Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Thanksgiving is one
week from tomorrow. If you can believe that Thanksgiving one
week from tomorrow right now, a week from today, the
busiest travel day for highways in the United States, and
(00:24):
it's a mess here in southern California Krozer. Every year
we do the same story on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving
where everyone says, oh, I'll leave earlier, I'll leave late,
and then Chris Christie's above the four or five freeway
in both directions are a parking lot. Yeah, expect to
see a lot of red tomorrow and Friday. It's gonna
be the same video that we have the last five years.
(00:47):
They could replay it, right, Yeah, just replay it. Why
even send a guy up?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And especially now as we're talking about the rain coming
in over the weekend, people are more apt to leave
even earlier. They were waiting for the weekend to leave. Yes,
that's right, so it could be even worse the normal.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
A lot of travelers and a lot of bad news.
Now Here are the top ten destinations for people traveling
from the United States. People who live in the United States.
Here are your top ten destinations. And i'd have you
guess I been to Whip Brown, but you'd guess almost
none of them, Well, maybe a couple of them. Costa
(01:22):
Rica number ten. Never would have guessed that Mexico is
number nine. Plymouth, Massachusetts is number eight, Number seven California
Wine Country. Then number six Aspen, Colorado. And the top
five places one, two, three, four, Yeah. Top five places
to travel this Thanksgiving. Number five Atlanta, Georgia. Beautiful this
(01:48):
time of year. Number four is Las Vegas, Nevada. No
surprise there. Number three Honolulu, Hawaii. People are getting away.
People have got a couple of bucks going to Honolulu.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I wish, Oh, would that'd be great. I've never been
to Hawaii's.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Never been to Hawaii. Huh Oh, you got to get
there before you die.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah, other place is higher than that.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
But yeah, but though the vibe, the smell, the feel,
the just the the overall just being in Hawaii is
unlike anything you'll ever experience.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Really, yeah, because all I ever think about when I
think of Hawaii is how much you need in your
wallet to live there or exists there at any period
of time for a week or otherwise.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You do have to have a couple of bucks.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, but that being said completely, if you do have
a couple of bucks, it's a twenty four hour feeling
when you're on Hawaii. The smell of the flowers and
the fruit, the grass, the pineapples, you can smell all
that stuff, and the ocean breeze that comes in, you know,
twenty four hours a day. It's it's, I don't know
(02:53):
how to describe it, like tranquil. It's it's like a
really mellow, awesome feeling.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Does it shut down at night like it does? It does? Yeah,
I'm going now.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Unless you're in Honolulu or you know, back in before
Lahina got wiped out, those are the two places you
can see some kind of a night life.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah, but I need some nighttime hustle and bustle.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Other than that, you're done. All families are in the
hotel room by nine o'clock.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It's like it's like going to Disneyland. My wife and
I went to Disneyland. This is before we had our daughter.
They were nice enough to put us up in the
Grand Californian down there, and so we went down. We
were doing a live remote on a Friday. So they
gave us a hotel room on a Thursday, and we
get down there on Thursday and all the kids, they're
(03:42):
all in their rooms by about seven or eight o'clock
at night. It was quite It was like it was
like this eight o'clock, nine o'clock night, nobody was around.
And then do they go to sleep? I mean, like,
awake all night? Are you hearing like all you don't.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Hear anything, You just hear it. You just hear quiet
all night.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Then four forty five rolls around in the morning, bingo,
the party starts. He says, these kids are on East
Coast time, and they get up and they get rolling.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
You are not selling this. Well, now I know where
I'm going to retire. They get rolling, you like getting
up early. Stuff. This sounds awesome. It just sounds like
a permanent vacation. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Well Hawaii, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hawaii is uh it's just awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
So, uh, Hawaii is number three, New York City is
number two, and the number one destination for all of
the United States. Orlando, Florida number one. So if you're
going to any of these, let's say I don't know
you're going to you know some of them are not
going to have any weather at all. You know, Orlando's
gonna be fine, Costa Rica, Mexico, you'll be fine. But
(04:55):
these other destinations are going to be a problem, and
huge problem. In some of them, you're gonna be You're
gonna see a lot of delayed flights, a lot of
canceled flights, a lot of people staying in a in
an airport overnight.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
That's gonna happen as well. So New York, the northern
part of the United.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
States from Seattle to New York is going to be
a mess for a lot of the Thanksgiving vacation, especially
if you're heading up to I don't know, let's say
you're going to well, all right, here's another one Aspen.
You know you're going to Aspen to enjoy yourself. Aspen
ten day forecast is calling for absolute freezing temperatures and
(05:40):
snow most of those days. I'm looking at eighteen degrees
this Sunday, Monday's twenty four degrees. Tuesday is twenty two,
and then Thanksgiving that Wednesday before Thanksgiving week from tonight
twenty is the low, and then on Thanksgiving. In Aspen,
they're expecting three to five inches of snow and fifteen degrees.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Look, if that's your vibe, it's got to be awesome. Great. Yeah,
when you're there.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Once you get getting in and out a nightmare, absolute
nightmare to get in and out. I mean, hopefully they
have these all the you know, the streets cleaned up.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I don't know if it's the old old in me,
but I just it's not worth it if it getting
in and out is that much.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
It's pain and right, it's just not worth it either
during that time pain to get in and out.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Once you're there, you're great, but getting in out is horrible.
Like next Wednesday in Mammoth they're looking at two to
four feet of snow, two to four feet of snow
on and up to one hundred and eighty hours of
snow in a row, one hundred and eighty hours. And
then let me take a look at another thing here.
