right, dig doong, it's June. I hope you remember that. I
hope you are aware of that.That Christmas seemed like a week or two
(00:20):
ago, and now it's June.Half the year is gone, well almost,
I guess at the end of June. Right, January, February,
March, April, May, June. At the end of June. Yeah,
the end of June, half theyear will have been eclipsed. And
now we're on to twenty twenty five. All right, Alex Stone is with
us, one of the great reportershere in Los Angeles. We're going for
(00:44):
a b C Alex Summer's here.Now you know what it means. Pumpkins,
spice lattes are coming back Sune.That's right. I love them.
This is Joe as the other day. They've already got Halloween stuff out.
Oh my god. You know myWiFi will will make that run every once
in a while. I should comehome and go they got Christmas up.
I'm like bag parent. I don'tthink I don't think they did that to
(01:04):
irritate you. Hey, before weget into summer, I got to say
something. I might need a DNAtest for uh my daughter. We got
her final report card today straight a'swow, congratulations. But hey, I
was the one I wanted to call, you know, twenty three and me
(01:26):
or one of those you know,doc in a box. Whatever it is,
that's not my DNA. I don'tknow what happened to say your wife.
Maybe we'll go through my wife.She's very smart. Maybe it's hers,
but man, it had to overcomemine. That's really tough to do.
Song, I'm doing a DNA test. Seriously, I flipped out.
(01:47):
I'm like, oh, this isthis really us? Is this our family?
What the hell? All right?So summer is here, and how
do we know that shark attacks?Check fire check sharks fire right, Yeah,
sharks fighting people in the ocean,that's right. So that one in
del Mar down in San Diego County, and luckily the guy is gonna live.
(02:12):
But yesterday morning, forty six yearold man named Caleb. He was
out swimming with a group, asyou know you see people doing where they're
about one hundred yards off the shoreand they're swimming together, getting together that
they do on Sunday mornings, andthey were out there. They hear screaming.
They jump into action. They knowthat their buddy's in trouble. This
takes a lot of something to notwhen there's blood in the water and you
(02:37):
know there's a shark there to gotoward your friend and not to say I'm
getting out of here and trying toswim away as fast as you can.
We're hearing from these guys now,Cameron Whiting and Kevin Barrett, they were
in that group of the swimmers andthey heard their buddy and they went toward
them. He heard the screaming.I didn't quite hear it what you was
saying, but Kevin next to mesaid, he said, he's screaming shark.
He's screaming shark. A little scarybecause you don't know what you swimming
(03:00):
into. You know, you arriveand I've got a shark by like he's
this guy. Does he have achunk out of him? Does he have
pieces missing? So they got there, they could see he was bit in
the chest and then he had abunch of blood coming out of his hand
because he had punched the shark awayas they tell you to do, and
his hand apparently got trapped in thething's mouth and then pulled it out and
cut it that way. They don'tknow what kind of shark it was.
(03:22):
Yeah, there's a lot of greatwhite juvenile sharks that have been in the
area. But anyway, so hehad this big gash on his hand.
He was bleeding all over the place, and then they got him helm.
So he had a pretty big gashin his hand that was that was bleeding
profusely as well. And we didn'tknow the extent of the injuries, but
there was definitely a lot of bloodin the water, and so we started
(03:43):
pulling him in. A surfer cameover and gave us his board, and
so Wow put him on the boardand I jumped on top of him and
started paddling in. So talk aboutluck. They get to the shore and
there's an er doctor who happened tobe walking along the beach and Bill Maury
yesterday, and then he jumped intoaction started giving medical help. Caleb's going
to survive. He went to ahospital. The swimming in del Mar on
(04:04):
the beach is closed today. They'relooking for the sharks. So the doctors
at the researchers at cal State LongBeach at the Shark Lab. They have
been out since yesterday looking for thatshark using drones. They want to use
DNA found in this guy's wetsuit orwhatever he was wearing, and they can
get DNA from the shark. Ifthey can find that shark. They don't
necessarily want to kill it, butthey want to know what kind of was
(04:27):
where it came from, because,as they explained to us today, that
they believe there are so few sharkattacks along the southern California coast with all
the millions of people who are inthe water every day, that they think
the sharks have adapted to not bitehumans that they don't know why it happens
every now and then, kind oflike Bruce and finding Nemo of I will
not eat a human, I willnot eat it. Did They feel like
that the sharks have somehow learned notto do it, and that happens every
(04:51):
now and then. They think thisshark may have either been very young or
been from out of the area,like hadn't gotten the message yet from the
other sharks of you don't do this. So they want to know all about
this shark and where it came from, what its background was. Is there
any truth I heard this and maybeI'm I don't know, maybe I'm watching
too much Fox News, But isthere any truth to Trump gave the shark
(05:12):
one hundred and thirty thousand dollars notto say anything, and it's a it's
a shark that's not going to tella seeker right now. You know,
you would think that these sharks,you know, like the other shark family
members would go, buddy, youfed up, you lift up? Do
not do that. Yeah, they'recoming after us. They got a lot
of equipment and now they're going tomake our lives hell around. Now they
got drones above us. Yeah,we've never got to move on. God
(05:33):
Almighty man. We told you don'tbite the yeomet but you know they only
bite them once, and I guessthey which is insulting. You know,
we're not flavorful enough for them,and they move on. Yeah, you
know, it's like, oh,and try to get out of it there
and then think, oh, thisis terrible. And there have only been
since the nineteen fifties, there haveonly been sixteen deadly shark incidents in all
(05:55):
of California. And two hundred andfifteen shark incidents is California Fishing Wildlife puts
it stay wide, So I meanit is rare for everybody who's out there
swimming. But when it happens,it, I mean blood in the water
and everyone going out there, andit's pretty dramatic. Did this one happen
in the ocean like all the otherones? It was right on land?
