Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF I am sixty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
Dodgers lost, Dodger Games over. Sorry if you recorded and
you were gonna go home and watch it. But you
know we've got it. Got to have news. You know,
you can't sit around and wait for everybody to get home. Hey,
(00:20):
so we said, we're talking about these extra toasted cheese its,
and I said, Oh, someone's gonna some guy's gonna get
this car. He's not going to market and buy this.
Then it happened, Belly, We got a picture of a
guy walking into it a grocery store and buying those
extra toasty cheese its. How great is that?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Mark?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Mark? Mark?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Because you said want some guy and so he is
going to go in and buy it because they hear
us talking about it, and he wrote and he said,
I was that guy just bought some classic.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
That's great. All right, Let's talk about the longest I
employee at Disneyland. Find out who they is.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Most people can't imagine themselves working at the same company
for sixty two years.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Wow, sixty two years.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
But when it comes to the Walt Disney Company, you
can meet Hank a mean. He is the longest standing
cast member at Disneyland Resort. Hank celebrated his sixty second
service anniversary today and holds a legendary status as the
current longest standing employee of the Walt Disney Company. One
of his fondest memories includes having lunch with Walt Disney himself.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
All Right, that's a cool brag, you know. In the
world of Braggs. Guy's ninety two years old. Ninety two
and he still shows up to work every day, ninety two.
That is wild. All right, let's talk about this parachute?
Is this everybody's talking about?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
This?
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Online video obtained by ABC seven News shows the moments
when maybe parachutists missed his landing and well I did
with a woman and a child during a Fleet Week
air show on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Everybody was like, whoa, what just happened? It's pretty crazy
if you saw it, man, it's a scary, scary video.
Speaker 7 (02:13):
We're at Rocky Moore and her daughter Sophia were standing
just feet away and shot this video. The pair says
they saw the woman being placed onto a stretcher was
what appeared to be a neck injury. Rocky Moore says,
while still scary, she's happy more people weren't injured.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
I thought he was about to hit the stoplight all
the way to the concrete zone, but I'm glad he
made it to the grass area.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Responding to the incident, in a statement to ABC seven News,
a Navy spokesperson said, quote, safety is our number one priority.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
That's right. That's with everybody, every employer, they'll say that first.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Safety is our number one priority. We cannot immediately assess
what happens. However, we will review this incident to determine
the cause. Leaving the parachute incident aside, this Fleet Week
was by and large a massive success for the city
of San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
That's right, that's exactly, except for the woman who got
her neck broken.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
We talked to several people here along the cities Embarcadero,
all of them telling us San Francisco feels very much alive.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
That's right, except for the woman with the broken neck.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Throughout the weekend, thousands of people flooded into the city
for the many sites and sounds of Fleet Week, everything
from ship tours to the always popular Blue Angels.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
The Angels they rule so the angels always put on
the best show. They always put on their best and yeah,
they're still the show.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
There are a lot of people online that think that
the only reason San Francisco has an air shows it's
a pre military operation to take that city back. You
think that's true. I don't know. Conspiracy, maybe it's out there.
It's out there, but something's got to go on with
that city. And I'll tell you why. There are a
(03:54):
lot of people live in Los Angeles now there from
San Francisco and they had to move because they didn't
want their kids, or wife, or their husband or a
signific significant other bed partner. Is that it be? Yeah, okay,
didn't doesn't. They don't want to live in that area.
They don't want to live around that kind of crime
and that kind of you know, wild atmosphere in San Francisco.
(04:16):
It's filthy, it's dangerous, and that's a bad combination. It's
so bad that it affects the San Francisco for Giants,
the San Francisco Giants. There were three major leaguers, all
free agents, that could have signed with San Francisco, and
all three of them said no to the money, a
(04:39):
lot of money because they didn't want to raise their
kids in San Francisco. So you've got to change the city.
You've got to do something about it. You've got to
do something about San Francisco. And I don't know whether
an air show is it.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
That sense of excitement also echoed by people like Stephen
Morgan Kramer, who drove in with their five children Sunday.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
For a long time, it was just it wasn't much
going on that it's really good for us to see
our city coming back to life.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
For the Kramer family, Fleet week holds a special significance with.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
There you go, all right, the Clippers are going to
pay play their very first game in this beautiful new
arena to night.
Speaker 8 (05:19):
Yeah, we are in midway up the wall here looking
down at the court. That is the new home of
the La Clippers. After years of construction and a couple
of billion dollars happening of investment here now the Intuit
Dome is ready for basketball. This is Gilliam Zucker, She's
the president of Basketball operator. To be here, I mean,
(05:40):
looking at this thing, can you believe this was a
vacant lot.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
At what for?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I can't believe it. I can't believe that We're finally here.
The court is down. All we need or the fans
to come and enjoy this incredible place.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
And the fans are going to fill that place. And
to be on the wall, which is on one end
of I don't know whether it's the south end or
north end, whatever it is, but to be on the
wall there, to be behind the basket, you have to
be a huge Clippers fan, and they will test you. Crozer,
you could make it. You could make it. You're a
big Clippers fan. I think so, yeah, but I couldn't.
(06:12):
I've never been to a Clippers again in my life.
What that's right?
Speaker 9 (06:16):
Seriously, you've never been to a Clippers game.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
That's one hundred percent correct. There's so much more room
to move. I know. I remember when they played at
the Sports Arena, how filthy it was down there, and
it was kind of a dangerous hangs. I didn't run
him down there. But I'd like to see this new stadium.
Oh yeah, it looks fantastic, really does. And every seat
looks great. Every seat's unbelievable. The food's great, and they
(06:41):
always talk about the toilets.
Speaker 9 (06:42):
Got like chargers on each seat, yes, seat for your phone.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And the one thing that when Steve Bomber gives a
tour to people, he always talks about the toilets. Okay,
all right, I get that, but I've never used a
toilet at an arena ever in my life. What ever, No,
I'm telling you the truth. I mean you, I've used
a urinal, but I've never used a toilet. You know,
(07:07):
I don't. I don't. I don't go to a game
and you know and hit it and I don't do that.
I think that maybe an emergency, as you do, and
you got to I don't know a guy who goes
to the game and you know, bangs one out.
Speaker 9 (07:22):
Oh yeah, Well, I mean I've used the toilet, but
because the urinals were fun.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Okay, then you didn't use it. You didn't use it proper.
I've never sat intended purpose. I've never sat a spell
at a game. I might be with you on that. Yeah,
I think there's so much action in there to you know,
bring out a la times and uh, relax. I don't
(07:47):
know who does that.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
I mean, we've been with this from beginning to end,
and this is really something different, This is unique.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
And then and then we'll stop talking about this because
I know you know you don't like it, but every
time you do see a guy in there who is
you know, dropping the dus, he always sounds like he's struggling.
You know, it's it's an emergency in his case. Nobody
(08:15):
does that unless it's a wild emergency.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
Steve Palmer's vision of a fan centric experience absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Steve had a lot of big ideas. We took a
bunch of risks. I think a lot of them. You know,
we're starting to see them in action, and tonight will
be testing a few for preseason as we get ready
for October twenty third when we face the Suns. But
fans will have a chance to see some of the
unique features.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Of you know, the crozier this stadium might put the
Clippers might leap the frog, the Clippers over Lakers on
the hot ticket in town.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
I think it's quite possible, at least initially.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, exactly. How about when the when the Lakers play
the Clippers in the into it Dot, That's gonna be
a hell of a game.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
The seating bowl, we have led lights in every seat.
You can charge your phone in every seat. We have
some games that you can.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
Play, and in game consoles in every seat.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Exactly. Yeah, so we have game controllers. They're in every
arm rasted, but then we have all sorts of games.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
Let's take a little quick walk over here and show
you this this direction over here, and if you come
over here, you can see these little controllers are at
every seat. And you know what, I was thinking to myself, Okay,
this is unique. But then I remember Steve Balmer is
responsible for the Xbox, so that's why this is here.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I didn't know that. Wait, Steve Bomber created the Xbox. Well,
I guess Microsoft, y, So.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Then I remember Steve Balmer is responsible for the Xbox,
so that's why this is here.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
That's exactly right. And I think one of the things
that's most unique about it is after we put.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
These in, did you hear the story about Steve Bomber
that he was he was working for him, and I
think it was in advertising at a big company like
you know, like Procter and Gamble or something, and he
was selling or maybe Betty Crocker and he was selling
cake mix and you know, you call the store, hey,
(10:01):
we get you know, a thousand bockses you want them
to know? Yeah, okay, whatever. And he was friends with
Bill Gates, and Bill Gates called him out of blue
and said, hey, I need a pr guy. I need
a guy to really help me out with this Microsoft.
