Mark Thompson is back from his trip to Cartagena, Colombia, joking that it feels straight out of Narcos, as the show dives into drug lords and the DEA. The show hits the big local story: record-setting rain with 8 inches in Santa Barbara and another storm expected Thursday/Friday—just in time for the Yorba Linda remote.

Yeah? I mean I uh yes, it's no. I was
in two different places, one called baron Kiah, which is
the sort of resorting kind of town, I guess, uh,
and then uh, Cartagena, which is a little more of
a big city. And there you need to be kind
of smart about like you would with any big shitty
about where you go and like who you you know,
interact with type thing. Of course, I'm with Courtney, who's

Speaker 2 (03:18):
But beginning it was Columbia.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
All right, we have a we had a ton of rain,
We had some records set Mark. I know you're an
ex weather man, but I think once a weather man,
always a weather man.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Still have an ongoing interest, but I don't watch the
record books though I used to. Yeah, well, okay, I
get it. I'm watching for you, Yes, thank you, That's
why I'm here.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
They had a record amount they've never had three days
of rain in Santa Barbara like they did these past
three days they had they broke a record. I think
it was a fifty eight year record where there was
almost eight inches of rain in Santa Barbara. Wow, that's
a big deal. Yeah, you know for an area that
gets we get nothing.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, particularly with the history of Santa Barbara was flooded
and mud slides and all the things that have been
sort of attendant to that. Yeah, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
But anyway, so let's find out what's going on because
we got another storm coming and we have a remote
remote broadcast on Friday, and I've heard that they promised
us it won't be raining for that, but they can't
guarantee that.

