Eric Sklar, The Duke of Sports, breaks down the shocking shakeup inside the Lakers organization: executives Joey and Jesse Buss have been dismissed from their research and development roles just weeks after new majority owner Mark Walter finalized his $10 billion purchase. The Buss brothers were known for identifying standout talent like Austin Reaves and Kyle Kuzma, making the move even more surprising.
The show then highlights heavy rain hammering Barstow—bad news for anyone headed to Vegas—and ongoing struggles for Topanga Canyon businesses still impacted by closures. Neil Saavedra will be live at Wendy’s in Mission Viejo this Saturday to officially kick off the annual Pastathon. Thanksgiving prep is underway, with turkeys going for as low as 58 cents a pound and listeners chiming in on what they’re bringing to dinner. The hour wraps with a chat about bumper stickers on high-end cars, plus a reminder about giving back to charities during the holiday season.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camp I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Breaking
news here, not about the rain, but about the Los
Angeles Lakers, And we grabbed the guy who knows more
about the Lakers than anybody in the world, the.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Duke of sports. The Duke is here, Eric Sklar. Hi you, Bob,
Dang dong Timmy. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
This is a major breaking story in sports. Yeah, what's
going on with the Lakers?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
So obviously we know that the Lakers were sold a
few months ago to Mark Walter, the owner of the Dodgers.
So the Bus family gave up their controlling ownership to
Mark Walter. Mark Walter now owns the majority of the Lakers.
The Bus family still retained about fifteen percent, enough to
keep Genie as the face of the team in the
(00:53):
on the board of governors for the NBA. Right, But
we knew once Mark Walter took over as owner there
were probably gonna be some changes in the front office.
When you buy a team for five plus billion dollars
like he paid, you're gonna want to have your own
imprint on the team. Sure, and it makes sense Joey
and Jesse Buss are Genie's younger brothers.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Are those the two youngest of his six kids? Yeah,
so doctor Jerry Buss had six kids. Genie obviously the
face of the Lakers owner all of that. Joey and
Jesse younger They've been in the front office for the
Lakers for the last twenty years, in the scouting department.
Jesse Buss was the assistant GM. Joey Buss was the
VP of Research and Development. This morning they were fired. Wow,
(01:36):
and they've brought in some pretty decent talent.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I mean Alex Caruso, Austin Reeves, Kyle Kuzma. They're responsible
for a lot of Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
They don't get the.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Credit for Lebron. Matthew Johnson gets the credit for Lebron. Okay,
that makes sense. But they were the heart and soul
of the Lakers scouting department. They ran that thing and
now they are are technically out of a job. I
mean they were attend it as it went immediately. Yeah,
this morning. They retain their ownership status, but their day
(02:09):
to day front office gigs they've been fired and a
majority of the scouting department was also let go this morning,
who's replacing it.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
That's a big department, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, the Lakers actually had one of the smallest scouting
departments in the league. They didn't even have a pro
level scouting department. Hey, listen, the Lakers were called the
mom and pop organization for a long time, right, And
now that we got big, like three hundred plus billion
dollars in ownership, now ownership is probably going to be
(02:39):
spending a lot more money on the scouting department.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So probably, But you know what, but those kids, and
I call them kids, they're probably as old as I am.
But they were very successful. I mean, this team is
eleven and four this year. Yeah, they're eleven to four
this year. Lebron missed the first thirteen to fourteen games.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, it's the first time he's missed time to start
a season in his career.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And there's still eleven and four. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Like I said, when you pay five plus billion dollars
for a team, you kind of want your own imprint.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
The agreement was between Genie Buss and Mark Walter that
Genie would stay on for a certain amount of time.
We don't really know exactly how long that is, but
Jeanie is going to stay on with the team as
the governor and the face of the team at the
league meetings and all of that type of stuff for
the time being. There was kind of an understanding that
(03:27):
I think Jesse and Joey were going to be part
of that. But also when it came to the actual sale,
the Lakers were owned by the Bus family Trust, and
the trust had to agree by a majority to sell
the team, and the reports were that the vote between
the six Bus siblings was split four to two to
(03:50):
to sell, and everybody pretty much it's kind of like
an unspoken thing, but it's pretty much assumed Jesse and
Joey Bus were the two votes against. Oh, is that
selling the team?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Because you got to think doctor Jerry Buss had set
up the trust and the Lakers and everything for it
to be passed down to his kids, right. Jeanie got
her turn, Jim tried to get his turn, but that
didn't work out, and Genie and Jim had their blow up.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
A couple of years. She was saying that these kids
were waiting for their shot to.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Run exactly so they had been in the front office
the last twenty years patiently waiting, developing the scouting department,
building it and doing a pretty good job at it,
and now right.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
With very little salary room.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, and very little resources to use as well.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Right, and so now, although they although playing for the
Lakers is a pretty good firsthand, yes, but I'm talking
about the resources Jesse and Joey had in terms of
scouting because of how small that department was. Right. But
when you say to somebody who is playing in Cleveland, Hey,
you want to come play for Lakers, I mean that's
that's a a great first you know, step. Yeah, but
(05:02):
free agency in the draft are pretty different. Okay, so
these kids are conflicted now because they can't go be
scouts or GMS for other teams while still owning part
of the Lakers technically.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Now, a few months ago, they had announced that they
were starting their own sports acquisition firms separate from the Lakers,
and that I think was kind of the writing on
the wall that I saw that as like, ah, their
time might be coming up soon.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So what does that mean when they're going to be
become agents.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Or no, they're going to own other sports franchises? Oh
really supposedly? Okay, alright, how old are those kids by
the way.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You know, I believe they're in their forties. All right,
What a life, you know, being your forties and other
than Lakers.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, yeah, it beats a lot of jobs around here.
But I thought a move like this was going to happen.
