Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's kf I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You
may have heard this story. I think we covered it
about a month ago. A guy driving on Highway eighteen
mining his own business and gets hit by these big bowlders,
nearly loses his leg, his life. He's been in the

(00:23):
hospital for thirty days and he is with us. His
name is Joe Fertech.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Joe, how are you, Bob, good timmy, how are you doing?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
N You know, Joe Fertec sounds like a guy who
does money on the ones on radio, money on the ones.
But Joe Fertec, so tell us the story. What happened
to you, Bob?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Well, I was coming down the hill on the Highway
eighteen from Lake Carrawhead. I went up there to get
my mail, and I recently moved out of there, and
I've been kind of doing vrbos up at Pismo Beach,
which is where I had to live. And so two
days before the accident are three days before the accent,

(01:05):
I purchased a Mercedes band Sprinter. But but so I was,
I was coming down the hill going to get insurance
and I get that all squared away because I didn't
get insurance yet on the vehicle and way.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
You bought a brand new van and you didn't get insurance.
Conway has got to be in your blood somehow, got
to be that is our move man.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, I know. It's It's funny because all the all
the comments I've read is like, how stupid are you
that you didn't get insurance? Kind of a gambler? Are you? Badly? So?
So Yeah, So I was coming down the hill in
an area called the Narrows, which is known for landslides,

(01:59):
and uh I didn't I got hit with two big
boulders that were the size of a volks I wow,
what time of day that It was eight o'clock in
the morning. Yeah, so there was traffic on the on
the highway and and that was very blessed that the
people that were behind me got out of their car

(02:20):
and held my hand until paramedics arrived, and I was
spoken to I would patrolled it. I responded to the
call and he said when he pulled up, he thought
for sure it was going to be a fatality.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Oh my god, how quickly did take the house soon
before the cops and the paramedics got there.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know for sure, but I
know it was pretty quick. I think within eight and
it's I mean, yeah, they're they're pretty response and they
have a lot of fire stations up there, and those
guys up there are great. I mean I've you know,
I've had to use them for the house when we
had them again and stuff like that. Yeah, so I
know all those guys. And so they were gonna amputate

(03:01):
my leg because I was bleeding to death.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Wait, they're they're gonna amputate your leg at the scene.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
At the scene. Yeah, my god, because I was bleeding
to death and I'd lost They gave me eight minits
of blood at the scene and that's a lot. And
then and then when I got to the hospital, they
were gonna amp you my leg because they couldn't stop
the bleeding. So they called the bascular surgeon. He was
able to save my leg. They got the workhotis to

(03:31):
rob my I had a compound pressure of my on
my right side, my femur, my tip fib, and then
also my ankle, and then on the other side on
the left hand side, it was my just my tip
fib compound fressure and then a compon pressure on my

(03:51):
ankle on my left hand side.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Could you see the bone sticking out through your skin?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
You know what? There's I don't remember much of the accident,
but I do remember snippets, and I remember waking up
and looking down and seeing the bone and then I
just passed right back out, I bet.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
And and what all right?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
So so this happens, and they they did, they take
your right to Loma.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Linda Loland, Yeah, to me, right to the little moan day.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, and you're you're still there.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, I'm sure here. I mean, I'm in intense reab
right now. So I'll be here anywhere from seven days
to fourteen days.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
And you've been there for it already for thirty days.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, we're even here for three days. Yeah. So the
first week I was in a coma, in a coma, yeah,
And it's always wild waking up from something like that
and you're intimated, so you can't breathe. I mean for
the first three days I thought for sure I was
being kidnapped. I mean, my I had I have such

(04:54):
a radical brain injury.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Like even even now, I like, I don't remember anything
that I you know that I said to somebody yesterday
or who I called yesterday. So it's going to take
a while for these things to heal. You know. Fortunately
your your brain is very plastic, right, and and so
it will heal over time.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Do you remember, then, Do you remember that you and
I talked yesterday?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah? Yeah, well how could I not thank That's I
was gonna say.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
I was gonna say, if you don't remember it, I
don't why the hell I called you? That sucks, man, Joe,
I know that. How old a gentleman are you?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
I'm fifty nine?

