Speaker 2 (00:32):
Before we get started here, I have a I have
a wish for the New Year or Christmas.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Oh, this is exciting. What is it?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I wish that computer web, the websites and anything.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
It takes a password. If you get close, you're in.
You know, if you just forgot one letter or one number,
one capital, you're in. Or one exclamation point. Have you
seen that new one?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
We have to put a special key like an exclamation
point or a question mark, or it sucks.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Right, it's not enough that you put in all these
different characters.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
They have to have.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
You have to have an exclamation point, a dollar sign
or a hashtag sign.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Right, and everybody just uses the same one anyway. Exclamation point, Sure,
everybody uses it. Why include it? That's true, It's very true.
All right, let's start with Rob Reiner. We got some
late news coming in. But I want to on a
personal level. I heard you yesterday and you were very
I thought, very sweet. I really liked that about Rob Reiner.
(01:36):
I thought that was a very sweet man. And he
never saw this coming. You never ever assume that your
kid is dangerous enough to wipe you and your wife out. Never,
you know, and you do anything in the world for
your kids, you'll give him a twentieth, twenty fifth chance,
thirtieth chance, whatever. Rob Reiner would have gone to his
grave spending hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars
(01:58):
on to try to straighten that kid out.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Well, they produced a movie about about Nick's problems, and
they also lived with Nick Nick on the premises, and
that's exactly and what I'm reading is and.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
It breaks the heart of the dead, of breaks the heart.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Well, it's just all it's horrible. The whole situation is
so deeply disturbing. And others who are around the Whiners
saw a danger emerging there that night, according to multiple
reports from the party that they attended right which was
earlier that evening.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You know that Bill Hayter was involved. He's got to
feel horrible today. I mean, I hope he doesn't. But
did you hear that story?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Bill Hayter was at Conan O'Brien's party. You ever get
a nod there?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I did not. He lived right down the street too,
That right, that's pretty weak. Do you drove by the party?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I did not on prior parties? He doesn't. He moved
out of the neighborhood. Oh he did, Yeah, okay, I
moved up. He was pretty up as it was. I
don't know, but you're right. Well, okay, he got out
from under the shadow of me asking to go to
his party.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yes, have you ever been to one of his party?
I know, but I did it.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I did tour his house and he wasn't there really,
And here's how I'll tell you. Before he bought the house,
you were a caterer, was an open house and I
went through and they were still looking for a buyer.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
So I have seen the house. Okay, okay, but that's anyway.
So what okay?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So Bill Hayter is at the Conan O'Brien's party, you
know at I think probably in Brentwood or you know,
somewhere in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
You know, he's made that kind of money. Oh, my god. Yes.
So Bill Hayter's in a conversation with I think a female,
it may have been a male. I don't know. But
does it matter so far, so far in the story,
it doesn't. I mean, you know, if you heard that
your best friend was changing sex is, wouldn't you just
now you just be like, Okay, that's cool. But twenty
years ago you'd be like, what the f is that?
(03:46):
What was the story was? No? No, no, I don't know.
You're just right digressive. I'm just I'm just saying there
was a comment on the culture. That's right, Okay, culture
comments coming in? Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So, so Bill Hayter is involved in a conversation with
some and this side weirdo Nicker comes over and he
gets into the conversation and he probably starts with his
you know, very popular line, are you guys celebrities?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Oh? Yeah, I heard he was asking that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So he gets into that conversation and Bill Hayter says
to him, Hey, buddy, this is a private conversation.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I'm just talking to this person. Do you mind. Oh
I didn't hear about it? And Nick Reiner goes off.
It just it set him off, and then the dad
Rob Reiner sees his son going off, approaches him and
says what's going on, has a big fight with him
at the party, and then all three of them leave.
(04:43):
That's what I heard.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah, I heard that he had called out some kind
of behavior is inappropriate. Maybe that maybe that was the
behavior itself. But Bill Hater's got to feel horrible today.