(06:51):
This is for Atlanta. Atlanta's fine, you know, sixty sixty five,
seventy seventy five, and you're going to be fine. Where
you're not going to be fine is San Francisco. San
Francisco is going to be raining for the next ten
days straight. It's not gonna stop. It's just gonna be
raining every single day for the next Here's San Francisco,
(07:14):
all right, San Francisco Today, rain, Tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
You're not gonna get a break until a week from Saturday.
It's gonna be raining every single day in San Francisco
from now until a week from Saturday, ten or eleven
straight days of rain. So if you're traveling up the
(07:36):
five Freeway, like you know, hundreds of thousands, if not
millions of people will over the next week, it is
going to be raining and a lot of traffic. You
can count on both a lot of rain, a lot
of traffic, and it's gonna be tough to get in
and out of any of these cities. But once you
get there, you'll be fine. Getting there, huge problem, huge,
(08:02):
and especially if they have freezing rain. We went up
to Portland two years ago for Christmas and they had
freezing rain where they had an inch and a half
of ice on all the streets. Fortunately, we got the
last rene car with the all wheel drive and we
were okay, but there were big rigs we must have
We stopped counting at about one hundred of the big
rigs that were off to this shoulder and just flipped over,
(08:23):
just turned upside down.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
And then it melts as quickly as it as it freezes.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Though you know two days later is all gone, all
of it wonder, but getting there is tough. Once you
get there, you know you're gonna be inside. You can
look out the drapes and watch it snow, and you're
gonna have a great Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Getting there is a different start.
Speaker 4 (08:43):

the chicken this past weekend.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
The chili, the chili, and the baked potato. That's great.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Man, I wonder I'm surprised that Wendy still has a
monopoly on fast food baked potatoes. Nobody's ever gotten into
that that game. Yeah, it's it's it's and it's one
of the reasons that go there.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
You know how Junior did it? Didn't they?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Then?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I don't know, But man, you fly into Wendy's and
you get chili and you throw it into the baked potato.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
That's at is some meal, that's.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, it's and it's relatively healthy for you.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's very speaking. Yeah, I just read online the healthiest
meal you can ask. Oh yeah, if you just chili. Yeah, yeah,
for the most part.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, And the baked potata.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
A new but they have a new frosty flavor. Also
nice caramel are salted caramel.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Last time when we had when we did our Halloween thing,
Ed brought into Wendy's and he brought in like a
tester of it. They were kind of working still working
out the flavors, and uh, it was pretty good. And
then I got one just last weekend, and uh they
they tweaked it just enough to make it pretty freaking
phom Is that right?

a big deal, all right, Thanksgiving travel. I know it's
(17:49):
sort of like a hack ish radio thing to keep
talking about it over and over and over, but there
are a lot of people listening right now who are
gonna be traveling on Thanksgiving, and you want. The more
information you have, the better your vacation, about weather, about
deals going on, about what to say at the at
the dinner table, Thanksgiving, what not to say, politics, the
(18:11):
whole run. The more you know, the better your Thanksgiving
is going to be. So we continue banging on it.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
Here, it's already one of the busiest times of the
year to travel, but this Thanksgiving is shaping up to
be a record breaker. Triple A says or whopping, Seventy
one point one million Americans will hit the highways. That's
one point three million more than.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Last year, and last year was crowded.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
The good news relief at the pump.
Speaker 8 (18:36):
The national average now three to six a gallum according
to gas Buddy.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Isn't that great?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Threeh six is the average the average the rest of
the country. What are we paying nine dollars out here?
Speaker 6 (18:47):
A year ago?
Speaker 8 (18:48):
It was three thirty Twelve states right now have averages
below two seventy five a go.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
What's driving gas prices lower?
Speaker 9 (18:56):
Well, a lot of it is merely seasonal gasoline demand
decline into the cooler weather, but a global slowdown in
the economy is also behind global demand. That's pushing oil
and gas prices down abroad as well.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
Another trend this Thanksgiving Americans are headed to warm weather.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
There you go, hear that?
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Another trend?
Speaker 8 (19:16):
This Thanksgiving Americans are headed to warm weather.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Americans like warm weather, So all you global warmers out there,
step aside. We're going to Arizona. We're going to Vegas.
We're going to Florida, Texas. We want to be warmer.
We hate as you get older, you hate being cold.
(19:40):
You're maybe your grandmother or grandfather was in a in
a you know, in a retirement home. You go in there,
it's always one hundred and eight degrees in everybody's room.
All they do is turn the heat on.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
That's how they do.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
All you hear is people going it's cold, that's right.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
My grandmother, god lover, my mom's mom, just a terrific lady.
And she liked the temperature in her room to be
about ninety six ninety seven, which for younger people is
wildly uncomfortable. But she was in a retirement home and
it was about ninety five in there, and and she
(20:20):
all she took for the like last three years of
her life were vitamins. She was a big vitamin free
and she would take literally one hundred vitamins a day.
So the entire room ninety five degrees and smelled like
a big vitamin fart. So a lot of fun to
sit across from MENI for an hour, Hey mam, how
(20:41):
you doing? You know it's ninety five in here, and
all I smell is vitamins going on with a musty
dust kind of like yeah, like all like really cheap
vitamin C and.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
All I remembers opening those big old bottles back in
the Yeah, yeah, she buy and buy the five thousand.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Americans are headed to warm weather.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yes, we like warm weather, with.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
The top three domestic destinations all in the Sunshine State. Meanwhile,
the nation's airports are preparing for busy runways.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
In total, the TSA expecting to.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Screen eighteen point three million passengers and crew from next
Tuesday through Monday, December second.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Sultain's going to get buy them, Suton's going to get
buy them. Eighteen million people. How do you screen that
many people in a week? And watch this wild card
winter weather.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
With much of the continental US facing rain and snowfronts
ahead of Thanksgiving week, much of the country has a
chance for above normal rainfall patterns, so this means numerous
storms moving across the country. The TSA says the three
busiest travel days will be the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Okay, and the set's typical Tuesday, Wednesday before Thanksgiving is.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Jammed, and the Sunday after the holiday.