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Okay, so were you're winding it down? You're not just
starting life, and that sucks to have this happen at
that age. It's much more difficult to get better.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Oh yeah, no, it's it's there's no question. I mean,
I paid cash for that vehicle, and so I knocked
out a big part of my nest egg.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Wait but you know, wait, so you paid two hundred
thousand dollars for a van and yeah, and you didn't
get insured?

Speaker 2 (06:01):
No, no, of course, not, of course not.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
This is what's your favorite track? Sant Anita or del
mar This guys.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Del mar By.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
That's great, But now you.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Know what I would investigate that because I think after
you buy a car, you're insured for thirty days, either
through the dealership or your own insurance.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, I know, it's I'm I when you told me
at the other day, I'm looking into that. I mean,
we're we're gonna be filing a lawsuit against couch fans
up there. So that's that's really because, I mean, it's
it's cured engliships. They had a car crash two weeks
before this same area from rock Side. Yeah, and this

(06:47):
area is this area is very well known by locals
up there for rock Sides. But I mean, I you know,
I used to joke about it with my with my
ex wife and you know, it's it's you know, and
I never thought it would happen to me.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
It had nobody ever does.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, no, but I mean the fact that it did,
it's just, you know, it's it's it's crazy. It's wild,
definitely as wild.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Joe is with us side Joe Fertech. He's almost got
killed on this highway eighteen. I heard, and you can
tell his firsthand, you know, the good dad or the ugly,
but I heard. Loma Linda is one of the best
hospitals in the world.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
The care I received here is second. And then I've
been in medical for thirty years as a as a
sales rep and manager for you know fortune fifty companies.
So I know medicine and I know I know nursing.
They've been nothing more than outstanding. I mean they saved

(07:46):
my life. Well you know what. He took me out
of I CU and put me on the floor. I
went to koeblue wow, and so I was almost died again.
So they had to bring me back to ICU and
they kept there for three more days to just to
stabilize me.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
But I know you're a big kf I fan. We
got to keep you alive.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
That's it, buddy, I can't believe you had to go
through this, you know.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
I mean, yeah, well, I'm trying to keep positivity because
I'm alive, and you know, it would have it would
have been horrible for my kids to have to go
through that.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah right, No, they have the absolute worst. Hang on
and you know, hang in there and we'll check in
with you again and maybe we'll if you can make
it down to Morongo for the big party next year, we'd.

Speaker 3 (09:02):

Speaker 2 (09:08):
God bless you, buddy. Thanks for the thanks for the time.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
You got it, buddy, That's the least I can. All right,
Joe Fertech got into a horrible accident. Boulders fell on
this guy, you know, size of volkswagons, wiped him out,
nearly ampt amputated his leg there. Then they want to
amputate it at the hospital and uh, he saved his leg.
They did it lomal Linda Hospital, and he speaks very

(09:33):
highly those the carry got there at lomal Linda.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
But what it could have happened to anybody could happened
to you, me could happen anybody, anybody wild wild story.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
kf I AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Hey, Thanksgiving is one week from Thursday. It's eight days away.
Eight yeah, Tuesday?

Speaker 5 (09:59):
Was it?

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah? Eight days?

Speaker 2 (09:59):
We no?

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Nine, ten days away whatever, it's a week from Thursday.
You can figure out the math on your own. And
holidays are always kind of testy with the other relatives,
depending on who you voted for, depending on what they
ask you to bring. Maybe they ask you to bring
a dish that you think is too expensive. Maybe they're

(10:26):
asking you to fly to New York to see the
whole family, and that's expensive you don't want to turn down,
but you can't afford it. So there's boundaries, boundaries with families,
especially the Thanksgiving after an election, which we're going to
experience a week from Thursday. It'll be the first Thanksgiving

(10:48):
after an election. It's always very those wounds are still raw,
still open wounds, and it could blow up on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
So boundary.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Let's talk about those awkward conversations that a lot of
families are going to have, especially you know, politics and religion,
but especially after.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
A little line Yeah. You know what's interesting.