that I don't I no longer want or have any
use for.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And it's like trophies or people gave me plaques over
the years and I'm and I put them all in
a box, and my wife said, what are you gonna
do with that? I said, We're gonna. I'm gonna auction
them all off. Sure at the at the pastathon with
no minimums. If somebody offers a penny and they and
that nobody else outbids them, they get it and they
go home with it.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I told you, I used to drive around town with
the plaque that was presented to Joe Montano. Uh. And
I don't know you have it because it was given
to my news director at Fox eleven, Jose Rios, And
he said to me in the middle of a meeting
with now and he said, hey, I've got this black
from it was the cops give it to Joe Montana.
I guess he never showed up or he didn't you know,
(07:31):
didn't make it or didn't want it or give it
to me. You want it, And I thought, all right,
I'll keep it. You got to take it and keep
it in the car. I never used it, but I
always liked the fact that I had it. So you're
right about the about your plaques being worth something to pay.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Well, I so, I I said to my my wife said,
why are you going to give with this big trophy
for winning like third place at a at the Huntington
Beach Parade for best float, which we had nothing to
do with. He just showed up and got on it,
you know the float people.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And she said, but you don't want this, And I said, okay.
I said, let's walk around the house and you show
me where you want me to put a trophy with
my name on it dedicated to me for best float.
Where in the house do you think this would work? Yeah,
let's start with the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Okay, how about the living room right next to the
picture my grandfather and my grandmother and your dad and
your mom.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
My dad's emmy. Yeah, how about a trophy right there?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Third place, not even first or second, third place in
a float contest in the Huntington Beach break That's wonderful
that we went to the bedroom. You want to hear
on my side of your side? Where do you think
it where it goes? And she goes, Yeah, you're right me,
which just kids, that's really funny. But you can't you
can't just give that to like a secondhand store, because
they would just throw it away.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Is not a perfect bathroom your mind.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I don't think it fits in the bathroom. There's no
where to put it in the bathroom, you know.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I literally one shelf and just its own thing.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, exactly as you say, hang a light on it.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
A single person that goes use that bathroom is going
to get a jiggle.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
That's very fun I have a statue in the bathroom
and in our like not guest bathroom. It's a toilet,
but it's a it's a guy taking a leak on
a fire hydrant.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
No, that's just I don't know where I got it,
but we got it right beside that. That's right.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, but there's no room, there's nothing huge. It's the
size of a fire hydrant.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Put it, put it. Put the trophy right over the
top of the fire hydrant.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I was saying, my using it as a doorstop, but
then I have all like professional you know doorstops.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Wow, you talk about me fireplaces? You have professional doorstop?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I installed them crow, Yeah, that was a big weekend
from home depot.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I installed them the ones where you click like in school,
where you click them down.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Oh yeah, you made your foot to unclick them. Yeah
that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
I thought you're talking about like some handmade weighted things.
Oh no, the door to stop it.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
No, these are you know, twenty for nineteen dollars, and
you have to install them yourself, and you don't install
them properly, and it hangs instead of hitting the floor,
he just hangs an inch off the floor.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
The best doorstop I ever saw was on a Thanksgiving
at Umberto Gatika's house. Don't know whom Berto Gatika is
he is, Well, you would know him because he was
the engineer, one of the engineer producers of We Are
the World. Oh is that right? Okay, So he's going
a bunch of Grammys and where are the Grammys? Tim doorstop?
They are holding doors open at his house. It's so crazy,
(10:27):
it's sick. It's what you hear. Having won so many
that that he uses him at doorstops.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, unbelievable. All right, I guess, all right, I gotta
take a break. Yeah, thank you, Okay, all right, the
fourteen and.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
They jump on our the super clicker in the ear
while I'm trying to tell I'm trying to tell the
Thanksgiving story, and you're clicking, how tear you. We're live
on cas Conaway Times.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from k f.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I Gonway Show.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Mark Thompson is in the house, sir, And I was
just telling Mark that my wife gets pissed at me
for a very good reason too, and I get pissed
at myself for doing this too. But I'd say ten
times in the last three years, maybe more, that I've
been cooking something at night.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
And I eat it, I.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Go to bed, wash the dish thro out, the dishwash whatever,
and then my wife wakes up the next day and
the gas stove is still on, the burners still on.
That's not low, extremely low. But it's dangerous though, Yeah,
it's really dangerous. And I did it at my father
in law's house. I was outside barbecuing right next to
his house, boiling corn, and I forgot. Everybody went to bed,
(11:51):
and the water all evaporated, and now the corn was
on fire, and that could have burned the house down
with you know, five or six people inside. It's horrible.
That's a but you think there'd be a kill switch
on it? Yeah, actually that's actually a really good idea.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Why isn't there? Yeah, after some time, there should be
some kind of shing.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
My TV goes off after two hours that nobody's watching.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, I think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I bet there is a kill switch out there where
it's just on expensive crap, you know, stuff that.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I see that we are not buying. Last night, it
was three a m. And I'm awakened by my darling Courtney,
who says that the switch what do you call the
plug outlet in the kitchen is making a sound like click,
sound like you don't worry that when the thing and
you push it back in because it's pop because of
the fuse, that kind of sound, and right.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
To gp it, right to a I said, right to
the internet to see what the problem is.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Well, I first said, it's fine, go back to sleep.
It's a it's supposed to do that. I'm supposed to
make that sense. No, no, no, it's making it over and
over and over again, and I said, honey, go back
to sleep. It's three am. Or jet lag from Columbia.
I don't did you get yesterday? We got home over
the weekend. Okay, you're still yeah, sure, yeah, So we
got home like Saturday. So I'm awakened again by her
(13:10):
like ten minutes later, and she goes, no, no, it's still happening.
It's making a pop pop pop sound. And I said, okay,
I said, let me get up. I go out there,
and sure enough, she's right, it's making a popping sound,
like as though it's tripping some kind of whatever that
is the circuit behind it whatever. I know nothing. I
thought of you, Conway, because you know all of this stuff.
(13:31):
And I and so I said, look, you know what,
it's fine, it's supposed to do that. I know it's
making that sound. And she goes to the internet and
the internet Internet says, if it's making that sound, you
need to take power off of that. You need to
turn the power off that's feeding that outlet. So I
(13:52):
go out to the panel. Do you know where the
panel is? I barely know where the panel is. This
is again where I thought of you and Krozier both
you could do this without thinking about it, and I'm
now trying to decipher at three point thirty in the morning,
exactly you know through the writing what is the appropriate
breaker to turn off. So I turn off a bunch
(14:12):
of them and I get back into bed and I said, Okay,
it's done. You're fine. We'll deal with this in the morning.
And then she and I can't really get to sleep
at this point. Ga no been up, but she won't
let it go. She's on the internet and she said, okay,
we need to start calling electricians. It says we need
to call electricians. I said, really, and then I go
(14:33):
to the internet and it's true, you need to call
an electrician if this is a repeated issue. But having
turned off the circuit breaker, you're probably in no danger.
So we start calling electricians, and fortunately in Los Angeles
because it's a big city. Twenty four to seven, just
one right after the other available twenty four to seven,
(14:53):
twenty four seven, twenty four to seven. Did you look
on the internet or yellow paper? We looked on the
internet and there they all are, and we just started
at the top. Twenty four to seven. We called the
next place twenty four to seven, next place twenty four
to seven and fifteen places were called and none of
them answered the phone, or could you actually reach an
(15:13):
electrician who is available? We've got no one available at
this hour. Well, this hour is within the twenty four
hours that you say you're there.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
It's not twenty four, it's twenty four straight hours exactly.
And you people should be up because they could charge
you double triple.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Quite absolutely, I would have, yeah, exactly so, but none
