Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Jay Leno's
coming on with Us today. Donald Trump's coming on with
Us today. So we got Jay Leno.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
A couple of big names.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yeah, big big day.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Jay Leno at four thirty five, Donald Trump at six pm.
But we start with Monks. You got monks. Michael Monks
with k FI. Michael Monks, how you bub.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I'm well, good afternoon from downtown Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Oh good? Did that chick get her job back?
Speaker 5 (00:32):
She did not.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
As a matter of fact, it wasn't even close. We've
been talking all week because she needed ten council members
to come through for her.
Speaker 6 (00:39):
Well, she got.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Two of them to say, yes, you should still be
the fire chief. Unfortunately for her, thirteen the council monbers
said no. So it was a blowout on Spring Street today. Wait,
so it was thirteen to two.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
It was thirteen to two.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Some of the people who voted against it did express
remorse about the situation in which they all found themselves.
They said, this is very difficult. We've worked with the
chief in stricts and we have respect for her, but
really to have a mayor who has fired a chief
have to work with that chief again is really untenable.
So they moved pretty quickly and said no, you.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Can't come back. Okay, but she's still going to be
on the fire department though.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
That's what it looks like.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
So when she was fired, she did exercise her right
to remain in a lesser role within the department. Now,
whether she'll stay there now it's unclear. Obviously she had
planned to appeal this thing, which she did and then lost,
but she might also be able to pursue some legal
maneuvers here. She did hint that she felt this was
retaliatory because she spoke out against this city's budgeting of
(01:45):
the fire department. She says that it wasn't necessarily her
planning her preparedness for the department leading up to the
palis A fire.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
She says they were handicapped.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Buy budget cuts, that they didn't have enough people, they
didn't have enough equipment, and that's why you ended up
up with the situation that you had. So when she
said that to the media and got pushed back from
the mayor, she might suggest that this was retaliatory in
nature and pursue legal measures.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
You know, I think this all goes back to the
election when Mayor Bass was running against what's his name, uh,
the fire department, the rank and file, the unions, all
the fire departments in.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
LA they all supported Rick Caruso.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Well, the union was out in force in favor of
Kristin Crowley today, and the union is very influencing.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
When when she ran for mayor against uh, uh, you know, against.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Uh, you know, when Caruso.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, but when Caruso ran for mayor against Bass, the
fire department supported Crusoe. So I think this is kind
of a payback by Bass to say, hey, you.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Know with me, I left with you.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
It's possible that there was happened ramifications.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
You know, next year's of city election, including the raised,
there'll be some council seats that are up for grabs,
and the union will probably get involved and won't soon
forget those who voted against the chief that they wanted reinstated.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Did Bass show up for the vote today, No, A.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Lot of people did. This was a very crowded event.
I haven't seen a city hall event like this in
the year that I've been covering.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Maybe she couldn't. I mean, it was crowded shows.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
This might be an old story, but I hear I'm
reading on on on news here online that she was
in Ghana today.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Wow, I don't think she'll be going back to Ghana.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I finished business.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Man, all right, So what did she do?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
It's I think it's gonna be very tough for her
to be in the fire department now. And the new
chief says, hey, I'm I need to ride downtown.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Hey Chris, Then well, I don't write downtown.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I don't know that she can be designated chauffeur. The
way that it works when you are demoted from chief
is you can go back to any role you held previously,
so the ranks from firefighter to captain and that sort
of thing. She can go back to one of those roles.
But again that might be just as untenable for her
as it would be for the mayor to work with
(04:07):
Kristin Crowley again. So again, it may have been a
retirement situation, you know, something for her pension, or it
may have been just to buy some time before she
got the city Hall to state her case.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
She did state her case. She yeah, it was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, she was pretty it's pretty supportive of of all
the information and all the facts that were behind her
informing the mayor of these wins.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
That's right, she said that the mayor was informed. She
basically went through three things that she called false accusations,
including the fact that she did tell the mayor that
that you know that the fire department anyway told the
Mayor's team that there was danger on the horizon. She
also disputed the suggestion that she sent a thousand firefighters
home that morning when they could have been fighting the
(04:51):
Palisades fire, when she says that no, there was nowhere
to put them because so many of our fire trucks,
so many pieces of our apparatus are in the repair lot,
so that there would have.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Been no place to put these folks.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
So she pushed back on each point, deliberately hoping to
chisel off some support. Ultimately, only Council Member Tracy Park,
who represents the Palisades incidentally, and Councilwoman Monic Rodriguez of
the northeast from San Frando Valley came to her defense here.
But again, some of the folks who voted against her
did say, we're sorry about this situation. It's just not
(05:26):
a good thing for the city to have it type.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But they know they got to vote with the mayor
if they're going to get anything done or anything for
their district. But you think it's gonna be weird though,
when the new chief says, God, I love a coffee.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Hey Crowley Also.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, if I were the mayor, I would not put
I would not put Kristin Crowley in the fire department.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
That has to show up to put my house out.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Well, you know, the mayor lives in Hancock Park, in
the city's mayoral house. It's not in the hour zone
that that you know, something terrible might happen, and so
she'll need to keep an eye out for that.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
But the fire fighters will shamps show up to help.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You know, there is you know, this situation politically and
also governmentally because it's budget season again. They're crafting next
year's budget and so all these questions swirling around how
the fire department is funded. They're going to have to
deal with that again this year with more eyes focused
on the amount of money going to the fire department
after what we experienced in the palis ads in La
(06:24):
City proper, and that's going to be even more challenging
this year because the city's financial situation is even worse
than it was last year. So that's the next piece
of waist.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
LA is more broke this year than they were last year.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Incidentally, because they've paid so much in lawsuits that could
be you know, police wrongdoing, it could be infrastructure related
where people were injured, and it's a lot of lawsuits
that have also involved former employees.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
So ironically they.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Might have another lawsuit coming from their former chief that
could put them in a further hole from helping the
fire department.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
What a mess the city of la And you.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Gotta get out on tim, I mean, you're you're you know,
you're on the sideline just to throwing Molotov cocktails. You
got to get in there and show the city. Now,
you know what.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I've lived in the city of La. I would never
move back to.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
The city of lah. Wow. I hate to hear I
hate to hear things. Yeah, that's okay, that's right. We
have we have we have a candle in the window.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Waiting for you.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I don't know if you saw the monks, I know
you're very busy. I don't know if you saw the
waterman blow out. Where was that Whenetka Chatsworth or somewhere
out there, huge huge ass waterman busted for no reason,
no reason at all, just broke. So all these watermans
and all these you know, these big trunk lines they
call them, they're all one hundred plus years old, and man,
all we need is one little trembler in the valley
(07:41):
and they're all gonna blow.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
It's hard.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
It's it's exactly the type of conversation that takes place
during budget season because you know, they look at the
debt that they're in and the overspending that they're dealing with,
the over budgeting, with the lawsuits in particular, and they
can't address the infrastructure. It's not just the occasional water
main that breaks. It's the fact that walking down many
of our city streets, particularly here in downtown, the lights
(08:03):
are off and there's nothing, there's no plan, there's no
money to address that.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And they're also going to miss out on a lot
of property tax from you know, very wealthy people in
the Palisades.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Property tax, payroll tax. Because of all the jobs that
have been lost because of it. It's a big, big mess.
And don't forget, we have a big event coming up
a few years down the horizon that they've got to
prepare for a convention center that needs to be a
remodel to the tune of a billion dollars for their
own estimates. Wow, and they are scrounging the couches at
City Hall to see if anybody's dropped any dimes.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Will that'd be a net win for the city. Do
you think the Olympic shure? And what do you guys think?
In other words, after you've spent that billion, after you've rehabbed,
after you I think so.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, Well, because we already have all, you know, the infrastructure.
Montreal got screwed because they had to build all those stadiums.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Sure, they're still paying those off right from Montreal.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Same it's true in Greece.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, but we've got everything here. It's all ready to go,
you know, so we'll put on They say this.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Will be a no bill Olympics.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
They don't have to build any datiums because they've done
it twice before, so they're ready for that.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
They will have to.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
They have allowed the fast tracking of other pieces of infrastructure.
It might be like a media tent or security perimeters
and those sorts of things. They'll have to build. But
those are temporary. They say they're not building any permanent
structures this time. But the convention center is a big component.
It's hosting five events and they need to invest. What
are they host dollars to make it work? Judo, fencing,
(09:25):
taekwon do and ping pong, which I think.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
That sounds cool. Okay, Conway, we got to go down
to that. Wouldn't you like to see a little ping pong?
I'll watch ping pong me too. Yeah, I watched, I
watched judo, I watched, I watch all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I like to watch ping pong, judo. I don't know,
you know.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I actually watch these incredible ping pong points. I send
them to certain people because I know that I don't
want to be the annoying guys. Or send me some
I watched on Instagram and I recommend it. It's incredible
and as the I mean the the level of play
of ping pong is incredible.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Either I'm getting old, I'm losing my hearing. Are you
saying ding do or ping pong?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I'm saying ding dong tik dog. Yeah, I watch a
lot of ding dok.
Speaker 3 (10:05):

