Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's if I am six forty and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio Appy, but
six forty, it is the Conway Show. Hey, Adam Carolla
is coming on at five o'clock today. That'll be great.
But first we start with depressing news. We are not
treating the kids in this country the way they should
(00:22):
be treated. And we've had some more tragedy today. And
if you've been, if you've been following the news lately,
we had a thirteen year old that was killed at
a gas station last week and that was horrible. And
then remember the five year old boy that was dumped
thrown into a dumpster in Panorama City and that was
awfully depressing. And then that little kid, Emmanuel, Baby Emmanuel,
(00:48):
who we're gonna have some more news on him later.
I guess he was injured, probably by his parents allegedly
and died of his injuries. Was not kidnapped outside of
a Big five sporting goods. And then we have this
shooting in Minnesota, in Minneapolis, and man, we've got to
(01:10):
get this straight. We cannot treat these kids this way.
And Alex Stone is with us, Alex, I don't know
why it is. Maybe it's just natural. You know, you're
a parent. I'm a parent, but man, when you see
kids shot and killed, you think of how what the
parents are going through and then you quickly think of
how you would handle something like that, and there's just
(01:31):
no way that you could.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, absolutely, And you think of the teachers and what
they were doing in that moment and the first responders
going in and having to respond to that and deal
with that. It's horrible the fear that the children were
feeling in that moment. Yeah, but for.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
People just tuning in, how when did this all shake down?
And what do we know? What are the details?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yes, we know quite a bit now. I mean just
terrible morning of Minneapolis. So it was around eight thirty
this morning, that's when the nine on one calls started
coming in for Denunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, and the
last couple of days nationwide there have been a bunch
and it seems like there is one group behind them
of swating calls that have come in to schools and universities.
(02:14):
So right off the bat, it wasn't clear to police
or to anybody else who heard the calls coming in
if this was real or if this was just another
swatting call, because there have been so many. But very
quickly it was clear that this was real when police
got there and the shooter now id'd is Robin Westman,
(02:34):
although we know that Robin was Robert Westman until twenty twenty,
when Robert changed his name on his driver's license to Robin,
explaining the file that it said the applicant identifies as
a female. But Westman was wearing all black with a
rifle of shotgun and a pistol, and from outside of
(02:55):
the church shot through the stained glass windows and deliberately,
according to police, and in a targeted way, shot children
who were sitting in the pews and killed two of them,
an eight year old and a ten year old, and
injured many many more. Listened to Clarissa Garcia, little girl
who was in the church.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
And I heard something like really loud, like I thought
it was fireworks in the church, and and and then
then I saw the shooting. And then and I was like,
oh my gosh, I'm so scared. And so a teacher
lead me downstairs. She liked to like preschool classroom, and
so I went there and me and my friend Secy
(03:36):
were just praying, praying, and and then and and then
we went we went outside. We were just like waiting
there and then and then and then we went to
somebody's house to be safe.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
That child, yeah, it had just come out of it
and she looks like she was maybe ten years old
or so. Yeah, So the children were intentionally shot in
those pews. They were at a service to mark the
first week back to school. That's why they were in
this service. They were learning about the school year. It
was a service to come back. In Minneapolis's mayor today,
Jacob Fry, he said, look, you know, we know we're
(04:15):
gonna hear goodds and praises. These kids were literally praying
in that moment when they were shot.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Children are dead. They are families that have a deceased child.
You cannot put into wards gravity, the tragedy or the
absolute pain of this situation.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
The shooter had apparently barricaded the doors on that side
of the building so nobody could escape. There were a
couple of doors on that side that had two by
fours that had been somehow nailed or screwed in so
the doors wouldn't be able to open up. So they're
trying to piece all this together. Now the eight year
old and the ten year old were killed. Now the
(04:58):
numbers have gone up. Nineteen others were injured, sixteen of
them children, some are critically injured from the shooting. The
rest were adults in their eighties who were part of
this service. And the Westman shot herself himself, and police
are now looking through what the shooter left behind for
a motive, and there is some evidence. They're going through
(05:20):
the vehicle, but they're also looking through social media. We
know this morning that Westmen posted a video on YouTube
where Westmen can be seen flipping through pages of notes
and drawings about weapons and drawings showing the inside of
the church with the pews. This was not a spur
of the moment decision, not last minute, that these plans
(05:42):
had been laid out in drawings. The Westmen knew what
was going to unfold, and there were actually videos that
were set to post after this had already been carried out,
so it was planned out. But the chief tim saying
when they arrived that the officers just tried to save lives.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Police office in the Minneapolis Police Department immediately responded, entered
the church and attempted to provide first aid and rescue
some of the children that were hiding throughout the building.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And there were children hiding everywhere, and they were being
shielded by teachers and by older students.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
One more for you.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
The principal of the school had a message and talked
about those hero older students and the teachers.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
To any of our students and families and staff watching
right now, I love you. You're so brave and I'm
so sorry this happened to us today. Within seconds of
this situation beginning, our teachers were heroes.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Children were duck down.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Adults are protecting children, older children are protecting younger children.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
All over in the rooms.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
They were heading out, But flags were at half staff
at the White House tonight. The President ordered them lowered
nationwide today. And now they're trying to understand why. There
are rumors that west Men's mom had worked there, or
the Westman had attended there, the chiefs sanging tonight. They
have not confirmed that yet. They're trying to figure that out.
We know somewhere, one of our sources was telling us
somewhere in either the video or on Westman was a
(07:12):
sticker for a German band, which is popular with the
Columbine killers and Columbine sympathizers that is often seen at
these mass shootings, and especially school mass shootings, that still
the Columbine killers bring together, that is kind of the
rallying cry for these and.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
That that was seen in this shooting as well. That
is unbelievable. But man, you know, I is as tragic
as this is. I mean, this could have been forty
or fifty people killed. Well.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
The chief said that today and the mayor as well,
that there was a shotgun, a rifle and a pistol
and police got there very quickly. The teachers reacted very quickly.
