Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. The Dodgers
Dodger Baseball Tonight your Los Angeles Dodgers, who are I
believe tied? Or a game back in the National League West.
The Dodgers take on the Marlins at Dodgers Stated with
(00:21):
first pitch at seven pm one, I don't know fifty
four minutes from now. Listen to all the Dodgers games
on AM five to seventy LA Sports live from the
Gallup and Motors Broadcast Booth, and stream all the Dodger
games in HD on the iHeartRadio app. Keywords AM five
seventy LA Sports. You know what they're finding a lot
(00:43):
of in the burned scar in Altadena and Palisades. They're
finding a lot of burned out guns. People had shotguns
and handguns, antique guns, and they've found a lot of them.
So people are have they left their guns behind when
getting their valuables? And I get that you don't want
(01:04):
to take a gun with you in the car if
you don't have a carry permit. That's not what you
need when your neighborhood's burning down. You get pulled over
and rested for carrying a gun illegally. So everyone left
their guns behind and now LAPD has collected a lot
of them and they're looking for the owners. And some
of them are registered, so there's that going on. And
(01:27):
some of them are ghost guns. So there's a big
deal going on with the guns that were found in
the Burnscar area.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Mostly in the Palisades area.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
A lot of guns up there, a lot of guys
and gals protecting their families with guns.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Fond memories of Hughes Market when I was a kid,
My mom used to love that store, Hughes.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
I guess it was one of the first grocery stores
to have a bank in it.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Wow, I didn't know that kid.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Had free knife sharpening who.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
It was well known for incorporating isles for Asian population,
Mexican population population. There was fifty eight stores in SoCal Wow.
Pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, a lot of Hughes information all.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Right, Hollywood TV and film workers are struggling to find jobs.
And if this industry goes away, so does a lot
of people. A lot of your friends, a lot of
your family, a lot of your livelihood. It's going to
go down to drain with it. They've got to solve
this problem and keep more production here in Los Angeles
(05:21):
and in southern California. And I don't know why they're
screwing around with you.
Speaker 8 (05:25):
When Emmanuel manny Shaw first saw his name come across
a TV screen.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
My mom back in Michigan. She was on the phone
with me and we waited and waiting and waiting.
Speaker 8 (05:33):
It was season five the show This Is Us and
Nanny then a post production assistant on a hit TV
series knew he had made it, and it.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Popped up for like two seconds, but it popped up. Man.
I remember hearing her scream.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well, that's a great moment, right when your mom or
dad sees your name for the first time? Bellyod your
mom or dad ever see your name in credits?
Speaker 10 (05:53):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
What did they say? What if? Her friends?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
I was in a movie of the The Return of Ironside.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Wow, and I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, And I had a speaking part.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Oh my god, what'd you say?
Speaker 8 (06:08):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
How you doing Ironside?
Speaker 11 (06:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Inside? What's that about?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
They wanted like my ex boyfriend had done something bad
and they stopped me and want information from me.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Okay, were you good?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It was really good? Okay, yeah, really good.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
But my so we were watching it and my scene
ended and my dad was just sitting like staring at
the TV, and I'm like, you know, went to look
like why, like you know, he had no response, and
I got around.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
And he like had tears in his eyes.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, Oh that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It was sweet. My favorite moment.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That's really cool. She watched it with him, Yes, back
in Colorado. Yes, she flew back there to watch.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You with him.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
You know what, you actually got that job in Colorado.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh I see, Okay, all right, and and that's a
cool moment. You'll remember that forever.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, that was nice.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Well, we got to keep more of you around, more
of you actors.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You said, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, we got to keep this industry going here in
LA and we shouldn't have to.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Beg for it.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Two seconds proof that not just following a dream.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
No, if it was any kind of task that no
one wanted to do, hey I'll do it.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Starting from the bottom training networking.
Speaker 9 (07:19):
Say hey, Manny, I'm trying to, you know, come up
in the industry. Do you have time to chat? You know,
zoom quality?
Speaker 8 (07:25):
Quick grinding to make that dream reality could pay off.
The youngest of eleven kids, Manny learned early on the
importance of making himself stand out. He began as a
graphic designer in Detroit.
Speaker 9 (07:34):
So at the time, we were outsolcing our videos, and
I figured, hey, if you all can save money by
teaching me how to edit videos.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
Its first big TV job was a production assistant on
America's Got Talent. Hard work and tenacious networking led him
to thrive even during one of entertainment's hardest times.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
From the pandemic. I was actually bombarded with work. I
was turning jobs down.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Ten shows under his belt.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You got a cool brag. Never had that happen.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Bombarded with work, I was turning jobs down.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I've never been in that position.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I was turning jobs down.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Turning jobs down. Man oh man, like that's popular.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
Ten shows under his belt, and he had risen to
assistant editor. But then it all grinded to a halt.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
Everything was going well, and then the strikes happened.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
The writers strike.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, the writers, then the actors strike. They killed a
lot lot of business here in Lam.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
The actors strike.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
Now nearly a year and a half since the industry
was supposed to return to business as usual.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
We off reached out to people I work within the past,
from editors to supervisors, seeing people within the studios, and
everyone is saying there's nothing, there's no work.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
It's incredible. I know people who are in hair and
makeup and wardrobe. They haven't worked in a year and
a half. And one lady I know hasn't worked in
two years. Makeup artists, not once in two years.
Speaker 12 (08:52):
Right now, we've just come out of the worst year
on record excluding COVID in twenty twenty four for the
amount of on location filming happening.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
They've got to fix this problem. They have to.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
There's no bigger issue in LA right now than this problem.
