Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's hot out and I was outside watering and I
hit my the hose with the I hit a beehive
and I got stung in the mouth and hurts like hell.
(00:21):
So I apologize. I'm trying to cover it. I'm trying
to get through it, but it hurts like hell. All Right,
we have Chris on with us, Chris Adler. I believe
Chris Adler issues with k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I right, yes, yes, Chris Adler.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
How are you well?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I hope so, yes, ding dong with you? Chris. All right,
so you you.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Come on to talk about Yeah, yeah, a very popular
topic right now. I heard Moe Kelly talking about it
last night. I heard John Colebell talk about today, and
Gary and Shannon both mentioned it, and Bill Handle talked
about it as well. And that is the heat, right, you.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Know what tim I was. I started the day in
Venice Beach. I was interviewing the homeless people on the
boardwalk and this it was about at that time eleven twelve,
and it was about ninety five degrees I think, and
even in Venice Beach. I could feel the beads of
sweat dripping down my back, down my leg.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
God, TMI, yeah, but it was so hot. Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Then I get to Woodland Hills in Tarzana area and
I took a picture of the temperature on my on
my dash it was one hundred and nineteen.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Wow, that's wild. Then and you're and you're right near
the beach.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
One hundred nineteen just baking, baking.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
But you know, we were out there covering, just talking
to people who are working postal workers, construction workers, and
they're out there in the heat.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
They're trying to just drink water, stay cool.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
But there was a lot of homeless in Tarzana around
Receiva Boulevard and they were kind of just gathering under
the trees, trying to get into the shade as much
as possible and kind of helping each other out, getting
water for each other.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I mean, they were you could tell they were burning up. Tim.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
You know what, I will say this, I'm glad you
brought this up. As much as people bang on the
homeless community, they are a tight community. They constantly help
each other out and you know, give each other water
or food or shelter or whatever I heard. At night,
it gets a little squirrelly, you know, a little violent
at night, but at least during the day they have
(02:32):
that perception of always helping each other out. And I
also have to give you a compliment here. I was
watching the Kamala Harris interview with Tim Walls, and she
and Dana Bash happened to ask her or Dana Bash said, hey,
where were you when Joe Biden called you and said
(02:55):
you're now going to be the candidate for the Democratic
side for president of the United States. And this is
what Kamala Harris said. She said, I was home. I
was with my nieces and I was cooking them breakfast.
And then one of them wanted more bacon, so I
put more bacon on and the other one wanted toast,
so I put more bread in to toast it with
(03:17):
just a little butter. And one of them wanted hash browns.
And then she said, tm I, you know too much information?
And Dana Bash said yeah, no, no, she said no,
not TMI. I can never get enough information. Okay, somebody
has to tell Kabla Harris that that's not TMI. TMI
is saying something vulgar or rude or obscene or dirty
(03:40):
while you're giving information out, like for instance, here's an
example of TMI. So I went to the store the
other day, and you know, I'm picking up chips and
chicken and take.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It home and put on the barbecue.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
And then this kid asked his pants and threw up
all over the place, and the mom asked her pants,
and the cashier asked her pants. That's tm I, And right,
not giving too much information includes craziness and dirtiness and ugliness,
not just I gave bacon to my kids.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, no, tm I like the beads of sweat dripping down.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
My legs, that's right, that's tm I. Yeah, that's tm I.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Steph Bush putting his toes in the.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Freezer right close, tm I.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
But just talking about what you give your kids breakfast,
not tm I, not even close to TMI.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Are where are you heading to now? Are you still
on the clock? Are you done? No?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I'm trying to get to my kids.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
The classic is a nightmare on a Friday. I know
our news director Chris Little, he wanted me to bake today.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I know it. They had it out for me. They
sent me out there and it was so bad. Old kids,
they're eight and six.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, boy to girl, two boys.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Oh wow, all right, that's a handful. Huh.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
But we're going to try to keep cool this week,
and we're to stay in because you know, there's a
lot of advisory saying to keep the kids out of
the heat, the elderly, the pets, and you know.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
So we want to we want to play it safe
this week. We're going to stay in.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You got good kids. Are they crazy?
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Well?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I got a call about every day this week about
something happening, so I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Oh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Boys are tough. Boys are tough when they're younger. They
get much easier when they're older, and girls are the opposite.
Girls are very easy early on and then you know
as they get older.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, I was trying to kill each other.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Jim, that is cool.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I didn't know you had kids. Congratulations. I think that's terrific.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That is really cool. You're a good mom. You're a
working mom.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You're working your ass off, and I think we should
all clear the freeway so Chris Adler can get home
to her kids.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
What freeway do you need? Cleared. I'll clear it for you.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I need the ninety one ninety one west the Angels reports.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, ooh done, Okay, I appreciate you coming on. Thanks, thanks, Chris. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
All right, there she goes Chris Adler.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
She uses tm I correctly sweating down her back? Did
she say sweating down her what'd she say her thighs
or her back or sweating down her back of her leg?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Tm I, tm I not I gave bacon to my kids.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
That's not tm I. That's not even close.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Somebody's got to tell that to Kamala Harris. That's not TMI.
She's misusing that term.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
All right, we're live.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
When we come back, I got to make an apology.
I don't like to I don't like doing it. I
do it maybe once every three or four years. This
one is a company. He ordered one company ordered this
one up. So I got to come back and read
the apology and tell you what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
What happened, you know, buddy, I don't know you're gonna know.
All right. I don't do it very often.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I try to fight these, but this one got a
little squirrely out of me.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So what can I do?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You know, if you're not, if you're not getting suspended
or fired in radio, you're not pushing the envelope. Oops, croajer,
don't give you that crap. You've been talked to about
stuff you said on the air. I know you, buddy,
you know what. But look if you didn't, if you
weren't talked to about stuff you did on the air,
(07:18):
then they'd be like, who cares? You know, who cares?