Speaker 10 (21:53):
We have seen record breaking travel really since the lows
of the pandemic, and we can expect it to continue
this year. About five percent more capacity is scheduled over Thanksgiving.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
All of it setting up for a busy December in
the Skies as well. So if you haven't bought your
ticket yet for Christmas, book.
Speaker 10 (22:12):
It now, definitely be looking at prices and expect a
book in the next two weeks or so.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Two weeks. I think you should have had a book
by now. Yeah, we don't. I mean I should have,
but I didn't. I looked at prices last time. I'm like, wow,
yam ridiculous. Oh yeah, horrible, like three or four hundred
bucks north right, Yeah, but it's like four hundred bucks
one way to Portland.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yeah, because we can't leave.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
My daughter's working, I'm on working and we got it one.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
We can only leave on a certain day, and it's right,
it's one of those high cost days.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Yeah, that's right. We'll leave on a Tuesday, paying that card.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
All right, we'll come back Thanksgiving dinner, stress, politics, weather,
mostly mostly politics. What to say and not to say
at that dinner before you get thrown out of the party.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
All right, Thanksgiving is coming up.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Here's a couple of tips for you make it a
little easier on you and your family what to say
and what not to say at that dinner table.
Speaker 11 (23:23):
For sixty four percent of Americans say election related stress is.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Impacting their holiday plan.
Speaker 11 (23:29):
The Spruce survey includes two thousand people from all fifty states.
Also shows twenty three percent of respondents or thinking about
skipping Thanksgiving altogether. One psychiatrist says he thinks there are
ways to enjoy the holidays without politics getting.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
In the way.
Speaker 11 (23:44):
He suggests a no politics rule set ahead of time
for Thanksgiving guests.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Good idea.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
If we're not able to then talk about those beliefs
without some irritability, anger, or hostility coming into the.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Equation or fist fighting. And that's where a boundary needs
to be drawn.
Speaker 11 (24:01):
And the doctor says that a family member chooses not
to come to a family gathering over political views, don't
villainize them, especially in front of children.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
All right, well, then you know, to each his own.
You got to figure that out on your own. I
got a couple of emails here saying, can you please
tell your Thanksgiving story. I was going to wait till
next week, but we got a couple of minutes here.
My mom and I had a on and off, on
and off again relationship. Sometimes we did not speak for
(24:31):
a year, then I would you know, we'd be talking
on good terms for a couple of years, then fall
off again. And I wanted to go to see what
made her tick. Nineteen ninety five, she lived in Durango, Colorado.
She was living alone, and I wanted to go spend
a month with her and just see if we can,
you know, hash it out. So she invited me to
(24:53):
her place. I drove from La to Durango, Colorado in
late October.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I was gonna stay a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Then it went too three four weeks and we're having
a great time and you know, just talking about everything.
She liked going to the bars and playing pool, and
so did I and we'd, you know, venture out and
she my mom is the kind of woman where she
moved into a new city, she had twenty five best
friends in a week and everybody knew her. She was
(25:20):
just the most social person in the world. Everybody enjoyed.
The Big Mac is what we call it Mary and Conway,
the red Bird, red Hair, and that was her nickname
when she was a kid, the red Bird. So she said, hey,
we're going to Thanksgiving. I have some friends in Louis Colorado.
(25:41):
I said, I don't know where Louis, Colorado is. Turns
out it's about sixty miles from Durango. And I said, okay,
I said, Tom, I'll go with you. We'll go to
Thanksgiving at Lewis in Louis, Colorado. I remember that name
for some reason. And so right as we're leaving, she
sits me down and she goes, hey, she goes, I
want to talk to me before you go, before we
go to Thanksgiving. So I don't know what you got going,
(26:03):
but I'm sure it's going to be a lecture. And
she said, I want you to dress up. I want
you to throw on you know, don't put on jeans
with holes in umber stains on them, with a T shirt,
you know, throw on some nice pants, sport coat, no tie,
but nice shirt, shoes, dress shoes, the whole run. He said, oh,
that's easy. I got that stuff with me. And so
(26:26):
we're driving. It's more than an hour because it was snowing.
It's sixty miles in winding road in Colorado. There's no highways.
It was just a lot of slow driving. So it
took about ninety minutes to get there. It was about
sixty miles something like that. And on the way there,
she said, can I ask you a favorite? Can you
please not smoke when you're there? I was smoking back then,
(26:46):
and I said all, I said, I won't do that.
I won't smoke, you know, I'll just take eight hours off.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
That's easy.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
And she said, also, don't be loud. You know, you
always seem to be loud. You're always the loudest guy table.
I said, okay, no problem. And she said, when we
get there, help serve. You know, if they're asking you
to help cut the turkey, carve the turkey, or serve people,
you know, get up and do that.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I said, I do that anyway.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
And then she said, after dinner, you know, clean up,
help them clean up, you know, rearrange the chairs, take
some dishes to the sink, and help load the dishwasher.