This is the biggest problem right now in LA is
keeping people employed in the entertainment industry.
Speaker 12 (09:13):
And in the first quarter, as we come to a close,
it looks like twenty five is doing even worse.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
Filming was down twenty two percent for that first quarter
January through March, according to philm LA, the official film
office for the city and county, a potentially huge impact.
The California Production Coalition estimates the average locations to add
six hundred and seventy thousand and fifteen hundred jobs a
day to the local economy.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Okay, we'll come back and finish up with this. This
is too important to just ignore. This is a major
problem in Los Angeles and they have to solve it,
and they got to do it quickly. We're live on
KFI AM six forty more about this trad this emergency
is going on.
Speaker 13 (09:48):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It's Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
We have an emergency here in LA and it's film
and TV production that is has either left or it
doesn't exist anymore, and they've got to bring it back
to Los Angeles. This is our business, this is the
business of Southern California, of Los Angeles, and if it
goes away, a lot of other things are going with it.
(10:17):
So the governor has got to take this seriously. And
I don't think two billion dollars is enough. I think
it has to be ten billion in tax credits to
get this city rolling again. And it's got to happen quickly,
very quickly, or else people are going to move and
they're not coming back. You're gonna get you know, but
(10:40):
a lot of the below the line guys, the production
guys and gals are going to leave and they're not
going to come back. And you know, just for a
movie or two, they're going to permanently move or retire
or leave and take all that talent with them. So
they've got to get on the ball here and bring
production back to Los Angeles. They got to do they
(11:00):
had to do it yesterday, but they've got to do it.
I don't know in the next couple of weeks. Something
has to shake down. And again, if they don't bring
it back, a lot of these restaurants that we all
love are going to fold up and go away. They
can't stay in business without show business. So let's get
(11:22):
a little more of the information here. This is a
very very critical time in Los.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
Angeles, potentially a huge impact. The California Production Coalition estimates
the average locations to add six hundred and seventy thousand
and fifteen hundred jobs a day to the local economy.
Paul Audley is the president of PHILM LA. Are there
fewer productions in general or are there just fewer productions in LA.
Speaker 12 (11:44):
So there's a combination of factors. So globally, everybody is
talking about not getting enough work anymore, even the major centers,
because the streamers and others have pulled back. The networks
have shortened the seasons a number of episodes, and.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
So there's a lot less work to be had.
Speaker 12 (12:00):
And then you come back to LA and California is
just not competing with the tax credits.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
We met all the in front of Pasadena's first United
Methodist church. This and other LA locations remained popular for filming.
Audis As, California is now six in the world for filming,
behind Toronto, the United Kingdom, Vancouver, Central Europe.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
We're behind Toronto in filming. We're behind Toronto, Canada in
filming where they can't even really film half the year
Exince too, Damn.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
Paul audace As, California is now six in the world
for filming, behind Toronto, the United Kingdom, Vancouver, Central Europe,
and Australia. Some emerging film hubs that built up their
own worker base.
Speaker 12 (12:38):
And so the local folks in Georgia and New York
and Toronto.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, George's taking a huge, huge amount of production way
f of Melle all right.
Speaker 12 (12:46):
Now, filling all the positions and they don't have to
import people anymore.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
Meanwhile, I have done jobs from you know, coning podcasts
with people, to Janitoia work, you know, my church dog set,
walking dog man.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
He's been doing everything he can to stay in his
home and in his industry.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
It's humbling, disheartening.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
Going through all the schooling, going through all the trainings,
doing all the networking, doing all the shows, feeling like
I've finally done it. I have the background, I have
the skills, I have the qualifications.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I'm here.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
I'm good being told you're such a good assistant editor,
you know. Hearing all those things, and then coming to
where we're at now, where I can't find a job.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
It's horrible.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
It's horrible, But you know what, I have to say
that I think the production is going to come back
because Warner Brothers is not a stupid company, and they
just leveled their Warner Brothers Rancho Lot, which is on
the corner of Hollywood Way and verd Go and they
built i think four major sound stages there, an office
(13:56):
and production space. So Warner Brothers wouldn't have built that
if they didn't know that there was going to be
a resurgence in production here in La So I think
it's coming and I think that's a good indication that
it's coming back. But it's got to come back soon
because if not again, a lot of these people are
going to be leaving and they ain't coming back, and
(14:19):
all that talent is moving away. And remember when they
used to film in Georgia or in Toronto, they used
to have to bring in all the talent. They have
to bring in the camera mem the assistant directors, the
lighting guys. They have to fly everybody in from LA.
And now, according to this story we just heard, they've
built up their own database of talented people who live
(14:44):
in Georgia and live in Toronto and Vancouver, so it
makes it even less expensive for them to shoot there.
But how the hell did Georgia take away all of
our business? How do we drop the ball in that big,
huge major w How do we let that happen?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I don't know, but somebody was not keeping an eye
on it. And now it's pressure time and it's got
to happen soon.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Tonight the Dodgers take on the Marlins the Dodgers Stadium.
First pitch is at seven o'clock, which is in about
a half hour. Listen all the Dodger games on AM
five to seventy LA Sports and stream all Dodger games
and HD on the iHeartRadio app. Keywords AM five seventy
LA Sports. Zench Sushi hand crafted sushi made fresh daily
at Ralph's near the deli counter. I always hear Tim
(15:35):
Kates talk about that. Is it constantly walking around with
that Zenchi handcrafted sushi. Loves it, man loves that sushi.
All right, doll, we're live. King's going to night as well.