of them were up, and so we end up finally
reaching someone, but it wasn't until morning daybreak USA Repairs.
Steve at USA Repairs, and thank god for Steve. He
comes out and he said, Wow, your whole panel is fried.
He said, there's been a fire. And then he I look,
(15:50):
and I smell, and you can smell all the smoke
and stuff. There's been a fire in there. And he said,
and your subpanel is fried also, which is supposed to
what is that tim that's supposed to catch if the
front if the main panel gets overrun.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Buddy, I don't know who you think you're talking to,
he said, because of the power surge.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Clearly this is what happened.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
So sure enough, Oh so you had a power surge,
in the area. So the other homes were affected too,
right exactly, the other phone's homes were affected.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
And you don't have a power surge protector apparently, or
it wasn't sufficient or whatever, that's what he was saying.
So we had to replace the entire thing. The temperature
in the home now is like fifty nine. We're freezing.
We haven't slept. Thanks to Steve from the USA Repairs,
he came out, he cleared his schedule, he did, he
replaced it. It had another panel right there in the car
(16:38):
that we could in his truck, and so he did
all the work.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
All right, don't give me the price yet. Let's let's
save that for the next break.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Not to tell how much it cost me.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
It was.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
It was expensive, don't say how much it was. I
don't think so. I think he gave me. I think
he was fair. Okay, But I also don't want to go,
oh my god, I don't want to hear that, Oh man,
he saw you. I don't need that. I don't know
what the price was. I don't need that. I don't
need that. But the last thing I'll say is that
DWP who caused the problem to begin with. You know,
(17:09):
DWP with the City of Los Angeles. Yeah, I moved. Yeah,
they turned all the power, the power surge in the neighborhoods.
You say, all the power is off in the neighborhood
and will be for another twelve hours. No way, is
that right? It is fifty it's not even sixty degrees.
It was freezing last night. It is brutal, man, It's unacceptable,
(17:30):
it really is. And there was nobody out there working
on it at all. I'll give you a p guy
said that we're timed out. We got to go. So
there's like another shift. Guy, I got two questions for you. Okay, A.
How long do you think I've been on the radio
in LA thirty years?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Almost thirty years, you're right, Okay. How many years I
have been telling people not to move into the city
of LA because of the services?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I'm guessing almost thirty thirty years? Yeah, yeah, so that's
on you, Bob Yea. All right.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Conway Thompson, we're live just barely because of the city.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's Conway Mark Thompson's here. Let's get the weather in
us because we're expecting another storm and everyone's talking about
the weather still, everyone's talking about how cold it is
in southern California. I went outside last night around midnight,
and I thought we were in Mammoth. Yeah, it was
calt like. It was ten degrees outside. It's freezing in
(18:34):
the San Fernando Valley, freezing, all right? This is is
this Casey Montoya? I like that Casey Montoya at KTLA.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Unfortunately, with a more rain coming and the ground is
already so saturated, it's not going to take much Thursday
Friday for us to see some flooding and have some issues.
But the Max Doppler over the last forty five minutes,
a heavy show that's moving.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Over the Everyone has a different name for it, you know,
HD seven times, Yeah, exactly, HD, Max Dopplerer doing it dirty.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
And we continue to see spotty rain moving through parts
of West Los Angeles. Calabasas has seen some rain moving
through a little bit through the South Bay. But again
the light green that might you.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Know, they always did that in the news. I don't
know if that was a gimmick or not. Where they
take the news van out there that has the big
Doppler on it and like, hey, it's parked in Chatsworth, Like,
who cares where it's part that feels gimmicky. Yeah, just
give me the weather. I don't care where you parked it.
You know, hey it's at Rby's and chats.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
You know, I was in weather pretty heavy. They Doppler
was something that came out of the military, is that
right operator. In fact, I was working in Colorado at
the time that the military was developing for residential not
residential for business use, like for media use. Anyway, the
idea was we always just took the tap from the
doppler that was the you know, the main national weather
(19:53):
service doppler. So getting your own doppler became That was
kind of a watershed moment in lot bal news. So
everybody would go, that's why that we have our own doppler,
Doppler seven thousand, and then we got we got we
had a Doppler ten thousand.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Well, I remember ABC used to call theres the Doppler
two thousand, like in nineteen ninety one, and then we
went to the year two thousand, like, oh, this sounds outdated,
so they went to seven thousand. Now, nobody will be
alive when it we got a year seven thousand, everyone
will be dead.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
But is it accurate. It's pretty accurate. Yeah. I mean
what the thing that Doppler does is it gives you
sort of signatures of what's happening inside a bunch of
precipitation echoes that you wouldn't have with just the basic radar.
Like basic radars just bounces back, gives you a rough idea,
but Doppler gives you sort of a vertical profile of
(20:42):
what the this stuff looks like. It's actually it is
a powerful weather tool.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I think it is accurate as far as uh, I'm concerned,
but I don't know, you know, technically if it is.
But man, it can tell you when storms are coming
in twenty minutes or so you be prepared for.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I mean, it's great on winding velocity as they say,
just kind of the vertical profile of it as opposed
to just where it's raining right now.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
To find out what's going on Thursday and Friday. We
have a remote coming up Friday.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Hope it doesn't rain a little bit through the South Bay.
But again the light green that might not all be
making its way to the ground, so a little bit
of scattered showers just through parts of Orange County, South
Orange County as well.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You know, by the way, it was Casey Montoya that
was screaming about the Santa Anna Wins a week before
they arrived on January. Yeah, she said, this is going
to be a hurricane in Los Angeles. And she was
doing that four days before it happened, and or five days.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I mean, that was one of the scandalous things about
Mayor Bass not being here because it wasn't just her,
it was I mean you could see it, you know,
in every single computer model. It was going to be
an immense event. Yeah, and then what happened, No water
and no mare, and yeah, the Mayor's not around, like
I might to cancel that trip. I don't know, Yeah,
but I think she should have.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Of course, winter weather advisory this is an effect until
ten o'clock tonight, includes the San Bernardino County Mountains and
Northern Mountains, also the eastern St. Gabriel's. The roads are
really slick, and again we're expecting a couple more inches
of rain.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I think that Casey Montoya is very active in getting
a dog's in that's adopted too, which is very cool.
She's been on the show before talking about getting a dog.
She's a good good egg. That's right, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Oh, snow up there fifty eight right now in Ontario,
sixty one in Santa Anna thirty four and Big Bear
fifty one degrees in Palmdale.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Temperatures today thirty four and Big Bears freezing.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
A little bit cooler than yesterday. Our air quality we
love to see all green on here. So for the
third day it is good for everyone. So looking at
the next couple of days again, scattered showers, foreshore possibility
and maybe even a thunderstorm today, snow levels in the
fifty five hundred foot range where we could see another
inch of accumulation. But notice how we do just see
these little scattered cells moving through for the rest of
(22:51):
the afternoon in city evening. Most of us will stay
dry on Wednesday, all right.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Give me Friday got remote.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Partly cloudy skies out coverage is not showing up on here,
but we should see part with bo these guys, and
then Thursday will start off dry. This model is showing us,
wait what you say, and then Thursday will start off dry.
This mode is showing us that the next band of
rain moves in by Thursday afternoon and it will last
through the evening hours. You can see why those dark leans, yellows,
(23:19):
the oranges, even the reds, that this does have the
potential to.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Be that bad, a lot more intense. That's Thursday night.
It's not right. Well, let me see.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
And it looks like those snow levels will lower a
bit as well. So this is what we're expecting to
happen Thursday. That would linger into Friday, possibly into Saturday.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Oh montoya, I got I got hosed by this weather report.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
On Thursday, but only a thirty to lingering showers chance.
It's like, think of the way kind of Sunday was
supposed to be. It was like thirty forty chance and
it poured all day.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, that's right, So you're fording all over you.
Speaker 1 (24:00):