Speaker 3 (11:20):
What is the lyric? Is that an suv? Or is
it a sedan?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It's an suv, is it? But it's it's like the
new big suv sedan, which is kind of like driving

your the s and suv, you know the sports stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:36):

It was good. We're test driving all this to all
of these now, and.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
When you test drive, do you find it hard to
get off the lot without committing to anything?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
No. I think they're used to not making the deal
right on the spot. Okay, at least there were there's
no pressure to make the deal right on the spot.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
You know my move that always works. It works one
hundred percent of the time. I go late in the
afternoon and when one of those guys approaches me, Hey,
what can I put you in today? You know one
of those things I said, Ah, I'm here. My wife's
dropping her car off at service and she'll be here
about ten minutes. I'm just walking around well before she
(12:22):
gets here. And they always leave me alone.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
They oh, really, Oh that's good.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
And then I get my car when they're not looking
and you're gone.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I was. There was a moment long time ago that
I was considering, like really getting there, like a cool
sports car. And I always wanted to Porsche, you know.
So I went to Porsche dealership because it's right there.
It was like I walked past it every day. And
so I went in and I'm kind of looking at
the car and the salesman comes up to me and says,
you're thinking about this car. It's a beautiful car. And
(12:52):
I said, I just don't think I can. I'm not sporty.
I can't sell this look and he said, oh, I
think you can. And I want to buy the car
right then. For that response, you know, it was like
he didn't he didn't flinch. You know.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I I've never looked at a Porsche. I don't I
can't afford it. And I feel like somebody just roll me.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That's what I feel. I feel me at the time,
I felt as though you're tempting the fates, like you're
finally I finally was making some money, and I thought,
this is how the fates catch up to you, you
do something, you know, you get you know, you have
a big spend because you think you're a big deal,
and then you get slammed by life. I just couldn't
do it.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
The only real sports car I had was I bought
a like a fifteen or sixteen year old Corvette. It
was I was nineteen, it was like nineteen ninety five,
and the thing was built nineteen eighty and it was
only five thousand bucks. So I bought it, fixed it up,
cleaned it up, and I took it to Vegas. And
(13:53):
I remember I was going one hundred and thirty eight
miles an hour on the way to Vegas.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And I and I said to myself, I gotta stop
doing this. I gotta stop doing this. I mean I was.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I was thirty two at the time that I was
doing that. You know, that's like you do that when
you're eighteen. No you eighteen, you do it and you
get into a wreck. Thirty two you do it and
you kind of go, oh, I got it. I got
away with that one. So I'm not going to make
a regular but I was. I wasn't on the freeways
on one of those long, you know, desert roads, right
but at one thirty eight, you know, if you start
(14:25):
doing cartwheels, it's over.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Oh yeah, well, I mean if you just even moved
the wheel a little bit, you're gonna be I saw
it down after that. What did Leno tell us the
last time we sere his top speed?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It was in that it was like two hundred and.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Dred and forty miles an hour. Yee, guy's going for
it in life, all right, we la, you know, we
have the police chase. So I don't know if you
saw it, crows, you take a look at you see
a police chase, and.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Then I did, I did?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I did?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
It looked pretty good, ma'am, until it didn't, and then
it did again.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
They tried to pit that guy five hundred times and
he kept going, and you know, he kept going and
going and going.
Speaker 8 (15:00):
They look like when they when they finally got him
in cups and they put him, you know, the over.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
The hood of a of a police car.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
As he was kind of walking up to it, another
officer walked up to him to look like it might
have been a little high ranking, look like he was
given a.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Little bit of a scolding.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Well, they were pissed, you know. They tried to pit
him like nine times, and he wouldn't pit. Yeah, and
so they finally Uh first one was beautiful.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
I'd never understand when they pit, why don't they put
a car behind him?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Well, they said on TV that they would have been
in a line of fire.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I don't know if I believe. I don't know, but
you know, we're right in front of him. But those cars,
you know, when they spin out like that. And I
learned this today. I think it was on k CAL
channel nine. You know they have those producers off to
the side they go for for information on KKI.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Liked those good.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah, yeah, but he said, if your car is going forward,
then immediately your car your wheels are spinning backwards. It
the computer will shut the engine off. And that's why
people when they get pit, they can't turn the engine
on anymore. But the engine resets after five minutes and
then you can.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Turn it on.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
That's how the guy split after getting you know, pit pitted?
Is that the term pitted is? Yeah, he got pitted,
its pitted?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Whatever it is, all right, jay Leno is coming on
with us.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, and I got some car questions for jay Leno.
One of them has to do with that pursuit today
and another one has to do with oil changes.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Because I feel like I was lied.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
To last night. All right, that's not good.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, I don't like being lied to. I saw a
guy steel last night, went to home, deep home. So
I guy walk out of the circular saw right out
the window, a circular saw?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
What kind of what kind did he go for? Did
you see? You know?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I think it was It wasn't crassman. What's the black,
red and black box crows?
Speaker 3 (16:43):

and he gave me the you know, browse up.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Don't say anything.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Did he look like a tough guy or no, I
look like a guy who needed some butt dough. Yeah,
And I didn't bust his balls, because I've seen what
happens when you do bust his balls.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Sometimes they kill you.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh. I just didn't realize that.
Speaker 1 (17:14):

to stop a guy and they pushed him where he
hit his head and he died.