Kings are going to start that game. I believe it's seven,
the little after seven o'clock. So you got the Kings
and the Dodgers clip playing and the Clippers. Wow, man,
what a sports day? All right, I'm gonna say, do win,
(16:01):
Clippers win, Kings lose.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Well, you're not placing a bet, are you?
Speaker 8 (16:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Oh, well, then they got a chance.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
If I bet on the Kings to win, they'll lose. Right,
So if I bet on Edmonton to win, Edmonton will lose.
That's what I gotta do. I gotta go home and
make a bet on Edmonton. That's how I did it.
In twenty twelve, we won the first Cup. Every single
game I bet against the Kings lost a fortune. But
the King's got a Stanley Cup. And they never called
me to thank me. By the way, but I gave
(16:34):
this city the twenty twenty twelve The twenty twelve Stanley
Cup was not because the team was good, not because
they beat all the other teams.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It was because of me.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I bet against the Kings every single game and it
costs me a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
But we got a Stanley Cup. So you're welcome.
Speaker 13 (16:54):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
It is The Conway Show. All right, got some talkbacks.
But before we get to that, Clay Row I like
that echo, Actually I did. Like it's like being at
Dodger Stadium today. I consider myself.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Like his man, man man.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
The face of the earth, Clay Row, who does the
promos around here. I think today will be the one
thousandth promo he's done for our show, because last night
Steph fuge you even noticed that the one that came
in last night was nine hundred and ninety nine I did.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, so in.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Four years he did a thousand promos for us. Yep, Wow,
that's a lot.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Lot.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
That's a hell of a lot, a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, that's one of like a lot, it's like a
lot of It's one every day, you know, on weekdays.
So we have fifteen there each fifteen seconds. What was
the promo run?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Do you or take? Yeah? Twenty twenty seconds?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Oh, twenty second, twenty five seconds, yeah, all right, twenty
let's go twenty all right, we have twenty thousand minutes.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
We're not going to play them all now, are divide.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
That by sixty? Is women? We have twenty thousand women.
If there's if there's a thousand promos and each one
is twenty seconds, that's twenty thousand seconds of promos. And
then you divide that by sixty, Is that three hundred
(18:37):
and thirty hours of promos? That can't be? That can't
possibly be. I'm screwing this up somehow. No, it's three
hundred and thirty three minutes. That makes more sense.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Okay, it's three hundred and thirty three minutes. Divide that
by sixty, and it's five hours of promos. Five and
a half hours of promos. So on Memorial Day when
we're not here, we can just play all the promos
and have room to spare.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
It's a whole show right there. Yeah, we can play
just a thousand promos.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
A thousand outdated promos, right, But some of them are.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Are you know, some of them are good? You know,
I mean some of them are like funny from four
years ago, right.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
You think the funny like stood the test of time.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I don't know. Let's find out. Let's find out.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
But I love the fact that that Clay has done
a thousand. That guy's great, he's the best. I think
it's the most underrated guy in radio for sure. I
don't know anybody does better promos. Tell me, Pellio, I
don't have.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
An answer for you. I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
The fool's errand Okay, he's the best. You can't close
your eyes and race the past. Yes, that's a Petro saying.
I think I screwed it up. You can't close your
eyes and I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I think that's right past.
Speaker 4 (20:00):

Come on, yeah, jesus, I got to find this.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I got drunk one night. That's not the story was like,
oh cool, I knew stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
We would like that one Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
No, I got drunk one night and I three days later,
I was unaware I did this, but I ordered one
hundred and eighty cassettes. It was all on VHS. The
entire series of Mama's Family showed up on the doorstep.
I'm like, I didn't order this, and I went back
(23:04):
down to eBay. I did order it.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Buzzed and you watch it every night?
Speaker 14 (23:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
It was like three hundred bucks or so. There's a
lot of money. Wow, And somebody just recorded all them
on TV and I bought him. I don't know if
that's legal or not. Yeah, I don't know if I
still have them. Why you want them. Uh yeah, sure,
all right, I'll bring them in, toss him on like
a DVD.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I'll burn them. I'll burn them on on DVDs for you.
All right.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
When we come back with the talkbacks, we will talk
back or listen back to the talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
People leave us talkbacks. They're always interesting.
Speaker 13 (23:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
We have talkbacks.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
You can go to the website and leave a talk back.
You can press the red button and record something and
then if it's interesting enough or we've run out of
crap to say, we'll play them on the air.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
And this is one of those days. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
These are from people who actually listen to KFI, and
I'm sure they're listening right now to see if we're
going to play them.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
So we suckered them in. We lure them in.
Speaker 15 (24:12):
One agree, you should get two cats if you're going
to be away from the house, because they keep each
other entertained. That's what I do, and I'm gone the
same amount of time every day as the pouch.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Get fourteen fifteen hours.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Okay, good luck, enjoy your new.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Cats, all right, Get two cats that that woman wants
you to get two.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I guess that's the rule. Yeah, you gotta do that.
It's gonna be expensive though. You don't got to feed them.
You gotta take them to the vet. Yeah, you know,
when they get sick, you gotta it's expensive as home.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
Do get it?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Cat O, now the yang yang, then the other side
of the other side.
Speaker 11 (24:46):
Get it cat.
Speaker 9 (24:48):
No.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
Cats are crazy, They're like wild teenagers are bad roommates.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Come home, eat all your food, sleep.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
All day, leave for a couple of days, and come pregnant.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
God, don't get a cat.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Scratch that. Don't get a cat. I'm with this guy.
Don't get any cats.