Either it should have happened before the season started or
after this season. I was not expecting to move like
this mid season. Lakers starting the season eleven and four,
third in the West. Everything, Well, what caused it? Do
you think I really ultimately think them voting against the sale?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Oh? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
There are some reports like a quote from Jesse Buss
in the ESPN article that was dropped about this as quote,
doctor Buss's idea was for Joey and I to run
basketball operations one day, Jesse Buss told ESPN, referring to
their father, Jerry Buss. Quote, but Jeanie hasn't.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But Jeanie has effectively kept herself in place with her
siblings fired.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Wow, a lot of bad blood there.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't think Thanksgiving is going to be a happy
holiday this week this season at the Bus family house.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
That's crazy, all right? Well, I mean it is odd,
but you understand when a guy spends five billion. He
wants his team in there. Yeah, and his guys have
done pretty good for other franchises that they voted exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I mean, when Mark Walter and the Guggenheim Group took
over the Dodgers, Ned Coletti was the GM of the
Dodgers and he was there for maybe a year, and
then they ended up getting rid of him, bringing in
Andrew Friedman. Far anxiety from the Tampa Bay Rays. Right,
and now look at where the Dodgers are at ten
years later. Three World series? Yeah, three World series and
(07:11):
six years back to back, first back to back in
twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And strewed out of another one. Yeah, well yeah, two
of them technically, Well yeah, yeah, I guess two of
them technically, right, all right, But well that's why what
is Magic Johnson's then job with the Lakers anything.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He doesn't currently have a job with the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
He but he's part of the team though.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, he's technically part of the Guggenheim Group. So yeah,
he's technically an owner of the Lakers. Again, but he's
more of a face than he should become.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
A bigger face for that franchise everybody loves. I don't
know if that's possible. Well, everybody loves that dude.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You remember how Maggie Johnson left the last time he
was in the Lakers front office.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
He just quit day of game, game day.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
He didn't give Jeanie Bus aheads up and the media
just ambushes him at before the game.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It was it was bad. All right, you're at the
Duke of shorts on social media, Yes, the Duke of Sports,
and you could use another half dozen to a dozen followers.
Well why not? All right, go follow the Duke of
Sports if you like to show or if you like
the Duke, follow him. He could use a bump here.
The Duke of Sports appreciate it, but I appreciate you
coming in a right pigedong with you, the Duke of
(08:18):
Sports and the Lakers big news man. I'm believable.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Forty Conway Show. We have a lot of rain out
in the in the high desert. If you live in Barstow,
you are getting absolutely worked right now and that storm
is going to continue. So if you're driving to Las
Vegas tonight again, you're getting a jump on the holiday.
You're going to go visit mom or dad. Maybe Dad
(08:47):
had a gambling jones, and move the family to Vegas.
That's possible. Then you're going to have rain almost the
entire trip to Las Vegas. And that storm is going
to follow you on the fifteen Freeway from Barstow. And
if you're driving slow enough, you know, thirty forty fifty
miles an hour because it's pouring and you can't see anything,
(09:07):
you'll be inside of that storm and getting irrigated. Absolutely
a deluge up there. You are going to get worked
by this rain, just water logged. So you're going to
be driving in rain all the way to Las Vegas. Now,
the other rain here that's local is more in let's
(09:28):
see here, there's San Bernardino, San Bernardino riverside. It's just
left Irvine, Pasadena. Just got a lot of it upland
in let's see what the time is on this six Okay,
so at around six forty no four, okay, in about
ten minutes from now, you're going to absolutely feel it.
(09:50):
If you're up in let me get the timing on
this right. If you're up in Apple Valleysperia, there's a big,
huge cell that's just blown through your area, and another
one on its way. And if you're in the lowlands
from Riverside all the way to Ocean Side. It's actually
further north. From San Diego to Riverside there is a
(10:13):
one huge wall of storms and rain, possible lightning. It
doesn't look like there's much lightning, but Menefee is going
to get absolutely drenched in the next next ten to
fifteen minutes. Paris. It's coming towards Hemmett. There's a huge
line of storms. It's one big line that goes basically
(10:37):
from Barstow to San Diego. This is huge, and so
if you live in the path from San Diego to Barstow,
you are getting wet right now. You're getting soaked. So
you got to turn around and go to your Belinda
tomorrow night because it's not safe to drive out there.
Or Belinda will be out there doing a live broadcast
(10:58):
even in the rain. We'll put the Krozier in the
parking lots it. Yeah, that's something nice, you know, get
the pneumonia before the holidays.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
One of those hats with the little umbrella on top
of the hat.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's always a good look. But you
can get out there if you can get out there tomorrow,
we'll be there from four to eight pm and it's
for Catarina's Club, raising money for these kids to eat food. Now,
if you don't think feeding kids that are starving is important,
then just go about your deck. But if you do
(11:32):
feel like kids should have a meal, you got to
show up. You got to be there. So we're expecting
a lot of people to come, even if it's raining.
Smart and final two to one five zero zero orberlinto
Boulevard right off the ninety one, you'll see it there
and we'll all be there. There'll be you know, lights
and signs, and you'll find a parking spot nearby. Bring
(11:54):
your umbrella in case it's raining, and we'll have a
we'll have a great time, great, great time, all right.
Topanga Canyon is Tobanga Canyon has had its problems, a
lot of struggles here with Tbanga Canyon. Not only do
are they getting mud flow and water, you know the
(12:15):
burn scar area. They're having to deal with some of
that on the northern actually the southern part of that canyon,
but also the businesses are struggling up there because they
relied on people going from the San Fernando Valley to
the beach and then stopping in a beautiful little tiny
town called I think it's they called Topanga or Topanga Canyon,
(12:38):
and it's just it's great. There's about five six, you know,
restaurants and shops there. There's a little post office there
and it's like old school California. You feel like you're
in the nineteen sixties or seventies when you drive through there.
But now that when they close this Tobanga Canyon and
you can't get through there, a lot of these shops
are struggling.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
When it rains and there's debrif flow with mudflow that
impacts to Panga Canyon Boulevard. It also impacts the shops
here into Panga Canyon. A lot of the business owners
say the rain and the fires have made business really
slow down.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Topanga Canyon was closed to traffic earlier this week because
of heavy rain. Past storms have triggered mud and debris
flow impacting to Pega Canyon Boulevard, and as the area
prepares for even more wet weather, the vulnerable hillsides are
on the mines of many, especially those who.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Work into Panga Canyon. All of our businesses are suffering
when it rains.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Tera Freed is a manager at Tapanga Homegrown and as
you can see, this shop is really special and there
are a lot of other small businesses that are very unique.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, it's beautiful. It really is great. If you've not
seen it, you got to try to get out there.
Maybe you know when they open it up and they
clean it up a little. But it's a beautiful part
of southern California.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
And very unusual.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I'll say. Next door is a shop.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Called The Well Refilled and.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
We sell a bunch of bulk refill as far as
like body care and home care products.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Hmm, tough to move a lot of that. I believe.
A lot of our stuff is eco friendly package, so
that you can kind of help eliminate the waste that
you make in your everyday life. That's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
These locally owned and operated shops depend on foot traffic
for business, and they've already seen a dip in customers
since the Palisades fire.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
We've lost a lot of people, a lot of friends
and family that no longer are in the area, and
that's a great, big loss for us.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Now with the rain and closures of Topanga Canyon Boulevard
business has been hurting.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's been slow to Pega.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Canyon Boulevard is typically closed nightly as crews work on
long term recovery from the damage caused by the Palisades fire.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I didn't know that they closed that thing nightly. That's
that's crazy. How these business are going to survive.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Paltrans has not announced the boulevard will close ahead of
this incoming storm.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
All right, if you do get an opportunity slide up
there and even if you know, visit these shops and
get some of the environmentally friendly you know, face masks
or whatever they're selling up there. But it really is beautiful.
