Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to The Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It is the
Conway Show. All right, Ding dong. We've got tropical storm,
then turned into oh sorry about that, then turned into
our hurricane and now is blasting towards the state of Florida.
So it should land sometime while we're on the air. Yeah,
(00:26):
so it's gonna be a big deal, and we've got
We're not gonna do wall to wall coverage, but we
should certainly let you know what's going on. There are
a lot of people who are not evacuating. There are
a lot of people that are going to ride it out,
even though the mayor said if you stay, you're gonna
be killed, and there's a lot of people staying.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
A lot of people said screw it. I don't if
you saw this.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
But one family did something wild and highly I'm disgusting.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
They split with the kids and.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
The gram parents in the luggage, everybody in the car
and went inland. But they didn't have room for the dog,
so they tied the dog to the fence the front fence,
chained it to the front fence, and drove off how.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Do you do that? How do you do that to
a dog?
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
All right, let's find out what's going on with Milton.
The big storm, the big Category three coming towards Tampa
and Florida and clear Water, the whole run there.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
It's going to make landfall this evening late tonight, probably
after nine ten o'clock near Sarasota and then.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Buzz so between six and seven o'clock right here on KFI,
we will be on the air when this thing hits tonight,
between six and seven pm.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Yes, CNN's even saying that the worst conditions of Milton
are actually making landfall right now.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, it looks like pretty bad. I saw a house
that was on fire. I'm like, how that happened? Yeah,
like nine inches of rain an hour and there's a
house burning down.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Then buzza across the states.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I'm telling you, I know you have a lot of experience.
You lived in Florida for a while. Yeah for your
dad's Yeah, all right, so true or false? A lot
of old people live in Florida. Uh yes, okay, old people.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Mostly Central Park pretty much right where this thing's hitting.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Oh that's horrible. Yeah, I love that area. My mom
used to live down that area. My mom currently lives
in that area.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Is that right?
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Whereabouts just east of Orlando? Okay, yeah, my mom used
to live in Tampa. What's that city just north of Tampa?
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Clearwater is just north is it? Well, a little bit
to the on the coast, but there's Lakeland.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
There's I can't remember where she lives, but she was
just London, just north of Tampa, and she had she
had moved down there. She bought herself a condominium and
was down there for a while. And I noticed that
a lot of people were her age, you know, seventy
to eighty five. And when you're seventy to eighty five,
(02:56):
you've got you've already raised the kids, they've gone off
to school, they've gone off to work. You maybe have
some grandkids. But it's time to put your feet up
on the coffee table and watch ESPN or One Life.
To live whatever camp you're in, and not have to
worry about leaving your house every couple of weeks because
(03:19):
it might be destroyed and they're tired of it. They
don't want to repair the dry wall, they don't want
to have to replace the carpeting. They don't want to
have to deal with insurance companies low Ballingham on damage.
They have had it, and these back to back storms,
I think you're going to see a wild adjustment in
property in the affected areas, especially in Tampa and just
(03:43):
north of Tampa. I think you're going to see a
lot of people say, you know what, I'm going back
to California. I'm going to Texas, maybe going to a Cleveland, Detroit.
I can deal with the snow every year. I can't
deal with these evacuations.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
As has been sort of pointed out from time to time.
You know, people hate earthquakes. I to me, of all
the natural disasters, they're the easiest ones to deal with
because how many how often do you hear that people
die or from even get hurt, Yeah, get hurt home,
damage to any of that stuff is as bad as
they are.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
In that moment, it's over. Were you here for the
ninety four quake? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was why
Where were you?
Speaker 8 (04:21):
I was in Claremont.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
I was actually sitting in the living room watching TV
in the moment, and I had a couple of cats
and they came running down the hall and smashed right
into the sliding class door right in front of me,
and I was like, what the hell's room?
Speaker 8 (04:34):
All of a sudden it started shaking.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Wait, you're you're watching TV at four twenty or for
twenty one or whatever.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Then thing happened.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
I was wow, that was my life back then.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
What a life you got?