All right? Can you imagine thatit was walking on land? It's about
(06:18):
one hundred hundred yards out look.I hate sharks. I don't go in
the ocean because of sharks. AndI live in Burbank because I hate sharks.
You know. I got to thesharks that you see in Burbank are
a different type of shark. That'sright, That's right, man. I
hope this kid is okay. He'sgonna make it though. He's gonna be
all right, kind of kid,forty six years old, but I see,
okay, yeah, it's the firstthing they do when you ask him.
(06:41):
As soon as I get better,I'm gonna go right back out there,
of course. Okay, yeah,yeah. When when I don't know
when lessons come in to play,but I guess there's a in this,
Well, it's probably not gonna happenagain, So why not get back out
where you taking? I know thisis you know, we do news here,
but always like to you know,what's going on with your life?
Where are you taking the kids forthe summer vacation. We'll go to northern

(08:09):
six forty. All right, thingdong. Hey, there's a lot of
people are going on cruises this summer, maybe up I don't know, the
Columbia River, the Mississippi River.My brother just went. When I'm one
of those, Maybe going down tothe Caribbean, and you're gonna spend some
time in the Caribbean. There's Mexicancruises going on. We're in summer,
(08:30):
so they're gearing up to go tothe Alaska destinations and now cruises, which
when I was growing up, youhad to be ninety to get on a
cruise because everybody else was well ninety. And now it's drawing a younger crowd.
Younger people are getting out there inthe cruising around. Think dog with
(08:52):
these guys, all right, bigdog with these cruisers. Hey, Ron,
there's the take a cruise in jy. Thanks a little buddy. To
take a cruise in twenty twenty fourmeans fine dining, entertainment and thrills on
the high seat. It's a farcry from the shuffle board and buffet days.
(09:13):
To see that I was in theshuffle board and buffet days. It's
a far cry from the shuffle boardin buffet days. When my mom was
a life master at bridge, whichmeans she was one of the top bridge
players in the world, she wasranked in the top fifty in the world,
and she was great. She wasa terrific bridge player. So she
(09:35):
went on a cruise on Alaska,cruise on the Royal Viking Sky and for
one hundred dollars. You know,she was going to get a free cruise
because she was going to teach peoplehow to play bridge. And for one
hundred dollars she could take a memberof her family. And for some reason,
she chose me. You know,I had graduated junior high which is
a big deal in our family,and she chose me. So we got
(09:58):
on a the Royal Viking Sky inSan Pedro, went to Alaska and it
was a two week cruise with mymom in a small cabin, very tight,
very small, and I was fifteenat the time and the next youngest
person on that cruise fifty one.So fun for you, Yeah, it's
(10:20):
a lot of fun. That's whereI started smoking cigarettes because I got bored,
so stealing on my mom's purse.Go to the promenade deck at two
am, lighted up and like,wow, you get a nice head rush
from this thing. This is nice. And at the final two nights,
or I think it was the nightbefore the cruise ended, they were going
(10:41):
to have a huge Bengo game andthe grand prize was an eighteen thousand dollars
full length mink coat, and itwas blackout yet to get all the numbers.
So I'm playing. I got twocards going, thinking of nothing of
it, and all of a sudden, you know, B eight or whatever
(11:01):
it was, bingo, they checkedmy card and I won. All these
older women got so pissed that thisfifteen year old kid just won a eighteen
thousand dollars full length mink coat.Nowadays, it's tough to give that away
on a cruise. I get that. I get that, so I took
(11:24):
it back to the room and mymom said, where you got to take
that back? Where did you getthat? You're other money for that?
You stole that. I'm like,mom, Mom, give me a second
here, because she noticed it wasthe same It was the same coat that
they had in their little gift shopin like like on the third deck,
and she thought, I stole thething. Aw, that's the relationship I
(11:46):
have with my mom. Of allthe things you could have stolen, that's
what you would have writ Not akid kat, not a bottle of beer.
Full length yeah, full length minkcoat. That'll get you noticed,
right, But that's where it wasin my family. You do anything good,
Oh, stolen, ripped off,illed, legal, that's nothing happened
with you. And I said,no, I want it in Bengo.
(12:07):
So she did her research and asked, you know some of the neighbor in
the neighboring cabins if they had gone, yeah, and his son did my
son win? Yes, he wonthe mink coat. And my mom said,
you want to sell it? AndI said, yeah, right,
I didn't know. I didn't wantI had no idea what it was worth.
And she said, I'll give youfive hundred dollars cash for it.
(12:28):
And at fifteen five hundred bucks cash, that's that's retirement money in the in
the late seventies, retirement money.So I gave her the coach. She
gave me five one hundred dollars bills, and man, was I stoked.
I went on a two week cruiseand now I have retirement money. My
life was looking up. It waslooking up. And then I get back
(12:50):
and I do a little research,not online because that didn't exist, but
you know, you call around adifferent high end stores, and that coat
was worth it was the retail waswas or eighteen thousand, but the guy
I talked to, he said itcould be worth eighteen to thirty thousand dollars.
(13:13):
Wow, and you I sold itfor five hundred dollars. Five hundred
dollars. My mom ripped me offon the high seats on the high seas
in the middle of the Pacific.My mom's ripping my ass off for five
hundred dollars. Man, I thinkabout that coat all the time. Did
(13:35):
you at least wear it when youwere taking it back to the room.