You know that he's mentioned as as the as the
you know, the light that lit that fuse.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, I mean, don't you think, wouldn't you?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I mean, of course you you couldn't help but feel
that you should have adjacent to it. But if the
fuse was that prone to being lit, then it probably
didn't matter. It would have gone off on where the
other there's clearly so much in the way of mental
illness there, yeah, and addiction that I don't know that
(05:23):
it would have mattered.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Right, And you know, I'd like to say that there's
been a lot of talk in the last couple of
days about drugs and drugies and alcoholics and people who have,
you know, problems, But I think we're simplifying a problem
that's much more difficult. I know people, you know, people
(05:44):
that take drugs every day that have never once even
thought about killing their mom or dad or anybody.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It's not the drugs.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
It's his brain chemistry that's effed up that kid, and
maybe it was amplified sometimes by drugs. But for the
millions of people in the United States who are taking drugs,
maybe recreationally, maybe because you have a you know, behavior problem,
maybe you just want to get high, maybe you have pain,
whatever this is. When they say drug abuse and drug user,
(06:16):
they're not talking to you. There are millions of people
out there that can do drugs on a daily basis
and operate their life. This kid couldn't, and he should
have been off drugs. But it's also this kid was crazy.
You know, the brain chemistry in that kid's head was
not working.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
It's likely that drugs fueled what you're that's chemical imbalanced, right.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
But you know, in nature, when when you have a
kid that's born, like let's say you're a lion and
the lioness gives birth to a crazy one, the mom
kills it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I guess we can't do that in society, but they
take care of it the nature in the world, nature
takes care of their own problems. We everybody's got to
live forever. You know everybody.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You know, a guy's ninety eight years old, his whole
body's falling apart, and we're still, you know, sending him
to operation after operation and drugs and keeping this guy going,
keep them going.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Keep them going. And it's it is odd.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
But I can't believe when I woke up this morning,
I had that split second that I that I didn't
remember that Rob Reiner and his wife were killed, and
I thought, Okay, I'm gonna go down and grab something,
and then bang it hit me, and it depressed the
hell out of me.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, it's such a there was such a ruthlessness to
it and such a horror to it, and it was
such a surprise. And this guy who's just the most gentle, wonderful,
compassionate filled guy, Rob Reiner. I mean, look at look
at the films he did. That goes in Mississippi, And I.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Don't know anybody who has that kind of range. Yeah,
that's exactly right. I mean maybe Spielberg.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yeah, I mean I think that range is around in Hollywood,
but to consistently hit with so many kind of touchstone films,
Princess Bride, Misery, yeah, misery, and as you say, I
mean you know, you didn't know. Just because there was
a Rob Ryner film didn't mean it was a certain type.
It could be a rom com, it could be a
(08:18):
super intense film. I mean A Few Good Men was
his film, So you're right that he could meet this
horrifying end.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It's just a very very tough thing to square.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
You Know what I can't stand is when people say
there are two people I can't stand this world in general.
One are marathon runners because they run marathons to tell
people they run marathons, and they will tell you all
the time, Hey, guess what, I'm going to Boston run
a marathon.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
And my standard response is who gives an F? Oh wow,
that's nice. Yeah, you're going to go to Boston and
pay for a hotel room and run around Boston until
you're sick, until you can't walk anymore because you've exhausted
your body, and they're gonna fly home and tell everybody
who gives a F. So that's that's one type of
person that's really tough love. And the second type of person, Hm,
(09:11):
that's my train of thought. I would just say about
the first type, people lose their train of thought.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
No, my second person that I that I dislike is
when somebody says, hey, I like that movie Misery, and
they'll say it wasn't as good as the book. To
that person, I want to say, you should fly to
Boston with a marathon runner and both leave for a
week so I can get some error around here.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I can't stand that comedy.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Well, these days you'll hear fewer and fewer people saying
it's not as good as a book. No one reads
the books anymore, that's right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
But I couldn't stay in that comment. You know it
wasn't as good as the book. Sorry, I'll just be
in here. My cardigan sweater at Britano's.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Well's a fine a fine grabs. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Are they still around? I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
The old a holes who sit in a bookstore in
flip pages.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Look, I'm so much better than you. I'm a Britana.
I think you're adding a lot of pretension that.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
May not be there. Bs. Bs I when to come back.
You knew Rob Reiner will come back. We'll take your
your your reflection, but your personal stories, all right?
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Okay, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
kf I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Before we get with Michael Munks Thompson. You knew Paul,
but you knew Rob Reiner. I wasn't a friend of
Rob Reiner's, but I have said you were well. I
don't think I ever said that. In fact, I always
painfully say, you know, I was not. I wish I'd
been closer Rob b Reiner.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
He seems like the kind of person that would have
been wonderful to be around. But I was cast by
Rob Reiner in my first major motion picture, Tim Conway Junior.
