Speaker 1 (02:14):
Sad news today, Loretta Switt has passed away. One of
my favorites. I knew her on a professional level. We
had worked together. Now I'm not saying I was in
mash or one of the movies that she did. I
didn't play her love interest in a movie she did.
I was her limousine driver. I drove Loretta Switt. I
(02:40):
remember picking her up in the Hollywood Hills and driving
her to the Hollywood Bowl nineteen eighty four and picked
her up.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
She was an awfully nice woman.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
She was with another man and another couple, and I
picked them up in his Burgundy nineteen eighty three stretched limousine, Cadillac,
beautiful air conditioning side, A place to put your drinks.
You could smoke cigarettes if you like cigarettes. I didn't
care you'd smoke weed. I drove men at work, remember
(03:15):
that band, men at work. We come from a landown
on the oh yeah, Windomblunder. I drove them to Santa
Barbara for a concert. We'll get back to Loretta swipp
But I drove. I picked them up in Beverly Hills,
drove them to Santa Barbara for a concert. And on
the way to Santa Barbara, we stopped because the guys
(03:35):
wanted to get a snack at like a gas station
or something. And I looked back and they were doing cocaine.
And so I look back and they see that I
saw them doing cocaine. I'm like you know what am
I gonna do? You know, flag a cop down. I'm
not that kind of limo driver. So one of the
guys on met at work offered me a bump. He goes, hey, Mike,
(03:57):
would you like a bump? And I'm like, nah, I'm cool.
I'm on the clock. I don't know if you know this,
but I'm driving you lads and man with that had
been a big story, that would have been a huge story,
you know, coked out Lemo driver wipes out, does a
cartwheel on the one oh one, and all the men
at work are now men in graves.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I could see the title, I could see the headlines.
So I didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I just drove them to Santa Barbara, went backstage watched
their concert. I was a big fan of men at work,
even after the offer to do a bump or a
sniff or snort, whatever you call it, dude, And that
was a good time, all right. So back to Loretta Switch,
So I pick her up at her house. She's with
a guy. I don't know if it was a husband
(04:45):
or not. I'm not that kind of Lemo driver that
has to figure out what the relationship is. I just
pick them up. She was awfully nice. She looked great.
She looked great. How old is Loretta Sweat? Was eighty
six or eighty seven? I think she was eighty seven,
and so I don't know how old she was. I'll
figure it out how old she was. I guess I
(05:05):
could figure this out. Right now, let me sing. So
I'm gonna figure out how old Loretta Switt was when
I picked her up. She's eighty seven minus twenty five.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Were in the year twenty five and.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Then minus seventeen sixteen minus sixteen. Okay, so she was
forty six years old. A forty six year old Loretta
Switt getting into my car, and man, did she look great?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
So I pick her up. I picked the other couple up.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
We drive to the Hollywood Bowl, probably about a forty
minute ride with traffic barum boulevard. I got stuck in
the traffic, and I finally get there. She's gonna she's
very excited about the concert. I don't remember where they
were drinking in the car. It's none of your business.
Whether Loretta Sweat was hammering, you know, doing beer bongs
or belly shots whatever. She you know, I don't know
(05:56):
what you I didn't keep track of what people drink.
So I get to the Hollywood Bowl and I parked
the limousine. I let them out, and Loretta Switt tells me.
She says to me, she says a young man, because
I was twenty one at the time. She said, could
(06:16):
you please keep the car here. I'll give you some
extra money. Keep the car here because I know this
becomes like Mayhem afterwards, and nobody can find anybody.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
It's all you know parking.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
You know, one car behind another, another be another year,
but it might be seventeen cars in front of you
to get out of the Hollywood Bowl. And she said, well,
please keep the car here. I'll give you an extra
fifty bucks. And I said, you got it, you got it.
So she goes in the concert. I immediately split because
I don't want to sit in the car for four hours.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I listened to the radio while they're in the concert.
So I drive around. I think I went home. I
lived in Burbank at the time, in an apartment. I
went home, watching a little TV, had something to eat,
and then about forty five minutes before that concert ended,
I get in the car, I straighten my tie up,
I get back in that car and I go to
Hollywood Bowl and a cop stops me before I turned
(07:16):
into the Hollyo Ball. He said no, no, no, no, no no.
He said, we're not allowing any more cars than we're packed.
I said, oh, but I got to pick up Loretta
Switt and he said, I don't know who Loretta Switt is.