Speaker 14 (25:09):
What are they hoping to learn by setting a fire?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Okay, this is about the fire they're going to set
tonight through Thursday up in the hills. And we said
the exact same thing. There's nothing more to burn. The
winds aren't the same. What are they going to learn
up there? But they're specialists and they must be doing
it for some reason. I don't understand it, but maybe
I'm not supposed to. If they're doing it, then God
(25:33):
bless them. Maybe they're doing it for a good reason.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
We don't have the same wind conditions.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That's what I said before.
Speaker 14 (25:38):
They don't have the fuel to burn.
Speaker 11 (25:40):
I repeated that as well, everything's gone, there's no houses.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I also said that.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
So sounds like a whole bunch of wasted money to me, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
That's right, that guy's smart.
Speaker 14 (25:52):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Oh, this is a guy who's going to leave a
talkback that his wife comes in and talks to him
while he's leaving a talkback, and we get to hear
what thirty seconds of this guy's life is pretty.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Nice to one another?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah they are, they are, Yeah, they are there. They're
decent to one another.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
They're very decent.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I'll give him that. I'll give him that.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
What's going on out here? Or like all smoking?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
You are smoking?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
No, don't quit. I heard you, huh, I'll heard you.
I'll tell you. It was hard.
Speaker 14 (26:37):
I tried several times.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Oh, I see the little we quit smoking. And the
husband's like, I'm proud of you. You quit smoking.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
See, he's very supportive.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, my grandfather smoked two and a half packs a
day for forty five years and then one day he quit.
He didn't tell my grandmother, he didn't tell his wife,
and in two years later, he said, Madge, which is
not her name. Actually it's his sister's name.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
It's odd.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
He said, hey, Madge, do you know anything different about me?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
A new hearing aid, no new shirt, no new pants, No,
what is it? I haven't smoked in two years? Oh
I didn't notice. How about those two living together outside
of Cleveland, Ohio. My grandfather quit smoking two years ago.
They lived in a fairly small home. In the winter time.
(27:34):
They're inside November, December, January, February, and a little bit
of March, so five months they're inside. And he smoked
two and a half packs of cigarettes inside the house
in his chair in the living room. He's not one
of these guys who goes outside and smokes. He's not
one of these flaky crazies. He smoked in his chair
(27:55):
that he bought with his money, that he earned with
his dirty hands, dirty hand, clean money. That's that was
one of his sayings. And he quit for two years,
and my grandmother never noticed. They barely acknowledge.
Speaker 11 (28:10):
Each other, barely, no tim no, not even a week
in advance would would would work because they knew about
a week in advance that we were going to have
those high winds.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
We're back to the fire again. I think all these
talk batches from the same guy.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
They did nothing to prepare to stop those fires from happening,
or at least have things in place to put the
fires out.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
All right, next, you.
Speaker 14 (28:31):
Sound like you're speaking from experience.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
The same guy. How many do you leave? Is this
all the same guy?
Speaker 3 (28:36):
That's the same guy.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Oh, yeah, it is. That's you don't think that's the same.
Speaker 11 (28:39):
Sound like you're speaking from experience, tim you know, trying
to reel.
Speaker 14 (28:43):
The wife back in.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
That's not the same guy as this.
Speaker 14 (28:46):
They can't do anything. Like the contractor's working on.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
My house, same guy, same guy.
Speaker 14 (28:51):
I gotta buy her a big gift from.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Tiffany, same dude. All right, let's move on.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Stefu's cats are awesome. I got two and a half.
My wife is babysitting one for somebody who's in jail.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
That's great, that's a great brag.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
My wife's baby's sitting a cat because the owners in jail.
Speaker 10 (29:08):
Two and a half. My wife is babysitting one for
somebody who's in jail. But anyway, brush your teeth. You
don't want to end up spending thousands of dollars like
Bellio did with her dogs, even though cats don't get
tooth to kay as much as dogs do. I've been
with her with a dog situation. But anyway, still brush
your teeth once the day, Amazon, Right, all right.
Speaker 16 (29:26):
Right, I'm sorry, Tammy. I didn't I didn't put it
in there, Bellio, Belly O. I love it when you
guys go to each other. You guys are so hilarious.
You know what. Some days when my day is bleak
and everything and I'm just having a bad day, I
can listen to you guys, and you always put a
(29:48):
smile on my face.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
All Right, sweet man, very sweet, sweet young man. I'm
saving the last one, the best one for last. This
guy is great. I'm going to play the whole thing uninterrupted.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I love this.
Speaker 16 (30:01):
Man, Timmy. This is Robert from National City, San Diego.
I just want you to know being an American is
the best thing I ever did in my entire life.
My brother passed away and he was in the military
(30:22):
forty years. Forty years.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
How great is that guy?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Man, If everybody was like that guy, we wouldn't need
cops anymore. That's one of the greatest talkbacks ever. I'm

The passion in this man's voice, the honesty and how
great this country is.
Speaker 16 (30:45):
Timmy, this is Robert from National City, San Diego. I

Speaker 16 (31:13):
Again, Timmy, This is Robert from National City, San Diego.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Robert from National City. God bless you man. You are
the best talkback we've ever had. Moe Kelly is up
next right here on KFI AM six forty 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
(31:39):
the iHeartRadio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. The Dodgers
Dodger Baseball Tonight your Los Angeles Dodgers, who are I
believe tied? Or a game back in the National League West.
The Dodgers take on the Marlins at Dodgers Stated with
(00:21):
first pitch at seven pm one, I don't know fifty
four minutes from now. Listen to all the Dodgers games
on AM five to seventy LA Sports live from the
Gallup and Motors Broadcast Booth, and stream all the Dodger
games in HD on the iHeartRadio app. Keywords AM five
seventy LA Sports. You know what they're finding a lot
(00:43):
of in the burned scar in Altadena and Palisades. They're
finding a lot of burned out guns. People had shotguns
and handguns, antique guns, and they've found a lot of them.
