Description: Ten members of a major burglary crew tied to at least 92 break-ins across Los Angeles have been arrested in a sweeping multi-agency bust. Conway then shared a wild story about Huell Howser, who once sued him for using adult film music under clips of his classic TV show and even nearly fought him at Pink’s Hot Dogs—unlike Kevin and Bean, who eventually made peace with Conway, Huell never did. The Petros and Money Show, nicknamed the WienerLords of LA, have now enlisted Sweet James Bergener to sue Conway over claims that he wrongfully took credit for inventing Hot Dog Day. Conway closed the segment with his fiery rebuttal to their cease-and-desist letter.
5:05pm – Ten members of a major burglary crew tied to at least 92 burglaries in Los Angeles have been arrested following a major multi-agency bust last week, city leaders announced.
5:20pm – Huell Howser sued Conway for using porn music under classic lines from his old TV shows, and almost got beat up by him at Pinks Hot Dogs. Kevin and Bean used to have issues with Conway... until they met him. But Huell Howser??? Nope!
5:35pm – The WienerLords of LA (aka The Petros and Money Show) tap the legal services of Sweet James Bergener to file a lawsuit against Conway for issues related to Hot Dog Day, which Conways claims to have invented.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to The Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. I am at
six forty. It is The Conway Show. All right, it's Monday.
It's hotter than hell out. It's I mean, it's got
to be bad. It's not gonna be you know, it's
(00:21):
not gonna one hundred and thirty all week. So it's
a little warm, but you know, it's all is what
can you do?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
You know?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
And people say it's unseasonably warm, it's not. It's perfectly seasoned.
It's seasonably seasonal warmth. That's what we get.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
All right.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
A lot of crime going on. They're trying to.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Get a hold of, you know, what's of the people
of these crews going into Encino Studio city Tarzanna Sherman
Oak Sino with the Nills, the con the crime burglary crew.
We got an update here because you know there are
I think there's like four or five different crews that
are doing this. They caught the rich Roland crew suspected
(01:03):
of nearly one hundred burglaries in the city of Los Angeles,
one hundred and these guys have been going to slow
down a little bit here.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
We talked to LAPD chiefs Jim McDonald. He told us
that the ten person burglary crew our career criminals, and
they're responsible for nearly one hundred homebreakings across the city
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Wow, this crew, which had victimized families and businesses is
no longer a threat to our neighborhoods.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
This morning, LA leaders announcing.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
By the way, let me play that again for you.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
This crew, which had victimized families and businesses is no
longer a threat to our neighborhoods.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I'm going to stay on high alert on that.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I think that there are going to be some you know,
some pleas. They're gonna play guilty on some things, not
on others. They're not going to have, you know, the
right evidence. I think that of these ten guys, I
bet half of them are out by next year and
doing the same thing. That's how LA operates. Look, I wish,
(02:07):
I wish, you know, the new DA can wrap this
up and put these guys away for a long time.
But there are a lot of people out there that
are are fighting this and they continued to fight for
criminals in Los Angeles. I don't know when that started,
because when I was a kid, both the Democrats and
Republicans wanted to throw these guys in the can for
(02:28):
a while. And now it seems like people are are
you know, like Wow, they had tough childhood. You know,
Dad was abusive, Mom was abusive. They didn't d well
in school. Wasn't their fault, nothing was their fault, and
they let them out early. Let's find out what's going
on with this crew.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
This morning, LA leaders announcing the takedown of the Rich
role In and Burglary Crew.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
They had their own name, the Rich roll In Burglary Crew.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I don't wonder if they had hats and shirts and
pens and you know, calendars, the giveaways.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I wonder if they had giveaways.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Down of the Rich role In and Burglary Crew.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Not a bad name, Rich Rolling.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Burglary Crew, Rolling and Burglary Crew.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I wonder if that name's given to them or they
gave it to themselves.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
The operation took place last Wednesday.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
At the five am on the twentieth.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
This is the chief Chief, Jim McDonald.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Great guy, but a Bruins fan, yep, a Boston Bruins fan.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
How about that.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
At five am on the twentieth, teams from West Los
Angeles Area and Operations West Bureau, along with detectives from
North Hollywood, West Valley, Olympic Hollywood, Wiltshire, and Central areas,
serve Warrens at eight residents across Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Take a look. This map shows you the neighborhoods across
Los Angeles or the breacons were happening ninety two took
place in the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
How about that they know that Los Angeles is the
place to rob Holmes. Out of the one hundred homes,
ninety two percent, we're in the city of Los Angeles
ninety two percent.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Does that give you a pause?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Look, if you're.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Entrenched in your neighborhood, you like your neighbors, You've been there,
Maybe your mom and dad lived in that neighborhood. Maybe
you have friends and family live in your neighborhood. I
get sticks saying, you know, sticking through this.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
But if you're new and you're newlywed, you got a kid,
maybe you know a one year old, a couple of kids,
three year old to five year old, whatever, and you're
looking for a house in La I would seriously think
about another community outside of the city of La the
smaller communities like we're We're Krozier lives out there in Montclair, Claremont,
(04:35):
Claremont that I bet you know they have their own
police force out there, right, they do, Claremont does. And
they got their own schools, their own school system.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yes, we do.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Clermont County Fire or their own fire department, I believe
County County Fire. But but I bet every one of
your neighbors never complains about fire, cops or schools in
your neighborhood, not.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Generally, I know.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, because it works in smaller towns like that. Yeah,
especially in Claremont. They got like fifteen colleges out there. Yes,
that's a big part. Yeah, but it's but it And
I have you had to call the cops since you've
lived there two weeks ago?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I did, really and a neighbor who started beating up
on his kid, Okay, and how were they responsive?
Speaker 7 (05:19):
I never got a call back, But I know that
they are very very good about that stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
In Burbank, man, they step to you quick, they come out,
they come out in four or five cars.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Yeah, Yeah, that's very Claremont. Yeah, Yeah, they get there.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
A lot of times.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
It's like the first couple of times you see something
like that, especially in a town like Claremont, you're like,
what happened and they're like, not really much.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
The guy who's kind of jay walking.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, but they do that in Burbank, man, they come
out quick.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
They come out quick.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So I would think about one of these smaller communities
if you've got kids and because your job as a
dad is to protect the wife and the kids, or
the hut and the kids, or the wife.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
And the you know.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
The whole run ninety two took place in the city
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Ninety two percent of the burglaries out of one hundred,
took place in the city of La.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Nearly half in West la. An additional break in was
reported in Lli County.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Ten suspects, all adult career criminals with prior arrests for
violent and property crimes, had been identified tenor confirmed gang members.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
The majority of the home break ins happened this year
and last year, but some date back to twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You know, when I was growing up in the San
Fernando Valley, I never knew any home that was robbed
in our neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Never heard it, never knew of it, never got word
of it. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Now you go to any neighborhood in Sherman Oaks and
asked some guy, Hey, you know anybody around here got robbed?
Oh yeah, down the street. They got robbed last week,
a year ago. Those guys got robbed, two months ago,
they got robbed, We got robbed.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Everyone has being robbed.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Police officers recovered handguns, at drugs, at burglary tools, and
sole property from designer purses to wallets and jewelry.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
These are not crimes of need. These are crimes of greed.
