Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am sixty and you're listening to the Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
And to remind you of the mess you left when
you went away.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
It's not bear to deny me of the cross side
bear that you get to me.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
You you you you you you you Autumn.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
No, that's from the office, right. Yeah, he went through
a breakup too, so he's saying that with that shit.
It's great. Who was it they went through the breakup?
That was Kevin?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Oh, Kevin the Big Yeah. Yeah, that's my favorite. That
is That is an unbelievable character. That's the Office. I
got into the Office late in life, like like four
years after they stopped producing that show, and I never
got it, never understood it. I didn't really try to either.
(00:58):
And then I was in Oregon with my daughter. We
were snowed in. My wife is there. We're just three
of us sitting there, nothing to do. And my daughter,
she was only fifteen or sixteen at the time, maybe fifteen,
she just hey, Dad, will you do me a favor?
And she never asked for anything, never asked for any
favors though I said, hey, yeah, what do you mean?
And she I just want you to watch three episodes
(01:19):
of the Office. I said, I'm not going to do that,
and she said, seriously, please just watch three episodes. You
know they're only twenty two minutes. I said, I don't
want to do that. You know, I'd rather go out
and you know, make snowman or something, or play outside
in the snow. She was, Dad, please just watch three episodes.
I said, all right, all right, I'll watched this stupid show.
I watched the first show, the first episode, and I
(01:42):
looked at her and I go, I don't get it.
I don't get it. She could watch another one. I said,
all right, put another one on. I watched the second episode, Hooked, Hooked,
became an unbelievable fan, had to watch them all, downloaded
them all, bought them all, and you can't stop watching him.
Cannot stop watching that show. And I think there's a
(02:05):
fine line between love and hate with a TV show.
I never got it. I never understood any of those
characters or you know, the show came from England. I
tried to watch that version of it. I needed subtitles
because of the thick accent. I didn't get that show
at all. And I never even bothered watching it, and
then after the second episode, Man, I stayed up sometimes
(02:25):
till three in the morning, just laughing my ass off. Well,
my wife and daughter are you know, upstairs trying to sleep.
They're like, hey, Dad, keep it down. I know I'm
watching The Office. It's really funny. You got to see
this episode. Yeah, we've seen them all, seen them all.
That show's eighteen years old, dad, But I know that
Steph Fush is a big fan as well.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Were you a big fan from the get go? You
like watch it every week?
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (02:49):
I got into it around season two, and this is
when this is before streaming, So I was like, I'm
a very I have to watch everything in order. So
I watched one episode and it was the carpet episode, okay,
and I was like, this is amazing, but I need
to get all the jokes. So I got the DVDs
on Netflix and watched it all the way up to
(03:09):
where it was and then I was hooked after that.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, yeah, I wish.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I was hooked when it came out, you know, because
there's something nice. Like my wife was a big nine
H two one ol fam and friends. She loved friends,
and so she would get together with friends, not with
the show, but I mean, you know, with her personal
friends and watch the new episode they came out. They
would get together to watch friends, and I thought, well,
(03:33):
that'd be cool, you know, guys come over and watch
The Office.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I don't know how many guys I can get out
to do that.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
But that's the other thing that was funny is that
I felt like such a weirdo in school because no one,
none of my friends knew about the show. And kind
of like you, they're like, I don't what is this about?
Because it looks like a serious thing, because this is
like one of the bigger mockumentaries that you know, kind
of blew up beside spinal tap. And then you know,
I just was in love with it, but no one
got it. So now it's got a resurgence because when
(03:59):
it went on net Flicks and now it's on Peacock obviously.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
And it's my favorite show by far. I can't stop
watching when it's on. I just got to keep watching
it over and over and over. I can't speak highly enough.
If you've not gotten into the Office, you know, somebody said, ay,
you should watch The Office.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
You should watch it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It is unbelievable and one of the characters is that
John Krininsky K Krasinski, Guy one hasn't been on TV
in years. That's not true. He has some kind of
specially he does, or some kind of you know, new
series he does. But he's been voted the sexiest man Alive,
the sexiest man alive. And he's not a young guy.
(04:41):
He's probably in his late forties, early fifties. Yeah, he's
He was in the Jack Ryan series. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes,
and now he's the sexiest man alive alive.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
People has spoken. The magazine named John Krasinski the twenty
twenty four Sexiest Man Alive.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Writer and director says he was surprised when he found out.
Speaker 9 (05:03):
Zero thoughts other than maybe I'm being punped, and then
after that it was just yeah, it was a full surreality.
That's not how I wake up usually thinking, is this
the day that I'll be asked to be sexiest man Alive?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
The forty five year old joke that he is hoping
his wife, actress Emily Blant.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
All right, so he's forty five years old. That's a
little long in the tooth to win Sexiest Man Alive.
You know, those are reserved for guys in their twenties,
late twenties, early thirties. Forty five is you know, bottom
of the ninth inning?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I think for that award Sexiest Man Alive the forty
five year old joke that he is hoping his wife,
actress Emily Blunt makes good on a problem.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Isn't she in that series too, Emily Blunt? No, they
did a Quiet Place to Move. Oh yeah, that's right,
that's what they did right now.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Dose Emily Blunt makes good on a promise to plaster
the magazine cover as wallpaper at their home. You can
see more at people dot com. The issue is available
on newsstands now.
Speaker 8 (05:58):
Krisinski start in the office before launching the Quiet Place
franchise and leading the action series Jack Ryan. He succeeds
Patrick Dempsey, who was last year Sexiest Man Alive. Other
recent honoories include Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, and Michael B.
Speaker 10 (06:11):
Jordan.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
I think, you know he brings kind of a guy
next door. Many people would say, you know, Chris Evans
is Chris Evans.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Michael B. Jordan is Michael B. Jordan.
Speaker 8 (06:19):
John Krisiski, You're like, he reminds me of my friend's cousin.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, that's true. I mean he does.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
He does remind you of a guy that lives next
door and you know, is not a big deal, but
he had an unbelievable story that he told I think
it was on I think he told him to a
Stephen Colbert and this is an unbelievable story.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
And I'll just read the audio.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Oh we do, okay, all right, but I'll try to
paraphrase it for you to try to remember as much
as again. Actually, you know, let me do. Let me
get the audio, because the audio is is much better.
But it's a story of not giving up in life.
And it's a great story about not giving up. You know,
a lot of people come out to Los Angeles and
(07:04):
they want to act or direct, they want to be
a movie star, an athlete or whatever. And you give
yourself a window, and you know, and it it went in.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Three years, four years, five years, whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And then once that window closes, a lot of people
go back to Columbus, Saint Louis, Miami, wherever they are,
and they take a job. You know, they're four or
five six years behind their buddies that they graduated high
school with, and and a lot of people do that.
A lot of people leave la never achieving their dreams. Well,
this guy, who's just one of the sexiest man life
(07:38):
has a different story, and we come back. I'm going
to play it for you. But it's an incredible story
of how he didn't give up and how and how
awesome his mom was because at one point he's he said,
I'm going to give it five years and the mom said,
you've got to bail out on your own. I'm not
going to tell you when your dreams are over. That's
(07:58):
a great line. That's a great line. All right, going back,
we'll play the audio. It's really a great story. You
wanted to stick around and listen to it.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
It is really is. It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
All right, the guy that played Jim on The Office?
Is that right, Krozier?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I mean Jim right? Play Yim?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Absolutely not good with it, John Krazinski. He tells a
great story about almost giving up on his dreams and
then he got the Office. He's done some other projects
and he just won Sexiest Man Alive Alive Worldwide Alive,
(08:43):
Sexiest Man alive. And so if you are in town,
you're driving around, you've been around for a year or two,
You've run into the roadblock, some speed bumps in your career.