There are a lot of kids who are shot and
who are injured tonight. And not to diminish the lives
of the eight year old and the ten year old
(08:05):
when I say only two were killed, but based on
all of those who were shot, and how many more
with what the shooter had could have been shot, this
is a testament to the quick response from police and
the shooter than killing themselves that as police were coming in, Yeah,
there could have been a lot more dead.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah, And I think that we all learned from it
was a vall day. We weren't that in Texas? Where
all were you know they waited outside for an hour
to go in. Yeah, and now none of these cops
want to be painted with that brush.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Well that and that was not the way it should
have been done ever since Columbine. And as we've covered
these so many times over the years, and we've seen
it in so many of the shootings where it's done right.
The training now since Columbine is you don't wait. Before
nineteen ninety nine and Columbine and in Littleton their training was,
well wait for the swat team, and the swat team
will go in right now. The training is grab and
(09:02):
we saw it in San Bernardino during the terror attack
there where you at a lieutenant who was going out
to lunch and ran in without body armor on. That
you go in, maybe you wait a moment to try
to get one or two guys with you. Sure, but
you go in and you don't wait. And today they
didn't wait and they went in. Uvaldi was a one off.
Should have never been that way. Yeah, I think you're right, buddy.
(09:23):
I appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And anytime something like this happens, man, every dad, every mom,
every grandmother, grandfather, they go home and they hug those
kids a little tighter. Yeah, I think you.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Know, when we hear those soundbites say they all remind
you of your own children, and it sounds like them talking.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
To you exactly. But I appreciate it. Man, you got it.
Thanks to night. Thanks Alex Stone from ABC News. If
there's any more updates on the health and the condition
of these poor kids who are just starting school and
sitting in church praying. They're doing everything right, these kids
everything right. Parents are doing everything right, and then this
(10:01):
giant a hole comes along, Robin Westman or Robert Westman
and just destroys life. You know, I don't get it.
I don't get it. And I guess there's also some
pictures a big guy, you know, anti government, I think
a Trump Peter as well, that was thrown in there.
(10:23):
The lot going on, man, unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
You got bunks and you are showing some meat today,
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You know, I don't normally wear shorts today or it works.
I know it's really unprofessional, but I was so effing
hot that I said I can't put on these jeans
and sweating jeans. I gotta get into shorts. So these
shorts literally, I mean it's like it's like the NBA
in nineteen sixty five. You know, they wear these short shorts.
(10:57):
You look good. I'm surprised. At hell, sec your legs are.
I appreciate that. Hey, I'll take it from anybody. You know,
what the hell what's going on with you? And we
got some news with the ports and what's going on.
Clight it to immigration, right, They're all over town and
they're still out there doing their thing. It's not as
largely visible as it was earlier this summer, but immigration
(11:21):
agents are still out there making bus There was an
incident recently in the Harbor area that was caught on video.
Now there are activists in this area who are trying
to monitor everything any federal agents does. Sure, they happened
to catch a car that they believe was full of
federal agents driving by and shouting something along the lines
(11:43):
of hey, ladies were off to do a kidnapping. Oh really.
And that video is.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
Unconfirmed to be federal agents, but it was significant enough
to catch the attention of City Councilman Tim mc oscar,
who represents that part of the city. He has brought
force this motion at La City Hall that would direct
the Port Police to be more involved in documenting what
these federal agents are up to. Take a list.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
They don't have enough going on item. It's a lot
going on. I sent some sound to Robin.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
If she's got it, you're gonna hear first the clip
from the video and then you'll hear some remarks from
Tim mc oscar.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
If we have that, here we go.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
This video taking yesterday's shows immigration enforcement officials, I suppose,
or somebody claiming to have the authority of the federal
government leaving the Coast Guard based on Termol Island as
members of the Peace Patrol Group, a group I've spoken
to about several times. We're monitoring their activity without documentation.
This just happens in the dark, in the shadows, and
(12:49):
that's what I think Trump wants to have happened. Driving
down the street like cowards and announcing we are going
out to conduct kidnappings is a criminal threat.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
The remark you heard on the video was allegedly these
agents saying a kidnapping, we will go. And what the
councilman is saying is like, look, the federal government has
yelled at us for saying these are kidnappings, and now
you have these purported federal agents out there saying that
is exactly what they are doing, and he believes it's
a criminal offense what they did. Now, is there any
confirmation that those guys are Feds and this actually happened,
(13:22):
Not even from the councilman himself when he spoke at
city Hall this week said that I believe that these
are federal agents who did this.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So there's been a lot of a dispute within.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
The city over who's who, A lot of concern about
folks who even show up saying, yeah, we are from
Border Patrol, but your face is covered and I don't
see your badge or any identifying materials. So there's a
lot of confusion about who's who in this ongoing immigration
action across southern California.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Michael Monks is with us every Saturday night from seven
to nine pm. I noticed there was a big boycott,
or at least tried to. They tried to organize the
boycott of Home Depot. And I thought to myself, I've
known I've been going to Home Depot for I don't know,
thirty forty years or so, and Home Depot was always
very lenient and very helpful in trying to get people
(14:11):
who are here illegally daytime jobs. By having a little
corner you can sign up and they can ensure you
and they give you a proper wage and everything, and
they really helped. I've hired people before from home depots,
parking lot in that sort of you know, that area
where it seems organized, you know, semi organized, and they've
been helping people for thirty or forty years trying to
(14:31):
get work, and then all of a sudden there was
a big backlash again. So you've hired day laborers. Yeah,
for what type of work? Well, you know, I basically
helping me, you know, to put pants on and short stuff.
So no I had you know, when you're doing like
stuff in the backyard, cutting trees down or whatever. But
if you go to home Depot and there's a section
(14:52):
there where you can pay you know, the insurance, you
can pay you know, the day rate on somebody and
hire somebody there. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 8 (14:59):
This is a a company that is well associated with
illegal immigration in this country because of the folks that
we often do see standing outside who are suspected of
and they never throw them off a little because look,
folks are showing up to buy supplies and also to
get it too. For one, right, you've also got the
workers who can put that lumber to good use exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
But in my opinion, Home Depot has always been the
friendliest corporation to people who are here illegally. Always.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
But this is such a strange political climate. Look at
what just happened to Cracker Barrel. They took a logo
change in the barrel. Yeah, I mean, they may never
eat at Cracker Barrel again after this. But I think
what you're talking about is a couple of weeks ago,
some immigration activists said we've had it with these raids
at Home Depot. Were boycotting Home Depot, right, and that
is what they called for. I don't know what the
(15:46):
economic impact of that was, if it was effective at all,
but their remarks were, this is a company that immigrant
labor turns to for their own supplies, and this company
has not said anything about the ongoing gration situation. But
on the other hand, what kind of company is coming
out one way or the other in this political climate. Yeah,
(16:07):
they don't want to make money.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, all right, let's go back real quickly to the
r B story here the cracker barrel. How popular is
cracker barrel in Kentucky?