Speaker 9 (04:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Right, yeah, great, But it was the news was on.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
I was watching the overnight news or the early morning
news at that point, and it went out and came
back on, and it was one of those typical scenes
where the the anchors are readjusting themselves or their hairs
still you and they're like, oh, apparently we just bout
the big one, you know, that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And they got to come on and not panic, even
though they're panicked about their family.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yes, you know, they go, No, it's cool, everything's cool,
it's great, all right.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
So Milton is making landfall between well it's sort of
there now, as Croach point out, but the massive eye
of the storm is coming to shore between six and
seven o'clock tonight.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Central Florida, places like Orlando where we just saw Eva
going to see those hurricane forest winds, and then it
makes its.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Way quickly out of the state. By tomorrow afternoon and evening,
but leaving behind.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
It's going to pass over Florida night. By morning, it'll
be off the east coast of Florida.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Unfortunately, Kira a lot of damage.
Speaker 10 (05:36):
Yeah, you know, you bring up such a good point,
because they brought it up in the briefing today, the
President's briefing with all you know, the head of FEMA,
the Coast Guard, National Weather Center, all of that that
residents are hearing. Oh, it's been downgraded, but that doesn't
impact the impact doesn't change at all, just because we're
saying it has been downgraded. And I think it's important
(05:56):
to point that out once again.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
You touched on.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
That, and you know, I hate having everyone being so
focused on the category.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It's just a number.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
It's just based on the wind speed. It really doesn't
talk about how strong the hurricane is as a whole
and the impacts that is going to bring. Because just
jumping from one category to another doesn't really change much.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
It is still a large.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Well then how should we do it if we don't
pay attention to categories? How do you how do you
tell people that it's going to be a radical storm.
You know, you have to tell them Cat three, Category four,
Category five. That's why we have it, That's why it's there.
There's a big difference between going one hundred and eighty
miles an hour in a car and going seventy five
(06:39):
miles in a car.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Big difference and.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Major hurricane making landfall tonight, regardless if you see it
as a category three or four, which is why I
always say.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Don't let your guard down.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Don't always be so tuned into that category, because it's.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Still going tuned into the category. I'm a category category guy.
I'm a category guy. She can't talk me off it.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Up to thirteen foot storm surge for parts of the
Gulf Coast of Florida here, including Sarasota. That is life
threatening storm search. Tampa Bay eight to twelve feet that
is record breaking storm search.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I love how she says, ignore the numbers in category
and then without a breath, tells us the level.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Of storm search.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Right, So numbers are okay with the storm surge, but
numbers are not okay.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
With the category five or category three. What's going on
with this lady.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Eight to twelve feet that is record breaking storm search
for the Tampa Bay area.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
You could see there are fort Myers.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Eight to twelve feet.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
We saw a little bit of a southern shift in
the track just south of Tampa, which brought some of
these higher storm surge numbers to the south. Fort Myers
Naples five days.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
That's where she lived. My mom lived in Naples. You're
been in Naples?
Speaker 8 (07:40):
Yeah? Landa Lakes is actually up north there too.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Is that right? Is that where the butter is from?
Speaker 8 (07:44):
Landa Lake?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Fort Myers ever cut the knees off? What Landa Lakes?
You ever do that? Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Am? I the only guy who's ever done that?
Speaker 8 (07:55):
About even STEP's face?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You cut the knees off the Remember the the the
woman on the front of a Lando Lakes butter? I
think it was a Native American? Right, and thank you?
You cut the knees off and you move the knees up.
You've never seen that.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I feel like I remember like adjustments like things like
the dollar bill when you're folded a certain way. Do
you remember the Lando Lakes things?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It's a fairly immature thing to do. Oh yeah, and
I would do it a lot.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
You do.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It's it could be I mean, I think that's where
you got the idea from.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
You You haven't done that Angel Martinez.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
You tonight.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Yeah, well, I don't think.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That's still the logo. I think that's I think they
moved on from the logo. But you know, but but
you guys missed out. You know, I can't do it now,
it's over. But I used to do as a kid. Yeah,
cut the knees off and move them up, and I
looked pretty hot.
Speaker 11 (08:50):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
All right, let's find out the hurricane coming up and
I'm about to wipe out parts of Florida. But let's
find out what they're doing with the zoos. People are
always into animals.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I'm a big animal fan myself. I'm toying with doing
the show for three hours a day just on animals
because they never let you down. Animals are great, all right,
But how are the zoos preparing? They're taking the animals
with them.