Can you show up? Can you come work for me?
And initially Steve Bomber said no, and then Bill Gates
convinced him to come to the company because he offered
(10:23):
him nine percent of the company. Steve Bomber owns nine
percent of Microsoft. Nine percent. That's unbelievable, you know. That's
that's how you make two hundred billion dollars nine percent
of a company like that. Don't do anything else, No,
you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
He wanted everybody to be able to play the games
in real time, so we also added in a real
time gaming engine into the board itself, which allows us
to do all sorts of unique things with content as well.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
All right, in this area where we're standing right now,
let's walk back over this direction. This is the wall.
As we've discussed, this is a speciall place for Clippers
fans only.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
That's right, the wall. You gotta be a huge Clippers
fan to be on the wall.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
You're not gonna let opposing team fans come even Siver.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, I mean this is all about uh, we'll come back.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
This is a big deal. This new stadium is opening
tonight for preseason, but tonight is your first opportunity to
see a game in the Into It Dome. So maybe
you're leaving Dodger Stadium and you're going over to the
Into a Dome Dodger game by day, Clipper game at night.
I know some people are doing that.
Speaker 10 (11:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
This is a big story with this Into It Dome
opening up this new arena, because how many new arenas
are we gonna have in Los Angeles for the rest
of our lives. There's not gonna be another one for
the Clippers. I don't know, maybe fifty years from now,
forty years from now. There's not gonna be a new
one for the Rams or the Chargers. I think the
next newest one, there's not gonna be a new Dodger
(11:56):
Stadium that'll be there forever. I think the next newest
one might maybe the Lakers, And I predict that the
Lakers move into the Into It dumb That's my prediction.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I bet not.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I think Steve Bomber is going to make a deal.
If the Lakers find their way back to Inglewood and
they playing the Into It dumb why wouldn't they all.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Right, they wanted their own arena they did.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, all right, well they got it. They did not
like sharing. Okay, all right, I get done. And it's
it's spectacular. Everybody has seen it, says it's unreal. But
I remember, you know, I don't think we We've had
two new stadiums, well three, the soccer stadium downtown. Three
(12:45):
new stadiums in the last ten years, brand new ones,
and we're not going to see another baseball stadium ever.
Maybe in our lives, maybe some improvements, but not a
new one. I think Dodger Stadium will be there forever.
Everybody loves Dodger Stadium. It'd be silly to tear it
down and rebuild it. Silly, And we're not going to.
(13:06):
You know, we might see I don't know. Maybe Crypto
might change, but they just put a lot of money
into Crypto, so that's not going anywhere. So the new stadium,
the new brand new kid in town is the Into
It Dome. Let's find out more about it tonight. You
can go tonight to a Clipper game.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, I mean, this is all about home court advantage.
So we've got from Row one all the way up
to Row fifty one completely filled with Clippers fans. In
order to sit here, you have to, Yeah, you got to.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Be a Clippers fan. Got to be a big Clippers fan.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Easy to get by going online at clippers dot com
slash chuck Mark.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Also, we encourage people to download the into a Dome app,
which you need in order to give your tickets and
order to come here and buy food and that sort
of thing.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
Easy to do.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
I've already done it. As we look at the halo board,
what are we looking at here?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well, I think this is part of the magic of
Intimate Dome is this incredible board. Steve loves video boards,
and he loves video boards that are really the highest
of qualities. So this is a two sided, four K
video board over forty four thousand square feet of LED,
and through a company that we partnered with called Spinefacts,
(14:10):
We've created and rendered some unique graphics on it that
I think are really going to be very special.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
I'm getting a little sea sick looking at that, but
thank you so much. Really quickly, let's put.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Up how soon before the big board for Inzance and
you see the spinning beach ball, you know, and then
they got to reboot it. Ah, it's possible, it's possible,
I think, don't hope it doesn't happen.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Good.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I walked into Costco the other night, and that big
screen's already obsolete.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah? I saw a newer version for a lot less okay,
and what they paid?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, did you buy it?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I did? It wrapped around the living room right now
and out the window.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
What Angel's referencing. We were talking about this last week.
It happens everybody. You go to Costco and the first
thing they do is they show you the big screen TVs.
And you always look at me like, oh, I could
have had this for less money than I have mine now,
and this one's beautiful and mine sucks. Then you go
on and you know, buy shoes that don't fit and
(15:14):
all kinds of crap in there. But they always tease
you first with the electronics. They will show you big
screen TV. It's beautiful, looks like a painting, looks like
you know, it's an unbelievable uh picture, And you don't
have it at home. You got that old piece of
crap that you paid twice as much for and sucks.
I'm getting a little.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
Sea sick looking at that, but thank you so much.
Very quickly, let's put up the schedule of games of
Clipper games on KTLA. We have tonight's game against the
Mavericks begins at seven thirty, and then we have another
I think twelve games from now until April.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
We're very, very proud.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
To be the station, the broadcast station for DLA Clippers
for this season which has been going on.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Right, all right, well, Clippers starting tonight. You go see
the new dome't but you got to download the app
to get your tickets. We're going to get in there.
It's all cash frae, so your cash means nothing, nothing,
absolutely nothing in there. Are they about? Duh? We have time? Yeah,
I gots we have time. Milli Vanilli, remember of Milli Vanilli,
(16:14):
the fake band. You know it's true. Yeah, they weren't.
They weren't singing their songs. They got caught. They got caught. Man,
I'm surprised it went on that long without them getting caught,
because it was years of you know, people singing Milli
Vanilli songs for them, Millie and Vanilli never sang. They couldn't,
(16:34):
and so people had to sing their songs, and they
lived singing in concert and went on for years. You
couldn't do that nowadays.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
They first exploded onto the music scene in the late eighties.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
You know. Yeah, Now, more.
Speaker 11 (16:47):
Than thirty years later, the infamous pop duo Milli Vanilli
one Stepton controversy is reaching a new audience. Netflix's popular
Monsters the Lyle and Eric Menendez Story, weaving their hits
throughout the series.
Speaker 10 (17:06):
In their words, girl, I'm gonna miss you.
Speaker 11 (17:13):
For fab More Band, the only surviving member of the
group watching the songs play out in the show.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
But I don't know that one of the Milli Vanilli
guys died killed him? Is that right? Wow?
Speaker 11 (17:27):
For fab More Band, the only surviving member of the
group watching the songs play out in the show.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
When witness single resurgence. If you remember that day, jump
out a window at an hotel, there was a hotel
on Sunset Boulevard, and he bailed out of a window
or shot himself. I remember Sunset Boulevard being involved with that.
Now alcohol prescription, a drug overdose, No, that's me. We're
talking about Millie Vanilli this.
Speaker 11 (17:56):
Single resurgence of popularity has been exciting.
Speaker 12 (17:59):
Watch first episode and it was like wow from the
get Gold that the music is in there and you.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Knowing it took me back to that and I'm so
excited that those songs are getting more attention. Or do
you seem like you were probably before that got caught.
You were probably a huge million Vinella fan, were you?
Speaker 9 (18:13):
I wouldn't say a fan, but I definitely did have
to play them because that's when I was doing the
DJ sho oh that's right, Yeah he did. By the way,
Rob Polaitis did attempt suicide in ninety one, slashed his wrist.
It took prescription pills and hung from a ninth floor
hotel balcony. I think that was off sunset here in
La Yeah. Sherifsh Debides took him a theater Sinai for observation.
He ended up dying seven years later from the overdose.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Wow, yeah, I do remember that being a big story
is right across the street from House of Blues. It
was on that street. Yeah, what a crazy time to
be around.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
According to Billboard, overall streams for the group's entire catalog
jumped one hundred and fourteen percent. Upon the release of Monsters,
the featured songs like Blame It on the Rain, seeing
a sixty eight percent increase in streaming activity.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
The group's meet oric rise.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
To fames, springing on the popularity of their debut album,
certified six times platinum in nineteen ninety and earning them
a Grammy for Best New Arts.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
We want to say thank you very much. Did they
take the Grammy back? I bet they did. I think
they did. Yeah, that's ours, thank you the second place.