I want the burglars and the robbers to know that
if we don't get you that day, we're gonna get you.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell also telling us that they do
not believe that this specific burglary crew is tied to
the home break ins that we've seen over the summer
in the Encino area, but they want the community to
know they are working very hard behind the scenes to
make an arrest in those cases as well.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
There you go, all right, Yeah, they're out there. They're
going to try to get these guys, but it's tough.
You know, there's not a lot of lapd. I think
they're eighty four hundred sworn officers and they have to
protect from count from my well Chatsworth to sam Pedro
Chatsworth the sam Pedro, which is probably as the crow flies,
(07:52):
maybe thirty five or forty miles, Probably closer to thirty five.
I'll look that up during the break, but I would
say it's closer to thirty thirty five minles. And my
wife actually when I was when I took a break
last week, she says, you got to stop using that
term as the crow flies.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Yeah, And I said, why is that?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
She goes, because this younger generation has no idea what
that means, and the older generation it's confusing to them
as well. And I said, but it's a simple term,
you know, as the crow flies means a direct line
between point A and point B.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
It's one of my favorite phrases.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I think it's I think it's sensational. But she thought
you just made it up. Really as the source? Is
that right?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I remember Stephus a couple of weeks ago, before you know,
I did the cartwheels on the one oh five. But
I said to him I said, hey, uh, how far
are you from Sofi Stadium? He said about twenty minutes.
I said, what about the as the crow flies? He
goes as the crow flies about ten minutes. I said, ah,
it said, Bunny, as the crow flies not a measurement
(08:57):
of time. It's a measurement of distance because nobody knows
how fast the crow flies. The crows don't even know.
Nobody can relate to what you're just hoping. And that
was before the accent. There was b A before the accent.
And it's it's a direct measurement between point A and
point B without any squiggly lines. It's a straight line.
(09:17):
That's what how the crow fly, That's what it means.
I love that, Sammy, you just thought I made that up.
That is sensational.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
That is great on a couple levels.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
One that that I, you know, smart enough to come
up with something like that. I think that's a compliment.
And belly El is going to get rolled real quick,
you know. Welcome back, yeah, welcome back, all right. I
am for the first time my life being threat well,
second time my life being threatened with a lawsuit, second
(09:48):
time in my life.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And I have the paper.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Here and we have video of you being serve.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
That's the second time my life I have legal challenges.
We'll come back, I'll read you the letter and I'll
tell you about the first time. It was hul Hauser
that wanted to sue me. Yeah, I couldn't believe it.
I was a big fan of his, and he wanted
to assume me. Well, first of all, I wanted to
kick my ass, and then he wanted to sue me.
It was odd man, and it all happened, and it
(10:17):
all happened. It all happened at Pink's hot Dogs. He
wanted to He threatened to kill me or beat the
hell out of me, the s out of me, he said,
and or sue me. I couldn't believe it. It's crazy, crazy done. Oh,
come back, I'll read this one though. Second time legal
challenge legal drub relve on KFI KFI am s according
(10:37):
to Conway Show, for the second time in twenty five No,
thirty years next next Christmas will be thirty years doing radio.
Thirty years. Yeah, I don't have the thirty six years.
The crosier as seven thirty seven, sorry, thirty seven, uh
thirty seven. So the first time that I was threatened
(11:00):
with a lawsuit. Was the late Heulhauser one of my
favorite guys in the world. And I truly mean that.
Whenever I am buzzing around TV and I land on
California Gold, on California Goal, I always stop and watch.
I love Heulhauser. I loved his shows. If the closer
(11:26):
to my house that he was filming, the more I
was interested. He did a California Gold. It was a
series on you know, showing how great California is, how
beautiful it is. And he did local ones as well.
He did one on tally Rand, which is a beautiful
restaurant down the street here, an old you know, I
hate the term greasy spoon, but that pretty much says
(11:49):
what it is.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
They got great food. They've been around forever.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
All the staff has been there for you know, twenty
thirty forty years, and they get to know you and
you get to know them. It's like an extended family
and it's great.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Tali Rand.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
If you ever looking for a nice place to eat
on a weekday or a weekend, just have breakfast. Oh,
tally Rand is the best. So we used to take
Hulhauser audio and edit it where it sounded like it
was a porno you know. We'd take clips out and
put porno music behind it, and he would be saying
(12:24):
things like, you know, he was at Seize Candy. They
used to have a I think they still do. One
of their big operations is down near Rodeo Drive near
Los Sienega, and that's what they make a lot of
their candy. And he took a tour of the candy
facility and he would say things like, wow, look at
the size of that Look at the size of that thing. Wow,
(12:48):
Hey can I touch that?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
How come you licking that rock?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
And we would take at audio and it would be
Huel Hauser and we got a lot of clips from
a half hour show.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
We might say like fourteen or fifteen good clips.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And we played on the air and then I and
I read in the newspaper or maybe I saw it online.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
It wasn't that wasn't online. Back there, I think I
made a sell on TV.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
That he was going to be at Pink's Hot Dog,
which is, you know, just about two miles as the
crow flies from kalis X.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
And I want to go see him. I want to
go meet Heuel Houser.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And I was completely unaware that he had that he
had heard us doing that, and it also angered him.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
So I went to Pink's hot Dogs. He was there.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
They were introducing the new hul Hauser hot Dog and
it's still there today. You can go get the hul
Houser hot Dog. It's two hot dogs in one bun.
I'm not bsing you. That is the Huelhuser hot Dog.
Two hot dogs in one bun. Hey, how come those
dogs are in one bun? I know it seems flat.
(14:05):
So I walk up to him. I go, hey, hil Houser, man,
I'm a huge fan of yours. My name's Tim Conways.
You're in this Dug Steck. We do a radio show
in town. He goes, I know who the f you are,
and he goes, I was also trained as a marine,
and I could choke both of you guys out right
here and kill both of you right here at Pinks.
(14:28):
And I thought he was kidding. I'm like, ah, heel howser,
you're great. And he says, you're going to get a
letter tomorrow from my lawyers, and we did. We got
a letter from his lawyers the very next day telling
us that if we ever did it, again, he would
sue us for everything we own, and much to Jack Silver,
the program director at kalis X, when he gets a
(14:50):
threatening letter like that, much to his credit, he said, guys, you.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Got to stop doing that. We'll get rid of everything
you've ever done on you house. You're never gonna mention
his name again.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I'm gonna send this letter back, You're gonna apologize on
the air, and we're never gonna have any contact with
him again.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Like, okay, thanks for fighting for us.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Jack loved it, so we never did it again, and
it sort of went away. And then I was very
sad when hul Houser passed away, and I sat on
a couple levels. One that I really enjoyed the show
California Go, and the second one was that I was
really sad that I upset him. He seemed like a
very nice man, always upbeat, always had very positive things
(15:38):
about saying about everybody, and that I upset him made
me upset. It made me sad that I did that
to him. I thought it was just in fun, and
he took it really personally and hated it. And I
would have never done that if I knew then, you know,
I thought it would you know, like radio idiots, like
you know.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Curser, you know who Kevin and ban are.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Okay, So Vin and Bean were on k Rock for many,
many years, and they used to always go on the
air saying that the Conway and Steckler Show is the
worst show on radio period. And they'd played clips of
the show and they took really really bad clips of
the show and played it like, look, this sucks. I
don't know what they're doing over there, and we ran
(16:19):
into They did it for like two years, and then
we ran into Kevin and Bean at the LA Convention
Center at Staples Center when they're gonna have the Democratic
National Convention. And I saw him. I saw Kevin and Bean,
and so I walked up to him where I was
the Steckler. I said, hey, you're Kevin and Bean. They said, yeah,
who are you guys? I said's Conway and steck He goes, oh, man,
(16:40):
we've been going after you guys for two years and
you never responded. You should have responded. It would have
been great, you know. And we then we talked for
like twenty minutes. I thought that was going to be
the same reaction that hul Hauser had, and it wasn't
not at all.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
He was very upset with it, very very angry.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So I never said that I created hot Dog Day.