Into the seventh Ray. I don't know if that's still open.
But that was a spectacular restaurant, very romantic, and that's
(15:13):
what I'm all about, you know. I was voted most
romantic guy in Burbank, which I thought was pretty cool
two years in a row, sort of back to back Burbank,
that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it was not a
lot of people knew about it and talked about it,
but yeah, back to back years and I thought that
(15:35):
was pretty pretty dead on, by the way, pretty right on.
I usually don't you know, accept words and very humble
crap like that. But I think I nailed those two
two years in row.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I'm so I'm so curious now, like, what what made
you receive the most romantic guy in Burbank two years
in a row?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Just everything I'm about, the flower pedals and the you
know and the sweet yeah candles. Yeah, I knocked it out.
Uh yeah, there was a place down What was that
place in San Clemente, Casa Deve Romantica. Yeah, yeah, that's
what a big plaque in Burbank is in front of
my house. Oh, you weren't born there.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I thought you were born there.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I sort of made the name for the house. You know,
follows me around everywhere because I love. My favorite thing
in the world is when when I was dating, or
now that I'm married, is when the woman I was
with said, can we talk? I love that. Put on
a big pot of coffee, put a you know, sit
(16:36):
Indian style or crisscross apple sauce on the couch, put
a pillow on my on my lap, chin in the
palm of your hand, and hoped that that lasts all night.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Tingers crossed.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Love those talks you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Conway Show. Neil Savedra joins us, Hi you Bob love
that guy? Yes, yes, yes, Yes to see you, sir, buddy.
Always nice to see you. I heard that you guys
are doing a remote on Saturday. Yeah, so Saturday we're
going to be out at Mission Viejo Wendy's. Yeah, Wendy's
out there? Is that A two three zero two to
(17:17):
Alicia Parkway that's the wowow. And you're going to be
out tomorrow at Mikelda Yes, your Belinda, Yeah, Mia Belinda
and twenty one five hundred Yorberlinda Boulevard and raising money
for Katerina's Club. And I always give this woman credit
because it wasn't for her, we'd not be doing this.
But Michelle Cube is responsible for all this. I just
(17:39):
got off the phone. She knows where everybody is right
now around Pasta thought, oh yeah, thought on season. She
knows where everybody is. Where are you are you bringing
something or are you taking something in regards to the
Pasta Club. And she'll be there on December tewod from
four am until eight pm. You know, Oh no, she's
the first one in the last one out. That's that's right,
(18:01):
all right, So I Thanksgiving is one week from today. Yeah,
and did you see these prices in some of these
grocery stores, you know, like wal Mart or Routs. They're
offering turkeys for like fifty eight cents a pound. Yeah.
That turkeys are a big deal right now there. What
you know, we're doing pretty good. Last year we had
(18:21):
the big bird flu, and although that's not completely stamped out,
the fact is they're going to be a lost leader
probably for some no I'm sure tet people in and
to buy the sides and everything else. But there's something
I don't know. Maybe it's because you know, you remember
your childhood, but there's something about the smell of a
turkey baking that's like nothing else in the world. It's okay, onions,
(18:45):
great garlic, I mean, sauteg just to smell you know,
fresh bread or pancakes in the morning, like bacon in
the morning, like all these things hal perfect connections and
turkeys right up there. Turkey is one of those things
where you smell the thing giving feast. And I know
that to a lot of people, the turkey is not
the most flavorful thing on the planet. But it can
(19:07):
be Yeah, it is, you know, and if it's moist,
and the next day with the sandwich it's unbreal on
white bread with mayonnaise, yeah, with a little bit of
maybe some stuffing in there as well, or the I'm
a dark meat guy, like the combination. But I like
good dark meat. So it's like, what about turkey, you
like that too? What? So here's the one thing I
(19:28):
think that is missing on Thanksgiving, And it happened at
my grandmother's that by my mom's as well. When you
wake up early on Thanksgiving, there's no breakfast. They're already
starting to put the dinner together. Oh yeah, no breakfast. No,
there's the cereal bo It looks like Seinfeld's house, his apartment,
just cereal boxes and no pancakes, no bacon. You'll get
(19:49):
breakfast on Christmas, oh yeah, one hundred percent will get dinner.
But on Thanksgiving no, yeah, because it does take Look
it takes two or three days to prep that meal.
It does. But I think the stress makes it a
little worse because really, the turkey you kind of put
in there, right, and you really shouldn't have to fuss
(20:10):
with it, right, But everything has to come together. Everything
is a time, and you know everything's time different, that
is different potato and beans. I think the first couple
of years of the Fork Report and when it came
to Thanksgiving, we had charts you could download. Oh that's
great because when it starts something, yeah you can time.
Oh that's praying. But really, then you get thrown off
(20:32):
because a family member who said they're going to bring
something need to reheat it in the oven that you
already have that real estate set for. So you have
to you have to know what people are bringing. You
have to know if they're bringing serving spoons or not.
You're like, that's it's not you, You're going to get it down.
It's whoever's coming going to throw you off. But I
(20:53):
think that but that hall that all that has to
be organized. If somebody shows up and they say, can
I use your oven? I think that's extremely rude. Well no,
because they feel like, no, I'm bringing this for you.
I know, but they have got to know that the
ovens on and it's being used. But that's you and me.
You're out like, I'm bringing mac and cheese. That's our
job this year, and oh mac and cheese is great
(21:16):
that's an awesome touchdown. That's a good one. And you
can do it in a crock pot. The second it's done,
I unplug it. I wrap it in. This is a
trick that caterers do. They wrap all this stuff in
saran wrap, in plastic. Right, you just keep so nothing leaks, right,
put it somewhere safe, drive it in and it's going
(21:39):
to be still warm enough when you get there. My
wife makes the best macaroni and cheese in the world,
and she always brings two full trays because it evaporates.
It just flies off the shelf. Yeah, you have to
double it. Your wife's a good cook. I've had her.
I've had her pasta, her baked stuff. Yeah, she'd bake
some cookies are out here on the dusk out here.
(22:00):
I didn't come here for you, but she One year
we were up in Oregon for Christmas and she made
her macaroni and cheese and she brought it to the
big Christmas dinner and I tasted it and I said, sweetie,
I said, what is this? What happened here? And she goes,
what do you mean? And she tasted it and she goes, oh,
you're right. She replaced the fresh cheese with Velveta, and
(22:24):
it wasn't supposed to be velvita. It was supposed to
be fresh cheese. And everybody knew it. Everybody knew it.