Forced to return the award? What is that exchange? Like
they can buy the house.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, we're here from the Academy. It's Grammy people. This
is Steve Grammy, John Grammy. We're here to pick up
the award. Could we get ten more minutes with it? Well,
we're kind of on a tight schedule.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
Gives them something else, some little cardboard thing they put.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
But I wonder how what that exchange is, like, how
you know you actually physically return it? And what does
that walk away?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Like?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You know, here it is, you go see you later.
What a crazy town? You know they have to take
the award back? That is crazy.
Speaker 10 (20:08):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I was talking to Bellio during the break. You know,
I think our great great grandchildren will find it amazing
that we actually went to a grocery store and pushed
food around for you know, forty five minutes and took
it home. You know, I think everyone's gonna be everything's
gonna be virtual or ai. You know, you'll just you'll
put on goggles and you'll just be at the store.
(20:36):
But the idea of pushing food around in front of
you in a cart, I think that'll be hugely uh unusual.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
You think it'll be just like automatic door dash or whatever.
The food deliveries are better at that point.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You could put on goggles and just you know, you
can literally walk around the store without leaving your home.
Oh yeah, you know, I'll take that. I'll take floating
handeds of this ground exactly. Yeah, that's exactly going to
go on. And then it doesn't have to come from
that store, you know, those that food doesn't have to
be at that store. It can be at a ghost
store or a ghost kitchen. You know, you know what
(21:10):
a ghost kitchen is. Yeah, okay, so it could be
a ghost store. You know, they would they'd have warehouses,
but they wouldn't have to have a store where people
go into.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Gotcha, Well yeah, basically like Amazon essentially. Yeah, just pull
everything off the shelves and in a warehouse exactly exactly.
Our whole life is going to be a warehouse.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Oh my god, Glad, I'm north of thirty. What was
the move?
Speaker 9 (21:32):
What was the Pixar Old Wally where all where everybody
like at that point in the future, they just got
floated around on themes and they were just huge because
they didn't have to do any exertion.

(22:36):
are no way, you know, put a dial up phone
in front of a kid and see what that's like. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (22:42):
Right, But I saw something the other day that just
another reminder. I've seen it before, but it just just
every time I see it just seems more prescient that
we are the last generation that knows what life is
like without social media. Yeah, exactly, and without cell phones too. Yeah,

Speaker 9 (23:03):
When I first got out here by myself, I obviously
I had no cell phones in eighty eight, and I
ended up downtown because I didn't nowhere else to go,
and I was just panicking. Knew nobody, and I just thought,
let me find a payphone to call my dad and
just he can tell me what to do. Wow, And
it took me an hour, hour and a half downtown
to find a payphone that I felt one safe enough
to pull.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Over and use. Right, but now, good, Look, the only
payphone that I know of that still exists, Well, there's two.
There's two, both in Burbank. There's one near the Dell
Taco on San Fernando, and then there's one in best
Buy for some reason, in best Bue in Burbank. Best
Buy has a payphone, and I think it still works.
(23:44):
I think you can put a quarter and make a call.
Speaker 9 (23:45):
The court is still connected to the hands I said, so,
but you know, kids don't know what dial tone is, no,
you know, or a busy signal. Yeah. I've seen the
videos where they stick some kids in front of of
just a regular house phone.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
They go, how do you make this work? And they
have no idea. Do you remember calling to find out
what time it is you have to call the time? Yeah, yeah,
or calling information to get a back Then it was
like five five five one two and two. Yeah, I
think it was eight five to two. Here it was
eight it was eight five to two, and then you
can figure out the rest of it. In case it's
(24:20):
somebody's number now, you know, out of them at the tone, yeah, yeah,
the tone of the time will be and you always
try to call it on like Daylight Savings Day, you know,
to see if if it's going to change at that that.
That's exactly just a dumb crap that we did as kids.
It's really stupid crap. But everybody knew it. Everybody enjoyed it.
(24:41):
You know, we're on the same page. Down what can
you do? All right, let's talk about it. We got
some more news here, including SpaceX. Maybe you saw SpaceX
in the news over the weekend. Unbelievable. They caught the
solid rocket fuel tank or the you know, the solid
rocket booster. They caught it on its way down so
(25:02):
they can use it again. They caught this thing. It weighs,
it's got away forty tons, And there was these two
things that they call, I don't know, chopsticks or something
they give some kind of crazy name to And they
caught this thing.
Speaker 12 (25:15):
The most ambitious SpaceX uncrewed mission yet, starship blasting off
for its fifth test flight. But this time there's a
big catch. You kidding me, The world's largest rocket sending
a ship into orbit.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
The corgeous view of Santa Earth.
Speaker 12 (25:33):
But this new chapter in space history is all about
what happened back on Earth.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
You could see it come it down through the floor
of all.
Speaker 12 (25:40):
For a moment once thought impossible.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
You know, as somebody had asked me, do you think
all those cheering of the people in Hawthorne when they
cheer for SpaceX, you think they just put on a
show for Elon Moss? I said no, No, these people,
all of them, have worked on a spaceship for ten
fifteen years. They just took off. It's the culmination of
all of their work to be able to successfully put
(26:05):
a spaceship into space that eventually is going to go
to Mars. It's probably Look, I got excited. I had
nothing to do with it. I was cheering and yelling, screaming,
and I had nothing to do with it. I just
watched it. Got up early and Sunday and watched it.
Speaker 12 (26:19):
The rocket guides down to the launch pad where it
is literally caught by giant metal pincers.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, they got crazy when it I got nuts when
it landed. Oh my, that's me, that's audio me.
Speaker 12 (26:32):
My former astronaut, Mike Massimino was in disbelief.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Wow, they did it.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
I don't doubt anything that they say they can do,
because they've been delivering on these very, very ambitious objectives.
Speaker 12 (26:46):
The program, in partnership with NASA, aims to reuse equipment
for man missions to the Moon as early as twenty
twenty six, and eventually even as far as Mars.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, we're going to Mars in five or six generations
from now, maybe ten generations from now. When you have
a friend, you're in third grade or fourth grade, and
you say, hey, is your mom picking you up today?
This says, now, my dad's picked me up. Oh where's
your mom? Oh she's on Mars this week. Oh is
that right? How's she doing? Oh good, she's good. You know,
just coming home. I think in February, you know it,
(27:18):
we'll just have people on Mars and there'll be a
city there. There'll be a town and it'll grow and
it'll grow, and we'll have another planet. Well then we'll
want another one, and another one. Got to expand another
giant leaf, because this Earth is going away. We've got
to figure out how or we're just going away. We're
going away for sure. Hey, but you know what. The
(27:40):
first thing, how about this cross the first thing they
plan to do on Mars. This is so typical human beings.
The first thing they plan to do on Mars, because
it's so cold, heat the planet up. I thought we
were trying to do the opposite down here. The first
thing we do we get the is heat that fing
(28:02):
planet up because we can't survive at that temperature. That's great,
we're here. Oh great, what is your first thing? You're
gonna plant some trees, maybe clean the water, you know,
dust off some rocks. No, no, no, no, we want
to heat the planet up. Yeah, we're from Earth. I
don't know if you know this, but we come in.
We come in hard, we come in hot, we come
(28:23):
in hard. It's what we do. Yeah, we're as what
we do. Man, I hope you get used to it.
We're gonna be here for a long time. If you
don't get used to it, Oh well, yeah, where's the
bar around here? What's the bar of the crapper? We're here, Hi,
a holes from Earth.
Speaker 10 (28:48):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
Man.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I wish you guys could smell what's going on here
at the station. We have Kevin with us from Peqito Moss.
He owns the place, and so all that great chicken
and steak and shrimp, it's all there. The fish, it's
all right here man, that Bikito Moss. I enjoy that place.
(29:17):
I go to the one here on Olive sometimes on
the way home. That's a cool one. But the original
one is on Kowanga near Universal Studios. I think you're
up to seven of them now. So great restaurant, fantastic restaurant,
operates it correctly, always quality quality, quality, quality. All right,
(29:37):
let's talk it abound. I want to talk about it. Okay,
how about this buying a car? How to negotiate and
how to get yourself a sweet deal. Everybody's looking to
get the best deal. Maybe looking for a car right now,
and you want to get a good deal. You don't
feel like you've ever gotten the best of them? Don't
you feel like that? Don't you feel like the like
the dealership always gets the best of that deal. Well,
(29:58):
let's see you give you a couple tips here, and
how do I get a sweet deal in buying a grape?
