Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
we have some bad news coming out of Italy. I
saw this news store today and I loosely followed the
story of this guy, Mike Lynch because I found it
(00:24):
was interesting. It almost brought down Hewlett Packard. He sold
his company, I don't know fifteen years ago to Hewlett Packard,
and they said it was overpriced and they had to
write off like eight billion dollars and they tried to
extradite him from Great Britain to the United States to
stand trial for thirteen fourteen years. They couldn't get this
(00:47):
guy to the United States to stand trial. And the
accountant for his company that he sold to Hewlett Packard,
he was convicted on all charges.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
He was sentenced to five years in prison. And so
they wanted Mike Lynch to come in and the chances
of you beating the Feds in one of these trials
point zero five percent, one half of one percent beat
charges like this, and he came to San Francisco with
his lawyers. He spent a year or so under house arrest,
(01:20):
going to court every day, explaining the intricacies of he
sold his business to Hewlett Packard and they screwed it
up on their end, and he beat the charges. It
was this year, after a fifteen year fight, they finally
extra drided him from Great Britain to the San Francisco.
He was standing trial, he was under house arrest in
(01:40):
San Francisco. He could only go to his condo, then
to court, court to condo, and that's the only place.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
He can go.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
And he him and his lawyers beat the charges. That
happens less than one percent, one half of one percent
of the time, that happens ninety nine point five percent
of the time those cases get a conviction, and he
beat him. And that case just ended in June of
this year. In June, it was huge. It was in
(02:09):
the papers everywhere, it was online everywhere. And then this
guy who has a beautiful one hundred and eighty foot
yacht outside of Italy, enjoying his summer with his family,
his wife. I don't know if his kids were on
it or not, and a storm comes up, tornado, big
thunderstorm capsizes the ship and he's gone. After fighting for
(02:32):
fifteen years with the United States, he finally was able
to take off the ankle monitor and enjoy himself. And
he's in Italy. That only happened in late June of
this year, June, so he had a week in June,
all of July and two weeks in August and that
was it. And he got wiped out by the storm
(02:54):
in Italy on a boat that's probably worth thirty forty
million dollars.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
And it wasn't it was a sailboat. It was one
hundred and.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Eighty foot huge, huge ass sailboat with a big, huge mass,
probably one hundred and fifty feet tall. Just a beautiful,
spectacular black hole of this boat with the red stripe
and it was just an unbelievable ship and it got
wiped out by this storm.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Mike Lynch, a tech tycoon, was the owner of that
luxury yacht which has sunk off the coast of Sicily
after being hit by extreme weather in the early hours
of the morning. And they're not just saying that he
owned it, they are reporting that.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
He is among Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I think the only person that survived was his wife.
Everybody else on board died.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
The missing we are well, they're not.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Dead, but they're missing.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And I don't know how long you can be missing
off the coast of Sicily before they, you know, they
decide that you're not coming back.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
The missing. We are still waiting for official verification of that.
What we have been told is that in the early
hours of this morning, there was this extreme weather which
hit the northeast coast of Sicily, and particularly off the
coast of Porticello.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
This guy's a billionaire, bill yin air on his boat
and couldn't handle that storm.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
This is where this yacht was moored, a fifty six
meter yacht with.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Fried fifty six meters that's about one hundred and eighty
feet somewhere around there.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Twenty two people on board, ten of them crew, twelve
of them passengers from various countries. And we understand that
according to some eyewitnesses, there was actually a tornado. You
heard from that fisherman described seeing a tornado and said
that they actually were pushed back towards the pier. There
was a lot of destructure on the pier. When that
weather calmed down, they headed out to sea, but all
(04:44):
they could see in the water were the remains.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Of a yacht.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Now the coast Guard has said, actually that yacht has
sunk to around fifty meters below the water. Fifteen people
did manage to get off.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Okay, I didn't know that fifteen people, but I think
Mike Lynch was one of the people missing and his
wife survived.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Among them a mother and a one year old baby.
They've been treated by medics. At least eight people are
in hospital. But speaking to locals.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
The oh, that's great.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
The early reports that everybody got wiped out, So I'm
glad that they know a lot of people survive.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
This trauma of those who have escaped this alive is
extensive because it was the middle of the night they
were on board. From what we hear from eyewitnesses, this
storm hit really without warning. It was extremely severe. Some
I'm saying they've never seen anything like it, and so
not only did they have to escape from the boat
in the dark, but also the initial part of that
(05:45):
search and rescue mission will have happened in the dark
as well.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, and not only in the dark, but they said
the swells were twenty to thirty feet while that tornado
was creating an unbelievably almost an impossible to survive.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
We're still getting all of the information coming in, but
certainly what we're hearing from officials is that it was
near to the land. This wasn't way out to see
when the storm hit.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Wow, what a life that guy had.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Fifteen years of fighting this lawsuit probably cost him millions,
if not hundreds of millions, and lawyers to try to
beat these charges. One he found the needle in the
haystack and beat these federal charges. And again, ninety nine
point five percent of the people who were charged like
this go to prison. And he was looking at twenty
(06:33):
five years in prison. Twenty five years and him and
his lawyers were able to convince the jury that he
did nothing wrong. And he got on a private jet
and he left the United States bottle of champagne off
to enjoy a summer, and then he gets wiped out
by this tornado.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
What a story. What a story. All Right, we're live
on KFI.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Don't forget Gary and Shannon are in Chicago for the DNC.
