Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Before we
get to our very next guest got an email here
from a woman named Sylvia Redman in Santa Clarita, and
she writes, Dear Tim ding Dong, I like that. Do
you have the web address for the urgent care kit
(00:22):
you talked about twenty minutes ago?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
About twenty minutes ago. About twenty minutes ago on the air.
Do you have the web address for the urgent care
kit you talked about? I do, but I think you
do as well. Do you have the web dress for
the urgent care Kit? It was called urgentcarekit dot com.
So you got very close, very close. Hey, do you
(00:48):
have the web address for those Firestone tires you were selling? Yes?
Or talking about? Yes, Firestone tires dot com. All right.
Andy Reesmeyer did a really cool thing on KTLA talking
about what your grocery store says about you? What does
it say about you? Let's play this then talk to Andy.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You're bonkers about their grocery stores though, Yeah, and so
call it. Loan from Albertson's State of Brothers, Bristol, farms, Devaughn's,
John's Pavilions, arawons and more at Costco Kirkland branded clothing.
The internet awash with people sharing food, hauls, hacks, ways
to show your love for your supermarket.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
But why we were so much cooler fast we had Nirvana,
the band and the concept Atlantic.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
With this quote, the Internet has enable a new kind
of community building and identity signaling, one that is anchored
in consumption rather than creed. All culture is consumer culture now,
and the grocery store is the physical store that most
people go into the most often.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, that is true, all right? Andy Reesmark from Katla.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
How you bob ding dong with you, Jim?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But I nice to hear you.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I have never heard anyone do a Glenn Walker impersonation
until you do.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You said that and I thought, oh wow, that might
be something that I have on my own. But I'll
tell you what. I've done it for years and he
loves it. I've done it to his face and he
likes it a lot. But you've got to like get
into it the right way, you know. So he does
these things or he'll always be like, let me tell
you something, and then he'll he'll hit you with the
(02:29):
wildest thing you've ever heard, Like, let me tell you something.
You know, it's enough in that hot lately the past
couple of months, you know what, there's stops screwing with
the weather. Kim Trails look it up like, oh all right,
cool cool. And then he also every time, you know,
when he comes on set, they asked for a mic check,
and he goes, Mike check, Mike check, Glenn Walker, Mike check.
(02:51):
And so that's always always the thing you can use
to get into it.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
You know, a buddy of mine, a guy named Tom Looney,
loves watch in KTLA Morning Show and he says, he
says that Andy Reestmeyer is the is the future of
that program. That's kind of a big compliment.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Ryan, that's from a Looney.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I'll take it Tom Looney. Hey, So let's talk about
these grocery stores and what it says about you. First
of all, what is your grocery store? Where are you
a Whole Foods guy?
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Trader Joe's I'm a Gelson's guy, all right, because let
me tell you, let me tell you why, because it's
it's it's nice, but it's from the era when the.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Grocery store was just a nice grocery store. It's not
my identity. I don't wear a shirt that sells galsons
on it. I don't post on social media that I'm
going to Galson's and here's my smoothie. Gleson's. You just
got consistent, non hypey, good selection there, great produce.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
It'sat it's in the valley.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I go to the one in the Valley Village area
and you check this out. There's a wine bar in
the grocery store.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
No, that's how I actually full bar.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
You can go sit there after your shop and not
the couple back.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, I don't know where. I don't know where you
are though in life where you're spending extra hours inside
of a grocery store drinking wine. I think when people
walk by and you see them, I don't think you
really want to make eye contact with people, you know,
you know, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I think it's like a real good singles bar, like
a good place to meet people.
Speaker 8 (04:25):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But I have a you know that. I go to
Gelson's occasionally. It's a little expensive, but I do enjoy
the deli in Gelson's. They have the best Thai noodle.
I think I've ever had. But I remember I was
there years and years ago, and you know, they you
take a number and they go sixty three, sixty four,
sixty five, say oh, that's me, that's sixty seven. And
(04:46):
I walk up and the guy points at me and goes, hey,
I said, yeah, he's he Hey, Can I ask you
a question? I said yeah, yeah yeah. He says, we're
not supposed to talk to us celebrities, and I said, oh.
I said, well, if your boss has been told telling
you not to do that, maybe you shouldn't do it.
And he says, but can I can I ask you
a question? I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, what do you?
(05:09):
What was you like? He said, and he points over
He goes, is that David Spade? I thought, you know,
once in a while I thought it was I was
about to be recognized. Like no, he just wants to
know if that's David Spade over there. But Glson's is
a great market. That's my dad's market. Growing up. My
mom and dad always went to Gelson's on haven Hurst
and Ventura. Always very clean, a little expensive.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Though.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Now I think we're losing Andy.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Oh no, can hear me?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah there you.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Are, Okay, it's it's a little expensive, but it's like,
that's your I got paid on Friday. Now I can
go to Gelson's. You know, that's your short first week
after the paycheck, and then you got to switch over
to your Raups or or your TJ's or your Aldie.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah. I've noticed that nobody gets a full cart at Galson's.
It's four items.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But the thing is, it's like in the pantheon of
expensive grocery stores, Whole Foods I think is more expensive
than Glson's and then Arawon. As you know, I mean
that's the whole social scene for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
What is it? Yeah, but what does it say about
you if you're a Target or Walmart grocery shopper.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You know, I, as you know, I'm from the Midwest.
Love the Midwest, and Walmart was the greatest grocery store.
It was the closest to us. They got great, great produce.
I think it says that you appreciate a good deal, okay,
and I think it makes you I will say, I
know there's a lot of costco people out there. I
don't want to offend anybody, but I think that the
thing as a single man living by myself I think
(06:37):
the thing is that Costco, if I shopped at Costco,
indicates some kind of mental illness for a single.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Person, right, you know, like a.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
City complex problem, like put the card away, go straight
to therapy, because like you don't need thirty ounces of salmon, right,
just one man? Can't?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You know what Andy ReSm whether it's from KTLA channel five.
You know what else? I've noticed though, when it comes
to Target, they still after about a decade or so,
not sure if they want to get into the grocery world.
There's like three aisles.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Totally it's totally half half aid, as you say, right,
And I think it's it's it's like, you know, there's
a lot of it's just a gas station. Plus you know,
it's like a seven to eleven plustore. But I think
that you know, you got I would. I don't know
if this is true, but I'm going to say it anyway.
I feel like there's more grocery store options in southern
(07:33):
California than any other part of the country.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Yeah, I mean right when I was doing.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
The research today, we missed also the vyr to Mart.
Huge fan of the vyr To Mart. That's an experience
El super also very good. Bristol Farms. That's that's you know.
