It's k IF I am sixty andyou're listening to the Conway Show on demand

the car for a couple of dayshere, you know, unaccompanied, Yeah,
exactly, unaccompanied. Mark Tops issitting in We're k IF I am
(00:23):
six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadioapp. And It's true, I'll never
forget where I was when I heardthe news. Pat say Jack is leaving
Wheel. You know it. Wetold you about it a while ago,
(00:43):
but the reality of it is reallystarting to sink into me, you know.
I mean, it's an American tradition. Pat's been doing it a long
time. He's connected to the fabricof this nation. And now we're gonna
have to the next Pat Say Jack, Pat Say Jack four point zero.
(01:06):
More on that in a moment,but first, here is the farewell tour
essentially that Pat's Pat Sajack is onas he says goodbye to Wheel. Dad.
You're right, say Jack, BangJack bark boring everyone, Welcome to
the Wheel of Fortune. After fortyone seasons in more than eight thousand episodes,
(01:30):
Behind the Wheel three Jack and Bythe way. He started right here
in Los Angeles. Many of theolder boys and girls will remember watching Pat
Say Jack on Channel four. Hewas the weather guy, and he used
to do the weather in a differentway than you see a lot of the
weather done now. Now you havepeople standing up in front of the mat.
(01:53):
That's the way I did it that, you know, pointing the things,
not the way it was done.When Sage was the weather guy on
Channel four. He would sit thereand they would just put the satellite pictures
up almost like graphics behind him,and he just read it. It was
wild. But anyway, he startedright here in Los Angeles as a weather
(02:13):
guy, and then MERV Griffin tappedhim to be a host of Wheels.
Pat Say Jack preparing for his finalspin, Oh hang out on that sounding
signed running out under on Wheel ofFortune this Friday, the show he helped
make must watch Family TV. Theyhave a million dollar Winner, GMA getting
(02:36):
an exclusive first look as he satdown to talk retirement with his daughter,
Maggie, the show's social correspondent.Well here we are, well great.
How great is that? When youcan employ your daughter You can say,
well, I think the show needsa social correspondent, really, Pat I
(02:57):
don't think so. I think thegame has really pretty much been the Wheel
and people guess and then they winprizes. I don't think we need a
social correspondent. Well, it's funnybecause I really think we need a social
experiment, a correspondent, and I'mthe host of the show, Pat Sayjack,
Well, all right, I meanwho could do that? I mean
a social correspondent? What jip inmind? Well, it's funny. I
(03:20):
did have somebody in mind. Ithappens to be right in my own house.
My daughter is going to Wow,that is really a piece of luck.
So what a tremendous opportunity for usto help out your daughter and get
a social college. Here we are, the last week of shows for you
on Wheel. How do you feel? It's surprisingly okay? You know this
(03:42):
was announced a long time. Italmost a year ago, so I've had
time to sort of get used toit, and it's been a little bit
wistful and all that. But I'menjoying it and taking it all in and
reflecting on a great run. Ido know that somewhere along the line we
became more than a popular show.We became part of the popular culture,
and more importantly, we became partof people's lives, and that's been awfully
gratifying. Pat now reflecting on whyhe's ready to leave the hit show behind,
(04:06):
what means you decide that he much? He was ready to leave this
show behind about ten years ago,But there were I don't know forty or
fifty million reasons a year not toleave this showIn Am I wrong? People?
No? What means you decide thatthis is the right time for you
to leave the show? I've alwayssaid to you. You've heard me say
(04:28):
this dozens of times. I'd ratherleave a couple of years too early than
a couple of years too late.Could I still do it? Yeah?
I think I could for a while. There's also some other things in the
life that we'd like to do.And I'm enjoying this last year. It's
been a great forty years, andI'm looking forward to whatever is ahead.
So who do you replace? Pat? Say Jack with my God's invite The
(04:49):
NUMBERSUS Sharrier. In forty one yearswe were Fortune has given away almost six
hundred cars, nearly five thousand vacations, more than three hundred twenty four dollars
million dollars in cash and prizes,a white has walked the equivalent of two
marathons between those little fifty two miles. Wow, fifty two miles. We're
all excited, we're all downcast,and yet we congratulate him on a great
(05:13):
career. There at Wheel, somany people vying for that job. You
would have been so good for thatdude, who's that you bought? But
I just told him, well,that's really nice. Seriously, it was
gameshow host? Was that a goal? Or I did have a show?
(05:33):
It was what are you talking about? It was a heartbreak. That story.
Maybe I'll tell you. We'll takea break and i'll tell you that
story. I'll keep it brief andI'll keep it tight. But I did
have a show, and we actuallywent to taping and then something just awful
happened. But it was it wasa show with great promise, and then
(05:57):
it the promise just evaporated. Yearscame out. I wish, I wish
I could take responsibility for its failure, But sadly it was circumstance, as
you shall hear. But the answeras to who will replace Pat, of
course, is right here in thisbuilding. At least occasionally he's in the
building. Really okay, he's neverbeen in the building. But the point
(06:20):
is he couldn't find the building ona map. But why why come to
the building when you don't have to. He's the great Ryan Seacrest and he
will replace Pat. And it's niceto see that Ryan's getting some work.
So when we come back again,my world has been marked by heartbreak,
(06:42):
many great pray. I don't meanto make up about myself. We all
experience this in our lives. Somethinggreat happen, you think, wow,
this is it, and then somethingunexpected happens and it takes that this is
it and it derails it. Butmy big thing was this insanely huge game
show and I was the host.And I'll tell you what happened when we
(07:04):
come back. It's the Conways Show. Still sad though, if I can
just say it, I'm still processingthe loss of Pat on Wheel. But
as we do, I will sharethose details of my experience. You're listening
to Tim Conway Junior on demand fromKFI AM six forty. I'll tell you
(07:26):
we have Well, there hasn't beenanother quake and it hits near Newport Beach.