we'll be inside, right, I'll be inside. However, you guys

Speaker 2 (25:04):
I was gonna say, are you doing the White House.

selfish Don't have me over on Friday.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Don't let him down. Seriously, he's cheetering. Man.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
If you do let me down, I will go after
your Belinda for three hours a night for you.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
He will, I will try.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I will find all the bodies where all the bodies
are buried. He carries a grudge, and I will destroy
your Belinda for an entire year.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Godzilla. That's right, So don't do that to yourself.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
You're listening to Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Forty Conway show.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Mark Thompson is here in the house as the kids say,
all right, let's talk about holiday travel. There are going
to be a lot of people leaving Thursday or Friday
of this week and they're all going to smart and
final in yourble into first and then they're going on vacation.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
That's true. Tim as remote on Friday, that's right.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
So we booked it for the Friday before Thanksgiving week
and knowing that everyone's going to go to your Belinda
first and then go vacationing. Yeah, but holiday travel is
going to be huge this year. I don't know how
people have the money. Everyone says price are too high,
everyone's broke, everyone is complaining. Yet they're looking at a
(26:52):
record holiday season mark.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I didn't know. I didn't know that. I don't believe me.
You don't believe me, right, exactly, Okay, listen, I've then
listening to this.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Okay, they're only seeing a handful of cancelations this morning.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Compare that to.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Last week when we were talking about one thousand or more.
So airports are getting back to normal, just in the
nick of time. Really, the airlines expect to start getting
really busy as soon as Thursday. No crowd or concern
for disruptions will be stopping at least Summers from flying
to her family this Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
My first grandson was just born and I can't wait
to see him.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Wow, Triple A expects eighty two million.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I think that's a big deal for that lady. You know,
she's somebody and that grandkid. When you become a grandparent,
I think that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I agree.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
My first grandson was just born and I can't wait
to see him.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
That's a very special Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yes, it's like having your first kid born. Sure, I
mean that's that's your kid's kid. Sure, it's beautiful.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Triple A expects eighty two million to travel at least
fifty miles during the holiday week. That would be a
new record, even if some may opt to switch their
travel from flying to driving because of lingering uncertainty from
the shutdown travel troubles.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Thanksgiving is the super Bowl of all of the holidays.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
It is the single busiest holiday when it comes to travel,
and they're going to make it happen one way or
the other.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Okay, it's the super Bowl of traveling. And it's almost
all based on guilt.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
You feel guilty that you're not going to see mom
or dad or Grandma or Grandpa, and they feel guilty
they're not coming out here, and you don't want Graham
and Grandpa to be alone on Thanksgiving, so you'll go
to New York and deal with the traffic and the
snow and the prices just to sit down and with
your mom and dad at that dinner.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's all guilt. Yeah, there's a lot of it is.
There's definitely a guilt element if you don't go, or
there's just a sense of obligation, you're.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Right, but when you go, when you have to travel
for Thanksgiving. Let's say you're going to see you know
back you know, let's say ten years ago and you
were going to go travel for Thanksgiving to see your
mom and dad. Don't you regret that trip even three
weeks before it begins?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
You uh dread it? Yes, yes, but you don't regret it. Okay,
you dread it. That's a better term. You dread. You
dread the hassle.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Being on it on an airplane that's full, of course,
there's no other I mean, the airport's full, the parking
lots are full as cold as hell, and probably in December, yes,
or in late November December check check. And then if
you don't stay with your mom and dad, they get
sort of offended by that. But you don't want to
stay there, and then you know, have to use the refrigerator,
(29:26):
and you don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
It's a lot, exactly, know, it's I think that's a
fair appraisal and summary.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
But when you go to let me ask you someone
you used to go to see mom and dad?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, do you knock on the door to go in
the house? The key I just got up, but I
didn't have a key, so I usually the door was opened,
but sometime I had to knock. Yeah. But it's funny though,
what you're describing. But the sort of I remember the
family dynamic. There are four kids, and you'd go and
my brother was the one who kind of pointed this out,
like it's just I don't want to you know, I
don't like so and so, and I don't like so
(29:58):
and so, and so and so and the other so
and so don't get along, and it's all just And
I think he's right about all those so and sos
and my attention. But I really feel this and I
used to text him about it. A moment happens and
you're thinking, oh my god, I'm so glad I'm here
for this moment. That's right. It's a little like bringing
up kids. You see them screaming, you said pain, you'll
(30:20):
get in the middle of the night. But there are
these magical, transcendent moments and go, oh my god, I
wouldn't trade having a child for anything.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
You're one hundred percent right, like when you have kids,
it's worth it because every seven years they do something cute.
Sometimes you wait, it's been five years coming around. My
(30:48):
brother had the greatest gift for people around the holidays,
he would give us subscriptions. You know, he'd buy those
what are they where they presented that publisher's clearance house.
So he'd buy me a prescription subscription, I should say
to uh Sports Illustrated. He'd buy my dad a subscription
(31:09):
to the Racing Form. He'd buy my sister a subscription
to Travel magazine, and my other brother a Golf Digest,
uh subscription.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
And it was just the one.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
The other ones never showed up. He said, here's the
Sports Illustrated. What is this a year subscription? That's a
that's a wrap.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Wow. They never showed up. Well, it's the thought, Tim thought.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
And then one year my brother gave everybody frozen TV
dinners for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
And it wasn't a joke. Wow. He bought him at.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Seven to eleven, and he wrapped him. He brought him aver,
he put him in the freezer and go, hey, here
you go, come on.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I'm not he was. It was very sweet of him
to do. But something happened that year or something somethent wrong.
But that sending you a message.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
But the subscription was great because everybody in the house
knew this was a one off, right, It's just the
magazine you have in your hand for two ninety five.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
That's many from counseling on the gift giving, that's all.
Seems like a nice kid, though he is a very
beautiful kid. He will give you his last dime. One
of the biggest hearts in the world. And I'm not
talking to physical ailment. I'm just talking how kind you.