That's kind of cool to hear, you know what's going
on in the United Center. So you got to listen
to that nine am to one pm, and then podcast
our show at one that what we do around here. Yeah,
podcast our show at one till four and then listen
(07:16):
four to seven live Big Dok.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Hey, we're gonna pay play.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Mayor Bass just spoke at the DNC, and we're gonna
play a little of it. And uh, and then she
came on for literally like three or four minutes and
then disappeared. So we'll grab it and play a little
for you. Well, we'll see if there's anything interesting there.
And she said earlier on TV, and I thought she
was joking, but she said her speech is gonna be
short like her hair, and I thought that was just
(07:49):
a joke. But it was like the shortest speech ever.
She was literally on for I don't know, three minutes,
four minutes. And I don't know whether she's hosting tonight.
W'ere she'll come back and introduce the other acts.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But tonight you'll hear from President Joe Biden. He'll come
on tonight. He's going to speak at the Democratic Convention.
He'll speak tonight. He'll be introduced by his wife, first
Lady Joe Biden, and his daughter Ashley Biden, and then
now former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is among the
(08:25):
other speakers schedule for Monday night, and then I'm the
whole schedule wondering what time. Oh here it is, okay,
at the last speaker of the night, Joe Biden is
expected to speak at ten fifteen PM. And I don't
(08:46):
I don't know if this oh that's Central time.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Let's see here.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
As the last speaker of the night, Joe Biden is
expected to speak after nine to thirty pm Central time.
The program is scheduled to end at ten fifteen Central time.
And I wish I could do Central time math for you.
Two hours, two hours, okay, all right? So he's going
on at six thirty. No, I can't figure this out.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
What the like? Nine? Then say nine? Was it nine thirty?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well, he said, Biden is expected to speak after nine thirty,
so it could be any time after nine thirty. So
that's seven thirty our time, all right, So seven thirty
our time, So that'll be the mo Kelly show.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
He'll dip into that and out of that he'll be
all over it, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
The electric prices are going up in the state of California.
Here in southern California, and if you here are the
top ten places in the world where electricity is the cheapest,
the cheapest in the world. Well, let's just do top
five here, one, two, three, four or five. Okay, Ethiopia
is number five, Soudan is number four, Cuba Cuba number three.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Syria. You know, you don't think they got it together
in Syria, Oh they do.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
The second least expensive place to pay for electricity, and
then the cheapest place. The cheapest country in the world
when it comes to electricity is Iran. Iran is point
zero zero two cents per kilowatt hour. We pay thirty
eight cents, so we pay one hundred and ninety times
(10:30):
what they pay in Iran. One hundred and ninety times.
So if you had a bill for eighty five dollars,
that's your monthly electric bill.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I don't know anybody who has that. Anybody is that low. Yeah,
I do too.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
But if your electric bill is eighty five dollars a month,
if you lived in Iran, that same bill would be
forty four cents a month. The typical bill in the
United States, the typical household, the average household spends around
one hundred and fifteen dollars a month for electricity. One
hundred and fifteen dollars for electricity. If you were living
(11:06):
in Iran, that would be sixty cents two quarters two nickels.
You'd give that to the government a quarter another one
two and two nickels, two quarters two nickels.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
You're done.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Now, Let's say you're you've got a huge ass Malibu
home and or maybe maybe out Hollywood Hills or Beverly Hills,
and you are using five thousand kilowat hours a month.
That's not impossible. There are plenty of homes that use
that kind of electricity in Los Angeles. That would cost
you one thousand, nine hundred dollars at thirty eight cents
(11:47):
per kilowat hour. It will cost you one thousand, nine
hundred dollars for five thousand killowatt hours. You see if
that's true, although one second, five thousand times point three eight, Yeah,
one nine hundred dollars. If you're living in Iran, that
same five thousand kilowatt hours would cost you ten dollars.
(12:09):
It would cost you one thousand, nine hundred in La.
It would cost you ten dollars in Iran. That's a
lot in La. Okay, Now you want to save money, Ah,
Uncle t Bones. As you covered here are the top
eight things that are using up the most electricity in
your home. So listen to this. Don't half ask this
(12:31):
part of the show. You can half ask other parts,
like when you know Bellio talks about.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Her ideas that that she no longer is pursuing.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
So yeah, all right, here we go the top eight
power suckers in your home. Number eight, TV and cable
box number eight. Number seven is the dishwasher. If you
have an electric dishwasher, I understand using that because if
(13:02):
you do your dishes by hand, you don't get enough
heat to kill all the bacteria on your dishes. The
reason why people use dishwashers is that when the heat
comes on at the end, it cooks the bacteria wipes
it out. Bacteria cannot survive the heat of a dishwasher.
It can absolutely survive the heat of washing them by
(13:24):
hand at the sink, and that could be transferred onto
other family members and that could be no good in
the future. So we like using the dishwasher at our house.
Number six the electric oven. I don't know if people
still have this, but is a thing. The electric oven.