So I got to come back and apologize. And it's
not going to just be sorry. It's forgiven. It's not permission.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I guess I gotta read this all right. I know, Belly,
I know, I know she has not to prolong it.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Remember the early days of COVID.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I remember being in Target when the store's finally opened
and a woman was paying for her stuff with a
credit card, and the credit card wasn't working. So the
cashier said, oh, let me try it, and took the
credit card and slid it through, and the woman who
owned the credit card, the shopper, flip the f out, you.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Touch my credit card. Now we're all gonna get COVID
all my kids are gonna die. I live with my
mom and dad.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
They're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I can't blame She threw an s fit, an absolute fit,
and man, that was a scary time. Do you remember
casually in the very early days, I know, I know, Belly,
I'm gonna get to the apology. Hold on, but do
you remember the early days of COVID where you casually
walk around with your shopping cart before the shutdown, before
the lockdown, and you walk around the shopping you know,
(08:31):
you walk around the grocery store and you're like, Okay,
I'll I'll eat all these pickles, vinegary, I'll have vinegar,
frozen pizza bites.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
You.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I'll take that oatmeal, Yeah, I'll buy that. And you
just wanted to casually pretend like you're shopping for all
that stuff. But you saw everything flying off the shelf
and you wanted to get food because you thought everyone
was gonna die of starvation, and you bought a cart
full of food. You never ate, You never ate any
of it. It's just all that crap you didn't like. Okay,
(09:04):
here's the apology. There's a guy in sales. His name
is Phil.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
He's a great.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Guy, but he thought I took a shot at him
and it created a little bit of turmoil here at KFI.
So Phil, I apologize. I didn't mean to do this.
If it came off that way, I honestly got I
didn't mean it. I thought we were having fun with it,
and I apologize. Did this happened. I'm going to play
(09:30):
you what happened as part of the apology. But about
three or four weeks ago during one of our high
speed chases. You know, we have a lot of companies
that are great companies that advertise you're on KFI. You know,
I mean just looking at the book that you know,
the live reads we do, like you know, Advanced Hair,
American Vision Windows, Maronco, Revive real Estate, Saddleback Sweet James
(09:54):
is another one. There's some more here. I think that's
it for a but we have you know, Cars for
Kids is another one. And we have a lot of
great advertisers on the station. If it wasn't for them,
we'd all be at home right now and you'd be
listening to something else. We have the best advertisers in
the world, the greatest salespeople in the world who work
(10:14):
you're a KFI. Okay, that being said about three weeks
four weeks ago. I like to mention every once in
a while, like to mention our advertisers during the show,
just to give him a free plug. You know, it's
sort of like a buyback when you're in a bar.
If you ever go to a bar and you're a
regular at a bar, occasionally the bartender will say, this
one's on me, and you'll give you a free glass
of wine or a beer or whatever. That's called a buyback. Well,
(10:37):
this is my version of a buyback. I mentioned Valveline
during a high speed chase about a month ago, and
this is what it sounded like on KFI.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It's Conway Show Turn on channel four.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
We got to sells a high speed chase. Dig door
with these chases possible tuy r duy driver get too
many beers and now he's fleeing. The cops started in
sand burned, you know, and this guy's flying. Hey, but
now the cops are starting to back off him.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Look at that. You see that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I call that Valveelene time. Yeah, there's enough space between
him and the cops. Now we can slide in for
an oil change, think dog with that Valveline. We continue
on the one ten south that looks like here. Okay,
I just simply mentioned Valvelene as a buyback. So this
guy named Phil I text me. He says, hey, great job.
(11:30):
I love that you mentioned Valvelene. Next time, can you
hit it just a little more? And I said geez,
And I said yeah I can. And then about a
week later there was another chase and it sounded like this,
and he thought I was making fun of him or
taking a shot at him. And he thinks I overdid
(11:52):
it with the mentions. Here's what started the turmoil here
at KFI. It's conway here, Sam Bernardino, turn on channel four.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
We got herself a high speed chase.

said I overdid it.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
He should be happy with that, I.

And I said I get that. I get that, but
I really do take my cars there. I go to

the best cities in the country for you to retire

the dough to live in California. You can I when

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Steve Gregory joins us here on KFI.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's nice to see you, good body.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Before we get into what you've come on to promote
or talk about power outages all over the place.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Yeah, you know when you have you know, Water and
Power now reporting at least eighty outages with more than
eighty eight hundred customers without power right now across the city.
In La LEDWP reporting now that they are experiencing hundreds
of customers there, seven hundred Silmar residents look at it.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
And also Pacoima.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
YEP and Sokyle Edison reporting dozens of power outages affecting
thirty six hundred people in La County.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Well, let's go through them here in west Lake, the
west Lake area downtown Los Angeles's twenty and eighty seven
people without our homes without power up in Silmar. We
talked about that, seven hundred nineteen customers without power there,
and then we also have another one in Echo Park,
six hundred and thirty nine customers without power, and they're
(16:08):
working on all of these Highland Park, five hundred and
five customers are reporting power outages. And then closer to
Burbank here in the San Fernando Valley in North Hollywood,
eleven hundred customers without the use of their air conditioning.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
That is a lot.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
This is why, and I don't want to jinx it,
but this is why I like living in Burbank. Yeah,
Burbank does keep the lights on. Burbank has an independent
power grade and water source, and I really like that.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Also, Exposition Park three thousand customers without power. The estimated
time is twenty one thirty What is that, seven thirty
twenty eight thirty. Yeah, alright, I forgot Bellio. You're a
military braath just always remember eighteen hundred and six PM.
(17:00):
He can just go from there.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Thank you. Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Then we also have another power outage here in Windsor Hills,
one thousand homes without power there, and then another one
on the west side in chevy At Hills, three hundred
and ninety seven customers without power.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
So this is a big deal. This is a huge deal.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And then outside the city of Los Angeles, man, we
got power outages everywhere. There's one near Elmonte, there's one
near downtown Long Beach. There's another one here in Santa Ana,
Santa Monica, there's another one there. And then if you
go out of Lancaster, Lancaster Palmdale, they have one, two, three,
four five outages out there. And Santa Clarita has twenty
(17:45):
nine homes without power or no, twenty nine different power outages.
So there's power out everywhere you eat, stay and play.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
And I love the fact that, you know, we have
a state legislature that is pushing us to one EV. Yeah,
some more electrics go. Electricity is gonna be cute. And
remember last year. Remember last summer when we had high
heat and there were rolling blackouts and brownouts yea, and
the EV cars were classified as non essential, so they
(18:13):
were Remember the governor said, uh, don't charge your cars.
We need the we need the power.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Another one just came in Granada Hills, one hundred and
sixty people without power. And another one just came in. Man,
these are popping up all over the place. Two hundred
and sixty eight customers in. Another one in North Hollywood.