Speaker 7 (18:50):
The autopot store, the oil filters have been on the
shelf now for eight months.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Now, suddenly put it put a tariff on that way above.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, terrify, Yeah, you know it's oil filters, like fifteen dollars.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Well it'll take a while, poly but yeah, probably will.
Everything goes up and you change your own oil.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
I changed my own arm.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
How do you know how many courts to put it?
Is it? Say on the side of the engine.
Speaker 9 (19:12):
Say on the side of mangines.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Oh there's a manual. You might look into your glove box.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
I'm sure you christine conditions having never been opened, and
it'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Okay, I got a question about oil changes. Okay, I
go and get mine done at one of these you
know places where you go in.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
They you know, if it course, yourself would be beneath you. Yes,
he's a big strike.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
The reason why I don't do it myself, he says,
I've done it myself before. And then the oil filter
fell off. There's oil everywhere the engine.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
No, it didn't fall off.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
You didn't put it on correctly.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I put it on correctly. It was a bad filter.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So so I go in to get my oil done
and the guy says, do you want synthetic or regular?
And I said, well, if I get regular, how many
more miles before I come back? He said five thousand.
I said, I said, okay, if I get synthetic, how
many miles before I come back? He goes five thousand.
I said, oh, well, then why would I pay more
(20:08):
for the oil. And he's like, oh, that's a good point,
but you should really get synthetic.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
Well it's a better synthetic is probably a better oil lubricates.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Right, But that's my favorite thing.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
I hate these ads for these quick change oil places.
The guy's driving along and his the dominot hits three
thousand miles, the rods coming through the pan, you know,
the endine knocking is bang, it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
It's so stupid you can can you afford to change it?
Like every fifteen thousand miles? Some cars you can go
fifteen thousand. Modern cars, Moner cars are very very good.
You know, there's this myth that cars. I hear people go, oh,
my car's got sixty thousand miles.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
I got to get rid of it. No, it'll go
one hundred. I got it.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
I have a sixty eight Mercedes. I got three and
twenty seven thousand miles.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Wow. And it just keeps me it's wrong.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Your car will last a long time if you just
put a modicum of care involvement right, just take care
of it, especially in California. You don't have humidity where
you know, you don't get you're not getting water in
the crank case from humidity going up and down, all
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
J lettos with us when if I drive, I drive
a twenty twenty three Lincoln Courssair.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Of course you do.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah, I bought my old one. I had a Lincoln Navigator.
I bought it in two thousand and seven, right when
my daughter was born, and I had for eighteen years,
and I loved it. It was just not time to
get a new car because I didn't trust it anymore.
You know, when you don't trust your car anymore, it's
time to get a new one.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
And why didn't Why what did it do that made you.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
The electric one out?
Speaker 9 (21:40):
What do you mean the electric one out?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
The air condition would work like one set of every
five days and then but just.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Drive on that day.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
That's your problem?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Yeah, right?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
But high octane? When do you put high octane in
a car? Is that a scam?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
No, it's not a scam if your car is designed
to run on high ocadgen. What cars are designed high performance? Vmw's,
Mustang's Corvettes, cars with high compression ratios.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
But not a station wagon?
Speaker 9 (22:06):
Well no, not a station wagon?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
No no?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Did you ever have a Lincoln station wagon? Well, but
there's no Lincoln Mercury station wagon.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
I never had.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
No, you never had Your family never had a family
station wagon?
Speaker 9 (22:19):
No no, we never had a station wagon.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I misread your bid. Any further questions, I misread your bio.
Then I don't even think why would that be in
my bid? By the way, Leno whose family had.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
A station wagon?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Who boasted he's never owned a station wagon?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Medio station wagon and one of those.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
One thing you won't find in the Leno collection.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
This is a station wagon, all right, So I have
a bunch of station How do you pass on your
old cars?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
How do you pass this smog test?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Because obviously they don't some of your cars don't have
catillact converters, right.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Well, your Cadillac converters came in about what actionally.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
California the late mid sixties. That was late stay, yeah,
that's say late sixties.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
Well that's why we have.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
This new bill seven Assembly Bill seven twelve.
Speaker 9 (23:04):
It's you know, every.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Other state has a rolling exemption. It's back thirty five years.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Oh yeah, yeah, California froze it at seventy six, nineteen
seventy six. There aren't that many pre nineteen seventy six
cars on the road, and a lot of cars between
seventy six and now you can't even get small equipment
to repay them because it's just not there are enough
of them for the manufacturers to make any money to
(23:30):
make that equipment.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
So you wind up getting sucked, you have to sell
your car.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Whatever.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
So this new Assembly bill makes it a rolling exemption,
the same as every other state would.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
It would be thirty five years.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Okay, if your car is thirty five years or older,
you don't have to get it smocked.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Is that something you wrote or a champion? I didn't wrote.
Speaker 7 (23:49):
They asked me about it, and I thought, because it
used to be a rolling exemption every year, it would be.
It used to be twenty five years back. Right, There
aren't that many pre eighty nine cars on the road.
And the people that are driving parading nine cars that
are not like classics, are.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Usually people they are just getting buying.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Well, you're just getting buying doing that smog check and
then you fail. Then you got to pay again to
test and fail. Yeah, yeah, I mean it seems to
me they should just make it like every Like if
you have an older car in Nevada and you come
into California and your car doesn't meet small you gotta
get rid of your car.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
You're screwed, is that right?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
You got to sell it somebody.
Speaker 9 (24:25):
Well you can't. You can't. It won't pass smog, you
can't get it registered here.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Wait, but you can't go to one of these guys
in Burbank or Tarzan.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
You know, in the old days, Tim Conway of slipping
the five dollars.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
No, no, that it does.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
It doesn't work anymore. You know that used to work,
but now everything is computerized.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Ah.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
You plug your car into a computer, the computer goes
to Sacramento and it has all the information right there.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Now that sucks. How many of your cars don't have
catalog converters?
Speaker 7 (24:56):
Well, my nineteen oh six Stanley Steamer does not have. Yeah,
I have quite a few cars about Ketley. So you
need this to pass?
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Well, why you're here, Joe, Well.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
I can get I can get mine to pass because
I have a full shop and I know how to
do it and pass legally, not cheat on it. I mean,
it doesn't do you any good to really cheat on it,
because I'm the guy that make your example of if.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
That was Okay, I'm gonna ask you a question.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Please don't answer until we come back, all right, Okay,
But I want to know from you, the car guy,
the best car wax in the world, because I went
to look for it. There's nine hundred on the shelf.

Jay Leno, who is the most knows more about cars
than Mark Thompson, is going to tell.

KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
All right, Thompson's here, Jay Leno is whether you're gonna

Yeah, Friday and Saturday. Friday and Saturday and entertaining the public.
Speaker 9 (25:54):
Yeah, try it out some jokes.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
That's cool.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
Where did you get this joke?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
All right?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
This is real? I saw this uh in Oregon.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
There's a group of women that are like professional protesters, right,
and there was protesting the war. What they do is
they go to a public place, they take off all
their clothes, they lay down on the ground and they
spell out the word peace.
Speaker 10 (26:19):
And you know who I feel starry for there? The
girl that has to be the A. I mean, that's
gonna be the parents come down.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
That's enough.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
You know what I love about that joke is that
the audience anticipate.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, you don't even have to tell the punchline. You know,
sorry for the girl?
Speaker 9 (26:45):
That's always?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Why am I always the A?
Speaker 7 (26:48):
Why can't it be a small as to be a
capital A?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
That's great? That's gonna kill on Friday.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
That'll do.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You got the seven thirty at Flappers on Fridays, Saturday
and Burbank.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Hey, I got a question about that.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
When you're trying out jokes, do you ever like think
you get if you get like a poor response or
something like that, do you ever think I'm gonna try
that again, like another time, or do you just kind
of toss away?
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Well?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Sorry?
Speaker 7 (27:14):
What I used to do was, uh, you know, Johnny
Carson gave me Johnny Carson came to see me years
ago and he said, you know, a funny kid, but
you're you're funnier than your jokes. Your jokes aren't that funny.
You get to have a stronger joke, he said. You
know what you should do, He said, go on stage,
just tell the joke as flat and as boringly as possible,
(27:36):
and if it gets a laugh, okay, you know you
got a funny joke. And next time you do you
add the voice, the physical comedy the other thing, and
now you got something that works on both on both levels,
you know. And that's what I try to do with
every joke because because you know, I used to go
on Hey, I used to be loud and and like,
you're just getting jokes just by mannerisms, you know, But
(27:59):
you want to have also a solid written funny joke
too to back it up.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
That makes sense, right, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
And you know there are some comedians today who have
incorporated that flat delivery and that's their whole.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
That's fine too. Yeah, and that like Nate barget Sieh
like yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:18):
Yeah, he's very funny guy. He's great.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
He's terrific, smart, clean, funny.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
I really I saw him years and years ago and
I thought this guy's really good.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
He's taken off.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
And you know, if somebody asked him recently, I saw
this on YouTube. You know, when you're gonna go to
Hollywood and make a TV show? And why would he
do that? You know he's making he's he's selling out Arenas, right,
Why would he come to LA and have ninety people
tell him what to do and water it down, put
commercials in it, hire you know, four unfunny writers.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Why would he do that? Well, now you put it
that way, I guess it makes perfect sense. Like I
mean want four unfunny writers? Well, Jay, you know that.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
You know there's there's like five, there's like four showrunners
in LA that can make a good sitcom. Maybe probably maybe,
And he's not going to get one of them, you know,
as a new guy. Lenda, you know that Seinfeld got
very lucky. You know that that that he put that
whole cast together and that caught fire.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
You know, it's not lucky, I mean because the show
did not take off originally.
Speaker 9 (29:15):
Don't forget they were going to cancel it.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I know, That's what I'm saying. He got lucky that
they that they kept it going. Well, look, I think
he's one of the funniest guys in the world.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I mean, he was able to change it on the fly.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
But you can you can be one of the funniest
guys in the world and not have a good sitcom.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Well, you know that's true.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
I mean radio show.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Like my dad said, he said, you know, comedy runs
in your in your family. Too bad, it doesn't run
on your show. That's tough love.
Speaker 9 (29:45):
Too bad you run from comedy another one.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
He also said, comedy is like diabetes. It skips a generation.
It's another insult. I ought at one of these days.
But you're you're good friend. Norm McDonald tried to do
a sitcom. I think he's one of the funniest guys
in the world.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
Nor is one of the funniest guys.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
He didn't hit.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
He just doesn't have he doesn't have a filter, you know,
so he doesn't There are some people that can't say no, no,
we can't.
Speaker 9 (30:13):
You can't do that, you know. You know, I remember
he had some joke.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
Using the R word, as they say, and he went
on a show and changed it to down syndrome.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
No, just get rid of the joke.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
Get rid of the joke, you know. But nobody's funnier,
nobody's funny.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Yeah, it's so great. Yeah, back in the old days.
You're you know, a while ago. Did you ever see
Red Fox perform? Yes, I did, well, yes, I'll tell you.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
Yeah, I can't do the joke. But I remember at
Westbury Red Fox. At Westbury they have signs up, this
is not Fred Stanford.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
This is Red Fox. This is a triple X rated show.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
And the axes are like fifteen feet tall all around
the building, and all the Jewish grandmothers are.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Oh, they bring their little grandson.
Speaker 9 (31:11):
They came.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
When I tell you that, I can't tell you the joke,
but I will tell you the joke during the break,
Oh my god.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
They after that they literally ran out.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
He was famous for the party albums. The filth just
filthy stuff. Yeah, but you made me think when you said,
you know, Burghetzi works clean as I was just thinking,
oh my god, that's you know. I mean the club
comics were some of them are just famous for peppering
their act with some stuff, and then there were those
who are wall right.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
Yeah, that's fine, but I mean, you have to have
two acts. You have to won for the general public
and you know, a late night show.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Sure, Aggie, something inside.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
Shacky Green was the funniest. He had really fun Shacky
Green had the best Sinatra Joe. He comes out on stage,
he says, you know, Juman right across the street, Frank
Sinatra's performing, and Frank Sinatras saved my life.
Speaker 9 (31:59):
I was in an alley.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
These five guys are kicking the crap out of me,
and Frank said, okay, he's had enough.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Jo is with us.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You can see him live on Friday or Saturday at
Flappers in Burbank. All right, So the best car wax
that you know of I look at some the other day, maguires.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Wires all they're all turtle wax is very good.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
Huh, They're all very good.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Turtle We're all very good. We have our own line
of Jay Little car care products.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
We developed it.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
The thing is we developed it with chemists at up
my shot. I didn't buy somebody else's products, put my
name on it, right, And my attitude is, let's try
to go on volume. Keep because when you don't get
any of these products, the first ingredient is all with water,
you know, so you want to have the least amount
of water as possible. So let's keep the profit in
mind as little as we can, because I make money
(32:53):
doing other stuff. So and it works, it does well. Well,
we're at Walmart now, we'll do huge this year.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
And it's called Jane Leno's Car.

a fifty one Nash and it had a device on it.

press a button. It would light a cigarette and roll
down and flip up in the air and the guy
catches it.

Fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Wow, but that's that's an old story. Yeah, that's all.

Speaker 9 (34:44):
You know, I don't mind being it that. It's fine.