Newport Beach is the residents are closeto the residents I think of our
own Angel Martinez, whose birthday itis today. What's up? Angel?
(07:46):
What a way to bring in yourbirthday with a little quake action this try.
We're rocking and rolling. No reportsof damage or injuries from the quake
that I don't know how the birthdaycelebration is going to go down, but
they're I think they're still collecting alot of information from us. This will
(08:07):
get clarified because the USS their website, they're showing that there were actually two
quakes that hit within fifteen minutes ofeach other, almost within a kilometer of
each other in Newport Beach. Geez, yeah, three four to three six.
The three six they're saying hit justbefore the top of the hour,
and then the three fourth just after. It seems a little bit weird because
you would think that they might maybethey're talking about the same one somehow and
they doubled up on the site.But the fact that it's fifteen minutes apart
(08:30):
is a little bit. This isa seismically active week for your birthday,
Angel Martinez, you know what Imean? Like that's right? You know,
I have an earthquake game that everybodycan play along with. If you
have some bets that you want tomake with friends, or no bets at
all. I'm not suggesting you startgambling at all. But when an earthquake
(08:52):
hits, my friends and I wouldalways bet on which earthquake fault Just cut
loose. And one of the waysthat you can tell big brain exercise,
that is, you and your othergeologist friends would bet which earthquake fault was
a place. It's my rocket scientistfriends, of course. Yeah, no,
(09:15):
I'm kidding. But one of thethings that you can do is like
look at a body of water,like a pool for example. I think
a nocean is too big for this, but you can tell what way the
shock waves were rolling by the directionof the waves in the pool, of
course. Yeah. And so myguess for this one that just hit a
Newport is the Newport Inglewood fault.Oh well, Michael Krozer is as close
(09:39):
to a seismologist as we have inour group. Now, come on,
it's not my birthday. What doyou do. I'm not saying you have
to have the answer at the ready, but maybe at some point sure as
more details come in when we doyeah, okay, so doctor Lucy on
the phone, Come on, MarkLindsay, just did so calculations instead.
(10:01):
This is like the eighth earthquake we'vehad in a week. Yeah, I
went and I looked and I counted. It looks like eight above two point
five. Wow, since June second. This is concerning. Aren't you concerned
about that? Lindsay, I'm prettyconcerned. Yeah. I don't really mind
earthquakes, but you know, ifthey get any bigger, well, I
(10:22):
don't mind it when they're when they'retwo point five or three point two,
that's fine. Yeah, anything aboutfour, we're not rocking with that.
Non Angel's birthday. Yeah, thisis a three point six, they're saying
again, just to reiterate, andit has struck and as Krozer says,
they report now kind of two inrapid succession in the same area. We're
(10:43):
still trying to get clarification on that, but in any case, they're in
that three point six magnitude area andthey're in the literal area of Newport Beach.
Wow, a recorded depth of nearlyeight miles, said the USGS.
Gosh, well, there's a lotof stuff going on. Angel. You
(11:03):
know, it's exciting on your birthdayto have a little action. This is
exactly the action we want and thankyou for the swimming pool tip. I
had no idea. Sure, howfun with it. Hey, I've got
a question about you before we gotoo far away from Donald Sterling. Yeah,
(11:24):
is it true that you know afteryou and Shelley went out a time
or two that she ran back toDonald. It's funny. I didn't mention
this before, but Angel's talking aboutis that during the time of the Donald
Sterling meltdown where that tape was releasedand they were talking about the Sterlings were
(11:45):
particularly shelley divorce that I had mentionedon the air as the divorce seemed to
be imminent and I thought she waskind of cute, and people, I
don't think it was literally Michael Krozer, but people in that kind of because
I said it on the air.Whoever was doing news, might have been
(12:07):
Chris Little, I forget exactly whoit was. Said you only like Shelley
Sterling because she's super wealthy, andshe's going to be wealthy and single now
that she'll be divorced, to whichI said, how dare you suggest that
I don't legitimately have romantic feelings forShelley Sterling. Well, I didn't know
(12:28):
Shelley Sterling. But Angel is rightout of the blue. I was invited
to Shelley Sterling's poker game, andI went and we hit it off,
and Shelley Sterling invited me to aClippers game and I set center court next
to Shelley Sterling. Only time I'veever been on the floor of a basketball
(12:52):
game sitting center court was with ShelleySterling. She was not with I don't
know where Donald Sterling was or whatthe situation with their relationship was. As
I said, say, they wereadvertising at the time a pretty brutal,
you know, affair he was havingand a divorce that might be imminent.
But that was the extent of it. We didn't really see each other beyond
that. Angel, So I don'tknow what you heard. But what did
(13:15):
you guys talk about? It's agood question. I don't remember. Did
you have a color baby? How'sher poker game? Our poker game was
not The game itself is kind oflike a bro down game where people are
looking at each other's cards and helpingeach other, and like, you don't
mind it when somebody's something on thenovice side, but you know when there's
(13:39):
and there were people there were noteven Shelley herself. I didn't mind if
Shelley got helped from somebody, youknow, but but it was that kind
of game. If that stuff bothersyou, then it wasn't the game for
you, you know. But itwas weird because there were people there who
are real card players, and thenthere was that kind of thing where everybody's
looking at each other, you know, can I can I help Shelley with
her hand? Can I help soand so with his hand? So at
(14:00):
some point you just went, so, we're not serious here, right,
Well, it wasn't no, like, it wasn't just incidental money. The
money was big enough that, youknow, at some point you got to
go, guys, are we playinghere or are we just you know?