I said, we just did hot Dog Day here on KFI. Well,
Petros and Money they didn't like that. They said they
created hot Dog Day. And if you look on if
you google, who created hot Dog Day? And did Petros
(17:20):
the Money create hot Dog Day? Both AI and Google
agree they did not and they have no rights to it.
But they wanted me to stop at iHeartMedia, and they
got a lawyer involved, and we come back, I'll play
the segment that they did and the letter from the
lawyer asking me to stop saying that I created hot
(17:41):
Dog Day, which if you go back through the tapes
of this show, I never once said that that I
created hot Dog Day. I said that Steph Fush missed
Hot Dog Day. I didn't say I created it. And
I knew something was wrong. When a guy, when a
radio guy misses hot dog it's bad. It's really bad.
(18:05):
He's either close to death or he died. And that
was the case with Steph Fush. He missed hot Dog
Day on the day of his accident. And when I
saw those hot dogs steaming out there with fresh cut onions,
mustard and relish, and I saw that there were extras.
When I left at seven o'clock, I said, oh, this
is bad.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
This is bad.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I think Steph Fusch died. I think, you know, because
he missed Hot Dog Day. The only way you miss
Hot Dog Day in radio, you died. And thank god
he didn't. Thank god he's alive. But we'll come back.
We'll play the segment the Petro's Money did on air
and the letter from the lawyer. By the way, he
(18:48):
refers the lawyer who put this all together is sweet James,
and he said, the true creators of this glorious sausage
slinging tradition are none other than the respected and honor
gentlemen the Petros and Money show herein referred to as
quote the true Wiener Lords of Los Angeles. Okay, well,
(19:13):
I guess that's their new name, right, So it's not
Petro some Money and Moore. I sort of enjoyed that name.
Now it's the true Wiener Lords of Los Angeles. All right,
we'll have to get used to that bellio to calm
the Wiener Lords.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah, we'll give them that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, but now that's I guess, unless I'm reading this wrong,
they want us to.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Herein referred to as the True Wiener Lords of Los Angeles.
So I don't know if they're going to change the billboards,
but that's the new name of the show, The Wiener Lords.
Petro some money's the Wiener Lords. I guess they approve that.
They gave me this letter, so they approve that name.
You can hear The Wiener Lords on five seventy AM.
(19:55):
They're on every afternoon right after Fred Rogan, Come the
Wier Lords.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We're live on KFI.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
KFI AM six forty. It is The Conway Show.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I'll play the segment that there's a show down the
Hall with Petros and Map the True Wiener Lords of
Los Angeles. And while I was on vacation, the Wiener
Lords had Sweet James on, and so it's about eight minutes.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I think we can play the whole thing if I
don't stop it.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
So let's roll The Wiener Lords interviewing Sweet James Bergner.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
It's time for justice with Sweet James, a long time
supporter of the Petros and Money Show. There's a reason
we have him on retainer. He's been on a little
hiatus with some traveling this summer, but he's on the
show we need him on today. This is a moment
(21:03):
of why we have Sweet James on retainer. Eight hundred
and nine million is the number, quite simply, the greatest
personal injury attorney that ever lived. It is Sweet James.
When he's not driving a monster truck across the desert
in Dubai, he's helping us with our problems. Eight hundred
and nine million, and you don't pay until you settle,
(21:25):
and they're open twenty four to seven, Sweet James, what's cracking?
Sweet James? How are you? Well?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
It's only fitting that the best personal injury is on
the best sports doc radio show.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
So yeah, how are you? Guys? Do?
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I love you? Guys?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
We love you, Sweet James, and we're doing okay there.
I know Kates might have given you a little reader's
digest version of the situation with the hot dog machine.
Now we know that your law firm. You know, there's
always people trying to be like you know, semi sweet
(21:58):
sal you know, or they to do like the baseball
the baseball style logo that you guys have used that
have been so popular over the years, the nine million
in the phone number. You know people have tried to
replicate that. So how involved do you get when somebody's
trying to bite your stop? Do you know what?
Speaker 5 (22:20):
I don't look backwards.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
We're looking forward where it is going to better ourselves.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
I'm not going to pete against anybody, but we were yesterday,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
So you know what.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
They come and they go, so, hey.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
I don't care, but that's not our position. Yeah, we
definitely we hold a bludge forever. Okay, so that may
be your position, Okay, we constantly look back all James.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Here's the moment here we are. The past keeps me
up at night every single night, tossing and turning. Seriously,
uh so this is the moment in the pitch meeting
where I step back and Matt steps forward.
Speaker 9 (22:57):
Here, here is what we are seeking. This is the
this is the legal advice we are seeking. Sweet James.
We came up with Hot Dog Day at iHeart Mat.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
We got a special stage. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm
a step back.
Speaker 9 (23:12):
It's a show thing Petrus in money show at a
hot dog steamer. We opened our studio to everybody on
the fourth floor. Even some people from the fifth floor
would come down. We would schedule one to two, maybe
three hot dog Days every year. It was a special event. Right,
We've been doing it for years. Tim Conway Junior reaches
(23:34):
out and we have a transcript. July twentieth, eight o
seven pm. Sorry to bug. Do you remember where you
got that hot dog steamer? I can't find it anywhere.
Thinking he's looking for one for his daughter's party at
the house or something like that, we send him the link.
He buys the exact same hot dog steamer we have.
(23:55):
He brings it into work. He starts doing Hot Dog
Day every Wednesday, and then he starts telling people he
invented hot Dog Day.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Oh boy, can wee him? He told Rick Chambers that
on chat. We have it on tape on Channel five.
I don't know if he said he invented it, but
he brings up hot Dog Day like it's his. Oh
you boys know that I love Tim Conway, Like, yeah,
we do. It's a problem.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
I love him. Yeah, do you know what I'll tell
you this? I love you guys way more.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, we got a case.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Here.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
We go. You'll send him, You'll send him a strongly
worded letter, a season desist. He can't tell people he
invented hot dog Day.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Tell many how many swear swear words?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
You want that letter? I mean, we wanted to be
We wanted to be professional. We wanted to be professional.