a big city. And there you need to be kind
of smart about like you would with any big shitty
about where you go and like who you you know,
interact with type thing. Of course, I'm with Courtney, who's

his hotel. He owns a hotel, and so that was
your Wow, I got comped. Oh is that right? Yeah,
pretty exciting. And that was a resort style hotel, like
(01:34):
from the twenties or thirties.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
You know when when I when I think of Columbia,
I think of Cartagena, you know, the capitol and they,

it was a fifty eight year record where there was
almost eight inches of rain in Santa Barbara. Wow, that's
a big deal. Yeah, you know for an area that

Is not a perfect bathroom your mind.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:44):

where to put it in the bathroom, you know.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I literally one shelf and just its own thing.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, exactly as you say, hang a light on it.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
A single person that goes use that bathroom is going
to get a jiggle.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
That's very fun I have a statue in the bathroom
and in our like not guest bathroom. It's a toilet,
but it's a it's a guy taking a leak on
a fire hydrant.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
No, that's just I don't know where I got it,
but we got it right beside that. That's right.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, but there's no room, there's nothing huge. It's the
size of a fire hydrant.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Put it, put it. Put the trophy right over the
top of the fire hydrant.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I was saying, my using it as a doorstop, but
then I have all like professional you know doorstops.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Wow, you talk about me fireplaces? You have professional doorstop?

where you click them down.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Oh yeah, you made your foot to unclick them. Yeah

Oh no, the door to stop it.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
No, these are you know, twenty for nineteen dollars, and
you have to install them yourself, and you don't install
them properly, and it hangs instead of hitting the floor,
he just hangs an inch off the floor.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
The best doorstop I ever saw was on a Thanksgiving
at Umberto Gatika's house. Don't know whom Berto Gatika is
he is, Well, you would know him because he was
the engineer, one of the engineer producers of We Are
the World. Oh is that right? Okay, So he's going