You know, I only tried iton once. I my mom was out,
you know, teaching people bridge andI got out of the shower and
there was no road there, soI threw that sucker on. So so
up, mop junk chull you.I've been dude in that thing. Enjoy
(14:01):
every time you wear it. Nowyou realize, yeah, my kid was
nude, nude in this thing.Did she wear it a lot? Not
as often as you think. Youknow, when you live in southern California,
it's tough, you know, veryrarely is it forty below where could
throw the jacket it? But shedid wear it out a couple of times,
got a lot of compliments on it. Never told the story how she
(14:22):
ripped off her oldest son. Wellsure would you tell that? Yeah,
you know, just it looked like, you know, my dad had gone
out and purchased it for I don'tthink my dad ever cleared that up either.
When they would go out together fordinners and stuff and somebody'd say,
oh, what a beautiful coat,my dad was, oh, thank you,
thank you. Put some of theyou know, the laffele, dumpling
money, dwarf money, and bagmade sense. Bob's your uncle made sense.
(14:46):
It made a lot of sense.It made a lot of sense.
And I'm home, you know,wasting my five hundred bucks. And I
still whenever I see a full lengthmink coat, I still think of how
my mom screwed me over on thehigh seas. On the high seas,
man, God almighty, all right, we got to take a break.
We have a lot of story we'regonna get in the cruise story here.
(15:07):
But younger people are taking cruises.We're going to cover that. That's a
cool deal. And also there's anearthquake. I didn't feel it over the
weekend. My daughter did in Pasadenathree point five yesterday. So if you
felt that you're not crazy, you'renot crazy. It happened. It happened.
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior ondemand from KFI AM six forty.
All right, big dog, Iguess the big major news story is going
(15:33):
on in Delaware where they're going totry to throw Biden's kid in jail overlying
a on a I don't know,some kind of questionnaire when it comes to
buying a gun and twenty five yearsthey're going to put this kid in jail
twenty five years for lying when buyinga gun. But there are a thousand
(15:54):
people listening right now, just guessingthe audience size now. I bet there
are a thousand people listening right nowwho have kind of fudged the truth on
a gun form. Right I don'tknow whether it's the drug part of it,
or you know where you live,or what your background is, whatever,
(16:18):
but I bet they can go toany gun store and pick out fifty
applications and ten to fifteen, maybetwenty of them would be a little suspicious.
So I don't know, it seemsit seems petty. That's just me.
Maybe I don't know, but itseems, uh, it seems odd.
(16:38):
But anyway, that's a big storygoing on on the East coast.
On the West coast, it isthe heat that's coming in the heat is
going to be unbearable this week,and especially if you're if you live in
the high desert or well even inthe low desert. It's going to be
horrible in Parker, Arizona, whereI'm going this week, and I hate
(17:00):
the heat, hate it. It'sgonna be one hundred Huh, that's a
great place to go for you.One hundred and eight degrees one hundred and
ten on Thursday, one hundred andten degrees on Thursday, one hundred and
ten degrees. That is wild.All right, young people, you know,
I don't know what they mean byyoung, but young girl, I
(17:22):
guess are going on cruises and enjoyingthemselves. All right, let's find out
why why they're going dig dog withthese kids? They got money and thrills
on the high seas. It's afar crime from the shuffle board in buffet
as it depicts it on shows likeLove Boat a generation ago. The Love
(17:45):
Affair now includes pulsating beats, poolparties, and many more millennials. Oh
my god, I missed the shuffleboard. I don't think I'd be into
this with the pool parties and theloud music the DJs they are now includes
some pulsating jeets, pool parties,and many more millennials. As a millennial,
(18:07):
with all the things that we havegoing on in life, it just
makes it easy with the record breakingthirty. It's a millennial with all the
things that we have going on inlife, it just makes it easy with
a record breaking thirty. Like amillennial, Martian has a millennial. With
all the things that we have goingon in life, it just makes it
easy. With the record breaking thirtyone point seven million passengers setting sale last
year, Wow, how many oncruises. With a record breaking thirty one
(18:30):
point seven million passengers setting sale lastyear, a figure that's only expected to
swell to nearly thirty five million intwenty twenty four. More than a fifth
of cruise travelers are now millennials.That is crazy. Thirty one million people
have the money to get on acruise, almost the same figure as baby
boomers. Well, I thought theeconomy is in the toilet. We're all
complaining that McDonald's is too expensive.But thirty one million people, a tenth
(18:53):
of the nation is going on cruises, almost the same figure as baby boomers
and Gen xers. And over thelast two years there's been a major uptick
in first timers like Brooke goffago drawnto the entertainment. I love to dress
up and get fancy, and agood theme is always a good party.
Others like John Megis and Joey Fuenteshave been on lots of cruises. The
(19:15):
room is very chic, very innovative, but they say I have never described
a hotel room or a cruise roomlike that in my life. The room
is very chic. Never said that, very innovative, never said that,
But they say today's experience trends youngerand has tons of options. How about
cruising with this guy. This guy'syou know, your cabin one o three,
(19:38):
This guy's one oh four right nextto you. The room is very
chen. Okay, hey, I'mvery innovative. Okay, okay, okay,
alright, but they say today's experiencetrends younger and has tons of options.
Well, there's like twenty six differentrestaurants. Now, yeah, it
is just a floating you know kitchen. They when people go on cruises,
(20:00):
there are probably fifty options a dayand starts from five four thirty five in
the morning with your breakfast buffet,and it goes all the way to the
midnight buffet. And all it isis food. It's all just eating.
And that is a huge pull foryou. Yeah, it's a big draw.
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, Andit's the food industry experts say cheaper,
(20:22):
more reliable. Wi fi also representsa sea change, especially for those
who want to mix a little businesswith pleasure. Wi Fi has gotten so
good on cruise lines that people areable to stay connected. Wow. They're
also finding discounts, loyalty programs,and artists inspired voyages. That's who I
want next to me at a cruise, a guy who's really busy. You
(20:45):
know, he's in a cruise,but yet he's still you know, trading
stocks and making money and making dealswith everybody. He's the busy guy at
the pool, and everybody knows itbecause he tells everybody how busy he is.