I said, how about hot lips Hula Han. He goes, oh,
from Mash. I said yeah, yeah, yeah, from Mash. He said,
I still can't lichen Ah. So I start driving around
(07:41):
Hollywood Bowl and you got to go to Outpost. You
gotta come down to Barrom. I'm panicking. I'm driving around
and I didn't have a cell phone. It was pre
cell phone. I had a pager, but that doesn't do
any good. And an hour goes by, I get paged
from my boss, a guy ran Revel Travel, and he's pissed.
(08:04):
He's like, buddy, where are you? I got a call
from Loretta Sweat, You're not where around. She's once getting
the car. She wants to go home. Where are you?
And I said, I'm driving around trying to figure out
how to get in there. Loretta Switt ended up taking
a cab home and she was pissed. Now I can't
(08:24):
play that audio on the air, and I can't explain
to you why. I've asked twenty times today why I
can't play it on the air, and it always comes
back to ratings or coatings or something.

Mash Star Loretta Switt aka Hot Lips Hulahan has died.
She was eighty seven, Loretta's publicist confirming the news to
ET on Friday. The actress died at home in New
York City, seemingly of natural causes.
Speaker 19 (20:16):
No one could imagine that. It's really a beyond success.
It became a phenomenon. Really it went into syndication in
year three, which means we have never been off the air.
As we speak, somewhere Mash is playing in the world.
Oh that's great and it is an awesome, overwhelming kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Were you a big fan, Crozier, Were you a big
Mash guy? I did.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I watched it a lot when I was a last
key kid at night.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Did you ever go out to Tobanga Canyon to see
where they filmed it never did. Oh man, I think
it's going on. I think a fire came in and
wiped it out. But that's a cool deal.
Speaker 18 (20:51):
Loretta spent eleven seasons on the hit CBS series, winning
two Emmy Awards work.
Speaker 19 (20:57):
I never think beyond the nomination.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I'm just thrilled to be nominated.
Speaker 18 (21:02):
She was a Hollywood mainstay for the death.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I think they all say that, right, I'm just thrilled
to be nominated.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
But I think they're happier if they have a you know,
metal in their hands when they go home.
Speaker 18 (21:12):
She was a Hollywood mainstay for the decades after mash
And did its run in nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Although I got to say this, if there's any actress
in the world, if there's any two actresses in the
world that I believe are authentic, when they say that,
it's Loretta Switt and Carol Burnett.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
When they say this, I'm just thrilled to be nominated.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I'm just thrilled to be nominated. Just thrilled to be nominated. Yeah,
just thrilled.
Speaker 18 (21:34):
She was a Hollywood mainstay for the decades after mash
And did its run in nineteen eighty three, even making
an appearance as recently as April at a fan event,
A fierce advocate for her fellow artists.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
The actors are great, the actors. I love actors.
Speaker 19 (21:50):
I'm not into talking about scandals or behavior, you know,
I'm into the work.
Speaker 18 (21:56):
Her last on screen appearance came in a twenty nineteen
faith based film called Play the Flute.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
I'm not making a difference in any homes. Stay was
living with a life for work.
Speaker 14 (22:08):
Well what is it like to be famous?
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Loretta?
Speaker 18 (22:11):
Does it ever get to you?
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Did you see that?
Speaker 17 (22:13):
You used stopped me running down the hall and there
were about fourteen reporters running after me with their cameras flashing,
And I thought I was playing pac Man. I thought
I was a little yellow monster getting gobbled up. I
think the rewards more than compensate. It's just something you
have to learn to live with in your own way.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Very sad, Sad because because I knew Loretta sweat, Sad
because I love to work, and sad that she didn't
make it till five point thirty today to hear a
big announcement.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
You know, I just missed it, just missed it. Theretta Sweat.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
What a beautiful woman, and I was privileged to happen
to have gotten to know her, not on a personal level.
You know, I worked for her for about forty five minutes.
Supposed to work for her for about six hours, but
still forty five minutes is better than nothing.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
There is something to be said for Uh. The lone
interaction with someone who's now gone is an angry one.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
On that person's part.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Probably I mean something to that.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
When she did come on, she said she completely forgot
about that, which I was really about because my boss
didn't forget about it, and I didn't forget about it.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
But she did because she let it go magnanimous. Yep,
she let it go.