Like I said, if you're a series regular on the
soap opera, then you go to Bristol Farms. I went to.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I went to an Varta or el L's super. I
can remember what you want. There's a bright off of
Kawang and your Sherman Way and I went in there
just to get taco shells. Were having tacos. I want
to pick up some shells on the way home. And
I went through every aisle looking because I don't want
to bother anybody. I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking. I
can't I can't thing find them. So I finally said
(08:18):
the guy, going, hey, do you have me a taco shells?
He goes, yeah, here, there's tortillas right here, and like
I said, no, no, the ones that are shaped like
a taco already, and he takes me to an aisle.
There's one box left from nineteen seventy eight. He's like,
Hispanic people really don't do that.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
WHOA, you got to get the fresh maid They're still warm,
They're still warm in the plastic bag there. That place
is amazing. You get five hundred, five hundred fresh tortillas
and it'll cost you three dollars out.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It's driving.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Really, it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Albertsons is one of my favorite. There's not one close by,
so I don't really normally go there, but I love
Albertsons man.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, I'm Albert's guy. I love a Stater Brothers.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yes, that's fun, that's right.
Speaker 9 (09:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I haven't found myself ever at a grocery outlet bargain market.
Not sure what that's about, but I hear, I hear
good things.
Speaker 10 (09:07):
Uh and uh.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
The I'm also a big smart and final guy too.
I love smart and final.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I don't know why there's one of those in Burbank, right,
there's two. There's literally one in Burbank on Hollywood Way
and and Burbank and then there's one on Hollywood Way
and for Dugo less than a mile apart. By the way,
how about that.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That's that's that's a success right there. That's not cheap
real estate in there.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And I'm also a big fan of Pavilions as well.
I really enjoyed that.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You know, if Pavilion is the same as Vond's, is
it the same? Yes, Mark John's and pavilions are all
the same, right.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, hey, real, real quickly, we got to take a break.
Did they decide on anyone to replace Sam Ruben, our
very dear friend who has passed away.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, they hired Melvin Robert, who is on there. You
can see him every day they're doing the Entertainment Report.
Really nice guy, got a great style, great sense, and uh,
I think people you know, they kept me on the
morning show, which is really nice too, so I'm very
thankful for that. And yeah, you know it's it's I
really I love I love being there, and you know,
(10:15):
we're trying to just keep SAMs. Yeah, trying to keep
Sam's legacy a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And who is I'm her horrible names. Who's the young
lady used to do the podcast with.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Oh, Samantha corte yeast at four pm. She's fantastic. Our
show is back. Our podcast is back every Saturday at
eleven am on the KTLA plus app. It's called do
It Live and it's you know, of course, in honor
of Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
And I also like, uh is it called off.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
The air off the clock? Yeah? Okay, sorry, yeah, now listen,
we've got forty five hours of news a day. I
think at KTLA, so it's hard to keep track.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I didn't mean to, you know, discourage or just despair
those people. I just thought that was the title of
it off the air. But yeah, I appreciate coming on.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Oh you're the best.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Thanks Eddie. Hey, wait, where do people get holding on
social media if they want to follow you?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Easy? At Andy KTLA?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
All right, Andy KTLA, buddy, I appreciate, Uh, say to
everybody for me.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
There you go? Alright, Andy Reespire, there a KTLA Channel
five off the record.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
What was it?
Speaker 6 (11:18):
What did you say?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Was off the air? Off red clock, off the clock?
Out A mighty? It was in my mind.
Speaker 8 (11:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyl from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The Remember the charity that that we were involved with.
I think iHeart was involved with it somehow after the
big fires. It was the Fire Aid Fund and they
raised I think it was one hundred million dollars. A
lot of people jumped in and joined in on it.
Well where did all that money go? Who got it?
(11:52):
Where is it being spent, who's being helped? Maybe you
want to know, Well, I'll tell.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
You roughly one hundred twenty organizations split fifty million dollars
when the first round of Firey funds were released back
in February.
Speaker 12 (12:06):
You can see that huge list of recipients right here now.
Speaker 11 (12:09):
We tried reaching out to every single one of them
and heard back for more than fifty to find out
how that money is being used.
Speaker 12 (12:18):
Biggest names and music raised big money.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
And now.
Speaker 12 (12:23):
It's a lot with Michael Towns to play the piano
again as he rebuilds his life.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Well, I can't go this way.
Speaker 12 (12:30):
In January, he came home to see the Alta Dina
home he inherited up in flames. He's uninsured and is
playing his piano in a rental thanks to financial assistance
from the nonprofit Door of Hope, which received one hundred
thousand dollars from fire Aid.
Speaker 10 (12:47):
I think as a lot of people think that there's
no more resources at all, and that everything is dry
and there's no more help for anybody, and I'm here
to say that that's not true.
Speaker 12 (12:59):
Not only is Door Hope helping Michael Bothron, it's also
paying for equipment so he can restart his music teaching business.
Speaker 13 (13:05):
Oh, this is cool.
Speaker 14 (13:07):
This is the chair, This is the studio.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
Chare right here.
Speaker 12 (13:10):
The Neighborhood Housing Services of La County received one point
five million from fire Aid.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Right who got one point five million.
Speaker 12 (13:16):
The Neighborhood Housing Services of La County received one point
five million from fire Aid to help fire victims get
interim housing and financial counseling.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
We scrape and scrabble around here as nonprofits, so every
single dollar matters, and we're super grateful.
Speaker 12 (13:32):
The Pasadena Humane Society used two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars from fire Aid to treat in house pets burned
and left homeless from the flames.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
That's a great charity. I got two hundred and fifty
grand Pasadena Humane Society.
Speaker 12 (13:44):
Good for them.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
The day is out at that Lucien today taking some
water quality.
Speaker 12 (13:49):
Samples and heal the bay received one hundred thousand it
used to test for contaminants along our coast. As for
Michael say Hi, he says without Fire Aid money, there
is no telling where he and his one month old
daughter he named Faith would be without that money. Certainly
he wouldn't be playing music.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
How about that guy's life. He's got a one month
old burned out of his place and all of his
equipment burned up. I guess he's some kind of music
teacher and his life was turned upside down, but he
was helped by fire aid fund. So let's say a
cool story.