Speaker 7 (11:10):
People are more likely to talk about religion and politics
than money, and money is the thing that they should
be talking about. Because feathers get ruffled when people their
boundaries are crossed or they have expectations that are so
I say, ahead of time, start a text chain with
your siblings, your parents, whatever is going to be in
your holiday gathering, and start talking about like who's bringing
the wine, who's bringing the pies. How I can't afford

(11:31):
to do this this year.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
I'm flying in with my family and we're.

Speaker 7 (11:35):
Spending all of our money on plane tickets, so I
really can't contribute.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
You can just really kind of get.

Speaker 7 (11:39):
That going ahead of time on a phone call or
text chain. Be specific about costs. Let's not go crazy
this year, everybody. We don't need, by the way, for toys.
We don't need any more toys, please, Dear God, I
have too much plastic stuff in my house right now.
Set specific monetary policy.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
Monetary policy.

Speaker 7 (11:56):
That's what defend is monetary boundaries. For example, I don't
think we should spend a undred bucks each. I think
we should spend fifty or even get more.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
Created to it, everyone's stick to it.

Speaker 7 (12:04):
Let's do a gift exchange. I can't buy something for
every niece and nephew.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
This, I love that.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah, why are you going? Sounds like you're not ready
to go. I mean the complaints. Oh, I gotta pay
for this, I gotta pay for that. I can't bring
a pie to money, I can't bring a bottle of wine.
Your bro maybe not go this. Thanksgiving doesn't sound like
it's going to be fun. You're complaining, I.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
Can't buy something for every niece and nephew. This I
love that.

Speaker 8 (12:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (12:31):
Or one of my favorites is ten dollars at a
drug store. That's what you have to do and be
really fun and creative, and it makes it more of
a game, especially if you're talking about lots of younger.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
And then oh yeah, ten bucks. See what you can
find for ten bucks? You don't have to go to
dollar train and I don't know, give them a paint
brush or a roller paint roller.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Oh sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (12:52):
I was what are some other practical gift ideas instead
of plastic? So my favorite is the five twenty nine
college when Grandma and grand out there, I'm going to
tell you this because your kids don't want to ask
you directly. But you need to start a five twenty
nine college savings plan for your grandchildren. And if you
still want to buy the plastic, you know, gifts, you
can do that too.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
But why is this woman talking about plastic.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
So much?

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Kids love toys and they're made a plastic. You're going
to deny them that so you can what save the
world Because that kid doesn't get a plastic toy, all
of a sudden, the whole world is saved. That's not
going to happen. Get the kids the toys. Young kids,
they want toys, they deserve them. Keep kids as young
as possible, as long as possible. That's your job. Don't

(13:39):
listen to this woman. She's nuts. Get to get the toys,
buy them as much plastic as you can.

Speaker 7 (13:46):
Gifts you can do that too, But the five twenty
nine is something that's going to last forever. Or subscription,
say you know that you want to get a subscription
to a book of the month club or something like that.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
Because then it keeps the gifts that keeps on giving.

Speaker 7 (13:57):
And I've actually talked I mean this is all about talking, right.
I've actually told my mom one time, I'm like, you know,
Eddie's got this really expensive soccer kit that he's going
to have to.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
Buy for travel soccer.

Speaker 7 (14:07):
Maybe that'd be a great thing to get him for
Christmas and boom.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
So that's something that what's a soccer travel kit? How
can that be expensive? It's cleats and a ball. What
other equipment do you need for travel soccer?

Speaker 7 (14:22):
Really expensive soccer kit that he's going to have to
buy for travel soccer, Maybe that'd be a great thing
to get him for Christmas and boom So that's something
that fits my need. But also she feels really great
about and I don't have.

Speaker 5 (14:33):
To buy the plastic the soccer kit.

Speaker 8 (14:35):
You listen to this before, whether it's decorating or cooking,
how do you make sure that it's shared equally, Because
I do think sometimes it's one family or one couple
that catches the brunt of everything.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
You know, there is usually always an alpha sister.