And by the way, it was a major motion picture.
I'm not just saying that sarcastically.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
It was.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
It was The American President, which was starring Michael Douglas,
Ned Benning and Mark Thompson. And the reason I mentioned
Rob Reiner is that Rob Reiner had to cast me,
and it wasn't like one of these roles I typically had,
which is like anchorman number four or reporter number two.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
This is a named character. And I had a scene with.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Richard Dreyfus in the movie Wow, and so I interacted
with Rob Reiner and it was pretty great. I mean,
he was very obviously I was, you know, not the
focus of the action of Richard Dreyfus was, but it
was so exciting for me to be.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Around Rob with your character.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I was like a McLaughlin group kind of over George
Stuffannopolis kind of character in a that kind of Sunday
Show moderator and Dreyfus and I kind of get into
it on screen.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Did make the movie? Oh yeah, I got to go
back to look at it.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
It's a in fact, I'll tell you this, I was
the first thing I'd ever done. I and not that
I have this think one long list of things I did.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
It is the very first thing I was in Hollywood.
Is very exciting.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
And we go there for the shoot and I'm sitting
next to Richard Dreyfus in the makeup chair and Rob
comes in. Rob Reiner and he says to Richard Dreyfus, now,
this is a pivotal scene in the movie mob pressure.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
No.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
And after that I didn't hear anything he said. I
just knew that I would make the cut. I knew
that this scene was going to be in. Oh see,
I thought you had. My reaction would be, there's a
lot of pressure here. You gotta get somebody else. I
think I was already cranked up to ten on that.
But the second time I had anything to do with
Rob was I created a show called The Agent and
it was picked up for animated show and we needed
(12:44):
a voice for the Agent, and Rob Reiner was our voice,
and he was terrific. And this is sort of the
politically active part of Rob Reiner. I remember at the time,
We're going to do a table read and Mike Scully's
there from The Simpsons who was helping us out, and
a bunch of it was kind of a big deal
for me anyway, and Rob was on this phone call
out in the hallway and he comes in and he
(13:06):
had been on the phone to Al Gore. And this
is the level at which Rob Reiner was operating. He
was very high up in the Democratic Party in terms
of at least being if not an activist all the time,
sort of a muse I think for political figures who
are high up in the party. And as you know,
and as you said, he was a big hearted, brilliant guy.
(13:29):
And I was just glad to have had sort of
those two experiences. But I'm sure I'd seen him a
couple of times after that, but it was just more
or less a hello, how you've been type thing.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
That's really cool. That's a really cool that kind of
connection with him to be missed.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
A different connection with Rob Reiner is Michael Monks, who
has were you at the press conference.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
We attended the press conference here from the studio and
it was you.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Know about the hockmit and DA press conference, right.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Because Rob Reiner's son is now normally charged with two
first degree murder counts.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
And why didn't he show up in court? He wasn't
medically cleared? Is that I've never heard of that before.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
Apparently it is a normal procedure for anybody if you
were arrested and were supposed to go to court for
whatever thing you got yourself involved in, there would be
some medical evaluation before you go in. That's all that happened.
Apparently everybody is stressed. This is just run of the
mill stuff. But for whatever reason, his didn't get finished
in time. But he was supposed appear in court possibly
this afternoon. Do you think he's coming down of whatever
(14:29):
he's on.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He's all shaky and throwing up and I'm not able
to speculate on that, And in fact, the officials would
not comment on his current state of Mind's attorney get.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Nig didn't get finished in time, or didn't pass the
medical exam.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
It did not happen as far as we see, Okay,
So they were working to get that. That was just
just a formality. It's going to happen and then he
will be arraigned. But the charges have now been filed.
And by the way, these charges two counts first degree
murder with a special circumstance of multiple murders taking place
in a special allegation because of a n life was used.
This is life in prison without parole or the death penalty. Wow,
(15:04):
these are very serious charges. And to your point, Mark,
we heard, you know, the impact that Rob Reiner had,
not just in the Hollywood industry, but Hollywood, LA locally.