But Velveta is great for him, I know. But in
her particular, you know, my recipe, it had to be
that specific cheese and she remembers that to this day
because everybody talks about her mac and cheese. I should
bring it in one day. It is unbelievable and it's
(22:45):
like burnt on top. The Stoffers is very good for
boxed mac and cheese. The Stuffer's mac and cheese. It's
a box mac and cheese, frozen macaroni and cheese. Oh frozen. Yeah. Yeah.
It takes nine hours to make. Yeah, it's it's like
their lasagn yet right, Yeah, but it's one big hot brick. Yeah.
(23:07):
But bestofs does a great job with the lazaang is
pretty angry. But how do you burn it on top?
Do you put it under broil at the end? All right? Yeah?
And if you're gonna put crumbs, a crumb topping on
there or uh, you know, toast crumbs or whatnot, you
toss them. You put toss them in a skillet with
some butter before you do it, right, You're gonna be
(23:29):

the rain is. Victorville, Lancast out, Lancaster Palm Springs, ocean
side San Diego, straight line right down there. And then
Santa Barbara is about to get hit by another storm.
(25:09):
They've already had I think eight or nine inches of

rain out there still happening. All right. The holidays are

so that's tomorrow. Somebody is going to get that. I'm
watching TV and this time of year, there's a lot
(26:15):
of charity work out there, and thank God that they're
out there, because a lot of people would have nothing
to eat unless they were out there. And I'm watching
this one where cars are driving through and they stop
and people load the car up with food and what.
I don't know why I can't stand this, but I
cannot stand watching people put food into a car or
(26:38):
a truck and that car or truck is worth seventy
five thousand dollars it drives me crazy, and I don't
know what it is. I don't know the people own
that car. Maybe that's not paid off. Maybe they owe
seventy five thousand on the eighty thousand dollars car. But
if I were running one of those charities, I would
have to say. You have to have two of the
(27:00):
following on your car to get food. You either have
to have the donut the spare tire on the car.
You have to have duct tapes somewhere on the car.
The car has to be smoking. There has to be
smoke coming out of the engine or the exhaust pipe.
One of two could be a cracked windshield. If you
have a cracked windshield and a lot of dents, there
(27:22):
you go DNSE a lot of dents. Then you get food.
Faded paint, yeah, or a quarter panel that's a different
color than your car.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Total.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Yeah, you have a red car and it's great.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Any primer scene on the car.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Another one two or more lights on the car that
are out gone two at least too at least two
lights out, headlights, turn lights, brake lights, whatever, two or
more out you're in. If you have expired plates. You
have expired plates, you get food.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
And you have a nice car.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Even if it's a nice car, if you have expired plates,
you get food. And you have to have at least
three bumper stickers. And they can say anything that's up
to you, but at least three bumper stickers because really
only I hate to say this, by rich people don't
put bumper stickers.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
On their car.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
About a triple A sticker that that really doesn't count. No,
I like triple A. I think you get the triple
A sticker and that's a all grandfather that in.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I mean, you don't need to put a triple A
sticker on your car.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
No.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
But but I'm talking about to save the whales, you know,
take the fish about a fish fish decoal the fishes
go okay too, But it's got to be on the
inside window. Can't be on the back fender, in the
back of anything, on the back bumper you're out, you know.
But if you have three or more, you get food.
You get yourself food. Because wealthy people don't do that.
(28:44):
They don't put bumper stickers on their car. Ye you
never see that. Like a range rover, a bumper stickers
on never sin ever. It's just like hippies no.
Speaker 8 (28:52):
It's just the guy driving and got the you know,
the little like the forest stickers because they go camping
all the time.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, there are some stickers that are allowable, but the
you know save the whales, save the snails, you know
those stickers nails, or the one that has peace in
all the different religious signs coexist. Yeah. Yeah, I love
the stickers or the placards outside of homes that say,
(29:21):
you know, this is a peaceful home. This is a
diverse home. This is a home where everybody's treated the
same way. I'm like, man, if I was a robber,
I know it's not a gun in there, I'd bust
into that home pretty quickly. I'd leave the I'd leave
the homes alone that have American flags because you know
there's guns on the inside, at least one, probably ten.
(29:45):
They know it. Everybody on the street knows the rules,
they know the game. They know the rules. All Right,
we're gonna be there tomorrow, so come on by. We
will see you and your Belinda. Yea tomorrow four to eight.
We're staying an extra hour just so everybody gets can
come by. You get a bonus and you can buy
food there and donate, right there to Katerina's clubs.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
That's the best part. You don't have to go anywhere,
you just show up and then just start giving.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Yeah, and I think a lot I think they know that.
So they're going to stock up on the sauces and
the pasta and make sure that everybody has enough there
good point. Yeah, and we'll have special guests out there.
It'll be cool. It'll be cool, really yep. I don't
know who. A lot like the gift bags, I'm not
sure who they're going to be, but it's going to
be special. I think Chip Yost from Channel five is
(30:28):
going to try to stop bye. That guy does a
great job out there for KGLA. And I think Tim
Lynn also from KTLA four, he should fly for KTLA.
I think he's coming out as well, because I asked him.
I said, Hey, we're gonna be newr of Linda and
he said, bat signal recognized.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
And it's funny because Tim retired I don't know how
long ago.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
Yeah, probably five, six, seven years ago, but he's still
used on almost every chase by then, that's right. They
still call him up.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
They call him all the time. Yeah, Yeah, and he
sits there with his drink in his hand and calls.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
The chest.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Retire and you still get buzzed.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
That's right, multiple ways. And it came in. Tell he's
buzz You know the guys, they are true pro, true
pro out there his only downfall. He's a major major
Anaheim Ducks fan, major.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Fan, and is good though tomorrow leaves.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
And that that team is kicking ass. They're the number
one team in the in the West, in the Western Division,
number one team. You know, they got it going on.
They hired a coach they used to coach Grandville, used
to coach for Chicago, and he came in and revamped
that team and now they're kicking ass. I gotta look
at it before you. Yeah, we have time real quick.
(31:37):
Let me look it up. I think he's I think
that team is number one. Let me look at NHL standings.
Let's see NHL standings. I think they're Numero UNO in
the West. Yes they are. They have twenty seven points.
There are three points ahead of gold of the Golden Knights,
(31:57):
the Vegas Golden Knights, and also three point it's ahead
of the Kings. The Anaheim Ducks are the number one
team in the Pacific Division in the West. Number one
and the number two in the entire West with twenty
seven points. And if they were, and they have the
third best record in all of hockey, only the Hurricanes
(32:20):
Colorado have a better record. Hurricanes Colorado and I think,
let's see, yeah, Hurricanes Colorado have better records. The Anaheim
Ducks are the number three team in the entire NHL.