So so see you doing that too. I did not know. I did
not say it, although maybe Iacted it. You know. It was
(14:22):
actually very pleasant, it really was. I mean, I'd never met her,
and she was delightful, you know, and how great of her to
take me to a Clippers game.I felt like like a make a wish
kid, you know, I'm downthere at center court. It's like holy
and this is it? This isit? Put any of her of your
moves on her, I did thatthing where you stretched like, Yeah,
(14:46):
anyway, great story, good goodluck to Shelley. Thank you Angel on
your birthday for remembering that that show. Yeah, Shelly Sterling, Yeah,
Angel, thank you. Pretty prettyyou're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on demand
from KFI AM six forty. Sharonand I were both concerned about this story
(15:11):
since it's something that I think alot of us are sort of drawn to.
That something is sugar. Sugar isapparently unlike anything else when it comes
to lighting up parts of the brainthat make us feel good. And so
(15:31):
even though we know we're not supposedto eat these ultra processed foods with high
sugar amounts, there is a waythat they draw us to them. I
mean, I'm talking about donuts andI mean you fill in the blank here.
And the reason they draw us tothose various substance this is because they've
(15:58):
got high sugars that are processed injust the right way to hit us with
sort of an addictive bullseye, youknow. So the bad part of that
is it leads to you know,diabetes and all of that. This is
why it's coming to light. Andthey even talk about sugar as a potential
(16:18):
almost fertilizer for bad things in thebody aside from diabetes, like you know,
cancers and stuff like that. Butthis is interesting because Krispy Kreme donuts,
which are a slice of heaven,I think, and there are people
who for some reason push back onthe Krispy Kremes, but I think they're
(16:38):
like in a class by themselves.But they talk in this piece about how
addictive sugar is. They talk aboutsomeone who is so addicted to Krispy Kreme
that even though they have type twodiabetes and they're in the care of a
(17:00):
physician for type two diabetes, andeven the way the physician talks to them
about Krispy Creme and how it's essentiallypoisoned for them anyway, they couldn't stop
driving out of their way this patientto get Krispy Kreme daily. It was
a compulsion they couldn't control. Andwhen you add mood altering effects, which
(17:27):
is what sugar does, and thereis a real hard mountain to climb when
it comes to getting out from undersugar, it's pretty brutal. It's a
sugar addiction. And apparently this countryis one of the prime offenders when it
comes to being filled with addicts,Americans have a sweet tooth. On average,
(17:51):
we eat more than one hundred poundsof sugar per person each year.
That's more than three times the recommendedamount by the Food and Drug Administration.
And it's not just candy, snacksand soda. Hidden sugars in things like
processed food, cereal, salad,dressing, and even yogurt are adding to
our sugar intake. And in arecent Time magazine you don't think of yogurt
(18:15):
as having it even when you tryto steer healthy, you're actually feeding this
addiction sugar intake. And in arecent Time magazine article, doctor Mark Hyman
says it's time to treat sugar likecigarettes. He's sugar the new tobacco.
Sugar, for sure is the newtobacco. He's leading a movement to take
the mystery out of what we eatby clearly labeling sugar on the front of
(18:37):
food packaging. Or we see risingrates of diabetes, of heart disease,
of cancer, dementia, all linkedto a higher consumption of sugar, and
these are crippling America. Do youthink putting something as simple as a label
on the front is going to changethe way consumers eat. Absolutely. I
think people make choices basically. Yeah, I mean that's a long haul process
(18:59):
though, I mean, come on, it's not. I get what you
mean when you say it's like smoking, because it's addictive like smoking. So
I get that part of it.But when it comes time to push back
from it, look at what we'vejust talked about and what they talk about
in this piece. It's everywhere.I mean, cigarettes weren't everywhere you could
stop. I mean, it isaddictive. You needed help, you needed
(19:22):
h hypnosis, or you needed thepatch, or you needed whatever the gum.
But here you're talking about something thatis infused in everything and it's bad.
So you're telling me it's bad,but it's into everything. I just
see it as a Look. I'mnot trying to give people or give myself
an excuse, but it's not fairto look at it as smoking. What
(19:48):
in any other way than it's addictivepowers sugar. Absolutely, I think people
make choices based on what to leave. They buy low fat foods, they
buy you know, high fiber foods. Data those labels are having an impact.
A study looking at twenty three hundredfamilies food and drink purchases found that
overall calories bought from products required tohave warnings dropped by twenty three percent.
(20:11):
Overall sugar bought from those foods decreaseby twenty six percent. In New York
City, as part of the City'sSweet Truth Act, a new rule would
require food chains and coffee shops withfifteen or more stores in the US to
use a warning icon to let consumersknow eating too many added sugars can contribute
to type two diabetes and weight gain. Well, that the way, I
(20:33):
do think it's possible that over time, the next generation, almost in the
same way smoking took an entire generationreally to get passed. I think it's
possible that the next generation has ashot at this because of labeling, and
they're already sharper about certain things inthe environment and environmental toxins and this kind
(20:55):
of thing. But wow, it'sreally hard for just the reasons that they
say, because it's everywhere. Ithink, you know, the simple sweetness
aspect throws people off. They justassume that if it's a sweet food,
it could or does have sugar init. But the quantity of savory,
non sweet foods that have sugar inthem are just astronomical, and like you
(21:17):
say, you don't know when theuh my wife just kind of goes on
off this one diet. I forgetwhat it's called, but it's but it's
basically no sugar diet, and itmeans for a while, at least the
beginning of it, you're not evenallowed to have like fruits, which are
natural sugar. Sure, Sure,and you slowly build up to that.