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Talk about why now is such a great time to
buy a car? If not, only is it the end
of the year. Butok, car prices are down from their
record highs on average twenty seven thousand for a used vehicle,
forty seven for a new vehicle.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Wow, forty seven dollars for new vehicle. Isn't that incredible?
Speaker 5 (30:17):
The incentives seven percent on average, which means that's a
discount you're going to get. You weren't seeing that one
or two years ago on a new car.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
On an electric I love the reaction there.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Or two years ago on an.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's a reaction on a.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
New car on an electric car thirteen percent.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Wow, electric car is coming down thirteen percent.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
So this is the time to be buying a car.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (30:39):
So you go to the place and what you don't
negotiate with the car salesperson?
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Now, so here's what I do. First thing, Do I
have an old car used car to trade in? I
calculate the trade in value. That's so easy. You just
look that up on Kelly Bluebook or Edmonds. So you
know what to set your budget for for the new
car if you're going to sell the old car yourself.
I have done that on Craigslist. I meet in front
of a bank and I get a cashier chef. That
is the safest and best way to do that. But
if you want to trade it in, that sounds.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Like a pain in the ass. You meet in front
of a bank with a cashier's check.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
But if you want to trade it in, that's fine.
You'll just know how much money you have to work with.
Then I go online. I do my research. What matters
to you in a car?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Right?
Speaker 5 (31:16):
For me, it's safety and reliability. I look at consumer reports,
I look at Car and Driver magazine. I read all
the reviews. Then I narrow down to what car do
I actually want. I go to the dealership for one
reason only to test drive that car. I want to
make sure I like the leg room. How does it
sound when I'm driving high speeds? Can I operate like
the heater and the radio without having to go into
(31:37):
seventy five different menus. I make sure I like the
car in person. If you like the salesperson you worked with,
take their business card. Then you go home. You look
on a map and you look at what are the
dealerships within a one hour or two hour radius of
where you live.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
DoD is selling a hassle. Sounds like you go get
an electric bike or something that you'd.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Be willing to drive to get your car, and then
you are going to email their Internet fleet department. You're
getting everything in writing at this point and you're saying,
this is the car I want.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yeah, that doesn't work. I've done that before where I
said this is the car I want, they said, great,
here's the price, Come pick it up. Then you get
there and they're like, ah, we just sold it. Really,
I talked to you ten minutes ago it was available.
You just sold it. Huh, yeah, just sold it. But
you want to look at something for about thirty thousand
dollars more.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
This is the car I want. I will take it
in red, white, black, gray, whatever flexible points you have,
but it must have this technology package or this safety package.
What is your best out the door price OTD price.
They know exactly what you're asking for. And I want
the VIN the vehicle identification number. This way you're going
to get in writing the car that they got.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I want a fun person to buy a car with
this woman, she's like nine hundred tips.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
This way you're going to get in writing the car
that they have that actually exists, and the bottom line price,
and then you get the lowest price. And then you
take that number and you email everybody again you are safe.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Oh my god, this woman, it's taken on a second
job finding this car.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Can you beat this price?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
There are flames coming off. This is this incredible.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
This is my tried and true method because it has
worked for me. I've bought eight cars from my family
from various brands over the past twenty years.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Maybe this works. Maybe she's onto something.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Twenty years new cars and it has worked for me
because this is the best way to compare apples to apples.
You have everything in writing and you don't have to haggle.
You're not spending hours at the dealership with the shell
game of moving this and that around. Once you find
that out the door price, then you bring in your
traded and you say, okay, great, I have this car,
how much will you give me for it? And then
you take that price off of your car.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
So that was take about Why do you do it
for used cars?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
So this is more it's a little difficult because you
can't compare them so easily. But with used cars you
just want to look at the loan rate and you
want to make sure it gets a service inspection and
buy pre owned certified with a warranty whenever possible. And
beware of flood cars because right now with Milton Colleen
a reputable yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
You got to look up the car facts on it
because you don't have a flood car. Flood cars are
painting the ends, all right. We talked about cars every
Monday at five point fifteen and it's being brought to
you by Advance here here Yeah, one day treatment, life
changing results. Make your appointment today at Advanced tair dot com. Carcier.
When's the last time you bought a new car two
(34:24):
years ago? Is that the one you're in right now?
Speaker 9 (34:26):
That was new?
Speaker 5 (34:26):
No?
Speaker 9 (34:27):
No, the Kia. We bought the Hyundai Venue a year
and a half ago. Cool car, fantastic cards, This small
little car gen uses it to get back and forth
to work, and it's a fantastic, cool looking little car.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
It's great. Yeah. I searched for a car for I
don't know, almost three years, and I finally found one
at a pretty good price. But I think I liked
looking for them better than I liked buying them. You know.
I loved going to car Max. I love going to
a car lot and just seeing what's what's going on?
(35:01):
You pretty good at rebuffing the guy's coming up to you. Well,
not really, no, I'm horrible, but I do have a
trick that works. I go there late in the afternoon
or actually can go anytime, and when a guy approaches you, you say, hey,
my wife's bringing her car in for service and I'm
just here to pick her up, and they'll leave you alone.
(35:25):
Even though your wife never shows up with her car.
They think that, you know, you've already bought a car here,
you're not going to buy another one. You know what.
Speaker 9 (35:31):
I used that once when it was actually true. I
had a car in being serviced, and I never really
thought to use it outside of that. Yeah, that's a
fantastic idea.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
My wife and I at one point, this is ten
years ago. You know, this is I'm going to tell
you a story. It's politically incorrect, but it was ten
years ago, different time, different time. But my wife and
I knew just enough like sign language, because she has
some people on her side of the family that you
(36:00):
sign language, and so we do just enough to like
say a few things to each other in sign language.
So I don't remember whose idea it was, probably mine,
And we're at a car dealership and a guy could, okay,
it can help you. And my wife signed something to
me and I signed something back like we're that's how
we're communicating. The guy knew sign language. No, yeah, the
(36:25):
guy knew it.
Speaker 9 (36:27):
It's getting harder to harder get away with that one too.
It is a lot of people know it.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
But the one that does work is you say your
wife or your husband or bed partner, significant other or
whoever you know.
Speaker 9 (36:40):
That would be fantastic if you said that, yeah, my
bed partner's got a car here.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
What by the way, they'll leave you alone. When you
use the term bed partner, you know, I think, wow,
what an a hole.
Speaker 9 (36:54):
You don't even get the sentence out my bed partner.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
There's no way this guy has money. He's talking about
is significant other? Is a bed partner? This guy's making
no dough. But if you say your wife or husband's
bringing their car in for service, especially if it's late
in the afternoon, you say, hey, can I get one
of those envelopes for the keys to leave? He wants
to leave her car over and I should be in
(37:17):
about twenty minutes. And then you carry that envelope around
with you. You know where you drop the keys in it
and write you know what the problem with the car is,
and they'll leave you alone, won't They won't bother you
at all. But the worst one I had was when
I went to look for a car. My daughter turned sixteen,
and when she turned eighteen, my dad left her a
couple of bucks and she wanted to buy a car,
(37:39):
and so we went to a car dealership and the
guy said, I think it was in I think it
was now Monty And we were walking down the dealer
on their property and the guy said, hey, can I
help you? And I said, I said, hey, can I
get your card? I'm here just walking around my daughter.
She has no idea what she wants. It's going to
be a long afternoon. Let me just take your card
and then when we know what we want, I'll call
(38:00):
you or text you. And he goes, no, he goes,
I got nothing going on. He goes, I'll just walk
with you. I said, I said, I know, but but
I don't want to do that. I want to just
walk around with her and not have any kind of pressure.
I just want to want her to see the cars.
And the guy says no. He says, I'm I'm I'm
all yours I'm not dumb, you know, I got nothing
going on. I'll just I'll show you all these cars.
(38:22):
And the third one I said to him, I said, buddy,
I said, look, uh, if I don't want to do
this that way, but if you insist, we'll just take off.
And he says nope. He goes, I'm with you, and
I said okay, and we just left, just left, and
and I couldn't believe. But there's something about car dealerships
where they've got to come out and bang on you
(38:43):
and maybe that works. You know, maybe maybe they all
do it because it works. Maybe that's it. I don't know,
but man, is that the biggest turn off to go
into a car dealership is having those guys, those five
guys standing around and then one walks up to you
and you're like, oh boy, here we go, here we go,
here we go to this guy? All right. We're live
on CAFI AM six forty Conway Show on demand on

the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us live

(00:20):
so we said, we're talking about these extra toasted cheese its,
and I said, Oh, someone's gonna some guy's gonna get
this car. He's not going to market and buy this.