Right there's I forgot to tell you about this.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
You know, there's a disaster expo that has been going
on down at the conventions all really, yeah, every every
conceivable disaster representative people that rock you know what I meant,
people who talk about the different disasters are all gathered
at the convention center in downtown LA talking about earthquakes
and floods and heat and.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
All that stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
And another one just popped up, an Eagle Rock seven
and seventy one customers crews are working on it nineteen
hundred hours, so that's seven o'clock, seven o'clock, seven o'clock
that's due to come back online. And I can't believe
of the power outages. They're all over the place. There's
another one here? Where is this one?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Look, at least San Pedro is cool. Everything down south
from Los Angeles all the way to San Pedro is cool.
But there's a lot of them popping up in the
San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
And a lot of those. Remember a lot of that
happens like Domino's. Yeah, and then especially like if a
transformer explodes or pops have you ever heard or seen
one in these huge Oh my god, it it scares you.
And then when that happens, then it usually is a
chain reaction and it shuts other things down, and then
if the grid isn't structured right or routed right, another
(19:45):
transformer or another power station could get overloaded and that's
what causes then the other like when you because you
keep seeing they keep popping up. Yeah, that's what's happening.
There's a chain reaction Lake Balboa. Another one just popped up.
Three hundred and two customers without power in Lake Balboa,
Woodland Hills six hundred and thirty eight customers without power
(20:07):
that's not due to come back on. Well, they're closed
about an hour from now. So power outages everywhere.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
If you want to look to see maybe you have
parents or grandma or grandpa, you can go to LADWP
dot com slash outages and check if they're at the
City of Los Angeles, or you can go to sc
dot com slash outage and see what the outages are there.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
All right, Steve, you have a show coming up?
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Humh Yeah, we have Unsolved tomorrow night, and we're working
on some new episodes coming up soon. And because all
of our efforts have been on Studio six forty, what
does that tell us about Studio six forty. That's the
show that started in July where we use three different
college journalists every week. Student journalists come in every week
(20:54):
to talk about the top stories that have happened in
the previous seven days and what.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Are some of the top stories kids.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Well, today we taped and we started out with the
school shooting in Georgia. And what I do is I
pose the questions to these students. It's like, Okay, how
do you look at this as a student journalist? Where's
the story for you? What is the story? And one
of the students went immediately into the banning of assault
(21:20):
rifles angle, while another one said, well, maybe we you know,
I would have my reporters talk about how to keep
your weapons safe at home. And then we talked about
the responsibility parents have it and we talked about that
kind of issues. Then we did Hunter Biden and the
Plea Deal this week, and then we ended with Heat
and the Wildfire and that comes on Sunday, Sunday at
(21:42):
two pm. And is that going to be a new
show this Sunday? Yeah, every Sunday we do an we
tape on Friday afternoons. So this afternoon we taped and
then it'll air on Sunday at.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Two You know, I heard this over the last week
or so, I heard people in Georgia with that where
that school got shot up, and a lot of people
said many people said they were shocked that it happened
at their high school. I have the exact opposite opinion.
I'm shocked that it didn't happen when it doesn't happen
(22:14):
at a school that I know of where my daughter
is going. Well, when I look around at those kids
going to you know, these high school kids, eyeball them,
and I think, man, there's a lot of kids there
that could get crazy. Let me give you a frightening
stat The last time I was doing stories with the
La County Department of Mental Health, they have that School
Threat Assessment Response Team or START for short. I remember that,
(22:36):
and it started after the Sandy Hook shooting, and so
I was down there. You know, I've been doing that
series of stories on all of those issues and how
these counselors and these clinicians are looking after these school threats.
At that time that I was doing it, there were
forty credible school threats of violence, including shooting and violence
(22:58):
to onesel or violence to others.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
In just that one month period. There were forty credible
threats in the LA Unified School District's wild and as
we speak, there are school threats that these clinicians are
trying to intervene on.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And this kid, this cult Gray is that the kid's name.
He was on the FBI's side, but.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Well radar because of some anonymous tips that had come in.
But when they went out or they notified the local authorities,
and the local authorities went out and did their what
they said that was their due diligence, but they determined
that there was no probable cause to take any action
and that Georgia does not have a red flag law
down there was that right like most of the states,
(23:39):
so they don't have much. There's not many teeth in
their laws down there to stop somebody.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right, he was bullied and a lot of people kept
calling him gay, and that was one of the things
that that popped up as evident.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I think school bullying is one of the biggest triggers
for school violence, you.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Know, but see it's weird.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I think school bullying still goes on in outside of
big cities, like for instance, at my daughter's school in Burbank.
She said she went there for four years and she
never saw bullying at all. I think they have it
in some bigger schools where there's bigger cities, where the
population you know, is a little more you know, understanding
(24:22):
of different lifestyles. I don't think anybody bullies anybody at
these local schools. Maybe I'm you know, on the moon here,
but being gay in Los Angeles is not a big deal.
Being gay, you know, one hundred miles outside of Atlanta
might still be a big deal.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Well that, But I also would think that today's youth
is a little more educated on school bullying than you
and I were, sure because you and I are the
same age, and I remember that bullying was pretty much
a standard right of passage in high school. But nowadays
you've got students that actually step in and stop it.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
So that's good. All right.
Speaker 1 (24:55):

You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Well, there are power outages all over southern California and
some of the bigger ones are massive, and we were
talking about with Steve Gregory. Some of the larger ones
are in the city of Los Angeles with DWP. The
Valley has their share from a big one out in
Woodland Hills that they're trying to get the power restored.
(25:51):
Out in Pacoima, there's another big one. You might be
experiencing one yourself. That's quite possible. But they're all over
the place, and that's with LA Department of Water and Power,
and then with Southern California Edison there's a bunch of
them as well. So they're trying to get to everybody.
(26:12):
They just don't have enough guys and enough trucks. So
hold on, they'll get to you. They will get to you.