Speaker 8 (16:16):
You know, in my home state, it's you know, it's
it's it builds on that country cooking, so it's very popular.
Like if you can't go to Mammal's and get the
authentic stuff, you can go down to Florence and hit.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
The cracker barrel. Have you been to a cracker barrel
many times? Yes? And what is the specialty there? Is
it breakfast? Is it home cooking? It is? You know
that this gets engravy like Denny's for people with money.
You've got a few more dollars than Denny's. I've never
actually enjoyed a Denny's.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
I hope they're not a sponsor, but I have enjoyed
cracker Barrel many times.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I wasn't all that weird about the logo. I think
logos are boring now, you know. But I thought it
was a very strange reaction. But Krozcher and I were
talking about this yesterday, that cracker Barrel's walls are littered
with craw that you couldn't sell at a yard.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
No, that's right, That's what I would have been concerned
about changing because you go in there expecting the old
country store feel.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
That is the ambiance.
Speaker 8 (17:09):
I don't know what their their market research tells them
about nineteen year olds and what they want in a
country store if they're dripping all that stuff off the wall.
But when I go in there, there better be the
peg game on the table, and there better be a
banjo hanging on the wall.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
But how quickly the Cracker Barrel must have, you know,
looked your old newspapers and said, hey, how did bud
Light you know, operate during one of their big boycotts.
They have stuck their head in the sand. Cracker Barrel said,
We're not going to do that. We're going to change
back immediately.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
It is amazing how fast a controversy can take off
these days, and how committed certain influential figures can be
to that bit to where they can bully Yeah, this
big corporation is going back to what they were.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It grows like a forest fire.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
I mean, But ultimately, how impacted would these folks lives
have been had that logo just changed, Like I mean,
you can dislike it zero, you know, but yeah, that's
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
But there I think it was the end of the world.
I know it is. It is wild the things that
we concentrate on. Yeah, it's stupid country monks. Thanks for
coming in Saturday seven to nine pm.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
I'll be back live after a couple Chargers games knocked
me off.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Oh is that right? I didn't know that. Yeah, that's okay.
You come in and do that show live. Yeah. I'm
a hard working man. I haven't wear pants unlike you. Excellent.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Adam cral is coming on at five o'clock or shortly
after five o'clock. That'd be cool. He's doing a show
on August thirty first, and he'll have we'll have some
more details about that and so that'll be a cool deal.
He's doing two shows, one at seven, the other one
at nine. The seven o'clock is sold out and the
other one is probably just a few tickets. Mom said, yes,
(18:52):
is your neighborhood spot for New York style? Didn't crust
pizza and comedy. It's in towards It should be a
lot of fun.
Speaker 10 (18:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Divorce, there's a new term out there called gray divorce.
I read an article about the rising rate of divorce
amongst couples who are fifty and older, a growing trend
in the United States and in Canada. Mexico hasn't chimed
in yet, so it's just in North America, United States,
and Canada. The article laid out some reasons why people
(19:23):
are splitting late in life, and I guess it's, you know,
a lot of financial freedom. Women have more money. They're
not sticking around, and they're putting on their CCMs, their
hockey skates and they're gone. They're splitting. And my experience,
when women in their forties or fifties leave, they usually
(19:48):
hook up with a guy who's exactly the opposite of
your dad. You know, your dad sits at home, he
works in the garage, He watched a lot of sports,
he drinks beer, he has his buddy's over. You know,
they wreck the place, they play cards. It's uh. And
he doesn't do anything. He doesn't dance, he doesn't go
(20:09):
on cruises, he doesn't play bridge, he doesn't go on
a couple of dates. He's just a guy. And then
the new guy comes in and he's a dancer, he's
a cruiser, and he also has a business that nobody
can really explain what he does. He's got like some
heavy equipment in a yard somewhere. He's somewhat in construction,
(20:32):
but there's no real, you know, proof that he's done anything.
And he's usually taller than your dad, usually better looking
than your dad, younger than your dad. He's got some
kind of older sports car that he does a lot
of work on himself. And and that's the new guy.
Speaker 11 (20:50):
Is he an influencer, No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Think he is. I think he's he's he's like, he's
usually a tall European guy. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (21:00):
Does he wear skinny jeans, he does.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah, he does. He also wears a sweater when it's
way too warm. One of those guys you know, he
goes to a he goes to the Hollywood Bowl with
your mom with a cardigan tied over around his waist
or around his neck, and mom seems to enjoy that
a little while.
Speaker 11 (21:18):
Does he wear a suit jacket with no shirt underneath.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yes, yes, he does that. He does that. And and
he's got a very fractured relationship with his kids, you know. Yeah,
And he's and he's he's always doing something around the house.
You know, he's trying to be helpful, but he can't really.
He doesn't really know how to do anything. But he's
not bad, you know. He's like a model. He's like
(21:42):
a new guy that will dance and cruise with you.
And that's what they like. They like those guys that
will dance with him. So divorce is becoming a big deal,
the gray divorce, the old great ladies. They're taken off
and I'm gonna go enjoy themselves again. Oh is this
on my end?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Here?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
The computers off, Robin? Or is that your end? Let's
try it again. Here we go, thing dog with you?
Speaker 11 (22:06):
Menopause, hot flashes, sleeplessness, but divorce.
Speaker 12 (22:10):
I think meno divorce?
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Is this idea that a lot of divorces are happening
because of menopause? Melissa McClure was, wait, what is that?
Is that possible idea that a lot of divorces are
happening because of menopause? I don't know, I don't know.
I think guys stick through that. I don't know. How
long does menopause last? Is that like a five year deal?
(22:33):
Seven year deal? Seven ten, seven?
Speaker 10 (22:36):
Ye, there's perry menopause that people can be in that
for years and then you go through the actual menopause.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Oh no, let's see is that kid? When does that
kick in?