But he did say F you buddy to Matt. When
Matt went down there to confront him, he drops it bump,
He said, f you buddy. Okay, okay, so we've got
one F word in the letter.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Okay, we'll be good.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
This one a lot better than we thought it was
going to be. This is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
We thought we thought we've been Ray Kroc, you know,
in a lot of ways here like McDonald's, and you
know we're not. We don't want him to stop hot
dog Day, right, because we can't stop somebody from serving
hot no right at the station, right.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
That's all we want.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
Anytime he mentions hot dog Day, he has to say
as invented and created by the Petrosen Money Show.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Do we have him on? Uh? Do you we have
him on on Channel five talking like hot dog Days
his thing and being really swaggery with Rick Chambers the
foot soldier for Channel.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Time because they would just there'd be no doubt that
we would be doing an oh bit tonight had they
just driven past here he.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Comes in radio.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
If a guy misses hot dog Day, Uh, that's an emergency.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
It's big red flat see that. And you called it
hot dog Day.
Speaker 9 (26:09):
It's been hot dog Day on the Petro some Money
show for a half decade.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
They enjoyed our hot Dog Day before they created their own.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, no, that you have absolutely Uh that it's protected.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
That's copyrighted infringement. There there's no recognition.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yes, actually that you really have a case.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
Now we got to go for the big fish. We
got the little fish, Tim Conway. Now we got to
go for the big fish.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Okay, can we sue?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
iHeartRadio. We're gonna sue our employer. I'll sue anybody you want.
But you know, I love you guys, but you can't
have it.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
But this damages damaged, It lessens our credibility. Is the
creator of Hotdog Days?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Like is there like a clause where it's like, hey,
can I get some extra money on this lawsuit? Because
I look like a bitch for bringing it out? But
they forced it out of me. You know, I don't
like to be right, but this is hot Dog Day.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
This is what you guys, You guys in betteded, this
is your I.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Bet you, sweet James. Now I'm talking out of turn
as a legal guy here, but I bet you, sweet James,
that Conway will settle out of court just to avoid discovery.
People know what a douche is. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
hey now wait, money, I do this some some some
d bag in Cleveland's not going to be that's my thing.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
That was my wacky morning DJ skit.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
We don't know that Mary Potter.
Speaker 9 (27:35):
That we don't know, but we we we are willing
to limit the damages. The only damages that we want
paid are acknowledging in the Los Angeles radio market that
anybody that does Hot Dog Day has to acknowledge as
created by the Petros and Money show. That's that's all
we're looking for in the Los Angeles radio market.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Only that's spair, that's sir.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
And hey, how about he washes your car like four
times done?
Speaker 9 (28:00):
We had that on that done and he can keep
making the hot dogs. He's just gotta make this. I
gotta make the statement.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Tim Kates. Created by Tim Kates is offered to deliver
the letters, so if you could email it to him, uh,
at your convenience, of course, Sweet James. I don't think
like this is a problem that's gonna go away anytime soon.
So we'll have that letter out later tonight.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
I'll have that.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
In the game. There's nobody, Sweet James.
Speaker 9 (28:33):
He's got serve bathroom too. He's going to be going
to the bathroom out of his studio, going to drop
that right over the stall.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
All right, So that was the is a bike on
he potted up? It's pot up?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
It's not potted up your No, you're up. It's not
potted up. Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
It is.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Can you hear men for some reason with its unplugged.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Welcome back? What an idiot?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Huh yeah, all right, Uh no it's not. How How
long could I have argued that.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
You were you selling?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
You were dug in, like until seven o'clock and then
Brian comes in and goes, buddy, you got it? You
what's going on with me? All right, I'll read the letter.
I got a strongly worded letter from Sweet James. And
I've not chosen my lawyers yet, but I think I'm
a lawyer up as well. I think I'm gonna get
(29:38):
I heard that Malibu Dan went to drive by a
law school, but use him.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Law school.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
He never went inside. I think he uh, you know,
he drove by it once. All right, relyve on CAF.
I am six forty. It is the Conway Show. I
got a strongly worded letter from James and I think
it's sort of half kidding, you know, half joking. But
then at the bottom it says, seriously, you have to
stop using Hot Dog Day on KFI.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So here's the letter. If you're just tuning in.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
The guys down the hall, the Wiener Lords said that
they created The Wiener Lords created hot Dog Day, and
I never said I created it, but they think I did,
and they think I I sort of lifted it from them,
which I didn't. I just never mentioned that. I you
know that the Wiener Lords also do the same thing,
(30:36):
and I guess I should have. All right, hey, you
know we're having hot dogs. But it's the Wiener Lords
that really started this. So here's the letter. Mister tim
Weeny Jacker Conway come to our detention via numerous falls
(30:56):
on air proclamations, half truth and ball park grade lies
that you have been parroting or parading around town claiming
that you're the originator of Hot Dog Day, which is
simply not true. Never once said that. Let us be clear,
you are not. But if you do google who created
(31:19):
hot Dog Day, it is not the Wiener Lords.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
It is not.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
On klac's afternoon show, the Wiener Lords.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It's just not.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
The two creators of this glorious sausage slinging tradition are
none other than the respected and honorable gentleman of the
Petros and Money Show. Herein referred to as the True
Wiener Lords of Los Angeles. And I don't know why
they're changing the name. I used to like pet PMS,
(31:51):
Petros and Money, but they, I guess it says herein
referred to as the true Wiener Lords of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
All right, I could do that. I could make that
that leap.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
They marinated this idea, grilled to perfection, and fed it
to the masses long before you squirted your first packet
of mustard.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
You continued.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Your continued misappropriation of this cultural institution constitutes flagrant condiment
piracy and not to mention, emotional ketchup spillage.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
It must stop immediately.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
And again this whole thing is is sort of a joke,
but the bottom it says, seriously, you have to stop
using hunt talk there so I think it might there
might be some serious.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Tone to this.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
And now to top and now on top of stealing
their Meati legacy, we hear that you told Matt money
Smith to f off.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Tim.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
That's not how we share the grill. Brother at City wrote,
that's actually pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I did Matt.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Matt accused me four or five times of stealing Hot
Dog Day, and I finally said, buddy, f off f off,
and and he sort of did for a little while.
According Accordingly, you are hereby ordered to cease and desist
all false claims, references, or suggestion or suggestive nods that
(33:22):
you I birthed Hot Dog Day from your own loins.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
You didn't.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
You're stealing hot dog valor and you know it. We
demand within five business days they retract your claims publicly,
preferably while wearing a hot dog costume and admitting that
the Wiener Lords were first. You may use ketchup if
you must, but mustard is the law. You may continue
(33:49):
your store. You you may continue your stolen hot dog
Day tradition as long as you recognize and acknowledge to
each and every inch and every instance that the beautiful
lords at PMS created the majestic and noble event. Failure
to comply may result in further action, including but nonlimited
(34:09):
to public shaving being banned from future Hot Dog Days.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
And let's not find out because it's all bad.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
So we hope this matter is resolved without resorting to
any additional grilling. Sincerely, sweet relish James. And then at
the bottom, PS, Seriously, you have to stop using hot
Dog Day. It's the Wiener Lords, and so I haven't
decided what to do. We'll probably still use it, and
we'll probably then now take full credit for it. I mean,
(34:37):
that's my n Chirk reaction is to go the opposite way,
and that's probably what's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
So we're going to do it more often.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
We're going to say that we created it, and we're
not going to give any credit to the Wiener Lords.