I said, ah, okay, I didn't know I was working
this Thanksgiving, but that's cool. And then she said, and
I used to wear a hat, a king's hat, and
she said, take the king's hat off. Don't wear the
king's hat around, you know, Thanksgiving. I said okay.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
And she said, also, please.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Don't clap, you know, if you're watching an NFL game,
don't yell at the TV and clap and you know,
just just sit there like a normal human being.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I said, okay, all right. And I remember my.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Mom brought a dish she brought she made some kind
of funky dish that she was bringing with her. But
I remember I had these little tiny marshmallows that you
put in your hot chocolate. And it was a bag
of those marshmallows. And I looked at him. I go, oh,
those are my favorite marshmallows. She goes, okay, well we
get there. Don't throw those things in the air and
(28:07):
catch them in your mouth at these people's home. Please
don't do that. I said, oh, okay, I won't do that.
And she said, also, don't make fun of their house.
You know, they have a their houses on wheels. They
live in a trailer trailer park. Please don't make fun
of their home. I said, okay, I won't do that.
No off color jokes, no, you know, you know, nothing,
just behave at this Thanksgiving. So I get to Thanksgiving,
(28:32):
I knock it out, I help, I tell stories. I'm
only I'm not loud, I don't smoke, I don't drink.
I am the perfect guest. I help serve the pie. Afterwards,
I help a woman in a wheelchair. I'm up to
the table and get her situated. Help, you know, serve
her mashed potatoes. I help clean up. I help load
(28:54):
the dishwasher. And as we're leaving, the woman who owns
the home said to my mom, Marianne, you've got a
perfect son here. You two are welcome back at our
home every Thanksgiving and from now on, whenever we have
a party, we'd love to have you. And I was
ten feet tall when I was leaving that house. Man,
(29:17):
I was the King of Colorado. And then we're driving
away from the house and my mom's quiet, And when
the redbird's quiet, she's pissed. She's angry, and I don't
know who angered her at Thanksgiving. So I said, hey, Ma,
what's going on with you? And she goes, oh, nothing.
I said, it's got to be something. What's going on
(29:38):
with you? And she said, well, can I tell you someoney? Said, yeah, man,
tell me anything you like. She said, Well, today at
Thanksgiving you just didn't seem yourself. I stopped the car
and I wanted to throw her out. I did every
(30:00):
thing she.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Asked, and it wasn't enough. Never enough with this woman.
Quiet ride home, Quiet ride home? All right, Mo, Kelly
is coming up next?
Speaker 9 (30:12):
Mo?
Speaker 3 (30:12):
What's on the big show? Night bub? But you're not bitter,
are you? You let it go?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Look when when you're told what to do all day
and then that's still not good enough.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
There's no winning. No, there's sometimes you cannot win.
Speaker 12 (30:24):
And that's true if you are the child, it's true
if you're the husband.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, but you can never win at home, you know,
like you like somebody said to me, you know you
can never be respected at the first radio station you
worked for it. You can to the second, third, and
fourth because you can never be respect it at home.
Like no matter how much you know money you make,
when you go to your mom's for Thanksgiving, you're just
still her, you know her little Uh no, good son.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
You're never grown to your parents. Never.
Speaker 12 (30:52):
Hey, but I did want to ask you to be
serious because you were telling the story about your dogs
on the air. My heart was going out to you
because I can only imagine I've been in some similar situations,
but I know emotionally it can be heart reaching.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
We have to go tonight. I'm going to the vet right.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
After the show to discuss whether, you know, we do
any kind of treatment or not, because she needs open
heart surgery and they want to also do brain surgery.
And I'm like, she's thirteen years old.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
She can't handle that.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I mean, she's such a beautiful little doggie. So I
gotta go, and we got to make a decision. And
it's it's the worst. Well, you know, it's like when
you have a dog man, they really they grab you
and they hold on to you, and it's and it's so.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Tough. You know.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
With with human beings you can look back on sometimes
that they've screwed you over their flawed relationships whatever, But
a dog is perfect.
Speaker 12 (31:45):
And a dog you can't have that conversation to make
them understand what's going on and happening around that's right.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
All you can do is be there to comfort them.
It is it is really I'm sorry, sir, Thank you, buddy.
I really do appreciate what's on the big show tonight.
Speaker 12 (31:57):
Bob, Well, we got to talk about how Dunkin Donuts
they've brought back.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
They're free Wednesdays throughout the rest of the year.
Speaker 12 (32:02):
It's not too late if you want to get your
free donut and free coffee and all the free other
stuff that they're offering up on Wednesdays for the rest
of the year. Santa Ana Mayor has proposed an ordinance
to combat homelessness.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
We'll see how that's going to go.
Speaker 12 (32:13):
And if you ever wondered about what they're doing with
your health data, if you have like a fitbit like
I do, pixel watch, you know, how much are you
really giving away with those wearable devices.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
We'll talk about that as well. Yeah, I always wonder.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
And I also heard that you're not supposed to buy
a lot of vodka with a credit card because they
could track that too.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
They track everything.
Speaker 12 (32:33):
I'm at the point where, look, they've already seen me neck,
they know everything about me. Stop trying to hide stuff
the government knows.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
That's right, all right, I'll be listening, Thanks Moe Kelly
Next and his whole crew on kf I 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 KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Thanksgiving is one
week from tomorrow. If you can believe that Thanksgiving one
week from tomorrow right now, a week from today, the
busiest travel day for highways in the United States, and
(00:24):
it's a mess here in southern California Krozer. Every year
we do the same story on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving
where everyone says, oh, I'll leave earlier, I'll leave late,
and then Chris Christie's above the four or five freeway
in both directions are a parking lot. Yeah, expect to
see a lot of red tomorrow and Friday. It's gonna
be the same video that we have the last five years.