I mean, you heard sympathy expressed from La County DA
Nathan Hawkman today LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell. In fact, here's
part of what they said.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
These charges will be two counts of first degree murder
with the special circumstance of multiple murders. He also fat
is a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous
and deadly weapon, that being a knife. These charges carry
a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility
(15:47):
parole or the death power leading. No decision at this
point has been made with respect to the death Powerty
now prosecuting these cases involving family members are some of
the most challenging and most heart wrenching cases that this
office faces because of the intimate and often brutal nature
(16:07):
of the crimes involved. Rob Reiner was a brilliant actor
and director, an iconic force in our entertainment industry for decades.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
This case is heartbreaking and deeply personal, not only for
the Reiner family and their loved ones, but for our
entire city. We extend our deepest condolences to all of
those who are affected by this tragedy.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
So you don't hear that at every press conference about
murder charges being filed, but certainly the stakes involved, the
profile of the people involved certainly recognized by those local
law enforcement officials.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
It So is this going to be a prolonged OJ
thing where it's going to take years or are we
going to know because everybody is in on who did this?
Speaker 7 (16:54):
That question was asked to d. A. Hoffman today and
what he responded was, we are planning to present a
robust case against Nick Reiner, and we imagine that the
defense team representing Nick Reiner would want to do as
much as it can to review whatever evidence there is,
(17:15):
to do all that pre work that takes place before
a trial. So he suggested that, you know, the DA's
office will be ready to go when it's time, but
when that time comes is yet to be seen. You know,
I don't think this is going to be anything as
as dramatic as the OJ trial that captured our attention
and had you know, television in the courtroom the whole time.
This really won't be that. I think the tragedy sadly
(17:39):
will wash over.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Right.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
We will follow this case, we will report on this case,
but we're still in the initial shock of what happened
on Sunday, Right.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I don't think anybody we're you know, is looking We're
we're not. You know, some people are still looking for
the OJ.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah, this isn't. This isn't the OJ was looking until
the very end. That's right, that's right. Nobody's looking anywhere
else other than this nut job. It seems that they
think they've got their guy.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
Yeah, as sad as it is, And that's what Nathan
Ackman was saying there is that when you get a
case like this. They're particularly challenging because it's family on family.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Right, But I mean challenging.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I don't I think I could run this up the
flag pole and probably prosecute this kid.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Well, from just what I heard.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
I don't think he's concerned about reaching a guilty verdict
when the time comes, or whatever plea agreement that might
emerge from this. It's the fact that you have two
people who are dead and one person accused in their deaths,
and then everybody in the gallery who is directly connected
to all of those people involved.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
That's what's challenging to deal with.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Have the creepy element of the single of thirties women
who want to get involved with Nick.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Is that element there yet? Stand by? That'll come? Yeah,
that'll be there.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
He was very good looking. The more recent picks do.
I mean, they do frame them a little more sinisterly.
When you see what he looks like, you're like, oh,
I can believe that guy could get into some So
he always looks like.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
He's looking off into space.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
But I mean the pictures of him from ten years
ago look like a nice Hollywood kid.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, I'll tell you don't trust those Hollywood kids.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
And you know, they did a film together about his
substance abuse issue and even the relationship with the father
and son in the movie. It just seemed as though
it was headed toward that kind of soft landing when
you look at that stuff from ten years ago, the
kind of thing you remember Jane Fonda had a falling
out with her very famous father, Henry Fonda.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
They did on Golden Pond together.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
She talked about the fact that there was tension on
the set and somehow they reached some kind of you know,
rap proach mall, you know, and yet that soft landing
we didn't happen here.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
No, monks, thank you Saturday seven to nine pm.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yes, indeed, nice to see. Thanks for the Hi. All right.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I got a nice Christmas card. There's three sailboats on there.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
That is in the back. It says ho ho ho oh.
I get it.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Each show each boat has a hoe in it. No,
I didn't get that. Oh okay, that's what I took
from it.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Doing a say the thing, but it says warmest wishes
for UH for the happiest holiday season and best New
Year Ever. Love your show, Mary X MASS which is
short for Christmas to you and your crew. So that's

Patty Brosard b R O U S S A R D.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
It sounds a great hockey name. Yeah, yeah, that is.
You're right, that's a hockey player's name. That's right, you know,
Gillion Bruson, say by Brusson, exactly right, say by Bruso
grab absolutely right. All right.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
We've got a bomb scare and it is in Glendale.