Speaker 11 (14:28):
Organizations receiving fire aid money. We're told none of the
money could be used for administrative costs, but a few
of the nonprofits told us they are using a small
amount of the cash for admin A Fire eight spokesperson
says they will be working with those organizations to divert
that money to direct aid by the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
That's a great story. I hope they I hope it
sounds like everybody's very grateful to get all that dough
one hundred million dollars and the first fifty million has
already gone out. That is a great story.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
You're listening to Tim kun Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I've been gone for a week and the number of
people going on our cruise was at one o five
when I left, and then Leslie came down and said, Hey,
that's the wrong number, And I said, oh, what's the
real number. She said, it's seventy thirty five people have canceled. No,
I'm just kidding. She said, it's she said, it's not
(15:26):
at one hundred and five, it's one hundred and nineteen.
One hundred and nineteen listeners are going on this cruise.
Speaker 15 (15:34):
I have been I've been a part or. I have
seen so many of these things over the year. I've
never ever seen a response like this.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I haven't either.
Speaker 15 (15:43):
I don't know where it's coming from decades. I've seen
these promotions attempted, and I've never seen this success.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
You know, I'm funny to say that, And again, if
we don't promote ourselves, nobody will. But the young ladies
who run the agency putting this whole thing together Travel
Store said they've been doing this for you know, ten, fifteen,
twenty years, and we're twenty to twenty five percent ahead
of any other cruise that we did on the air there,
(16:11):
So that's great. One hundred and nineteen listeners one one
nine and you could be on too if you go
to Conwaycruise dot com. We're going to Alaska. We're going
to Alaska. It's funny.
Speaker 15 (16:23):
I was looking at the at that cruise line in
the ships and stuff. I was blown away. It's definitely
it's a smaller ship, so it's a much more intimate
and it just seems like a much cooler experience than
even just your regular cruise line.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, I think so, I'd rather do that. You know,
you get in one of these ships where there's nine
thousand people, you never see anybody. Yeah, you know, it's
just like a city, and this is gonna be a
smaller community. So it's great. One hundred and nineteen people
are going Conwaycruise dot Com, Conwaycruise dot Com, and you're going,
whether you like or not, you're putting in an deposit,
you're gonna pay it, you're gonna bump a credit card
or whatever you gotta do. We're going. We are going,
(16:57):
and we're gonna leave LA behind. So we're not gonna
have to deal with LA for a solid week from
July twenty first of next year until the twenty eighth.
We can leave everything behind, all the crime, the craziness,
and the trash strike that is going to hit LA.
There's a trash strike going on right now in Boston
(17:19):
and I think it's Republic Trash or whatever is Republic Company,
and they've brought some of their union bosses and union
leaders out here to picket Orange County they've left Orange
County and Anaheim and now they're coming to La County
where they're going to picket some of the offices out here.
(17:41):
And so if you live in La City or La County,
you might be looking at a trash strike and stuff
starts piling up in front of your apartment or a
house or whatever. But this is going to get It's
gonna be hot. There's gonna be a lot of trash
around in La County. As the trash piles up in
Orange County due to workers walking off the job, some
(18:01):
cities have opened temporary trash drop off sites.
Speaker 14 (18:04):
Republic Services Sanitation workers are honoring picket lines and solidarity
with striking workers in Boston. This is video of the
trash piling up there. The Orange County Register says Brea,
Anaheim Bulletin, and Garden Grove are offering the drop off sites.
Trash has not been picked up since Wednesday in some areas.
The Bay Area is also being impacted by the block out.
Speaker 16 (18:27):
I love my grandmother and so obviously she can't take
the trash, so I gotta take the trash.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But it's just crazy out here with this strike show.
I hope we get it settled soon because the trash
is everywhere.
Speaker 10 (18:37):
I'm concerned that if this goes on much longer, we
will have a health public health issue. Our health officer
has said it is not yet, but it could become
one if this continues much longer.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Wow.
Speaker 14 (18:50):
The workers are demanding higher wages and better health benefits.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
That's with almost every strike. I think they all want
higher wages and they want better health benefits. And I
don't know what their contract is. Maybe they deserve it,
who knows.
Speaker 14 (19:03):
The workers are demanding higher wages and better health benefits.
Talks between the striking workers and Republic Services are set
to resume this week.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
There you go, all right, ding dong. Superman is the
big winner over the weekend.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Superman.
Speaker 12 (19:18):
This weekend, everyone had their eyes on this guy up here.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Hey, buddy's up here. The Man of Steel just stole
the box office. David corn Sweat's debut is the beloved
comic book hero premiered over the weekend with.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Me Did you see it yet?
Speaker 12 (19:37):
Stefo?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Sure a pick comic guy? Have you seen Superman yet?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I was gonna actually ask Crow you did. Why do
you don't strike me as a Superman guy? Do you
go alone?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Me?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I grew up on comics Man get outy.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (19:49):
In fact, my daughter that she used to call Superman
or Boyfriend the day Man when Superman Returns came out originally,
So it's like she made a point of asking me
about a month ago if I would go with her.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh that's kind of cool.
Speaker 15 (20:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, she's she's I mean, and I got
her into the comic book movies because I did it
as a kid.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I was huge in that stuff. Does she have that
personalized plate soup scal Where'd you go to see it?
At the Claremont Lemonley Theaters big screen?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
It wasn't like an Imax or anything like that. But yeah,
how is it? It's great.
Speaker 15 (20:22):
I mean it's it's a little bit of a departure
from comic book movies that you are used to now,
but in a good way. I think it's much more
I think kid friendly and accessible. Oh good, But I
don't think it a bad way. It's it's some could
say it's a little bit more fluff. It's not as
like serious or dark as a lot of the comic
books got so it's much more accessible to people.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And I hate to be a you know, a super
shallow guy. But it's worked so far. How long is
it like? Two hours? Okay?
Speaker 15 (20:50):
And that's that's one of the other things that people
talk that they that James Gunn knows what he's doing.
He can make a really good story. And it's and
it's definitely a James Gunn style of a film if
you're familiar with that, like Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's very much in that vein.
Speaker 15 (21:02):
The dialogue is really quick, a lot of humor, a
lot more humor that you would expect from a good movie,
especially Superman movie. My Jen, she says it's it was
one of her favorite superhero movies that she's seen in
a long term.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Really really enjoyed it. Oh wait, so she went with

I gotta check that out. Oh yeah, Will Reeves, yeah, man,
he was young when his dad died.
Speaker 15 (22:02):
We play, yes, And in fact, it was funny they
had that that Superman or that Christopher Reeves movie that
came out at the beginning of the year. That's on
HBO now you can catch I can't remember what it's called,
but it's like Superman Chris Reeves Story or something of
that effect. That it talks about Christopher Reeves when he
got paralyzed and his whole process, and he interviewed like
everybody associated with him. Uh, and Will Reeves was seeing
(22:23):
it a lot. And at the end of the near
the end of that movie, Will Reeves talks about because
his mom, Reeves's wife died like a year and a
half after he was from lung cancer, wasn't he Yeah, yeah,
so he talks about that, and it is just one
of the most heartbreaking down How long how he talks
about that.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
How old was he when when his dad died? You know,
was he like seven or so? Yeah, it was something
like that. Yeah, and his mom, I know it wasn't
when he died.