You want to be an actor and actress, singer, songwriter, director, whatever.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Maybe it'll give you some motivation to stick it out
for another couple of months, a couple of years, whatever.
But listen to this story and how how close, how
close this was for John to have made the decision
to stick it out a little longer, and who was
responsible for it. This is a great story is on
(09:20):
Stephen Colbert, John Crazinci.
Speaker 11 (09:22):
You were going to be a teacher.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I understand that's right.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
I was in college. I was going to be a
teacher all the way up till the end. And then,
out of sheer laziness, I went to Brown University.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
That took mid year.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Yeah, at the end.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
So I came in mid year. I had to go
to school in January. They accepted me midyear.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
And so why did they accept you MIDI They had a.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Program for the thirty two kids that didn't get in.
They had they let you inlisted and then they said
hang tough with like one of those kitten posters and
then we got in a couple listed. Yeah, so out
of sheer laziness. After my friends graduated in May, I thought, well,
I'm going to be an English teacher, so let's just
find a place that transfers credits back. And there was
(10:02):
a theater school, and I went to that theater school
and it completely changed my life. The National Theater Institute
at the Eugene O'Neil Center changed my life.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Oh wow, yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Know your dad.
Speaker 11 (10:10):
Dad's a doctor. Yep, mom's a nurse, very respectable jobs. Yes,
Were they at all worried about you doing something quite
so vagabond as being an actor.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I'm sure they were. I'm sure they were the express
their worry.
Speaker 11 (10:24):
Do they say, please, don't throw your life.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
No, I'm from one of those amazing families where I
was leaving that theater school that I told you, truly.
My mom came to pick me up from that theater
school after sixteen weeks or something, and as soon as
the car left the driveway of the school, I said,
I'm moving to New York and I'm going to be
an actor. And my mom paused for probably half a second,
and she said, great, go do it. The only thing
I asked you is in two and a half or
three years, if you don't have any sense that this.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Is going to happen.
Speaker 9 (10:48):
We used to fish as kids, so she was like,
if you don't get a nibble or a bite in
two and a half or three years, you have to
make me one promise. And I said what And she said,
you got to pull yourself out because as your mother,
you can't ask me to tell you to give up
on your dreams. I said, that's so profound, and yes, fair.
Cut to two and a half years later. I was like,
so I'm out.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
This is terrible. It's so scary.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
This is the worst waiting tables, not as fun as
they say. And she said, you know, it's September. Just
wait it out, just wait till the end of the year.
Don't give up just yet. I was ready to. I
was telling her to come get me and in New York. Yeah,
and three weeks later I got the office.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah that worked out. So it worked out.
Speaker 9 (11:29):
You know, I give her a lot of love and
ten percent, so you know she deserves it.
Speaker 11 (11:32):
So that's something that all parents should know, is that
success is only three weeks away.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Just three more weeks. That was just three weeks, just
waited out. Yeah, your dreams will come.
Speaker 11 (11:42):
To like career forming, like historically funny television.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
She's success. See you get it. Yeah that's great.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Now I lead back it up here a second where
he his mom said, the greatest thing ever. If your
mom out there, listen and re remember this part of
this story.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
The only thing I asked you is in two and
a half for three years.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
This is this is his mom talking. Okay, this is
his mom talking.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
The only thing I asked you is in two and
a half for three years. If you don't have any
sense that this is gonna happen, we usuficious kids. So
she was like, if you don't get a nibble or
a bite in two and a half or three years,
you have to make me one promise. And I said
what And she said, you got to pull yourself out
because as your mother, you can't ask me to tell
you to give up on your dreams.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That is beautiful that if you're a new mother learned
from that. I'm gonna play it again.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
All right.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Maybe you're a little distracted, maybe you got the kids
in the car, maybe the kids are with you. Please
remember this. Please remember this if you're a mom or
a dad, all right, remember this this comment here. The
only thing again, this is him talking as his mom.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
The only thing I asked you is in two and
a half for three years, if you don't have any
sense that this is gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
We used toficius kids.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
So she was like, if you don't get a nibble
or a bite in two and a half or three years,
you have to make me one promise. And I said what?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
And she said, you got to pull yourself out.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Because as your mother, wough, you can't ask me to
tell you to give up on your dreams.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
How great is that. It's the exact opposite of most
moms and dads, you know. Most moms or dads are like, oh,
you should have given up a long time ago. You're horrible,
you know. I remember I had not a similar story.
But when I was ten or eleven, maybe twelve years old,
I was pitching in a West Valley little league and
(13:28):
I was the pitcher on the team. We had two
or three pitchers and there was a game. It was
a Thursday afternoon or Friday afternoon after school, and I
showed up around three point thirty. We had a four
o'clock game, and it was my day to pitch. And
back then in little league you only pitch six innings.
Six innings was a complete game. So I started pitching.
(13:49):
I get the first three guys out. The second thing,
I get the next three guys out. Third inning, no runs,
no hits, no air, it's nothing. The fourth inning, the
coach says to me, hey, you got a no hitter going,
and I said, ah, I didn't even know that. I
didn't realize that. Fourth inning, no hits. Fifth inning, struck
(14:11):
out the side. Sixth inning comes up and the first
guy grounds out. I believe, second guy popped out, third
guy struck out. I remember that, and the entire team
runs to the mound and mobs me because I just
pitched a no hitter. When I was twelve years old,
(14:32):
I pitched a no hitter and I couldn't believe it.
And the fan, I mean the audience, the parents, the
parents in the stands were all going crazy. Even the
parents from the other team were like standing up and applauding.
And I remember going off the field and the coach
(14:54):
gave me the game ball, and it was one of
the best days of my childhood by far.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And I get home and my dad had gotten home late,
around nine thirty or so, and.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I still have my Boston Red Sox uniform on right
with the dirt on the knees and all that crap.
And my dad gets home. I go, hey, Dad, I
pitched a no hitter today, a perfect game. He goes, ah,
Tea used to call me Tea.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Oh man, t that's great.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
God.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I wish I was there. I wish I could have
seen that. That's unbelievable. Tell me about it, I said.
I told him about the the game, and I said, Dad,
I think I got something here. And he sat me
down and he goes, Tim, you're not that great and
I'm like, wait, but I just pitched no hit her.
(15:44):
He's like, yeah, I know, but I've seen the kids
you're pitching. Again, said they're not going anywhere either, So
I'm going to save you a lot of time in
life and let you know that's not the path you
should take. And you know what, as the press thing
as it was when he said that to me, I
thanked him later because can you imagine, you know, I
(16:06):
didn't have the I didn't have the level of first
of all, I didn't have the desire to do it.
And you really have to have the desire to be
in the major leagues or to play, you know, competitive
college baseball on a high level school. You have to have.
It has to be in your blood. You have to
(16:27):
get up in the morning think about it. You have
to work out all day, you have to eat properly.
You've got to find the right coach. You've got to
improve your strength. You've got to avoid injury. You've got
to be on with the right team. You got to
be in the right place the right time. There's politics involved,
there's a million things you got to do before you
even played college baseball. And I didn't have it in me.
And I just waited three weeks. Yeah, and my dad
(16:48):
knew it. My dad knew it. He's like, Tim, you're
pitching against kids that will never even make our high
school team, let alone college or pros.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
These kids are not that great.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And I said, all right, and uh, and uh, you know,
I'm and I and I went on to you know,
pitching little league, but not in high school.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I didn't pitch in high school or college. But I
didn't have it.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I didn't have what it takes to become a you know,
an athlete. And my dad knew that, and so he
saved me a hell of a lot of time and
anger and anguish and working out and missing out on
sleepovers and going on you know, my trips to play
baseball and other cities and other states and all that
(17:31):
stuff to be at a point in my life where
I just wasn't gonna make it. So I I do
thank him for that is as much as as depressing
as it was when I heard it. That guy with
that comment saved me a lot of headaches, a lot.