But the whole idea is I thinkit's called like first thirty or something like
(21:37):
that. So for thirty days youdon't have any sugars. That means no
corn, no flowers, not evena lot of grains you know, couscous
things like that that have like sugarsin them naturally and added it's it's once
you kind of get into that mindsetof looking for it, it's unbelievable how
much you see sugar in everything.Oh, that's such an interesting way to
get off it, too, liketo go for a thirty day cleanse essentially,
(22:00):
and then you slowly reintroduce it.I think that's usually the way these
diets work. And even then thenatural sugars that you're reintroducing, sure that
are easier for your body to metabolize. Yeah, and they're telling you just
don't ever go back to the processedsugar. It's so hard though, because
the ubiquity of it. It's justeverywhere, you know. But that's wild,
(22:21):
all right, So Merry Christmas,everybody, just don't have the cookies.
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior ondemand from KFI AM six forty.
Mark Thompson here for Tim Conway Juniorwith all the Conway kids. Speaking of
kids, none of you saw that. Alec Baldwin, who has had his
(22:45):
share, i'd say, in thelast couple of years of issues of one
sort or another, has decided totake his world of life behind the camera
to reality shows. A new showplanned on TLC that features Alec Baldwin and
his wife, who herself is sortof an ongoing weird tale, meaning,
(23:11):
you know, she had this fauxSpanish accent and she there was a sense
that she, you know, Englishwasn't her first language. Of course,
she, as it turns out,was raised around Boston and went to school
there, and there was that wholeweird thing I mean, and again sort
of okay whatever, they have sevenchildren, okay together, seven child I
(23:37):
think he has eight kids because hehas one child with his first wife.
Was it Daryl Hannah was a camBESHI thank you his daughter Ireland. Yeah,
exactly so. But now you haveseven kids. And by the way,
the sixth child, while she waspregnant with the sixth child, they
had already contracted with a surrogate tohave another child. I didn't know that.
(24:03):
Yeah, so the seventh child isactually the surrogate child, and they
have birthdays the sixth and seventh,and then close to each other. Anyway,
So I'm just suggesting there's a lotgoing on. Look, I've left
out the you know, involuntary manslaughtercharges and all the stuff that happen on
the set of Rush. I'm justtalking about their family life. So into
(24:23):
all of that comes this apparent planto bring some of this mayhem. I
mean, seven kids in the BestHouse has its degree of mayhem in the
Baldwin house, and a lot ofthose kids are boys. I'm thinking it
is going to be nuts. WithBaldwin's announcement, we have an announcement Sea
(24:48):
we are he and his wife Hilariawelcoming cameras into their lives as the Emmy
winning actor faces charges for involuntary manslaughter. We're inviting you into our homes and
experience the ups and downs and thecrazy. The couple announcing their new series
on Instagram, aptly titled The Baldwins. I've got to think that this is
(25:12):
something I've got to think this issomething she wants to do, right,
Yeah, this is not something thathe wants to do unless financial support.
Well that that and there's the Somepeople are saying that it could be to
show like that he's the he's sortof a sympathetic figure. Oh I shave
(25:33):
for trial for the jury. He'sgot seven kids, and it just shows
a more human aspect of him andI see, Yeah, Okay, maybe
coming to TLC in twenty twenty five. I got used to that sound.
There's gonna be a lot of that. Seven Kids in the Baldwin House.
(25:56):
The series will feature the longtime pairsseven children and ranging from nineteen months to
age ten. Ugh, WHA,that is its own circle of hell.
You cannot tell me that any ofyou would sign up for that, ranging
from nineteen months to age ten,TLC saying about the project for the first
(26:19):
time, they're opening up their familylives and bringing everyone in to join in
the NonStop love, laughter and drama. Okay, all right. The announcement
coming as Baldwin's criminal trial is slatedto start in July for his role in
(26:42):
the fatal shooting of cinematographer Helena Hutchinson the set of Rust in twenty twenty
one. If he talks about anythingthat's related to the incident, it can
be used as trial. But thelikelihood of that is very slim. I
don't think you'll be able to hearhim over the seven kids, to be
honest, it doesn't I don't thinkwe're going to know what he's talking about
a lot of the time. Baldwinentering a not guilty please, claiming it
(27:06):
was not his job to handle gunsafety. The actor producer adamant he never
pulled the trigger, stating so inhis exclusive interview with Our George Stephanopolis.
So you never pulled the trigger.No, no, no, no no.
I would never point a gun oneand pull a trigger at them.
Never. Never. That was thetraining that I had. You don't point
a gunness and pull trigger. Thefilm's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, sentenced to
(27:27):
eighteen months behind bars after being foundguilty for involuntary manslaughter in March. That's
weird that they are finishing that moviefor real, that the Rust film is
going to hit theaters at some pointthis week. Prosecutors requesting the court compel
her to testify against Baldwin. Theway the jury may perceive all that Alec
(27:48):
Baldwin has going on, with thecharges being dropped, with them being reinstated,
and the reality show is really goingto fall upon the juror do they
see this as a contrived effort togarnish support or do they see this as
just someone continuing with their day today life despite the circumstances that they've been
with. No, that's interesting too. I know you're thinking, well,
(28:08):
how is this going to affect matchgame? Will he still do match game?