Speaker 15 (22:46):
No, no, no, because he because he's you know, his
twenties thirties now, and Reeves died when he died of
oh six, I want to say years ago.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, so yeah, he could be Yeah, he was, he
was very young. Yeah. Man, man, what a tragedy. I mean,
you know, your dad is Superman and falls off a
horse and gets paralyzed and then passed away, and then
your mom, who's never had a cigarette in your life,
has stage four diagnosed the stage four lung cancer.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (23:11):
They said the break that Reeves had, if it was
one inch to the left, he would have died instantly.
One inch to the right or quarter INChO the right,
he would have gotten up and walked away.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
It's that time of year where all four major sports
are not going to be played. So if you're a
betting man, this is a very tough time to get through.
There's no baseball, football, basketball, or baseball baseball, football, basketball, hockey.
All four sports are not being played over the next
couple of days because of the All Star Game. And
(25:09):
it's going to be in Georgia. It's going to be
in Atlanta, and that will be the first time it's back.
Remember it was moved from there, I think back in
twenty twenty one when there was Yeah, back in twenty
twenty one, the game was moved to Denver with the
protests against Election Integrity Act of twenty twenty one. And
(25:31):
so now they're moving it back to Georgia, back to Atlanta,
and there's going to be heavy representation by your Los
Angeles Dodgers. Yeah, I think it's five players.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
From Baseball All Star Game.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
The Dodgers will be incredibly well represented leading the way
with five players in the Midsummer Classic. In addition to
those players, skipper Dave Roberts is there. Doca's leading the
way for the National League. Today, Roberts announcing his lineup
of course, he's going to have oheo Tani showing your
tiny hitting lead off Freddy Freeman will about fourth, Will
Smith in the sixth spot. For Freddy, it's going to
(26:05):
be a special moment going back to Atlanta.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
He played the.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
First twelve years of his career in the atl and
won a World Series there in twenty twenty one. He's
always gotten a warm welcome when he goes back, and
it will likely be the same tomorrow night in the
All Star Game.
Speaker 17 (26:19):
It's special every time I come off the ovations they
give me every time I come back last four years,
so I spent a lot of wonderful years here, brought
a championship back here. So I'm looking forward to today
and tomorrow, especially tomorrow and playing in front of his
fans again where they're not dooing me in the last
four years.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
So I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
And you know, I'm excited to be back.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Special day for Clayton Kershaw too.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
The commission Rob Madfred giving Kurseh legend status to get
into his eleventh All Star Game. Wow, Clayton knows he
shouldn't be there, but he's soaking up every moment.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
All Right, Kershaw is gonna be the eleventh All Star game.
That's unbelievable, Commissioner, just let me come.
Speaker 13 (26:57):
Basically is really awesome, weird feeling at the same time,
you know, not really being deserving to be here, but
it doesn't make it anything less special. And I'm going
to enjoy it. You know, family's gonna enjoy We're gonna
have a blast. So it's uh, you know, anytime you
get to come, you just you just try to embrace it.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Chrishall also says the word legend it makes him feel
makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
We'll see how.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Uncomfortable the fans make him if he gets a chance
to pitch.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
We know Paul Skins will be on the mound.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Robert's picking him to start for the NL for the
second straight year. Here's a stud from El Toro High.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
And it's just such a huge honor to you know,
be on this stage and play with, you know, all
these unbelievable players, some of them that I've you know,
watched for for years and to be able to share
a field with them is an awesome experience. So great
to be back there. You go.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
That guy's got going on at Paul Skeens he played
for Pittsburgh and is dating that gymnast who went to LSU.
So he's got it going on. Man, being young in
this country and being good at what you do, whether
you're pitching or athlete or you know, artists, whatever. There's
a lot of opportunity out there, a lot of opportunity,
(28:04):
all right. In lesser news, not so heavy here, Starbucks
flavor caused the hell is this? They're gonna start charging
a flat fee for flavor.
Speaker 18 (28:16):
Well, if you like a little vanilla or hazel nut
and your Starbucks latte, you're gonna want to hear this.
The coffee chain is changing its pricing structure for additional flavors,
effective immediately. Customers will have to pay eighty cents extra
to add syrups and sausage to non flavor drinks. It'll
be the same price whether you get one pumper four pumps. Previously,
(28:38):
prices vary depending on flavors, number of pumps and drinks
being bought.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
All right, So it's just eighty cents now, a flat
fee for you to get flavor added to your drink.
Added flavor, you know, pumps, some chi vanilla. That whole
run again. I was up in the Portland area in
Oregon over the last week and they have and I
think there's one out near Krozier. They have Dutch Brothers.
(29:06):
Dutch Brothers might wipe Starbucks out. The line was super
long at all the Dutch Brothers that we went to.
And it's the future of those drinks. That's Kiki's, that's
Keek's Jam Dutch Brothers. Yeah, yeah, you know, it is
taken off though it is and it's really popular with
(29:26):
kids because it's sweet as hell.
Speaker 16 (29:28):
I mean it's just like a cup of sugar. I
just like it because they had like a protein style
like a vanilla aute. It was really good. I don't
get I don't like it that sweet. So it was
just but it's not so it's not as much sugar.
It's got some of that you know, stuff you need,
you know.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
And I didn't know this. You can make drinks double
these smooth by saying double blend. Did you know that
that I did not know. Yeah, yeah, they blended twice,
so it's more like a milkshake and you don't have
those ice chunks. But yeah, double blended. I learned that
over the vacation. That's the thing. Did you did you
your daughter have some?
Speaker 5 (30:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Every day, oh literally, every morning we woke up and
we got in the car, it went to Dutch Brothers.
That's awesome. Every single day. It's great, really terrific. All Right,
moo Kelly's whole crew next right here on KFI AM

you can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime
(30:25):
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Before we
get to our very next guest got an email here
from a woman named Sylvia Redman in Santa Clarita, and
she writes, Dear Tim ding Dong, I like that. Do
you have the web address for the urgent care kit
(00:22):
you talked about twenty minutes ago?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
About twenty minutes ago. About twenty minutes ago on the air.
Do you have the web address for the urgent care
kit you talked about? I do, but I think you
do as well. Do you have the web dress for
the urgent care Kit? It was called urgentcarekit dot com.