Readily available at that guy, thatguy, hope he falls overboard,
readily available. There is a TaylorSwift themed cruise. Taylor Swift is not
(21:06):
going to be on board, butchance for Swifties to get together. Okay,
all right, now a little moreinteresting than sitting, you know,
next to the busy guy. Butif you talk to some newer cruisers,
like the grandsisters from Saint Louis,it's all about seizing the moment. So
maybe in our parents generation they hadto wait till retirement to do some of
these activities, but in terms ofour generation, it's like, let's get
(21:27):
it in now. So you thinkpeople in many ways are just prioritizing yolo
if you will, Yeah, weare. Yeah. It's always nice to
hear a reporter in his fifties usethat term. So you think people in
many ways are just prioritizing yolo.Yeah, you wear it well, young
man or middle aged man, Yolo, yeah, if you will? Yeah,
(21:47):
we are. Yeah. Anytime aguy in his fifties uses that term,
he has to say if you will, because it doesn't he doesn't.
He did not, He's not wearingit well. But in terms of our
generation, it's yolo yoo yeah,yolo. Right, all right, yolo,
if you if you will, allright, I'll get on the cruise.
(22:10):
What the hell, crozer, haveyou taken a cruise? Are you
a cruiser? I've done a fewcruises in my life. It's been about
fifteen twenty years since I've been onone. Where'd you go? Where'd you
go? Uh? I had twoon the west coast of the Caribbean,
or the western side of the Caribbean, and one on the eastern side of
the Caribbean. And I did oneof those en Sonata ones. Wow.
Is there was there gambling on board? Yes? Did you hit the casino?
(22:33):
Gamble a little bit? Not toomuch. I don't think you'd find
me anywhere other than the casino,you know, just hanging out. You
wouldn't be a dude, I'm tellingyou. To the top area on the
ship where you can sunbathe. That'sthe place to go. Oh is that
the clothing optional place? Yeah?Oh, it's where all of the the
entertainment staff go during the day.Oh the oh I see, Okay,
(22:57):
the dangers and yeah, all right, I think i'd go for that.
What the hell you know? Yousay, Oh, it's really crowded down
here on these other decks where everybody'sat where the pool is. Let me
go up there. I think Ido that, But I don't know.
I you know, I think i'dbe tired of people looking at me going
wow, wow, he not bewalking around naked. And you could just
(23:26):
hear women whispering like wow, amusing. Ge't quite make up which sound that
means where you're leaning with that one? Whoa, Oh look at that guy?
Whoa? Oh my god, whoasir? Real please, oh man,
(23:49):
I ain't gonna grab onto something.Boat man overboard, I'll get him,
all right, all right, alright, alright, we're live. You're
listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyanfrom kf I am six forty. Hey,

Donald Sterling The saga of Clippers OwnerDonald Sterling? Wow, Wow,
(25:22):
Wow, this thing is going tobe what everybody's talking about. Everybody's gonna
be talking about this thing. Yeah, it's hard to believe. It's already
been ten years since the Sterling scandalrocked la. Waitit, that's been ten
years since he was he was,you know, yelling at his lover.
I know, right about Magic Johnson. We used to play a clip on
(25:44):
the time in the air all thetime. Yeah, he's got its and
that was ten years ago. Holysmokes, that can't possibly be ten years
ago. There's no way that that'sten years ago. Somebody's lying. I
think it's five years ago. Allegationsof racism and misogyny ended with the former
Clippers owner banned from the NBA,forced to sell the team, and now
(26:07):
a new mini series forced to sellthe teams and put forced to sell his
team and put two billion dollars inhis pocket. What a punishment, And
now a new mini series is bringingit all back to life in a town
where basketball has a long and storiedhistory. Unbelievable stuff. Today, this
sport also has a dark and woefulpolar office. Can you imagine how they're
(26:30):
going to go after Donald Sterling here? If they went after Jerry West mister
Clean in the Lakers docu series.You imagine what they're going to do to
Donald Sterling. Oh my god,where's it going to be on belly?
You know? Are you from FX? I can't wait to look at you.
No, I think it's tomorrow night, right that tomorrow night I will
(26:52):
be watching. I will be too. For roughly a quarter century, Los
Angeles Clippers were the laughing stock ofthe NBA, and the team's owner,
Don't bring Black people to My gameswas called the worst team owner in all
professional sports. But it didn't endthere. For Donald Sterling, you do
(27:14):
run into guys like that every day. I was very hesitant about saying yes.
And O'Neil plays Sterling in the FXlimited series Clipped A real bad people
doesn't matter. The series takes usback ten years ago for a look at
Sterling's catastrophic racist implosion, the nearcollapse of his marriage, and the headline
making Ouster from the team he owned. The near collapse of his marriage,
(27:37):
the near collapse of his marriage.Thought he did get divorced, I thought
that that marriage ended, and theheadline making Ouster from the team he owned
for more than thirty years. Iwas not surprised to hear that the owner
of a sports team you know,makes some racial remarks. Laurence Fishburn plays
Doc Rivers, coach of the Clippers, who was struggling to keep but talented
(28:00):
team focused on a championship while attemptingto find a way to deal with Sterling's
demons. A year old to notmy older coach who's trying to contain it
all and just create a situation wherehis players can play the best they can
be, the best team be thebest team mates, and the best men
that they can be. Sterling's reignover the Clippers came to an ugly end
(28:22):
in twenty fourteen, went audio ofhim making racist comments hit the media.
That audio recorded by his mistress.Yeah, here we go, mister Sterling's
frank the sordid affair and a lifetimeban from the NBA, casting an ugly
spotlight on Los Angeles at the time. It's such a thoughtful commentary on her.