They are holding doors open at his house. It's so crazy,

Speaker 2 (10:59):
I Gonway Show.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Mark Thompson is in the house, sir, And I was
just telling Mark that my wife gets pissed at me
for a very good reason too, and I get pissed
at myself for doing this too. But I'd say ten
times in the last three years, maybe more, that I've
been cooking something at night.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
And I eat it, I.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Go to bed, wash the dish thro out, the dishwash whatever,
and then my wife wakes up the next day and
the gas stove is still on, the burners still on.
That's not low, extremely low. But it's dangerous though, Yeah,
it's really dangerous. And I did it at my father
in law's house. I was outside barbecuing right next to
his house, boiling corn, and I forgot. Everybody went to bed,
(11:51):
and the water all evaporated, and now the corn was
on fire, and that could have burned the house down
with you know, five or six people inside. It's horrible.
That's a but you think there'd be a kill switch
on it? Yeah, actually that's actually a really good idea.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Why isn't there? Yeah, after some time, there should be
some kind of shing.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
My TV goes off after two hours that nobody's watching.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, I think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I bet there is a kill switch out there where
it's just on expensive crap, you know, stuff that.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I see that we are not buying. Last night, it
was three a m. And I'm awakened by my darling Courtney,
who says that the switch what do you call the
plug outlet in the kitchen is making a sound like click,
sound like you don't worry that when the thing and
you push it back in because it's pop because of
the fuse, that kind of sound, and right.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
To gp it, right to a I said, right to
the internet to see what the problem is.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Well, I first said, it's fine, go back to sleep.
It's a it's supposed to do that. I'm supposed to
make that sense. No, no, no, it's making it over and
over and over again, and I said, honey, go back
to sleep. It's three am. Or jet lag from Columbia.
I don't did you get yesterday? We got home over
the weekend. Okay, you're still yeah, sure, yeah, So we
got home like Saturday. So I'm awakened again by her
(13:10):
like ten minutes later, and she goes, no, no, it's still happening.
It's making a pop pop pop sound. And I said, okay,
I said, let me get up. I go out there,
and sure enough, she's right, it's making a popping sound,
like as though it's tripping some kind of whatever that
is the circuit behind it whatever. I know nothing. I
thought of you, Conway, because you know all of this stuff.
(13:31):
And I and so I said, look, you know what,
it's fine, it's supposed to do that. I know it's
making that sound. And she goes to the internet and
the internet Internet says, if it's making that sound, you
need to take power off of that. You need to
turn the power off that's feeding that outlet. So I
(13:52):
go out to the panel. Do you know where the
panel is? I barely know where the panel is. This
is again where I thought of you and Krozier both
you could do this without thinking about it, and I'm
now trying to decipher at three point thirty in the morning,
exactly you know through the writing what is the appropriate
breaker to turn off. So I turn off a bunch
(14:12):
of them and I get back into bed and I said, Okay,
it's done. You're fine. We'll deal with this in the morning.
And then she and I can't really get to sleep
at this point. Ga no been up, but she won't
let it go. She's on the internet and she said, okay,
we need to start calling electricians. It says we need
to call electricians. I said, really, and then I go
(14:33):
to the internet and it's true, you need to call
an electrician if this is a repeated issue. But having
turned off the circuit breaker, you're probably in no danger.
So we start calling electricians, and fortunately in Los Angeles
because it's a big city. Twenty four to seven, just
one right after the other available twenty four to seven,
(14:53):
twenty four seven, twenty four to seven. Did you look
on the internet or yellow paper? We looked on the
internet and there they all are, and we just started
at the top. Twenty four to seven. We called the
next place twenty four to seven, next place twenty four
to seven and fifteen places were called and none of
them answered the phone, or could you actually reach an
(15:13):
electrician who is available? We've got no one available at
this hour. Well, this hour is within the twenty four
hours that you say you're there.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
It's not twenty four, it's twenty four straight hours exactly.
And you people should be up because they could charge
you double triple.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Quite absolutely, I would have, yeah, exactly so, but none
of them were up, and so we end up finally
reaching someone, but it wasn't until morning daybreak USA Repairs.
Steve at USA Repairs, and thank god for Steve. He
comes out and he said, Wow, your whole panel is fried.
He said, there's been a fire. And then he I look,
(15:50):
and I smell, and you can smell all the smoke
and stuff. There's been a fire in there. And he said,
and your subpanel is fried also, which is supposed to
what is that tim that's supposed to catch if the
front if the main panel gets overrun.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Buddy, I don't know who you think you're talking to,
he said, because of the power surge.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Clearly this is what happened.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
So sure enough, Oh so you had a power surge,
in the area. So the other homes were affected too,
right exactly, the other phone's homes were affected.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
And you don't have a power surge protector apparently, or
it wasn't sufficient or whatever, that's what he was saying.
So we had to replace the entire thing. The temperature
in the home now is like fifty nine. We're freezing.
We haven't slept. Thanks to Steve from the USA Repairs,
he came out, he cleared his schedule, he did, he
replaced it. It had another panel right there in the car
(16:38):
that we could in his truck, and so he did
all the work.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
All right, don't give me the price yet. Let's let's
save that for the next break.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Not to tell how much it cost me.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
It was.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
It was expensive, don't say how much it was. I
don't think so. I think he gave me. I think
he was fair. Okay, But I also don't want to go,
oh my god, I don't want to hear that, Oh man,
he saw you. I don't need that. I don't know
what the price was. I don't need that. I don't
need that. But the last thing I'll say is that
DWP who caused the problem to begin with. You know,
(17:09):
DWP with the City of Los Angeles. Yeah, I moved. Yeah,
they turned all the power, the power surge in the neighborhoods.
You say, all the power is off in the neighborhood
and will be for another twelve hours. No way, is
that right? It is fifty it's not even sixty degrees.