(00:47):
They could replay it, right, Yeah, just replay it. Why
even send a guy up?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And especially now as we're talking about the rain coming
in over the weekend, people are more apt to leave
even earlier. They were waiting for the weekend to leave. Yes,
that's right, so it could be even worse the normal.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
A lot of travelers and a lot of bad news.
Now Here are the top ten destinations for people traveling
from the United States. People who live in the United States.
Here are your top ten destinations. And i'd have you
guess I been to Whip Brown, but you'd guess almost
none of them, Well, maybe a couple of them. Costa
(01:22):
Rica number ten. Never would have guessed that Mexico is
number nine. Plymouth, Massachusetts is number eight, Number seven California
Wine Country. Then number six Aspen, Colorado. And the top
five places one, two, three, four, Yeah. Top five places
to travel this Thanksgiving. Number five Atlanta, Georgia. Beautiful this
(01:48):
time of year. Number four is Las Vegas, Nevada. No
surprise there. Number three Honolulu, Hawaii. People are getting away.
People have got a couple of bucks going to Honolulu.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I wish, Oh, would that'd be great. I've never been
to Hawaii's.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Never been to Hawaii. Huh Oh, you got to get
there before you die.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah, other place is higher than that.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
But yeah, but though the vibe, the smell, the feel,
the just the the overall just being in Hawaii is
unlike anything you'll ever experience.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Really, yeah, because all I ever think about when I
think of Hawaii is how much you need in your
wallet to live there or exists there at any period
of time for a week or otherwise.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You do have to have a couple of bucks.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, but that being said completely, if you do have
a couple of bucks, it's a twenty four hour feeling
when you're on Hawaii. The smell of the flowers and
the fruit, the grass, the pineapples, you can smell all
that stuff, and the ocean breeze that comes in, you know,
twenty four hours a day. It's it's, I don't know
(02:53):
how to describe it, like tranquil. It's it's like a
really mellow, awesome feeling.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Does it shut down at night like it does? It does? Yeah,
I'm going now.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Unless you're in Honolulu or you know, back in before
Lahina got wiped out, those are the two places you
can see some kind of a night life.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah, but I need some nighttime hustle and bustle.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Other than that, you're done. All families are in the
hotel room by nine o'clock.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It's like it's like going to Disneyland. My wife and
I went to Disneyland. This is before we had our daughter.
They were nice enough to put us up in the
Grand Californian down there, and so we went down. We
were doing a live remote on a Friday. So they
gave us a hotel room on a Thursday, and we
get down there on Thursday and all the kids, they're
(03:42):
all in their rooms by about seven or eight o'clock
at night. It was quite It was like it was
like this eight o'clock, nine o'clock night, nobody was around.
And then do they go to sleep? I mean, like,
awake all night? Are you hearing like all you don't.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Hear anything, You just hear it. You just hear quiet
all night.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Then four forty five rolls around in the morning, bingo,
the party starts. He says, these kids are on East
Coast time, and they get up and they get rolling.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
You are not selling this. Well, now I know where
I'm going to retire. They get rolling, you like getting
up early. Stuff. This sounds awesome. It just sounds like
a permanent vacation. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Well Hawaii, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hawaii is uh it's just awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
So, uh, Hawaii is number three, New York City is
number two, and the number one destination for all of
the United States. Orlando, Florida number one. So if you're
going to any of these, let's say I don't know
you're going to you know some of them are not
going to have any weather at all. You know, Orlando's
gonna be fine, Costa Rica, Mexico, you'll be fine. But
(04:55):
these other destinations are going to be a problem, and
huge problem. In some of them, you're gonna be You're
gonna see a lot of delayed flights, a lot of
canceled flights, a lot of people staying in a in
an airport overnight.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
That's gonna happen as well. So New York, the northern
part of the United.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
States from Seattle to New York is going to be
a mess for a lot of the Thanksgiving vacation, especially
if you're heading up to I don't know, let's say
you're going to well, all right, here's another one Aspen.
You know you're going to Aspen to enjoy yourself. Aspen
ten day forecast is calling for absolute freezing temperatures and
(05:40):
snow most of those days. I'm looking at eighteen degrees
this Sunday, Monday's twenty four degrees. Tuesday is twenty two,
and then Thanksgiving that Wednesday before Thanksgiving week from tonight
twenty is the low, and then on Thanksgiving. In Aspen,
they're expecting three to five inches of snow and fifteen degrees.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Look, if that's your vibe, it's got to be awesome. Great. Yeah,
when you're there.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Once you get getting in and out a nightmare, absolute
nightmare to get in and out. I mean, hopefully they
have these all the you know, the streets cleaned up.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I don't know if it's the old old in me,
but I just it's not worth it if it getting
in and out is that much.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
It's pain and right, it's just not worth it either
during that time pain to get in and out.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Once you're there, you're great, but getting in out is horrible.
Like next Wednesday in Mammoth they're looking at two to
four feet of snow, two to four feet of snow
on and up to one hundred and eighty hours of
snow in a row, one hundred and eighty hours. And
then let me take a look at another thing here.
(06:51):
This is for Atlanta. Atlanta's fine, you know, sixty sixty five,
seventy seventy five, and you're going to be fine. Where
you're not going to be fine is San Francisco. San
Francisco is going to be raining for the next ten
days straight. It's not gonna stop. It's just gonna be
raining every single day for the next Here's San Francisco,
(07:14):
all right, San Francisco Today, rain, Tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
You're not gonna get a break until a week from Saturday.