Speaker 12 (09:21):
The Zoo Tampa team is working around the clock relocating animals,
preparing food.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
How about that job? How about that job making phone calls? Hey,
you guys got room for three lions?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
What? Yeah? We got three lions?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Okay, all right, Hi I'm from the Tampa Zoo. Do
you guys have a room for four huge male elephants?
Speaker 7 (09:44):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Do you know anybody? You don't?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Okay?
Speaker 12 (09:48):
And securing buildings. It's all a massive effort to keep
more than a thousand critters, including Florida's iconic flamingos and manatees,
safe and secure.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Oh, the flamingos, they're gonna have a tough run.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Whether it's something as large as an elephant all the
way down to something as small as you know, golden frog.
There's a plan in place on how to address and
make sure they're safe.
Speaker 12 (10:11):
There's also a ride out teams.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Okay, remember going to the zoo and they take you
through the exhibit where there's like spiders or tiny frogs,
and everybody is bored to death, to death because you
can go see You can see frogs in your yard.
You can see spiders in your house, and when you
see one you want to kill it. But they're at
the zoo. They have spiders and little tiny snakes. They're like, oh,
(10:36):
who cares? Who cares? But man, when you can see elephants,
that is the s man. When you can see the elephants,
that's a cool deal.
Speaker 12 (10:44):
There's also a ride out team staying on site to
keep watch over the animals.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
This is a team that will be in a secure
location during the storm. They are basically a group of
for lack of a better term, at the zoo, first responders.
Speaker 12 (11:00):
And from primates to porcupines, even pythons. Staff at Naples
Zoo setting up hurricane shelters for its creatures, like this
one for two black crowned cranes at Zoo Miami, currently
on the outskirts of Hurricane Milton's current path. The biggest
concern is rising water levels impacting exhibits built with moats.
For overall security, we've had to bring animals and keep
(11:21):
them inside because the moats, the water and the moats
has risen so much that it's created a bridge where
an animal could literally swim.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Out so they can get out. That's great.
Speaker 12 (11:29):
Animals like our lions, like our gorillas, animals that are
potentially dangerous of being secured overnight in their night quarters.
And inside Tampa's Florida Aquarium, it's nine penguins marching from
their first floor habitat to higher ground.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Ah, it looks like they got that covered all right.
Let's talk about the uh where is that a story here?
Speaker 8 (11:50):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
The waffle house? Okay, this is a good story.
Speaker 13 (11:52):
Officials one that the destruction Hurricane Milton can cause can
be devastating, But for people caught in a hurricane spot,
there's another less formal to go a storm's intensity.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
How do you judge a storm's intensity by how many
waffle houses closed?
Speaker 13 (12:05):
The waffle house index. When hurricanes stear through the South.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
YEP, it's called the waffle house index.
Speaker 13 (12:10):
Residents look to see if their waffle house has remained open,
even in limited capacity.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
That's that's the clue to get out. That's the clue
to get out. If your waffle house closes, time to
pack the kids.
Speaker 13 (12:22):
If it has, then they reassured that the coming storm
is unlikely to be catastrophic. A close location, on the
other hand, indicates possible damage.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Man, you know, it never ceases to amaze me how
fat we are as a country and how we're not
embarrassed by it. You know, we tell the rest of
the world, Well, if the waffle house is open, I'm
staying we tell the rest of the world. If they're
selling waffles, I'm staying.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Right, it's where are they getting their information.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I don't know. You know, we we've talked about this before.
But when my mom used to get a coffee, she
would go to McDonald's or I don't know, Mortz Delli
and get a coffee to go. Then you just have coffee.
She love coffee in two or three cups every morning.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
Did she call it coffee?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I think she just called it a cuppa for some reason, Yeah,
says I need a cuppa sorry Midwest.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
And my mom was really into abbreviations, like she didn't
like talking. Nah, she loved to abbreviate everything. So I
remember she was a travel agent and she said, she goes,
here's your tickets. You're going to New York tomorrow, you know,
to meet your dad for something. And I said what
airline'm on? And she said TA Dub And I said,
so go to the airport. And I call her like
(13:39):
at six am. I'm like, my I don't know what
T dub is? What is T dub? And she goes,
it's TWA, you idiot. I say that you're an idiot.