Speaker 10 (22:48):
It varies for most people, most women, but usually in
your early fifties.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Can I ask you a personal question, Melli? Oh no, okay,
I we'll move on.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
We'll move Typically it says it typically lasts for several years.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
But I think what this meno divorce is all about
is because obviously menopause is when estrogen has depleted from
the body, and estrogen is what makes you put up
with a lot of stuff.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
So what you are depleted.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
Of that hormone, you're not as like nurturing and you're
not going to put up with as much, right.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And they're also blaming the empty nesters. You know, you
always had the confusion and the atmosphere and the energy
of having kids around, and now that's gone and you
got to talk to each other again.
Speaker 11 (23:34):
It's a richie just whispered in the back. So it's
like what she's going through right now?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, yeah, yep, yep, maybe maybe maybe, but great divorce.
Speaker 11 (23:41):
Melissa McLure was with her husband for fourteen years.
Speaker 12 (23:44):
I was so angry. I felt like I wanted to
burn the world down.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Oh, I bet a lot of guys like, oh, I
know this.
Speaker 12 (23:50):
Last I was so angry, I felt like I wanted
to burn the world down.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 12 (23:56):
I didn't recognize myself anymore, and therefore my husband didn't
know how to and on me as well.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
They've been separated for a year now.
Speaker 12 (24:03):
I'm having more clarity now in perimenopause.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah, and she's dancing cruising line, dancing guys, playing Bengo
with her guys. The second guy will do anything she wants.
Speaker 12 (24:13):
That I'm no longer willing to be a people pleaser.
I'm no longer willing to be a nurturer. And I
think perimenopause really great.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
By the way, does the new guy know this is
the new guy onto what you're not going to do anymore?
Speaker 12 (24:26):
That I'm no longer willing to be a people pleaser?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Wait what you go?
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Girl?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Wait a minute? What are you going to be a murderer?
Speaker 13 (24:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (24:35):
Yeah, people or murder. I don't know what's the next step.
I don't know what the next step is. You know,
if you're not a people please the what you can
do is wipe people out.
Speaker 12 (24:46):
No longer willing to be a nurturer.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Wait wait, but that that that's that's horses. You're not
willing to be a nurturer. You have to nurture people
your whole life, or animals.
Speaker 10 (24:57):
I don't think it goes away completely, but I think
it's like this over nurturing of people that don't deserve it.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Okay, well she didn't explain it that way, you know,
she just said she's out like BELLYO. You went through
something about a year ago where you said you're out
of the gift giving game.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
Oh yes, yes, yes there. It might have been a
symptom of perimenopause. Okay, I'll give you. I will say
that to perimenopause. It is a huge social media thing
like it's and I will also say it is gigantic
in my algorithm.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
It would have been algorithm in your house.
Speaker 13 (25:36):
No, no, no, It's like when you're on social media
that things okay, right, right, right right?
Speaker 10 (25:40):
Sorry, but why is it popping up in your algorithms.
Speaker 13 (25:45):
It's a kind of a combination of the things that
come into your purview and you look at and it
just kind of feeds on itself.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Do you have your own social media or do you
and gen have my own okay. Yeah. By the way,
I love how quickly you shut that down. You have
your own Yes, I do, Tim, I got my own yes, yes.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
And and Jens.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Jen's got a great attitude.
Speaker 13 (26:05):
We're always sending each other stuff back and forth about.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
It, bellyo, do you have your own social media or
is it you? And John?
Speaker 10 (26:12):
John is not on social media really, And I gotta
tell you, I love that.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
That is a real guy.
Speaker 11 (26:20):
Such respect for him for not being.
Speaker 13 (26:21):
On social God, right, I love that. Does he get
on you for it? I mean, like you like watch
TV and you're on your phone on social media?
Speaker 10 (26:29):
He had to learn when he's like, you're always on
your phone, and then I had to explain to him
it's also me working. It's also how I read the newspaper,
you know, like it used to be that would have
been acceptable.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
So he's starting to understand everything.
Speaker 13 (26:42):
All that come out just from hey, what are you
doing on your phone?
Speaker 10 (26:45):
It was a few times you're on your phone again.
You can't put your phone down. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
John is not somebody who's on his phone all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
So good for him.
Speaker 11 (26:52):
I'm on my phone.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, he's old school.
Speaker 11 (26:55):
I like that old school.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, he's not on anything Facebook or you know, instat nothing.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
I think he's joined Facebook, but he doesn't use it
at all.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
I love that guy. All keep the nurturing going. That's
a keeper. You don't give that out.
Speaker 12 (27:08):
You know.
Speaker 10 (27:09):
It's interesting how you're describing the second husband. It might
be just throwing this out there that if women are
acting more out of their masculine energy, that they're more
attracted to more of a masculine guy, feminine mane guy.
We're both both right, equal parts, sort of kind.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Of very strong of you.
Speaker 10 (27:35):
Well you don't have a woman, and that one one
glimpse into your feminine side when you said you had
a few feminine traits.
Speaker 11 (27:43):
Do you remember what you said on the video?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
No, I don't remember which one it was. It was
going to the bathroom, sitting down, sitting down, come on,
thank you.
Speaker 13 (27:54):
That's why there's a chair there, courtesy.
Speaker 11 (27:58):
A few feminine traits.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I sit down when I when I go to the bathroom.
But of course I I do number one. Number two.
I like standing. There's a sport to it.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yeah, there's a support to it.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, it's like, is this gonna make it?
Speaker 13 (28:16):
We've had some people in the building that tried.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
That and now if she's going through menopause, I'm not
cleaning that up.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
It's your boy, Richie. Thank you. There are five cracker
barrels in California. Five, there's one in came Rio. Been
there rialto Rockland, which I've never heard of. That before
Bakersfield and Victorville. I drove through Bakersfield on the way
(31:20):
home over the weekend from Oregon to California, and man,
is that city grown. They have their own airport there,
they got super busy wide freeways, they got malls and
casinos all over place, and it's huge. There are almost
a half million people that live in Bakersfield. I mean,
that's that's gigantic. It's really grown out there. Because people split,
(31:43):
they wanted a house, you know, and for a reasonable price,
and they went to Bakersfield. That's a huge community. I
couldn't believe it. Man, it really is exploded. But yeah,
there are five one, two, three four five cracker barrels
in California. And then after we'll talk about the controversy
that is cracker barrel. Adam Carolla is going to be
(32:05):
live at a location on August thirty first right here
in Torrance, California, and we'll talk to him about that.