He also saved himself getting up at five am, you know,
traveling to Orange County to watch his kid get rocked
(17:54):
in the first inning, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Nine earned runs.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Tim, Hey, tell us about that no hitter you had
again when you're twelve.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Dad, Please let's get the du pars.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I don't know, Belly, Oh, maybe you're like me, Krozer.
I don't know if you do this or not. Maybe Angel,
did you ever go to second hand store or I
don't know, like a goodwill and you look around for
something you think is really valuable, and you can get
it for like three dollars and sell it for like
eight hundred dollars. I do that all the time. Oh yeah,
I don't really find much. But how about this this
(18:32):
vase that somebody who's using as a door stop made
him a couple of bucks.
Speaker 12 (18:37):
An eighteenth century bust purchase for six dollars and used
as a doorstop could now fetch millions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
How about that a vase.
Speaker 12 (18:46):
An eighteenth century bust purchase.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
For a bust, sorry, a bust, a bust used as
a door stop could get millions.
Speaker 12 (18:55):
An eighteenth century bust purchase for six dollars and used
as a doorstop could now fetch millions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
The bust and.
Speaker 12 (19:03):
Depicting John Gordon, the founder of a small Scottish town,
was acquired in nineteen thirty, but it disappeared, only to
reappear in nineteen ninety eight as a doorstop at an
industrial complex. Since then, it's been in the Louver and Laghetty,
But now a court has approved a private buyer to
acquire it for three million dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Oh god, three million dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Used as a doorstop for years it was moved around
by somebody's foot when they wanted to shut it. Oh
my god, oh man, I'd love to have had that sucker.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Ah. That would have been great, that would have been unbelievable.
All Right.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
The San Fernando Valley I've argued for many, many decades
on the air. I would say close to thirty years
that the San Fernando Valley has nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
There's no five star restaurant. There's no professional football team,
no basketball, no baseball, no hockey, no country club where
they come out and play.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Them Masters or PGA. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
There's nothing in the San Fernando Valley. There's no racetrack,
there's no auto track. There's no big, huge theater where
people go and see terrific performances by a Philharmonic or
world class Broadway plays. The San Fernando Valley has nothing.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
If you're in the San Fernando Valley and you say
to ways or you know, whatever GPS you have in
your rental car, they say, what's the nearest tourist attraction?
None of it is in the valley. It'll say Universal Studios,
which technically is not in the valley. Technically it's in
Universal City. It's on the edge of the valley. But
everything else Disneyland that is not in the valley. Neither
(20:49):
is Magic Mountain, neither is Knotsbury Farm or Santa Monica
or Hollywood. None of this is in the valley. And
when the valley was going to get their own light rail,
what do they do to the valley? They put in
a bus lane, a bus lane in the San Fernando Valley.
(21:13):
So while everybody else had light rail, cruise around light rail,
we had a bus. They put in the orange line. Well,
guess what, Santa Fernando Valley, you might be in luck
here gearing up for the very first light rail after
decades and decades of being ignored, totally ignored, the.
Speaker 13 (21:34):
Nice boulevard will be transformed by a new light rail project.
Trains will run along the middle of the thoroughfare nine
point two miles from the G Line to the Silmar
San Fernando Metrolink station.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
And it's really going to connect a lot of rail
lines in the San Fernando Valley, starting with the G Line.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
There aren't a lot of rail lines in the valley.
I don't know who's talking here. There's a lot of
bus lines, but they're there are no rail lines in
the San Fernando Valley unless you're talking about the Metro.
But the Metro is not a local transportation. You know,
there's like four stops in the valley.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
Rail lines in the San Fernando.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Valley now no light rail. It's bus lanes starting with.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
The g Lin and Van Eyes continuing through Panorama City, Arlita.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
And that would be the first one, not many, first
Arlita and Pacoima.
Speaker 13 (22:27):
It's a comeback for light rail in the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Wait, it's a comeback for light rail. When did the
light When does San Fernanzo have any rail? You can't
come back from something you never had. They never had anything.
Speaker 13 (22:38):
It's a comeback. It's not rail in the San Fernando
Valley is not which hasn't seen streetcar service since nineteen
fifty two.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
I am eager to use it.
Speaker 13 (22:46):
Rosie Crooks was born and raised in Pacoima.
Speaker 14 (22:49):
I think there is a lot of opportunity. I think
there's going to be a lot of change to the community.
I'm concerned about the congestion. I'm concerned about parking, but
it'll it'll be.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Nice, Yeah, it'll be nice once the San Fernando Valley
gets treated like the city of la personally, Like I'm
a big because right now we just send all our
tax dollars over the hill, all the San Fernando Valley
tax dollars from all the homes in the valley. It
goes over the hill to schools, it goes over the
hill to light rail, it goes over the hill to
build stadiums. Nothing in the valley.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Nothing personally, Like, I'm a big fan of the Metro
in general. So I'm just here for you know, just
general information. I just want to know more about the project.
Speaker 13 (23:27):
Area residents and business owners had a chance to meet
with Metro Tuesday night. Officials provided renderings and took questions.
Preliminary work on utilities for the voter approved five point
six billion dollar projects has already begun. Heavy construction is
slated to begin in spring of next year.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Well that's great, We're getting the rail kids. The valley's
coming back.
Speaker 13 (23:49):
Metro says they are aware that business owners and neighbors
may be concerned about the impact of the area while
the rail line is being built.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
We do have a business interruption fund for small, mob
and pop businesses that are affected by construction. We also
have a Eat Shop and Play program that helps businesses
market themselves.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Is that Eat Shop and Play?
Speaker 6 (24:12):
The hell?
Speaker 12 (24:12):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
A each shop and Play, Eat Shop and Play, Each.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Shop and Play program that helps businesses market themselves.
Speaker 14 (24:21):
There's going to be a lot of challenges during the construction,
but we're all looking forward to it.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Change is good.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, okay, all right, well ding dong, we finally get
something in the valley.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I don't know if if you know this, but Jay
Leno was on with this yesterday. That was a cool deal.
And then I happen to be watching CBS this morning
and he was on CBS News this morning talking about
the Peterson Car Museum. You ever seen that that Peterson
Car Museum? Man, oh man, that's unbelievable. It's really cool.
They have literally hundreds and they just redid the outside
(24:56):
of it.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
Yeah, The whole thing is like looks like the outside
of like a Ferrari or something.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
They designed it exactly, but the cars in there. Did
Jay tell his I'm sorry, did Jay tell his potato joke?
You know? He did?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And he and this is so great because Jay Leno
has one of my favorite stories of all time, and
and he's like and he and he says, I go, hey, Jake,
can you tell the story. He goes, yeah, I'll tell
it because every time you tell, you screw it up.
And then he told the joke, and he screwed it up.
He told the joke, and he goes and he says, oh, yeah,
(25:31):
he took iron. You know, I kind of get that check.
And then so this guy gets a potato and he
puts in the front of his bathing some well no,
I mean, okay, he has a potato. And then he
went out and tell the joke. So he screwed it up,
like I screw it up all the time. I screwed
that joke up all the time, and he screwed it
up last night right on this program. But he was
(25:52):
able to say it because he's a professional comic. I
was unable to still a great joke. All Right, we
come back. I'll take a shot at telling that joke again,
because that's my one of my favorite jokes of all time. Croshe,
I'm gonna come in there and whip your ass. How
about that.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
All right, here's the joke that one of my favorite
jokes of Jay Leno is that he told yesterday. I'm
gonna try and tell it today because we get a
different audience. You know, audience comes in and out and
they're constantly moving around. All right, Here it is, two
guys are at the beach. One guy's bring a speedo
and he's gonna walk down the beach and try to
(26:37):
attract women.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
So he walks down the beach. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
No women are looking at this guy, absolutely nothing. Can't
get any action. So he comes back. He says to
his buddy. He goes, hey, man, I'm we're in the speedome.