Why wouldn't you just give me the A? You know,
why would you just all also give me the A
where I can then find it.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
This whole conversation is taking place because you missed out.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
That's right, that's right. How much time did you say? Well,
now you're up at six am to talk to your
idiot kid. You're on T dub. You don't know T
dub is you idiot?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
You moron?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Wishall never had you kids, You know that kind of
run in the morning, six ame, but you she shortened
everything beginning abbreviations.
Speaker 13 (14:14):
Waffle House shares on social media color coded maps of
its restaurant locations in certain regions that will soon be
hit or are recovered from stock damage.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Now, I don't know whether this woman is doing this
story in a foreign country or here in the United States.
But if they're doing it in a foreign country, man,
does that make us look bad that we're gauging on
what we should do with our lives based on the
local coffee house or breakfast house selling waffles.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
That's what we base it on. Waffles.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And in a country that is known for being fat.
Every time you see an American overseas, it's always easy
to tell that's an American big of notches standing in
people's ways just looking at them. This is obnoxious, right,
we're just just loud looking. Yeah, and again my mom
would just get a coffee. But now people are getting milkshakes.
(15:09):
You know, you go to Starbucks and you have a
and set of three cups of coffee, have three milkshakes,
and you go, geez, why I put on thirty pounds?
I can't figure it out. Well, you're having twenty seven
milkshakes a week. You may want to slow down. You're
having twenty one, three times seven, twenty one milkshakes a
day a week every week. You're having twenty one milk checks.
(15:29):
And that doesn't even count the milkshakes you might have
outside of Starbucks. Maybe go to basroom Robinson now one
a week? See now if to twenty two milkshakes a week? Yeah, no,
they can't figure it out. You can't figure out what
and put on Wait, you're having twenty five milkshakes a week.
That's what's going on with But I'm on a coffee diet, Tim,
and you're.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Waiting for the waffle house to tell you whether to
pan it.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
Cakes, waffles and coffee.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
You know what? I love that we're going for it.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
We're always been the you know the country of big,
big houses, big car ours, you know, big wallets, big
hats attitude.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
The American attitude is you're not telling me nothing, doing
it my way.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
That's right, man. We love it. We love it.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I'm part of it too, Just big, big, big, big.
You go to dinner and there's nine pounds of food
on your plate. You never see that anywhere else other
than this country.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
We call this steak. We eat the Tamahawk, right, the Tamahawk.
All right. Rely on KFI and we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
We'll talk to a guy who's in Tampa, and we'll
check to see if his waffle house is open. Chad's
coming out with us. Chad Carson from Tampa, Florida.
Speaker 11 (16:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
We're trying to get our buddy Chad, who lives in Tampa,
on the phone. But I guess there's some self service
problems coming out of Tampa. So if we get him, great.
I hope he's safe, very safe. All right, Let's continue
talk about this hurricane. It's going to be a big deal.
(17:01):
It's coming in between six and seven o'clock tonight, so
about an hour and twenty minutes. The eye of the
hurricane is going to make landfall, and it's going to
cost a lot of money, a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
I just talked to my insurance agent about something yesterday
and he said, I have to call you back because
I'm dealing with Florida claims right now.
Speaker 14 (17:22):
That's right, I mean, that's where the full focus is.
Talk about the insurance claimers. Tamp Hurricane Milton could cause
damage of more than fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Wow, fifty billion, fifty billion dollars, No wonder.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
The insurance companies are bailing.
Speaker 14 (17:35):
And possibly as much as one hundred and seventy five
billion in a worse case scenario.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
That's according to Wall Street analysts.
Speaker 14 (17:41):
Just how much damage the storm leaves behind is tied
to the path Milton takes and what area of the
golf calls a Florida Gulf Coast it hits. A landfall
in the heavily populated Tampa region could send damage total soaring.