It was freezing last night. It is brutal, man, It's unacceptable,
(17:30):
it really is. And there was nobody out there working
on it at all. I'll give you a p guy
said that we're timed out. We got to go. So
there's like another shift. Guy, I got two questions for you. Okay, A.
How long do you think I've been on the radio
in LA thirty years?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Almost thirty years, you're right, Okay. How many years I
have been telling people not to move into the city
of LA because of the services?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I'm guessing almost thirty thirty years? Yeah, yeah, so that's
on you, Bob Yea. All right.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Conway Thompson, we're live just barely because of the city.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's Conway Mark Thompson's here. Let's get the weather in
us because we're expecting another storm and everyone's talking about
the weather still, everyone's talking about how cold it is
in southern California. I went outside last night around midnight,
and I thought we were in Mammoth. Yeah, it was
calt like. It was ten degrees outside. It's freezing in
(18:34):
the San Fernando Valley, freezing, all right? This is is
this Casey Montoya? I like that Casey Montoya at KTLA.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Unfortunately, with a more rain coming and the ground is
already so saturated, it's not going to take much Thursday
Friday for us to see some flooding and have some issues.
But the Max Doppler over the last forty five minutes,
a heavy show that's moving.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Over the Everyone has a different name for it, you know,
HD seven times, Yeah, exactly, HD, Max Dopplerer doing it dirty.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
And we continue to see spotty rain moving through parts
of West Los Angeles. Calabasas has seen some rain moving
through a little bit through the South Bay. But again
the light green that might you.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Know, they always did that in the news. I don't
know if that was a gimmick or not. Where they
take the news van out there that has the big
Doppler on it and like, hey, it's parked in Chatsworth, Like,
who cares where it's part that feels gimmicky. Yeah, just
give me the weather. I don't care where you parked it.
You know, hey it's at Rby's and chats.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
You know, I was in weather pretty heavy. They Doppler
was something that came out of the military, is that
right operator. In fact, I was working in Colorado at
the time that the military was developing for residential not
residential for business use, like for media use. Anyway, the
idea was we always just took the tap from the
doppler that was the you know, the main national weather
(19:53):
service doppler. So getting your own doppler became That was
kind of a watershed moment in lot bal news. So
everybody would go, that's why that we have our own doppler,
Doppler seven thousand, and then we got we got we
had a Doppler ten thousand.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Well, I remember ABC used to call theres the Doppler
two thousand, like in nineteen ninety one, and then we
went to the year two thousand, like, oh, this sounds outdated,
so they went to seven thousand. Now, nobody will be
alive when it we got a year seven thousand, everyone
will be dead.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
But is it accurate. It's pretty accurate. Yeah. I mean
what the thing that Doppler does is it gives you
sort of signatures of what's happening inside a bunch of
precipitation echoes that you wouldn't have with just the basic radar.
Like basic radars just bounces back, gives you a rough idea,
but Doppler gives you sort of a vertical profile of
(20:42):
what the this stuff looks like. It's actually it is
a powerful weather tool.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I think it is accurate as far as uh, I'm concerned,
but I don't know, you know, technically if it is.
But man, it can tell you when storms are coming
in twenty minutes or so you be prepared for.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I mean, it's great on winding velocity as they say,
just kind of the vertical profile of it as opposed
to just where it's raining right now.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
To find out what's going on Thursday and Friday. We
have a remote coming up Friday.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Hope it doesn't rain a little bit through the South Bay.
But again the light green that might not all be
making its way to the ground, so a little bit
of scattered showers just through parts of Orange County, South
Orange County as well.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You know, by the way, it was Casey Montoya that
was screaming about the Santa Anna Wins a week before
they arrived on January. Yeah, she said, this is going
to be a hurricane in Los Angeles. And she was
doing that four days before it happened, and or five days.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I mean, that was one of the scandalous things about
Mayor Bass not being here because it wasn't just her,
it was I mean you could see it, you know,
in every single computer model. It was going to be
an immense event. Yeah, and then what happened, No water
and no mare, and yeah, the Mayor's not around, like
I might to cancel that trip. I don't know, Yeah,
but I think she should have.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Of course, winter weather advisory this is an effect until
ten o'clock tonight, includes the San Bernardino County Mountains and
Northern Mountains, also the eastern St. Gabriel's. The roads are
really slick, and again we're expecting a couple more inches
of rain.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I think that Casey Montoya is very active in getting
a dog's in that's adopted too, which is very cool.
She's been on the show before talking about getting a dog.
She's a good good egg. That's right, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Oh, snow up there fifty eight right now in Ontario,
sixty one in Santa Anna thirty four and Big Bear
fifty one degrees in Palmdale.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Temperatures today thirty four and Big Bears freezing.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
A little bit cooler than yesterday. Our air quality we
love to see all green on here. So for the
third day it is good for everyone. So looking at
the next couple of days again, scattered showers, foreshore possibility
and maybe even a thunderstorm today, snow levels in the
fifty five hundred foot range where we could see another
inch of accumulation. But notice how we do just see
these little scattered cells moving through for the rest of
(22:51):
the afternoon in city evening. Most of us will stay
dry on Wednesday, all right.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Give me Friday got remote.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Partly cloudy skies out coverage is not showing up on here,
but we should see part with bo these guys, and
then Thursday will start off dry. This model is showing us,
wait what you say, and then Thursday will start off dry.
This mode is showing us that the next band of
rain moves in by Thursday afternoon and it will last
through the evening hours. You can see why those dark leans, yellows,
(23:19):
the oranges, even the reds, that this does have the
potential to.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Be that bad, a lot more intense. That's Thursday night.