Number three. Nobody thought that. Nobody thought that team would
do anything. They're kicking ass, which is great for Orange County.
(32:42):
All right, 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 camp I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Breaking
news here, not about the rain, but about the Los
Angeles Lakers, And we grabbed the guy who knows more
about the Lakers than anybody in the world, the.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Duke of sports. The Duke is here, Eric Sklar. Hi you, Bob,
Dang dong Timmy. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
This is a major breaking story in sports. Yeah, what's
going on with the Lakers?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
So obviously we know that the Lakers were sold a
few months ago to Mark Walter, the owner of the Dodgers.
So the Bus family gave up their controlling ownership to
Mark Walter. Mark Walter now owns the majority of the Lakers.
The Bus family still retained about fifteen percent, enough to
keep Genie as the face of the team in the
(00:53):
on the board of governors for the NBA. Right, But
we knew once Mark Walter took over as owner there
were probably gonna be some changes in the front office.
When you buy a team for five plus billion dollars
like he paid, you're gonna want to have your own
imprint on the team. Sure, and it makes sense Joey
and Jesse Buss are Genie's younger brothers.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Are those the two youngest of his six kids? Yeah,
so doctor Jerry Buss had six kids. Genie obviously the
face of the Lakers owner all of that. Joey and
Jesse younger They've been in the front office for the
Lakers for the last twenty years, in the scouting department.
Jesse Buss was the assistant GM. Joey Buss was the
VP of Research and Development. This morning they were fired. Wow,
(01:36):
and they've brought in some pretty decent talent.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I mean Alex Caruso, Austin Reeves, Kyle Kuzma. They're responsible
for a lot of Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
They don't get the.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Credit for Lebron. Matthew Johnson gets the credit for Lebron. Okay,
that makes sense. But they were the heart and soul
of the Lakers scouting department. They ran that thing and
now they are are technically out of a job. I
mean they were attend it as it went immediately. Yeah,
this morning. They retain their ownership status, but their day
(02:09):
to day front office gigs they've been fired and a
majority of the scouting department was also let go this morning,
who's replacing it.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
That's a big department, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, the Lakers actually had one of the smallest scouting
departments in the league. They didn't even have a pro
level scouting department. Hey, listen, the Lakers were called the
mom and pop organization for a long time, right, And
now that we got big, like three hundred plus billion
dollars in ownership, now ownership is probably going to be
(02:39):
spending a lot more money on the scouting department.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So probably, But you know what, but those kids, and
I call them kids, they're probably as old as I am.
But they were very successful. I mean, this team is
eleven and four this year. Yeah, they're eleven to four
this year. Lebron missed the first thirteen to fourteen games.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, it's the first time he's missed time to start
a season in his career.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And there's still eleven and four. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Like I said, when you pay five plus billion dollars
for a team, you kind of want your own imprint.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
The agreement was between Genie Buss and Mark Walter that
Genie would stay on for a certain amount of time.
We don't really know exactly how long that is, but
Jeanie is going to stay on with the team as
the governor and the face of the team at the
league meetings and all of that type of stuff for
the time being. There was kind of an understanding that
(03:27):
I think Jesse and Joey were going to be part
of that. But also when it came to the actual sale,
the Lakers were owned by the Bus family Trust, and
the trust had to agree by a majority to sell
the team, and the reports were that the vote between
the six Bus siblings was split four to two to
(03:50):
to sell, and everybody pretty much it's kind of like
an unspoken thing, but it's pretty much assumed Jesse and
Joey Bus were the two votes against. Oh, is that
selling the team?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Because you got to think doctor Jerry Buss had set
up the trust and the Lakers and everything for it
to be passed down to his kids, right. Jeanie got
her turn, Jim tried to get his turn, but that
didn't work out, and Genie and Jim had their blow up.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
A couple of years. She was saying that these kids
were waiting for their shot to.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Run exactly so they had been in the front office
the last twenty years patiently waiting, developing the scouting department,
building it and doing a pretty good job at it,
and now right.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
With very little salary room.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, and very little resources to use as well.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Right, and so now, although they although playing for the
Lakers is a pretty good firsthand, yes, but I'm talking
about the resources Jesse and Joey had in terms of
scouting because of how small that department was. Right. But
when you say to somebody who is playing in Cleveland, Hey,
you want to come play for Lakers, I mean that's
that's a a great first you know, step. Yeah, but
(05:02):
free agency in the draft are pretty different. Okay, so
these kids are conflicted now because they can't go be
scouts or GMS for other teams while still owning part
of the Lakers technically.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Now, a few months ago, they had announced that they
were starting their own sports acquisition firms separate from the Lakers,
and that I think was kind of the writing on
the wall that I saw that as like, ah, their
time might be coming up soon.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So what does that mean when they're going to be
become agents.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Or no, they're going to own other sports franchises? Oh
really supposedly? Okay, alright, how old are those kids by
the way.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You know, I believe they're in their forties. All right,
What a life, you know, being your forties and other
than Lakers.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, yeah, it beats a lot of jobs around here.
But I thought a move like this was going to happen.
Either it should have happened before the season started or
after this season. I was not expecting to move like
this mid season. Lakers starting the season eleven and four,
third in the West. Everything, Well, what caused it? Do
you think I really ultimately think them voting against the sale?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Oh? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
There are some reports like a quote from Jesse Buss
in the ESPN article that was dropped about this as quote,
doctor Buss's idea was for Joey and I to run
basketball operations one day, Jesse Buss told ESPN, referring to
their father, Jerry Buss. Quote, but Jeanie hasn't.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But Jeanie has effectively kept herself in place with her
siblings fired.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Wow, a lot of bad blood there.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't think Thanksgiving is going to be a happy
holiday this week this season at the Bus family house.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
That's crazy, all right? Well, I mean it is odd,
but you understand when a guy spends five billion. He
wants his team in there. Yeah, and his guys have
done pretty good for other franchises that they voted exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I mean, when Mark Walter and the Guggenheim Group took
over the Dodgers, Ned Coletti was the GM of the
Dodgers and he was there for maybe a year, and
then they ended up getting rid of him, bringing in
Andrew Friedman. Far anxiety from the Tampa Bay Rays. Right,
and now look at where the Dodgers are at ten
years later. Three World series? Yeah, three World series and
(07:11):
six years back to back, first back to back in
twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And strewed out of another one. Yeah, well yeah, two
of them technically, Well yeah, yeah, I guess two of
them technically, right, all right, But well that's why what
is Magic Johnson's then job with the Lakers anything.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He doesn't currently have a job with the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
He but he's part of the team though.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, he's technically part of the Guggenheim Group. So yeah,
he's technically an owner of the Lakers. Again, but he's
more of a face than he should become.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
A bigger face for that franchise everybody loves. I don't
know if that's possible. Well, everybody loves that dude.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You remember how Maggie Johnson left the last time he
was in the Lakers front office.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
He just quit day of game, game day.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
He didn't give Jeanie Bus aheads up and the media
just ambushes him at before the game.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It was it was bad. All right, you're at the
Duke of shorts on social media, Yes, the Duke of Sports,
and you could use another half dozen to a dozen followers.