So you got very close, very close. Hey, do you
(00:48):
have the web address for those Firestone tires you were selling? Yes?
Or talking about? Yes, Firestone tires dot com. All right.
Andy Reesmeyer did a really cool thing on KTLA talking
about what your grocery store says about you? What does
it say about you? Let's play this then talk to Andy.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You're bonkers about their grocery stores though, Yeah, and so
call it. Loan from Albertson's State of Brothers, Bristol, farms, Devaughn's,
John's Pavilions, arawons and more at Costco Kirkland branded clothing.
The internet awash with people sharing food, hauls, hacks, ways
to show your love for your supermarket.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
But why we were so much cooler fast we had Nirvana,
the band and the concept Atlantic.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
With this quote, the Internet has enable a new kind
of community building and identity signaling, one that is anchored
in consumption rather than creed. All culture is consumer culture now,
and the grocery store is the physical store that most
people go into the most often.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, that is true, all right? Andy Reesmark from Katla.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
How you bob ding dong with you, Jim?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But I nice to hear you.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I have never heard anyone do a Glenn Walker impersonation
until you do.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You said that and I thought, oh wow, that might
be something that I have on my own. But I'll
tell you what. I've done it for years and he
loves it. I've done it to his face and he
likes it a lot. But you've got to like get
into it the right way, you know. So he does
these things or he'll always be like, let me tell
you something, and then he'll he'll hit you with the
(02:29):
wildest thing you've ever heard, Like, let me tell you something.
You know, it's enough in that hot lately the past
couple of months, you know what, there's stops screwing with
the weather. Kim Trails look it up like, oh all right,
cool cool. And then he also every time, you know,
when he comes on set, they asked for a mic check,
and he goes, Mike check, Mike check, Glenn Walker, Mike check.
(02:51):
And so that's always always the thing you can use
to get into it.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
You know, a buddy of mine, a guy named Tom Looney,
loves watch in KTLA Morning Show and he says, he
says that Andy Reestmeyer is the is the future of
that program. That's kind of a big compliment.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Ryan, that's from a Looney.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I'll take it Tom Looney. Hey, So let's talk about
these grocery stores and what it says about you. First
of all, what is your grocery store? Where are you
a Whole Foods guy?
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Trader Joe's I'm a Gelson's guy, all right, because let
me tell you, let me tell you why, because it's
it's it's nice, but it's from the era when the.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Grocery store was just a nice grocery store. It's not
my identity. I don't wear a shirt that sells galsons
on it. I don't post on social media that I'm
going to Galson's and here's my smoothie. Gleson's. You just
got consistent, non hypey, good selection there, great produce.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
It'sat it's in the valley.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I go to the one in the Valley Village area
and you check this out. There's a wine bar in
the grocery store.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
No, that's how I actually full bar.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
You can go sit there after your shop and not
the couple back.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, I don't know where. I don't know where you
are though in life where you're spending extra hours inside
of a grocery store drinking wine. I think when people
walk by and you see them, I don't think you
really want to make eye contact with people, you know,
you know, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I think it's like a real good singles bar, like
a good place to meet people.
Speaker 8 (04:25):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But I have a you know that. I go to
Gelson's occasionally. It's a little expensive, but I do enjoy
the deli in Gelson's. They have the best Thai noodle.
I think I've ever had. But I remember I was
there years and years ago, and you know, they you
take a number and they go sixty three, sixty four,
sixty five, say oh, that's me, that's sixty seven. And
(04:46):
I walk up and the guy points at me and goes, hey,
I said, yeah, he's he Hey, Can I ask you
a question? I said yeah, yeah yeah. He says, we're
not supposed to talk to us celebrities, and I said, oh.
I said, well, if your boss has been told telling
you not to do that, maybe you shouldn't do it.
And he says, but can I can I ask you
a question? I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, what do you?
(05:09):
What was you like? He said, and he points over
He goes, is that David Spade? I thought, you know,
once in a while I thought it was I was
about to be recognized. Like no, he just wants to
know if that's David Spade over there. But Glson's is
a great market. That's my dad's market. Growing up. My
mom and dad always went to Gelson's on haven Hurst
and Ventura. Always very clean, a little expensive.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Though.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Now I think we're losing Andy.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Oh no, can hear me?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah there you.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Are, Okay, it's it's a little expensive, but it's like,
that's your I got paid on Friday. Now I can
go to Gelson's. You know, that's your short first week
after the paycheck, and then you got to switch over
to your Raups or or your TJ's or your Aldie.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah. I've noticed that nobody gets a full cart at Galson's.
It's four items.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But the thing is, it's like in the pantheon of
expensive grocery stores, Whole Foods I think is more expensive
than Glson's and then Arawon. As you know, I mean
that's the whole social scene for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
What is it? Yeah, but what does it say about
you if you're a Target or Walmart grocery shopper.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You know, I, as you know, I'm from the Midwest.
Love the Midwest, and Walmart was the greatest grocery store.
It was the closest to us. They got great, great produce.
I think it says that you appreciate a good deal, okay,
and I think it makes you I will say, I
know there's a lot of costco people out there. I
don't want to offend anybody, but I think that the
thing as a single man living by myself I think
(06:37):
the thing is that Costco, if I shopped at Costco,
indicates some kind of mental illness for a single.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Person, right, you know, like a.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
City complex problem, like put the card away, go straight
to therapy, because like you don't need thirty ounces of salmon, right,
just one man? Can't?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You know what Andy ReSm whether it's from KTLA channel five.
You know what else? I've noticed though, when it comes
to Target, they still after about a decade or so,
not sure if they want to get into the grocery world.
There's like three aisles.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Totally it's totally half half aid, as you say, right,
And I think it's it's it's like, you know, there's
a lot of it's just a gas station. Plus you know,
it's like a seven to eleven plustore. But I think
that you know, you got I would. I don't know
if this is true, but I'm going to say it anyway.
I feel like there's more grocery store options in southern
(07:33):
California than any other part of the country.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Yeah, I mean right when I was doing.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
The research today, we missed also the vyr to Mart.
Huge fan of the vyr To Mart. That's an experience
El super also very good. Bristol Farms. That's that's you know.
Like I said, if you're a series regular on the
soap opera, then you go to Bristol Farms. I went to.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I went to an Varta or el L's super. I
can remember what you want. There's a bright off of
Kawang and your Sherman Way and I went in there
just to get taco shells. Were having tacos. I want
to pick up some shells on the way home. And
I went through every aisle looking because I don't want
to bother anybody. I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking. I
can't I can't thing find them. So I finally said
(08:18):
the guy, going, hey, do you have me a taco shells?