You know, I'm pretty good shape, but I'm not getting
any action from any of the women. And his friend said, here,
stick this huge potato in your speedo.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
And they'll come running.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
So he puts the potato in his speedome walking down
the beach, and now instead of the women flocking to him,
they're like throwing things at him.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah, well, Robie, look at this guy.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Oh my god. So it goes back. He says, hey,
the potato thing didn't work. He says, buddy, you're supposed
to put the potato in front in the front of
your suit. It's a great joke. It's a great, solid joke.
It's a solid, solid joke, very solid. One of my
(27:36):
favorites from my j Leno, who is at the Peterson
Museum today. He was on with us last night and
at the Peter Museum Peterson Museum today.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
On CBS News. They got a big deal going on
out there.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
It's going in La legend that doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
It's probably got a card.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
And this is not just any car. It belonged to
Hollywood legend Steve Queen. Now worth more than thirty million dollars.
Oh my god, thirty million dollars for a car. The
Queen's fifty six Jag is one of the crown jewels
in a collection of more than four hundred classics at
the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, and chief mechanic
(28:17):
Dana Williamson is one of the only people in the
world trusted to drive it.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Jay Leno said, once he goes, how can you.
Speaker 9 (28:24):
Not look cool in that car?
Speaker 10 (28:27):
Turns out jay Leno is one of the museum's biggest fans.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
These at cars aren't just sitting here. You gotta run them, right, Yeah,
that's why I mean, I drive all of mine.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
Oh, she's trying to get some heat in her now.
Speaker 10 (28:40):
The comedian's lifelong obsession with cars is no secret.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yeah, guy's got a ton of cars. Man, how many
do you have now? I got two hundred and eight
on the road. It's a little stupid two hundred and
eight cars. Who I just.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Never sold anything. I'm what you would have called the
hoarder in the old days. Okay, but when they go
up in value or now you're a collector.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, Jay Leno, you can go see him, by the way,
if you can go see Jay Leno a week from
tonight at the Comedy Magic Club in her Mousea Beach.
He's doing something cool for the kids out there that
got a little too close to the stove or had
a burn accident. Grossman Burnfoundation dot org. And they're raising
a ton of money so they can treat kids who
(29:24):
can't afford that kind of surgery. Grossman Burn Foundation dot org.
It's tax deductible. You can go see Jay. Be a
great evening and you're doing something great for the kids.
So win, win, big dorm Grossmanburn Foundation dot org.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
All right, let's talk about this here where was that
report the drinking?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Oh here it is Okay, drinkers, I know a lot
of people will listen to radio also like to drink.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Well.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
New study shows an increase in heavy d.
Speaker 15 (30:00):
Heavy drinking went up about twenty percent from twenty eighteen
to twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
So we don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
After that, Yeah, the pandemic hit and everybody jumped in
the bottle.
Speaker 15 (30:11):
So what's heavy drinking you?
Speaker 3 (30:13):
That's the question. Okay, bhi, what's heavy drinking? This is?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
This always irritates me because heavy drinking differs from one
person to another. One guy says it's a glass of
wine every six months, and the other guy says it's
a gallon and a half of vodka every two hours.
So I don't know where the line is here.
Speaker 15 (30:30):
So what's heavy drinking you?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
That's the question. Okay, yeah, So what constant.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Has a drink?
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 15 (30:34):
So they define heavy drinking as four or more drinks
a day for women at anyone's setting, or eight or
more in a week. For men, it's five or more
drinks in a certain day in one day, or fifteen
or more in a week.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
I'm just not.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Aingay, I'm a heavy drinker. That's pretty cool. I made it,
not only I finally made it. I'm sure you're proud.
Speaker 15 (30:55):
For men, it's five or more drinks in a certain
day in one day, or fifteen or more in a week.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I mean it's fifteen in a week. You can do
fifteen by tuesday.
Speaker 15 (31:04):
I mean it's not an abrupt cutoff, but that's the
general idea.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
What's a drink?
Speaker 15 (31:08):
Yes, yeah, I see you in your eyes, and dude, like, is.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Beer stronger than Vodkar?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Wait a minute?
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Why is beer stronger than vodkar?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
That's a woman who's never had a drink, never seen
the inside of a bar. Is beer stronger than vodka?
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Is beer stronger than Vodkart?
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Oh my god? What's going on with this lady?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You know what, that's the kind of stupidity that comes
from alcoholics. Yeah, alcoholics are the always the ones you
are like, hey, so is there alcohol in that drink?
I've never had one before? And they go home and
they chulgug a gug glug every night.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
So I had to look all this stuff up. I
didn't really know everything about this.
Speaker 15 (31:47):
So fourteen grams of pure alcohol is a drink, which
is twelve ounces of a beer, five ounces of wine
or one point five ounces of distilled spirits.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Why do you think it's growing up? And also the
other question, why is it increasing among women?
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Oh that's a great question. Well, because women are just
like men.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
You know, they work, they have stress, they got kids,
they got stressed, they got money problems, relationship problems, and
when you drink, a lot of it goes away.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Not in the long run, not in the long run,
in the short run.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Why is it increasing among women?
Speaker 15 (32:27):
Yeah, so that's something that's of concern. And we've known
for a couple of decades now that we're seeing an
increase in liver disease. That's cirrhosis, which is scarring of
the liver, very serious, can lead to all sorts of problems,
including liver failure.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
What a downer, this guy is, my god, and liver cancer? Right, okay,
God Almighty, give us a break.
Speaker 15 (32:44):
I spoke to one of the authors last night.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
I say, I asked that very same question.
Speaker 15 (32:48):
You know, nobody knows exactly there's more marketing to women, right,
You've seen that in recent years it's become more socially
acceptable for women to drink. And then you know what,
nobody really knows is during the pandemic, was there more
stress on women?
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Because yes, I'll just jump in here.
Speaker 15 (33:07):
Yes, was there more stress on women because they had
to do maybe a little bit more in the household.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
That's sort of like a.
Speaker 15 (33:14):
You know, maybe that's it. But when you think about
what happened during the pandemic, which is there was more anxiety,
there was more depression, there was more stress, and people
often turn down.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
There's more drinks too, a lot more.
Speaker 15 (33:24):
To alcohol, thinking well, that's going to relieve it, well
for anxiety temporarily, big underline, temporarily.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I see Ronner in there, who's coming in? Mo's not
in today, but Chris Meryl is going to take over,
Timmy Roner?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Do you tip the bottle at all? You ever take
a swig?
Speaker 16 (33:42):
I have been known to enjoy an adult cocktail from
time to time, as as fate may have it. I
never have more than two a night, but okay, sometimes
they can. They can be kind of large, all right,
I get that.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
But you know, you're you're living the life I would
love to live, which is that you go home and
you have a couple of pop and you and you
stay up until six am.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Well you make it.
Speaker 16 (34:03):
I'm often up writing until six am, so it's not
all fun in games.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
It doesn't matter. I mean, I don't know if you've.
Speaker 16 (34:09):
Heard about this, but it's a good idea for people
to have backup working right around really yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Okay, I get that, all right, Ronners here, Chris Merrill's
here in for MO for the rest of the week,
and I think it'll be back on Monday. We're live
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
through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am sixty and you're listening to the Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
And to remind you of the mess you left when
you went away.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
It's not bear to deny me of the cross side
bear that you get to me.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
You you you you you you you Autumn.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
No, that's from the office, right. Yeah, he went through
a breakup too, so he's saying that with that shit.