Lenos with this is Great Conway Thompson Lenos with Us
on kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Now, you can always hear us live on kf I
AM six forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Jay Leno's
coming on with Us today. Donald Trump's coming on with
Us today. So we got Jay Leno.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
A couple of big names.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yeah, big big day.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Jay Leno at four thirty five, Donald Trump at six pm.
But we start with Monks. You got monks. Michael Monks
with k FI. Michael Monks, how you bub.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I'm well, good afternoon from downtown Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Oh good? Did that chick get her job back?
Speaker 5 (00:32):
She did not.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
As a matter of fact, it wasn't even close. We've
been talking all week because she needed ten council members
to come through for her.
Speaker 6 (00:39):
Well, she got.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Two of them to say, yes, you should still be
the fire chief. Unfortunately for her, thirteen the council monbers
said no. So it was a blowout on Spring Street today. Wait,
so it was thirteen to two.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
It was thirteen to two.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Some of the people who voted against it did express
remorse about the situation in which they all found themselves.
They said, this is very difficult. We've worked with the
chief in stricts and we have respect for her, but
really to have a mayor who has fired a chief
have to work with that chief again is really untenable.
So they moved pretty quickly and said no, you.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Can't come back. Okay, but she's still going to be
on the fire department though.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
That's what it looks like.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
So when she was fired, she did exercise her right
to remain in a lesser role within the department. Now,
whether she'll stay there now it's unclear. Obviously she had
planned to appeal this thing, which she did and then lost,
but she might also be able to pursue some legal
maneuvers here. She did hint that she felt this was
retaliatory because she spoke out against this city's budgeting of
(01:45):
the fire department. She says that it wasn't necessarily her
planning her preparedness for the department leading up to the
palis A fire.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
She says they were handicapped.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Buy budget cuts, that they didn't have enough people, they
didn't have enough equipment, and that's why you ended up
up with the situation that you had. So when she
said that to the media and got pushed back from
the mayor, she might suggest that this was retaliatory in
nature and pursue legal measures.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
You know, I think this all goes back to the
election when Mayor Bass was running against what's his name, uh,
the fire department, the rank and file, the unions, all
the fire departments in.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
LA they all supported Rick Caruso.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Well, the union was out in force in favor of
Kristin Crowley today, and the union is very influencing.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
When when she ran for mayor against uh, uh, you know, against.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Uh, you know, when Caruso.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, but when Caruso ran for mayor against Bass, the
fire department supported Crusoe. So I think this is kind
of a payback by Bass to say, hey, you.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Know with me, I left with you.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
It's possible that there was happened ramifications.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
You know, next year's of city election, including the raised,
there'll be some council seats that are up for grabs,
and the union will probably get involved and won't soon
forget those who voted against the chief that they wanted reinstated.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Did Bass show up for the vote today, No, A.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Lot of people did. This was a very crowded event.
I haven't seen a city hall event like this in
the year that I've been covering.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Maybe she couldn't. I mean, it was crowded shows.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
This might be an old story, but I hear I'm
reading on on on news here online that she was
in Ghana today.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Wow, I don't think she'll be going back to Ghana.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I finished business.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Man, all right, So what did she do?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
It's I think it's gonna be very tough for her
to be in the fire department now. And the new
chief says, hey, I'm I need to ride downtown.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Hey Chris, Then well, I don't write downtown.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I don't know that she can be designated chauffeur. The
way that it works when you are demoted from chief
is you can go back to any role you held previously,
so the ranks from firefighter to captain and that sort
of thing. She can go back to one of those roles.
But again that might be just as untenable for her
as it would be for the mayor to work with
(04:07):
Kristin Crowley again. So again, it may have been a
retirement situation, you know, something for her pension, or it
may have been just to buy some time before she
got the city Hall to state her case.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
She did state her case. She yeah, it was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, she was pretty it's pretty supportive of of all
the information and all the facts that were behind her
informing the mayor of these wins.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
That's right, she said that the mayor was informed. She
basically went through three things that she called false accusations,
including the fact that she did tell the mayor that
that you know that the fire department anyway told the
Mayor's team that there was danger on the horizon. She
also disputed the suggestion that she sent a thousand firefighters
home that morning when they could have been fighting the
(04:51):
Palisades fire, when she says that no, there was nowhere
to put them because so many of our fire trucks,
so many pieces of our apparatus are in the repair lot,
so that there would have.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Been no place to put these folks.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
So she pushed back on each point, deliberately hoping to
chisel off some support. Ultimately, only Council Member Tracy Park,
who represents the Palisades incidentally, and Councilwoman Monic Rodriguez of
the northeast from San Frando Valley came to her defense here.
But again, some of the folks who voted against her
did say, we're sorry about this situation. It's just not
(05:26):
a good thing for the city to have it type.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
But they know they got to vote with the mayor
if they're going to get anything done or anything for
their district. But you think it's gonna be weird though,
when the new chief says, God, I love a coffee.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Hey Crowley Also.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, if I were the mayor, I would not put
I would not put Kristin Crowley in the fire department.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
That has to show up to put my house out.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Well, you know, the mayor lives in Hancock Park, in
the city's mayoral house. It's not in the hour zone
that that you know, something terrible might happen, and so
she'll need to keep an eye out for that.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
But the fire fighters will shamps show up to help.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You know, there is you know, this situation politically and
also governmentally because it's budget season again. They're crafting next
year's budget and so all these questions swirling around how
the fire department is funded. They're going to have to
deal with that again this year with more eyes focused
on the amount of money going to the fire department
after what we experienced in the palis ads in La
(06:24):
City proper, and that's going to be even more challenging
this year because the city's financial situation is even worse
than it was last year. So that's the next piece
of waist.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
LA is more broke this year than they were last year.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Incidentally, because they've paid so much in lawsuits that could
be you know, police wrongdoing, it could be infrastructure related
where people were injured, and it's a lot of lawsuits
that have also involved former employees.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
So ironically they.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Might have another lawsuit coming from their former chief that
could put them in a further hole from helping the
fire department.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
What a mess the city of la And you.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Gotta get out on tim, I mean, you're you're you know,
you're on the sideline just to throwing Molotov cocktails. You
got to get in there and show the city. Now,
you know what.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I've lived in the city of La. I would never
move back to.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
The city of lah. Wow. I hate to hear I
hate to hear things. Yeah, that's okay, that's right. We
have we have we have a candle in the window.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Waiting for you.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I don't know if you saw the monks, I know
you're very busy. I don't know if you saw the
waterman blow out. Where was that Whenetka Chatsworth or somewhere
out there, huge huge ass waterman busted for no reason,
no reason at all, just broke. So all these watermans
and all these you know, these big trunk lines they
call them, they're all one hundred plus years old, and man,
all we need is one little trembler in the valley
(07:41):
and they're all gonna blow.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
It's hard.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
It's it's exactly the type of conversation that takes place
during budget season because you know, they look at the
debt that they're in and the overspending that they're dealing with,
the over budgeting, with the lawsuits in particular, and they
can't address the infrastructure. It's not just the occasional water
main that breaks. It's the fact that walking down many
of our city streets, particularly here in downtown, the lights
(08:03):
are off and there's nothing, there's no plan, there's no
money to address that.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And they're also going to miss out on a lot
of property tax from you know, very wealthy people in
the Palisades.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Property tax, payroll tax. Because of all the jobs that
have been lost because of it. It's a big, big mess.
And don't forget, we have a big event coming up
a few years down the horizon that they've got to
prepare for a convention center that needs to be a
remodel to the tune of a billion dollars for their
own estimates. Wow, and they are scrounging the couches at
City Hall to see if anybody's dropped any dimes.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Will that'd be a net win for the city. Do
you think the Olympic shure? And what do you guys think?
In other words, after you've spent that billion, after you've rehabbed,
after you I think so.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, Well, because we already have all, you know, the infrastructure.
Montreal got screwed because they had to build all those stadiums.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Sure, they're still paying those off right from Montreal.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Same it's true in Greece.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, but we've got everything here. It's all ready to go,
you know, so we'll put on They say this.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Will be a no bill Olympics.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
They don't have to build any datiums because they've done
it twice before, so they're ready for that.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
They will have to.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
They have allowed the fast tracking of other pieces of infrastructure.
It might be like a media tent or security perimeters
and those sorts of things. They'll have to build. But
those are temporary. They say they're not building any permanent
structures this time. But the convention center is a big component.
It's hosting five events and they need to invest. What
are they host dollars to make it work? Judo, fencing,
(09:25):
taekwon do and ping pong, which I think.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
That sounds cool. Okay, Conway, we got to go down
to that. Wouldn't you like to see a little ping pong?
I'll watch ping pong me too. Yeah, I watched, I
watched judo, I watched, I watch all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I like to watch ping pong, judo. I don't know,
you know.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I actually watch these incredible ping pong points. I send
them to certain people because I know that I don't
want to be the annoying guys. Or send me some
I watched on Instagram and I recommend it. It's incredible
and as the I mean the the level of play
of ping pong is incredible.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Either I'm getting old, I'm losing my hearing. Are you
saying ding do or ping pong?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I'm saying ding dong tik dog. Yeah, I watch a
lot of ding dok.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Monks. You got monks, Thanks for coming on you on
Saturday again. I'll be on Saturday night at seven, seven