So people are have they left their guns behind when
getting their valuables? And I get that you don't want
(01:04):
to take a gun with you in the car if
you don't have a carry permit. That's not what you
need when your neighborhood's burning down. You get pulled over
and rested for carrying a gun illegally. So everyone left
their guns behind and now LAPD has collected a lot
of them and they're looking for the owners. And some
of them are registered, so there's that going on. And
(01:27):
some of them are ghost guns. So there's a big
deal going on with the guns that were found in
the Burnscar area.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Mostly in the Palisades area.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
A lot of guns up there, a lot of guys
and gals protecting their families with guns.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Let's say there's some shout outs here, Katie and robert Z.
Speaker 2 (01:55):

Speaker 1 (01:59):
The grandfather started huge family markets?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, is that right?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yes, it's a beautiful market. We just go to the
one on Cold Water and Ventura, Hughes Family Markets.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Are they still around? The Huge Family Markets? I like
that market. She wrote, what happened the neighborhood? Beautiful market?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
How about what what a cool brag that your grandfather
started Hughes Markets. That's a cool deal. And then Mindy
from Wisconsin give her a shout out. Mindy, thanks for
listening in Wisconsin. And then Daniel Blake, who's got a
song that I guess has really taken off.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, belly Will loves it. Was it listed under song?
I don't have it here? Is it something new?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I think new?

Speaker 7 (03:28):
I'm talking to myself in circles. I don't know which
way to go. Somebody calling my name on make a.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Run, Run.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
I'm so far I'm gonna hunt you down. I gotta
get away from the road in the street light until
they fade. It's don't fail me now.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I gotta get a.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I got again anyway. Cool song. It's called Circles, right, Circles.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
By Daniel Blake and you can get that on.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Spot a Spotify. Alright, that's a cool dude. I like
that guy. Circles is his name, right, Circles is the
guy's name is Circles.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
No, Daniel Daniel Blake, Ah, song Is Circles, AH and
as far as Hugh's Family Market, they sold to quality
foods in Washington.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, Yeah, I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Fond memories of Hughes Market when I was a kid,
My mom used to love that store, Hughes.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
I guess it was one of the first grocery stores
to have a bank in it.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Wow, I didn't know that kid.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Had free knife sharpening who.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
It was well known for incorporating isles for Asian population,
Mexican population population. There was fifty eight stores in SoCal Wow.
Pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, a lot of Hughes information all.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Right, Hollywood TV and film workers are struggling to find jobs.
And if this industry goes away, so does a lot
of people. A lot of your friends, a lot of
your family, a lot of your livelihood. It's going to
go down to drain with it. They've got to solve
this problem and keep more production here in Los Angeles
(05:21):
and in southern California. And I don't know why they're
screwing around with you.
Speaker 8 (05:25):
When Emmanuel manny Shaw first saw his name come across
a TV screen.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
My mom back in Michigan. She was on the phone
with me and we waited and waiting and waiting.
Speaker 8 (05:33):
It was season five the show This Is Us and
Nanny then a post production assistant on a hit TV
series knew he had made it, and it.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Popped up for like two seconds, but it popped up. Man.
I remember hearing her scream.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well, that's a great moment, right when your mom or
dad sees your name for the first time? Bellyod your
mom or dad ever see your name in credits?
Speaker 10 (05:53):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
What did they say? What if? Her friends?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
I was in a movie of the The Return of Ironside.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Wow, and I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, And I had a speaking part.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Oh my god, what'd you say?
Speaker 8 (06:08):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
How you doing Ironside?
Speaker 11 (06:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Inside? What's that about?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
They wanted like my ex boyfriend had done something bad
and they stopped me and want information from me.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Okay, were you good?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It was really good? Okay, yeah, really good.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
But my so we were watching it and my scene
ended and my dad was just sitting like staring at
the TV, and I'm like, you know, went to look
like why, like you know, he had no response, and
I got around.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
And he like had tears in his eyes.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, Oh that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It was sweet. My favorite moment.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That's really cool. She watched it with him, Yes, back
in Colorado. Yes, she flew back there to watch.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You with him.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
You know what, you actually got that job in Colorado.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh I see, Okay, all right, and and that's a
cool moment. You'll remember that forever.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, that was nice.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Well, we got to keep more of you around, more
of you actors.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You said, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, we got to keep this industry going here in
LA and we shouldn't have to.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Beg for it.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Two seconds proof that not just following a dream.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
No, if it was any kind of task that no
one wanted to do, hey I'll do it.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Starting from the bottom training networking.
Speaker 9 (07:19):
Say hey, Manny, I'm trying to, you know, come up
in the industry. Do you have time to chat? You know,
zoom quality?
Speaker 8 (07:25):
Quick grinding to make that dream reality could pay off.
The youngest of eleven kids, Manny learned early on the
importance of making himself stand out. He began as a
graphic designer in Detroit.
Speaker 9 (07:34):
So at the time, we were outsolcing our videos, and
I figured, hey, if you all can save money by
teaching me how to edit videos.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
Its first big TV job was a production assistant on
America's Got Talent. Hard work and tenacious networking led him
to thrive even during one of entertainment's hardest times.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
From the pandemic. I was actually bombarded with work. I
was turning jobs down.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Ten shows under his belt.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You got a cool brag. Never had that happen.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Bombarded with work, I was turning jobs down.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I've never been in that position.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I was turning jobs down.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Turning jobs down. Man oh man, like that's popular.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
Ten shows under his belt, and he had risen to
assistant editor. But then it all grinded to a halt.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
Everything was going well, and then the strikes happened.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
The writers strike.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, the writers, then the actors strike. They killed a
lot lot of business here in Lam.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
The actors strike.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
Now nearly a year and a half since the industry
was supposed to return to business as usual.