It's great. Who was it they went through the breakup?
That was Kevin?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Oh, Kevin the Big Yeah. Yeah, that's my favorite. That
is That is an unbelievable character. That's the Office. I
got into the Office late in life, like like four
years after they stopped producing that show, and I never
got it, never understood it. I didn't really try to either.
(00:58):
And then I was in Oregon with my daughter. We
were snowed in. My wife is there. We're just three
of us sitting there, nothing to do. And my daughter,
she was only fifteen or sixteen at the time, maybe fifteen,
she just hey, Dad, will you do me a favor?
And she never asked for anything, never asked for any
favors though I said, hey, yeah, what do you mean?
And she I just want you to watch three episodes
(01:19):
of the Office. I said, I'm not going to do that,
and she said, seriously, please just watch three episodes. You
know they're only twenty two minutes. I said, I don't
want to do that. You know, I'd rather go out
and you know, make snowman or something, or play outside
in the snow. She was, Dad, please just watch three episodes.
I said, all right, all right, I'll watched this stupid show.
I watched the first show, the first episode, and I
(01:42):
looked at her and I go, I don't get it.
I don't get it. She could watch another one. I said,
all right, put another one on. I watched the second episode, Hooked, Hooked,
became an unbelievable fan, had to watch them all, downloaded
them all, bought them all, and you can't stop watching him.
Cannot stop watching that show. And I think there's a
(02:05):
fine line between love and hate with a TV show.
I never got it. I never understood any of those
characters or you know, the show came from England. I
tried to watch that version of it. I needed subtitles
because of the thick accent. I didn't get that show
at all. And I never even bothered watching it, and
then after the second episode, Man, I stayed up sometimes
(02:25):
till three in the morning, just laughing my ass off. Well,
my wife and daughter are you know, upstairs trying to sleep.
They're like, hey, Dad, keep it down. I know I'm
watching The Office. It's really funny. You got to see
this episode. Yeah, we've seen them all, seen them all.
That show's eighteen years old, dad, But I know that
Steph Fush is a big fan as well.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Were you a big fan from the get go? You
like watch it every week?
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (02:49):
I got into it around season two, and this is
when this is before streaming, So I was like, I'm
a very I have to watch everything in order. So
I watched one episode and it was the carpet episode, okay,
and I was like, this is amazing, but I need
to get all the jokes. So I got the DVDs
on Netflix and watched it all the way up to
(03:09):
where it was and then I was hooked after that.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, yeah, I wish.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I was hooked when it came out, you know, because
there's something nice. Like my wife was a big nine
H two one ol fam and friends. She loved friends,
and so she would get together with friends, not with
the show, but I mean, you know, with her personal
friends and watch the new episode they came out. They
would get together to watch friends, and I thought, well,
(03:33):
that'd be cool, you know, guys come over and watch
The Office.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I don't know how many guys I can get out
to do that.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
But that's the other thing that was funny is that
I felt like such a weirdo in school because no one,
none of my friends knew about the show. And kind
of like you, they're like, I don't what is this about?
Because it looks like a serious thing, because this is
like one of the bigger mockumentaries that you know, kind
of blew up beside spinal tap. And then you know,
I just was in love with it, but no one
got it. So now it's got a resurgence because when
(03:59):
it went on net Flicks and now it's on Peacock obviously.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
And it's my favorite show by far. I can't stop
watching when it's on. I just got to keep watching
it over and over and over. I can't speak highly enough.
If you've not gotten into the Office, you know, somebody said, ay,
you should watch The Office.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
You should watch it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It is unbelievable and one of the characters is that
John Krininsky K Krasinski, Guy one hasn't been on TV
in years. That's not true. He has some kind of
specially he does, or some kind of you know, new
series he does. But he's been voted the sexiest man Alive,
the sexiest man alive. And he's not a young guy.
(04:41):
He's probably in his late forties, early fifties. Yeah, he's
He was in the Jack Ryan series. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes,
and now he's the sexiest man alive alive.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
People has spoken. The magazine named John Krasinski the twenty
twenty four Sexiest Man Alive.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Writer and director says he was surprised when he found out.
Speaker 9 (05:03):
Zero thoughts other than maybe I'm being punped, and then
after that it was just yeah, it was a full surreality.
That's not how I wake up usually thinking, is this
the day that I'll be asked to be sexiest man Alive?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
The forty five year old joke that he is hoping
his wife, actress Emily Blant.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
All right, so he's forty five years old. That's a
little long in the tooth to win Sexiest Man Alive.
You know, those are reserved for guys in their twenties,
late twenties, early thirties. Forty five is you know, bottom
of the ninth inning?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I think for that award Sexiest Man Alive the forty
five year old joke that he is hoping his wife,
actress Emily Blunt makes good on a problem.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Isn't she in that series too, Emily Blunt? No, they
did a Quiet Place to Move. Oh yeah, that's right,
that's what they did right now.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Dose Emily Blunt makes good on a promise to plaster
the magazine cover as wallpaper at their home. You can
see more at people dot com. The issue is available
on newsstands now.
Speaker 8 (05:58):
Krisinski start in the office before launching the Quiet Place
franchise and leading the action series Jack Ryan. He succeeds
Patrick Dempsey, who was last year Sexiest Man Alive. Other
recent honoories include Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, and Michael B.
Speaker 10 (06:11):
Jordan.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
I think, you know he brings kind of a guy
next door. Many people would say, you know, Chris Evans
is Chris Evans.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Michael B. Jordan is Michael B. Jordan.
Speaker 8 (06:19):
John Krisiski, You're like, he reminds me of my friend's cousin.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, that's true. I mean he does.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
He does remind you of a guy that lives next
door and you know, is not a big deal, but
he had an unbelievable story that he told I think
it was on I think he told him to a
Stephen Colbert and this is an unbelievable story.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
And I'll just read the audio.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Oh we do, okay, all right, but I'll try to
paraphrase it for you to try to remember as much
as again. Actually, you know, let me do. Let me
get the audio, because the audio is is much better.
But it's a story of not giving up in life.
And it's a great story about not giving up. You know,
a lot of people come out to Los Angeles and
(07:04):
they want to act or direct, they want to be
a movie star, an athlete or whatever. And you give
yourself a window, and you know, and it it went in.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Three years, four years, five years, whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And then once that window closes, a lot of people
go back to Columbus, Saint Louis, Miami, wherever they are,
and they take a job. You know, they're four or
five six years behind their buddies that they graduated high
school with, and and a lot of people do that.
A lot of people leave la never achieving their dreams. Well,
this guy, who's just one of the sexiest man life
(07:38):
has a different story, and we come back. I'm going
to play it for you. But it's an incredible story
of how he didn't give up and how and how
awesome his mom was because at one point he's he said,
I'm going to give it five years and the mom said,
you've got to bail out on your own. I'm not
going to tell you when your dreams are over. That's
(07:58):
a great line. That's a great line. All right, going back,
we'll play the audio. It's really a great story. You
wanted to stick around and listen to it.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
It is really is. It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
All right, the guy that played Jim on The Office?
Is that right, Krozier?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I mean Jim right? Play Yim?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Absolutely not good with it, John Krazinski. He tells a
great story about almost giving up on his dreams and
then he got the Office. He's done some other projects
and he just won Sexiest Man Alive Alive Worldwide Alive,
(08:43):
Sexiest Man alive. And so if you are in town,
you're driving around, you've been around for a year or two,
You've run into the roadblock, some speed bumps in your career.