Speaker 7 (14:46):
I would have no idea who that could be, but
there's usually somebody who's like more in charge. Some years,
some people can't do as much as other years. But
trade off trade off, hosting, trade off, traveling, trade off,
Planning the meal a trade off deciding what you're going
to get mom and dad. For Christmas, you know, my
siblings and I we get one gift for my parents
and we we discuss what.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
It's going to be and we share it, and and
that's that's God.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
This family sounds like they have no spontaneity do. Everything
is planned, Everything has a plan, Everything has you know,
a price tag. Everything has a do and a don't
attached to the plastic toys. This sounds horrible. For Thanksgiving
or Christmas, we discuss.

Speaker 7 (15:23):
What it's going to be and we share it and
and that's that's better than opening a lot of stuff.
My parents don't want a lot more stuff.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, right right, crazy family, the crazies. Yeah, you can
go have you know, Thanksgiving with the crazies.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
All right.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
The carrot recall got to let you know, you know,
if you're a vegan or a vegetarian you cut meat
out of your diet, I could wipe you out deadly.

Speaker 9 (15:47):
National ecoli outbreak in carrots has been linked to a
farm in Bakersfield.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Hey, another one. Remember we had the last one. California
had the last outbreak of E.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Coli. I think it was lettuce. I don't remember. I
don't remember.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
I think it was I don't know, no, it was
it was on the onions, That's what it was. It
was onions on the quarter pounder. They were wiping everybody
out and that was from northern California. Now we're getting closer,
we're in Bakersfield, and we get another another possibility to

(16:22):
wipe the rest of the country out with our with
our filth.

Speaker 9 (16:26):
The outbreak has caused one death. Dozens have been sickened
across eighteen states. Grim Way Farms in Bakersfield has recalled
its bag organic baby and whole Carrots.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
I think it's time also for a name change of
the farm, Grimway, grim Way, grim Way Farms got me sick?

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Grim Way What.

Speaker 9 (16:47):
Grimway Farms in Bakersfield has recalled its bag organic baby
and whole carrots. They were sold under different brand names
and Trader Joe's.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Sprout, Trader Joe's.

Speaker 9 (16:57):
Trader Joe's Sprouts, and Wegmans on the East coast.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
That's where all you fancy people go, Trader Joe's and Wagmen.

Speaker 9 (17:03):
Trader Joe's Sprouts and the end.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, Trader Show's Sprouts and Wagman's. You know, good morning,
good afternoon, and good night.

Speaker 9 (17:12):
Trader Joe's sprouts and Wegmans on the East Coast. The
company is investigating what happened and said we'll be reviewing
it's growing, harvesting and processing practices.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
E coli is uh feces most likely, and I don't
know where it came from, but we added in onions.
Now we got it in carrots, So enjoyed yourself.

Speaker 10 (17:32):
I'm pretty sure we know we're E colei.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah, but I don't know if I don't know if
it's from the cows or human E cola, you know,
but yeah, it's somebody's uh filth that made it into
your carrots.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
It's horrible, it is.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
I mean, you know, the the violent stomach you get
from that, and it's just oh man, it's just the worst.
And you can't really do anything about it. I don't
know what do you do?

Speaker 6 (17:55):
You wash your carrots? Does that take it off? It's
supposed to help boil? Yeah, cook them and wash them.
That's that at least will help.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Do you wash vegetables when you get to take them home?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (18:06):
Absolutem?

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, I think we do. I don't know if maybe
we don't, I don't know who knows, but I probably should.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Yes, you should.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
I remember my I remember my my wife's aunt looking
at me because I take the brush and I put
the potato underwater and I brushed the dirt off it
for baked potatoes. But I used the same brush that
I cleaned the dishes with. I remember my aunt looked
at me like, what.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
The hell is what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Because we have a special brush for just vegetables. I'm like, oh,
it's the same thing. This one has a little more
chlorox in it. You'll enjoy it. Aunt Sheryl, yes, right,
And I think she looked at me like, oh, hey,
what other shortcuts you take it? As you're a prepping
the meal here? Bub What the hell all I realized?