We come back 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 iHeartRadio app.
It's if I am six forty and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio Appy, but
six forty, it is the Conway Show. Hey, Adam Carolla
is coming on at five o'clock today. That'll be great.
But first we start with depressing news. We are not
treating the kids in this country the way they should
(00:22):
be treated. And we've had some more tragedy today. And
if you've been, if you've been following the news lately,
we had a thirteen year old that was killed at
a gas station last week and that was horrible. And
then remember the five year old boy that was dumped
thrown into a dumpster in Panorama City and that was
awfully depressing. And then that little kid, Emmanuel, Baby Emmanuel,
(00:48):
who we're gonna have some more news on him later.
I guess he was injured, probably by his parents allegedly
and died of his injuries. Was not kidnapped outside of
a Big five sporting goods. And then we have this
shooting in Minnesota, in Minneapolis, and man, we've got to
(01:10):
get this straight. We cannot treat these kids this way.
And Alex Stone is with us, Alex, I don't know
why it is. Maybe it's just natural. You know, you're
a parent. I'm a parent, but man, when you see
kids shot and killed, you think of how what the
parents are going through and then you quickly think of
how you would handle something like that, and there's just
(01:31):
no way that you could.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, absolutely, And you think of the teachers and what
they were doing in that moment and the first responders
going in and having to respond to that and deal
with that. It's horrible the fear that the children were
feeling in that moment. Yeah, but for.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
People just tuning in, how when did this all shake down?
And what do we know? What are the details?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yes, we know quite a bit now. I mean just
terrible morning of Minneapolis. So it was around eight thirty
this morning, that's when the nine on one calls started
coming in for Denunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, and the
last couple of days nationwide there have been a bunch
and it seems like there is one group behind them
of swating calls that have come in to schools and universities.
(02:14):
So right off the bat, it wasn't clear to police
or to anybody else who heard the calls coming in
if this was real or if this was just another
swatting call, because there have been so many. But very
quickly it was clear that this was real when police
got there and the shooter now id'd is Robin Westman,
(02:34):
although we know that Robin was Robert Westman until twenty twenty,
when Robert changed his name on his driver's license to Robin,
explaining the file that it said the applicant identifies as
a female. But Westman was wearing all black with a
rifle of shotgun and a pistol, and from outside of
(02:55):
the church shot through the stained glass windows and deliberately,
according to police, and in a targeted way, shot children
who were sitting in the pews and killed two of them,
an eight year old and a ten year old, and
injured many many more. Listened to Clarissa Garcia, little girl
who was in the church.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
And I heard something like really loud, like I thought
it was fireworks in the church, and and and then
then I saw the shooting. And then and I was like,
oh my gosh, I'm so scared. And so a teacher
lead me downstairs. She liked to like preschool classroom, and
so I went there and me and my friend Secy
(03:36):
were just praying, praying, and and then and and then
we went we went outside. We were just like waiting
there and then and then and then we went to
somebody's house to be safe.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
That child, yeah, it had just come out of it
and she looks like she was maybe ten years old
or so. Yeah, So the children were intentionally shot in
those pews. They were at a service to mark the
first week back to school. That's why they were in
this service. They were learning about the school year. It
was a service to come back. In Minneapolis's mayor today,
Jacob Fry, he said, look, you know, we know we're
(04:15):
gonna hear goodds and praises. These kids were literally praying
in that moment when they were shot.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Children are dead. They are families that have a deceased child.
You cannot put into wards gravity, the tragedy or the
absolute pain of this situation.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
The shooter had apparently barricaded the doors on that side
of the building so nobody could escape. There were a
couple of doors on that side that had two by
fours that had been somehow nailed or screwed in so
the doors wouldn't be able to open up. So they're
trying to piece all this together. Now the eight year
old and the ten year old were killed. Now the
(04:58):
numbers have gone up. Nineteen others were injured, sixteen of
them children, some are critically injured from the shooting. The
rest were adults in their eighties who were part of
this service. And the Westman shot herself himself, and police
are now looking through what the shooter left behind for
a motive, and there is some evidence. They're going through
(05:20):
the vehicle, but they're also looking through social media. We
know this morning that Westmen posted a video on YouTube
where Westmen can be seen flipping through pages of notes
and drawings about weapons and drawings showing the inside of
the church with the pews. This was not a spur
of the moment decision, not last minute, that these plans
(05:42):
had been laid out in drawings. The Westmen knew what
was going to unfold, and there were actually videos that
were set to post after this had already been carried out,
so it was planned out. But the chief tim saying
when they arrived that the officers just tried to save lives.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Police office in the Minneapolis Police Department immediately responded, entered
the church and attempted to provide first aid and rescue
some of the children that were hiding throughout the building.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And there were children hiding everywhere, and they were being
shielded by teachers and by older students.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
One more for you.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
The principal of the school had a message and talked
about those hero older students and the teachers.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
To any of our students and families and staff watching
right now, I love you. You're so brave and I'm
so sorry this happened to us today. Within seconds of
this situation beginning, our teachers were heroes.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Children were duck down.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
Adults are protecting children, older children are protecting younger children.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
All over in the rooms.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
They were heading out, But flags were at half staff
at the White House tonight. The President ordered them lowered
nationwide today. And now they're trying to understand why. There
are rumors that west Men's mom had worked there, or
the Westman had attended there, the chiefs sanging tonight. They
have not confirmed that yet. They're trying to figure that out.
We know somewhere, one of our sources was telling us
somewhere in either the video or on Westman was a
(07:12):
sticker for a German band, which is popular with the
Columbine killers and Columbine sympathizers that is often seen at
these mass shootings, and especially school mass shootings, that still
the Columbine killers bring together, that is kind of the
rallying cry for these and.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
That that was seen in this shooting as well. That
is unbelievable. But man, you know, I is as tragic
as this is. I mean, this could have been forty
or fifty people killed. Well.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
The chief said that today and the mayor as well,
that there was a shotgun, a rifle and a pistol
and police got there very quickly. The teachers reacted very quickly.