Over this Thanksgiving, my wife and my daughter and I
have decided to go up to Oregon for Thanksgiving. I
was talking to Steve Gregory. He's going to be going
to see his dad in Colorado for Thanksgiving, and then
(26:35):
he asked me. He says, hey, have you ever been
to Colorado? I said, Oh, I love Colorado. You know,
I've been to Denver a bunch of times. I've been
to Grand Junction. I've been to Steamboat Springs. My brother
lives up or used to live up there, and my
mom used to live in Durango. And he said, oh,
Durango is one of those beautiful cities in the world.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
And it is.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It's an old western town, beautiful people, great part of
the of the state, sort of near four corners, and
it's just a great hang It's called Durango, Colorado, and
it's fairly close to where the four states meet, you know, Utah, Arizona,
New Mexico, and Colorado. And when I went with my mom,
(27:19):
and I was staying with my mom for a couple
months because I wanted to try to, you know, vibe
with her. And my mom and I had on again,
off again relationship. So I went to live with her
for I was only gonna be there for three weeks,
end up saying about six weeks and had a great time.
But I will tell you, I'll tell you the story.
I've total on the air before, So I have you
heard that they can, you know, grab a cigarette or
(27:40):
two or whatever you do, just take the edge off.
But I was staying with my mom in Durango, Colorado,
and she made a couple of friends. My mom is
the type of woman that can go to any city
in the world and she can have twenty five friends
in a week. She will talk to anybody. She relates
to everybody. She plays bridge, she you know, does karaoke,
(28:02):
She drank, she line dances, She.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Gets out there. She gets out there everywhere she goes.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
She makes friends everywhere we went, and people when they
meet my mom, they felt after talking to her for
five minutes like they've known her their entire lives. That's
the kind of skill she had socially. Her social skills
were unmatched by anybody ever met my life.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Anybody I will say that about her. So I'm staying
with my mom.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
It's late October, it gets into November, and then she
says to me, Hey, she says, next week for Thanksgiving,
we're going out to Roy and I don't know beth Anne.
I believe it is their name, beth Anne and Roy's house.
And she said it's about an hour drive away. And
I said, she said, you want to go and I
said yeah. I said, you know, it's Thanksgiving. What am
(28:51):
I gonna do sit home alone? I said, when family
gets together, I'd love to go. And so we're driving
out before we left for Thanksgiving, she said, what are
you gonna wear them?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
And I said, I don't know. She goes, please.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Don't wear a T shirt and jeans and tennis shoes.
Please put something on. I said, okay. So I didn't
have any slacks, but I went down to the local
store and I bought pants, dress pants. I bought a
dress shirt, nice belt, nice shoes. Now I look decent,
you know, I look like I was dressed up or
ready to go to church. And so we get in
the car and it's an hour drive to beth Anne
(29:26):
and I don't know Roy's house or I can't remember
the people's name, and so we're driving in the car
there and she said, hey, can I ask you a favor?
I said, sure, mom, we got an hour, you know
to drive in front of us.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
What would you like? And she said, can I ask
you to please behave today?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Look I was I was forty five at the time,
I wasn't thirteen. And I said, what do you mean,
And she goes, well, I really prefer that you don't
don't clap. You know, you always clap and it's loud
and it's ear piercing. Understand how irritating that is to
a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I said, okay, I.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Won't do that, and she said, also, please don't smoke.
I was smoking bat them. She goes, don't smoke. You
always smoke. Stop smoking, And don't smoke at their house.
I said, I said, ma, what do you think I
was going to do? You think I was gonna at
the Thanksgiving table? Were twenty people at the same table.
I was going to light up a cigarette in their house.
(30:24):
And she goes, I don't know about you. I'm not
sure ever about you. She said, to say that a lot,
I'm not sure about you. So I said, okay, I
won't smoke, and she goes, and don't drink. I said, okay,
I won't have a beer. I don't have wine or anything.
I won't drink it all. And she also said, and
don't make fun of their home were they live at
a mobile home. Don't make fun of it. Don't say, oh,
it's got wheels underneath. I've never had a Thanksgiving with
(30:45):
wheels underneath.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
The table, don't you do? It is all your bid?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yeah, she don't run down that. Don't run them down
like that. I said, okay. And she said, also, I,
you know, don't swear. You're always swearing. I said, okay,
I won't swear. And she said, and offer to help,
you know, help with setting the table, offer to help
carving the turkey or serving. And she said, and when
dinner is done, you know, don't stand near the door
(31:10):
looking at your watch and dangling your keys like you
want to get the f out of there. She knows you,
Yeah she does. She said, you know, just sit on
the couch. If they're watching a sporting event, watch the
sporting event. Don't clap, don't yell, don't cheer, don't say
you have money on it.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Don't say you have money on it. And I said okay.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
And she said, and then also help with cleaning up,
you know, help with the dishes. Offer to help. So
I went to thank that Thanksgiving and I was a chap.
I did everything she wanted. I was cordial. I told,
you know, interesting stories, but not loud. Anytime they want
to talk about my dad and about about show business,
(31:48):
I answered, every one of those questions. I complimented on
them on their house. They had a beautiful home. I
help with the dishes, I helped serve pie and ice cream.
At the end, I helped in one of the older
woman who is in a wheelchair. I helped her up
to the table and they helped her back in her chair.
And then at the end of the night, the woman
who owns the home said to my mom. She said,
(32:12):
Mary Anne, you've got a beautiful son here. Ah, you
raised a beautiful, beautiful son. You folks are welcome back
in this home any time you want.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
She said, I can't believe how well behaved this young
man is. And I was ten feet tall. I left
there proud as can be. I impressed everybody was. I
impressed everybody in that room, everybody in that house. So
we're driving home, and my mom's quiet, and she's never quiet.
(32:45):
Redbird doesn't know quiet, Big Mac doesn't know quiet, but
the redbird's quiet, which means trouble. So I said to her,
I said, Mam, can I ask you something? She said, yeah, yeah, Ynne.
I said you okay, and she said, she goes, yeah, yeah,
I'm okay. I said, ma, I've known you forty five years.
(33:08):
Something's going on? What's going on with you? And she said, well,
can I tell you something? I said, yeah, sure, and
then she says to me, you didn't seem like yourself
to that.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Push her out of that car while we were going
sixty five and just look in the rear view mirror
and watch her do somersaults cartwheels.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I couldn't thing believe it.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Did you say anything to her? It's like I did
exactly what you asked of me.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I lit up a cigarette, shut all the windows and
drove home, dropped her off.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
And then went to a bar. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Stop when you dropped her off, just barely slow down.