You can shoot a whole season's worththe match game in a weekend,
and Alec Baldwin, he's got thematch game. He's got now his TLC
show with his slightly eccentric wife.I'll put it that way. He himself,
(28:29):
I would suggest it somewhat eccentric andseven kids running around. I can't
wait to see it. It maybe my new favorite thing when it comes
out. It's the Conway Show.Dean Sharp joins us in the next hour,
and we have a special treat nexthour as well. Mark Thompson sitting
(28:52):

(00:43):

time. He's connected to the fabricof this nation. And now we're gonna
have to the next Pat Say Jack, Pat Say Jack four point zero.
(01:06):

essentially that Pat's Pat Sajack is onas he says goodbye to Wheel. Dad.
You're right, say Jack, BangJack bark boring everyone, Welcome to

(01:30):
Behind the Wheel three Jack and Bythe way. He started right here
in Los Angeles. Many of theolder boys and girls will remember watching Pat
Say Jack on Channel four. Hewas the weather guy, and he used
to do the weather in a differentway than you see a lot of the
weather done now. Now you havepeople standing up in front of the mat.
(01:53):
That's the way I did it that, you know, pointing the things,
not the way it was done.When Sage was the weather guy on
Channel four. He would sit thereand they would just put the satellite pictures
up almost like graphics behind him,and he just read it. It was
wild. But anyway, he startedright here in Los Angeles as a weather
(02:13):

Pat Say Jack preparing for his finalspin, Oh hang out on that sounding
signed running out under on Wheel ofFortune this Friday, the show he helped

Maggie, the show's social correspondent.Well here we are, well great.
How great is that? When youcan employ your daughter You can say,
well, I think the show needsa social correspondent, really, Pat I
(02:57):
don't think so. I think thegame has really pretty much been the Wheel
and people guess and then they winprizes. I don't think we need a
social correspondent. Well, it's funnybecause I really think we need a social
experiment, a correspondent, and I'mthe host of the show, Pat Sayjack,
Well, all right, I meanwho could do that? I mean
a social correspondent? What jip inmind? Well, it's funny. I
(03:20):
did have somebody in mind. Ithappens to be right in my own house.
My daughter is going to Wow,that is really a piece of luck.
So what a tremendous opportunity for usto help out your daughter and get
a social college. Here we are, the last week of shows for you
on Wheel. How do you feel? It's surprisingly okay? You know this
(03:42):
was announced a long time. Italmost a year ago, so I've had
time to sort of get used toit, and it's been a little bit
wistful and all that. But I'menjoying it and taking it all in and
reflecting on a great run. Ido know that somewhere along the line we
became more than a popular show.We became part of the popular culture,
and more importantly, we became partof people's lives, and that's been awfully
gratifying. Pat now reflecting on whyhe's ready to leave the hit show behind,
(04:06):
what means you decide that he much? He was ready to leave this
show behind about ten years ago,But there were I don't know forty or
fifty million reasons a year not toleave this showIn Am I wrong? People?
No? What means you decide thatthis is the right time for you
to leave the show? I've alwayssaid to you. You've heard me say
(04:28):
this dozens of times. I'd ratherleave a couple of years too early than
a couple of years too late.Could I still do it? Yeah?
I think I could for a while. There's also some other things in the
life that we'd like to do.And I'm enjoying this last year. It's
been a great forty years, andI'm looking forward to whatever is ahead.
So who do you replace? Pat? Say Jack with my God's invite The
(04:49):
NUMBERSUS Sharrier. In forty one yearswe were Fortune has given away almost six
hundred cars, nearly five thousand vacations, more than three hundred twenty four dollars
million dollars in cash and prizes,a white has walked the equivalent of two
marathons between those little fifty two miles. Wow, fifty two miles. We're
all excited, we're all downcast,and yet we congratulate him on a great
(05:13):
career. There at Wheel, somany people vying for that job. You
would have been so good for thatdude, who's that you bought? But
I just told him, well,that's really nice. Seriously, it was
gameshow host? Was that a goal? Or I did have a show?
(05:33):
It was what are you talking about? It was a heartbreak. That story.
Maybe I'll tell you. We'll takea break and i'll tell you that
story. I'll keep it brief andI'll keep it tight. But I did
have a show, and we actuallywent to taping and then something just awful
happened. But it was it wasa show with great promise, and then
(05:57):
it the promise just evaporated. Yearscame out. I wish, I wish
I could take responsibility for its failure, But sadly it was circumstance, as
you shall hear. But the answeras to who will replace Pat, of
course, is right here in thisbuilding. At least occasionally he's in the
building. Really okay, he's neverbeen in the building. But the point
(06:20):
is he couldn't find the building ona map. But why why come to
the building when you don't have to. He's the great Ryan Seacrest and he
will replace Pat. And it's niceto see that Ryan's getting some work.
So when we come back again,my world has been marked by heartbreak,
(06:42):
many great pray. I don't meanto make up about myself. We all
experience this in our lives. Somethinggreat happen, you think, wow,
this is it, and then somethingunexpected happens and it takes that this is
it and it derails it. Butmy big thing was this insanely huge game
show and I was the host.And I'll tell you what happened when we
(07:04):
come back. It's the Conways Show. Still sad though, if I can
just say it, I'm still processingthe loss of Pat on Wheel. But
as we do, I will sharethose details of my experience. You're listening
to Tim Conway Junior on demand fromKFI AM six forty. I'll tell you
(07:26):
we have Well, there hasn't beenanother quake and it hits near Newport Beach.
Newport Beach is the residents are closeto the residents I think of our
own Angel Martinez, whose birthday itis today. What's up? Angel?