(28:45):
That crazy mask that his girlfriend usedto wear, that was Pritiviano,
That was pre covid. She justwore that because I don't know she was
into welding or whatever she was doing, but she used to wear that Welders
mask around That was wild not sohot either. It's such a thoughtful commentary
on a lot of major themes insociety, like racism and misogyny and infidelity
(29:10):
and you know, all of it. Yeah, everything you need for a
good docu series. Now. Theseries Clip is a six part series that

that's not my DNA. I don'tknow what happened to say your wife.
Maybe we'll go through my wife.She's very smart. Maybe it's hers,
but man, it had to overcomemine. That's really tough to do.
Song, I'm doing a DNA test. Seriously, I flipped out.
(01:47):
I'm like, oh, this isthis really us? Is this our family?
What the hell? All right?So summer is here, and how
do we know that shark attacks?Check fire check sharks fire right, Yeah,
sharks fighting people in the ocean,that's right. So that one in
del Mar down in San Diego County, and luckily the guy is gonna live.
(02:12):
But yesterday morning, forty six yearold man named Caleb. He was
out swimming with a group, asyou know you see people doing where they're
about one hundred yards off the shoreand they're swimming together, getting together that
they do on Sunday mornings, andthey were out there. They hear screaming.
They jump into action. They knowthat their buddy's in trouble. This
takes a lot of something to notwhen there's blood in the water and you
(02:37):
know there's a shark there to gotoward your friend and not to say I'm
getting out of here and trying toswim away as fast as you can.
We're hearing from these guys now,Cameron Whiting and Kevin Barrett, they were
in that group of the swimmers andthey heard their buddy and they went toward
them. He heard the screaming.I didn't quite hear it what you was
saying, but Kevin next to mesaid, he said, he's screaming shark.
He's screaming shark. A little scarybecause you don't know what you swimming
(03:00):
into. You know, you arriveand I've got a shark by like he's
this guy. Does he have achunk out of him? Does he have
pieces missing? So they got there, they could see he was bit in
the chest and then he had abunch of blood coming out of his hand
because he had punched the shark awayas they tell you to do, and
his hand apparently got trapped in thething's mouth and then pulled it out and
cut it that way. They don'tknow what kind of shark it was.
(03:22):
Yeah, there's a lot of greatwhite juvenile sharks that have been in the
area. But anyway, so hehad this big gash on his hand.
He was bleeding all over the place, and then they got him helm.
So he had a pretty big gashin his hand that was that was bleeding
profusely as well. And we didn'tknow the extent of the injuries, but
there was definitely a lot of bloodin the water, and so we started
(03:43):
pulling him in. A surfer cameover and gave us his board, and
so Wow put him on the boardand I jumped on top of him and
started paddling in. So talk aboutluck. They get to the shore and
there's an er doctor who happened tobe walking along the beach and Bill Maury
yesterday, and then he jumped intoaction started giving medical help. Caleb's going
to survive. He went to ahospital. The swimming in del Mar on
(04:04):
the beach is closed today. They'relooking for the sharks. So the doctors
at the researchers at cal State LongBeach at the Shark Lab. They have
been out since yesterday looking for thatshark using drones. They want to use
DNA found in this guy's wetsuit orwhatever he was wearing, and they can
get DNA from the shark. Ifthey can find that shark. They don't
necessarily want to kill it, butthey want to know what kind of was
(04:27):
where it came from, because,as they explained to us today, that
they believe there are so few sharkattacks along the southern California coast with all
the millions of people who are inthe water every day, that they think
the sharks have adapted to not bitehumans that they don't know why it happens
every now and then, kind oflike Bruce and finding Nemo of I will
not eat a human, I willnot eat it. Did They feel like
that the sharks have somehow learned notto do it, and that happens every
(04:51):
now and then. They think thisshark may have either been very young or
been from out of the area,like hadn't gotten the message yet from the
other sharks of you don't do this. So they want to know all about
this shark and where it came from, what its background was. Is there
any truth I heard this and maybeI'm I don't know, maybe I'm watching
too much Fox News, But isthere any truth to Trump gave the shark
(05:12):
one hundred and thirty thousand dollars notto say anything, and it's a it's
a shark that's not going to tella seeker right now. You know,
you would think that these sharks,you know, like the other shark family
members would go, buddy, youfed up, you lift up? Do
not do that. Yeah, they'recoming after us. They got a lot
of equipment and now they're going tomake our lives hell around. Now they
got drones above us. Yeah,we've never got to move on. God
(05:33):
Almighty man. We told you don'tbite the yeomet but you know they only
bite them once, and I guessthey which is insulting. You know,
we're not flavorful enough for them,and they move on. Yeah, you
know, it's like, oh,and try to get out of it there
and then think, oh, thisis terrible. And there have only been
since the nineteen fifties, there haveonly been sixteen deadly shark incidents in all
(05:55):
of California. And two hundred andfifteen shark incidents is California Fishing Wildlife puts
it stay wide, So I meanit is rare for everybody who's out there
swimming. But when it happens,it, I mean blood in the water
and everyone going out there, andit's pretty dramatic. Did this one happen
in the ocean like all the otherones? It was right on land?
All right? Can you imagine thatit was walking on land? It's about
(06:18):
one hundred hundred yards out look.I hate sharks. I don't go in
the ocean because of sharks. AndI live in Burbank because I hate sharks.
You know. I got to thesharks that you see in Burbank are
a different type of shark. That'sright, That's right, man. I
hope this kid is okay. He'sgonna make it though. He's gonna be
all right, kind of kid,forty six years old, but I see,
okay, yeah, it's the firstthing they do when you ask him.