Speaker 6 (23:33):

How you Bob?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I'm good?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
You know you got that Shania Twain bumper music. That
must mean Matthew's in there.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That's right. Someone I didn't know until today.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
He had a big Shanaia Way, Shania Twain, Shania Train, Joan,
It's Twain Twain, Nia Twain Jones.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, Queen of Country from the late nineties of the
early two thousands. Some would say, you really enjoyed that.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I got to meet your mom. She was here last week. Yeah,
mama came in.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Well, they absolutely You guys may have both been in
the infield at Churchill Downs at the same time.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
It sounds like this is.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
So great, And I hope I'm not speaking out of
school here. You can dump it if I am. But
I said to Michael Monk's mom, you ever been to
the Kentucky Derby. She goes, I've jumped the fence to
go to the Kentucky Derby and drank all day.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
That's my kind of woman. That's my mama.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
That's a Louisville woman. Louisville mom jumping the fence to
get into the derby. Yeah, old schools man. That was
a different time. Even though that's the northern part of
the South, the Mason Dixon line there, she's the Southern.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
People from Louisville sound country. Keep now we moved to
northern Kentucky and the accent's not so strong. It's more Cincinnati, right,
But there's debate. Look, the north doesn't claim Kentucky, the
South doesn't claim Kentucky. People in Kentucky have had an
identity crisis since the Civil War.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Right, but the but the southern line, I mean the
north south line is north of the northern border of Kentucky,
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
The Covington, Kentucky where I live. The police department there,
My dad was a police officer there. On their uniforms,
they were a patch, says Covington, Kentucky gateway to the south.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Okay, that's great. That's really far north.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Yeah, so they try to sell it and some of that.
The old marketing used to be northern Kentucky, the southern
side of Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
That's classic, man. Yeah, I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I had a girlfriend who's from Louisville, and I got
to meet her all her you know, her parents and
her brothers and sisters and everything. It was just a
really tight family. And I thought, Wow, that's an exception.
It wasn't It was the rule In Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
People tend to be nice. Yeah, they tend to be nice.
And everybody owns a boat.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Lake Cumberland, the rivers. Yeah, a lot of that.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
It's a little too steamy there for me, you know,
So I'm degrees there is different than ninety degrees here,
you're sweating in every crevice of your body. That's right,
that's in this summertime.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Hey, So the socials are taking over La.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
This was another big day for the socialists. Keep in
mind the socialists at La City. Oh, the Democratic Socialists sure,
Democratic Socialists of America aligned members of the city council.
There's a few of them, maybe three and a half
of them, but three of them solidly aligned. Isabelle Herrado,
Hugosota Martinez, Unisses Hernandez. They had a lot of poll
in this year's budget negotiations. In years past, these three
probably would have voted against the budget for too much
(26:25):
money to the police, not enough to these other services
that we care about. That all reversed this year with
a lot of lobbying from Unisses Hernandez. Really yeah, and
so the three people that ended up voting against the
budget this year are one saying we need more police
and firefighters, and they're the ones who came out on
the short end of that stick.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
It really wow eighty Yeah, where's my mom would say?
What a three sixth thing?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
People mix that up.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
She might be from Kentucky too, Yeah, she might be
the school is not so great. Well, okay, so what's
happened is they might be flexing a little bit, like
we've we've got some capital here, we've got influence. City
Hall is clearly drifted a little bit to the left
in spite of the national political trend. So these three
came out today with the proposal that is wholeheartedly endorsed
by the Democratic Socialist of America and some of the unions.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
And what they're on your seat beltsang company? Is a
public bank? A public bank, a public bank.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
It's not every day you hear public officials in Los
Angeles say, you know, we should be more like North Dakota.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
What is North Dakota public?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
North Dakota has apparently had a public bank since nineteen nineteen.
I don't think you were at that, Kentucky. That was
a while ago ago.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
But how does this work? Is is the is it
going to be?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
You know, as long as you live in the county,
you can open up an account.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Basically, they would serve as their own bank, and it
seems like as a public bank, it would be available
to people like you and me if you live in
the city as well.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
They're complaints its city, not county. It's a city.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
This is we' talking about La City here, right, Okay,
So if you're in La this is a bank that
you can deal with, including the city itself. These members
of council say, look, we're in a budget crunch. Year
after year, we're cutting services and a lot of our
money is going to Wall Street. It's going to private
banks one point four billion dollars. They say, I'm paid
in fees and their debt and it's just too much.
(28:18):
So if they if they create this public bank backed
up by their own situation, which is it great that
they'd be in a better financial position.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Who's gonna Michael Monks is with us, the host every
Saturday night from seven to nine pm, called you Got Monks.
I believe who's gonna who has the experience downtown to
run a bank?
Speaker 2 (28:40):
This is a.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Very good question, okay. And some would say no one.
Some would say no one because this is a group
that has clearly had some trouble managing its own books.
But I love the fact that they that they at
least acknowledge that these big banks are getting all of
the money in fees and in you know, in interest
rates and all that stuff and that I can stay
in the city. They've not only gotten behind the idea,
(29:03):
they're putting some of their money where their mouth is.