There are a lot of kids who are shot and
who are injured tonight. And not to diminish the lives
of the eight year old and the ten year old
(08:05):
when I say only two were killed, but based on
all of those who were shot, and how many more
with what the shooter had could have been shot, this
is a testament to the quick response from police and
the shooter than killing themselves that as police were coming in, Yeah,
there could have been a lot more dead.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah, And I think that we all learned from it
was a vall day. We weren't that in Texas? Where
all were you know they waited outside for an hour
to go in. Yeah, and now none of these cops
want to be painted with that brush.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Well that and that was not the way it should
have been done ever since Columbine. And as we've covered
these so many times over the years, and we've seen
it in so many of the shootings where it's done right.
The training now since Columbine is you don't wait. Before
nineteen ninety nine and Columbine and in Littleton their training was,
well wait for the swat team, and the swat team
will go in right now. The training is grab and
(09:02):
we saw it in San Bernardino during the terror attack
there where you at a lieutenant who was going out
to lunch and ran in without body armor on. That
you go in, maybe you wait a moment to try
to get one or two guys with you. Sure, but
you go in and you don't wait. And today they
didn't wait and they went in. Uvaldi was a one off.
Should have never been that way. Yeah, I think you're right, buddy.
(09:23):
I appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And anytime something like this happens, man, every dad, every mom,
every grandmother, grandfather, they go home and they hug those
kids a little tighter. Yeah, I think you.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Know, when we hear those soundbites say they all remind
you of your own children, and it sounds like them talking.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
To you exactly. But I appreciate it. Man, you got it.
Thanks to night. Thanks Alex Stone from ABC News. If
there's any more updates on the health and the condition
of these poor kids who are just starting school and
sitting in church praying. They're doing everything right, these kids
everything right. Parents are doing everything right, and then this
(10:01):
giant a hole comes along, Robin Westman or Robert Westman
and just destroys life. You know, I don't get it.
I don't get it. And I guess there's also some
pictures a big guy, you know, anti government, I think
a Trump Peter as well, that was thrown in there.
(10:23):
The lot going on, man, unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
You got bunks and you are showing some meat today,
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You know, I don't normally wear shorts today or it works.
I know it's really unprofessional, but I was so effing
hot that I said I can't put on these jeans
and sweating jeans. I gotta get into shorts. So these
shorts literally, I mean it's like it's like the NBA
in nineteen sixty five. You know, they wear these short shorts.
(10:57):
You look good. I'm surprised. At hell, sec your legs are.
I appreciate that. Hey, I'll take it from anybody. You know,
what the hell what's going on with you? And we
got some news with the ports and what's going on.
Clight it to immigration, right, They're all over town and
they're still out there doing their thing. It's not as
largely visible as it was earlier this summer, but immigration
(11:21):
agents are still out there making bus There was an
incident recently in the Harbor area that was caught on video.
Now there are activists in this area who are trying
to monitor everything any federal agents does. Sure, they happened
to catch a car that they believe was full of
federal agents driving by and shouting something along the lines
(11:43):
of hey, ladies were off to do a kidnapping. Oh really.
And that video is.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
Unconfirmed to be federal agents, but it was significant enough
to catch the attention of City Councilman Tim mc oscar,
who represents that part of the city. He has brought
force this motion at La City Hall that would direct
the Port Police to be more involved in documenting what
these federal agents are up to. Take a list.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
They don't have enough going on item. It's a lot
going on. I sent some sound to Robin.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
If she's got it, you're gonna hear first the clip
from the video and then you'll hear some remarks from
Tim mc oscar.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
If we have that, here we go.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
This video taking yesterday's shows immigration enforcement officials, I suppose,
or somebody claiming to have the authority of the federal
government leaving the Coast Guard based on Termol Island as
members of the Peace Patrol Group, a group I've spoken
to about several times. We're monitoring their activity without documentation.
This just happens in the dark, in the shadows, and
(12:49):
that's what I think Trump wants to have happened. Driving
down the street like cowards and announcing we are going
out to conduct kidnappings is a criminal threat.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
The remark you heard on the video was allegedly these
agents saying a kidnapping, we will go. And what the
councilman is saying is like, look, the federal government has
yelled at us for saying these are kidnappings, and now
you have these purported federal agents out there saying that
is exactly what they are doing, and he believes it's
a criminal offense what they did. Now, is there any
confirmation that those guys are Feds and this actually happened,
(13:22):
Not even from the councilman himself when he spoke at
city Hall this week said that I believe that these
are federal agents who did this.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So there's been a lot of a dispute within.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
The city over who's who, A lot of concern about
folks who even show up saying, yeah, we are from
Border Patrol, but your face is covered and I don't
see your badge or any identifying materials. So there's a
lot of confusion about who's who in this ongoing immigration
action across southern California.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Michael Monks is with us every Saturday night from seven
to nine pm. I noticed there was a big boycott,
or at least tried to. They tried to organize the
boycott of Home Depot. And I thought to myself, I've
known I've been going to Home Depot for I don't know,
thirty forty years or so, and Home Depot was always
very lenient and very helpful in trying to get people
(14:11):
who are here illegally daytime jobs. By having a little
corner you can sign up and they can ensure you
and they give you a proper wage and everything, and
they really helped. I've hired people before from home depots,
parking lot in that sort of you know, that area
where it seems organized, you know, semi organized, and they've
been helping people for thirty or forty years trying to
(14:31):
get work, and then all of a sudden there was
a big backlash again. So you've hired day laborers. Yeah,
for what type of work? Well, you know, I basically
helping me, you know, to put pants on and short stuff.
So no I had you know, when you're doing like
stuff in the backyard, cutting trees down or whatever. But
if you go to home Depot and there's a section
(14:52):
there where you can pay you know, the insurance, you
can pay you know, the day rate on somebody and
hire somebody there. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 8 (14:59):
This is a a company that is well associated with
illegal immigration in this country because of the folks that
we often do see standing outside who are suspected of
and they never throw them off a little because look,
folks are showing up to buy supplies and also to
get it too. For one, right, you've also got the
workers who can put that lumber to good use exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
But in my opinion, Home Depot has always been the
friendliest corporation to people who are here illegally. Always.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
But this is such a strange political climate. Look at
what just happened to Cracker Barrel. They took a logo
change in the barrel. Yeah, I mean, they may never
eat at Cracker Barrel again after this. But I think
what you're talking about is a couple of weeks ago,
some immigration activists said we've had it with these raids
at Home Depot. Were boycotting Home Depot, right, and that
is what they called for. I don't know what the
(15:46):
economic impact of that was, if it was effective at all,
but their remarks were, this is a company that immigrant
labor turns to for their own supplies, and this company
has not said anything about the ongoing gration situation. But
on the other hand, what kind of company is coming
out one way or the other in this political climate. Yeah,
(16:07):
they don't want to make money.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, all right, let's go back real quickly to the
r B story here the cracker barrel. How popular is
cracker barrel in Kentucky?