Then it happened, Belly, We got a picture of a
guy walking into it a grocery store and buying those
extra toasty cheese its. How great is that?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Mark?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Mark? Mark?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Because you said want some guy and so he is
going to go in and buy it because they hear
us talking about it, and he wrote and he said,
I was that guy just bought some classic.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
That's great. All right, Let's talk about the longest I
employee at Disneyland. Find out who they is.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Most people can't imagine themselves working at the same company
for sixty two years.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Wow, sixty two years.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
But when it comes to the Walt Disney Company, you
can meet Hank a mean. He is the longest standing
cast member at Disneyland Resort. Hank celebrated his sixty second
service anniversary today and holds a legendary status as the
current longest standing employee of the Walt Disney Company. One
of his fondest memories includes having lunch with Walt Disney himself.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
All Right, that's a cool brag, you know. In the
world of Braggs. Guy's ninety two years old. Ninety two
and he still shows up to work every day, ninety two.
That is wild. All right, let's talk about this parachute?
Is this everybody's talking about?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
This?
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Online video obtained by ABC seven News shows the moments
when maybe parachutists missed his landing and well I did
with a woman and a child during a Fleet Week
air show on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Everybody was like, whoa, what just happened? It's pretty crazy
if you saw it, man, it's a scary, scary video.
Speaker 7 (02:13):
We're at Rocky Moore and her daughter Sophia were standing
just feet away and shot this video. The pair says
they saw the woman being placed onto a stretcher was
what appeared to be a neck injury. Rocky Moore says,
while still scary, she's happy more people weren't injured.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
I thought he was about to hit the stoplight all
the way to the concrete zone, but I'm glad he
made it to the grass area.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Responding to the incident, in a statement to ABC seven News,
a Navy spokesperson said, quote, safety is our number one priority.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
That's right. That's with everybody, every employer, they'll say that first.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Safety is our number one priority. We cannot immediately assess
what happens. However, we will review this incident to determine
the cause. Leaving the parachute incident aside, this Fleet Week
was by and large a massive success for the city
of San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
That's right, that's exactly, except for the woman who got
her neck broken.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
We talked to several people here along the cities Embarcadero,
all of them telling us San Francisco feels very much alive.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
That's right, except for the woman with the broken neck.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Throughout the weekend, thousands of people flooded into the city
for the many sites and sounds of Fleet Week, everything
from ship tours to the always popular Blue Angels.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
The Angels they rule so the angels always put on
the best show. They always put on their best and yeah,
they're still the show.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
There are a lot of people online that think that
the only reason San Francisco has an air shows it's
a pre military operation to take that city back. You
think that's true. I don't know. Conspiracy, maybe it's out there.
It's out there, but something's got to go on with
that city. And I'll tell you why. There are a
(03:54):
lot of people live in Los Angeles now there from
San Francisco and they had to move because they didn't
want their kids, or wife, or their husband or a
signific significant other bed partner. Is that it be? Yeah, okay,
didn't doesn't. They don't want to live in that area.
They don't want to live around that kind of crime
and that kind of you know, wild atmosphere in San Francisco.
(04:16):
It's filthy, it's dangerous, and that's a bad combination. It's
so bad that it affects the San Francisco for Giants,
the San Francisco Giants. There were three major leaguers, all
free agents, that could have signed with San Francisco, and
all three of them said no to the money, a
(04:39):
lot of money because they didn't want to raise their
kids in San Francisco. So you've got to change the city.
You've got to do something about it. You've got to
do something about San Francisco. And I don't know whether
an air show is it.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
That sense of excitement also echoed by people like Stephen
Morgan Kramer, who drove in with their five children Sunday.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
For a long time, it was just it wasn't much
going on that it's really good for us to see
our city coming back to life.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
For the Kramer family, Fleet week holds a special significance with.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
There you go, all right, the Clippers are going to
pay play their very first game in this beautiful new
arena to night.
Speaker 8 (05:19):
Yeah, we are in midway up the wall here looking
down at the court. That is the new home of
the La Clippers. After years of construction and a couple
of billion dollars happening of investment here now the Intuit
Dome is ready for basketball. This is Gilliam Zucker, She's
the president of Basketball operator. To be here, I mean,
(05:40):
looking at this thing, can you believe this was a
vacant lot.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
At what for?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I can't believe it. I can't believe that We're finally here.
The court is down. All we need or the fans
to come and enjoy this incredible place.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
And the fans are going to fill that place. And
to be on the wall, which is on one end
of I don't know whether it's the south end or
north end, whatever it is, but to be on the
wall there, to be behind the basket, you have to
be a huge Clippers fan, and they will test you. Crozer,
you could make it. You could make it. You're a
big Clippers fan. I think so, yeah, but I couldn't.
(06:12):
I've never been to a Clippers again in my life.
What that's right?
Speaker 9 (06:16):
Seriously, you've never been to a Clippers game.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
That's one hundred percent correct. There's so much more room
to move. I know. I remember when they played at
the Sports Arena, how filthy it was down there, and
it was kind of a dangerous hangs. I didn't run
him down there. But I'd like to see this new stadium.
Oh yeah, it looks fantastic, really does. And every seat
looks great. Every seat's unbelievable. The food's great, and they
(06:41):
always talk about the toilets.
Speaker 9 (06:42):
Got like chargers on each seat, yes, seat for your phone.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And the one thing that when Steve Bomber gives a
tour to people, he always talks about the toilets. Okay,
all right, I get that, but I've never used a
toilet at an arena ever in my life. What ever, No,
I'm telling you the truth. I mean you, I've used
a urinal, but I've never used a toilet. You know,
(07:07):
I don't. I don't. I don't go to a game
and you know and hit it and I don't do that.
I think that maybe an emergency, as you do, and
you got to I don't know a guy who goes
to the game and you know, bangs one out.
Speaker 9 (07:22):
Oh yeah, Well, I mean I've used the toilet, but
because the urinals were fun.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Okay, then you didn't use it. You didn't use it proper.
I've never sat intended purpose. I've never sat a spell
at a game. I might be with you on that. Yeah,
I think there's so much action in there to you know,
bring out a la times and uh, relax. I don't
(07:47):
know who does that.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
I mean, we've been with this from beginning to end,
and this is really something different, This is unique.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
And then and then we'll stop talking about this because
I know you know you don't like it, but every
time you do see a guy in there who is
you know, dropping the dus, he always sounds like he's struggling.
You know, it's it's an emergency in his case. Nobody
(08:15):
does that unless it's a wild emergency.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
Steve Palmer's vision of a fan centric experience absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Steve had a lot of big ideas. We took a
bunch of risks. I think a lot of them. You know,
we're starting to see them in action, and tonight will
be testing a few for preseason as we get ready
for October twenty third when we face the Suns. But
fans will have a chance to see some of the
unique features.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Of you know, the crozier this stadium might put the
Clippers might leap the frog, the Clippers over Lakers on
the hot ticket in town.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
I think it's quite possible, at least initially.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, exactly. How about when the when the Lakers play
the Clippers in the into it Dot, That's gonna be
a hell of a game.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
The seating bowl, we have led lights in every seat.
You can charge your phone in every seat. We have
some games that you can.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
Play, and in game consoles in every seat.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Exactly. Yeah, so we have game controllers. They're in every
arm rasted, but then we have all sorts of games.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
Let's take a little quick walk over here and show
you this this direction over here, and if you come
over here, you can see these little controllers are at
every seat. And you know what, I was thinking to myself, Okay,
this is unique. But then I remember Steve Balmer is
responsible for the Xbox, so that's why this is here.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I didn't know that. Wait, Steve Bomber created the Xbox. Well,
I guess Microsoft, y, So.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Then I remember Steve Balmer is responsible for the Xbox,
so that's why this is here.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
That's exactly right. And I think one of the things
that's most unique about it is after we put.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
These in, did you hear the story about Steve Bomber
that he was he was working for him, and I
think it was in advertising at a big company like
you know, like Procter and Gamble or something, and he
was selling or maybe Betty Crocker and he was selling
cake mix and you know, you call the store, hey,
(10:01):
we get you know, a thousand bockses you want them
to know? Yeah, okay, whatever. And he was friends with
Bill Gates, and Bill Gates called him out of blue
and said, hey, I need a pr guy. I need
a guy to really help me out with this Microsoft.