(07:46):
What a way to bring in yourbirthday with a little quake action this try.
We're rocking and rolling. No reportsof damage or injuries from the quake
that I don't know how the birthdaycelebration is going to go down, but
they're I think they're still collecting alot of information from us. This will
(08:07):
get clarified because the USS their website, they're showing that there were actually two
quakes that hit within fifteen minutes ofeach other, almost within a kilometer of
each other in Newport Beach. Geez, yeah, three four to three six.
The three six they're saying hit justbefore the top of the hour,
and then the three fourth just after. It seems a little bit weird because
you would think that they might maybethey're talking about the same one somehow and
they doubled up on the site.But the fact that it's fifteen minutes apart
(08:30):
is a little bit. This isa seismically active week for your birthday,
Angel Martinez, you know what Imean? Like that's right? You know,
I have an earthquake game that everybodycan play along with. If you
have some bets that you want tomake with friends, or no bets at
all. I'm not suggesting you startgambling at all. But when an earthquake
(08:52):
hits, my friends and I wouldalways bet on which earthquake fault Just cut
loose. And one of the waysthat you can tell big brain exercise,
that is, you and your othergeologist friends would bet which earthquake fault was
a place. It's my rocket scientistfriends, of course. Yeah, no,
(09:15):
I'm kidding. But one of thethings that you can do is like
look at a body of water,like a pool for example. I think
a nocean is too big for this, but you can tell what way the
shock waves were rolling by the directionof the waves in the pool, of
course. Yeah. And so myguess for this one that just hit a
Newport is the Newport Inglewood fault.Oh well, Michael Krozer is as close
(09:39):
to a seismologist as we have inour group. Now, come on,
it's not my birthday. What doyou do. I'm not saying you have
to have the answer at the ready, but maybe at some point sure as
more details come in when we doyeah, okay, so doctor Lucy on
the phone, Come on, MarkLindsay, just did so calculations instead.
(10:01):
This is like the eighth earthquake we'vehad in a week. Yeah, I
went and I looked and I counted. It looks like eight above two point
five. Wow, since June second. This is concerning. Aren't you concerned
about that? Lindsay, I'm prettyconcerned. Yeah. I don't really mind
earthquakes, but you know, ifthey get any bigger, well, I
(10:22):
don't mind it when they're when they'retwo point five or three point two,
that's fine. Yeah, anything aboutfour, we're not rocking with that.
Non Angel's birthday. Yeah, thisis a three point six, they're saying
again, just to reiterate, andit has struck and as Krozer says,
they report now kind of two inrapid succession in the same area. We're
(10:43):
still trying to get clarification on that, but in any case, they're in
that three point six magnitude area andthey're in the literal area of Newport Beach.
Wow, a recorded depth of nearlyeight miles, said the USGS.
Gosh, well, there's a lotof stuff going on. Angel. You
(11:03):
know, it's exciting on your birthdayto have a little action. This is
exactly the action we want and thankyou for the swimming pool tip. I
had no idea. Sure, howfun with it. Hey, I've got
a question about you before we gotoo far away from Donald Sterling. Yeah,
(11:24):
is it true that you know afteryou and Shelley went out a time
or two that she ran back toDonald. It's funny. I didn't mention
this before, but Angel's talking aboutis that during the time of the Donald
Sterling meltdown where that tape was releasedand they were talking about the Sterlings were
(11:45):
particularly shelley divorce that I had mentionedon the air as the divorce seemed to
be imminent and I thought she waskind of cute, and people, I
don't think it was literally Michael Krozer, but people in that kind of because
I said it on the air.Whoever was doing news, might have been
(12:07):
Chris Little, I forget exactly whoit was. Said you only like Shelley
Sterling because she's super wealthy, andshe's going to be wealthy and single now
that she'll be divorced, to whichI said, how dare you suggest that
I don't legitimately have romantic feelings forShelley Sterling. Well, I didn't know
(12:28):
Shelley Sterling. But Angel is rightout of the blue. I was invited
to Shelley Sterling's poker game, andI went and we hit it off,
and Shelley Sterling invited me to aClippers game and I set center court next
to Shelley Sterling. Only time I'veever been on the floor of a basketball
(12:52):
game sitting center court was with ShelleySterling. She was not with I don't
know where Donald Sterling was or whatthe situation with their relationship was. As
I said, say, they wereadvertising at the time a pretty brutal,
you know, affair he was havingand a divorce that might be imminent.
But that was the extent of it. We didn't really see each other beyond
that. Angel, So I don'tknow what you heard. But what did
(13:15):
you guys talk about? It's agood question. I don't remember. Did
you have a color baby? How'sher poker game? Our poker game was
not The game itself is kind oflike a bro down game where people are
looking at each other's cards and helpingeach other, and like, you don't
mind it when somebody's something on thenovice side, but you know when there's
(13:39):
and there were people there were noteven Shelley herself. I didn't mind if
Shelley got helped from somebody, youknow, but but it was that kind
of game. If that stuff bothersyou, then it wasn't the game for
you, you know. But itwas weird because there were people there who
are real card players, and thenthere was that kind of thing where everybody's
looking at each other, you know, can I can I help Shelley with
her hand? Can I help soand so with his hand? So at
(14:00):
some point you just went, so, we're not serious here, right,
Well, it wasn't no, like, it wasn't just incidental money. The
money was big enough that, youknow, at some point you got to
go, guys, are we playinghere or are we just you know?