He goes, yeah, here, there's tortillas right here, and like
I said, no, no, the ones that are shaped like
a taco already, and he takes me to an aisle.
There's one box left from nineteen seventy eight. He's like,
Hispanic people really don't do that.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
WHOA, you got to get the fresh maid They're still warm,
They're still warm in the plastic bag there. That place
is amazing. You get five hundred, five hundred fresh tortillas
and it'll cost you three dollars out.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It's driving.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Really, it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Albertsons is one of my favorite. There's not one close by,
so I don't really normally go there, but I love
Albertsons man.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, I'm Albert's guy. I love a Stater Brothers.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yes, that's fun, that's right.
Speaker 9 (09:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I haven't found myself ever at a grocery outlet bargain market.
Not sure what that's about, but I hear, I hear
good things.
Speaker 10 (09:07):
Uh and uh.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
The I'm also a big smart and final guy too.
I love smart and final.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I don't know why there's one of those in Burbank, right,
there's two. There's literally one in Burbank on Hollywood Way
and and Burbank and then there's one on Hollywood Way
and for Dugo less than a mile apart. By the way,
how about that.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That's that's that's a success right there. That's not cheap
real estate in there.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And I'm also a big fan of Pavilions as well.
I really enjoyed that.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You know, if Pavilion is the same as Vond's, is
it the same? Yes, Mark John's and pavilions are all
the same, right.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, hey, real, real quickly, we got to take a break.
Did they decide on anyone to replace Sam Ruben, our
very dear friend who has passed away.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, they hired Melvin Robert, who is on there. You
can see him every day they're doing the Entertainment Report.
Really nice guy, got a great style, great sense, and uh,
I think people you know, they kept me on the
morning show, which is really nice too, so I'm very
thankful for that. And yeah, you know it's it's I
really I love I love being there, and you know,
(10:15):
we're trying to just keep SAMs. Yeah, trying to keep
Sam's legacy a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And who is I'm her horrible names. Who's the young
lady used to do the podcast with.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Oh, Samantha corte yeast at four pm. She's fantastic. Our
show is back. Our podcast is back every Saturday at
eleven am on the KTLA plus app. It's called do
It Live and it's you know, of course, in honor
of Bill O'Reilly.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
And I also like, uh is it called off.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
The air off the clock? Yeah? Okay, sorry, yeah, now listen,
we've got forty five hours of news a day. I
think at KTLA, so it's hard to keep track.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I didn't mean to, you know, discourage or just despair
those people. I just thought that was the title of
it off the air. But yeah, I appreciate coming on.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Oh you're the best.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Thanks Eddie. Hey, wait, where do people get holding on
social media if they want to follow you?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Easy? At Andy KTLA?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
All right, Andy KTLA, buddy, I appreciate, Uh, say to
everybody for me.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
There you go? Alright, Andy Reespire, there a KTLA Channel
five off the record.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
What was it?
Speaker 6 (11:18):
What did you say?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Was off the air? Off red clock, off the clock?
Out A mighty? It was in my mind.
Speaker 8 (11:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyl from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The Remember the charity that that we were involved with.
I think iHeart was involved with it somehow after the
big fires. It was the Fire Aid Fund and they
raised I think it was one hundred million dollars. A
lot of people jumped in and joined in on it.
Well where did all that money go? Who got it?
(11:52):
Where is it being spent, who's being helped? Maybe you
want to know, Well, I'll tell.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
You roughly one hundred twenty organizations split fifty million dollars
when the first round of Firey funds were released back
in February.
Speaker 12 (12:06):
You can see that huge list of recipients right here now.
Speaker 11 (12:09):
We tried reaching out to every single one of them
and heard back for more than fifty to find out
how that money is being used.
Speaker 12 (12:18):
Biggest names and music raised big money.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
And now.
Speaker 12 (12:23):
It's a lot with Michael Towns to play the piano
again as he rebuilds his life.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Well, I can't go this way.
Speaker 12 (12:30):
In January, he came home to see the Alta Dina
home he inherited up in flames. He's uninsured and is
playing his piano in a rental thanks to financial assistance
from the nonprofit Door of Hope, which received one hundred
thousand dollars from fire Aid.
Speaker 10 (12:47):
I think as a lot of people think that there's
no more resources at all, and that everything is dry
and there's no more help for anybody, and I'm here
to say that that's not true.
Speaker 12 (12:59):
Not only is Door Hope helping Michael Bothron, it's also
paying for equipment so he can restart his music teaching business.
Speaker 13 (13:05):
Oh, this is cool.
Speaker 14 (13:07):
This is the chair, This is the studio.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
Chare right here.
Speaker 12 (13:10):
The Neighborhood Housing Services of La County received one point
five million from fire Aid.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Right who got one point five million.
Speaker 12 (13:16):
The Neighborhood Housing Services of La County received one point
five million from fire Aid to help fire victims get
interim housing and financial counseling.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
We scrape and scrabble around here as nonprofits, so every
single dollar matters, and we're super grateful.
Speaker 12 (13:32):
The Pasadena Humane Society used two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars from fire Aid to treat in house pets burned
and left homeless from the flames.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
That's a great charity. I got two hundred and fifty
grand Pasadena Humane Society.
Speaker 12 (13:44):
Good for them.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
The day is out at that Lucien today taking some
water quality.
Speaker 12 (13:49):
Samples and heal the bay received one hundred thousand it
used to test for contaminants along our coast. As for
Michael say Hi, he says without Fire Aid money, there
is no telling where he and his one month old
daughter he named Faith would be without that money. Certainly
he wouldn't be playing music.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
How about that guy's life. He's got a one month
old burned out of his place and all of his
equipment burned up. I guess he's some kind of music
teacher and his life was turned upside down, but he
was helped by fire aid fund. So let's say a
cool story.
Speaker 11 (14:28):
Organizations receiving fire aid money. We're told none of the
money could be used for administrative costs, but a few
of the nonprofits told us they are using a small
amount of the cash for admin A Fire eight spokesperson
says they will be working with those organizations to divert
that money to direct aid by the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
That's a great story. I hope they I hope it
sounds like everybody's very grateful to get all that dough
one hundred million dollars and the first fifty million has
already gone out. That is a great story.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
You're listening to Tim kun Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I've been gone for a week and the number of
people going on our cruise was at one o five
when I left, and then Leslie came down and said, Hey,
that's the wrong number, And I said, oh, what's the
real number. She said, it's seventy thirty five people have canceled. No,
I'm just kidding. She said, it's she said, it's not
(15:26):
at one hundred and five, it's one hundred and nineteen.