You want to be an actor and actress, singer, songwriter, director, whatever.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Maybe it'll give you some motivation to stick it out
for another couple of months, a couple of years, whatever.
But listen to this story and how how close, how
close this was for John to have made the decision
to stick it out a little longer, and who was
responsible for it. This is a great story is on
(09:20):
Stephen Colbert, John Crazinci.
Speaker 11 (09:22):
You were going to be a teacher.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I understand that's right.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
I was in college. I was going to be a
teacher all the way up till the end. And then,
out of sheer laziness, I went to Brown University.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
That took mid year.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Yeah, at the end.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
So I came in mid year. I had to go
to school in January. They accepted me midyear.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
And so why did they accept you MIDI They had a.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Program for the thirty two kids that didn't get in.
They had they let you inlisted and then they said
hang tough with like one of those kitten posters and
then we got in a couple listed. Yeah, so out
of sheer laziness. After my friends graduated in May, I thought, well,
I'm going to be an English teacher, so let's just
find a place that transfers credits back. And there was
(10:02):
a theater school, and I went to that theater school
and it completely changed my life. The National Theater Institute
at the Eugene O'Neil Center changed my life.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Oh wow, yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Know your dad.
Speaker 11 (10:10):
Dad's a doctor. Yep, mom's a nurse, very respectable jobs. Yes,
Were they at all worried about you doing something quite
so vagabond as being an actor.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I'm sure they were. I'm sure they were the express
their worry.
Speaker 11 (10:24):
Do they say, please, don't throw your life.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
No, I'm from one of those amazing families where I
was leaving that theater school that I told you, truly.
My mom came to pick me up from that theater
school after sixteen weeks or something, and as soon as
the car left the driveway of the school, I said,
I'm moving to New York and I'm going to be
an actor. And my mom paused for probably half a second,
and she said, great, go do it. The only thing
I asked you is in two and a half or
three years, if you don't have any sense that this.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Is going to happen.
Speaker 9 (10:48):
We used to fish as kids, so she was like,
if you don't get a nibble or a bite in
two and a half or three years, you have to
make me one promise. And I said what And she said,
you got to pull yourself out because as your mother,
you can't ask me to tell you to give up
on your dreams. I said, that's so profound, and yes, fair.
Cut to two and a half years later. I was like,
so I'm out.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
This is terrible. It's so scary.
Speaker 9 (11:08):
This is the worst waiting tables, not as fun as
they say. And she said, you know, it's September. Just
wait it out, just wait till the end of the year.
Don't give up just yet. I was ready to. I
was telling her to come get me and in New York. Yeah,
and three weeks later I got the office.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah that worked out. So it worked out.
Speaker 9 (11:29):
You know, I give her a lot of love and
ten percent, so you know she deserves it.
Speaker 11 (11:32):
So that's something that all parents should know, is that
success is only three weeks away.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Just three more weeks. That was just three weeks, just
waited out. Yeah, your dreams will come.
Speaker 11 (11:42):
To like career forming, like historically funny television.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
She's success. See you get it. Yeah that's great.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Now I lead back it up here a second where
he his mom said, the greatest thing ever. If your
mom out there, listen and re remember this part of
this story.
Speaker 9 (12:01):
The only thing I asked you is in two and
a half for three years.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
This is this is his mom talking. Okay, this is
his mom talking.
Speaker 9 (12:08):
The only thing I asked you is in two and
a half for three years. If you don't have any
sense that this is gonna happen, we usuficious kids. So
she was like, if you don't get a nibble or
a bite in two and a half or three years,
you have to make me one promise. And I said
what And she said, you got to pull yourself out
because as your mother, you can't ask me to tell
you to give up on your dreams.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That is beautiful that if you're a new mother learned
from that. I'm gonna play it again.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
All right.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Maybe you're a little distracted, maybe you got the kids
in the car, maybe the kids are with you. Please
remember this. Please remember this if you're a mom or
a dad, all right, remember this this comment here. The
only thing again, this is him talking as his mom.
Speaker 9 (12:46):
The only thing I asked you is in two and
a half for three years, if you don't have any
sense that this is gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
We used toficius kids.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
So she was like, if you don't get a nibble
or a bite in two and a half or three years,
you have to make me one promise. And I said what?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
And she said, you got to pull yourself out.
Speaker 9 (12:59):
Because as your mother, wough, you can't ask me to
tell you to give up on your dreams.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
How great is that. It's the exact opposite of most
moms and dads, you know. Most moms or dads are like, oh,
you should have given up a long time ago. You're horrible,
you know. I remember I had not a similar story.
But when I was ten or eleven, maybe twelve years old,
I was pitching in a West Valley little league and
(13:28):
I was the pitcher on the team. We had two
or three pitchers and there was a game. It was
a Thursday afternoon or Friday afternoon after school, and I
showed up around three point thirty. We had a four
o'clock game, and it was my day to pitch. And
back then in little league you only pitch six innings.
Six innings was a complete game. So I started pitching.
(13:49):
I get the first three guys out. The second thing,
I get the next three guys out. Third inning, no runs,
no hits, no air, it's nothing. The fourth inning, the
coach says to me, hey, you got a no hitter going,
and I said, ah, I didn't even know that. I
didn't realize that. Fourth inning, no hits. Fifth inning, struck
(14:11):
out the side. Sixth inning comes up and the first
guy grounds out. I believe, second guy popped out, third
guy struck out. I remember that, and the entire team
runs to the mound and mobs me because I just
pitched a no hitter. When I was twelve years old,
(14:32):
I pitched a no hitter and I couldn't believe it.
And the fan, I mean the audience, the parents, the
parents in the stands were all going crazy. Even the
parents from the other team were like standing up and applauding.
And I remember going off the field and the coach
(14:54):
gave me the game ball, and it was one of
the best days of my childhood by far.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And I get home and my dad had gotten home late,
around nine thirty or so, and.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I still have my Boston Red Sox uniform on right
with the dirt on the knees and all that crap.
And my dad gets home. I go, hey, Dad, I
pitched a no hitter today, a perfect game. He goes, ah,
Tea used to call me Tea.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Oh man, t that's great.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
God.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I wish I was there. I wish I could have
seen that. That's unbelievable. Tell me about it, I said.
I told him about the the game, and I said, Dad,
I think I got something here. And he sat me
down and he goes, Tim, you're not that great and
I'm like, wait, but I just pitched no hit her.
(15:44):
He's like, yeah, I know, but I've seen the kids
you're pitching. Again, said they're not going anywhere either, So
I'm going to save you a lot of time in
life and let you know that's not the path you
should take. And you know what, as the press thing
as it was when he said that to me, I
thanked him later because can you imagine, you know, I
(16:06):
didn't have the I didn't have the level of first
of all, I didn't have the desire to do it.
And you really have to have the desire to be
in the major leagues or to play, you know, competitive
college baseball on a high level school. You have to have.
It has to be in your blood. You have to
(16:27):
get up in the morning think about it. You have
to work out all day, you have to eat properly.
You've got to find the right coach. You've got to
improve your strength. You've got to avoid injury. You've got
to be on with the right team. You got to
be in the right place the right time. There's politics involved,
there's a million things you got to do before you
even played college baseball. And I didn't have it in me.
And I just waited three weeks. Yeah, and my dad
(16:48):
knew it. My dad knew it. He's like, Tim, you're
pitching against kids that will never even make our high
school team, let alone college or pros.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
These kids are not that great.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And I said, all right, and uh, and uh, you know,
I'm and I and I went on to you know,
pitching little league, but not in high school.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I didn't pitch in high school or college. But I
didn't have it.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I didn't have what it takes to become a you know,
an athlete. And my dad knew that, and so he
saved me a hell of a lot of time and
anger and anguish and working out and missing out on
sleepovers and going on you know, my trips to play
baseball and other cities and other states and all that
(17:31):
stuff to be at a point in my life where
I just wasn't gonna make it. So I I do
thank him for that is as much as as depressing
as it was when I heard it. That guy with
that comment saved me a lot of headaches, a lot.