That's probably the direction we're going. Is that what you thought, Bellio,
I'm with you, Conway'.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
You gotta double down, you gotta split tens in your life.
We're live on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty
It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to The Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. I am at
six forty. It is The Conway Show. All right, it's Monday.
It's hotter than hell out. It's I mean, it's got
to be bad. It's not gonna be you know, it's
(00:21):
not gonna one hundred and thirty all week. So it's
a little warm, but you know, it's all is what
can you do?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
You know?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
And people say it's unseasonably warm, it's not. It's perfectly seasoned.
It's seasonably seasonal warmth. That's what we get.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
All right.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
A lot of crime going on. They're trying to.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Get a hold of, you know, what's of the people
of these crews going into Encino Studio city Tarzanna Sherman
Oak Sino with the Nills, the con the crime burglary crew.
We got an update here because you know there are
I think there's like four or five different crews that
are doing this. They caught the rich Roland crew suspected
(01:03):
of nearly one hundred burglaries in the city of Los Angeles,
one hundred and these guys have been going to slow
down a little bit here.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
We talked to LAPD chiefs Jim McDonald. He told us
that the ten person burglary crew our career criminals, and
they're responsible for nearly one hundred homebreakings across the city
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Wow, this crew, which had victimized families and businesses is
no longer a threat to our neighborhoods.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
This morning, LA leaders announcing.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
By the way, let me play that again for you.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
This crew, which had victimized families and businesses is no
longer a threat to our neighborhoods.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I'm going to stay on high alert on that.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I think that there are going to be some you know,
some pleas. They're gonna play guilty on some things, not
on others. They're not going to have, you know, the
right evidence. I think that of these ten guys, I
bet half of them are out by next year and
doing the same thing. That's how LA operates. Look, I wish,
(02:07):
I wish, you know, the new DA can wrap this
up and put these guys away for a long time.
But there are a lot of people out there that
are are fighting this and they continued to fight for
criminals in Los Angeles. I don't know when that started,
because when I was a kid, both the Democrats and
Republicans wanted to throw these guys in the can for
(02:28):
a while. And now it seems like people are are
you know, like Wow, they had tough childhood. You know,
Dad was abusive, Mom was abusive. They didn't d well
in school. Wasn't their fault, nothing was their fault, and
they let them out early. Let's find out what's going
on with this crew.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
This morning, LA leaders announcing the takedown of the Rich
role In and Burglary Crew.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
They had their own name, the Rich roll In Burglary Crew.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I don't wonder if they had hats and shirts and
pens and you know, calendars, the giveaways.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I wonder if they had giveaways.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Down of the Rich role In and Burglary Crew.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Not a bad name, Rich Rolling.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Burglary Crew, Rolling and Burglary Crew.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I wonder if that name's given to them or they
gave it to themselves.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
The operation took place last Wednesday.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
At the five am on the twentieth.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
This is the chief Chief, Jim McDonald.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Great guy, but a Bruins fan, yep, a Boston Bruins fan.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
How about that.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
At five am on the twentieth, teams from West Los
Angeles Area and Operations West Bureau, along with detectives from
North Hollywood, West Valley, Olympic Hollywood, Wiltshire, and Central areas,
serve Warrens at eight residents across Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Take a look. This map shows you the neighborhoods across
Los Angeles or the breacons were happening ninety two took
place in the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
How about that they know that Los Angeles is the
place to rob Holmes. Out of the one hundred homes,
ninety two percent, we're in the city of Los Angeles
ninety two percent.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Does that give you a pause?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Look, if you're.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Entrenched in your neighborhood, you like your neighbors, You've been there,
Maybe your mom and dad lived in that neighborhood. Maybe
you have friends and family live in your neighborhood. I
get sticks saying, you know, sticking through this.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
But if you're new and you're newlywed, you got a kid,
maybe you know a one year old, a couple of kids,
three year old to five year old, whatever, and you're
looking for a house in La I would seriously think
about another community outside of the city of La the
smaller communities like we're We're Krozier lives out there in Montclair, Claremont,
(04:35):
Claremont that I bet you know they have their own
police force out there, right, they do, Claremont does. And
they got their own schools, their own school system.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yes, we do.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Clermont County Fire or their own fire department, I believe
County County Fire. But but I bet every one of
your neighbors never complains about fire, cops or schools in
your neighborhood, not.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Generally, I know.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, because it works in smaller towns like that. Yeah,
especially in Claremont. They got like fifteen colleges out there. Yes,
that's a big part. Yeah, but it's but it And
I have you had to call the cops since you've
lived there two weeks ago?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I did, really and a neighbor who started beating up
on his kid, Okay, and how were they responsive?
Speaker 7 (05:19):
I never got a call back, But I know that
they are very very good about that stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
In Burbank, man, they step to you quick, they come out,
they come out in four or five cars.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Yeah, Yeah, that's very Claremont. Yeah, Yeah, they get there.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
A lot of times.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
It's like the first couple of times you see something
like that, especially in a town like Claremont, you're like,
what happened and they're like, not really much.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
The guy who's kind of jay walking.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, but they do that in Burbank, man, they come
out quick.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
They come out quick.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So I would think about one of these smaller communities
if you've got kids and because your job as a
dad is to protect the wife and the kids, or
the hut and the kids, or the wife.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
And the you know.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
The whole run ninety two took place in the city
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Ninety two percent of the burglaries out of one hundred,
took place in the city of La.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Nearly half in West la. An additional break in was
reported in Lli County.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Ten suspects, all adult career criminals with prior arrests for
violent and property crimes, had been identified tenor confirmed gang members.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
The majority of the home break ins happened this year
and last year, but some date back to twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You know, when I was growing up in the San
Fernando Valley, I never knew any home that was robbed
in our neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Never heard it, never knew of it, never got word
of it. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Now you go to any neighborhood in Sherman Oaks and
asked some guy, Hey, you know anybody around here got robbed?
Oh yeah, down the street. They got robbed last week,
a year ago. Those guys got robbed, two months ago,
they got robbed, We got robbed.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Everyone has being robbed.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Police officers recovered handguns, at drugs, at burglary tools, and
sole property from designer purses to wallets and jewelry.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
These are not crimes of need. These are crimes of greed.
I want the burglars and the robbers to know that
if we don't get you that day, we're gonna get you.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell also telling us that they do
not believe that this specific burglary crew is tied to
the home break ins that we've seen over the summer
in the Encino area, but they want the community to
know they are working very hard behind the scenes to
make an arrest in those cases as well.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
There you go, all right, Yeah, they're out there. They're
going to try to get these guys, but it's tough.