Two years ago, Hurricane Ian hit near Fort Myers as
a Category four storm and led to fifty bill losses.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Fifty billion billion, huge, all right, A lot of people
are unwilling to leave, a lot of people don't trust
the government anymore. I don't know when that started. I
don't know whether COVID had anything to do with it.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Or people just very suspicious of, you know, the government
lying to you. And so a lot of people in
Florida said, you know what, we've been told before that
this storm is going to wipe us out, We're going
to be killed. And we all made it, or most
of the people made it, some didn't. Uh So, a
lot of people are unwilling to leave. Some are unable,
(18:37):
but a lot of people are unwilling for.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
Despite days of evacuation warnings from local officials.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Business this is a car that went up and down
the streets forever, day in day out, morning, noon, night, overnight,
and it would announce to the entire neighborhood.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Business safely evacuated.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
The ear safely evacuate the area.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Some in the Tampa Saint Petersburg area are refusing to
heed the call. You're going to ride the storm out
in this boat right here?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Nah, Why, this is my kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
He's in a boat and he's going to ride this storm.
Ount my kind of guy.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
You're going to ride the storm out in this boat
right here?
Speaker 15 (19:20):
Niah Why Because I have nowhere else to go.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
Joseph Malanowski has lived on this boat since March.
Speaker 15 (19:27):
This is my home, this is my everything. That's all
I have right now.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
He ignored calls to evacuate during Helene anchoring in the
same area.
Speaker 15 (19:34):
And only my mash don't break or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Oh, it's a sailboat. He talked about his mask. He's
on a sailboat, and.
Speaker 15 (19:44):
My mash don't break or anything like that. We all right.
For the last one, Helena, I slipped through the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
This guy's great.
Speaker 12 (19:54):
Did you hear that?
Speaker 3 (19:55):
For through Helene, He's slept through it, slept through it.
Speaker 15 (19:59):
We are for the last one, Helena. I flipped through
the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Wow, man, is that guy had a clean conscience?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Huh?
Speaker 15 (20:07):
For the last one, Helena, I flipped through the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
My brother could do that. My brother Jake could sleep
through something like that.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
Aleen made landfall roughly two hundred miles to the north
of Tampa. Milton, on the other hand, is expected to
hit much closer.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, Helene was two hundred miles north of this guy
sleeping on a boat. This one is going to go
right over his his you know, sheep.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Row potentially bringing double the storm surge.
Speaker 16 (20:31):
This is the outside water line and it was about
the same inside.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
Deborah Davis also chose to ride out Helene At home.
Speaker 16 (20:40):
Lower cabinets have been fulled counters and sinks set aside.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
The sixty five year old former teacher, they what a
pain in the ass.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
You know, if you live in Tampa, you got to
take the cabinets off, the cabinet drawers, of the drawers,
and the cupboard doors. You have to take them off
the hinge and put them up high so they don't
get soaked or wet, you know, when the house floods.
And when you're in your sixties, seventies or eighties, you
don't have the energy to do that anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
You just don't.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You want to go to an area where you don't
have to worry about locking your home up or taking
the you know, the dresser drawers out or the cabinet
doors off.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
You know, every three or four weeks.
Speaker 16 (21:16):
Lower cabinets have been fulled, counters and sinks set aside.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
A sixty five year old former teacher lives in a
retirement community in Saint Petersburgh.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Okay, all right, so she's probably at least sixty five
and now has to do this whole deal over again.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Many of her and her neighbor's belongings were destroyed by
two feet of flood water here and are now piled
outside the condo.
Speaker 16 (21:37):
A lot of my neighbors were surrounded by their memories,
and their memories are now sitting in that dump pile
in the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, so why are they staying, Well, they're not. They're
not going to be staying. This will be the last
draw for a lot of those senior citizens. They'll sell
their place, They'll get what they can, and then they're
moving out.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
They've had it. David says.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
She's staying with friends nearby to leave town after her
car was totaled in the flood.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I saw somebody on I think it was on CNN
or Fox earlier that the guy the anchor said, does
anybody talk of leaving or selling their home? And the
response from the person who lives in Tampa said, everybody
he knows is talking about selling and leaving. Everybody he
knows is they've had it. They have had it. It's
(22:27):
a young man's game, young girl's game. You got to
get in when you're twenty thirty or forty, then you
can handle all that preparation every couple weeks. But not
when you're eighty five. You don't have the energy for them.