So so see you doing that too. I did not know. I did
not say it, although maybe Iacted it. You know. It was
(14:22):
actually very pleasant, it really was. I mean, I'd never met her,
and she was delightful, you know, and how great of her to
take me to a Clippers game.I felt like like a make a wish
kid, you know, I'm downthere at center court. It's like holy
and this is it? This isit? Put any of her of your
moves on her, I did thatthing where you stretched like, Yeah,
(14:46):
anyway, great story, good goodluck to Shelley. Thank you Angel on
your birthday for remembering that that show. Yeah, Shelly Sterling, Yeah,
Angel, thank you. Pretty prettyyou're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on demand
from KFI AM six forty. Sharonand I were both concerned about this story
(15:11):
since it's something that I think alot of us are sort of drawn to.
That something is sugar. Sugar isapparently unlike anything else when it comes
to lighting up parts of the brainthat make us feel good. And so
(15:31):
even though we know we're not supposedto eat these ultra processed foods with high
sugar amounts, there is a waythat they draw us to them. I
mean, I'm talking about donuts andI mean you fill in the blank here.
And the reason they draw us tothose various substance this is because they've
(15:58):
got high sugars that are processed injust the right way to hit us with
sort of an addictive bullseye, youknow. So the bad part of that
is it leads to you know,diabetes and all of that. This is
why it's coming to light. Andthey even talk about sugar as a potential
(16:18):
almost fertilizer for bad things in thebody aside from diabetes, like you know,
cancers and stuff like that. Butthis is interesting because Krispy Kreme donuts,
which are a slice of heaven,I think, and there are people
who for some reason push back onthe Krispy Kremes, but I think they're
(16:38):
like in a class by themselves.But they talk in this piece about how
addictive sugar is. They talk aboutsomeone who is so addicted to Krispy Kreme
that even though they have type twodiabetes and they're in the care of a
(17:00):
physician for type two diabetes, andeven the way the physician talks to them
about Krispy Creme and how it's essentiallypoisoned for them anyway, they couldn't stop
driving out of their way this patientto get Krispy Kreme daily. It was
a compulsion they couldn't control. Andwhen you add mood altering effects, which
(17:27):
is what sugar does, and thereis a real hard mountain to climb when
it comes to getting out from undersugar, it's pretty brutal. It's a
sugar addiction. And apparently this countryis one of the prime offenders when it
comes to being filled with addicts,Americans have a sweet tooth. On average,
(17:51):
we eat more than one hundred poundsof sugar per person each year.
That's more than three times the recommendedamount by the Food and Drug Administration.
And it's not just candy, snacksand soda. Hidden sugars in things like
processed food, cereal, salad,dressing, and even yogurt are adding to
our sugar intake. And in arecent Time magazine you don't think of yogurt
(18:15):
as having it even when you tryto steer healthy, you're actually feeding this
addiction sugar intake. And in arecent Time magazine article, doctor Mark Hyman
says it's time to treat sugar likecigarettes. He's sugar the new tobacco.
Sugar, for sure is the newtobacco. He's leading a movement to take
the mystery out of what we eatby clearly labeling sugar on the front of
(18:37):
food packaging. Or we see risingrates of diabetes, of heart disease,
of cancer, dementia, all linkedto a higher consumption of sugar, and
these are crippling America. Do youthink putting something as simple as a label
on the front is going to changethe way consumers eat. Absolutely. I
think people make choices basically. Yeah, I mean that's a long haul process
(18:59):
though, I mean, come on, it's not. I get what you
mean when you say it's like smoking, because it's addictive like smoking. So
I get that part of it.But when it comes time to push back
from it, look at what we'vejust talked about and what they talk about
in this piece. It's everywhere.I mean, cigarettes weren't everywhere you could
stop. I mean, it isaddictive. You needed help, you needed
(19:22):
h hypnosis, or you needed thepatch, or you needed whatever the gum.
But here you're talking about something thatis infused in everything and it's bad.
So you're telling me it's bad,but it's into everything. I just
see it as a Look. I'mnot trying to give people or give myself
an excuse, but it's not fairto look at it as smoking. What
(19:48):
in any other way than it's addictivepowers sugar. Absolutely, I think people
make choices based on what to leave. They buy low fat foods, they
buy you know, high fiber foods. Data those labels are having an impact.
A study looking at twenty three hundredfamilies food and drink purchases found that
overall calories bought from products required tohave warnings dropped by twenty three percent.
(20:11):
Overall sugar bought from those foods decreaseby twenty six percent. In New York
City, as part of the City'sSweet Truth Act, a new rule would
require food chains and coffee shops withfifteen or more stores in the US to
use a warning icon to let consumersknow eating too many added sugars can contribute
to type two diabetes and weight gain. Well, that the way, I
(20:33):
do think it's possible that over time, the next generation, almost in the
same way smoking took an entire generationreally to get passed. I think it's
possible that the next generation has ashot at this because of labeling, and
they're already sharper about certain things inthe environment and environmental toxins and this kind
(20:55):
of thing. But wow, it'sreally hard for just the reasons that they
say, because it's everywhere. Ithink, you know, the simple sweetness
aspect throws people off. They justassume that if it's a sweet food,
it could or does have sugar init. But the quantity of savory,
non sweet foods that have sugar inthem are just astronomical, and like you
(21:17):
say, you don't know when theuh my wife just kind of goes on
off this one diet. I forgetwhat it's called, but it's but it's
basically no sugar diet, and itmeans for a while, at least the
beginning of it, you're not evenallowed to have like fruits, which are
natural sugar. Sure, Sure,and you slowly build up to that.