You know, there's not a lot of lapd. I think
they're eighty four hundred sworn officers and they have to
protect from count from my well Chatsworth to sam Pedro
Chatsworth the sam Pedro, which is probably as the crow flies,
(07:52):
maybe thirty five or forty miles, Probably closer to thirty five.
I'll look that up during the break, but I would
say it's closer to thirty thirty five minles. And my
wife actually when I was when I took a break
last week, she says, you got to stop using that
term as the crow flies.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Yeah, And I said, why is that?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
She goes, because this younger generation has no idea what
that means, and the older generation it's confusing to them
as well. And I said, but it's a simple term,
you know, as the crow flies means a direct line
between point A and point B.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
It's one of my favorite phrases.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I think it's I think it's sensational. But she thought
you just made it up. Really as the source? Is
that right?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I remember Stephus a couple of weeks ago, before you know,
I did the cartwheels on the one oh five. But
I said to him I said, hey, uh, how far
are you from Sofi Stadium? He said about twenty minutes.
I said, what about the as the crow flies? He
goes as the crow flies about ten minutes. I said, ah,
it said, Bunny, as the crow flies not a measurement
(08:57):
of time. It's a measurement of distance because nobody knows
how fast the crow flies. The crows don't even know.
Nobody can relate to what you're just hoping. And that
was before the accent. There was b A before the accent.
And it's it's a direct measurement between point A and
point B without any squiggly lines. It's a straight line.
(09:17):
That's what how the crow fly, That's what it means.
I love that, Sammy, you just thought I made that up.
That is sensational.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
That is great on a couple levels.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
One that that I, you know, smart enough to come
up with something like that. I think that's a compliment.
And belly El is going to get rolled real quick,
you know. Welcome back, yeah, welcome back, all right. I
am for the first time my life being threat well,
second time my life being threatened with a lawsuit, second
(09:48):
time in my life.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And I have the paper.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Here and we have video of you being serve.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
That's the second time my life I have legal challenges.
We'll come back, I'll read you the letter and I'll
tell you about the first time. It was hul Hauser
that wanted to sue me. Yeah, I couldn't believe it.
I was a big fan of his, and he wanted
to assume me. Well, first of all, I wanted to
kick my ass, and then he wanted to sue me.
It was odd man, and it all happened, and it
(10:17):
all happened. It all happened at Pink's hot Dogs. He
wanted to He threatened to kill me or beat the
hell out of me, the s out of me, he said,
and or sue me. I couldn't believe it. It's crazy, crazy done. Oh,
come back, I'll read this one though. Second time legal
challenge legal drub relve on KFI KFI am s according
(10:37):
to Conway Show, for the second time in twenty five No,
thirty years next next Christmas will be thirty years doing radio.
Thirty years. Yeah, I don't have the thirty six years.
The crosier as seven thirty seven, sorry, thirty seven, uh
thirty seven. So the first time that I was threatened
(11:00):
with a lawsuit. Was the late Heulhauser one of my
favorite guys in the world. And I truly mean that.
Whenever I am buzzing around TV and I land on
California Gold, on California Goal, I always stop and watch.
I love Heulhauser. I loved his shows. If the closer
(11:26):
to my house that he was filming, the more I
was interested. He did a California Gold. It was a
series on you know, showing how great California is, how
beautiful it is. And he did local ones as well.
He did one on tally Rand, which is a beautiful
restaurant down the street here, an old you know, I
hate the term greasy spoon, but that pretty much says
(11:49):
what it is.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
They got great food. They've been around forever.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
All the staff has been there for you know, twenty
thirty forty years, and they get to know you and
you get to know them. It's like an extended family
and it's great.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Tali Rand.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
If you ever looking for a nice place to eat
on a weekday or a weekend, just have breakfast. Oh,
tally Rand is the best. So we used to take
Hulhauser audio and edit it where it sounded like it
was a porno you know. We'd take clips out and
put porno music behind it, and he would be saying
(12:24):
things like, you know, he was at Seize Candy. They
used to have a I think they still do. One
of their big operations is down near Rodeo Drive near
Los Sienega, and that's what they make a lot of
their candy. And he took a tour of the candy
facility and he would say things like, wow, look at
the size of that Look at the size of that thing. Wow,
(12:48):
Hey can I touch that?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
How come you licking that rock?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
And we would take at audio and it would be
Huel Hauser and we got a lot of clips from
a half hour show.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
We might say like fourteen or fifteen good clips.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And we played on the air and then I and
I read in the newspaper or maybe I saw it online.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
It wasn't that wasn't online. Back there, I think I
made a sell on TV.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
That he was going to be at Pink's Hot Dog,
which is, you know, just about two miles as the
crow flies from kalis X.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
And I want to go see him. I want to
go meet Heuel Houser.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And I was completely unaware that he had that he
had heard us doing that, and it also angered him.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
So I went to Pink's hot Dogs. He was there.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
They were introducing the new hul Hauser hot Dog and
it's still there today. You can go get the hul
Houser hot Dog. It's two hot dogs in one bun.
I'm not bsing you. That is the Huelhuser hot Dog.
Two hot dogs in one bun. Hey, how come those
dogs are in one bun? I know it seems flat.
(14:05):
So I walk up to him. I go, hey, hil Houser, man,
I'm a huge fan of yours. My name's Tim Conways.
You're in this Dug Steck. We do a radio show
in town. He goes, I know who the f you are,
and he goes, I was also trained as a marine,
and I could choke both of you guys out right
here and kill both of you right here at Pinks.
(14:28):
And I thought he was kidding. I'm like, ah, heel howser,
you're great. And he says, you're going to get a
letter tomorrow from my lawyers, and we did. We got
a letter from his lawyers the very next day telling
us that if we ever did it, again, he would
sue us for everything we own, and much to Jack Silver,
the program director at kalis X, when he gets a
(14:50):
threatening letter like that, much to his credit, he said, guys, you.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Got to stop doing that. We'll get rid of everything
you've ever done on you house. You're never gonna mention
his name again.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I'm gonna send this letter back, You're gonna apologize on
the air, and we're never gonna have any contact with
him again.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Like, okay, thanks for fighting for us.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Jack loved it, so we never did it again, and
it sort of went away. And then I was very
sad when hul Houser passed away, and I sat on
a couple levels. One that I really enjoyed the show
California Go, and the second one was that I was
really sad that I upset him. He seemed like a
very nice man, always upbeat, always had very positive things
(15:38):
about saying about everybody, and that I upset him made
me upset. It made me sad that I did that
to him. I thought it was just in fun, and
he took it really personally and hated it. And I
would have never done that if I knew then, you know,
I thought it would you know, like radio idiots, like
you know.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Curser, you know who Kevin and ban are.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Okay, So Vin and Bean were on k Rock for many,
many years, and they used to always go on the
air saying that the Conway and Steckler Show is the
worst show on radio period. And they'd played clips of
the show and they took really really bad clips of
the show and played it like, look, this sucks. I
don't know what they're doing over there, and we ran
(16:19):
into They did it for like two years, and then
we ran into Kevin and Bean at the LA Convention
Center at Staples Center when they're gonna have the Democratic
National Convention. And I saw him. I saw Kevin and Bean,
and so I walked up to him where I was
the Steckler. I said, hey, you're Kevin and Bean. They said, yeah,
who are you guys? I said's Conway and steck He goes, oh, man,
(16:40):
we've been going after you guys for two years and
you never responded. You should have responded. It would have
been great, you know. And we then we talked for
like twenty minutes. I thought that was going to be
the same reaction that hul Hauser had, and it wasn't
not at all.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
He was very upset with it, very very angry.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So I never said that I created hot Dog Day.