Speaker 8 (16:16):
You know, in my home state, it's you know, it's
it's it builds on that country cooking, so it's very popular.
Like if you can't go to Mammal's and get the
authentic stuff, you can go down to Florence and hit.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
The cracker barrel. Have you been to a cracker barrel
many times? Yes? And what is the specialty there? Is
it breakfast? Is it home cooking? It is? You know
that this gets engravy like Denny's for people with money.
You've got a few more dollars than Denny's. I've never
actually enjoyed a Denny's.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
I hope they're not a sponsor, but I have enjoyed
cracker Barrel many times.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I wasn't all that weird about the logo. I think
logos are boring now, you know. But I thought it
was a very strange reaction. But Krozcher and I were
talking about this yesterday, that cracker Barrel's walls are littered
with craw that you couldn't sell at a yard.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
No, that's right, That's what I would have been concerned
about changing because you go in there expecting the old
country store feel.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
That is the ambiance.
Speaker 8 (17:09):
I don't know what their their market research tells them
about nineteen year olds and what they want in a
country store if they're dripping all that stuff off the wall.
But when I go in there, there better be the
peg game on the table, and there better be a
banjo hanging on the wall.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
But how quickly the Cracker Barrel must have, you know,
looked your old newspapers and said, hey, how did bud
Light you know, operate during one of their big boycotts.
They have stuck their head in the sand. Cracker Barrel said,
We're not going to do that. We're going to change
back immediately.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
It is amazing how fast a controversy can take off
these days, and how committed certain influential figures can be
to that bit to where they can bully Yeah, this
big corporation is going back to what they were.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It grows like a forest fire.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
I mean, But ultimately, how impacted would these folks lives
have been had that logo just changed, Like I mean,
you can dislike it zero, you know, but yeah, that's
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
But there I think it was the end of the world.
I know it is. It is wild the things that
we concentrate on. Yeah, it's stupid country monks. Thanks for
coming in Saturday seven to nine pm.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
I'll be back live after a couple Chargers games knocked
me off.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Oh is that right? I didn't know that. Yeah, that's okay.
You come in and do that show live. Yeah. I'm
a hard working man. I haven't wear pants unlike you. Excellent.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Adam cral is coming on at five o'clock or shortly
after five o'clock. That'd be cool. He's doing a show
on August thirty first, and he'll have we'll have some
more details about that and so that'll be a cool deal.
He's doing two shows, one at seven, the other one
at nine. The seven o'clock is sold out and the
other one is probably just a few tickets. Mom said, yes,
(18:52):
is your neighborhood spot for New York style? Didn't crust
pizza and comedy. It's in towards It should be a
lot of fun.
Speaker 10 (18:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Divorce, there's a new term out there called gray divorce.
I read an article about the rising rate of divorce
amongst couples who are fifty and older, a growing trend
in the United States and in Canada. Mexico hasn't chimed
in yet, so it's just in North America, United States,
and Canada. The article laid out some reasons why people
(19:23):
are splitting late in life, and I guess it's, you know,
a lot of financial freedom. Women have more money. They're
not sticking around, and they're putting on their CCMs, their
hockey skates and they're gone. They're splitting. And my experience,
when women in their forties or fifties leave, they usually
(19:48):
hook up with a guy who's exactly the opposite of
your dad. You know, your dad sits at home, he
works in the garage, He watched a lot of sports,
he drinks beer, he has his buddy's over. You know,
they wreck the place, they play cards. It's uh. And
he doesn't do anything. He doesn't dance, he doesn't go
(20:09):
on cruises, he doesn't play bridge, he doesn't go on
a couple of dates. He's just a guy. And then
the new guy comes in and he's a dancer, he's
a cruiser, and he also has a business that nobody
can really explain what he does. He's got like some
heavy equipment in a yard somewhere. He's somewhat in construction,
(20:32):
but there's no real, you know, proof that he's done anything.
And he's usually taller than your dad, usually better looking
than your dad, younger than your dad. He's got some
kind of older sports car that he does a lot
of work on himself. And and that's the new guy.
Speaker 11 (20:50):
Is he an influencer, No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Think he is. I think he's he's he's like, he's
usually a tall European guy. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (21:00):
Does he wear skinny jeans, he does.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah, he does. He also wears a sweater when it's
way too warm. One of those guys you know, he
goes to a he goes to the Hollywood Bowl with
your mom with a cardigan tied over around his waist
or around his neck, and mom seems to enjoy that
a little while.
Speaker 11 (21:18):
Does he wear a suit jacket with no shirt underneath.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yes, yes, he does that. He does that. And and
he's got a very fractured relationship with his kids, you know. Yeah,
And he's and he's he's always doing something around the house.
You know, he's trying to be helpful, but he can't really.
He doesn't really know how to do anything. But he's
not bad, you know. He's like a model. He's like
(21:42):
a new guy that will dance and cruise with you.
And that's what they like. They like those guys that
will dance with him. So divorce is becoming a big deal,
the gray divorce, the old great ladies. They're taken off
and I'm gonna go enjoy themselves again. Oh is this
on my end?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Here?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
The computers off, Robin? Or is that your end? Let's
try it again. Here we go, thing dog with you?
Speaker 11 (22:06):
Menopause, hot flashes, sleeplessness, but divorce.
Speaker 12 (22:10):
I think meno divorce?
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Is this idea that a lot of divorces are happening
because of menopause? Melissa McClure was, wait, what is that?
Is that possible idea that a lot of divorces are
happening because of menopause? I don't know, I don't know.
I think guys stick through that. I don't know. How
long does menopause last? Is that like a five year deal?
(22:33):
Seven year deal? Seven ten, seven?
Speaker 10 (22:36):
Ye, there's perry menopause that people can be in that
for years and then you go through the actual menopause.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Oh no, let's see is that kid? When does that
kick in?