Let's find out what's going on with Glendale's Bomb Square
bomb squad in the bomb scare.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
We know that this actually all started last night, Annabel,
when the owner of that vehicle was arrested by Glendale
police for reasons that are still unknown, but apparently they
towed that person's vehicle and they found something suspicious inside.
They're not saying that this is a bomb threat. They're
saying that whatever was in that vehicle appeared to be
(21:21):
suspicious in nature, and that is why the bomb squad
is now on scene taking a look at whatever it
is that's inside and making sure that it is, in
fact not something that could potentially blow up again at
this point to unknown what that object may be and
why it has raised suspicion here by authorities. But while
they investigate that item, they do have Los Felss shut
(21:43):
down here from San Fernando Road to Guardena.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Oh no, that's where my Costco is. People can't get
into that Costco. So here's the streets again for you
map nuts out there.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Do you have Los s Felss shut down here from
San Fernando where the two guardina a right.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
That's uh, Costco's in that area. Sizzler is in that area.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
That's leads from Glendale in news shop report. I'm Eliabrino.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Back to you at the studio. Speaking of Sizzler.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Adam Carolla is coming on with us at six thirty
five school.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
He's red hot.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
He came in one day and we were talking about
great steakhouses and I said, I really like Sizzler, and
he said, Timmy, Sizzler is not the great steakhouse for
a guy who has his own afternoon drive talk show
on KFI.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
He's not wrong about stepping up. You got to you
got access to some of the higher end places. Now, okay,
all right, but I like the sizzler when you were
on the FM talk station, then then you're a sizzler guy.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
FM from eight pm till two am was a sizzler time.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Is that what it was? Yeah? Am the first time,
the first slot I have it. There was ten pm
to two am, okay, ten pm to two am. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
And at ten pm on eleven thirty somebody called up
and called Doug Seckler an a hole, and he said,
go f yourself and they got into a huge argument
and we didn't dump any of.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
The words, and no one said anything. I wish, I wish.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I thought this was the story about how no one's listening.
Bob Moore called the next day the general manager because.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
You got a second you got to come into the
into the radio station. I said, all right, So I
went in there. He says, who told you that you
can say whatever the f you want at night? And
I said, I Jay Clark told us that. The program director.
He goes, well, Jay's an idiot. You can't do that
on this is CBS. You can't do that.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
And we were told if we do it again, that's wrap.
Oh oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
So but I thought after ten o'clock it was safe harbor.
You can do whatever you want.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
I see.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Well, at least now you know that's right, you'll never
need to know again because you're an afternoon drive guy
who doesn't go to Sizzler anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I love Sizzler. There was used to be one in Burbank.
I was I lived walking distance. We used to walk
to Sizzler. How about that.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Break well, I used to I used to like Sisler
two and I was a meat eater. Yeah oh yeah, okay,
all right, yeah, so I'm with you on that. But
but Corona says no more.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
You know, getting back to the bomb squad in Glendale,
I've always had a plan that I think could work.
You know how people have terminal diseases. You know, the
doctor gives them another week or two, maybe a month,
And I think they should get those people and let
it give him one more chance to be a hero,
go out a hero in life, and let them go
(24:34):
into the bank and take that bomb out of this.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
I see, So the bomb squad should call them as opposed.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
To yeah he was on the terminal list, get in there,
because look, if I'm terminally ill and I got an
opportunity to go save you know, fifty people from a
bomb and a bank. I'd do it in a heartbeat. Sure,
go out a hero, yeah, you know, I'd be on
the news like, ahead.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Look at that.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Conway went in there and got that bomb. It blew up,
you know, under his arm. But man, he went out
a hero.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
No, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Interesting, that's the way to go as opposed to shutting
down streets for twenty four hours.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Yeah, maybe there's a solution in between somewhere.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
I don't think there is. I I like, do you
think outside the box though? Conway? Outside the box that's
got a bomb in it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Right, but you know, these bombs don't go off, but
when they do, then people get killed. And as the
bomb squad as a I know a former member of
the La County Bomb Squad La County Sheriff's Department Bomb Squad,
and he said, you've got to get it right.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Every time, that's for sure. Every time.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
That's why they evacuate so much, you know, or clear
the area, right, Yeah, exactly who was the guy you
knew was Shike's Malone Johnny Shaky hands hands shake, I
knew it was some Shaky was in there, shaky hands hands.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And yeah, are you is your nipple? Leaky?