(18:59):
I watch your carrots again. They could seriously wipe you out.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Thanksgiving is a week from Thursday. One week from Thursday.
If you can believe that, that is cool. Coca Cola
always has their their ads come out right before Thanksgiving.
It'll continue all the way through Christmas and New Year's
and a lot of people are not warming up to
the newest one because it's AI generated AI generated holiday commercial.

(19:36):
Something a little crazy about that.

Speaker 11 (19:42):
One of the most iconic brands ringing in the holiday season.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
That's right.

Speaker 11 (19:46):
The closer look at the new Coca Cola commercial and
you might.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Know, Okay, they robbed my act.

Speaker 11 (19:53):
Ringing in the holiday season.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
That's me thing, done thing.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
Do.

Speaker 11 (20:00):
Take a closer look at the new.

Speaker 10 (20:01):
Coca at the end of the ding dong.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Oh really, But.

Speaker 11 (20:06):
Take a closer look at the new Coca Cola commercial
in the holiday season.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
But take oh yeah, yeah, yeah, good year.

Speaker 11 (20:14):
Yeah, but he fought it the holiday season. But take
a closer look at the new Coca Cola commercial and
you might notice that it was made with artificial intelligence.
Social media is certainly caught with it. Shows how lifeless
that Christmas commercial is. It was supposed to be a
reimagination of the iconic Holidays Are Coming campaign from nineteen

(20:37):
ninety five, but nearer the beverage behemoth now facing backlash
for taking the real people and the cheer out of
the holidays. PoCA Cola just put out an ad and
ruin Christmas and their entire brand.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
It's left okay, well, a little overstating.

Speaker 11 (20:54):
I think PoCA Cola just put out an ad and
ruined Christmas and their entire brand.

Speaker 5 (20:58):
It's less best, more creepy holiday vibes.

Speaker 11 (21:02):
Coca Cola is just the latest company to serve generative
AI to its consumers.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah, it's nothing like a cold ice cold either a
can or a glass of coke Man that is the
best toys.

Speaker 11 (21:16):
R Us teamed up with Open Ai Sora to produce
this commercial, saying the program allowed the company to tell
this incredible story with remarkable speed and efficiency, but the reaction.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
It all just felt really creepy.

Speaker 11 (21:30):
Why do you think companies are just toying around so
much with AI in this moment they save money?

Speaker 8 (21:36):
Well, it's a push for marketing efficiency, right, how do
we create more with less? I mean, that's just that's
sort of business one on one.

Speaker 11 (21:43):
Behind the scenes, companies are ramping up AI used to
young brands. The parent company behind Taco Bell, Pizza Hut,
and KFC has reportedly started testing promotional emails written by AI.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, young exec
Joe Parks said it allows the company to engage customer
with the relevant offers at the right time. Park adding

(22:04):
the company's early trials have already bumped up engagement and
boosted sales.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Wow, But to generate the holiday.

Speaker 11 (22:10):
Spirit with computers that fizzled out and fell flat with consumers.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
They'll fix this. Coca Cola is pretty smart.

Speaker 11 (22:22):
And we should mention we did reach out to Coca Cola, Toys,
r US and Young Brands for comment. We haven't gotten
a response from them, but experts say this is a
big test for AI ads. Will also remember that Apple
ad from earlier this year where it had that compressor
that was crushing.

Speaker 12 (22:36):
AI.

Speaker 11 (22:37):
So consumers are coming around to this. But again, brand
experts that I spoke to have said, is this likely
to change people's behavior in terms of what beverage they
choose to drink?

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Problem?

Speaker 3 (22:45):
No, not at all. Probably not to drink probably not.

Speaker 5 (22:49):
So it's the human figures that are AI.

Speaker 11 (22:51):
Yeah, olivers were never reals, were never real, yet they
are very deadly. But yes, the humans, I think is
what people picked up on that. It's like, yeah, that
just looks a little awful.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, steph fo sho. I go to you.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
You're my favorite fast food junkie, like I am. Are
you a coke guy or a pepsi guy?

Speaker 3 (23:12):
You know?