I did stop the car and I go get out.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Because why what did I say? Get out? And then
I took off allright? Rely on KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Forty Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now
you can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime
on demand on the iHeartRadio app
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's hot out and I was outside watering and I
hit my the hose with the I hit a beehive
and I got stung in the mouth and hurts like hell.
(00:21):
So I apologize. I'm trying to cover it. I'm trying
to get through it, but it hurts like hell. All Right,
we have Chris on with us, Chris Adler. I believe
Chris Adler issues with k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I right, yes, yes, Chris Adler.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
How are you well?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I hope so, yes, ding dong with you? Chris. All right,
so you you.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Come on to talk about Yeah, yeah, a very popular
topic right now. I heard Moe Kelly talking about it
last night. I heard John Colebell talk about today, and
Gary and Shannon both mentioned it, and Bill Handle talked
about it as well. And that is the heat, right, you.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Know what tim I was. I started the day in
Venice Beach. I was interviewing the homeless people on the
boardwalk and this it was about at that time eleven twelve,
and it was about ninety five degrees I think, and
even in Venice Beach. I could feel the beads of
sweat dripping down my back, down my leg.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
God, TMI, yeah, but it was so hot. Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Then I get to Woodland Hills in Tarzana area and
I took a picture of the temperature on my on
my dash it was one hundred and nineteen.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Wow, that's wild. Then and you're and you're right near
the beach.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
One hundred nineteen just baking, baking.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
But you know, we were out there covering, just talking
to people who are working postal workers, construction workers, and
they're out there in the heat.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
They're trying to just drink water, stay cool.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
But there was a lot of homeless in Tarzana around
Receiva Boulevard and they were kind of just gathering under
the trees, trying to get into the shade as much
as possible and kind of helping each other out, getting
water for each other.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I mean, they were you could tell they were burning up. Tim.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
You know what, I will say this, I'm glad you
brought this up. As much as people bang on the
homeless community, they are a tight community. They constantly help
each other out and you know, give each other water
or food or shelter or whatever I heard. At night,
it gets a little squirrelly, you know, a little violent
at night, but at least during the day they have
(02:32):
that perception of always helping each other out. And I
also have to give you a compliment here. I was
watching the Kamala Harris interview with Tim Walls, and she
and Dana Bash happened to ask her or Dana Bash said, hey,
where were you when Joe Biden called you and said
(02:55):
you're now going to be the candidate for the Democratic
side for president of the United States. And this is
what Kamala Harris said. She said, I was home. I
was with my nieces and I was cooking them breakfast.
And then one of them wanted more bacon, so I
put more bacon on and the other one wanted toast,
so I put more bread in to toast it with
(03:17):
just a little butter. And one of them wanted hash browns.
And then she said, tm I, you know too much information?
And Dana Bash said yeah, no, no, she said no,
not TMI. I can never get enough information. Okay, somebody
has to tell Kabla Harris that that's not TMI. TMI
is saying something vulgar or rude or obscene or dirty
(03:40):
while you're giving information out, like for instance, here's an
example of TMI. So I went to the store the
other day, and you know, I'm picking up chips and
chicken and take.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It home and put on the barbecue.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
And then this kid asked his pants and threw up
all over the place, and the mom asked her pants,
and the cashier asked her pants. That's tm I, And right,
not giving too much information includes craziness and dirtiness and ugliness,
not just I gave bacon to my kids.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, no, tm I like the beads of sweat dripping down.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
My legs, that's right, that's tm I. Yeah, that's tm I.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Steph Bush putting his toes in the.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Freezer right close, tm I.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
But just talking about what you give your kids breakfast,
not tm I, not even close to TMI.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Are where are you heading to now? Are you still
on the clock? Are you done? No?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I'm trying to get to my kids.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
The classic is a nightmare on a Friday. I know
our news director Chris Little, he wanted me to bake today.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I know it. They had it out for me. They
sent me out there and it was so bad. Old kids,
they're eight and six.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, boy to girl, two boys.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Oh wow, all right, that's a handful. Huh.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
But we're going to try to keep cool this week,
and we're to stay in because you know, there's a
lot of advisory saying to keep the kids out of
the heat, the elderly, the pets, and you know.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
So we want to we want to play it safe
this week. We're going to stay in.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You got good kids. Are they crazy?
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Well?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I got a call about every day this week about
something happening, so I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Oh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Boys are tough. Boys are tough when they're younger. They
get much easier when they're older, and girls are the opposite.
Girls are very easy early on and then you know
as they get older.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, I was trying to kill each other.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Jim, that is cool.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I didn't know you had kids. Congratulations. I think that's terrific.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That is really cool. You're a good mom. You're a
working mom.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You're working your ass off, and I think we should
all clear the freeway so Chris Adler can get home
to her kids.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
What freeway do you need? Cleared. I'll clear it for you.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I need the ninety one ninety one west the Angels reports.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, ooh done, Okay, I appreciate you coming on. Thanks, thanks, Chris. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
All right, there she goes Chris Adler.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
She uses tm I correctly sweating down her back? Did
she say sweating down her what'd she say her thighs
or her back or sweating down her back of her leg?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Tm I, tm I not I gave bacon to my kids.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
That's not tm I. That's not even close.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Somebody's got to tell that to Kamala Harris. That's not TMI.
She's misusing that term.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
All right, we're live.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
When we come back, I got to make an apology.
I don't like to I don't like doing it. I
do it maybe once every three or four years. This
one is a company. He ordered one company ordered this
one up. So I got to come back and read
the apology and tell you what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
What happened, you know, buddy, I don't know you're gonna know.
All right. I don't do it very often.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I try to fight these, but this one got a
little squirrely out of me.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So what can I do?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You know, if you're not, if you're not getting suspended
or fired in radio, you're not pushing the envelope. Oops, croajer,
don't give you that crap. You've been talked to about
stuff you said on the air. I know you, buddy,
you know what. But look if you didn't, if you
weren't talked to about stuff you did on the air,
(07:18):
then they'd be like, who cares? You know, who cares?