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Or did you I spilled some watery, Yeah, and my nipples.
I spilled the water to cover my nipple bleeding. Yeah,
I didn't want that one be too conspiculous.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Another thing that marathon runners will tell you, and how
they protect their nipples from their shirt. Oh I've never heard.
You never heard that? Yeah right, Crows, you're right. How'd
you know that?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I knew?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Oh okay, they tap it. Yeah, they tape or put
band aids over there nipples. Also, remember Andy did it
on the office too. They starts running and then he
actually starts bleeding because you can't use duct tape. But
you got to. You got to protect yourself. That's good
(26:32):
reason to hate marathon runners.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
You recently went on a cruise. I like to live
vicariously through you. You're you get out there in the world.
You've been to Vietnam, You've been to Although when you
came back from Vietnam and and and you said you
ran into somebody and you said, you know I was
in Vietnam.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I thought, I think you have to say you vacation.
I said I was nom Is what I said. Yeah,
I think you have to say vacation. Yeah, yeah, I
can't say I was a nom.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
I did tell you about running into the guys who were,
you know, former vets who were returning to Vietnam. In fact,
the bus said US veterans were turning to Vietnam. Oh really, yeah.
And I went up and because I was very affected
by the Vietnam War, as were many. You know, I'm
just saying, like, I feel like I've seen a bunch
of the documentaries, I've done a lot of the reading,
and so I went over there and I was very
emotional as I was speaking to them. There was a
(27:27):
small group and one of them said, honestly, dude, we're
kind of over it. We're just kind of visiting. But
there are a couple of guys in our group you
should talk to if you're you.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Know, really Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
So there's sort of like I felt like I brought
too much emotion to the party in Vietnam.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Oh man. But hey, yes, I had a great time
on this.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
This is where it was leisurely, tim It was less
so significant, it was less full of choking up moments.
It was Mexico, our.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Neighbors to the south. You leave from La left from
San Diego, San Dieg. Yeah, and then how many days
in Mexico?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
There were three days at seed tim and then anyway,
the magic of potential as you look out over the horizons,
nothing but the Pacific.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
There was a casino how you do? Uh, pretty what?
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Pretty much spanked as I always am. Yeah, yeah, And
I want to say this, and I don't mean this,
you know, I guess I do mean it in sort
of a disparaging way. The casino was really like the
lowest end casino in Reno that you could find.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Okay, you're able, like seventy year old women and cheerleading outfit.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
And you know, wearing the in those carts.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
You know, there are a lot of carts there and there,
and and I didn't and it was filled with smoke.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
You know, I'm not a small filled with it and
uh kind of guys.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
And then but because I've got the illness, which is
that I wanted, you know, a little gaming, I sat
down and then I guess, so you get slapped around,
you lose all the money, and you you don't really
luxuriate in a casino experience.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
But you got sick on the cruise right, I will started.
I was started. I was already second. Then but wait,
you got sick and then you got on the cruise.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
I was, I had a cold at the beginnings of
a cold, and you got on the cruise.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
They let you do that. Well, I tested for COVID,
I was negative and all that stuff. I mean, so
do they take your temperature when you come on? No? No,
maybe they should start.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
At my worst Okay, which is probably day three of
the cold. And I felt like just horrible. I looked
better than nine tents of the people on that cruise.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Okay, just saying it was not did you feel bad
you were getting on a cruise.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
I'm saying they're not doing health checks. Look around these people,
are you know? This is you really at your worst?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
But did you stay in the cabin when you were sickred?
You all walk around? I think I walked around?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Yeah, I mean I wasn't you know, I wasn't in
close proximity to anybody.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
I mean I had a cold. You're right, I guess
I could have stayed home. I should have maybe, And
now I know I kind of feel bad. You know
who got the cold?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Courtney? Oh? No, really you got the she got much
sicker than I was. Yeah, but because you're in the
same you know.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Eighties for feet exactly. Yeah, oh that's horrible. Yeah, it
was pretty what a nightmare. What was the name of
the ship?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
It was the Norwegian? It was a Norwegian. Oh there
was Norwegian. Your Luck's over? Is that the name of
the exactly? It was.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
I've never been on that line before. People are very
very nice, but I wasn't. I loved our room, loved it.