I said, we just did hot Dog Day here on KFI. Well,
Petros and Money they didn't like that. They said they
created hot Dog Day. And if you look on if
you google, who created hot Dog Day? And did Petros
(17:20):
the Money create hot Dog Day? Both AI and Google
agree they did not and they have no rights to it.
But they wanted me to stop at iHeartMedia, and they
got a lawyer involved, and we come back, I'll play
the segment that they did and the letter from the
lawyer asking me to stop saying that I created hot
(17:41):
Dog Day, which if you go back through the tapes
of this show, I never once said that that I
created hot Dog Day. I said that Steph Fush missed
Hot Dog Day. I didn't say I created it. And
I knew something was wrong. When a guy, when a
radio guy misses hot dog it's bad. It's really bad.
(18:05):
He's either close to death or he died. And that
was the case with Steph Fush. He missed hot Dog
Day on the day of his accident. And when I
saw those hot dogs steaming out there with fresh cut onions,
mustard and relish, and I saw that there were extras.
When I left at seven o'clock, I said, oh, this
is bad.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
This is bad.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I think Steph Fusch died. I think, you know, because
he missed Hot Dog Day. The only way you miss
Hot Dog Day in radio, you died. And thank god
he didn't. Thank god he's alive. But we'll come back.
We'll play the segment the Petro's Money did on air
and the letter from the lawyer. By the way, he
(18:48):
refers the lawyer who put this all together is sweet James,
and he said, the true creators of this glorious sausage
slinging tradition are none other than the respected and honor
gentlemen the Petros and Money show herein referred to as
quote the true Wiener Lords of Los Angeles. Okay, well,
(19:13):
I guess that's their new name, right, So it's not
Petro some Money and Moore. I sort of enjoyed that name.
Now it's the true Wiener Lords of Los Angeles. All right,
we'll have to get used to that bellio to calm
the Wiener Lords.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yeah, we'll give them that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, but now that's I guess, unless I'm reading this wrong,
they want us to.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Herein referred to as the True Wiener Lords of Los Angeles.
So I don't know if they're going to change the billboards,
but that's the new name of the show, The Wiener Lords.
Petro some money's the Wiener Lords. I guess they approve that.
They gave me this letter, so they approve that name.
You can hear The Wiener Lords on five seventy AM.
(19:55):
They're on every afternoon right after Fred Rogan, Come the
Wier Lords.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We're live on KFI.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
KFI AM six forty. It is The Conway Show.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I'll play the segment that there's a show down the
Hall with Petros and Map the True Wiener Lords of
Los Angeles. And while I was on vacation, the Wiener
Lords had Sweet James on, and so it's about eight minutes.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I think we can play the whole thing if I
don't stop it.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
So let's roll The Wiener Lords interviewing Sweet James Bergner.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
It's time for justice with Sweet James, a long time
supporter of the Petros and Money Show. There's a reason
we have him on retainer. He's been on a little
hiatus with some traveling this summer, but he's on the
show we need him on today. This is a moment
(21:03):
of why we have Sweet James on retainer. Eight hundred
and nine million is the number, quite simply, the greatest
personal injury attorney that ever lived. It is Sweet James.
When he's not driving a monster truck across the desert
in Dubai, he's helping us with our problems. Eight hundred
and nine million, and you don't pay until you settle,
(21:25):
and they're open twenty four to seven, Sweet James, what's cracking?
Sweet James? How are you? Well?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
It's only fitting that the best personal injury is on
the best sports doc radio show.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
So yeah, how are you? Guys? Do?
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I love you? Guys?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
We love you, Sweet James, and we're doing okay there.
I know Kates might have given you a little reader's
digest version of the situation with the hot dog machine.
Now we know that your law firm. You know, there's
always people trying to be like you know, semi sweet
(21:58):
sal you know, or they to do like the baseball
the baseball style logo that you guys have used that
have been so popular over the years, the nine million
in the phone number. You know people have tried to
replicate that. So how involved do you get when somebody's
trying to bite your stop? Do you know what?
Speaker 5 (22:20):
I don't look backwards.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
We're looking forward where it is going to better ourselves.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
I'm not going to pete against anybody, but we were yesterday,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
So you know what.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
They come and they go, so, hey.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
I don't care, but that's not our position. Yeah, we
definitely we hold a bludge forever. Okay, so that may
be your position, Okay, we constantly look back all James.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Here's the moment here we are. The past keeps me
up at night every single night, tossing and turning. Seriously,
uh so this is the moment in the pitch meeting
where I step back and Matt steps forward.
Speaker 9 (22:57):
Here, here is what we are seeking. This is the
this is the legal advice we are seeking. Sweet James.
We came up with Hot Dog Day at iHeart Mat.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
We got a special stage. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm
a step back.
Speaker 9 (23:12):
It's a show thing Petrus in money show at a
hot dog steamer. We opened our studio to everybody on
the fourth floor. Even some people from the fifth floor
would come down. We would schedule one to two, maybe
three hot dog Days every year. It was a special event. Right,
We've been doing it for years. Tim Conway Junior reaches
(23:34):
out and we have a transcript. July twentieth, eight o
seven pm. Sorry to bug. Do you remember where you
got that hot dog steamer? I can't find it anywhere.
Thinking he's looking for one for his daughter's party at
the house or something like that, we send him the link.
He buys the exact same hot dog steamer we have.
(23:55):
He brings it into work. He starts doing Hot Dog
Day every Wednesday, and then he starts telling people he
invented hot Dog Day.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Oh boy, can wee him? He told Rick Chambers that
on chat. We have it on tape on Channel five.
I don't know if he said he invented it, but
he brings up hot Dog Day like it's his. Oh
you boys know that I love Tim Conway, Like, yeah,
we do. It's a problem.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
I love him. Yeah, do you know what I'll tell
you this? I love you guys way more.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, we got a case.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Here.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
We go. You'll send him, You'll send him a strongly
worded letter, a season desist. He can't tell people he
invented hot dog Day.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Tell many how many swear swear words?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
You want that letter? I mean, we wanted to be
We wanted to be professional. We wanted to be professional.
But he did say F you buddy to Matt. When
Matt went down there to confront him, he drops it bump,
He said, f you buddy. Okay, okay, so we've got
one F word in the letter.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Okay, we'll be good.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
This one a lot better than we thought it was
going to be. This is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
We thought we thought we've been Ray Kroc, you know,
in a lot of ways here like McDonald's, and you
know we're not. We don't want him to stop hot
dog Day, right, because we can't stop somebody from serving
hot no right at the station, right.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
That's all we want.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
Anytime he mentions hot dog Day, he has to say
as invented and created by the Petrosen Money Show.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Do we have him on? Uh? Do you we have
him on on Channel five talking like hot dog Days
his thing and being really swaggery with Rick Chambers the
foot soldier for Channel.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Time because they would just there'd be no doubt that
we would be doing an oh bit tonight had they
just driven past here he.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Comes in radio.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
If a guy misses hot dog Day, Uh, that's an emergency.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
It's big red flat see that. And you called it
hot dog Day.