Speaker 13 (23:13):
I I was always on coke, especially when they came
out with the zero. But I remember, I still remember
now I had I had, I had a pepsi and
didn't realize that it wasn't coke, and I was like, wow,
this is this one's a good can Like, Oh, I
think I'm a pepsi guy, pepsi?

Speaker 1 (23:28):

Speaker 10 (23:48):

Speaker 12 (23:51):

Speaker 10 (23:56):

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (23:58):
All right, angel with coke? I am.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I just wrote my name down as dad.

Speaker 10 (24:08):
What do you want?

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Kids? Kids? Kids? Kids?

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Please, for God's sake, you're give me a headache.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Calm down. I'll tell you when we get back.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
But also when we come back, there was a huge
fire that we're going to talk about. And there is
another Portos opening up in Orange County and if you
know this, another Porthos welcome back. I'm going to tell
you Orange County Heights where that is going to be.
And because you don't care coke? Who cares? I'm I'm

(24:47):
a big coke. I don't mind pepsi. I'll drink it,
but I always ask for coke. I think it's what
you brought up, you know, and you're brought up on
one or the other, and that it's your lifelong brand.
You know, if you use tide to clean your clothes,
you use tide? Your grandmother did, your mom did your
great grandmother did a lot of you know, just a

(25:08):
tradition in your family. Some people are downy, some people are.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Tied and Kalgan take me away or.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Costco they have their own brand, croach. Are you coke
or pepsi? What do you prefer?

Speaker 3 (25:22):
I don't really do soda? Is that much? So either one?

Speaker 6 (25:24):
I don't really Everybody else talks about like, what is
it pepsi supposed to be sweeter?

Speaker 3 (25:28):
I don't really notice the difference. Oh is that true? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (25:31):
I didn't know that. That's what I heard. All Right,
I'm gonna put you down as coke. Yeah sure, all right?
So we got one, two, three, four five coke and
a pepsi. Wow generation generation.

Speaker 6 (25:43):
And then some people prefer diet pepsi to dike coke
di coke, but they'll like regular cocover pepsi.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
It's people are weird.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah, I'm a shasta guy. I'm my old school.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
They go, I still whatever.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
I go to restaurants like you guys have shasta, Like, no,
we don't shasta. Nobody sells shasta.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
H ch root. Here was the orange one too.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Now I gotta go get some where they still sell
it shasta.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Well, the ninety nine only saw his clothes.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
So yeah, I went to two dollar Trees over the week,
and I went to Dollar General and then the Dollar Tree.
I didn't find what I was looking for at the
Dollar Tree, so I had to go to Dollar General,
and I found exactly what I was looking for. Cheap
paint brushes and cheap paint tarps to put down on painting.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
That's nice. I did the exact same thing. Yes, I
did some paint. You know a crozer.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
You know this because you were in construction for a
long time. But man, for when when you're painting, it's
all about the prep. All about the prep.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
Absolutely eighty percent of your painting a room will be
done before you actually touch paint today.

Speaker 10 (26:49):
Rush, yeah, I believe, okay.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah yeah, but I had, you know, steel wool. I'm
painting a railing outside, so a wire brush, steel wool, cheesecloth,
you know, the whole run. Look at you, you know,
just like a literally sweat my ass off all sunday
working outside.

Speaker 6 (27:07):
I did it all inside. I was painting trim in
a room. Oh that's cool, baseboard windows, all that jazz.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Ding DeLong with you. All right, we're live.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
We'll come back and tell you where the newest Porthos
is going to be.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
We have a brand new Portos in Orange County, beautiful bakery.
They're very popular when they open. There are lines around
the block to get the food. I like the food.
I like those prices. Well, Downtown Disney is going to
be your nearest Porthos, your next Portos in Orange County.

Speaker 7 (27:43):
Now, you could soon double fisted Portos cheese rolled.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Ty.

Speaker 11 (27:48):
You could soon double fisted Portos cheese rolled.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
I never heard that term before used in a bakery
in a main street USA.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
Four dogs.