Well why not? All right, go follow the Duke of
Sports if you like to show or if you like
the Duke, follow him. He could use a bump here.
The Duke of Sports appreciate it, but I appreciate you
coming in a right pigedong with you, the Duke of
(08:18):
Sports and the Lakers big news man. I'm believable.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Forty Conway Show. We have a lot of rain out
in the in the high desert. If you live in Barstow,
you are getting absolutely worked right now and that storm
is going to continue. So if you're driving to Las
Vegas tonight again, you're getting a jump on the holiday.
You're going to go visit mom or dad. Maybe Dad
(08:47):
had a gambling jones, and move the family to Vegas.
That's possible. Then you're going to have rain almost the
entire trip to Las Vegas. And that storm is going
to follow you on the fifteen Freeway from Barstow. And
if you're driving slow enough, you know, thirty forty fifty
miles an hour because it's pouring and you can't see anything,
(09:07):
you'll be inside of that storm and getting irrigated. Absolutely
a deluge up there. You are going to get worked
by this rain, just water logged. So you're going to
be driving in rain all the way to Las Vegas. Now,
the other rain here that's local is more in let's
(09:28):
see here, there's San Bernardino, San Bernardino riverside. It's just
left Irvine, Pasadena. Just got a lot of it upland
in let's see what the time is on this six Okay,
so at around six forty no four, okay, in about
ten minutes from now, you're going to absolutely feel it.
(09:50):
If you're up in let me get the timing on
this right. If you're up in Apple Valleysperia, there's a big,
huge cell that's just blown through your area, and another
one on its way. And if you're in the lowlands
from Riverside all the way to Ocean Side. It's actually
further north. From San Diego to Riverside there is a
(10:13):
one huge wall of storms and rain, possible lightning. It
doesn't look like there's much lightning, but Menefee is going
to get absolutely drenched in the next next ten to
fifteen minutes. Paris. It's coming towards Hemmett. There's a huge
line of storms. It's one big line that goes basically
(10:37):
from Barstow to San Diego. This is huge, and so
if you live in the path from San Diego to Barstow,
you are getting wet right now. You're getting soaked. So
you got to turn around and go to your Belinda
tomorrow night because it's not safe to drive out there.
Or Belinda will be out there doing a live broadcast
(10:58):
even in the rain. We'll put the Krozier in the
parking lots it. Yeah, that's something nice, you know, get
the pneumonia before the holidays.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
One of those hats with the little umbrella on top
of the hat.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's always a good look. But you
can get out there if you can get out there tomorrow,
we'll be there from four to eight pm and it's
for Catarina's Club, raising money for these kids to eat food. Now,
if you don't think feeding kids that are starving is important,
then just go about your deck. But if you do
(11:32):
feel like kids should have a meal, you got to
show up. You got to be there. So we're expecting
a lot of people to come, even if it's raining.
Smart and final two to one five zero zero orberlinto
Boulevard right off the ninety one, you'll see it there
and we'll all be there. There'll be you know, lights
and signs, and you'll find a parking spot nearby. Bring
(11:54):
your umbrella in case it's raining, and we'll have a
we'll have a great time, great, great time, all right.
Topanga Canyon is Tobanga Canyon has had its problems, a
lot of struggles here with Tbanga Canyon. Not only do
are they getting mud flow and water, you know the
(12:15):
burn scar area. They're having to deal with some of
that on the northern actually the southern part of that canyon,
but also the businesses are struggling up there because they
relied on people going from the San Fernando Valley to
the beach and then stopping in a beautiful little tiny
town called I think it's they called Topanga or Topanga Canyon,
(12:38):
and it's just it's great. There's about five six, you know,
restaurants and shops there. There's a little post office there
and it's like old school California. You feel like you're
in the nineteen sixties or seventies when you drive through there.
But now that when they close this Tobanga Canyon and
you can't get through there, a lot of these shops
are struggling.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
When it rains and there's debrif flow with mudflow that
impacts to Panga Canyon Boulevard. It also impacts the shops
here into Panga Canyon. A lot of the business owners
say the rain and the fires have made business really
slow down.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Topanga Canyon was closed to traffic earlier this week because
of heavy rain. Past storms have triggered mud and debris
flow impacting to Pega Canyon Boulevard, and as the area
prepares for even more wet weather, the vulnerable hillsides are
on the mines of many, especially those who.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Work into Panga Canyon. All of our businesses are suffering
when it rains.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Tera Freed is a manager at Tapanga Homegrown and as
you can see, this shop is really special and there
are a lot of other small businesses that are very unique.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, it's beautiful. It really is great. If you've not
seen it, you got to try to get out there.
Maybe you know when they open it up and they
clean it up a little. But it's a beautiful part
of southern California.
Speaker 7 (13:52):
And very unusual.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I'll say. Next door is a shop.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Called The Well Refilled and.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
We sell a bunch of bulk refill as far as
like body care and home care products.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Hmm, tough to move a lot of that. I believe.
A lot of our stuff is eco friendly package, so
that you can kind of help eliminate the waste that
you make in your everyday life. That's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
These locally owned and operated shops depend on foot traffic
for business, and they've already seen a dip in customers
since the Palisades fire.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
We've lost a lot of people, a lot of friends
and family that no longer are in the area, and
that's a great, big loss for us.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Now with the rain and closures of Topanga Canyon Boulevard
business has been hurting.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It's been slow to Pega.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
Canyon Boulevard is typically closed nightly as crews work on
long term recovery from the damage caused by the Palisades fire.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I didn't know that they closed that thing nightly. That's
that's crazy. How these business are going to survive.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Paltrans has not announced the boulevard will close ahead of
this incoming storm.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
All right, if you do get an opportunity slide up
there and even if you know, visit these shops and
get some of the environmentally friendly you know, face masks
or whatever they're selling up there. But it really is beautiful.
Into the seventh Ray. I don't know if that's still open.