Can you show up? Can you come work for me?
And initially Steve Bomber said no, and then Bill Gates
convinced him to come to the company because he offered
(10:23):
him nine percent of the company. Steve Bomber owns nine
percent of Microsoft. Nine percent. That's unbelievable, you know. That's
that's how you make two hundred billion dollars nine percent
of a company like that. Don't do anything else, No,
you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
He wanted everybody to be able to play the games
in real time, so we also added in a real
time gaming engine into the board itself, which allows us
to do all sorts of unique things with content as well.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
All right, in this area where we're standing right now,
let's walk back over this direction. This is the wall.
As we've discussed, this is a speciall place for Clippers
fans only.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
That's right, the wall. You gotta be a huge Clippers
fan to be on the wall.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
You're not gonna let opposing team fans come even Siver.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, I mean this is all about uh, we'll come back.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
This is a big deal. This new stadium is opening
tonight for preseason, but tonight is your first opportunity to
see a game in the Into It Dome. So maybe
you're leaving Dodger Stadium and you're going over to the
Into a Dome Dodger game by day, Clipper game at night.
I know some people are doing that.
Speaker 10 (11:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
This is a big story with this Into It Dome
opening up this new arena, because how many new arenas
are we gonna have in Los Angeles for the rest
of our lives. There's not gonna be another one for
the Clippers. I don't know, maybe fifty years from now,
forty years from now. There's not gonna be a new
one for the Rams or the Chargers. I think the
next newest one, there's not gonna be a new Dodger
(11:56):
Stadium that'll be there forever. I think the next newest
one might maybe the Lakers, And I predict that the
Lakers move into the Into It dumb That's my prediction.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I bet not.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I think Steve Bomber is going to make a deal.
If the Lakers find their way back to Inglewood and
they playing the Into It dumb why wouldn't they all.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Right, they wanted their own arena they did.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, all right, well they got it. They did not
like sharing. Okay, all right, I get done. And it's
it's spectacular. Everybody has seen it, says it's unreal. But
I remember, you know, I don't think we We've had
two new stadiums, well three, the soccer stadium downtown. Three
(12:45):
new stadiums in the last ten years, brand new ones,
and we're not going to see another baseball stadium ever.
Maybe in our lives, maybe some improvements, but not a
new one. I think Dodger Stadium will be there forever.
Everybody loves Dodger Stadium. It'd be silly to tear it
down and rebuild it. Silly, And we're not going to.
(13:06):
You know, we might see I don't know. Maybe Crypto
might change, but they just put a lot of money
into Crypto, so that's not going anywhere. So the new stadium,
the new brand new kid in town is the Into
It Dome. Let's find out more about it tonight. You
can go tonight to a Clipper game.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, I mean, this is all about home court advantage.
So we've got from Row one all the way up
to Row fifty one completely filled with Clippers fans. In
order to sit here, you have to, Yeah, you got to.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Be a Clippers fan. Got to be a big Clippers fan.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Easy to get by going online at clippers dot com
slash chuck Mark.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
Also, we encourage people to download the into a Dome app,
which you need in order to give your tickets and
order to come here and buy food and that sort
of thing.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
Easy to do.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
I've already done it. As we look at the halo board,
what are we looking at here?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well, I think this is part of the magic of
Intimate Dome is this incredible board. Steve loves video boards,
and he loves video boards that are really the highest
of qualities. So this is a two sided, four K
video board over forty four thousand square feet of LED,
and through a company that we partnered with called Spinefacts,
(14:10):
We've created and rendered some unique graphics on it that
I think are really going to be very special.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
I'm getting a little sea sick looking at that, but
thank you so much. Really quickly, let's put.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Up how soon before the big board for Inzance and
you see the spinning beach ball, you know, and then
they got to reboot it. Ah, it's possible, it's possible,
I think, don't hope it doesn't happen.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Good.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I walked into Costco the other night, and that big
screen's already obsolete.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah? I saw a newer version for a lot less okay,
and what they paid?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, did you buy it?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I did? It wrapped around the living room right now
and out the window.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
What Angel's referencing. We were talking about this last week.
It happens everybody. You go to Costco and the first
thing they do is they show you the big screen TVs.
And you always look at me like, oh, I could
have had this for less money than I have mine now,
and this one's beautiful and mine sucks. Then you go
on and you know, buy shoes that don't fit and
(15:14):
all kinds of crap in there. But they always tease
you first with the electronics. They will show you big
screen TV. It's beautiful, looks like a painting, looks like
you know, it's an unbelievable uh picture, And you don't
have it at home. You got that old piece of
crap that you paid twice as much for and sucks.
I'm getting a little.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
Sea sick looking at that, but thank you so much.
Very quickly, let's put up the schedule of games of
Clipper games on KTLA. We have tonight's game against the
Mavericks begins at seven thirty, and then we have another
I think twelve games from now until April.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
We're very, very proud.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
To be the station, the broadcast station for DLA Clippers
for this season which has been going on.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Right, all right, well, Clippers starting tonight. You go see
the new dome't but you got to download the app
to get your tickets. We're going to get in there.
It's all cash frae, so your cash means nothing, nothing,
absolutely nothing in there. Are they about? Duh? We have time? Yeah,
I gots we have time. Milli Vanilli, remember of Milli Vanilli,
(16:14):
the fake band. You know it's true. Yeah, they weren't.
They weren't singing their songs. They got caught. They got caught. Man,
I'm surprised it went on that long without them getting caught,
because it was years of you know, people singing Milli
Vanilli songs for them, Millie and Vanilli never sang. They couldn't,
(16:34):
and so people had to sing their songs, and they
lived singing in concert and went on for years. You
couldn't do that nowadays.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
They first exploded onto the music scene in the late eighties.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
You know. Yeah, Now, more.
Speaker 11 (16:47):
Than thirty years later, the infamous pop duo Milli Vanilli
one Stepton controversy is reaching a new audience. Netflix's popular
Monsters the Lyle and Eric Menendez Story, weaving their hits
throughout the series.
Speaker 10 (17:06):
In their words, girl, I'm gonna miss you.
Speaker 11 (17:13):
For fab More Band, the only surviving member of the
group watching the songs play out in the show.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
But I don't know that one of the Milli Vanilli
guys died killed him? Is that right? Wow?
Speaker 11 (17:27):
For fab More Band, the only surviving member of the
group watching the songs play out in the show.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
When witness single resurgence. If you remember that day, jump
out a window at an hotel, there was a hotel
on Sunset Boulevard, and he bailed out of a window
or shot himself. I remember Sunset Boulevard being involved with that.
Now alcohol prescription, a drug overdose, No, that's me. We're
talking about Millie Vanilli this.
Speaker 11 (17:56):
Single resurgence of popularity has been exciting.
Speaker 12 (17:59):
Watch first episode and it was like wow from the
get Gold that the music is in there and you.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Knowing it took me back to that and I'm so
excited that those songs are getting more attention. Or do
you seem like you were probably before that got caught.
You were probably a huge million Vinella fan, were you?
Speaker 9 (18:13):
I wouldn't say a fan, but I definitely did have
to play them because that's when I was doing the
DJ sho oh that's right, Yeah he did. By the way,
Rob Polaitis did attempt suicide in ninety one, slashed his wrist.
It took prescription pills and hung from a ninth floor
hotel balcony. I think that was off sunset here in
La Yeah. Sherifsh Debides took him a theater Sinai for observation.
He ended up dying seven years later from the overdose.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Wow, yeah, I do remember that being a big story
is right across the street from House of Blues. It
was on that street. Yeah, what a crazy time to
be around.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
According to Billboard, overall streams for the group's entire catalog
jumped one hundred and fourteen percent. Upon the release of Monsters,
the featured songs like Blame It on the Rain, seeing
a sixty eight percent increase in streaming activity.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
The group's meet oric rise.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
To fames, springing on the popularity of their debut album,
certified six times platinum in nineteen ninety and earning them
a Grammy for Best New Arts.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
We want to say thank you very much. Did they
take the Grammy back? I bet they did. I think
they did. Yeah, that's ours, thank you the second place.
Forced to return the award? What is that exchange? Like
they can buy the house.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, we're here from the Academy. It's Grammy people. This
is Steve Grammy, John Grammy. We're here to pick up
the award. Could we get ten more minutes with it? Well,
we're kind of on a tight schedule.