Speaker 9 (08:29):
We off reached out to people I work within the past,
from editors to supervisors, seeing people within the studios, and
everyone is saying there's nothing, there's no work.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
It's incredible. I know people who are in hair and
makeup and wardrobe. They haven't worked in a year and
a half. And one lady I know hasn't worked in
two years. Makeup artists, not once in two years.
Speaker 12 (08:52):
Right now, we've just come out of the worst year
on record excluding COVID in twenty twenty four for the
amount of on location filming happening.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
They've got to fix this problem. They have to.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
There's no bigger issue in LA right now than this problem.
This is the biggest problem right now in LA is
keeping people employed in the entertainment industry.
Speaker 12 (09:13):
And in the first quarter, as we come to a close,
it looks like twenty five is doing even worse.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
Filming was down twenty two percent for that first quarter
January through March, according to philm LA, the official film
office for the city and county, a potentially huge impact.
The California Production Coalition estimates the average locations to add
six hundred and seventy thousand and fifteen hundred jobs a
day to the local economy.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Okay, we'll come back and finish up with this. This
is too important to just ignore. This is a major
problem in Los Angeles and they have to solve it,
and they got to do it quickly. We're live on
KFI AM six forty more about this trad this emergency
is going on.
Speaker 13 (09:48):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It's Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
We have an emergency here in LA and it's film
and TV production that is has either left or it
doesn't exist anymore, and they've got to bring it back
to Los Angeles. This is our business, this is the
business of Southern California, of Los Angeles, and if it
goes away, a lot of other things are going with it.
(10:17):
So the governor has got to take this seriously. And
I don't think two billion dollars is enough. I think
it has to be ten billion in tax credits to
get this city rolling again. And it's got to happen quickly,
very quickly, or else people are going to move and
they're not coming back. You're gonna get you know, but
(10:40):
a lot of the below the line guys, the production
guys and gals are going to leave and they're not
going to come back. And you know, just for a
movie or two, they're going to permanently move or retire
or leave and take all that talent with them. So
they've got to get on the ball here and bring
production back to Los Angeles. They got to do they
(11:00):
had to do it yesterday, but they've got to do it.
I don't know in the next couple of weeks. Something
has to shake down. And again, if they don't bring
it back, a lot of these restaurants that we all
love are going to fold up and go away. They
can't stay in business without show business. So let's get
(11:22):
a little more of the information here. This is a
very very critical time in Los.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
Angeles, potentially a huge impact. The California Production Coalition estimates
the average locations to add six hundred and seventy thousand
and fifteen hundred jobs a day to the local economy.
Paul Audley is the president of PHILM LA. Are there
fewer productions in general or are there just fewer productions in LA.
Speaker 12 (11:44):
So there's a combination of factors. So globally, everybody is
talking about not getting enough work anymore, even the major centers,
because the streamers and others have pulled back. The networks
have shortened the seasons a number of episodes, and.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
So there's a lot less work to be had.
Speaker 12 (12:00):
And then you come back to LA and California is
just not competing with the tax credits.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
We met all the in front of Pasadena's first United
Methodist church. This and other LA locations remained popular for filming.
Audis As, California is now six in the world for filming,
behind Toronto, the United Kingdom, Vancouver, Central Europe.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
We're behind Toronto in filming. We're behind Toronto, Canada in
filming where they can't even really film half the year
Exince too, Damn.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
Paul audace As, California is now six in the world
for filming, behind Toronto, the United Kingdom, Vancouver, Central Europe,
and Australia. Some emerging film hubs that built up their
own worker base.
Speaker 12 (12:38):
And so the local folks in Georgia and New York
and Toronto.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah, George's taking a huge, huge amount of production way
f of Melle all right.
Speaker 12 (12:46):
Now, filling all the positions and they don't have to
import people anymore.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
Meanwhile, I have done jobs from you know, coning podcasts
with people, to Janitoia work, you know, my church dog set,
walking dog man.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
He's been doing everything he can to stay in his
home and in his industry.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
It's humbling, disheartening.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
Going through all the schooling, going through all the trainings,
doing all the networking, doing all the shows, feeling like
I've finally done it. I have the background, I have
the skills, I have the qualifications.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I'm here.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
I'm good being told you're such a good assistant editor,
you know. Hearing all those things, and then coming to
where we're at now, where I can't find a job.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
It's horrible.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
It's horrible, But you know what, I have to say
that I think the production is going to come back
because Warner Brothers is not a stupid company, and they
just leveled their Warner Brothers Rancho Lot, which is on
the corner of Hollywood Way and verd Go and they
built i think four major sound stages there, an office
(13:56):
and production space. So Warner Brothers wouldn't have built that
if they didn't know that there was going to be
a resurgence in production here in La So I think
it's coming and I think that's a good indication that
it's coming back. But it's got to come back soon
because if not again, a lot of these people are
going to be leaving and they ain't coming back, and
(14:19):
all that talent is moving away. And remember when they
used to film in Georgia or in Toronto, they used
to have to bring in all the talent. They have
to bring in the camera mem the assistant directors, the
lighting guys. They have to fly everybody in from LA.