Each of these three members of council have taken fifteen
thousand dollars from their own office accounts for a total
of forty five grand to study this issue. It's going
to be sent to a city Council committee for further explanation. Now,
just to give you an idea of how city finances
work in Los Angeles. A couple of years ago, the
city Council voted unanimously to allocate four hundred and sixty
(29:26):
thousand dollars to a group called HR and A Advisors
to conduct a feasibility study for a public bank. But
as things go in Los Angeles, the money was included
in the budget for the last fiscal year this current one,
but later allocated for other uses amid budget constraints.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
See, I'm not I mean, I know you guys think
I'm this right wing wacko, but I'm not against this.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
You know, I have a feeling that they're onto something.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Look, I don't want to see it expand into Hey,
now we own car dealerships and you know now we
own stadiums and now we own seven elevens and they
you know, they all in the world. But I think
you can convince enough people in Los Angeles that our
hard earned money is going to these big banks and
credit unions and it could stay in Outlie.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
You are ready for the North dakotaization of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
That's right, That's exactly right. So are they close to
doing this?
Speaker 9 (30:17):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Far away? This is this is a little bit. It
is illegal to do this. It is legal, Okay.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Now they've allocated in the past, like I said, four
hundred and sixty thousand dollars to study it. It didn't end
up getting studied. Now they've got forty five thousand. Now
maybe they'll pass the hat around a little bit more.
It's going to go to a committee. The way the
city hall processes work is it goes to a committee first,
maybe multiple committees, the committee signs off on it, then
it goes to the full council for debate and consideration.
If that happens, it looks like what they'll do is
(30:43):
they'll endow another study, another attempt to study this thing,
and after that study comes back, however long that takes,
then they'll see what their options are.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
They're calling it the Federal Union Los Angeles. What are
the initials there? I think we got to work on that.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
My bang's tied up at ful. Oh that's good.
Speaker 12 (31:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I like it though, Monks. What's on the big show Saturday?
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Oh my gosh, you know this is the weekend that
the Army Corps of Engineers is leaving the palace.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
So I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I kind of finished their Their assignment is over, and
there is a resident there you may know from undercover billionaire.
She's not happy about this, and she's also not happy
with how that debris is being removed in which landfills
is going to. She says she's got an idea that
no one's listened to. It involves trains and landfills far
away from here.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
So she's joining me on Saturday to explain that. Okay,
I'm I'm I'm for that. I don't know if you
saw this though, and maybe it'll be it will continue
over the weekend, but they're closing. PCH was open last weekend.
Now they're closing it because it's some drainage problem they
got to fix. It's like the tariffs it's on, it's off.
It's on, and it's on, it's off. Buddy, Saturday, seven
pm to nine pm.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
F ul there, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
It is The Conway Show and I know it. It's official.
Now at five point thirty, we're gonna announcing the trip
because food has come in. There's sandwiches, there's champagne, there's wine,
there's cookies, there's bread, there's everything. So man bread, Yeah,
there's bread. They bought yes, bread Man. Yeah, it's gonna
(32:30):
be fantastic. So the big announcement, I'm nervous. You know,
this is a big deal. It's gonna be a lot
of people listening. At five thirty, find out where the
trip is. Where we're all going. We're all going on
a trip on our favorite rocket ship. I call it,
Dude and Little Einstein's all right, let's talk about the Palisades,
(32:52):
the Eaton Fire area.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Man, oh man.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Just when these people thought there's no way we can
get screwed again, well I think again, they're going to.
They've raised the rents in these areas for these poor
people in the burn scar areas.
Speaker 20 (33:08):
Rent in areas near the Palisades and Eaten fires have
grown faster in the last several months than other parts
of LA County.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Can you dig that?
Speaker 9 (33:16):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Sorry, dated term, But is that from hair or something?
Speaker 16 (33:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I think so ya, But can you believe that that?
You know, these people that are just trying to, you know,
dig out from this horrible disaster that happened in early January,
and now they're pounding them with rent increases and.
Speaker 20 (33:37):
La Times analysis found that rent within three miles of
the Palisades fire jumped nearly five percent between December and April.
Rent near the Eaton fire zone went up a little
over five percent in the same time. Experts say it's
likely because people who have lost homes in the fires
want to try and stay close to the same area
(33:57):
while displaced, and that demand resulted in an increased risk.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I always wash my hands on an airplane after I
use the loo, the loo, the toilet, the esser can.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yeah, I like that term, the esser, you know, but
I mean the whole word.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah, but now I understand you're not supposed to wash
your hands on an airplane.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
What the hell?