But that was a spectacular restaurant, very romantic, and that's
(15:13):
what I'm all about, you know. I was voted most
romantic guy in Burbank, which I thought was pretty cool
two years in a row, sort of back to back Burbank,
that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it was not a
lot of people knew about it and talked about it,
but yeah, back to back years and I thought that
(15:35):
was pretty pretty dead on, by the way, pretty right on.
I usually don't you know, accept words and very humble
crap like that. But I think I nailed those two
two years in row.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I'm so I'm so curious now, like, what what made
you receive the most romantic guy in Burbank two years
in a row?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Just everything I'm about, the flower pedals and the you
know and the sweet yeah candles. Yeah, I knocked it out.
Uh yeah, there was a place down What was that
place in San Clemente, Casa Deve Romantica. Yeah, yeah, that's
what a big plaque in Burbank is in front of
my house. Oh, you weren't born there.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I thought you were born there.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I sort of made the name for the house. You know,
follows me around everywhere because I love. My favorite thing
in the world is when when I was dating, or
now that I'm married, is when the woman I was
with said, can we talk? I love that. Put on
a big pot of coffee, put a you know, sit
(16:36):
Indian style or crisscross apple sauce on the couch, put
a pillow on my on my lap, chin in the
palm of your hand, and hoped that that lasts all night.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Tingers crossed.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Love those talks you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Conway Show. Neil Savedra joins us, Hi you Bob love
that guy? Yes, yes, yes, Yes to see you, sir, buddy.
Always nice to see you. I heard that you guys
are doing a remote on Saturday. Yeah, so Saturday we're
going to be out at Mission Viejo Wendy's. Yeah, Wendy's
out there? Is that A two three zero two to
(17:17):
Alicia Parkway that's the wowow. And you're going to be
out tomorrow at Mikelda Yes, your Belinda, Yeah, Mia Belinda
and twenty one five hundred Yorberlinda Boulevard and raising money
for Katerina's Club. And I always give this woman credit
because it wasn't for her, we'd not be doing this.
But Michelle Cube is responsible for all this. I just
(17:39):
got off the phone. She knows where everybody is right
now around Pasta thought, oh yeah, thought on season. She
knows where everybody is. Where are you are you bringing
something or are you taking something in regards to the
Pasta Club. And she'll be there on December tewod from
four am until eight pm. You know, Oh no, she's
the first one in the last one out. That's that's right,
(18:01):
all right, So I Thanksgiving is one week from today. Yeah,
and did you see these prices in some of these
grocery stores, you know, like wal Mart or Routs. They're
offering turkeys for like fifty eight cents a pound. Yeah.
That turkeys are a big deal right now there. What
you know, we're doing pretty good. Last year we had
(18:21):
the big bird flu, and although that's not completely stamped out,
the fact is they're going to be a lost leader
probably for some no I'm sure tet people in and
to buy the sides and everything else. But there's something
I don't know. Maybe it's because you know, you remember
your childhood, but there's something about the smell of a
turkey baking that's like nothing else in the world. It's okay, onions,
(18:45):
great garlic, I mean, sauteg just to smell you know,
fresh bread or pancakes in the morning, like bacon in
the morning, like all these things hal perfect connections and
turkeys right up there. Turkey is one of those things
where you smell the thing giving feast. And I know
that to a lot of people, the turkey is not
the most flavorful thing on the planet. But it can
(19:07):
be Yeah, it is, you know, and if it's moist,
and the next day with the sandwich it's unbreal on
white bread with mayonnaise, yeah, with a little bit of
maybe some stuffing in there as well, or the I'm
a dark meat guy, like the combination. But I like
good dark meat. So it's like, what about turkey, you
like that too? What? So here's the one thing I
(19:28):
think that is missing on Thanksgiving, And it happened at
my grandmother's that by my mom's as well. When you
wake up early on Thanksgiving, there's no breakfast. They're already
starting to put the dinner together. Oh yeah, no breakfast. No,
there's the cereal bo It looks like Seinfeld's house, his apartment,
just cereal boxes and no pancakes, no bacon. You'll get
(19:49):
breakfast on Christmas, oh yeah, one hundred percent will get dinner.
But on Thanksgiving no, yeah, because it does take Look
it takes two or three days to prep that meal.
It does. But I think the stress makes it a
little worse because really, the turkey you kind of put
in there, right, and you really shouldn't have to fuss
(20:10):
with it, right, But everything has to come together. Everything
is a time, and you know everything's time different, that
is different potato and beans. I think the first couple
of years of the Fork Report and when it came
to Thanksgiving, we had charts you could download. Oh that's
great because when it starts something, yeah you can time.
Oh that's praying. But really, then you get thrown off
(20:32):
because a family member who said they're going to bring
something need to reheat it in the oven that you
already have that real estate set for. So you have
to you have to know what people are bringing. You
have to know if they're bringing serving spoons or not.
You're like, that's it's not you, You're going to get it down.
It's whoever's coming going to throw you off. But I
(20:53):
think that but that hall that all that has to
be organized. If somebody shows up and they say, can
I use your oven? I think that's extremely rude. Well no,
because they feel like, no, I'm bringing this for you.
I know, but they have got to know that the
ovens on and it's being used. But that's you and me.
You're out like, I'm bringing mac and cheese. That's our
job this year, and oh mac and cheese is great
(21:16):
that's an awesome touchdown. That's a good one. And you
can do it in a crock pot. The second it's done,
I unplug it. I wrap it in. This is a
trick that caterers do. They wrap all this stuff in
saran wrap, in plastic. Right, you just keep so nothing leaks, right,
put it somewhere safe, drive it in and it's going
(21:39):
to be still warm enough when you get there. My
wife makes the best macaroni and cheese in the world,
and she always brings two full trays because it evaporates.
It just flies off the shelf. Yeah, you have to
double it. Your wife's a good cook. I've had her.
I've had her pasta, her baked stuff. Yeah, she'd bake
some cookies are out here on the dusk out here.
(22:00):
I didn't come here for you, but she One year
we were up in Oregon for Christmas and she made
her macaroni and cheese and she brought it to the
big Christmas dinner and I tasted it and I said, sweetie,
I said, what is this? What happened here? And she goes,
what do you mean? And she tasted it and she goes, oh,
you're right. She replaced the fresh cheese with Velveta, and
(22:24):
it wasn't supposed to be velvita. It was supposed to
be fresh cheese. And everybody knew it. Everybody knew it.
But Velveta is great for him, I know. But in
her particular, you know, my recipe, it had to be
that specific cheese and she remembers that to this day
because everybody talks about her mac and cheese. I should
bring it in one day. It is unbelievable and it's
(22:45):
like burnt on top. The Stoffers is very good for
boxed mac and cheese. The Stuffer's mac and cheese. It's
a box mac and cheese, frozen macaroni and cheese. Oh frozen. Yeah. Yeah.