And now, according to this story we just heard, they've
built up their own database of talented people who live
(14:44):
in Georgia and live in Toronto and Vancouver, so it
makes it even less expensive for them to shoot there.
But how the hell did Georgia take away all of
our business? How do we drop the ball in that big,
huge major w How do we let that happen?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I don't know, but somebody was not keeping an eye
on it. And now it's pressure time and it's got
to happen soon.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Tonight the Dodgers take on the Marlins the Dodgers Stadium.
First pitch is at seven o'clock, which is in about
a half hour. Listen all the Dodger games on AM
five to seventy LA Sports and stream all Dodger games
and HD on the iHeartRadio app. Keywords AM five seventy
LA Sports. Zench Sushi hand crafted sushi made fresh daily
at Ralph's near the deli counter. I always hear Tim
(15:35):
Kates talk about that. Is it constantly walking around with
that Zenchi handcrafted sushi. Loves it, man loves that sushi.
All right, doll, we're live. King's going to night as well.
Kings are going to start that game. I believe it's seven,
the little after seven o'clock. So you got the Kings
and the Dodgers clip playing and the Clippers. Wow, man,
what a sports day? All right, I'm gonna say, do win,
(16:01):
Clippers win, Kings lose.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Well, you're not placing a bet, are you?
Speaker 8 (16:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Oh, well, then they got a chance.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
If I bet on the Kings to win, they'll lose. Right,
So if I bet on Edmonton to win, Edmonton will lose.
That's what I gotta do. I gotta go home and
make a bet on Edmonton. That's how I did it.
In twenty twelve, we won the first Cup. Every single
game I bet against the Kings lost a fortune. But
the King's got a Stanley Cup. And they never called
me to thank me. By the way, but I gave
(16:34):
this city the twenty twenty twelve The twenty twelve Stanley
Cup was not because the team was good, not because
they beat all the other teams.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It was because of me.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I bet against the Kings every single game and it
costs me a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
But we got a Stanley Cup. So you're welcome.
Speaker 13 (16:54):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
It is The Conway Show. All right, got some talkbacks.
But before we get to that, Clay Row I like
that echo, Actually I did. Like it's like being at
Dodger Stadium today. I consider myself.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Like his man, man man.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
The face of the earth, Clay Row, who does the
promos around here. I think today will be the one
thousandth promo he's done for our show, because last night
Steph fuge you even noticed that the one that came
in last night was nine hundred and ninety nine I did.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, so in.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Four years he did a thousand promos for us. Yep, Wow,
that's a lot.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Lot.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
That's a hell of a lot, a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, that's one of like a lot, it's like a
lot of It's one every day, you know, on weekdays.
So we have fifteen there each fifteen seconds. What was
the promo run?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Do you or take? Yeah? Twenty twenty seconds?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Oh, twenty second, twenty five seconds, yeah, all right, twenty
let's go twenty all right, we have twenty thousand minutes.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
We're not going to play them all now, are divide.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
That by sixty? Is women? We have twenty thousand women.
If there's if there's a thousand promos and each one
is twenty seconds, that's twenty thousand seconds of promos. And
then you divide that by sixty, Is that three hundred
(18:37):
and thirty hours of promos? That can't be? That can't
possibly be. I'm screwing this up somehow. No, it's three
hundred and thirty three minutes. That makes more sense.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Okay, it's three hundred and thirty three minutes. Divide that
by sixty, and it's five hours of promos. Five and
a half hours of promos. So on Memorial Day when
we're not here, we can just play all the promos
and have room to spare.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
It's a whole show right there. Yeah, we can play
just a thousand promos.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
A thousand outdated promos, right, But some of them are.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Are you know, some of them are good? You know,
I mean some of them are like funny from four
years ago, right.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
You think the funny like stood the test of time.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I don't know. Let's find out. Let's find out.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
But I love the fact that that Clay has done
a thousand. That guy's great, he's the best. I think
it's the most underrated guy in radio for sure. I
don't know anybody does better promos. Tell me, Pellio, I
don't have.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
An answer for you. I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
The fool's errand Okay, he's the best. You can't close
your eyes and race the past. Yes, that's a Petro saying.
I think I screwed it up. You can't close your
eyes and I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I think that's right past.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:01):

Speaker 1 (21:47):
It's when the kid I can't remember the son's name,
Mama's our grandson. I can't remember the guy's name, and
he was going to join the army. And I was
one of the recruits in the army.

Did your dad watch it when it aired?

Speaker 3 (22:20):
And did he cry?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And he couldn't believe it? He's like, god him, I.
They couldn't find anybody else to do that.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Come on, yeah, jesus, I got to find this.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I got drunk one night. That's not the story was like,
oh cool, I knew stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
We would like that one Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
No, I got drunk one night and I three days later,
I was unaware I did this, but I ordered one
hundred and eighty cassettes. It was all on VHS. The
entire series of Mama's Family showed up on the doorstep.
I'm like, I didn't order this, and I went back
(23:04):
down to eBay. I did order it.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Buzzed and you watch it every night?
Speaker 14 (23:08):
Right.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
It was like three hundred bucks or so. There's a
lot of money. Wow, And somebody just recorded all them
on TV and I bought him. I don't know if
that's legal or not. Yeah, I don't know if I
still have them. Why you want them. Uh yeah, sure,
all right, I'll bring them in, toss him on like
a DVD.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I'll burn them. I'll burn them on on DVDs for you.
All right.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
When we come back with the talkbacks, we will talk
back or listen back to the talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
People leave us talkbacks. They're always interesting.
Speaker 13 (23:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
We have talkbacks.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
You can go to the website and leave a talk back.
