):
Cuffed and Carter along with our equally obstinate friend after
a nightmare night out in Newport Hello again, everybody, I'm
Jean bella scent good.
Speaker 14 (26:42):
To have you with the sign Patrese Wood. The police
showed up when the assistant Attorney General and her friend
got kicked out by a restaurant quite a scene outside
the Clark cook House.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
The one thing that strikes me, and I know that
that was my business for so long that you know,
the news business, But these people are like really high.
It really is striking. I feel like la newscasters come in,
they sort of slide in, even on a big you
know these guys really.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
I just said to Tony, it almost sounds like an
snl skit.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yes, get anything, everyone.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I'm Bob whatever my name is, and she's you know,
Shirley whatever her name is. And here's what's happening. It
just it's quite I like it, quite high intensity. Yeah,
gets your attention.
Speaker 13 (27:28):
I think Carter along with her equally obstinate friend after
a nightmare night out in Newport. Hello again, everybody, I'm
Jane bellisent.
Speaker 14 (27:35):
Good to have you with Usign Patrese Wood. The police
showed up when the Assistant Attorney General and her friend
got kicked out by a restaurant. Quite a scene outside
the Clark Cookhouse. The item's Ryan Crandell is here with
the bottom.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Call them for.
Speaker 10 (27:48):
It, trace Genie. In that video, State Prosecutor Devin Hogan
Flanagan repeatedly tells officers she's an ag or Attorney General,
but her continued talking didn't get her off the hook,
got her cuffed and charged with trespassing.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Let's just leave.
Speaker 10 (28:12):
That's how the Newport police interaction with Assistant Attorney General
Devin Hogan Flann again started Thursday night. Okay, it was
outside the Clark Cookhouse where police were called. Here's an
officer talking to the host.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
You guys just wanted to tass anything we can do tresspass.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Wow, it's that bad. It's that bad. Just get them
out of here. Anything you can do, anything we can.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
Do trusspass, Yeah, I just need dress please.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
The conversation between he said, cuffham please it Wow? What
kind of mayhem or just disruption? Where they causing? There
were two of them that I saw in the video.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
They're with and you'll hear husbands or boyfriends. They're with
some other people. Only they were really resisting.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Gosh, the attitude. Where does it come from?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Here?
Speaker 4 (29:10):
We go anywhere, anything we can do.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
I just need rest past that please.
Speaker 10 (29:16):
The conversation between police Hogan flannagain and her friend Veronica
Hannon only escalated.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
You're trustpassed, so we gotta leave now unless you haven't
notified us trusting.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Number one.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
I don't want to rust you guys.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
You're not going to arrest us number two.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
We gotta go.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
But the protocol is your protocol.
Speaker 14 (29:35):
And if I ask you to turn.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
Off the body, can you have to turn it off
and that's your protocol.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
She's a lawyer, so she knows, well, that's.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Lawyer stuff, so that's not true.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
I'm an aging, I'm an aging. Good for you, let's go.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
We're going ving your hands off, children out of here,
like I don't know what.
Speaker 10 (29:57):
Officers then handcuffed Hogan Flann against I'm an ag, she says,
she is an ag.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Apparently it's a uh.
Speaker 14 (30:08):
I'm an ag.
Speaker 12 (30:10):
I'm an ag, I'm an a G.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
I'm gonna let her go.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
I mean, I have to say that she pulled that
ag thing to the point that you figured. It probably
worked for her a few times. I don't think this
is the first rodeo and I'm an a G, I'm
an ag, i'm an aging.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
But on this one he wasn't having it. It was like,
you know, it don't matter, I'm an agent.
Speaker 12 (30:34):
Start doing that. You know, I'm a traffic reporter, I'm
a gr.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
I thought you were going to say I'm an a G.
Speaker 8 (30:41):
May as well, I'll try that.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Yeah, and you know they have to know who the
AG is. I'm guessing that you know work half the time.
Speaker 8 (30:49):
I'm an aging. Good for you. Let's go, We're going.
Please put your hands off, children out of here like.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
Officers, then handcuffed Hogan Flann again. She says almost a
dozen times she's an a G. You're not hearing her
friend didn't go quietly either, even swipping out.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Of handcuffs the first time. I'm trying to keep the
cruiser door open with her feet.
Speaker 10 (31:29):
House had no comment about why that is brutal, even
slipping out of handcuffs the first time, I'm trying to
keep the cruiser door open with her feet.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Well.
Speaker 10 (31:45):
The Clark cook House had no comment about why the
two women were no longer welcome. When I called Hogan's
phone number today, a woman who answered and said no comment.
The Attorney General's Office told us Friday it was reviewing
the incident and told me today there's no update. Meanwhile,
Hannon's Laura told me she's overwhelmed and embarrassed.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
Yeah, video is on at Conway's show.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
There you go. The videos at Conway show.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
I'm in AG.