He also saved himself getting up at five am, you know,
traveling to Orange County to watch his kid get rocked
(17:54):
in the first inning, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Nine earned runs.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Tim, Hey, tell us about that no hitter you had
again when you're twelve.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Dad, Please let's get the du pars.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I don't know, Belly, Oh, maybe you're like me, Krozer.
I don't know if you do this or not. Maybe Angel,
did you ever go to second hand store or I
don't know, like a goodwill and you look around for
something you think is really valuable, and you can get
it for like three dollars and sell it for like
eight hundred dollars. I do that all the time. Oh yeah,
I don't really find much. But how about this this
(18:32):
vase that somebody who's using as a door stop made
him a couple of bucks.
Speaker 12 (18:37):
An eighteenth century bust purchase for six dollars and used
as a doorstop could now fetch millions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
How about that a vase.
Speaker 12 (18:46):
An eighteenth century bust purchase.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
For a bust, sorry, a bust, a bust used as
a door stop could get millions.
Speaker 12 (18:55):
An eighteenth century bust purchase for six dollars and used
as a doorstop could now fetch millions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
The bust and.
Speaker 12 (19:03):
Depicting John Gordon, the founder of a small Scottish town,
was acquired in nineteen thirty, but it disappeared, only to
reappear in nineteen ninety eight as a doorstop at an
industrial complex. Since then, it's been in the Louver and Laghetty,
But now a court has approved a private buyer to
acquire it for three million dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Oh god, three million dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Used as a doorstop for years it was moved around
by somebody's foot when they wanted to shut it. Oh
my god, oh man, I'd love to have had that sucker.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Ah. That would have been great, that would have been unbelievable.
All Right.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
The San Fernando Valley I've argued for many, many decades
on the air. I would say close to thirty years
that the San Fernando Valley has nothing.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
There's no five star restaurant. There's no professional football team,
no basketball, no baseball, no hockey, no country club where
they come out and play.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Them Masters or PGA. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
There's nothing in the San Fernando Valley. There's no racetrack,
there's no auto track. There's no big, huge theater where
people go and see terrific performances by a Philharmonic or
world class Broadway plays. The San Fernando Valley has nothing.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
If you're in the San Fernando Valley and you say
to ways or you know, whatever GPS you have in
your rental car, they say, what's the nearest tourist attraction?
None of it is in the valley. It'll say Universal Studios,
which technically is not in the valley. Technically it's in
Universal City. It's on the edge of the valley. But
everything else Disneyland that is not in the valley. Neither
(20:49):
is Magic Mountain, neither is Knotsbury Farm or Santa Monica
or Hollywood. None of this is in the valley. And
when the valley was going to get their own light rail,
what do they do to the valley? They put in
a bus lane, a bus lane in the San Fernando Valley.
(21:13):
So while everybody else had light rail, cruise around light rail,
we had a bus. They put in the orange line. Well,
guess what, Santa Fernando Valley, you might be in luck
here gearing up for the very first light rail after
decades and decades of being ignored, totally ignored, the.
Speaker 13 (21:34):
Nice boulevard will be transformed by a new light rail project.
Trains will run along the middle of the thoroughfare nine
point two miles from the G Line to the Silmar
San Fernando Metrolink station.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
And it's really going to connect a lot of rail
lines in the San Fernando Valley, starting with the G Line.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
There aren't a lot of rail lines in the valley.
I don't know who's talking here. There's a lot of
bus lines, but they're there are no rail lines in
the San Fernando Valley unless you're talking about the Metro.
But the Metro is not a local transportation. You know,
there's like four stops in the valley.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
Rail lines in the San Fernando.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Valley now no light rail. It's bus lanes starting with.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
The g Lin and Van Eyes continuing through Panorama City, Arlita.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
And that would be the first one, not many, first
Arlita and Pacoima.
Speaker 13 (22:27):
It's a comeback for light rail in the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Wait, it's a comeback for light rail. When did the
light When does San Fernanzo have any rail? You can't
come back from something you never had. They never had anything.
Speaker 13 (22:38):
It's a comeback. It's not rail in the San Fernando
Valley is not which hasn't seen streetcar service since nineteen
fifty two.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
I am eager to use it.
Speaker 13 (22:46):
Rosie Crooks was born and raised in Pacoima.
Speaker 14 (22:49):
I think there is a lot of opportunity. I think
there's going to be a lot of change to the community.
I'm concerned about the congestion. I'm concerned about parking, but
it'll it'll be.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Nice, Yeah, it'll be nice once the San Fernando Valley
gets treated like the city of la personally, Like I'm
a big because right now we just send all our
tax dollars over the hill, all the San Fernando Valley
tax dollars from all the homes in the valley. It
goes over the hill to schools, it goes over the
hill to light rail, it goes over the hill to
build stadiums. Nothing in the valley.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Nothing personally, Like, I'm a big fan of the Metro
in general. So I'm just here for you know, just
general information. I just want to know more about the project.
Speaker 13 (23:27):
Area residents and business owners had a chance to meet
with Metro Tuesday night. Officials provided renderings and took questions.
Preliminary work on utilities for the voter approved five point
six billion dollar projects has already begun. Heavy construction is
slated to begin in spring of next year.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Well that's great, We're getting the rail kids. The valley's
coming back.
Speaker 13 (23:49):
Metro says they are aware that business owners and neighbors
may be concerned about the impact of the area while
the rail line is being built.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
We do have a business interruption fund for small, mob
and pop businesses that are affected by construction. We also
have a Eat Shop and Play program that helps businesses
market themselves.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Is that Eat Shop and Play?
Speaker 6 (24:12):
The hell?
Speaker 12 (24:12):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
A each shop and Play, Eat Shop and Play, Each.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Shop and Play program that helps businesses market themselves.
Speaker 14 (24:21):
There's going to be a lot of challenges during the construction,
but we're all looking forward to it.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Change is good.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, okay, all right, well ding dong, we finally get
something in the valley.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
I don't know if if you know this, but Jay
Leno was on with this yesterday. That was a cool deal.
And then I happen to be watching CBS this morning
and he was on CBS News this morning talking about
the Peterson Car Museum. You ever seen that that Peterson
Car Museum? Man, oh man, that's unbelievable. It's really cool.
They have literally hundreds and they just redid the outside
(24:56):
of it.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
Yeah, The whole thing is like looks like the outside
of like a Ferrari or something.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
They designed it exactly, but the cars in there. Did
Jay tell his I'm sorry, did Jay tell his potato joke?
You know? He did?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
And he and this is so great because Jay Leno
has one of my favorite stories of all time, and
and he's like and he and he says, I go, hey, Jake,
can you tell the story. He goes, yeah, I'll tell
it because every time you tell, you screw it up.
And then he told the joke, and he screwed it up.
He told the joke, and he goes and he says, oh, yeah,
(25:31):
he took iron. You know, I kind of get that check.
And then so this guy gets a potato and he
puts in the front of his bathing some well no,
I mean, okay, he has a potato. And then he
went out and tell the joke. So he screwed it up,
like I screw it up all the time. I screwed
that joke up all the time, and he screwed it
up last night right on this program. But he was
(25:52):
able to say it because he's a professional comic. I
was unable to still a great joke. All Right, we
come back. I'll take a shot at telling that joke again,
because that's my one of my favorite jokes of all time. Croshe,
I'm gonna come in there and whip your ass. How
about that.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
All right, here's the joke that one of my favorite
jokes of Jay Leno is that he told yesterday. I'm
gonna try and tell it today because we get a
different audience. You know, audience comes in and out and
they're constantly moving around. All right, Here it is, two
guys are at the beach. One guy's bring a speedo
and he's gonna walk down the beach and try to
(26:37):
attract women.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
So he walks down the beach. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
No women are looking at this guy, absolutely nothing. Can't
get any action. So he comes back. He says to
his buddy. He goes, hey, man, I'm we're in the speedome.