You can press the red button and record something and
then if it's interesting enough or we've run out of
crap to say, we'll play them on the air.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
And this is one of those days. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
These are from people who actually listen to KFI, and
I'm sure they're listening right now to see if we're
going to play them.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
So we suckered them in. We lure them in.
Speaker 15 (24:12):
One agree, you should get two cats if you're going
to be away from the house, because they keep each
other entertained. That's what I do, and I'm gone the
same amount of time every day as the pouch.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Get fourteen fifteen hours.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Okay, good luck, enjoy your new.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Cats, all right, Get two cats that that woman wants
you to get two.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I guess that's the rule. Yeah, you gotta do that.
It's gonna be expensive though. You don't got to feed them.
You gotta take them to the vet. Yeah, you know,
when they get sick, you gotta it's expensive as home.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
Do get it?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Cat O, now the yang yang, then the other side
of the other side.
Speaker 11 (24:46):
Get it cat.
Speaker 9 (24:48):
No.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
Cats are crazy, They're like wild teenagers are bad roommates.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Come home, eat all your food, sleep.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
All day, leave for a couple of days, and come pregnant.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
God, don't get a cat.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Scratch that. Don't get a cat. I'm with this guy.
Don't get any cats.
Speaker 14 (25:09):
What are they hoping to learn by setting a fire?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Okay, this is about the fire they're going to set
tonight through Thursday up in the hills. And we said
the exact same thing. There's nothing more to burn. The
winds aren't the same. What are they going to learn
up there? But they're specialists and they must be doing
it for some reason. I don't understand it, but maybe
I'm not supposed to. If they're doing it, then God
(25:33):
bless them. Maybe they're doing it for a good reason.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
We don't have the same wind conditions.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That's what I said before.
Speaker 14 (25:38):
They don't have the fuel to burn.
Speaker 11 (25:40):
I repeated that as well, everything's gone, there's no houses.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I also said that.
Speaker 11 (25:44):
So sounds like a whole bunch of wasted money to me, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
That's right, that guy's smart.
Speaker 14 (25:52):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Oh, this is a guy who's going to leave a
talkback that his wife comes in and talks to him
while he's leaving a talkback, and we get to hear
what thirty seconds of this guy's life is pretty.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Nice to one another?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah they are, they are, Yeah, they are there. They're
decent to one another.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
They're very decent.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I'll give him that. I'll give him that.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
What's going on out here? Or like all smoking?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
You are smoking?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
No, don't quit. I heard you, huh, I'll heard you.
I'll tell you. It was hard.
Speaker 14 (26:37):
I tried several times.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Oh, I see the little we quit smoking. And the
husband's like, I'm proud of you. You quit smoking.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
See, he's very supportive.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, my grandfather smoked two and a half packs a
day for forty five years and then one day he quit.
He didn't tell my grandmother, he didn't tell his wife,
and in two years later, he said, Madge, which is
not her name. Actually it's his sister's name.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
It's odd.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
He said, hey, Madge, do you know anything different about me?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
A new hearing aid, no new shirt, no new pants, No,
what is it? I haven't smoked in two years? Oh
I didn't notice. How about those two living together outside
of Cleveland, Ohio. My grandfather quit smoking two years ago.
They lived in a fairly small home. In the winter time.
(27:34):
They're inside November, December, January, February, and a little bit
of March, so five months they're inside. And he smoked
two and a half packs of cigarettes inside the house
in his chair in the living room. He's not one
of these guys who goes outside and smokes. He's not
one of these flaky crazies. He smoked in his chair
(27:55):
that he bought with his money, that he earned with
his dirty hands, dirty hand, clean money. That's that was
one of his sayings. And he quit for two years,
and my grandmother never noticed. They barely acknowledge.
Speaker 11 (28:10):
Each other, barely, no tim no, not even a week
in advance would would would work because they knew about
a week in advance that we were going to have
those high winds.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
We're back to the fire again. I think all these
talk batches from the same guy.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
They did nothing to prepare to stop those fires from happening,
or at least have things in place to put the
fires out.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
All right, next, you.
Speaker 14 (28:31):
Sound like you're speaking from experience.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
The same guy. How many do you leave? Is this
all the same guy?
Speaker 3 (28:36):
That's the same guy.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Oh, yeah, it is. That's you don't think that's the same.
Speaker 11 (28:39):
Sound like you're speaking from experience, tim you know, trying
to reel.
Speaker 14 (28:43):
The wife back in.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
That's not the same guy as this.
Speaker 14 (28:46):
They can't do anything. Like the contractor's working on.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
My house, same guy, same guy.
Speaker 14 (28:51):
I gotta buy her a big gift from.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Tiffany, same dude. All right, let's move on.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Stefu's cats are awesome. I got two and a half.
My wife is babysitting one for somebody who's in jail.
Speaker 2 (29:01):

Speaker 1 (29:03):
My wife's baby's sitting a cat because the owners in jail.
Speaker 10 (29:08):
Two and a half. My wife is babysitting one for
somebody who's in jail. But anyway, brush your teeth. You
don't want to end up spending thousands of dollars like
Bellio did with her dogs, even though cats don't get
tooth to kay as much as dogs do. I've been
with her with a dog situation. But anyway, still brush
your teeth once the day, Amazon, Right, all right.
Speaker 16 (29:26):
Right, I'm sorry, Tammy. I didn't I didn't put it
in there, Bellio, Belly O. I love it when you
guys go to each other. You guys are so hilarious.

can listen to you guys, and you always put a
(29:48):
smile on my face.