(06:41):
As soon as I get better,I'm gonna go right back out there,
of course. Okay, yeah,yeah. When when I don't know
when lessons come in to play,but I guess there's a in this,
Well, it's probably not gonna happenagain, So why not get back out
where you taking? I know thisis you know, we do news here,
but always like to you know,what's going on with your life?
Where are you taking the kids forthe summer vacation. We'll go to northern
California to see family. We don'thave a big one this summer. You
(07:03):
guys going anywhere? Nah? Ithink Oregon for a week. I'm going
this weekend to Parker, Arizona.Is sitting a raft where it's one hundred
and ten degrees outside. Oh,that's gonna be sizzling there. You're going.
You're going down a river. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, the
Colorado River. They have a thingcalled the Parker Float every year and there's
you know, ten thousand people thatget on a raft and you float down
(07:24):
the river. And it's gonna befun. It's gonna be great. It's
gonna be great. And I gotan air conditioner and a generator and about
nine hundred beers so and a wholelot of sunscreen. I'll be in the
r at by seven o'clock. Buddy. I appreciate you coming on, and
we'll speak to you soon. Yougot it all right, Alex Stone with
ABC News. The official summer hasstarted here in California. Shark attack,
(07:46):
heat wave, fires in northern California. All three a sign that we've started
summer. So the rain's over,the floods are over, landslides are over,
and now we go right in tomore disasters. We never stopped,
never ever stop. You're listening toTim Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM
(08:09):
six forty. All right, thingdong. Hey, there's a lot of
people are going on cruises this summer, maybe up I don't know, the
Columbia River, the Mississippi River.My brother just went. When I'm one
of those, Maybe going down tothe Caribbean, and you're gonna spend some
time in the Caribbean. There's Mexicancruises going on. We're in summer,
(08:30):
so they're gearing up to go tothe Alaska destinations and now cruises, which
when I was growing up, youhad to be ninety to get on a
cruise because everybody else was well ninety. And now it's drawing a younger crowd.
Younger people are getting out there inthe cruising around. Think dog with
(08:52):
these guys, all right, bigdog with these cruisers. Hey, Ron,
there's the take a cruise in jy. Thanks a little buddy. To
take a cruise in twenty twenty fourmeans fine dining, entertainment and thrills on
the high seat. It's a farcry from the shuffle board and buffet days.
(09:13):
To see that I was in theshuffle board and buffet days. It's
a far cry from the shuffle boardin buffet days. When my mom was
a life master at bridge, whichmeans she was one of the top bridge
players in the world, she wasranked in the top fifty in the world,
and she was great. She wasa terrific bridge player. So she
(09:35):
went on a cruise on Alaska,cruise on the Royal Viking Sky and for
one hundred dollars. You know,she was going to get a free cruise
because she was going to teach peoplehow to play bridge. And for one
hundred dollars she could take a memberof her family. And for some reason,
she chose me. You know,I had graduated junior high which is
a big deal in our family,and she chose me. So we got
(09:58):
on a the Royal Viking Sky inSan Pedro, went to Alaska and it
was a two week cruise with mymom in a small cabin, very tight,
very small, and I was fifteenat the time and the next youngest
person on that cruise fifty one.So fun for you, Yeah, it's
(10:20):
a lot of fun. That's whereI started smoking cigarettes because I got bored,
so stealing on my mom's purse.Go to the promenade deck at two
am, lighted up and like,wow, you get a nice head rush
from this thing. This is nice. And at the final two nights,
or I think it was the nightbefore the cruise ended, they were going
(10:41):
to have a huge Bengo game andthe grand prize was an eighteen thousand dollars
full length mink coat, and itwas blackout yet to get all the numbers.
So I'm playing. I got twocards going, thinking of nothing of
it, and all of a sudden, you know, B eight or whatever
(11:01):
it was, bingo, they checkedmy card and I won. All these
older women got so pissed that thisfifteen year old kid just won a eighteen
thousand dollars full length mink coat.Nowadays, it's tough to give that away
on a cruise. I get that. I get that, so I took
(11:24):
it back to the room and mymom said, where you got to take
that back? Where did you getthat? You're other money for that?
You stole that. I'm like,mom, Mom, give me a second
here, because she noticed it wasthe same It was the same coat that
they had in their little gift shopin like like on the third deck,
and she thought, I stole thething. Aw, that's the relationship I
(11:46):
have with my mom. Of allthe things you could have stolen, that's
what you would have writ Not akid kat, not a bottle of beer.
Full length yeah, full length minkcoat. That'll get you noticed,
right, But that's where it wasin my family. You do anything good,
Oh, stolen, ripped off,illed, legal, that's nothing happened
with you. And I said,no, I want it in Bengo.
(12:07):
So she did her research and asked, you know some of the neighbor in
the neighboring cabins if they had gone, yeah, and his son did my
son win? Yes, he wonthe mink coat. And my mom said,
you want to sell it? AndI said, yeah, right,
I didn't know. I didn't wantI had no idea what it was worth.
And she said, I'll give youfive hundred dollars cash for it.
(12:28):
And at fifteen five hundred bucks cash, that's that's retirement money in the in
the late seventies, retirement money.So I gave her the coach. She
gave me five one hundred dollars bills, and man, was I stoked.
I went on a two week cruiseand now I have retirement money. My
life was looking up. It waslooking up. And then I get back
(12:50):
and I do a little research,not online because that didn't exist, but
you know, you call around adifferent high end stores, and that coat
was worth it was the retail waswas or eighteen thousand, but the guy
I talked to, he said itcould be worth eighteen to thirty thousand dollars.
(13:13):
Wow, and you I sold itfor five hundred dollars. Five hundred
dollars. My mom ripped me offon the high seats on the high seas
in the middle of the Pacific.My mom's ripping my ass off for five
hundred dollars. Man, I thinkabout that coat all the time. Did
(13:35):
you at least wear it when youwere taking it back to the room.