Speaker 8 (28:02):
I can't believe how many places they're opening up. Where
you can actually kind of do that. You know, this
is kind of like the common joke when you're going
around Disneyland is like, where can someone get a drink
around here? Well, there's plenty places in Downtown Disney. Disneyland
opening up here shortly there with the rope drop, So
everybody getting really excited about their day today, and there's
so much excitement about the brand new offerings at Downtown Disney.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
We got some Downtown Disney, a lot of new restaurants.
Listen up, listen carefully.

Speaker 8 (28:29):
At Downtown Disney, we got some.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
Brand new renderings.

Speaker 8 (28:32):
So we're going to show you exactly what we have
in store, and there a lot of food and shopping
as well. We're going to start off with Avengers Reserve,
so everything Marvel Universe is going to be there. Lots
of sculptures, they'll even have some movie props, comic books
and gaming. It's all about the merch there. And then
d Landers Shop, which is one of your kind of
high end stores there where they do co branded merchandise

(28:54):
with Disney, with brands like Kate Spade, Dudey and Burke.
Disney Wonderful World of Sweets is all about the suits
of course, and there's going to be a huge candy store,
and then there's another food offering called Parkside Market.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
I learned that on the that sounds good park Side market.

Speaker 8 (29:11):
Food offering called Parkside Market. I learned that on the
second story of Parkside Market is actually an area we
can get a view of Downtown Disney and actually has
some cocktails up there. And downstairs there's a couple of
different restaurants, including a Korean restaurant, a chicken restaurant, and
then one of our favorite coffee shops, Sip and Saunders.
One of the biggest announcement coming out of this is
Portos Porthos.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Here we go Porthos.

Speaker 8 (29:34):
Porthos and it's a brand new concept from Porto's a
big favorite in southern California, and this will actually be
a sit down restaurant, a massive Portos that is two
stories and this will is.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
He the only guy that pronounces it that way or
my hearing things, it was always Portos, you know, I'm
going to Portos, not Porthos.

Speaker 8 (29:54):
Porthos, And it's Porthos Porthos and.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
It's wait, that's the Cuban pronunciation that's possible it's a
Cuban bakery.

Speaker 8 (30:01):
Portos and it's a brand new concept from Porto's, a
big favorite in southern California. And this will actually be
a sit down restaurant, a massive Portos.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
That is two massive portos, massive.

Speaker 8 (30:14):
Portos that is two stories, and this will also be
offering cocktails.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Can you say Mohito's.

Speaker 8 (30:20):
And then there are two brand new restaurants that they
will be opening sometime in the winter, Arthur's and Sons
and Pearls Roadside Barbecue. Arthur's and Sons is a high
end steak restaurant and Pearls Roadside Barbecue.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Obviously some barbecue there.

Speaker 8 (30:33):
But they're gonna they're talking about bourbon and some craft
cocktails out to be serving there.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, that's a good idea because at anytime when a
family would go to Disneyland, they would always venture out
after the park closed or after they you know, they
go back to the hotel room, and then they would
get all dressed up and find a local steakhouse, you know,
like the White House in Orange County. But now they
have loaded up downtown Disney with some really good, you

(31:01):
know meals where you can get a nice, beautiful steak
and a great Italian meal right there, so you can
go back to the hotel room shower after, you know,
get ready after Disneyland and go right back to Downtown
Disney and stay there and eat and enjoy yourself as well.

Speaker 8 (31:16):
So in adults playground as well for Downtown Disney. And
again everything starts getting underway at December, on December the seventh,
so that's about three weeks away, and then throughout the
winter you'll see you'll start seeing them rolling out some
of those other shopping and dining options.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
So lots of things to come.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
That's ever changing here. Wow, I'm really loving the new porthos.

Speaker 9 (31:38):
What a slice of southern California that's going to be.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (31:43):
So actually sit down at a Portoso. Yeah yeah, I
have them serve you and who knows, you know, there's
probably some some home cooked meals there.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
We have a sit down Portos and Burbank. Not bragging,
I'm just saying we've had one for a long time,
so that concept is nothing new to people live in Burbank.
Thank you very much. All right, that feature we always
talk about Disney. What's going on Disney at six fifty