One hundred and nineteen listeners are going on this cruise.
Speaker 15 (15:34):
I have been I've been a part or. I have
seen so many of these things over the year. I've
never ever seen a response like this.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I haven't either.
Speaker 15 (15:43):
I don't know where it's coming from decades. I've seen
these promotions attempted, and I've never seen this success.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
You know, I'm funny to say that, And again, if
we don't promote ourselves, nobody will. But the young ladies
who run the agency putting this whole thing together Travel
Store said they've been doing this for you know, ten, fifteen,
twenty years, and we're twenty to twenty five percent ahead
of any other cruise that we did on the air there,
(16:11):
So that's great. One hundred and nineteen listeners one one
nine and you could be on too if you go
to Conwaycruise dot com. We're going to Alaska. We're going
to Alaska. It's funny.
Speaker 15 (16:23):
I was looking at the at that cruise line in
the ships and stuff. I was blown away. It's definitely
it's a smaller ship, so it's a much more intimate
and it just seems like a much cooler experience than
even just your regular cruise line.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, I think so, I'd rather do that. You know,
you get in one of these ships where there's nine
thousand people, you never see anybody. Yeah, you know, it's
just like a city, and this is gonna be a
smaller community. So it's great. One hundred and nineteen people
are going Conwaycruise dot Com, Conwaycruise dot Com, and you're going,
whether you like or not, you're putting in an deposit,
you're gonna pay it, you're gonna bump a credit card
or whatever you gotta do. We're going. We are going,
(16:57):
and we're gonna leave LA behind. So we're not gonna
have to deal with LA for a solid week from
July twenty first of next year until the twenty eighth.
We can leave everything behind, all the crime, the craziness,
and the trash strike that is going to hit LA.
There's a trash strike going on right now in Boston
(17:19):
and I think it's Republic Trash or whatever is Republic Company,
and they've brought some of their union bosses and union
leaders out here to picket Orange County they've left Orange
County and Anaheim and now they're coming to La County
where they're going to picket some of the offices out here.
(17:41):
And so if you live in La City or La County,
you might be looking at a trash strike and stuff
starts piling up in front of your apartment or a
house or whatever. But this is going to get It's
gonna be hot. There's gonna be a lot of trash
around in La County. As the trash piles up in
Orange County due to workers walking off the job, some
(18:01):
cities have opened temporary trash drop off sites.
Speaker 14 (18:04):
Republic Services Sanitation workers are honoring picket lines and solidarity
with striking workers in Boston. This is video of the
trash piling up there. The Orange County Register says Brea,
Anaheim Bulletin, and Garden Grove are offering the drop off sites.
Trash has not been picked up since Wednesday in some areas.
The Bay Area is also being impacted by the block out.
Speaker 16 (18:27):
I love my grandmother and so obviously she can't take
the trash, so I gotta take the trash.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But it's just crazy out here with this strike show.
I hope we get it settled soon because the trash
is everywhere.
Speaker 10 (18:37):
I'm concerned that if this goes on much longer, we
will have a health public health issue. Our health officer
has said it is not yet, but it could become
one if this continues much longer.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Wow.
Speaker 14 (18:50):
The workers are demanding higher wages and better health benefits.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
That's with almost every strike. I think they all want
higher wages and they want better health benefits. And I
don't know what their contract is. Maybe they deserve it,
who knows.
Speaker 14 (19:03):
The workers are demanding higher wages and better health benefits.
Talks between the striking workers and Republic Services are set
to resume this week.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
There you go, all right, ding dong. Superman is the
big winner over the weekend.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Superman.
Speaker 12 (19:18):
This weekend, everyone had their eyes on this guy up here.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Hey, buddy's up here. The Man of Steel just stole
the box office. David corn Sweat's debut is the beloved
comic book hero premiered over the weekend with.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Me Did you see it yet?
Speaker 12 (19:37):
Stefo?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Sure a pick comic guy? Have you seen Superman yet?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I was gonna actually ask Crow you did. Why do
you don't strike me as a Superman guy? Do you
go alone?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Me?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I grew up on comics Man get outy.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (19:49):
In fact, my daughter that she used to call Superman
or Boyfriend the day Man when Superman Returns came out originally,
So it's like she made a point of asking me
about a month ago if I would go with her.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh that's kind of cool.
Speaker 15 (20:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, she's she's I mean, and I got
her into the comic book movies because I did it
as a kid.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I was huge in that stuff. Does she have that
personalized plate soup scal Where'd you go to see it?
At the Claremont Lemonley Theaters big screen?
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
It wasn't like an Imax or anything like that. But yeah,
how is it? It's great.
Speaker 15 (20:22):
I mean it's it's a little bit of a departure
from comic book movies that you are used to now,
but in a good way. I think it's much more
I think kid friendly and accessible. Oh good, But I
don't think it a bad way. It's it's some could
say it's a little bit more fluff. It's not as
like serious or dark as a lot of the comic
books got so it's much more accessible to people.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And I hate to be a you know, a super
shallow guy. But it's worked so far. How long is
it like? Two hours? Okay?
Speaker 15 (20:50):
And that's that's one of the other things that people
talk that they that James Gunn knows what he's doing.
He can make a really good story. And it's and
it's definitely a James Gunn style of a film if
you're familiar with that, like Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's very much in that vein.
Speaker 15 (21:02):
The dialogue is really quick, a lot of humor, a
lot more humor that you would expect from a good movie,
especially Superman movie. My Jen, she says it's it was
one of her favorite superhero movies that she's seen in
a long term.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Really really enjoyed it. Oh wait, so she went with
the Jen and she and Sid and Aidan Jensn. Wow,
that's a cool day. Everybody really enjoyed. It's a very
good movie and they have a great escape. Yeah, I'd like,
I think I'm to go see it this week and
I enjoy Superman. Good Superman movie. Uh all right.
Speaker 15 (21:35):
Christopher Reeveson makes a little quick appearance in it that
I got to keep your eyes on it. But yeah,
he makes a quick appearance.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Who's he playing? Uh, plays a reporter. Okay, I'll check
it out. Well, they took more work away from Mark Thompson. Huh.
Speaker 15 (21:48):
Well will Is is a reporter on ABC. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I didn't know that. Yeah, we're here locally no, no, no,
nationally news. He's an ABC News report. He's always on
Good Morning America.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I gotta check that out. Oh yeah, Will Reeves, yeah, man,
he was young when his dad died.