You know, I only tried iton once. I my mom was out,
you know, teaching people bridge andI got out of the shower and
there was no road there, soI threw that sucker on. So so
up, mop junk chull you.I've been dude in that thing. Enjoy
(14:01):
every time you wear it. Nowyou realize, yeah, my kid was
nude, nude in this thing.Did she wear it a lot? Not
as often as you think. Youknow, when you live in southern California,
it's tough, you know, veryrarely is it forty below where could
throw the jacket it? But shedid wear it out a couple of times,
got a lot of compliments on it. Never told the story how she
(14:22):
ripped off her oldest son. Wellsure would you tell that? Yeah,
you know, just it looked like, you know, my dad had gone
out and purchased it for I don'tthink my dad ever cleared that up either.
When they would go out together fordinners and stuff and somebody'd say,
oh, what a beautiful coat,my dad was, oh, thank you,
thank you. Put some of theyou know, the laffele, dumpling
money, dwarf money, and bagmade sense. Bob's your uncle made sense.
(14:46):
It made a lot of sense.It made a lot of sense.
And I'm home, you know,wasting my five hundred bucks. And I
still whenever I see a full lengthmink coat, I still think of how
my mom screwed me over on thehigh seas. On the high seas,
man, God almighty, all right, we got to take a break.
We have a lot of story we'regonna get in the cruise story here.
(15:07):
But younger people are taking cruises.We're going to cover that. That's a
cool deal. And also there's anearthquake. I didn't feel it over the
weekend. My daughter did in Pasadenathree point five yesterday. So if you
felt that you're not crazy, you'renot crazy. It happened. It happened.
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior ondemand from KFI AM six forty.
All right, big dog, Iguess the big major news story is going
(15:33):
on in Delaware where they're going totry to throw Biden's kid in jail overlying
a on a I don't know,some kind of questionnaire when it comes to
buying a gun and twenty five yearsthey're going to put this kid in jail
twenty five years for lying when buyinga gun. But there are a thousand
(15:54):
people listening right now, just guessingthe audience size now. I bet there
are a thousand people listening right nowwho have kind of fudged the truth on
a gun form. Right I don'tknow whether it's the drug part of it,
or you know where you live,or what your background is, whatever,
(16:18):
but I bet they can go toany gun store and pick out fifty
applications and ten to fifteen, maybetwenty of them would be a little suspicious.
So I don't know, it seemsit seems petty. That's just me.
Maybe I don't know, but itseems, uh, it seems odd.
(16:38):
But anyway, that's a big storygoing on on the East coast.
On the West coast, it isthe heat that's coming in the heat is
going to be unbearable this week,and especially if you're if you live in
the high desert or well even inthe low desert. It's going to be
horrible in Parker, Arizona, whereI'm going this week, and I hate
(17:00):
the heat, hate it. It'sgonna be one hundred Huh, that's a
great place to go for you.One hundred and eight degrees one hundred and
ten on Thursday, one hundred andten degrees on Thursday, one hundred and
ten degrees. That is wild.All right, young people, you know,
I don't know what they mean byyoung, but young girl, I
(17:22):
guess are going on cruises and enjoyingthemselves. All right, let's find out
why why they're going dig dog withthese kids? They got money and thrills
on the high seas. It's afar crime from the shuffle board in buffet
as it depicts it on shows likeLove Boat a generation ago. The Love
(17:45):
Affair now includes pulsating beats, poolparties, and many more millennials. Oh
my god, I missed the shuffleboard. I don't think I'd be into
this with the pool parties and theloud music the DJs they are now includes
some pulsating jeets, pool parties,and many more millennials. As a millennial,
(18:07):
with all the things that we havegoing on in life, it just
makes it easy with the record breakingthirty. It's a millennial with all the
things that we have going on inlife, it just makes it easy with
a record breaking thirty. Like amillennial, Martian has a millennial. With
all the things that we have goingon in life, it just makes it
easy. With the record breaking thirtyone point seven million passengers setting sale last
year, Wow, how many oncruises. With a record breaking thirty one
(18:30):
point seven million passengers setting sale lastyear, a figure that's only expected to
swell to nearly thirty five million intwenty twenty four. More than a fifth
of cruise travelers are now millennials.That is crazy. Thirty one million people
have the money to get on acruise, almost the same figure as baby
boomers. Well, I thought theeconomy is in the toilet. We're all
complaining that McDonald's is too expensive.But thirty one million people, a tenth
(18:53):
of the nation is going on cruises, almost the same figure as baby boomers
and Gen xers. And over thelast two years there's been a major uptick
in first timers like Brooke goffago drawnto the entertainment. I love to dress
up and get fancy, and agood theme is always a good party.
Others like John Megis and Joey Fuenteshave been on lots of cruises. The
(19:15):
room is very chic, very innovative, but they say I have never described
a hotel room or a cruise roomlike that in my life. The room
is very chic. Never said that, very innovative, never said that,
But they say today's experience trends youngerand has tons of options. How about
cruising with this guy. This guy'syou know, your cabin one o three,
(19:38):
This guy's one oh four right nextto you. The room is very
chen. Okay, hey, I'mvery innovative. Okay, okay, okay,
alright, but they say today's experiencetrends younger and has tons of options.
Well, there's like twenty six differentrestaurants. Now, yeah, it
is just a floating you know kitchen. They when people go on cruises,
(20:00):
there are probably fifty options a dayand starts from five four thirty five in
the morning with your breakfast buffet,and it goes all the way to the
midnight buffet. And all it isis food. It's all just eating.
And that is a huge pull foryou. Yeah, it's a big draw.