Speaker 21 (34:25):
So a flight attendant told Travel and Leisure magazine, you
should not wash your hands on a plane.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
What what's that all about? Not washing your hands on
a plane. Please, don't give people more excuses not to
wash their hands.
Speaker 21 (34:37):
You should not wash your hands on a plane.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Let's not tell people.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yes, I'm I'm with her.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Let's not tell people that.
Speaker 21 (34:45):
Well, she says, while toilets are regularly cleaned, the locks
and the door handles and.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
The boss kind of.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Stuff are not.
Speaker 21 (34:53):
Don't wash your hands and then touch a dirty door
or a handle. Instead, bring your own hand sanitizer or wipes.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I do that.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
I'm fully with sanitizer. When I hit a plane. I
think I bring an illegal amount with me. I have
those little tiny bottles, you know, like an ounce and
a half, and I have like thirty of them, and
I just pass them out to everybody.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
I'm pining. Hey, Hey here you need it? Need it?
Need it? I got it? Need it? Hey, Hey you
need some hey hands? How you any want some of this?
You want some of this? Hey you can have your own? Hey,
take the bottle.
Speaker 21 (35:18):
According to this one person, this is not a scientific situation.
But a nurse also agreed, saying, watch for the door lash.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, well anybody, Yeah, that's what you use the paper
of course.
Speaker 21 (35:28):
Yeah, and people often don't wash their hands.
Speaker 7 (35:30):
And I even use my arm to hit the water
things times.
Speaker 17 (35:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Yeah, so Andy, I.
Speaker 21 (35:34):
Just ask for a water bottle at my seat, and then.
Speaker 9 (35:37):
I just held a flight attendant to open the door
for me.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
I call her stewardess. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (35:42):
When I knocked twice, you can open the door and
let me out.
Speaker 17 (35:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Oh, that's Mark Chrisky. He's back on the KTLA morning news.
That's cool. That guy's great. Mark Chrisky.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
Twice, you can open the door and let me out.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
It's a cool, dude.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
They need that guy back on that show man that
that guy's the best.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
When I knocked twice, you can open the door and
let me out. Yeah right, Oh, mister Buckley's ready to go.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Maybe they should take a tell to the They should.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
They should clean the whole bathroom every once in a while.
Speaker 21 (36:11):
Also, can't imagine that if they're cleaning the toilet, they're
not You know.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
What, when you're going to the bathroom on a plane,
it's an emergency.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Otherwise, why would you do that?
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Yeah, right, you're not going there because well why not.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah, it's like you're going to burn some time off
you have to go, or else you're going to go
in your pants, because why would you stand up and
make that, you know, like that that embarrassing walk past everybody,
you know, bumping into people. If there's a little turbulence
and everybody's looking at you and sizing you up number
one or number two with this guy, that's all they're saying.
(36:47):
Is this guy gonna go for a touchdown? Or is
this guy just gonna water the grass? I don't know,
But they're all looking at you, and there's only they're
only saying one or two.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
They're not using those numbers, you know, they're using the
real words under their breath.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Is this guy or is he gonna?
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Is he gonna let it mellow?
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Yeah? You know some people have those signs in their house.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
If it's if it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown,
flush it down.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And we don't have those.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
No flush every time, please.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Everything goes full flush flush.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Yeah, no, everything gets blown away.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
So you would never get one of those toilets that
has the two buttons where it's for liquid ones.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
For unless you can push both of them at the
same time. This one's the the tsunami.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
The lettering is worn off on the one on the solid,
but right.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Never use the one there's still tape over there, the
urine one.
Speaker 21 (37:43):
Also, they say don't order ice on an airplane.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Oh, I've heard that before. Yeah, this Andy Reesemart with
Kate Taylor. I've heard that don't order ice on a plane.
Speaker 21 (37:51):
A study found more than fifty different strains of bacteria
from a kitchen that makes ice for planes, including ones
that are known to cause infections in humans.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
In fact, Voice of the Chicks, she sounds to well,
but she's great. She's great. I love her voice.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
What is your name again? She's on the Good Morning
Show KTLA. What's her name?

I can never remember her name. It was so bad
because I know Mark Chrisky and a Buckley. Uh, I
know Andy Reesemeyer. What's her name?

She looks exactly like, Yeah, she want to you know,
she want a contest to get that job. Yeah, they're
looking for replacement. And they did a contest and people
send in videos and they picked hers, and she's beginning
like the superstar.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
People think when I put an unusual voice, I'm making
from him. Absolutely not. I adore and I'm huge fans
of unique voices like that.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
There you go. All right, nice cover, so hold your letters.
Nice cover. Alright, we get all right, five o'clock. All right.