It's gonna be raining every single day in San Francisco
from now until a week from Saturday, ten or eleven
straight days of rain. So if you're traveling up the
(07:36):
five Freeway, like you know, hundreds of thousands, if not
millions of people will over the next week, it is
going to be raining and a lot of traffic. You
can count on both a lot of rain, a lot
of traffic, and it's gonna be tough to get in
and out of any of these cities. But once you
get there, you'll be fine. Getting there, huge problem, huge,
(08:02):
and especially if they have freezing rain. We went up
to Portland two years ago for Christmas and they had
freezing rain where they had an inch and a half
of ice on all the streets. Fortunately, we got the
last rene car with the all wheel drive and we
were okay, but there were big rigs we must have
We stopped counting at about one hundred of the big
rigs that were off to this shoulder and just flipped over,
(08:23):
just turned upside down.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
And then it melts as quickly as it as it freezes.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Though you know two days later is all gone, all
of it wonder, but getting there is tough. Once you
get there, you know you're gonna be inside. You can
look out the drapes and watch it snow, and you're
gonna have a great Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Getting there is a different start.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
kf I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
All right, ding dong.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
We're gonna be in Orange County this Friday, day after tomorrow,
day after tomorrow on this one at Wendy's or Wendy's
Remote is this Friday in Mission via Ho.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
You're gonna love it.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Two three zero two two Alisha Parkway two three zero

Lake Forest area. You'll find it. Mission via Ho is
great town, and we expect a lot of people to

be there for three hours four to seven pm. Get
there early if you like, I want to get a
good seat. Maybe one awesome, Yeah, maybe want to stay
the whole night. The hell baked potatoes, the chili, the burgers,
the chicken this past weekend.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
The chili, the chili, and the baked potato. That's great.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Man, I wonder I'm surprised that Wendy still has a
monopoly on fast food baked potatoes. Nobody's ever gotten into
that that game. Yeah, it's it's it's and it's one
of the reasons that go there.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
You know how Junior did it? Didn't they?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Then?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I don't know, But man, you fly into Wendy's and
you get chili and you throw it into the baked potato.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
That's at is some meal, that's.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, it's and it's relatively healthy for you.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
It's very speaking. Yeah, I just read online the healthiest
meal you can ask. Oh yeah, if you just chili. Yeah, yeah,
for the most part.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, And the baked potata.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
A new but they have a new frosty flavor. Also
nice caramel are salted caramel.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Last time when we had when we did our Halloween thing,
Ed brought into Wendy's and he brought in like a
tester of it. They were kind of working still working
out the flavors, and uh, it was pretty good. And
then I got one just last weekend, and uh they
they tweaked it just enough to make it pretty freaking
phom Is that right?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
It's the salted caramel frosts. Yeah, all right, I gotta
go one, I gotta go. Uh, Disneyland, don't forget. The

a big deal, all right, Thanksgiving travel. I know it's
(17:49):
sort of like a hack ish radio thing to keep
talking about it over and over and over, but there
are a lot of people listening right now who are
gonna be traveling on Thanksgiving, and you want. The more
information you have, the better your vacation, about weather, about
deals going on, about what to say at the at
the dinner table, Thanksgiving, what not to say, politics, the
(18:11):
whole run. The more you know, the better your Thanksgiving
is going to be. So we continue banging on it.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
Here, it's already one of the busiest times of the
year to travel, but this Thanksgiving is shaping up to
be a record breaker. Triple A says or whopping, Seventy
one point one million Americans will hit the highways. That's
one point three million more than.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Last year, and last year was crowded.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
The good news relief at the pump.
Speaker 8 (18:36):
The national average now three to six a gallum according
to gas Buddy.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Isn't that great?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Threeh six is the average the average the rest of
the country. What are we paying nine dollars out here?
Speaker 6 (18:47):
A year ago?
Speaker 8 (18:48):
It was three thirty Twelve states right now have averages
below two seventy five a go.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
What's driving gas prices lower?
Speaker 9 (18:56):
Well, a lot of it is merely seasonal gasoline demand
decline into the cooler weather, but a global slowdown in
the economy is also behind global demand. That's pushing oil
and gas prices down abroad as well.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
Another trend this Thanksgiving Americans are headed to warm weather.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
There you go, hear that?
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Another trend?
Speaker 8 (19:16):
This Thanksgiving Americans are headed to warm weather.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Americans like warm weather, So all you global warmers out there,
step aside. We're going to Arizona. We're going to Vegas.
We're going to Florida, Texas. We want to be warmer.
We hate as you get older, you hate being cold.
(19:40):
You're maybe your grandmother or grandfather was in a in
a you know, in a retirement home. You go in there,
it's always one hundred and eight degrees in everybody's room.
All they do is turn the heat on.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
That's how they do.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
All you hear is people going it's cold, that's right.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
My grandmother, god lover, my mom's mom, just a terrific lady.
And she liked the temperature in her room to be
about ninety six ninety seven, which for younger people is
wildly uncomfortable. But she was in a retirement home and
it was about ninety five in there, and and she
(20:20):
all she took for the like last three years of
her life were vitamins. She was a big vitamin free
and she would take literally one hundred vitamins a day.