You're here live right here on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
What is the lyric? Is that an suv? Or is
it a sedan?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It's an suv, is it? But it's it's like the
new big suv sedan, which is kind of like driving
your living room, but there's also enough room for you know,
your the s and suv, you know the sports stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Take your ass around with you. Yeah, what did you
what are they run in the fifties?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I think it was sixth around sixty, Yeah, yeah it was.
It was good. We're test driving all this to all
of these now, and.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
When you test drive, do you find it hard to
get off the lot without committing to anything?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
No. I think they're used to not making the deal
right on the spot. Okay, at least there were there's
no pressure to make the deal right on the spot.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
You know my move that always works. It works one
hundred percent of the time. I go late in the
afternoon and when one of those guys approaches me, Hey,
what can I put you in today? You know one
of those things I said, Ah, I'm here. My wife's
dropping her car off at service and she'll be here
about ten minutes. I'm just walking around well before she
(12:22):
gets here. And they always leave me alone.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
They oh, really, Oh that's good.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
And then I get my car when they're not looking
and you're gone.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I was. There was a moment long time ago that
I was considering, like really getting there, like a cool
sports car. And I always wanted to Porsche, you know.
So I went to Porsche dealership because it's right there.
It was like I walked past it every day. And
so I went in and I'm kind of looking at
the car and the salesman comes up to me and says,
you're thinking about this car. It's a beautiful car. And
(12:52):
I said, I just don't think I can. I'm not sporty.
I can't sell this look and he said, oh, I
think you can. And I want to buy the car
right then. For that response, you know, it was like
he didn't he didn't flinch. You know.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I I've never looked at a Porsche. I don't I
can't afford it. And I feel like somebody just roll me.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That's what I feel. I feel me at the time,
I felt as though you're tempting the fates, like you're
finally I finally was making some money, and I thought,
this is how the fates catch up to you, you
do something, you know, you get you know, you have
a big spend because you think you're a big deal,
and then you get slammed by life. I just couldn't
do it.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
The only real sports car I had was I bought
a like a fifteen or sixteen year old Corvette. It
was I was nineteen, it was like nineteen ninety five,
and the thing was built nineteen eighty and it was
only five thousand bucks. So I bought it, fixed it up,
cleaned it up, and I took it to Vegas. And
(13:53):
I remember I was going one hundred and thirty eight
miles an hour on the way to Vegas.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And I and I said to myself, I gotta stop
doing this. I gotta stop doing this. I mean I was.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I was thirty two at the time that I was
doing that. You know, that's like you do that when
you're eighteen. No you eighteen, you do it and you
get into a wreck. Thirty two you do it and
you kind of go, oh, I got it. I got
away with that one. So I'm not going to make
a regular but I was. I wasn't on the freeways
on one of those long, you know, desert roads, right
but at one thirty eight, you know, if you start
(14:25):
doing cartwheels, it's over.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Oh yeah, well, I mean if you just even moved
the wheel a little bit, you're gonna be I saw
it down after that. What did Leno tell us the
last time we sere his top speed?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It was in that it was like two hundred and.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Dred and forty miles an hour. Yee, guy's going for
it in life, all right, we la, you know, we
have the police chase. So I don't know if you
saw it, crows, you take a look at you see
a police chase, and.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Then I did, I did?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I did?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
It looked pretty good, ma'am, until it didn't, and then
it did again.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
They tried to pit that guy five hundred times and
he kept going, and you know, he kept going and
going and going.
Speaker 8 (15:00):
They look like when they when they finally got him
in cups and they put him, you know, the over.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
The hood of a of a police car.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
As he was kind of walking up to it, another
officer walked up to him to look like it might
have been a little high ranking, look like he was
given a.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Little bit of a scolding.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Well, they were pissed, you know. They tried to pit
him like nine times, and he wouldn't pit. Yeah, and
so they finally Uh first one was beautiful.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
I'd never understand when they pit, why don't they put
a car behind him?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Well, they said on TV that they would have been
in a line of fire.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I don't know if I believe. I don't know, but
you know, we're right in front of him. But those cars,
you know, when they spin out like that. And I
learned this today. I think it was on k CAL
channel nine. You know they have those producers off to
the side they go for for information on KKI.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Liked those good.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah, yeah, but he said, if your car is going forward,
then immediately your car your wheels are spinning backwards. It
the computer will shut the engine off. And that's why
people when they get pit, they can't turn the engine
on anymore. But the engine resets after five minutes and
then you can.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Turn it on.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
That's how the guy split after getting you know, pit pitted?
Is that the term pitted is? Yeah, he got pitted,
its pitted?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Whatever it is, all right, jay Leno is coming on
with us.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, and I got some car questions for jay Leno.
One of them has to do with that pursuit today
and another one has to do with oil changes.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Because I feel like I was lied.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
To last night. All right, that's not good.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, I don't like being lied to. I saw a
guy steel last night, went to home, deep home. So
I guy walk out of the circular saw right out
the window, a circular saw?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
What kind of what kind did he go for? Did
you see? You know?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I think it was It wasn't crassman. What's the black,
red and black box crows?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Milwaukee?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Milwaukee? Yeah, yeah, yeah, look at you, buddy. Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
It was a Milwaukee some kind of maybe it was
a jig saw it. We couldn't see what kind of
saw it was, but I know it was a big saw.
And he walked right by me, and I walked by him,
and he gave me the you know, browse up.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Don't say anything.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Did he look like a tough guy or no, I
look like a guy who needed some butt dough. Yeah,
And I didn't bust his balls, because I've seen what
happens when you do bust his balls.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Sometimes they kill you.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh. I just didn't realize that.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yeah, there's a guy working at home depot who tried
to stop a guy and they pushed him where he
hit his head and he died.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Man, if you want to see some s, go take
a walk with Tim anywhere, because that happens.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
That's right, he really does have the eventful life.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
It happened last night around nine thirty.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Jay.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Let all coming home in gentlemen. Thank you very much,