So I got to come back and apologize. And it's
not going to just be sorry. It's forgiven. It's not permission.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I guess I gotta read this all right. I know, Belly,
I know, I know she has not to prolong it.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Remember the early days of COVID.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I remember being in Target when the store's finally opened
and a woman was paying for her stuff with a
credit card, and the credit card wasn't working. So the
cashier said, oh, let me try it, and took the
credit card and slid it through, and the woman who
owned the credit card, the shopper, flip the f out, you.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Touch my credit card. Now we're all gonna get COVID
all my kids are gonna die. I live with my
mom and dad.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
They're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I can't blame She threw an s fit, an absolute fit,
and man, that was a scary time. Do you remember
casually in the very early days, I know, I know, Belly,
I'm gonna get to the apology. Hold on, but do
you remember the early days of COVID where you casually
walk around with your shopping cart before the shutdown, before
the lockdown, and you walk around the shopping you know,
(08:31):
you walk around the grocery store and you're like, Okay,
I'll I'll eat all these pickles, vinegary, I'll have vinegar,
frozen pizza bites.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
You.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I'll take that oatmeal, Yeah, I'll buy that. And you
just wanted to casually pretend like you're shopping for all
that stuff. But you saw everything flying off the shelf
and you wanted to get food because you thought everyone
was gonna die of starvation, and you bought a cart
full of food. You never ate, You never ate any
of it. It's just all that crap you didn't like. Okay,
(09:04):
here's the apology. There's a guy in sales. His name
is Phil.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
He's a great.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Guy, but he thought I took a shot at him
and it created a little bit of turmoil here at KFI.
So Phil, I apologize. I didn't mean to do this.
If it came off that way, I honestly got I
didn't mean it. I thought we were having fun with it,
and I apologize. Did this happened. I'm going to play
(09:30):
you what happened as part of the apology. But about
three or four weeks ago during one of our high
speed chases. You know, we have a lot of companies
that are great companies that advertise you're on KFI. You know,
I mean just looking at the book that you know,
the live reads we do, like you know, Advanced Hair,
American Vision Windows, Maronco, Revive real Estate, Saddleback Sweet James
(09:54):
is another one. There's some more here. I think that's
it for a but we have you know, Cars for
Kids is another one. And we have a lot of
great advertisers on the station. If it wasn't for them,
we'd all be at home right now and you'd be
listening to something else. We have the best advertisers in
the world, the greatest salespeople in the world who work
(10:14):
you're a KFI. Okay, that being said about three weeks
four weeks ago. I like to mention every once in
a while, like to mention our advertisers during the show,
just to give him a free plug. You know, it's
sort of like a buyback when you're in a bar.
If you ever go to a bar and you're a
regular at a bar, occasionally the bartender will say, this
one's on me, and you'll give you a free glass
of wine or a beer or whatever. That's called a buyback. Well,
(10:37):
this is my version of a buyback. I mentioned Valveline
during a high speed chase about a month ago, and
this is what it sounded like on KFI.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It's Conway Show Turn on channel four.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
We got to sells a high speed chase. Dig door
with these chases possible tuy r duy driver get too
many beers and now he's fleeing. The cops started in
sand burned, you know, and this guy's flying. Hey, but
now the cops are starting to back off him.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Look at that. You see that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I call that Valveelene time. Yeah, there's enough space between
him and the cops. Now we can slide in for
an oil change, think dog with that Valveline. We continue
on the one ten south that looks like here. Okay,
I just simply mentioned Valvelene as a buyback. So this
guy named Phil I text me. He says, hey, great job.
(11:30):
I love that you mentioned Valvelene. Next time, can you
hit it just a little more? And I said geez,
And I said yeah I can. And then about a
week later there was another chase and it sounded like this,
and he thought I was making fun of him or
taking a shot at him. And he thinks I overdid
(11:52):
it with the mentions. Here's what started the turmoil here
at KFI. It's conway here, Sam Bernardino, turn on channel four.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
We got herself a high speed chase.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (12:11):

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Steve Gregory joins us here on KFI.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's nice to see you, good body.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Before we get into what you've come on to promote
or talk about power outages all over the place.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Yeah, you know when you have you know, Water and
Power now reporting at least eighty outages with more than
eighty eight hundred customers without power right now across the city.
In La LEDWP reporting now that they are experiencing hundreds
of customers there, seven hundred Silmar residents look at it.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
And also Pacoima.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
YEP and Sokyle Edison reporting dozens of power outages affecting
thirty six hundred people in La County.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Well, let's go through them here in west Lake, the
west Lake area downtown Los Angeles's twenty and eighty seven
people without our homes without power up in Silmar. We
talked about that, seven hundred nineteen customers without power there,
and then we also have another one in Echo Park,
six hundred and thirty nine customers without power, and they're
(16:08):
working on all of these Highland Park, five hundred and
five customers are reporting power outages. And then closer to
Burbank here in the San Fernando Valley in North Hollywood,
eleven hundred customers without the use of their air conditioning.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
That is a lot.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
This is why, and I don't want to jinx it,
but this is why I like living in Burbank. Yeah,
Burbank does keep the lights on. Burbank has an independent
power grade and water source, and I really like that.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Also, Exposition Park three thousand customers without power. The estimated
time is twenty one thirty What is that, seven thirty
twenty eight thirty. Yeah, alright, I forgot Bellio. You're a
military braath just always remember eighteen hundred and six PM.
(17:00):
He can just go from there.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Thank you. Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Then we also have another power outage here in Windsor Hills,
one thousand homes without power there, and then another one
on the west side in chevy At Hills, three hundred
and ninety seven customers without power.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
So this is a big deal. This is a huge deal.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And then outside the city of Los Angeles, man, we
got power outages everywhere. There's one near Elmonte, there's one
near downtown Long Beach. There's another one here in Santa Ana,
Santa Monica, there's another one there. And then if you
go out of Lancaster, Lancaster Palmdale, they have one, two, three,
four five outages out there. And Santa Clarita has twenty
(17:45):
nine homes without power or no, twenty nine different power outages.
So there's power out everywhere you eat, stay and play.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
And I love the fact that, you know, we have
a state legislature that is pushing us to one EV. Yeah,
some more electrics go. Electricity is gonna be cute. And
remember last year. Remember last summer when we had high
heat and there were rolling blackouts and brownouts yea, and
the EV cars were classified as non essential, so they
(18:13):
were Remember the governor said, uh, don't charge your cars.
We need the we need the power.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Another one just came in Granada Hills, one hundred and
sixty people without power. And another one just came in. Man,
these are popping up all over the place. Two hundred
and sixty eight customers in. Another one in North Hollywood.