Number five the washer and dryer, washer and dryer, the
(13:50):
monthly energy uses from your washer and dryer depends on well.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
How often you do electricity, I mean do it laundry.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I guess, but they're using a lot of electricity. Number four,
Which appliances use the most electricity? Number four is the refrigerator,
the fridge at number four. Number three household lighting. All
the lights you have on and around the house, outside, inside, interior, exterre,
(14:18):
all the lights?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Is it? Number three? Number two?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
The second most used appliance or I'm sorry, the uses
the most electricity. The water heater. The water heater, if
you have an electric water heater. Again, I don't know
anybody who does that. I don't know where those are.
But if you have a tankless water heater, I think
you skate there. Ninety nine point nine percent of them
(14:46):
are run by gas. Okay, So the number one, the
largest electricity consumer in the average household is I will
tell you when we come back, the one, the thing
that's going to use more electricity than anything in your house.
And you got to know the answer, and I got
(15:06):
to take a commercial break.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
I'm being yelled at.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
You're listening to Tim conwayjun you're on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
All right, Mayor Karen Bass, the leader of Los Angeles,
spoke at the DNC, and we're not going to run
a lot of DNC speeches like we didn't run in
a lot of RNC speeches, like to try to keep
politics off the show pot. It is nice to see
what the mayor of Los Angeles had to say to
the rest of the country and to all the Democrats
(15:37):
that are there. What did she have to say about
LA Did she brag about us, did she cut us down?
Speaker 4 (15:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Let's find out what she said about Los Angeles. Schuly
spoke for about three minutes, so let's find out.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Are you as excited as I am.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
About the Olympics.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yeah, I've known Kamala Harris for almost twenty years.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Our bond was forged years ago by a shared commitment
to children, a belief that it is everyone's responsibility to
care for every child.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
How rude is it that there are people talking in
that auditorium, in that arena while she's trying to talk.
How effing rude is that that people are ignoring her
up there and still talking and you can hear it
she has to talk over them.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
That's exceptionally rude. You keep hearing, you keep waiting to
hear people go sh yeah, that's that's outrageous. You know,
she flew across the country to speak to these people.
I'm probably you know, on the same flight with Shannon
Farren on Southwest Airlines.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
She had to endure you know, idiots like me. You know,
they're just the unwashed animals that are in the back
of that plane. And she went to the and c
to speak and they don't let her there. Well, they're
allowing her to speak, she has to talk over them
because they're all talking.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
No matter where they come from and no matter who
their parents are. Kamala knows that each generation has an
obligation to the next. That's why when I was Speaker
of the State Assembly and she was a prosecutor, we
(17:26):
fought to address youth homelessness and reform the child welfare system.
We wanted to make sure that California's foster youth aren't
cut off and left on their own the day they
turn eighteen. As Attorney General, Kamala created our state's Bureau
(17:54):
of Children's Justice and work to give children in the
juvenile justice system a.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Support they needed.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
And I was supposed to be in applause line and
nobody's listening.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
How rude if.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Children in the juvenile justice system a support they needed.
And when I asked her to swear me in the
first woman vice president, swearing in the first woman mayor
of Los Angeles, we knew we were sending a message
(18:34):
to young girls everywhere that they too can lead. Now
I know Kamala and she feels the importance of this
work in her bones. When Kamala meets a young person,
you can feel her passion, you can feel her heart,
(18:57):
and you can feel her fearlessness. That is what defines
a commitment to children, being willing to fight fiercely for
every child. And trust me, Kamala has done that her
entire life. So this November, We're gonna fight to elect
(19:23):
Kamala Harris as the next president of these United States.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
So the screen Karen, Karen, Karen Cairen? Are they calling
her a Karen or that's her name, that's her first name? Sorry,
but there she spoke for only three minutes.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
That was it.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
Hey, unless there's a longer version of it, I didn't
see anything longer than that. I think she spoke for
three minutes. And yeah, three minutes comes a bitute. Well
that's what a lot of the speakers, at least the
early ones they get. I like think like three to
four minutes. Okay, all right, yeah, and then that's a
wrap on her. So Joe Biden will be speaking later tonight.
Maybe you want to listen to that. That's cool.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
And then Kamala Harris, she will be speaking on Thursday,
Thursday night for the big acceptance speech. All right, And
Gary and Shannon are there. Go listen tomorrow like you
did today. They are on from nine am into one pm.
And it does sound kind of cool. They're they're live.
There's a big energy attached to that, and so listen
(20:40):
to that program all week long, nine am to one pm.
Gary and Shannon live at the United Center in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (20:50):

don't think it's I think i'd be I think it had.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
To be you during the week. I don't think we
told them that. I think we did Wednesdays between two
and three pm. Yeah, I'm I'm not a good coupon guy.
I remember when I was up in Oregon and we
drove over the bridge, the Lewis and Clark Bridge because
there was a Sizzler over in Longview, Washington. And my daughter,
(23:42):
my wife, and I are big Sizzler fans. She grew
up on Sizzler and that was like a special place
they went. I went with my mom and dad.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I really loved Sizzler, and so my wife saw a
coupon in one of those mailers, you know. Two for
one meals and I said, I it's sweetie, Please, let's
not go through this. I'll just pay for the meal.
And she says, no, we're on a bunch. We can
say some money. I was between jobs and I said, okay.
I said, but if there's any hint of this coupon
(24:13):
is expired or not going to work, or this location
doesn't honor them or anything, we're going to crumble up
the coupon and just eat like Kings where I pay
for both meals. And she goes, okay, okay. So we're
standing in line, and you know how it operates. The
only steakhouse I think, I know where you stand in
line to order and then you sit down with the
(24:34):
number and they come by and drop off your steak.