You don't have it. Hell, I don't have it yet
my age? How can I possibly have it at eighty five?
All right, doll, We're still going to try to get
chat on from Tampa. We understand there are sell problems
(22:49):
down there. Steve Gregory's coming on with at five o'clock
with a new story that's really only being covered. I
believe my KFI will tell you what that is at
five pm to night, and then the Dodgers played to
night as well. Lots going on, lot's going on tonight.
It's all covered right here on kfive.
Speaker 11 (23:09):
You're listening to Tim conwayjun you're on Demya from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
We'll keep an eye on on Milton. We'll have updates
all day long. And what's going on. That storm is
due to hit between six and seven o'clock, so about
an hour and ten minutes, the eye of the storm
will come across Florida and it's gonna be a big deal,
a big big deal.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
All right.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
So We'll keep an eye on that and keep you
up to date. Jenna Fisher one of the great actresses
in the world. I bet Stephush you would probably agree
with that, right. Oh yeah, that show The Office wouldn't
be the same without her, No, it would not.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
She played Pam or Pamela. Well yeah, Pam, okay, Pam
all right?
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Thing doing?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And she has either beaten cancer here I think she
beat it, which is fantastic.
Speaker 10 (24:01):
Jna Fisher is marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month by sharing
her personal battle with a disease.
Speaker 9 (24:06):
In an Instagram post, the fifty year old actress best
known for her role in the Office revealed that she
discovered a lump last year during a mammogram. Weeks later,
a biopsy determined she had stage one breast cancer. Fisher
had a lumpectomy, but also needed chemotherapy and radiation. Fisher
also announced that she is now in remission.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Ah, that's great. That's one of the great shows of
all time. I wasn't into it when it first came out.
I wasn't a big didn't give it a shot. And
then a couple of years ago, during Christmas break, I
was up in Oregon and my daughter who has never
said this to be ever before. She said, Dad, I
want you to watch the show. Why don't you to
(24:46):
watch the first three episodes? And I think you're going
to be hooked? And I said, so, I don't want
to watch this, and she goes, look, it's snowing outside.
We have nothing to do. Just watch the first three episodes.
I said, all right, all right, watch the first first one,
it was okay. Watched the second episode, cooked, Cooked, had
to watch all of them, kept watching them over and over,
(25:09):
and now when they come on TV, I watch them
whenever they're on.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
It's the greatest show.
Speaker 15 (25:15):
What.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I think it's the greatest sitcom ever on TV. I
really think it is, and I think a lot of
people share that opinion. I thought Seinfeld was great. Friends
is well written, but I think that they took a
lot of chances in the office that you would that
you wouldn't see on Friends or on Seinfeld.
Speaker 17 (25:37):
Oh yeah, because even Steve Carell's gone on record saying
if it came out today, they couldn't do it. The
episode when he calls he says, Oscar, you're gay. Boom
roasted that that would get have canceled, right, And.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
When he says to Oscar, Well, look, Oscar, he chooses
to be gay. You know you can't do that. He
can't do that nowadays, you know you can't. You can't
even write that or think that. So he couldn't do it.
They couldn't do that episode. You know, the standards and
practice would say, no, you're not doing that. So anyway,
Jenni Fisher beat cancer, which is fantastic, beautiful, beautiful actors,
(26:13):
very funny, top two or three funniest actors or actresses
I believe in Hollywood. So that's great news, great news
for Jenna Fisher.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Big doing with her.
Speaker 2 (26:25):

the ass when you see these eighty inch televisions for

When she was young, everybody got the cabbage patch doll.
And she woke up on Christmas and she sees this
box the size of a cabbage patch doll, and she
rips it open because all our friends have one.

It's a lettuce patch doll. Wait, it's the ripoff.
Speaker 8 (32:02):
It's another brand. Yeah, it's not like a head of lettuce.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
That's right, it's a lettuce patch doll. It's the ripoff
of the cabbage patch doll. And she was so embarrassed
she never told her friends. It is not a horrible box.
Yeah right, it's stayed in the box. But she made it.