It takes nine hours to make. Yeah, it's it's like
their lasagn yet right, Yeah, but it's one big hot brick. Yeah.
(23:07):
But bestofs does a great job with the lazaang is
pretty angry. But how do you burn it on top?
Do you put it under broil at the end? All right? Yeah?
And if you're gonna put crumbs, a crumb topping on
there or uh, you know, toast crumbs or whatnot, you
toss them. You put toss them in a skillet with
some butter before you do it, right, You're gonna be
(23:29):
at Wendy's the day after tomorrow. Yes, Neil Broadcasting Lives

the rain is. Victorville, Lancast out, Lancaster Palm Springs, ocean
side San Diego, straight line right down there. And then
Santa Barbara is about to get hit by another storm.
(25:09):
They've already had I think eight or nine inches of

rain out there still happening. All right. The holidays are

so that's tomorrow. Somebody is going to get that. I'm
watching TV and this time of year, there's a lot
(26:15):
of charity work out there, and thank God that they're
out there, because a lot of people would have nothing
to eat unless they were out there. And I'm watching
this one where cars are driving through and they stop
and people load the car up with food and what.
I don't know why I can't stand this, but I
cannot stand watching people put food into a car or
(26:38):
a truck and that car or truck is worth seventy
five thousand dollars it drives me crazy, and I don't
know what it is. I don't know the people own
that car. Maybe that's not paid off. Maybe they owe
seventy five thousand on the eighty thousand dollars car. But
if I were running one of those charities, I would
have to say. You have to have two of the
(27:00):
following on your car to get food. You either have
to have the donut the spare tire on the car.
You have to have duct tapes somewhere on the car.
The car has to be smoking. There has to be
smoke coming out of the engine or the exhaust pipe.
One of two could be a cracked windshield. If you
have a cracked windshield and a lot of dents, there
(27:22):
you go DNSE a lot of dents. Then you get food.
Faded paint, yeah, or a quarter panel that's a different
color than your car.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Total.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Yeah, you have a red car and it's great.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Any primer scene on the car.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Another one two or more lights on the car that
are out gone two at least too at least two
lights out, headlights, turn lights, brake lights, whatever, two or
more out you're in. If you have expired plates. You
have expired plates, you get food.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
And you have a nice car.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Even if it's a nice car, if you have expired plates,
you get food. And you have to have at least
three bumper stickers. And they can say anything that's up
to you, but at least three bumper stickers because really
only I hate to say this, by rich people don't
put bumper stickers.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
On their car.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
About a triple A sticker that that really doesn't count. No,
I like triple A. I think you get the triple
A sticker and that's a all grandfather that in.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I mean, you don't need to put a triple A
sticker on your car.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
No.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
But but I'm talking about to save the whales, you know,
take the fish about a fish fish decoal the fishes
go okay too, But it's got to be on the
inside window. Can't be on the back fender, in the
back of anything, on the back bumper you're out, you know.
But if you have three or more, you get food.
You get yourself food. Because wealthy people don't do that.
(28:44):
They don't put bumper stickers on their car. Ye you
never see that. Like a range rover, a bumper stickers
on never sin ever. It's just like hippies no.
Speaker 8 (28:52):
It's just the guy driving and got the you know,
the little like the forest stickers because they go camping
all the time.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, there are some stickers that are allowable, but the
you know save the whales, save the snails, you know
those stickers nails, or the one that has peace in
all the different religious signs coexist. Yeah. Yeah, I love
the stickers or the placards outside of homes that say,
(29:21):
you know, this is a peaceful home. This is a
diverse home. This is a home where everybody's treated the
same way. I'm like, man, if I was a robber,
I know it's not a gun in there, I'd bust
into that home pretty quickly. I'd leave the I'd leave
the homes alone that have American flags because you know
there's guns on the inside, at least one, probably ten.
(29:45):
They know it. Everybody on the street knows the rules,
they know the game. They know the rules. All Right,
we're gonna be there tomorrow, so come on by. We
will see you and your Belinda. Yea tomorrow four to eight.
We're staying an extra hour just so everybody gets can
come by. You get a bonus and you can buy
food there and donate, right there to Katerina's clubs.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
That's the best part. You don't have to go anywhere,
you just show up and then just start giving.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Yeah, and I think a lot I think they know that.
So they're going to stock up on the sauces and
the pasta and make sure that everybody has enough there
good point. Yeah, and we'll have special guests out there.
It'll be cool. It'll be cool, really yep. I don't
know who. A lot like the gift bags, I'm not
sure who they're going to be, but it's going to
be special. I think Chip Yost from Channel five is
(30:28):
going to try to stop bye. That guy does a
great job out there for KGLA. And I think Tim
Lynn also from KTLA four, he should fly for KTLA.
I think he's coming out as well, because I asked him.
I said, Hey, we're gonna be newr of Linda and
he said, bat signal recognized.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
And it's funny because Tim retired I don't know how
long ago.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
Yeah, probably five, six, seven years ago, but he's still
used on almost every chase by then, that's right. They
still call him up.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
They call him all the time. Yeah, Yeah, and he
sits there with his drink in his hand and calls.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
The chest.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Retire and you still get buzzed.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
That's right, multiple ways. And it came in. Tell he's
buzz You know the guys, they are true pro, true
pro out there his only downfall. He's a major major
Anaheim Ducks fan, major.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Fan, and is good though tomorrow leaves.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
And that that team is kicking ass. They're the number
one team in the in the West, in the Western Division,
number one team. You know, they got it going on.
They hired a coach they used to coach Grandville, used
to coach for Chicago, and he came in and revamped
that team and now they're kicking ass. I gotta look
at it before you. Yeah, we have time real quick.
(31:37):
Let me look it up. I think he's I think
that team is number one. Let me look at NHL standings.
Let's see NHL standings. I think they're Numero UNO in
the West. Yes they are. They have twenty seven points.
There are three points ahead of gold of the Golden Knights,
(31:57):
the Vegas Golden Knights, and also three point it's ahead
of the Kings. The Anaheim Ducks are the number one
team in the Pacific Division in the West. Number one
and the number two in the entire West with twenty
seven points. And if they were, and they have the
third best record in all of hockey, only the Hurricanes
(32:20):
Colorado have a better record. Hurricanes Colorado and I think,
let's see, yeah, Hurricanes Colorado have better records. The Anaheim
Ducks are the number three team in the entire NHL.
Number three. Nobody thought that. Nobody thought that team would
do anything. They're kicking ass, which is great for Orange County.
(32:42):