Speaker 9 (19:46):
Gives them something else, some little cardboard thing they put.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
But I wonder how what that exchange is, like, how
you know you actually physically return it? And what does
that walk away?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Like?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You know, here it is, you go see you later.
What a crazy town? You know they have to take
the award back? That is crazy.
Speaker 10 (20:08):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I was talking to Bellio during the break. You know,
I think our great great grandchildren will find it amazing
that we actually went to a grocery store and pushed
food around for you know, forty five minutes and took
it home. You know, I think everyone's gonna be everything's
gonna be virtual or ai. You know, you'll just you'll
put on goggles and you'll just be at the store.
(20:36):
But the idea of pushing food around in front of
you in a cart, I think that'll be hugely uh unusual.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
You think it'll be just like automatic door dash or whatever.
The food deliveries are better at that point.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You could put on goggles and just you know, you
can literally walk around the store without leaving your home.
Oh yeah, you know, I'll take that. I'll take floating
handeds of this ground exactly. Yeah, that's exactly going to
go on. And then it doesn't have to come from
that store, you know, those that food doesn't have to
be at that store. It can be at a ghost
store or a ghost kitchen. You know, you know what
(21:10):
a ghost kitchen is. Yeah, okay, so it could be
a ghost store. You know, they would they'd have warehouses,
but they wouldn't have to have a store where people
go into.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Gotcha, Well yeah, basically like Amazon essentially. Yeah, just pull
everything off the shelves and in a warehouse exactly exactly.
Our whole life is going to be a warehouse.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Oh my god, Glad, I'm north of thirty. What was
the move?
Speaker 9 (21:32):
What was the Pixar Old Wally where all where everybody
like at that point in the future, they just got
floated around on themes and they were just huge because
they didn't have to do any exertion.
Speaker 1 (21:42):

we were talking about, you know about you know, the
stuff that's already changed in our lifetime. You know, there
(22:36):
are no way, you know, put a dial up phone
in front of a kid and see what that's like. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (22:42):
Right, But I saw something the other day that just
another reminder. I've seen it before, but it just just
every time I see it just seems more prescient that
we are the last generation that knows what life is
like without social media. Yeah, exactly, and without cell phones too. Yeah,
everybody born will have no idea what that's like. It's great,
that's true. Payphones, remember payphones?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Oh my god.
Speaker 9 (23:03):
When I first got out here by myself, I obviously
I had no cell phones in eighty eight, and I
ended up downtown because I didn't nowhere else to go,
and I was just panicking. Knew nobody, and I just thought,
let me find a payphone to call my dad and
just he can tell me what to do. Wow, And
it took me an hour, hour and a half downtown
to find a payphone that I felt one safe enough
to pull.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Over and use. Right, but now, good, Look, the only
payphone that I know of that still exists, Well, there's two.
There's two, both in Burbank. There's one near the Dell
Taco on San Fernando, and then there's one in best
Buy for some reason, in best Bue in Burbank. Best
Buy has a payphone, and I think it still works.
(23:44):
I think you can put a quarter and make a call.
Speaker 9 (23:45):
The court is still connected to the hands I said, so,
but you know, kids don't know what dial tone is, no,
you know, or a busy signal. Yeah. I've seen the
videos where they stick some kids in front of of
just a regular house phone.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
They go, how do you make this work? And they
have no idea. Do you remember calling to find out
what time it is you have to call the time? Yeah, yeah,
or calling information to get a back Then it was
like five five five one two and two. Yeah, I
think it was eight five to two. Here it was
eight it was eight five to two, and then you
can figure out the rest of it. In case it's
(24:20):
somebody's number now, you know, out of them at the tone, yeah, yeah,
the tone of the time will be and you always
try to call it on like Daylight Savings Day, you know,
to see if if it's going to change at that that.
That's exactly just a dumb crap that we did as kids.
It's really stupid crap. But everybody knew it. Everybody enjoyed it.
(24:41):
You know, we're on the same page. Down what can
you do? All right, let's talk about it. We got
some more news here, including SpaceX. Maybe you saw SpaceX
in the news over the weekend. Unbelievable. They caught the
solid rocket fuel tank or the you know, the solid
rocket booster. They caught it on its way down so
(25:02):
they can use it again. They caught this thing. It weighs,
it's got away forty tons, And there was these two
things that they call, I don't know, chopsticks or something
they give some kind of crazy name to And they
caught this thing.
Speaker 12 (25:15):
The most ambitious SpaceX uncrewed mission yet, starship blasting off
for its fifth test flight. But this time there's a
big catch. You kidding me, The world's largest rocket sending
a ship into orbit.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
The corgeous view of Santa Earth.
Speaker 12 (25:33):
But this new chapter in space history is all about
what happened back on Earth.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
You could see it come it down through the floor
of all.
Speaker 12 (25:40):
For a moment once thought impossible.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
You know, as somebody had asked me, do you think
all those cheering of the people in Hawthorne when they
cheer for SpaceX, you think they just put on a
show for Elon Moss? I said no, No, these people,
all of them, have worked on a spaceship for ten
fifteen years. They just took off. It's the culmination of
all of their work to be able to successfully put
(26:05):
a spaceship into space that eventually is going to go
to Mars. It's probably Look, I got excited. I had
nothing to do with it. I was cheering and yelling, screaming,
and I had nothing to do with it. I just
watched it. Got up early and Sunday and watched it.
Speaker 12 (26:19):
The rocket guides down to the launch pad where it
is literally caught by giant metal pincers.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, they got crazy when it I got nuts when
it landed. Oh my, that's me, that's audio me.
Speaker 12 (26:32):
My former astronaut, Mike Massimino was in disbelief.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Wow, they did it.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
I don't doubt anything that they say they can do,
because they've been delivering on these very, very ambitious objectives.
Speaker 12 (26:46):
The program, in partnership with NASA, aims to reuse equipment
for man missions to the Moon as early as twenty
twenty six, and eventually even as far as Mars.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, we're going to Mars in five or six generations
from now, maybe ten generations from now. When you have
a friend, you're in third grade or fourth grade, and
you say, hey, is your mom picking you up today?
This says, now, my dad's picked me up. Oh where's
your mom? Oh she's on Mars this week. Oh is
that right? How's she doing? Oh good, she's good. You know,
just coming home. I think in February, you know it,
(27:18):
we'll just have people on Mars and there'll be a
city there. There'll be a town and it'll grow and
it'll grow, and we'll have another planet. Well then we'll
want another one, and another one. Got to expand another
giant leaf, because this Earth is going away. We've got
to figure out how or we're just going away. We're
going away for sure. Hey, but you know what. The
(27:40):
first thing, how about this cross the first thing they
plan to do on Mars. This is so typical human beings.
The first thing they plan to do on Mars, because
it's so cold, heat the planet up. I thought we
were trying to do the opposite down here. The first
thing we do we get the is heat that fing
(28:02):
planet up because we can't survive at that temperature. That's great,
we're here. Oh great, what is your first thing? You're
gonna plant some trees, maybe clean the water, you know,
dust off some rocks. No, no, no, no, we want
to heat the planet up. Yeah, we're from Earth. I
don't know if you know this, but we come in.
We come in hard, we come in hot, we come
(28:23):
in hard. It's what we do. Yeah, we're as what
we do. Man, I hope you get used to it.
We're gonna be here for a long time. If you
don't get used to it, Oh well, yeah, where's the
bar around here? What's the bar of the crapper? We're here, Hi,
a holes from Earth.
Speaker 10 (28:48):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
Man.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I wish you guys could smell what's going on here
at the station. We have Kevin with us from Peqito Moss.
He owns the place, and so all that great chicken
and steak and shrimp, it's all there. The fish, it's
all right here man, that Bikito Moss. I enjoy that place.
(29:17):
I go to the one here on Olive sometimes on
the way home. That's a cool one. But the original
one is on Kowanga near Universal Studios. I think you're
up to seven of them now. So great restaurant, fantastic restaurant,
operates it correctly, always quality quality, quality, quality. All right,
(29:37):
let's talk it abound. I want to talk about it. Okay,
how about this buying a car? How to negotiate and
how to get yourself a sweet deal. Everybody's looking to
get the best deal. Maybe looking for a car right now,
and you want to get a good deal. You don't
feel like you've ever gotten the best of them? Don't
you feel like that? Don't you feel like the like
the dealership always gets the best of that deal. Well,
(29:58):
let's see you give you a couple tips here, and
how do I get a sweet deal in buying a grape?