So the entire room ninety five degrees and smelled like
a big vitamin fart. So a lot of fun to
sit across from MENI for an hour, Hey mam, how
(20:41):
you doing? You know it's ninety five in here, and
all I smell is vitamins going on with a musty
dust kind of like yeah, like all like really cheap
vitamin C and.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
All I remembers opening those big old bottles back in
the Yeah, yeah, she buy and buy the five thousand.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Americans are headed to warm weather.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yes, we like warm weather, with.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
The top three domestic destinations all in the Sunshine State. Meanwhile,
the nation's airports are preparing for busy runways.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
In total, the TSA expecting to.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Screen eighteen point three million passengers and crew from next
Tuesday through Monday, December second.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Sultain's going to get buy them, Suton's going to get
buy them. Eighteen million people. How do you screen that
many people in a week? And watch this wild card
winter weather.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
With much of the continental US facing rain and snowfronts
ahead of Thanksgiving week, much of the country has a
chance for above normal rainfall patterns, so this means numerous
storms moving across the country. The TSA says the three
busiest travel days will be the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Okay, and the set's typical Tuesday, Wednesday before Thanksgiving is.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Jammed, and the Sunday after the holiday.
Speaker 10 (21:53):
We have seen record breaking travel really since the lows
of the pandemic, and we can expect it to continue
this year. About five percent more capacity is scheduled over Thanksgiving.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
All of it setting up for a busy December in
the Skies as well. So if you haven't bought your
ticket yet for Christmas, book.
Speaker 10 (22:12):
It now, definitely be looking at prices and expect a
book in the next two weeks or so.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Two weeks. I think you should have had a book
by now. Yeah, we don't. I mean I should have,
but I didn't. I looked at prices last time. I'm like, wow,
yam ridiculous. Oh yeah, horrible, like three or four hundred
bucks north right, Yeah, but it's like four hundred bucks
one way to Portland.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yeah, because we can't leave.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
My daughter's working, I'm on working and we got it one.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
We can only leave on a certain day, and it's right,
it's one of those high cost days.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Yeah, that's right. We'll leave on a Tuesday, paying that card.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
All right, we'll come back Thanksgiving dinner, stress, politics, weather,
mostly mostly politics. What to say and not to say
at that dinner before you get thrown out of the party.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
All right, Thanksgiving is coming up.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Here's a couple of tips for you make it a
little easier on you and your family what to say
and what not to say at that dinner table.
Speaker 11 (23:23):
For sixty four percent of Americans say election related stress is.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Impacting their holiday plan.
Speaker 11 (23:29):
The Spruce survey includes two thousand people from all fifty states.
Also shows twenty three percent of respondents or thinking about
skipping Thanksgiving altogether. One psychiatrist says he thinks there are
ways to enjoy the holidays without politics getting.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
In the way.
Speaker 11 (23:44):
He suggests a no politics rule set ahead of time
for Thanksgiving guests.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Good idea.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
If we're not able to then talk about those beliefs
without some irritability, anger, or hostility coming into the.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Equation or fist fighting. And that's where a boundary needs
to be drawn.
Speaker 11 (24:01):
And the doctor says that a family member chooses not
to come to a family gathering over political views, don't
villainize them, especially in front of children.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
All right, well, then you know, to each his own.
You got to figure that out on your own. I
got a couple of emails here saying, can you please
tell your Thanksgiving story. I was going to wait till
next week, but we got a couple of minutes here.
My mom and I had a on and off, on
and off again relationship. Sometimes we did not speak for
(24:31):
a year, then I would you know, we'd be talking
on good terms for a couple of years, then fall
off again. And I wanted to go to see what
made her tick. Nineteen ninety five, she lived in Durango, Colorado.
She was living alone, and I wanted to go spend
a month with her and just see if we can,
you know, hash it out. So she invited me to
(24:53):
her place. I drove from La to Durango, Colorado in
late October.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I was gonna stay a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Then it went too three four weeks and we're having
a great time and you know, just talking about everything.
She liked going to the bars and playing pool, and
so did I and we'd, you know, venture out and
she my mom is the kind of woman where she
moved into a new city, she had twenty five best
friends in a week and everybody knew her. She was
(25:20):
just the most social person in the world. Everybody enjoyed.
The Big Mac is what we call it Mary and Conway,
the red Bird, red Hair, and that was her nickname
when she was a kid, the red Bird. So she said, hey,
we're going to Thanksgiving. I have some friends in Louis Colorado.
(25:41):
I said, I don't know where Louis, Colorado is. Turns
out it's about sixty miles from Durango. And I said, okay,
I said, Tom, I'll go with you. We'll go to
Thanksgiving at Lewis in Louis, Colorado. I remember that name
for some reason. And so right as we're leaving, she
sits me down and she goes, hey, she goes, I
want to talk to me before you go, before we
go to Thanksgiving. So I don't know what you got going,
(26:03):
but I'm sure it's going to be a lecture. And
she said, I want you to dress up. I want
you to throw on you know, don't put on jeans
with holes in umber stains on them, with a T shirt,
you know, throw on some nice pants, sport coat, no tie,
but nice shirt, shoes, dress shoes, the whole run. He said, oh,
that's easy. I got that stuff with me. And so
(26:26):
we're driving. It's more than an hour because it was snowing.
It's sixty miles in winding road in Colorado. There's no highways.
It was just a lot of slow driving. So it
took about ninety minutes to get there. It was about
sixty miles something like that. And on the way there,
she said, can I ask you a favorite? Can you
please not smoke when you're there? I was smoking back then,
(26:46):
and I said all, I said, I won't do that.
I won't smoke, you know, I'll just take eight hours off.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
That's easy.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
And she said, also, don't be loud. You know, you
always seem to be loud. You're always the loudest guy table.