Right there's I forgot to tell you about this.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
You know, there's a disaster expo that has been going
on down at the conventions all really, yeah, every every
conceivable disaster representative people that rock you know what I meant,
people who talk about the different disasters are all gathered
at the convention center in downtown LA talking about earthquakes
and floods and heat and.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
All that stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
And another one just popped up, an Eagle Rock seven
and seventy one customers crews are working on it nineteen
hundred hours, so that's seven o'clock, seven o'clock, seven o'clock
that's due to come back online. And I can't believe
of the power outages. They're all over the place. There's
another one here? Where is this one?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Look, at least San Pedro is cool. Everything down south
from Los Angeles all the way to San Pedro is cool.
But there's a lot of them popping up in the
San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
And a lot of those. Remember a lot of that
happens like Domino's. Yeah, and then especially like if a
transformer explodes or pops have you ever heard or seen
one in these huge Oh my god, it it scares you.
And then when that happens, then it usually is a
chain reaction and it shuts other things down, and then
if the grid isn't structured right or routed right, another
(19:45):
transformer or another power station could get overloaded and that's
what causes then the other like when you because you
keep seeing they keep popping up. Yeah, that's what's happening.
There's a chain reaction Lake Balboa. Another one just popped up.
Three hundred and two customers without power in Lake Balboa,
Woodland Hills six hundred and thirty eight customers without power
(20:07):
that's not due to come back on. Well, they're closed
about an hour from now. So power outages everywhere.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
If you want to look to see maybe you have
parents or grandma or grandpa, you can go to LADWP
dot com slash outages and check if they're at the
City of Los Angeles, or you can go to sc
dot com slash outage and see what the outages are there.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
All right, Steve, you have a show coming up?
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Humh Yeah, we have Unsolved tomorrow night, and we're working
on some new episodes coming up soon. And because all
of our efforts have been on Studio six forty, what
does that tell us about Studio six forty. That's the
show that started in July where we use three different
college journalists every week. Student journalists come in every week
(20:54):
to talk about the top stories that have happened in
the previous seven days and what.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Are some of the top stories kids.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Well, today we taped and we started out with the
school shooting in Georgia. And what I do is I
pose the questions to these students. It's like, Okay, how
do you look at this as a student journalist? Where's
the story for you? What is the story? And one
of the students went immediately into the banning of assault
(21:20):
rifles angle, while another one said, well, maybe we you know,
I would have my reporters talk about how to keep
your weapons safe at home. And then we talked about
the responsibility parents have it and we talked about that
kind of issues. Then we did Hunter Biden and the
Plea Deal this week, and then we ended with Heat
and the Wildfire and that comes on Sunday, Sunday at
(21:42):
two pm. And is that going to be a new
show this Sunday? Yeah, every Sunday we do an we
tape on Friday afternoons. So this afternoon we taped and
then it'll air on Sunday at.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Two You know, I heard this over the last week
or so, I heard people in Georgia with that where
that school got shot up, and a lot of people
said many people said they were shocked that it happened
at their high school. I have the exact opposite opinion.
I'm shocked that it didn't happen when it doesn't happen
(22:14):
at a school that I know of where my daughter
is going. Well, when I look around at those kids
going to you know, these high school kids, eyeball them,
and I think, man, there's a lot of kids there
that could get crazy. Let me give you a frightening
stat The last time I was doing stories with the
La County Department of Mental Health, they have that School
Threat Assessment Response Team or START for short. I remember that,
(22:36):
and it started after the Sandy Hook shooting, and so
I was down there. You know, I've been doing that
series of stories on all of those issues and how
these counselors and these clinicians are looking after these school threats.
At that time that I was doing it, there were
forty credible school threats of violence, including shooting and violence
(22:58):
to onesel or violence to others.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
In just that one month period. There were forty credible
threats in the LA Unified School District's wild and as
we speak, there are school threats that these clinicians are
trying to intervene on.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And this kid, this cult Gray is that the kid's name.
He was on the FBI's side, but.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Well radar because of some anonymous tips that had come in.
But when they went out or they notified the local authorities,
and the local authorities went out and did their what
they said that was their due diligence, but they determined
that there was no probable cause to take any action
and that Georgia does not have a red flag law
down there was that right like most of the states,
(23:39):
so they don't have much. There's not many teeth in
their laws down there to stop somebody.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right, he was bullied and a lot of people kept
calling him gay, and that was one of the things
that that popped up as evident.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I think school bullying is one of the biggest triggers
for school violence, you.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Know, but see it's weird.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I think school bullying still goes on in outside of
big cities, like for instance, at my daughter's school in Burbank.
She said she went there for four years and she
never saw bullying at all. I think they have it
in some bigger schools where there's bigger cities, where the
population you know, is a little more you know, understanding
(24:22):
of different lifestyles. I don't think anybody bullies anybody at
these local schools. Maybe I'm you know, on the moon here,
but being gay in Los Angeles is not a big deal.
Being gay, you know, one hundred miles outside of Atlanta
might still be a big deal.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Well that, But I also would think that today's youth
is a little more educated on school bullying than you
and I were, sure because you and I are the
same age, and I remember that bullying was pretty much
a standard right of passage in high school. But nowadays
you've got students that actually step in and stop it.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
So that's good. All right.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
So your show is Saturday at seven for seven and
then Sunday at two pm and Studio six forty. Buddy,
I can't wait. I'll be around all weekend checking you out.

AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Well, there are power outages all over southern California and
some of the bigger ones are massive, and we were
talking about with Steve Gregory. Some of the larger ones
are in the city of Los Angeles with DWP. The
Valley has their share from a big one out in
Woodland Hills that they're trying to get the power restored.
(25:51):
Out in Pacoima, there's another big one. You might be
experiencing one yourself. That's quite possible. But they're all over
the place, and that's with LA Department of Water and Power,
and then with Southern California Edison there's a bunch of
them as well. So they're trying to get to everybody.
(26:12):
They just don't have enough guys and enough trucks. So
hold on, they'll get to you. They will get to you.