Speaker 9 (18:07):
Same same bar during the tonight.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
You know, there's so many of these people that because
of the strikes and and people leaving town that they
don't work anymore.
Speaker 9 (18:19):
So I it's just a good way to help people
out right.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
So he comes by what once a month comes she

Speaker 7 (18:26):
What? Actually I had to get my hair cut of

Speaker 9 (18:31):
That's why I'm Italian. That's right, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
That's like crazy mode on lease. Some man, uh.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
They somebody lied to me saying oil changes are going
to go up by fifty bucks because of the terriffs.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Talking about I always like.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
This idea that it's going to go up, like right now.
I mean when you go into.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
The autopot store, the oil filters have been on the
shelf now for eight months.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Now, suddenly put it put a tariff on that way above.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, terrify, Yeah, you know it's oil filters, like fifteen dollars.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Well it'll take a while, poly but yeah, probably will.
Everything goes up and you change your own oil.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
I changed my own arm.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
How do you know how many courts to put it?
Is it? Say on the side of the engine.
Speaker 9 (19:12):
Say on the side of mangines.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Oh there's a manual. You might look into your glove box.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
I'm sure you christine conditions having never been opened, and
it'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Okay, I got a question about oil changes. Okay, I
go and get mine done at one of these you
know places where you go in.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
They you know, if it course, yourself would be beneath you. Yes,
he's a big strike.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
The reason why I don't do it myself, he says,
I've done it myself before. And then the oil filter
fell off. There's oil everywhere the engine.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
No, it didn't fall off.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
You didn't put it on correctly.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I put it on correctly. It was a bad filter.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So so I go in to get my oil done
and the guy says, do you want synthetic or regular?
And I said, well, if I get regular, how many
more miles before I come back? He said five thousand.
I said, I said, okay, if I get synthetic, how
many miles before I come back? He goes five thousand.
I said, oh, well, then why would I pay more
(20:08):
for the oil. And he's like, oh, that's a good point,
but you should really get synthetic.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
Well it's a better synthetic is probably a better oil lubricates.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Right, But that's my favorite thing.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
I hate these ads for these quick change oil places.
The guy's driving along and his the dominot hits three
thousand miles, the rods coming through the pan, you know,
the endine knocking is bang, it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
It's so stupid you can can you afford to change it?
Like every fifteen thousand miles? Some cars you can go
fifteen thousand. Modern cars, Moner cars are very very good.
You know, there's this myth that cars. I hear people go, oh,
my car's got sixty thousand miles.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
I got to get rid of it. No, it'll go
one hundred. I got it.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
I have a sixty eight Mercedes. I got three and
twenty seven thousand miles.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Wow. And it just keeps me it's wrong.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Your car will last a long time if you just
put a modicum of care involvement right, just take care
of it, especially in California. You don't have humidity where
you know, you don't get you're not getting water in
the crank case from humidity going up and down, all
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
J lettos with us when if I drive, I drive
a twenty twenty three Lincoln Courssair.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Of course you do.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah, I bought my old one. I had a Lincoln Navigator.
I bought it in two thousand and seven, right when
my daughter was born, and I had for eighteen years,
and I loved it. It was just not time to
get a new car because I didn't trust it anymore.
You know, when you don't trust your car anymore, it's
time to get a new one.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
And why didn't Why what did it do that made you.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
The electric one out?
Speaker 9 (21:40):
What do you mean the electric one out?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
The air condition would work like one set of every
five days and then but just.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Drive on that day.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
That's your problem?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Yeah, right?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
But high octane? When do you put high octane in
a car? Is that a scam?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
No, it's not a scam if your car is designed
to run on high ocadgen. What cars are designed high performance? Vmw's,
Mustang's Corvettes, cars with high compression ratios.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
But not a station wagon?
Speaker 9 (22:06):
Well no, not a station wagon?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
No no?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Did you ever have a Lincoln station wagon? Well, but
there's no Lincoln Mercury station wagon.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
I never had.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
No, you never had Your family never had a family
station wagon?
Speaker 9 (22:19):
No no, we never had a station wagon.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I misread your bid. Any further questions, I misread your bio.
Then I don't even think why would that be in
my bid? By the way, Leno whose family had.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
A station wagon?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Who boasted he's never owned a station wagon?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Medio station wagon and one of those.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
One thing you won't find in the Leno collection.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
This is a station wagon, all right, So I have
a bunch of station How do you pass on your
old cars?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
How do you pass this smog test?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Because obviously they don't some of your cars don't have
catillact converters, right.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Well, your Cadillac converters came in about what actionally.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
California the late mid sixties. That was late stay, yeah,
that's say late sixties.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
Well that's why we have.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
This new bill seven Assembly Bill seven twelve.
Speaker 9 (23:04):
It's you know, every.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Other state has a rolling exemption. It's back thirty five years.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 7 (23:10):
Oh yeah, yeah, California froze it at seventy six, nineteen
seventy six. There aren't that many pre nineteen seventy six
cars on the road, and a lot of cars between
seventy six and now you can't even get small equipment
to repay them because it's just not there are enough
of them for the manufacturers to make any money to
(23:30):
make that equipment.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
So you wind up getting sucked, you have to sell
your car.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Whatever.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
So this new Assembly bill makes it a rolling exemption,
the same as every other state would.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
It would be thirty five years.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Okay, if your car is thirty five years or older,
you don't have to get it smocked.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Is that something you wrote or a champion? I didn't wrote.
Speaker 7 (23:49):
They asked me about it, and I thought, because it
used to be a rolling exemption every year, it would be.
It used to be twenty five years back. Right, There
aren't that many pre eighty nine cars on the road.
And the people that are driving parading nine cars that
are not like classics, are.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Usually people they are just getting buying.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Well, you're just getting buying doing that smog check and
then you fail. Then you got to pay again to
test and fail. Yeah, yeah, I mean it seems to
me they should just make it like every Like if
you have an older car in Nevada and you come
into California and your car doesn't meet small you gotta
get rid of your car.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
You're screwed, is that right?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
You got to sell it somebody.
Speaker 9 (24:25):
Well you can't. You can't. It won't pass smog, you
can't get it registered here.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Wait, but you can't go to one of these guys
in Burbank or Tarzan.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
You know, in the old days, Tim Conway of slipping
the five dollars.
Speaker 9 (24:40):
No, no, that it does.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
It doesn't work anymore. You know that used to work,
but now everything is computerized.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Ah.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
You plug your car into a computer, the computer goes
to Sacramento and it has all the information right there.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Now that sucks. How many of your cars don't have
catalog converters?
Speaker 7 (24:56):
Well, my nineteen oh six Stanley Steamer does not have. Yeah,
I have quite a few cars about Ketley. So you
need this to pass?
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Well, why you're here, Joe, Well.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
I can get I can get mine to pass because
I have a full shop and I know how to
do it and pass legally, not cheat on it. I mean,
it doesn't do you any good to really cheat on it,
because I'm the guy that make your example of if.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
That was Okay, I'm gonna ask you a question.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Please don't answer until we come back, all right, Okay,
But I want to know from you, the car guy,
the best car wax in the world, because I went
to look for it. There's nine hundred on the shelf.