Other steakhouses you go, there's a waiter, waiters bang, but
about you go to the kitchen all But at Sizzler,
it's the old fashioned stand in line to get your meal,
which I also like.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Yes, I like that. It brings back great memories.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I mean to see the menu and you're getting closer
and you can smell the food.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
Do you look at that wide toothpick that's in your steak?
That tells you how it was.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
That's right, yeah, medium, right, yeah, that big fat toothpick.
And so we get to the counter and I said, well,
we'll take Malibu chicken and she's gonna have the pork chops.
Can I get the Malibu chicken and the little steak?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
And the guy's yeah, sure, you're no problem.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And I said, I've got this coupon and he looks
at it and he says it's really only for weekdays.
And I grab it back from and I go, okay,
we're going to throw that away. And he took it
back from me. He says, no, no, he says, let
me ask my manager. Say no, no, no, no, no no,
there's no managers get involved. There's not no delays. There's
nine hundred people in line behind me. Please just charge
(25:37):
me triple for whatever these meals are. Please don't don't
do this. And he said no, no, no, He said,
this coupon actually doesn't say for weekends only. I've never
seen this before. Let me see if it's good. And
everybody in line is staring at me because I'm keeping
the lineup to save eight dollars and forty nine cents
on this meal. And he comes back, and he says, oh,
(26:00):
he says, we can't honor this butt. We can give
you a free salad by somebody. Let's just get this
line moving again. Let's just prefert's let's pretend I never
had a coupon. Let's get this line moving again. And
he goes, yeah, but I can give you her salad
if you had her salad and took it off your meal.
And now it's a whole hold up, and you can
hear people in line going, God almighty, what's going on
(26:23):
with these people up here with the coupons? And I remember,
like it was yesterday and I've never used another coupon
at a restaurant.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I just I get sweaty, I get all tangled up.
Oh the worst, All right, seven eleven.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
We talked about it before, and now they might be
selling the company. Somebody might be buying every single seven
eleven and changing ownership. Let's find out who's going to
buy all of our seven eleven.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
The owner of seven eleven convenience stores has received a
thirty one billion dollar buyout offer.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Whoa oh thirty one billion dollars for seven eleven. Hey,
if I were you seven eleven, I'd take it. I'd
take it and run.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Japan's is seven and I Holdings.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Do you think they'll pay cash for it?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
You got to roll up all those bills and stick
them in those tubes and shove them in.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
They safe. I don't know it's possible.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Japan's is seven and I Holdings.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Seven and I Holdings are coming to get seven eleven.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Japan's is seven and I Holdings received the offer from
a Canadian company which owns fourteen thousand convenience stores worldwide,
including nearly seven thousand US Circle K locations.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Okay, they own the Circle K, and circle K is
going to buy seven to eleven.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
I think it's a great deal.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
The offer has not been accepted or rejected, but any
buyout would have to be vetted by US regulators.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Oh no, how much are they offering for it? Thirty
one billion, I believe. Let's see here, the.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Owner of seven eleven convenience stores has received a thirty
one billion dollar or buyout offer.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah, thirty one billion dollars. Man, oh man, somebody hasn't
had the rolled taketos yet.
Speaker 8 (28:10):
So the math thirty one billion? And there are they
say there are eighty five thousand, seven elevens around the world.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
What has that come out to per seven eleven?
Speaker 8 (28:20):
And I'm looking at three hundred and sixty four thousand
per seven eleven. That's a good deal, I think, yeah,
I would think so, Yeah, three and sixty five just
under three hundred and sixty five thousand.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I don't know if seven eleven owns the property that
they're on. I'm sure they don't. I bet they don't.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I can't imagine they own all that property. Yeah, but
if they do, that's a sweet deal. Thirty one billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
But even if it's not, I mean to have you know,
because everybody goes to seven eleven. Now, everybody says, Kelly,
screw it. Oh he doesn't go to seven eleven.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
No, he won't step in a second. Is that right?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
It's the whole thing. He's got a lot of rules
of thumb. He does does go to a gas station
at night. No leftovers, no leftovers. That Cay is great,
man is But seven to eleven might be selling to
Circle K, and maybe they'll up the quality of those
chicken wings. Maybe circle K's in the chicken business. Oh,
(29:18):
by the way, I forgot to tell you the number
one thing in your house that uses the most electricity
your air conditioner, air conditionering, and heater. It uses more
electricity than everything else, AC mostly and your heater.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
So oh, then I can I tell you something about
the AC and the electric bill? Yes, So two months
ago we were having pretty mild weather, right, and then
that heat wave came through, and so we just started
cranking the AC. Here my power bill went it It
(29:57):
tripled in one month.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Really, what is it? Normally around sixty bucks?
Speaker 9 (30:03):
And then the next month, after we started using the AC,
it was like one hundred and eighty.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
You you were paying sixty dollars for electricity.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
I know it's really still not that much, but the
point being Timmy, is that it tripled after I started
using the air conditioner, and you just said that the
AC sucks the energy.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Sixty dollars?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Did I mention?