Over this Thanksgiving, my wife and my daughter and I
have decided to go up to Oregon for Thanksgiving. I
was talking to Steve Gregory. He's going to be going
to see his dad in Colorado for Thanksgiving, and then
(26:35):
he asked me. He says, hey, have you ever been
to Colorado? I said, Oh, I love Colorado. You know,
I've been to Denver a bunch of times. I've been
to Grand Junction. I've been to Steamboat Springs. My brother
lives up or used to live up there, and my
mom used to live in Durango. And he said, oh,
Durango is one of those beautiful cities in the world.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
And it is.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It's an old western town, beautiful people, great part of
the of the state, sort of near four corners, and
it's just a great hang It's called Durango, Colorado, and
it's fairly close to where the four states meet, you know, Utah, Arizona,
New Mexico, and Colorado. And when I went with my mom,
(27:19):
and I was staying with my mom for a couple
months because I wanted to try to, you know, vibe
with her. And my mom and I had on again,
off again relationship. So I went to live with her
for I was only gonna be there for three weeks,
end up saying about six weeks and had a great time.
But I will tell you, I'll tell you the story.
I've total on the air before, So I have you
heard that they can, you know, grab a cigarette or
(27:40):
two or whatever you do, just take the edge off.
But I was staying with my mom in Durango, Colorado,
and she made a couple of friends. My mom is
the type of woman that can go to any city
in the world and she can have twenty five friends
in a week. She will talk to anybody. She relates
to everybody. She plays bridge, she you know, does karaoke,
(28:02):
She drank, she line dances, She.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Gets out there. She gets out there everywhere she goes.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
She makes friends everywhere we went, and people when they
meet my mom, they felt after talking to her for
five minutes like they've known her their entire lives. That's
the kind of skill she had socially. Her social skills
were unmatched by anybody ever met my life.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Anybody I will say that about her. So I'm staying
with my mom.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
It's late October, it gets into November, and then she
says to me, Hey, she says, next week for Thanksgiving,
we're going out to Roy and I don't know beth Anne.
I believe it is their name, beth Anne and Roy's house.
And she said it's about an hour drive away. And
I said, she said, you want to go and I
said yeah. I said, you know, it's Thanksgiving. What am
(28:51):
I gonna do sit home alone? I said, when family
gets together, I'd love to go. And so we're driving
out before we left for Thanksgiving, she said, what are
you gonna wear them?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
And I said, I don't know. She goes, please.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Don't wear a T shirt and jeans and tennis shoes.
Please put something on. I said, okay. So I didn't
have any slacks, but I went down to the local
store and I bought pants, dress pants. I bought a
dress shirt, nice belt, nice shoes. Now I look decent,
you know, I look like I was dressed up or
ready to go to church. And so we get in
the car and it's an hour drive to beth Anne
(29:26):
and I don't know Roy's house or I can't remember
the people's name, and so we're driving in the car
there and she said, hey, can I ask you a favor?
I said, sure, mom, we got an hour, you know
to drive in front of us.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
What would you like? And she said, can I ask
you to please behave today?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Look I was I was forty five at the time,
I wasn't thirteen. And I said, what do you mean,
And she goes, well, I really prefer that you don't
don't clap. You know, you always clap and it's loud
and it's ear piercing. Understand how irritating that is to
a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I said, okay, I.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Won't do that, and she said, also, please don't smoke.
I was smoking bat them. She goes, don't smoke. You
always smoke. Stop smoking, And don't smoke at their house.
I said, I said, ma, what do you think I
was going to do? You think I was gonna at
the Thanksgiving table? Were twenty people at the same table.
I was going to light up a cigarette in their house.
(30:24):
And she goes, I don't know about you. I'm not
sure ever about you. She said, to say that a lot,
I'm not sure about you. So I said, okay, I
won't smoke, and she goes, and don't drink. I said, okay,
I won't have a beer. I don't have wine or anything.
I won't drink it all. And she also said, and
don't make fun of their home were they live at
a mobile home. Don't make fun of it. Don't say, oh,
it's got wheels underneath. I've never had a Thanksgiving with
(30:45):
wheels underneath.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
The table, don't you do? It is all your bid?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yeah, she don't run down that. Don't run them down
like that. I said, okay. And she said, also, I,
you know, don't swear. You're always swearing. I said, okay,
I won't swear. And she said, and offer to help,
you know, help with setting the table, offer to help
carving the turkey or serving. And she said, and when
dinner is done, you know, don't stand near the door
(31:10):
looking at your watch and dangling your keys like you
want to get the f out of there. She knows you,
Yeah she does. She said, you know, just sit on
the couch. If they're watching a sporting event, watch the
sporting event. Don't clap, don't yell, don't cheer, don't say
you have money on it.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Don't say you have money on it. And I said okay.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
And she said, and then also help with cleaning up,
you know, help with the dishes. Offer to help. So
I went to thank that Thanksgiving and I was a chap.
I did everything she wanted. I was cordial. I told,
you know, interesting stories, but not loud. Anytime they want
to talk about my dad and about about show business,
(31:48):
I answered, every one of those questions. I complimented on
them on their house. They had a beautiful home. I
help with the dishes, I helped serve pie and ice cream.
At the end, I helped in one of the older
woman who is in a wheelchair. I helped her up
to the table and they helped her back in her chair.
And then at the end of the night, the woman
who owns the home said to my mom. She said,
(32:12):
Mary Anne, you've got a beautiful son here. Ah, you
raised a beautiful, beautiful son. You folks are welcome back
in this home any time you want.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
She said, I can't believe how well behaved this young
man is. And I was ten feet tall. I left
there proud as can be. I impressed everybody was. I
impressed everybody in that room, everybody in that house. So
we're driving home, and my mom's quiet, and she's never quiet.
(32:45):
Redbird doesn't know quiet, Big Mac doesn't know quiet, but
the redbird's quiet, which means trouble. So I said to her,
I said, Mam, can I ask you something? She said, yeah, yeah, Ynne.
I said you okay, and she said, she goes, yeah, yeah,
I'm okay. I said, ma, I've known you forty five years.
(33:08):
Something's going on? What's going on with you? And she said, well,
can I tell you something? I said, yeah, sure, and
then she says to me, you didn't seem like yourself
to that.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Push her out of that car while we were going
sixty five and just look in the rear view mirror
and watch her do somersaults cartwheels.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I couldn't thing believe it.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Did you say anything to her? It's like I did
exactly what you asked of me.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I lit up a cigarette, shut all the windows and
drove home, dropped her off.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
And then went to a bar. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Stop when you dropped her off, just barely slow down.
I did stop the car and I go get out.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Because why what did I say? Get out? And then
I took off allright? Rely on KFI AM six.