Jay Leno, who is the most knows more about cars
than Mark Thompson, is going to tell.
Speaker 5 (25:37):

KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
All right, Thompson's here, Jay Leno is whether you're gonna

I'm there this weekend.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah, Friday and Saturday. Friday and Saturday and entertaining the public.
Speaker 9 (25:54):
Yeah, try it out some jokes.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
That's cool.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
Where did you get this joke?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
All right?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
This is real? I saw this uh in Oregon.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
There's a group of women that are like professional protesters, right,
and there was protesting the war. What they do is
they go to a public place, they take off all
their clothes, they lay down on the ground and they
spell out the word peace.
Speaker 10 (26:19):
And you know who I feel starry for there? The
girl that has to be the A. I mean, that's
gonna be the parents come down.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
That's enough.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
You know what I love about that joke is that
the audience anticipate.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, you don't even have to tell the punchline. You know,
sorry for the girl?
Speaker 9 (26:45):
That's always?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Why am I always the A?
Speaker 7 (26:48):
Why can't it be a small as to be a
capital A?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
That's great? That's gonna kill on Friday.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
That'll do.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You got the seven thirty at Flappers on Fridays, Saturday
and Burbank.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Hey, I got a question about that.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
When you're trying out jokes, do you ever like think
you get if you get like a poor response or
something like that, do you ever think I'm gonna try
that again, like another time, or do you just kind
of toss away?
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Well?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Sorry?
Speaker 7 (27:14):
What I used to do was, uh, you know, Johnny
Carson gave me Johnny Carson came to see me years
ago and he said, you know, a funny kid, but
you're you're funnier than your jokes. Your jokes aren't that funny.
You get to have a stronger joke, he said. You
know what you should do, He said, go on stage,
just tell the joke as flat and as boringly as possible,
(27:36):
and if it gets a laugh, okay, you know you
got a funny joke. And next time you do you
add the voice, the physical comedy the other thing, and
now you got something that works on both on both levels,
you know. And that's what I try to do with
every joke because because you know, I used to go
on Hey, I used to be loud and and like,
you're just getting jokes just by mannerisms, you know, But
(27:59):
you want to have also a solid written funny joke
too to back it up.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
That makes sense, right, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
And you know there are some comedians today who have
incorporated that flat delivery and that's their whole.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
That's fine too. Yeah, and that like Nate barget Sieh
like yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:18):
Yeah, he's very funny guy. He's great.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
He's terrific, smart, clean, funny.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
I really I saw him years and years ago and
I thought this guy's really good.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
He's taken off.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
And you know, if somebody asked him recently, I saw
this on YouTube. You know, when you're gonna go to
Hollywood and make a TV show? And why would he
do that? You know he's making he's he's selling out Arenas, right,
Why would he come to LA and have ninety people
tell him what to do and water it down, put
commercials in it, hire you know, four unfunny writers.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Why would he do that? Well, now you put it
that way, I guess it makes perfect sense. Like I
mean want four unfunny writers? Well, Jay, you know that.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
You know there's there's like five, there's like four showrunners
in LA that can make a good sitcom. Maybe probably maybe,
And he's not going to get one of them, you know,
as a new guy. Lenda, you know that Seinfeld got
very lucky. You know that that that he put that
whole cast together and that caught fire.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
You know, it's not lucky, I mean because the show
did not take off originally.
Speaker 9 (29:15):
Don't forget they were going to cancel it.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I know, That's what I'm saying. He got lucky that
they that they kept it going. Well, look, I think
he's one of the funniest guys in the world.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I mean, he was able to change it on the fly.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
But you can you can be one of the funniest
guys in the world and not have a good sitcom.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Well, you know that's true.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
I mean radio show.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Like my dad said, he said, you know, comedy runs
in your in your family. Too bad, it doesn't run
on your show. That's tough love.
Speaker 9 (29:45):
Too bad you run from comedy another one.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
He also said, comedy is like diabetes. It skips a generation.
It's another insult. I ought at one of these days.
But you're you're good friend. Norm McDonald tried to do
a sitcom. I think he's one of the funniest guys
in the world.
Speaker 9 (30:02):
Nor is one of the funniest guys.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
He didn't hit.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
He just doesn't have he doesn't have a filter, you know,
so he doesn't There are some people that can't say no, no,
we can't.
Speaker 9 (30:13):
You can't do that, you know. You know, I remember
he had some joke.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
Using the R word, as they say, and he went
on a show and changed it to down syndrome.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
No, just get rid of the joke.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
Get rid of the joke, you know. But nobody's funnier,
nobody's funny.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Yeah, it's so great. Yeah, back in the old days.
You're you know, a while ago. Did you ever see
Red Fox perform? Yes, I did, well, yes, I'll tell you.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
Yeah, I can't do the joke. But I remember at
Westbury Red Fox. At Westbury they have signs up, this
is not Fred Stanford.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
This is Red Fox. This is a triple X rated show.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
And the axes are like fifteen feet tall all around
the building, and all the Jewish grandmothers are.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Oh, they bring their little grandson.
Speaker 9 (31:11):
They came.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
When I tell you that, I can't tell you the joke,
but I will tell you the joke during the break,
Oh my god.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
They after that they literally ran out.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
He was famous for the party albums. The filth just
filthy stuff. Yeah, but you made me think when you said,
you know, Burghetzi works clean as I was just thinking,
oh my god, that's you know. I mean the club
comics were some of them are just famous for peppering
their act with some stuff, and then there were those
who are wall right.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
Yeah, that's fine, but I mean, you have to have
two acts. You have to won for the general public
and you know, a late night show.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Sure, Aggie, something inside.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
Shacky Green was the funniest. He had really fun Shacky
Green had the best Sinatra Joe. He comes out on stage,
he says, you know, Juman right across the street, Frank
Sinatra's performing, and Frank Sinatras saved my life.
Speaker 9 (31:59):
I was in an alley.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
These five guys are kicking the crap out of me,
and Frank said, okay, he's had enough.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Jo is with us.
Speaker 1 (32:10):

Turtle We're all very good. We have our own line
of Jay Little car care products.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
We developed it.
Speaker 7 (32:33):
The thing is we developed it with chemists at up
my shot. I didn't buy somebody else's products, put my
name on it, right, And my attitude is, let's try
to go on volume. Keep because when you don't get
any of these products, the first ingredient is all with water,
you know, so you want to have the least amount
of water as possible. So let's keep the profit in
mind as little as we can, because I make money
(32:53):
doing other stuff. So and it works, it does well. Well,
we're at Walmart now, we'll do huge this year.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