Speaker 15 (22:02):
We play, yes, And in fact, it was funny they
had that that Superman or that Christopher Reeves movie that
came out at the beginning of the year. That's on
HBO now you can catch I can't remember what it's called,
but it's like Superman Chris Reeves Story or something of
that effect. That it talks about Christopher Reeves when he
got paralyzed and his whole process, and he interviewed like
everybody associated with him. Uh, and Will Reeves was seeing
(22:23):
it a lot. And at the end of the near
the end of that movie, Will Reeves talks about because
his mom, Reeves's wife died like a year and a
half after he was from lung cancer, wasn't he Yeah, yeah,
so he talks about that, and it is just one
of the most heartbreaking down How long how he talks
about that.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
How old was he when when his dad died? You know,
was he like seven or so? Yeah, it was something
like that. Yeah, and his mom, I know it wasn't
when he died.
Speaker 15 (22:46):
No, no, no, because he because he's you know, his
twenties thirties now, and Reeves died when he died of
oh six, I want to say years ago.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, so yeah, he could be Yeah, he was, he
was very young. Yeah. Man, man, what a tragedy. I mean,
you know, your dad is Superman and falls off a
horse and gets paralyzed and then passed away, and then
your mom, who's never had a cigarette in your life,
has stage four diagnosed the stage four lung cancer.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (23:11):
They said the break that Reeves had, if it was
one inch to the left, he would have died instantly.
One inch to the right or quarter INChO the right,
he would have gotten up and walked away.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Yeah man, oh man, Yeah, I gotta go see it.
That's a great review, buddy. I appreciate that. Hey, we
have time for this real quick. Loha. Tim Conway, Judy

demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
It's that time of year where all four major sports
are not going to be played. So if you're a
betting man, this is a very tough time to get through.
There's no baseball, football, basketball, or baseball baseball, football, basketball, hockey.
All four sports are not being played over the next
couple of days because of the All Star Game. And
(25:09):
it's going to be in Georgia. It's going to be
in Atlanta, and that will be the first time it's back.
Remember it was moved from there, I think back in
twenty twenty one when there was Yeah, back in twenty
twenty one, the game was moved to Denver with the
protests against Election Integrity Act of twenty twenty one. And
(25:31):
so now they're moving it back to Georgia, back to Atlanta,
and there's going to be heavy representation by your Los
Angeles Dodgers. Yeah, I think it's five players.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
From Baseball All Star Game.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
The Dodgers will be incredibly well represented leading the way
with five players in the Midsummer Classic. In addition to
those players, skipper Dave Roberts is there. Doca's leading the
way for the National League. Today, Roberts announcing his lineup
of course, he's going to have oheo Tani showing your
tiny hitting lead off Freddy Freeman will about fourth, Will
Smith in the sixth spot. For Freddy, it's going to
(26:05):
be a special moment going back to Atlanta.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
He played the.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
First twelve years of his career in the atl and
won a World Series there in twenty twenty one. He's
always gotten a warm welcome when he goes back, and
it will likely be the same tomorrow night in the
All Star Game.
Speaker 17 (26:19):
It's special every time I come off the ovations they
give me every time I come back last four years,
so I spent a lot of wonderful years here, brought
a championship back here. So I'm looking forward to today
and tomorrow, especially tomorrow and playing in front of his
fans again where they're not dooing me in the last
four years.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
So I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
And you know, I'm excited to be back.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Special day for Clayton Kershaw too.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
The commission Rob Madfred giving Kurseh legend status to get
into his eleventh All Star Game. Wow, Clayton knows he
shouldn't be there, but he's soaking up every moment.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
All Right, Kershaw is gonna be the eleventh All Star game.
That's unbelievable, Commissioner, just let me come.
Speaker 13 (26:57):
Basically is really awesome, weird feeling at the same time,
you know, not really being deserving to be here, but
it doesn't make it anything less special. And I'm going
to enjoy it. You know, family's gonna enjoy We're gonna
have a blast. So it's uh, you know, anytime you
get to come, you just you just try to embrace it.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Chrishall also says the word legend it makes him feel
makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
We'll see how.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Uncomfortable the fans make him if he gets a chance
to pitch.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
We know Paul Skins will be on the mound.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Robert's picking him to start for the NL for the
second straight year. Here's a stud from El Toro High.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
And it's just such a huge honor to you know,
be on this stage and play with, you know, all
these unbelievable players, some of them that I've you know,
watched for for years and to be able to share
a field with them is an awesome experience. So great
to be back there. You go.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
That guy's got going on at Paul Skeens he played
for Pittsburgh and is dating that gymnast who went to LSU.
So he's got it going on. Man, being young in
this country and being good at what you do, whether
you're pitching or athlete or you know, artists, whatever. There's
a lot of opportunity out there, a lot of opportunity,
(28:04):
all right. In lesser news, not so heavy here, Starbucks
flavor caused the hell is this? They're gonna start charging
a flat fee for flavor.
Speaker 18 (28:16):
Well, if you like a little vanilla or hazel nut
and your Starbucks latte, you're gonna want to hear this.
The coffee chain is changing its pricing structure for additional flavors,
effective immediately. Customers will have to pay eighty cents extra
to add syrups and sausage to non flavor drinks. It'll
be the same price whether you get one pumper four pumps. Previously,
(28:38):
prices vary depending on flavors, number of pumps and drinks
being bought.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
All right, So it's just eighty cents now, a flat
fee for you to get flavor added to your drink.
Added flavor, you know, pumps, some chi vanilla. That whole
run again. I was up in the Portland area in
Oregon over the last week and they have and I
think there's one out near Krozier. They have Dutch Brothers.
(29:06):
Dutch Brothers might wipe Starbucks out. The line was super
long at all the Dutch Brothers that we went to.
And it's the future of those drinks. That's Kiki's, that's
Keek's Jam Dutch Brothers. Yeah, yeah, you know, it is
taken off though it is and it's really popular with
(29:26):
kids because it's sweet as hell.
Speaker 16 (29:28):
I mean it's just like a cup of sugar. I
just like it because they had like a protein style
like a vanilla aute. It was really good. I don't
get I don't like it that sweet. So it was
just but it's not so it's not as much sugar.
It's got some of that you know, stuff you need,
you know.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
And I didn't know this. You can make drinks double
these smooth by saying double blend. Did you know that
that I did not know. Yeah, yeah, they blended twice,
so it's more like a milkshake and you don't have
those ice chunks. But yeah, double blended. I learned that
over the vacation. That's the thing. Did you did you
your daughter have some?
Speaker 5 (30:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Every day, oh literally, every morning we woke up and
we got in the car, it went to Dutch Brothers.