You know, I'm pretty good shape, but I'm not getting
any action from any of the women. And his friend said, here,
stick this huge potato in your speedo.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
And they'll come running.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
So he puts the potato in his speedome walking down
the beach, and now instead of the women flocking to him,
they're like throwing things at him.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah, well, Robie, look at this guy.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Oh my god. So it goes back. He says, hey,
the potato thing didn't work. He says, buddy, you're supposed
to put the potato in front in the front of
your suit. It's a great joke. It's a great, solid joke.
It's a solid, solid joke, very solid. One of my
(27:36):
favorites from my j Leno, who is at the Peterson
Museum today. He was on with us last night and
at the Peter Museum Peterson Museum today.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
On CBS News. They got a big deal going on
out there.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
It's going in La legend that doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
It's probably got a card.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
And this is not just any car. It belonged to
Hollywood legend Steve Queen. Now worth more than thirty million dollars.
Oh my god, thirty million dollars for a car. The
Queen's fifty six Jag is one of the crown jewels
in a collection of more than four hundred classics at
the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, and chief mechanic
(28:17):
Dana Williamson is one of the only people in the
world trusted to drive it.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Jay Leno said, once he goes, how can you.
Speaker 9 (28:24):
Not look cool in that car?
Speaker 10 (28:27):
Turns out jay Leno is one of the museum's biggest fans.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
These at cars aren't just sitting here. You gotta run them, right, Yeah,
that's why I mean, I drive all of mine.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
Oh, she's trying to get some heat in her now.
Speaker 10 (28:40):
The comedian's lifelong obsession with cars is no secret.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yeah, guy's got a ton of cars. Man, how many
do you have now? I got two hundred and eight
on the road. It's a little stupid two hundred and
eight cars. Who I just.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Never sold anything. I'm what you would have called the
hoarder in the old days. Okay, but when they go
up in value or now you're a collector.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, Jay Leno, you can go see him, by the way,
if you can go see Jay Leno a week from
tonight at the Comedy Magic Club in her Mousea Beach.
He's doing something cool for the kids out there that
got a little too close to the stove or had
a burn accident. Grossman Burnfoundation dot org. And they're raising
a ton of money so they can treat kids who
(29:24):
can't afford that kind of surgery. Grossman Burn Foundation dot org.
It's tax deductible. You can go see Jay. Be a
great evening and you're doing something great for the kids.
So win, win, big dorm Grossmanburn Foundation dot org.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
All right, let's talk about this here where was that
report the drinking?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Oh here it is Okay, drinkers, I know a lot
of people will listen to radio also like to drink.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Well.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
New study shows an increase in heavy d.
Speaker 15 (30:00):
Heavy drinking went up about twenty percent from twenty eighteen
to twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
So we don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
After that, Yeah, the pandemic hit and everybody jumped in
the bottle.
Speaker 15 (30:11):
So what's heavy drinking you?
Speaker 3 (30:13):
That's the question. Okay, bhi, what's heavy drinking? This is?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
This always irritates me because heavy drinking differs from one
person to another. One guy says it's a glass of
wine every six months, and the other guy says it's
a gallon and a half of vodka every two hours.
So I don't know where the line is here.
Speaker 15 (30:30):
So what's heavy drinking you?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
That's the question. Okay, yeah, So what constant.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Has a drink?
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 15 (30:34):
So they define heavy drinking as four or more drinks
a day for women at anyone's setting, or eight or
more in a week. For men, it's five or more
drinks in a certain day in one day, or fifteen
or more in a week.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
I'm just not.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Aingay, I'm a heavy drinker. That's pretty cool. I made it,
not only I finally made it. I'm sure you're proud.
Speaker 15 (30:55):
For men, it's five or more drinks in a certain
day in one day, or fifteen or more in a week.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I mean it's fifteen in a week. You can do
fifteen by tuesday.
Speaker 15 (31:04):
I mean it's not an abrupt cutoff, but that's the
general idea.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
What's a drink?
Speaker 15 (31:08):
Yes, yeah, I see you in your eyes, and dude, like, is.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Beer stronger than Vodkar?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Wait a minute?
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Why is beer stronger than vodkar?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
That's a woman who's never had a drink, never seen
the inside of a bar. Is beer stronger than vodka?
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Is beer stronger than Vodkart?
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Oh my god? What's going on with this lady?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You know what, that's the kind of stupidity that comes
from alcoholics. Yeah, alcoholics are the always the ones you
are like, hey, so is there alcohol in that drink?
I've never had one before? And they go home and
they chulgug a gug glug every night.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
So I had to look all this stuff up. I
didn't really know everything about this.
Speaker 15 (31:47):
So fourteen grams of pure alcohol is a drink, which
is twelve ounces of a beer, five ounces of wine
or one point five ounces of distilled spirits.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Why do you think it's growing up? And also the
other question, why is it increasing among women?
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Oh that's a great question. Well, because women are just
like men.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
You know, they work, they have stress, they got kids,
they got stressed, they got money problems, relationship problems, and
when you drink, a lot of it goes away.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Not in the long run, not in the long run,
in the short run.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Why is it increasing among women?
Speaker 15 (32:27):
Yeah, so that's something that's of concern. And we've known
for a couple of decades now that we're seeing an
increase in liver disease. That's cirrhosis, which is scarring of
the liver, very serious, can lead to all sorts of problems,
including liver failure.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
What a downer, this guy is, my god, and liver cancer? Right, okay,
God Almighty, give us a break.
Speaker 15 (32:44):
I spoke to one of the authors last night.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
I say, I asked that very same question.
Speaker 15 (32:48):
You know, nobody knows exactly there's more marketing to women, right,
You've seen that in recent years it's become more socially
acceptable for women to drink. And then you know what,
nobody really knows is during the pandemic, was there more
stress on women?
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Because yes, I'll just jump in here.
Speaker 15 (33:07):
Yes, was there more stress on women because they had
to do maybe a little bit more in the household.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
That's sort of like a.
Speaker 15 (33:14):
You know, maybe that's it. But when you think about
what happened during the pandemic, which is there was more anxiety,
there was more depression, there was more stress, and people
often turn down.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
There's more drinks too, a lot more.
Speaker 15 (33:24):
To alcohol, thinking well, that's going to relieve it, well
for anxiety temporarily, big underline, temporarily.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
I see Ronner in there, who's coming in? Mo's not
in today, but Chris Meryl is going to take over,
Timmy Roner?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Do you tip the bottle at all? You ever take
a swig?
Speaker 16 (33:42):
I have been known to enjoy an adult cocktail from
time to time, as as fate may have it. I
never have more than two a night, but okay, sometimes
they can. They can be kind of large, all right,
I get that.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
But you know, you're you're living the life I would
love to live, which is that you go home and
you have a couple of pop and you and you
stay up until six am.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Well you make it.
Speaker 16 (34:03):
I'm often up writing until six am, so it's not
all fun in games.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
It doesn't matter. I mean, I don't know if you've.
Speaker 16 (34:09):
Heard about this, but it's a good idea for people
to have backup working right around really yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Okay, I get that, all right, Ronners here, Chris Merrill's
here in for MO for the rest of the week,
and I think it'll be back on Monday. We're live
on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on demand on
the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us live