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, Andit's the food industry experts say cheaper,
(20:22):
more reliable. Wi fi also representsa sea change, especially for those
who want to mix a little businesswith pleasure. Wi Fi has gotten so
good on cruise lines that people areable to stay connected. Wow. They're
also finding discounts, loyalty programs,and artists inspired voyages. That's who I
want next to me at a cruise, a guy who's really busy. You
(20:45):
know, he's in a cruise,but yet he's still you know, trading
stocks and making money and making dealswith everybody. He's the busy guy at
the pool, and everybody knows itbecause he tells everybody how busy he is.
Readily available at that guy, thatguy, hope he falls overboard,
readily available. There is a TaylorSwift themed cruise. Taylor Swift is not
(21:06):
going to be on board, butchance for Swifties to get together. Okay,
all right, now a little moreinteresting than sitting, you know,
next to the busy guy. Butif you talk to some newer cruisers,
like the grandsisters from Saint Louis,it's all about seizing the moment. So
maybe in our parents generation they hadto wait till retirement to do some of
these activities, but in terms ofour generation, it's like, let's get
(21:27):
it in now. So you thinkpeople in many ways are just prioritizing yolo
if you will, Yeah, weare. Yeah. It's always nice to
hear a reporter in his fifties usethat term. So you think people in
many ways are just prioritizing yolo.Yeah, you wear it well, young
man or middle aged man, Yolo, yeah, if you will? Yeah,
(21:47):
we are. Yeah. Anytime aguy in his fifties uses that term,
he has to say if you will, because it doesn't he doesn't.
He did not, He's not wearingit well. But in terms of our
generation, it's yolo yoo yeah,yolo. Right, all right, yolo,
if you if you will, allright, I'll get on the cruise.
(22:10):
What the hell, crozer, haveyou taken a cruise? Are you
a cruiser? I've done a fewcruises in my life. It's been about
fifteen twenty years since I've been onone. Where'd you go? Where'd you
go? Uh? I had twoon the west coast of the Caribbean,
or the western side of the Caribbean, and one on the eastern side of
the Caribbean. And I did oneof those en Sonata ones. Wow.
Is there was there gambling on board? Yes? Did you hit the casino?
(22:33):
Gamble a little bit? Not toomuch. I don't think you'd find
me anywhere other than the casino,you know, just hanging out. You
wouldn't be a dude, I'm tellingyou. To the top area on the
ship where you can sunbathe. That'sthe place to go. Oh is that
the clothing optional place? Yeah?Oh, it's where all of the the
entertainment staff go during the day.Oh the oh I see, Okay,
(22:57):
the dangers and yeah, all right, I think i'd go for that.
What the hell you know? Yousay, Oh, it's really crowded down
here on these other decks where everybody'sat where the pool is. Let me
go up there. I think Ido that, But I don't know.
I you know, I think i'dbe tired of people looking at me going
wow, wow, he not bewalking around naked. And you could just
(23:26):
hear women whispering like wow, amusing. Ge't quite make up which sound that
means where you're leaning with that one? Whoa, Oh look at that guy?
Whoa? Oh my god, whoasir? Real please, oh man,
(23:49):
I ain't gonna grab onto something.Boat man overboard, I'll get him,

that was ten years ago. Holysmokes, that can't possibly be ten years
ago. There's no way that that'sten years ago. Somebody's lying. I
think it's five years ago. Allegationsof racism and misogyny ended with the former
Clippers owner banned from the NBA,forced to sell the team, and now
(26:07):
a new mini series forced to sellthe teams and put forced to sell his
team and put two billion dollars inhis pocket. What a punishment, And
now a new mini series is bringingit all back to life in a town
where basketball has a long and storiedhistory. Unbelievable stuff. Today, this
sport also has a dark and woefulpolar office. Can you imagine how they're
(26:30):
going to go after Donald Sterling here? If they went after Jerry West mister
Clean in the Lakers docu series.You imagine what they're going to do to
Donald Sterling. Oh my god,where's it going to be on belly?

Angeles Clippers were the laughing stock ofthe NBA, and the team's owner,
Don't bring Black people to My gameswas called the worst team owner in all
professional sports. But it didn't endthere. For Donald Sterling, you do
(27:14):
run into guys like that every day. I was very hesitant about saying yes.
And O'Neil plays Sterling in the FXlimited series Clipped A real bad people
doesn't matter. The series takes usback ten years ago for a look at
Sterling's catastrophic racist implosion, the nearcollapse of his marriage, and the headline
making Ouster from the team he owned. The near collapse of his marriage,
(27:37):
the near collapse of his marriage.Thought he did get divorced, I thought
that that marriage ended, and theheadline making Ouster from the team he owned
for more than thirty years. Iwas not surprised to hear that the owner
of a sports team you know,makes some racial remarks. Laurence Fishburn plays
Doc Rivers, coach of the Clippers, who was struggling to keep but talented
(28:00):
team focused on a championship while attemptingto find a way to deal with Sterling's
demons. A year old to notmy older coach who's trying to contain it
all and just create a situation wherehis players can play the best they can
be, the best team be thebest team mates, and the best men
that they can be. Sterling's reignover the Clippers came to an ugly end

in twenty fourteen, went audio ofhim making racist comments hit the media.
That audio recorded by his mistress.Yeah, here we go, mister Sterling's
frank the sordid affair and a lifetimeban from the NBA, casting an ugly
spotlight on Los Angeles at the time. It's such a thoughtful commentary on her.

That was pre covid. She justwore that because I don't know she was
into welding or whatever she was doing, but she used to wear that Welders
mask around That was wild not sohot either. It's such a thoughtful commentary
on a lot of major themes insociety, like racism and misogyny and infidelity