You have balcony, had a balcony, had sweet we had
a sweet.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Well, because it's one of those it's not like a
super high end line, so you could you can just
let a couple of bucks go, you can stay in
a nicer accommodation.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
It called the Viking Line or what was the Norwegian
Norwet region. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Yeah, so we loved the room, not as crazy for
you know, some of the aspects of.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
The You keep the window open at night, the balcony.
No during the day though, but not at night.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Not at night.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Really, I thought that'd be like the attraction to hear
the ocean cruise around it.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Probably nice outside? Was it nice? Was the temperature nice? Eighties? Yeah?
Very nice.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
It was really it's it's nice to go to some
of these warm weather reports in the wintertime when it's chili.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yeah, and when you're obviously.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
When you're on the balcony at night, do you think
about jumping off?
Speaker 4 (31:12):
I really don't you think about throwing Courtney over? I
never have, you know, I'm horribly afraid of heights. But
I mean, like really like cripplingly, so I don't really
get close to the balcony. Oh really, yeah, I can't
click get close to the railing.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
And if you if like you and hour together and
you were to get close to the railing, I would
not be able to handle that anxiety.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
No, it's true.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
It's I've got a serious psychological problem with this, you know.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Yeah, if you go close to the if anybody you
know I care about it's close to that railing, I
like will double over with anxiety.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Really, yeah, literally double over. Maybe cruising is not for you.
You know that ocean.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I got to tell you, man, that ocean is so calming,
it's so restorative, it's special.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Gosh, I really love it.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
These great I mean, I haven't been on a cruise
since I went with my mom to Alaska when I
was fifteen, and I thought just being out there at night,
you know, alone because I was up till like two
o'clock and everybody.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Else was in their seventies. It was asleep, just to
hear the ocean and to be on that ship, and
it's it's cruising at you know, twenty five thirty miles
an hour, whatever they're doing, and it's just it's something
that if you don't experience, you can never tell anybody
what that feeling is.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Like, Yeah, I think you're right. It's it's transcendent. It
don't get hits you on another level.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
And since I was the only kid, I was fifteen,
and the next closest person my age was fifty four
or fifty five. And because I went for the first
two weeks of school, my mom was a life master
and bridge and she could take a kid with her
for one hundred bucks for two weeks. So at night
I got in real close with the captain and the
first mate and the you know.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Sure, they have fifteen year old kid, who's get interested
in this stuff?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Right? And you had interested in maritimes I did, so
they allowed me to sit up in the captain's chair
for a couple hours, and at one point they said,
they got to move the ship three degrees north northeast
and they let me do it. That's very cool. How
great is that for you? That had to be a thrill.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
And then I'm sitting there looking the radar and see
what I said, what is that that bleeping there? And
they said, oh, that's another cruise ship and we've already
notified them that they see us and we see them.
But it was just at fifteen I mean my eyes
were like, you know, like watermelon. Sure, Oh, I can't
believe I'm doing this. Yeah, it was great, that's super exciting.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I'll never forget that.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
It was on the Royal Viking Sky, a line that
doesn't exist anymore. I don't know why, but you know,
it went away. Those lines sometimes they go over.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Yeah there's a there's a lifespan. That's right.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
But they say that the cruising was all generated and
all started, and they can trace it all back to
the Love Boat. The Love Boat is what really kicked
off cruising. It made people around the world want to
go on these cruises because I thought celebrities were going
to be on them and that they can use to
boom and cruises right back to love boat.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. That is crazy.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
And it's very funny that they think in terms of
celebrities being there, because I've talked to a couple of
celebrities about like, hey, do you like the cruise and
to a first and they go, it's not that I
don't like it, I can't do it, and I say
why not? And then they just point to their face
and they go because of that, because of what meaning?
I'll be taking selfies all the time.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
With people and the Yeah, I know, nobody knows who
these people are. Yeah, I know, they point to their face.
You got to tell me off the air what celebrity
pointed to their face.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
That only did that multiple points?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Oh my god, can you imagine Can you imagine any
conversation at any time you point it to your face
saying look, I'm too popular to do something.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Let me just say that I was sympathetic to that. Actually,
I thought, oh, really, well, in the sense that you're
trying to just kind of enjoy it, take a little bit,
you know.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Since you like that, I'm gonna start doing that around
you when we run into people. I don't I don't
it's it's like when we go to Morton's. I'm like,
I'd like to go to the bar, but point to
my face.