I said, okay, no problem. And she said, when we
get there, help serve. You know, if they're asking you
to help cut the turkey, carve the turkey, or serve people,
you know, get up and do that.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I said, I do that anyway.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
And then she said, after dinner, you know, clean up,
help them clean up, you know, rearrange the chairs, take
some dishes to the sink, and help load the dishwasher.
I said, ah, okay, I didn't know I was working
this Thanksgiving, but that's cool. And then she said, and
I used to wear a hat, a king's hat, and
she said, take the king's hat off. Don't wear the
king's hat around, you know, Thanksgiving. I said okay.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
And she said, also, please.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Don't clap, you know, if you're watching an NFL game,
don't yell at the TV and clap and you know,
just just sit there like a normal human being.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I said, okay, all right. And I remember my.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Mom brought a dish she brought she made some kind
of funky dish that she was bringing with her. But
I remember I had these little tiny marshmallows that you
put in your hot chocolate. And it was a bag
of those marshmallows. And I looked at him. I go, oh,
those are my favorite marshmallows. She goes, okay, well we
get there. Don't throw those things in the air and
(28:07):
catch them in your mouth at these people's home. Please
don't do that. I said, oh, okay, I won't do that.
And she said, also, don't make fun of their house.
You know, they have a their houses on wheels. They
live in a trailer trailer park. Please don't make fun
of their home. I said, okay, I won't do that.
No off color jokes, no, you know, you know, nothing,
just behave at this Thanksgiving. So I get to Thanksgiving,
(28:32):
I knock it out, I help, I tell stories. I'm
only I'm not loud, I don't smoke, I don't drink.
I am the perfect guest. I help serve the pie. Afterwards,
I help a woman in a wheelchair. I'm up to
the table and get her situated. Help, you know, serve
her mashed potatoes. I help clean up. I help load
(28:54):
the dishwasher. And as we're leaving, the woman who owns
the home said to my mom, Marianne, you've got a
perfect son here. You two are welcome back at our
home every Thanksgiving and from now on, whenever we have
a party, we'd love to have you. And I was
ten feet tall when I was leaving that house. Man,
(29:17):
I was the King of Colorado. And then we're driving
away from the house and my mom's quiet, And when
the redbird's quiet, she's pissed. She's angry, and I don't
know who angered her at Thanksgiving. So I said, hey, Ma,
what's going on with you? And she goes, oh, nothing.
I said, it's got to be something. What's going on
(29:38):
with you? And she said, well, can I tell you someoney? Said, yeah, man,
tell me anything you like. She said, Well, today at
Thanksgiving you just didn't seem yourself. I stopped the car
and I wanted to throw her out. I did every
(30:00):
thing she.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Asked, and it wasn't enough. Never enough with this woman.
Quiet ride home, Quiet ride home? All right, Mo, Kelly
is coming up next?
Speaker 9 (30:12):
Mo?
Speaker 3 (30:12):
What's on the big show? Night bub? But you're not bitter,
are you? You let it go?
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Look when when you're told what to do all day
and then that's still not good enough.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
There's no winning. No, there's sometimes you cannot win.
Speaker 12 (30:24):
And that's true if you are the child, it's true
if you're the husband.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, but you can never win at home, you know,
like you like somebody said to me, you know you
can never be respected at the first radio station you
worked for it. You can to the second, third, and
fourth because you can never be respect it at home.
Like no matter how much you know money you make,
when you go to your mom's for Thanksgiving, you're just
still her, you know her little Uh no, good son.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
You're never grown to your parents. Never.
Speaker 12 (30:52):
Hey, but I did want to ask you to be
serious because you were telling the story about your dogs
on the air. My heart was going out to you
because I can only imagine I've been in some similar situations,
but I know emotionally it can be heart reaching.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
We have to go tonight. I'm going to the vet right.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
After the show to discuss whether, you know, we do
any kind of treatment or not, because she needs open
heart surgery and they want to also do brain surgery.
And I'm like, she's thirteen years old.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
She can't handle that.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I mean, she's such a beautiful little doggie. So I
gotta go, and we got to make a decision. And
it's it's the worst. Well, you know, it's like when
you have a dog man, they really they grab you
and they hold on to you, and it's and it's so.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Tough. You know.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
With with human beings you can look back on sometimes
that they've screwed you over their flawed relationships whatever, But
a dog is perfect.
Speaker 12 (31:45):
And a dog you can't have that conversation to make
them understand what's going on and happening around that's right.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
All you can do is be there to comfort them.
It is it is really I'm sorry, sir, Thank you, buddy.
I really do appreciate what's on the big show tonight.
Speaker 12 (31:57):
Bob, Well, we got to talk about how Dunkin Donuts
they've brought back.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
They're free Wednesdays throughout the rest of the year.
Speaker 12 (32:02):
It's not too late if you want to get your
free donut and free coffee and all the free other
stuff that they're offering up on Wednesdays for the rest
of the year. Santa Ana Mayor has proposed an ordinance
to combat homelessness.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
We'll see how that's going to go.
Speaker 12 (32:13):
And if you ever wondered about what they're doing with
your health data, if you have like a fitbit like
I do, pixel watch, you know, how much are you
really giving away with those wearable devices.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
We'll talk about that as well. Yeah, I always wonder.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
And I also heard that you're not supposed to buy
a lot of vodka with a credit card because they
could track that too.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
They track everything.
Speaker 12 (32:33):
I'm at the point where, look, they've already seen me neck,
they know everything about me. Stop trying to hide stuff
the government knows.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
That's right, all right, I'll be listening, Thanks Moe Kelly