Speaker 9 (30:31):
I was hardly home that month, so we weren't even
like using any any power at all.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
I I know you, and I really like you, and
I want to strangle you.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Can you imagine what the in line get in line?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Man?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Oh man, sixty dollars, that's wild, unbelievable. I got to
move into your place sixty bucks. That's great. I Relive
on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on demand on
the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us live
on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm Monday
(31:09):
through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
we have some bad news coming out of Italy. I
saw this news store today and I loosely followed the
story of this guy, Mike Lynch because I found it
(00:24):
was interesting. It almost brought down Hewlett Packard. He sold
his company, I don't know fifteen years ago to Hewlett Packard,
and they said it was overpriced and they had to
write off like eight billion dollars and they tried to
extradite him from Great Britain to the United States to
stand trial for thirteen fourteen years. They couldn't get this
(00:47):
guy to the United States to stand trial. And the
accountant for his company that he sold to Hewlett Packard,
he was convicted on all charges.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
He was sentenced to five years in prison. And so
they wanted Mike Lynch to come in and the chances
of you beating the Feds in one of these trials
point zero five percent, one half of one percent beat
charges like this, and he came to San Francisco with
his lawyers. He spent a year or so under house arrest,
(01:20):
going to court every day, explaining the intricacies of he
sold his business to Hewlett Packard and they screwed it
up on their end, and he beat the charges. It
was this year, after a fifteen year fight, they finally
extra drided him from Great Britain to the San Francisco.
He was standing trial, he was under house arrest in
(01:40):
San Francisco. He could only go to his condo, then
to court, court to condo, and that's the only place.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
He can go.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
And he him and his lawyers beat the charges. That
happens less than one percent, one half of one percent
of the time, that happens ninety nine point five percent
of the time those cases get a conviction, and he
beat him. And that case just ended in June of
this year. In June, it was huge. It was in
(02:09):
the papers everywhere, it was online everywhere. And then this
guy who has a beautiful one hundred and eighty foot
yacht outside of Italy, enjoying his summer with his family,
his wife. I don't know if his kids were on
it or not, and a storm comes up, tornado, big
thunderstorm capsizes the ship and he's gone. After fighting for
(02:32):
fifteen years with the United States, he finally was able
to take off the ankle monitor and enjoy himself. And
he's in Italy. That only happened in late June of
this year, June, so he had a week in June,
all of July and two weeks in August and that
was it. And he got wiped out by the storm
(02:54):
in Italy on a boat that's probably worth thirty forty
million dollars.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
And it wasn't it was a sailboat. It was one
hundred and.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Eighty foot huge, huge ass sailboat with a big, huge mass,
probably one hundred and fifty feet tall. Just a beautiful,
spectacular black hole of this boat with the red stripe
and it was just an unbelievable ship and it got
wiped out by this storm.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Mike Lynch, a tech tycoon, was the owner of that
luxury yacht which has sunk off the coast of Sicily
after being hit by extreme weather in the early hours
of the morning. And they're not just saying that he
owned it, they are reporting that.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
He is among Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I think the only person that survived was his wife.
Everybody else on board died.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
The missing we are well, they're not.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Dead, but they're missing.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And I don't know how long you can be missing
off the coast of Sicily before they, you know, they
decide that you're not coming back.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
The missing. We are still waiting for official verification of that.
What we have been told is that in the early
hours of this morning, there was this extreme weather which
hit the northeast coast of Sicily, and particularly off the
coast of Porticello.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
This guy's a billionaire, bill yin air on his boat
and couldn't handle that storm.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
This is where this yacht was moored, a fifty six
meter yacht with.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Fried fifty six meters that's about one hundred and eighty
feet somewhere around there.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Twenty two people on board, ten of them crew, twelve
of them passengers from various countries. And we understand that
according to some eyewitnesses, there was actually a tornado. You
heard from that fisherman described seeing a tornado and said
that they actually were pushed back towards the pier. There
was a lot of destructure on the pier. When that
weather calmed down, they headed out to sea, but all
(04:44):
they could see in the water were the remains.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Of a yacht.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Now the coast Guard has said, actually that yacht has
sunk to around fifty meters below the water. Fifteen people
did manage to get off.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Okay, I didn't know that fifteen people, but I think
Mike Lynch was one of the people missing and his
wife survived.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Among them a mother and a one year old baby.
They've been treated by medics. At least eight people are
in hospital. But speaking to locals.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
The oh, that's great.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
The early reports that everybody got wiped out, So I'm
glad that they know a lot of people survive.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
This trauma of those who have escaped this alive is
extensive because it was the middle of the night they
were on board. From what we hear from eyewitnesses, this
storm hit really without warning. It was extremely severe. Some
I'm saying they've never seen anything like it, and so
not only did they have to escape from the boat
in the dark, but also the initial part of that
(05:45):
search and rescue mission will have happened in the dark
as well.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, and not only in the dark, but they said
the swells were twenty to thirty feet while that tornado
was creating an unbelievably almost an impossible to survive.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
We're still getting all of the information coming in, but
certainly what we're hearing from officials is that it was
near to the land. This wasn't way out to see
when the storm hit.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Wow, what a life that guy had.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Fifteen years of fighting this lawsuit probably cost him millions,
if not hundreds of millions, and lawyers to try to
beat these charges. One he found the needle in the
haystack and beat these federal charges. And again, ninety nine
point five percent of the people who were charged like
this go to prison. And he was looking at twenty
(06:33):
five years in prison. Twenty five years and him and
his lawyers were able to convince the jury that he
did nothing wrong. And he got on a private jet
and he left the United States bottle of champagne off
to enjoy a summer, and then he gets wiped out
by this tornado.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
What a story. What a story. All Right, we're live
on KFI.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Don't forget Gary and Shannon are in Chicago for the DNC.