Speaker 10 (22:48):
It varies for most people, most women, but usually in
your early fifties.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Can I ask you a personal question, Melli? Oh no, okay,
I we'll move on.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
We'll move Typically it says it typically lasts for several years.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
But I think what this meno divorce is all about
is because obviously menopause is when estrogen has depleted from
the body, and estrogen is what makes you put up
with a lot of stuff.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
So what you are depleted.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
Of that hormone, you're not as like nurturing and you're
not going to put up with as much, right.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And they're also blaming the empty nesters. You know, you
always had the confusion and the atmosphere and the energy
of having kids around, and now that's gone and you
got to talk to each other again.
Speaker 11 (23:34):
It's a richie just whispered in the back. So it's
like what she's going through right now?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, yeah, yep, yep, maybe maybe maybe, but great divorce.
Speaker 11 (23:41):
Melissa McLure was with her husband for fourteen years.
Speaker 12 (23:44):
I was so angry. I felt like I wanted to
burn the world down.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Oh, I bet a lot of guys like, oh, I
know this.
Speaker 12 (23:50):
Last I was so angry, I felt like I wanted
to burn the world down.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 12 (23:56):
I didn't recognize myself anymore, and therefore my husband didn't
know how to and on me as well.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
They've been separated for a year now.
Speaker 12 (24:03):
I'm having more clarity now in perimenopause.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah, and she's dancing cruising line, dancing guys, playing Bengo
with her guys. The second guy will do anything she wants.
Speaker 12 (24:13):
That I'm no longer willing to be a people pleaser.
I'm no longer willing to be a nurturer. And I
think perimenopause really great.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
By the way, does the new guy know this is
the new guy onto what you're not going to do anymore?
Speaker 12 (24:26):
That I'm no longer willing to be a people pleaser?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Wait what you go?
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Girl?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Wait a minute? What are you going to be a murderer?
Speaker 13 (24:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (24:35):
Yeah, people or murder. I don't know what's the next step.
I don't know what the next step is. You know,
if you're not a people please the what you can
do is wipe people out.
Speaker 12 (24:46):
No longer willing to be a nurturer.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Wait wait, but that that that's that's horses. You're not
willing to be a nurturer. You have to nurture people
your whole life, or animals.
Speaker 10 (24:57):
I don't think it goes away completely, but I think
it's like this over nurturing of people that don't deserve it.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Okay, well she didn't explain it that way, you know,
she just said she's out like BELLYO. You went through
something about a year ago where you said you're out
of the gift giving game.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
Oh yes, yes, yes there. It might have been a
symptom of perimenopause. Okay, I'll give you. I will say
that to perimenopause. It is a huge social media thing
like it's and I will also say it is gigantic
in my algorithm.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
It would have been algorithm in your house.
Speaker 13 (25:36):
No, no, no, It's like when you're on social media
that things okay, right, right, right right?
Speaker 10 (25:40):
Sorry, but why is it popping up in your algorithms.
Speaker 13 (25:45):
It's a kind of a combination of the things that
come into your purview and you look at and it
just kind of feeds on itself.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Do you have your own social media or do you
and gen have my own okay. Yeah. By the way,
I love how quickly you shut that down. You have
your own Yes, I do, Tim, I got my own yes, yes.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
And and Jens.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Jen's got a great attitude.
Speaker 13 (26:05):
We're always sending each other stuff back and forth about.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
It, bellyo, do you have your own social media or
is it you? And John?
Speaker 10 (26:12):
John is not on social media really, And I gotta
tell you, I love that.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
That is a real guy.
Speaker 11 (26:20):
Such respect for him for not being.
Speaker 13 (26:21):
On social God, right, I love that. Does he get
on you for it? I mean, like you like watch
TV and you're on your phone on social media?
Speaker 10 (26:29):
He had to learn when he's like, you're always on
your phone, and then I had to explain to him
it's also me working. It's also how I read the newspaper,
you know, like it used to be that would have
been acceptable.
Speaker 11 (26:39):
So he's starting to understand everything.
Speaker 13 (26:42):
All that come out just from hey, what are you
doing on your phone?
Speaker 10 (26:45):
It was a few times you're on your phone again.
You can't put your phone down. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
John is not somebody who's on his phone all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
So good for him.
Speaker 11 (26:52):
I'm on my phone.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, he's old school.
Speaker 11 (26:55):
I like that old school.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, he's not on anything Facebook or you know, instat nothing.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
I think he's joined Facebook, but he doesn't use it
at all.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
I love that guy. All keep the nurturing going. That's
a keeper. You don't give that out.
Speaker 12 (27:08):
You know.
Speaker 10 (27:09):
It's interesting how you're describing the second husband. It might
be just throwing this out there that if women are
acting more out of their masculine energy, that they're more
attracted to more of a masculine guy, feminine mane guy.
We're both both right, equal parts, sort of kind.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Of very strong of you.
Speaker 10 (27:35):
Well you don't have a woman, and that one one
glimpse into your feminine side when you said you had
a few feminine traits.
Speaker 11 (27:43):
Do you remember what you said on the video?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
No, I don't remember which one it was. It was
going to the bathroom, sitting down, sitting down, come on,
thank you.
Speaker 13 (27:54):
That's why there's a chair there, courtesy.
Speaker 11 (27:58):
A few feminine traits.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I sit down when I when I go to the bathroom.
But of course I I do number one. Number two.
I like standing. There's a sport to it.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yeah, there's a support to it.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, it's like, is this gonna make it?
Speaker 13 (28:16):
We've had some people in the building that tried.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
That and now if she's going through menopause, I'm not
cleaning that up.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf

Speaker 1 (28:31):

barrels in California. Five, there's one in came Rio. Been
there rialto Rockland, which I've never heard of. That before
Bakersfield and Victorville. I drove through Bakersfield on the way
(31:20):
home over the weekend from Oregon to California, and man,
is that city grown. They have their own airport there,
they got super busy wide freeways, they got malls and
casinos all over place, and it's huge. There are almost
a half million people that live in Bakersfield. I mean,
that's that's gigantic. It's really grown out there. Because people split,
(31:43):
they wanted a house, you know, and for a reasonable price,
and they went to Bakersfield. That's a huge community. I
couldn't believe it. Man, it really is exploded. But yeah,
there are five one, two, three four five cracker barrels
in California. And then after we'll talk about the controversy
that is cracker barrel. Adam Carolla is going to be