Speaker 9 (26:09):
It's been hot dog Day on the Petro some Money
show for a half decade.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
They enjoyed our hot Dog Day before they created their own.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, no, that you have absolutely Uh that it's protected.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
That's copyrighted infringement. There there's no recognition.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yes, actually that you really have a case.
Speaker 9 (26:28):
Now we got to go for the big fish. We
got the little fish, Tim Conway. Now we got to
go for the big fish.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Okay, can we sue?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
iHeartRadio. We're gonna sue our employer. I'll sue anybody you want.
But you know, I love you guys, but you can't
have it.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
But this damages damaged, It lessens our credibility. Is the
creator of Hotdog Days?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Like is there like a clause where it's like, hey,
can I get some extra money on this lawsuit? Because
I look like a bitch for bringing it out? But
they forced it out of me. You know, I don't
like to be right, but this is hot Dog Day.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
This is what you guys, You guys in betteded, this
is your I.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Bet you, sweet James. Now I'm talking out of turn
as a legal guy here, but I bet you, sweet James,
that Conway will settle out of court just to avoid discovery.
People know what a douche is. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
hey now wait, money, I do this some some some
d bag in Cleveland's not going to be that's my thing.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
That was my wacky morning DJ skit.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
We don't know that Mary Potter.
Speaker 9 (27:35):
That we don't know, but we we we are willing
to limit the damages. The only damages that we want
paid are acknowledging in the Los Angeles radio market that
anybody that does Hot Dog Day has to acknowledge as
created by the Petros and Money show. That's that's all
we're looking for in the Los Angeles radio market.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Only that's spair, that's sir.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
And hey, how about he washes your car like four
times done?
Speaker 9 (28:00):
We had that on that done and he can keep
making the hot dogs. He's just gotta make this. I
gotta make the statement.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Tim Kates. Created by Tim Kates is offered to deliver
the letters, so if you could email it to him, uh,
at your convenience, of course, Sweet James. I don't think
like this is a problem that's gonna go away anytime soon.
So we'll have that letter out later tonight.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
I'll have that.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
In the game. There's nobody, Sweet James.
Speaker 9 (28:33):
He's got serve bathroom too. He's going to be going
to the bathroom out of his studio, going to drop
that right over the stall.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
All right, So that was the is a bike on
he potted up? It's pot up?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
It's not potted up your No, you're up. It's not
potted up. Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
It is.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Can you hear men for some reason with its unplugged.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Welcome back? What an idiot?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Huh yeah, all right, Uh no it's not. How How
long could I have argued that.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
You were you selling?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
You were dug in, like until seven o'clock and then
Brian comes in and goes, buddy, you got it? You
what's going on with me? All right, I'll read the letter.
I got a strongly worded letter from Sweet James. And
I've not chosen my lawyers yet, but I think I'm
a lawyer up as well. I think I'm gonna get
(29:38):
I heard that Malibu Dan went to drive by a
law school, but use him.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Law school.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
He never went inside. I think he uh, you know,
he drove by it once. All right, relyve on CAF.
I am six forty. It is the Conway Show. I
got a strongly worded letter from James and I think
it's sort of half kidding, you know, half joking. But
then at the bottom it says, seriously, you have to
stop using Hot Dog Day on KFI.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So here's the letter. If you're just tuning in.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
The guys down the hall, the Wiener Lords said that
they created The Wiener Lords created hot Dog Day, and
I never said I created it, but they think I did,
and they think I I sort of lifted it from them,
which I didn't. I just never mentioned that. I you
know that the Wiener Lords also do the same thing,
(30:36):
and I guess I should have. All right, hey, you
know we're having hot dogs. But it's the Wiener Lords
that really started this. So here's the letter. Mister tim
Weeny Jacker Conway come to our detention via numerous falls
(30:56):
on air proclamations, half truth and ball park grade lies
that you have been parroting or parading around town claiming
that you're the originator of Hot Dog Day, which is
simply not true. Never once said that. Let us be clear,
you are not. But if you do google who created
(31:19):
hot Dog Day, it is not the Wiener Lords.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
It is not.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
On klac's afternoon show, the Wiener Lords.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It's just not.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
The two creators of this glorious sausage slinging tradition are
none other than the respected and honorable gentleman of the
Petros and Money Show. Herein referred to as the True
Wiener Lords of Los Angeles. And I don't know why
they're changing the name. I used to like pet PMS,
(31:51):
Petros and Money, but they, I guess it says herein
referred to as the true Wiener Lords of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
All right, I could do that. I could make that
that leap.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
They marinated this idea, grilled to perfection, and fed it
to the masses long before you squirted your first packet
of mustard.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
You continued.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Your continued misappropriation of this cultural institution constitutes flagrant condiment
piracy and not to mention, emotional ketchup spillage.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
It must stop immediately.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
And again this whole thing is is sort of a joke,
but the bottom it says, seriously, you have to stop
using hunt talk there so I think it might there
might be some serious.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Tone to this.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
And now to top and now on top of stealing
their Meati legacy, we hear that you told Matt money
Smith to f off.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Tim.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
That's not how we share the grill. Brother at City wrote,
that's actually pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
I did Matt.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Matt accused me four or five times of stealing Hot
Dog Day, and I finally said, buddy, f off f off,
and and he sort of did for a little while.
According Accordingly, you are hereby ordered to cease and desist
all false claims, references, or suggestion or suggestive nods that
(33:22):
you I birthed Hot Dog Day from your own loins.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
You didn't.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
You're stealing hot dog valor and you know it. We
demand within five business days they retract your claims publicly,
preferably while wearing a hot dog costume and admitting that
the Wiener Lords were first. You may use ketchup if
you must, but mustard is the law. You may continue
(33:49):
your store. You you may continue your stolen hot dog
Day tradition as long as you recognize and acknowledge to
each and every inch and every instance that the beautiful
lords at PMS created the majestic and noble event. Failure
to comply may result in further action, including but nonlimited
(34:09):
to public shaving being banned from future Hot Dog Days.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
And let's not find out because it's all bad.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
So we hope this matter is resolved without resorting to
any additional grilling. Sincerely, sweet relish James. And then at
the bottom, PS, Seriously, you have to stop using hot
Dog Day. It's the Wiener Lords, and so I haven't
decided what to do. We'll probably still use it, and
we'll probably then now take full credit for it. I mean,
(34:37):
that's my n Chirk reaction is to go the opposite way,
and that's probably what's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
So we're going to do it more often.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
We're going to say that we created it, and we're
not going to give any credit to the Wiener Lords.
That's probably the direction we're going. Is that what you thought, Bellio,
I'm with you, Conway'.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
You gotta double down, you gotta split tens in your life.
We're live on KFI AM six forty.