That's kind of cool to hear, you know what's going
on in the United Center. So you got to listen
to that nine am to one pm, and then podcast
our show at one that what we do around here. Yeah,
podcast our show at one till four and then listen
(07:16):
four to seven live Big Dok.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Hey, we're gonna pay play.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Mayor Bass just spoke at the DNC, and we're gonna
play a little of it. And uh, and then she
came on for literally like three or four minutes and
then disappeared. So we'll grab it and play a little
for you. Well, we'll see if there's anything interesting there.
And she said earlier on TV, and I thought she
was joking, but she said her speech is gonna be
short like her hair, and I thought that was just
(07:49):
a joke. But it was like the shortest speech ever.
She was literally on for I don't know, three minutes,
four minutes. And I don't know whether she's hosting tonight.
W'ere she'll come back and introduce the other acts.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But tonight you'll hear from President Joe Biden. He'll come
on tonight. He's going to speak at the Democratic Convention.
He'll speak tonight. He'll be introduced by his wife, first
Lady Joe Biden, and his daughter Ashley Biden, and then
now former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is among the
(08:25):
other speakers schedule for Monday night, and then I'm the
whole schedule wondering what time. Oh here it is, okay,
at the last speaker of the night, Joe Biden is
expected to speak at ten fifteen PM. And I don't
(08:46):
I don't know if this oh that's Central time.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Let's see here.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
As the last speaker of the night, Joe Biden is
expected to speak after nine to thirty pm Central time.
The program is scheduled to end at ten fifteen Central time.
And I wish I could do Central time math for you.
Two hours, two hours, okay, all right? So he's going
on at six thirty. No, I can't figure this out.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
What the like? Nine? Then say nine? Was it nine thirty?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well, he said, Biden is expected to speak after nine thirty,
so it could be any time after nine thirty. So
that's seven thirty our time, all right, So seven thirty
our time, So that'll be the mo Kelly show.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
He'll dip into that and out of that he'll be
all over it, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
The electric prices are going up in the state of California.
Here in southern California, and if you here are the
top ten places in the world where electricity is the cheapest,
the cheapest in the world. Well, let's just do top
five here, one, two, three, four or five. Okay, Ethiopia
is number five, Soudan is number four, Cuba Cuba number three.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Syria. You know, you don't think they got it together
in Syria, Oh they do.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
The second least expensive place to pay for electricity, and
then the cheapest place. The cheapest country in the world
when it comes to electricity is Iran. Iran is point
zero zero two cents per kilowatt hour. We pay thirty
eight cents, so we pay one hundred and ninety times
(10:30):
what they pay in Iran. One hundred and ninety times.
So if you had a bill for eighty five dollars,
that's your monthly electric bill.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I don't know anybody who has that. Anybody is that low. Yeah,
I do too.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
But if your electric bill is eighty five dollars a month,
if you lived in Iran, that same bill would be
forty four cents a month. The typical bill in the
United States, the typical household, the average household spends around
one hundred and fifteen dollars a month for electricity. One
hundred and fifteen dollars for electricity. If you were living
(11:06):
in Iran, that would be sixty cents two quarters two nickels.
You'd give that to the government a quarter another one
two and two nickels, two quarters two nickels.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
You're done.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Now, Let's say you're you've got a huge ass Malibu
home and or maybe maybe out Hollywood Hills or Beverly Hills,
and you are using five thousand kilowat hours a month.
That's not impossible. There are plenty of homes that use
that kind of electricity in Los Angeles. That would cost
you one thousand, nine hundred dollars at thirty eight cents
(11:47):
per kilowat hour. It will cost you one thousand, nine
hundred dollars for five thousand killowatt hours. You see if
that's true, although one second, five thousand times point three eight, Yeah,
one nine hundred dollars. If you're living in Iran, that
same five thousand kilowatt hours would cost you ten dollars.
(12:09):
It would cost you one thousand, nine hundred in La.
It would cost you ten dollars in Iran. That's a
lot in La. Okay, Now you want to save money, Ah,
Uncle t Bones. As you covered here are the top
eight things that are using up the most electricity in
your home. So listen to this. Don't half ask this
(12:31):
part of the show. You can half ask other parts,
like when you know Bellio talks about.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Her ideas that that she no longer is pursuing.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
So yeah, all right, here we go the top eight
power suckers in your home. Number eight, TV and cable
box number eight. Number seven is the dishwasher. If you
have an electric dishwasher, I understand using that because if
(13:02):
you do your dishes by hand, you don't get enough
heat to kill all the bacteria on your dishes. The
reason why people use dishwashers is that when the heat
comes on at the end, it cooks the bacteria wipes
it out. Bacteria cannot survive the heat of a dishwasher.
It can absolutely survive the heat of washing them by
(13:24):
hand at the sink, and that could be transferred onto
other family members and that could be no good in
the future. So we like using the dishwasher at our house.
Number six the electric oven. I don't know if people
still have this, but is a thing. The electric oven.