But the whole idea is I thinkit's called like first thirty or something like
(21:37):
that. So for thirty days youdon't have any sugars. That means no
corn, no flowers, not evena lot of grains you know, couscous
things like that that have like sugarsin them naturally and added it's it's once
you kind of get into that mindsetof looking for it, it's unbelievable how
much you see sugar in everything.Oh, that's such an interesting way to
get off it, too, liketo go for a thirty day cleanse essentially,
(22:00):
and then you slowly reintroduce it.I think that's usually the way these
diets work. And even then thenatural sugars that you're reintroducing, sure that
are easier for your body to metabolize. Yeah, and they're telling you just
don't ever go back to the processedsugar. It's so hard though, because
the ubiquity of it. It's justeverywhere, you know. But that's wild,
(22:21):
all right, So Merry Christmas,everybody, just don't have the cookies.
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior ondemand from KFI AM six forty.
Mark Thompson here for Tim Conway Juniorwith all the Conway kids. Speaking of
kids, none of you saw that. Alec Baldwin, who has had his
(22:45):
share, i'd say, in thelast couple of years of issues of one
sort or another, has decided totake his world of life behind the camera
to reality shows. A new showplanned on TLC that features Alec Baldwin and
his wife, who herself is sortof an ongoing weird tale, meaning,
(23:11):
you know, she had this fauxSpanish accent and she there was a sense
that she, you know, Englishwasn't her first language. Of course,
she, as it turns out,was raised around Boston and went to school
there, and there was that wholeweird thing I mean, and again sort
of okay whatever, they have sevenchildren, okay together, seven child I
(23:37):
think he has eight kids because hehas one child with his first wife.
Was it Daryl Hannah was a camBESHI thank you his daughter Ireland. Yeah,
exactly so. But now you haveseven kids. And by the way,
the sixth child, while she waspregnant with the sixth child, they
had already contracted with a surrogate tohave another child. I didn't know that.
(24:03):
Yeah, so the seventh child isactually the surrogate child, and they
have birthdays the sixth and seventh,and then close to each other. Anyway,
So I'm just suggesting there's a lotgoing on. Look, I've left
out the you know, involuntary manslaughtercharges and all the stuff that happen on
the set of Rush. I'm justtalking about their family life. So into
(24:23):
all of that comes this apparent planto bring some of this mayhem. I
mean, seven kids in the BestHouse has its degree of mayhem in the
Baldwin house, and a lot ofthose kids are boys. I'm thinking it
is going to be nuts. WithBaldwin's announcement, we have an announcement Sea
(24:48):
we are he and his wife Hilariawelcoming cameras into their lives as the Emmy
winning actor faces charges for involuntary manslaughter. We're inviting you into our homes and
experience the ups and downs and thecrazy. The couple announcing their new series
on Instagram, aptly titled The Baldwins. I've got to think that this is
(25:12):
something I've got to think this issomething she wants to do, right,
Yeah, this is not something thathe wants to do unless financial support.
Well that that and there's the Somepeople are saying that it could be to
show like that he's the he's sortof a sympathetic figure. Oh I shave
(25:33):
for trial for the jury. He'sgot seven kids, and it just shows
a more human aspect of him andI see, Yeah, Okay, maybe
coming to TLC in twenty twenty five. I got used to that sound.
There's gonna be a lot of that. Seven Kids in the Baldwin House.
(25:56):
The series will feature the longtime pairsseven children and ranging from nineteen months to
age ten. Ugh, WHA,that is its own circle of hell.
You cannot tell me that any ofyou would sign up for that, ranging
from nineteen months to age ten,TLC saying about the project for the first
(26:19):
time, they're opening up their familylives and bringing everyone in to join in
the NonStop love, laughter and drama. Okay, all right. The announcement
coming as Baldwin's criminal trial is slatedto start in July for his role in
(26:42):
the fatal shooting of cinematographer Helena Hutchinson the set of Rust in twenty twenty
one. If he talks about anythingthat's related to the incident, it can
be used as trial. But thelikelihood of that is very slim. I
don't think you'll be able to hearhim over the seven kids, to be
honest, it doesn't I don't thinkwe're going to know what he's talking about
a lot of the time. Baldwinentering a not guilty please, claiming it
(27:06):
was not his job to handle gunsafety. The actor producer adamant he never
pulled the trigger, stating so inhis exclusive interview with Our George Stephanopolis.
So you never pulled the trigger.No, no, no, no no.
I would never point a gun oneand pull a trigger at them.
Never. Never. That was thetraining that I had. You don't point
a gunness and pull trigger. Thefilm's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, sentenced to
(27:27):
eighteen months behind bars after being foundguilty for involuntary manslaughter in March. That's
weird that they are finishing that moviefor real, that the Rust film is
going to hit theaters at some pointthis week. Prosecutors requesting the court compel
her to testify against Baldwin. Theway the jury may perceive all that Alec
(27:48):
Baldwin has going on, with thecharges being dropped, with them being reinstated,
and the reality show is really goingto fall upon the juror do they
see this as a contrived effort togarnish support or do they see this as
just someone continuing with their day today life despite the circumstances that they've been
with. No, that's interesting too. I know you're thinking, well,
(28:08):
how is this going to affect matchgame? Will he still do match game?
You can shoot a whole season's worththe match game in a weekend,
and Alec Baldwin, he's got thematch game. He's got now his TLC
show with his slightly eccentric wife.I'll put it that way. He himself,
(28:29):
I would suggest it somewhat eccentric andseven kids running around. I can't
wait to see it. It maybe my new favorite thing when it comes
out. It's the Conway Show.Dean Sharp joins us in the next hour,
and we have a special treat nexthour as well. Mark Thompson sitting