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Talk about why now is such a great time to
buy a car? If not, only is it the end
of the year. Butok, car prices are down from their
record highs on average twenty seven thousand for a used vehicle,
forty seven for a new vehicle.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Wow, forty seven dollars for new vehicle. Isn't that incredible?
Speaker 5 (30:17):
The incentives seven percent on average, which means that's a
discount you're going to get. You weren't seeing that one
or two years ago on a new car.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
On an electric I love the reaction there.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Or two years ago on an.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's a reaction on a.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
New car on an electric car thirteen percent.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Wow, electric car is coming down thirteen percent.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
So this is the time to be buying a car.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (30:39):
So you go to the place and what you don't
negotiate with the car salesperson?
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Now, so here's what I do. First thing, Do I
have an old car used car to trade in? I
calculate the trade in value. That's so easy. You just
look that up on Kelly Bluebook or Edmonds. So you
know what to set your budget for for the new
car if you're going to sell the old car yourself.
I have done that on Craigslist. I meet in front
of a bank and I get a cashier chef. That
is the safest and best way to do that. But
if you want to trade it in, that sounds.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Like a pain in the ass. You meet in front
of a bank with a cashier's check.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
But if you want to trade it in, that's fine.
You'll just know how much money you have to work with.
Then I go online. I do my research. What matters
to you in a car?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Right?
Speaker 5 (31:16):
For me, it's safety and reliability. I look at consumer reports,
I look at Car and Driver magazine. I read all
the reviews. Then I narrow down to what car do
I actually want. I go to the dealership for one
reason only to test drive that car. I want to
make sure I like the leg room. How does it
sound when I'm driving high speeds? Can I operate like
the heater and the radio without having to go into
(31:37):
seventy five different menus. I make sure I like the
car in person. If you like the salesperson you worked with,
take their business card. Then you go home. You look
on a map and you look at what are the
dealerships within a one hour or two hour radius of
where you live.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
DoD is selling a hassle. Sounds like you go get
an electric bike or something that you'd.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Be willing to drive to get your car, and then
you are going to email their Internet fleet department. You're
getting everything in writing at this point and you're saying,
this is the car I want.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yeah, that doesn't work. I've done that before where I
said this is the car I want, they said, great,
here's the price, Come pick it up. Then you get
there and they're like, ah, we just sold it. Really,
I talked to you ten minutes ago it was available.
You just sold it. Huh, yeah, just sold it. But
you want to look at something for about thirty thousand
dollars more.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
This is the car I want. I will take it
in red, white, black, gray, whatever flexible points you have,
but it must have this technology package or this safety package.
What is your best out the door price OTD price.
They know exactly what you're asking for. And I want
the VIN the vehicle identification number. This way you're going
to get in writing the car that they got.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I want a fun person to buy a car with
this woman, she's like nine hundred tips.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
This way you're going to get in writing the car
that they have that actually exists, and the bottom line price,
and then you get the lowest price. And then you
take that number and you email everybody again you are safe.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Oh my god, this woman, it's taken on a second
job finding this car.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Can you beat this price?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
There are flames coming off. This is this incredible.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
This is my tried and true method because it has
worked for me. I've bought eight cars from my family
from various brands over the past twenty years.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Maybe this works. Maybe she's onto something.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Twenty years new cars and it has worked for me
because this is the best way to compare apples to apples.
You have everything in writing and you don't have to haggle.
You're not spending hours at the dealership with the shell
game of moving this and that around. Once you find
that out the door price, then you bring in your
traded and you say, okay, great, I have this car,
how much will you give me for it? And then
you take that price off of your car.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
So that was take about Why do you do it
for used cars?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
So this is more it's a little difficult because you
can't compare them so easily. But with used cars you
just want to look at the loan rate and you
want to make sure it gets a service inspection and
buy pre owned certified with a warranty whenever possible. And
beware of flood cars because right now with Milton Colleen
a reputable yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
You got to look up the car facts on it
because you don't have a flood car. Flood cars are
painting the ends, all right. We talked about cars every
Monday at five point fifteen and it's being brought to

When's the last time you bought a new car two
(34:24):
years ago? Is that the one you're in right now?
Speaker 9 (34:26):
That was new?
Speaker 5 (34:26):
No?
Speaker 9 (34:27):
No, the Kia. We bought the Hyundai Venue a year
and a half ago. Cool car, fantastic cards, This small
little car gen uses it to get back and forth
to work, and it's a fantastic, cool looking little car.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
It's great. Yeah. I searched for a car for I
don't know, almost three years, and I finally found one
at a pretty good price. But I think I liked
looking for them better than I liked buying them. You know.
I loved going to car Max. I love going to
a car lot and just seeing what's what's going on?
(35:01):
You pretty good at rebuffing the guy's coming up to you. Well,
not really, no, I'm horrible, but I do have a
trick that works. I go there late in the afternoon
or actually can go anytime, and when a guy approaches you, you say, hey,
my wife's bringing her car in for service and I'm
just here to pick her up, and they'll leave you alone.
(35:25):
Even though your wife never shows up with her car.
They think that, you know, you've already bought a car here,
you're not going to buy another one. You know what.
Speaker 9 (35:31):
I used that once when it was actually true. I
had a car in being serviced, and I never really
thought to use it outside of that. Yeah, that's a
fantastic idea.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
My wife and I at one point, this is ten
years ago. You know, this is I'm going to tell
you a story. It's politically incorrect, but it was ten
years ago, different time, different time. But my wife and
I knew just enough like sign language, because she has
some people on her side of the family that you
(36:00):
sign language, and so we do just enough to like
say a few things to each other in sign language.
So I don't remember whose idea it was, probably mine,
And we're at a car dealership and a guy could, okay,
it can help you. And my wife signed something to
me and I signed something back like we're that's how
we're communicating. The guy knew sign language. No, yeah, the
(36:25):
guy knew it.
Speaker 9 (36:27):
It's getting harder to harder get away with that one too.
It is a lot of people know it.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
But the one that does work is you say your
wife or your husband or bed partner, significant other or
whoever you know.
Speaker 9 (36:40):
That would be fantastic if you said that, yeah, my
bed partner's got a car here.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
What by the way, they'll leave you alone. When you
use the term bed partner, you know, I think, wow,
what an a hole.
Speaker 9 (36:54):
You don't even get the sentence out my bed partner.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
There's no way this guy has money. He's talking about
is significant other? Is a bed partner? This guy's making
no dough. But if you say your wife or husband's
bringing their car in for service, especially if it's late
in the afternoon, you say, hey, can I get one
of those envelopes for the keys to leave? He wants
to leave her car over and I should be in
(37:17):
about twenty minutes. And then you carry that envelope around
with you. You know where you drop the keys in it
and write you know what the problem with the car is,
and they'll leave you alone, won't They won't bother you
at all. But the worst one I had was when
I went to look for a car. My daughter turned sixteen,
and when she turned eighteen, my dad left her a
couple of bucks and she wanted to buy a car,
(37:39):
and so we went to a car dealership and the
guy said, I think it was in I think it
was now Monty And we were walking down the dealer
on their property and the guy said, hey, can I
help you? And I said, I said, hey, can I
get your card? I'm here just walking around my daughter.
She has no idea what she wants. It's going to
be a long afternoon. Let me just take your card
and then when we know what we want, I'll call
(38:00):
you or text you. And he goes, no, he goes,
I got nothing going on. He goes, I'll just walk
with you. I said, I said, I know, but but
I don't want to do that. I want to just
walk around with her and not have any kind of pressure.
I just want to want her to see the cars.
And the guy says no. He says, I'm I'm I'm
all yours I'm not dumb, you know, I got nothing
going on. I'll just I'll show you all these cars.
(38:22):
And the third one I said to him, I said, buddy,
I said, look, uh, if I don't want to do
this that way, but if you insist, we'll just take off.
And he says nope. He goes, I'm with you, and
I said okay, and we just left, just left, and
and I couldn't believe. But there's something about car dealerships
where they've got to come out and bang on you
(38:43):
and maybe that works. You know, maybe maybe they all
do it because it works. Maybe that's it. I don't know,
but man, is that the biggest turn off to go
into a car dealership is having those guys, those five
guys standing around and then one walks up to you
and you're like, oh boy, here we go, here we go,
here we go to this guy? All right. We're live