Number five the washer and dryer, washer and dryer, the
(13:50):
monthly energy uses from your washer and dryer depends on well.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
How often you do electricity, I mean do it laundry.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I guess, but they're using a lot of electricity. Number four,
Which appliances use the most electricity? Number four is the refrigerator,
the fridge at number four. Number three household lighting. All
the lights you have on and around the house, outside, inside, interior, exterre,
(14:18):
all the lights?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Is it? Number three? Number two?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
The second most used appliance or I'm sorry, the uses
the most electricity. The water heater. The water heater, if
you have an electric water heater. Again, I don't know
anybody who does that. I don't know where those are.
But if you have a tankless water heater, I think
you skate there. Ninety nine point nine percent of them
(14:46):
are run by gas. Okay, So the number one, the
largest electricity consumer in the average household is I will
tell you when we come back, the one, the thing
that's going to use more electricity than anything in your house.
And you got to know the answer, and I got
(15:06):
to take a commercial break.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
I'm being yelled at.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
You're listening to Tim conwayjun you're on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
All right, Mayor Karen Bass, the leader of Los Angeles,
spoke at the DNC, and we're not going to run
a lot of DNC speeches like we didn't run in
a lot of RNC speeches, like to try to keep
politics off the show pot. It is nice to see
what the mayor of Los Angeles had to say to
the rest of the country and to all the Democrats
(15:37):
that are there. What did she have to say about
LA Did she brag about us, did she cut us down?
Speaker 4 (15:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Let's find out what she said about Los Angeles. Schuly
spoke for about three minutes, so let's find out.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Are you as excited as I am.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
About the Olympics.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yeah, I've known Kamala Harris for almost twenty years.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Our bond was forged years ago by a shared commitment
to children, a belief that it is everyone's responsibility to
care for every child.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
How rude is it that there are people talking in
that auditorium, in that arena while she's trying to talk.
How effing rude is that that people are ignoring her
up there and still talking and you can hear it
she has to talk over them.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
That's exceptionally rude. You keep hearing, you keep waiting to
hear people go sh yeah, that's that's outrageous. You know,
she flew across the country to speak to these people.
I'm probably you know, on the same flight with Shannon
Farren on Southwest Airlines.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
She had to endure you know, idiots like me. You know,
they're just the unwashed animals that are in the back
of that plane. And she went to the and c
to speak and they don't let her there. Well, they're
allowing her to speak, she has to talk over them
because they're all talking.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
No matter where they come from and no matter who
their parents are. Kamala knows that each generation has an
obligation to the next. That's why when I was Speaker
of the State Assembly and she was a prosecutor, we
(17:26):
fought to address youth homelessness and reform the child welfare system.
We wanted to make sure that California's foster youth aren't
cut off and left on their own the day they
turn eighteen. As Attorney General, Kamala created our state's Bureau
(17:54):
of Children's Justice and work to give children in the
juvenile justice system a.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Support they needed.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
And I was supposed to be in applause line and
nobody's listening.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
How rude if.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Children in the juvenile justice system a support they needed.
And when I asked her to swear me in the
first woman vice president, swearing in the first woman mayor
of Los Angeles, we knew we were sending a message
(18:34):
to young girls everywhere that they too can lead. Now
I know Kamala and she feels the importance of this
work in her bones. When Kamala meets a young person,
you can feel her passion, you can feel her heart,
(18:57):
and you can feel her fearlessness. That is what defines
a commitment to children, being willing to fight fiercely for
every child. And trust me, Kamala has done that her
entire life. So this November, We're gonna fight to elect
(19:23):
Kamala Harris as the next president of these United States.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
So the screen Karen, Karen, Karen Cairen? Are they calling
her a Karen or that's her name, that's her first name? Sorry,
but there she spoke for only three minutes.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
That was it.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
Hey, unless there's a longer version of it, I didn't
see anything longer than that. I think she spoke for
three minutes. And yeah, three minutes comes a bitute. Well
that's what a lot of the speakers, at least the
early ones they get. I like think like three to
four minutes. Okay, all right, yeah, and then that's a
wrap on her. So Joe Biden will be speaking later tonight.
Maybe you want to listen to that. That's cool.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
And then Kamala Harris, she will be speaking on Thursday,
Thursday night for the big acceptance speech. All right, And
Gary and Shannon are there. Go listen tomorrow like you
did today. They are on from nine am into one pm.
And it does sound kind of cool. They're they're live.
There's a big energy attached to that, and so listen
(20:40):
to that program all week long, nine am to one pm.
Gary and Shannon live at the United Center in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (20:50):

One lift ticket for to tell you right? And I
don't think it's I think i'd be I think it had.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
To be you during the week. I don't think we
told them that. I think we did Wednesdays between two
and three pm. Yeah, I'm I'm not a good coupon guy.
I remember when I was up in Oregon and we
drove over the bridge, the Lewis and Clark Bridge because
there was a Sizzler over in Longview, Washington. And my daughter,
(23:42):
my wife, and I are big Sizzler fans. She grew
up on Sizzler and that was like a special place
they went. I went with my mom and dad.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I really loved Sizzler, and so my wife saw a
coupon in one of those mailers, you know. Two for
one meals and I said, I it's sweetie, Please, let's
not go through this. I'll just pay for the meal.
And she says, no, we're on a bunch. We can
say some money. I was between jobs and I said, okay.
I said, but if there's any hint of this coupon
(24:13):
is expired or not going to work, or this location
doesn't honor them or anything, we're going to crumble up
the coupon and just eat like Kings where I pay
for both meals. And she goes, okay, okay. So we're
standing in line, and you know how it operates. The
only steakhouse I think, I know where you stand in
line to order and then you sit down with the
(24:34):
number and they come by and drop off your steak.
Other steakhouses you go, there's a waiter, waiters bang, but
about you go to the kitchen all But at Sizzler,
it's the old fashioned stand in line to get your meal,
which I also like.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Yes, I like that. It brings back great memories.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I mean to see the menu and you're getting closer
and you can smell the food.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
Do you look at that wide toothpick that's in your steak?
That tells you how it was.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
That's right, yeah, medium, right, yeah, that big fat toothpick.
And so we get to the counter and I said, well,
we'll take Malibu chicken and she's gonna have the pork chops.
Can I get the Malibu chicken and the little steak?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
And the guy's yeah, sure, you're no problem.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And I said, I've got this coupon and he looks
at it and he says it's really only for weekdays.
And I grab it back from and I go, okay,
we're going to throw that away. And he took it
back from me. He says, no, no, he says, let
me ask my manager. Say no, no, no, no, no no,
there's no managers get involved. There's not no delays. There's
nine hundred people in line behind me. Please just charge
(25:37):
me triple for whatever these meals are. Please don't don't
do this. And he said no, no, no, He said,
this coupon actually doesn't say for weekends only. I've never
seen this before. Let me see if it's good. And
everybody in line is staring at me because I'm keeping
the lineup to save eight dollars and forty nine cents
on this meal. And he comes back, and he says, oh,
(26:00):
he says, we can't honor this butt. We can give
you a free salad by somebody. Let's just get this
line moving again. Let's just prefert's let's pretend I never
had a coupon. Let's get this line moving again. And
he goes, yeah, but I can give you her salad
if you had her salad and took it off your meal.
And now it's a whole hold up, and you can
hear people in line going, God almighty, what's going on
(26:23):
with these people up here with the coupons? And I remember,
like it was yesterday and I've never used another coupon
at a restaurant.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I just I get sweaty, I get all tangled up.
Oh the worst, All right, seven eleven.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
We talked about it before, and now they might be
selling the company. Somebody might be buying every single seven
eleven and changing ownership. Let's find out who's going to
buy all of our seven eleven.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
The owner of seven eleven convenience stores has received a
thirty one billion dollar buyout offer.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Whoa oh thirty one billion dollars for seven eleven. Hey,
if I were you seven eleven, I'd take it. I'd
take it and run.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Japan's is seven and I Holdings.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Do you think they'll pay cash for it?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
You got to roll up all those bills and stick
them in those tubes and shove them in.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
They safe. I don't know it's possible.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Japan's is seven and I Holdings.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Seven and I Holdings are coming to get seven eleven.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Japan's is seven and I Holdings received the offer from
a Canadian company which owns fourteen thousand convenience stores worldwide,
including nearly seven thousand US Circle K locations.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Okay, they own the Circle K, and circle K is
going to buy seven to eleven.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
I think it's a great deal.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
The offer has not been accepted or rejected, but any
buyout would have to be vetted by US regulators.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Oh no, how much are they offering for it? Thirty
one billion, I believe. Let's see here, the.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Owner of seven eleven convenience stores has received a thirty
one billion dollar or buyout offer.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah, thirty one billion dollars. Man, oh man, somebody hasn't
had the rolled taketos yet.
Speaker 8 (28:10):
So the math thirty one billion? And there are they
say there are eighty five thousand, seven elevens around the world.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
What has that come out to per seven eleven?
Speaker 8 (28:20):
And I'm looking at three hundred and sixty four thousand
per seven eleven. That's a good deal, I think, yeah,
I would think so, Yeah, three and sixty five just
under three hundred and sixty five thousand.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I don't know if seven eleven owns the property that
they're on. I'm sure they don't. I bet they don't.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I can't imagine they own all that property. Yeah, but
if they do, that's a sweet deal. Thirty one billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
But even if it's not, I mean to have you know,
because everybody goes to seven eleven. Now, everybody says, Kelly,
screw it. Oh he doesn't go to seven eleven.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
No, he won't step in a second. Is that right?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
It's the whole thing. He's got a lot of rules
of thumb. He does does go to a gas station
at night. No leftovers, no leftovers. That Cay is great,
man is But seven to eleven might be selling to
Circle K, and maybe they'll up the quality of those
chicken wings. Maybe circle K's in the chicken business. Oh,
(29:18):
by the way, I forgot to tell you the number
one thing in your house that uses the most electricity
your air conditioner, air conditionering, and heater. It uses more
electricity than everything else, AC mostly and your heater.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
So oh, then I can I tell you something about
the AC and the electric bill? Yes, So two months
ago we were having pretty mild weather, right, and then
that heat wave came through, and so we just started
cranking the AC. Here my power bill went it It
(29:57):
tripled in one month.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Really, what is it? Normally around sixty bucks?
Speaker 9 (30:03):
And then the next month, after we started using the AC,
it was like one hundred and eighty.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
You you were paying sixty dollars for electricity.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
I know it's really still not that much, but the
point being Timmy, is that it tripled after I started
using the air conditioner, and you just said that the
AC sucks the energy.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Sixty dollars?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Did I mention?
Speaker 9 (30:31):

like using any any power at all.