It's not right. Well, let me see.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
And it looks like those snow levels will lower a
bit as well. So this is what we're expecting to
happen Thursday. That would linger into Friday, possibly into Saturday.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Oh montoya, I got I got hosed by this weather report.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
On Thursday, but only a thirty to lingering showers chance.
It's like, think of the way kind of Sunday was
supposed to be. It was like thirty forty chance and
it poured all day.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, that's right, So you're fording all over you.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
We're gonna be out there anyway, even if it's raining. Sure,
we'll be inside, right, I'll be inside. However, you guys
are crozer. Let's go out to Michael Krozer in the
parking lot. No hard things out there, Crozer.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
No, it's kind of raining hard now, Tim, maybe it'd
be a good time for me to come in. No, no, no, no, no, Now,
we really need your eyes.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I'm in my car.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
We're still taking donations out there. Crows.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You gotta sit out there, Bob. Anyways, it's four to
eight pm. We'll be there Live and Smart and Final
in your Belinda two one five zero zero your Belinda
Boulevard right off the ninety one. The first two hundred
and fifty people at show up to get gift bags
from Smart and Final. Two hundred and fifty. Two hundred
and fifty people in the rain are coming out to
this thing.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Please, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Take the zero. There's a pen, think of the zero office.
First twenty five fans. Oh, oh, it was looking good
for a while.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Wrong, everybody.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I think we'll get a lot of people out there,
and I think a lot of people. It's gonna be
our last remote there for in Orange County for like
a week.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I was gonna say, are you doing the White House.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Kicks off for Pastathon?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, but I may not go to the White House,
so maybe the last time to to see me before.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You'll be at the White House. Probably will be all right,
it's Friday, for all right, Friday, you'll be out there
or you will all new remote Friday.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Now come on out, Please don't let me down. Don't
don't do this to me. He's got a lot of
selfish Don't have me over on Friday.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Don't let him down. Seriously, he's cheetering. Man.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
If you do let me down, I will go after
your Belinda for three hours a night for you.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
He will, I will try.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I will find all the bodies where all the bodies
are buried. He carries a grudge, and I will destroy
your Belinda for an entire year.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Godzilla. That's right, So don't do that to yourself.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
You're listening to Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Forty Conway show.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Mark Thompson is here in the house as the kids say,
all right, let's talk about holiday travel. There are going
to be a lot of people leaving Thursday or Friday
of this week and they're all going to smart and
final in yourble into first and then they're going on vacation.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
That's true. Tim as remote on Friday, that's right.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
So we booked it for the Friday before Thanksgiving week
and knowing that everyone's going to go to your Belinda
first and then go vacationing. Yeah, but holiday travel is
going to be huge this year. I don't know how
people have the money. Everyone says price are too high,
everyone's broke, everyone is complaining. Yet they're looking at a
(26:52):
record holiday season mark.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I didn't know. I didn't know that. I don't believe me.
You don't believe me, right, exactly, Okay, listen, I've then
listening to this.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Okay, they're only seeing a handful of cancelations this morning.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Compare that to.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
Last week when we were talking about one thousand or more.
So airports are getting back to normal, just in the
nick of time. Really, the airlines expect to start getting
really busy as soon as Thursday. No crowd or concern
for disruptions will be stopping at least Summers from flying
to her family this Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
My first grandson was just born and I can't wait
to see him.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Wow, Triple A expects eighty two million.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I think that's a big deal for that lady. You know,
she's somebody and that grandkid. When you become a grandparent,
I think that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I agree.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
My first grandson was just born and I can't wait
to see him.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
That's a very special Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yes, it's like having your first kid born. Sure, I
mean that's that's your kid's kid. Sure, it's beautiful.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Triple A expects eighty two million to travel at least
fifty miles during the holiday week. That would be a
new record, even if some may opt to switch their
travel from flying to driving because of lingering uncertainty from
the shutdown travel troubles.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Thanksgiving is the super Bowl of all of the holidays.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
It is the single busiest holiday when it comes to travel,
and they're going to make it happen one way or
the other.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Okay, it's the super Bowl of traveling. And it's almost
all based on guilt.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
You feel guilty that you're not going to see mom
or dad or Grandma or Grandpa, and they feel guilty
they're not coming out here, and you don't want Graham
and Grandpa to be alone on Thanksgiving, so you'll go
to New York and deal with the traffic and the
snow and the prices just to sit down and with
your mom and dad at that dinner.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's all guilt. Yeah, there's a lot of it is.
There's definitely a guilt element if you don't go, or
there's just a sense of obligation, you're.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Right, but when you go, when you have to travel
for Thanksgiving. Let's say you're going to see you know
back you know, let's say ten years ago and you
were going to go travel for Thanksgiving to see your
mom and dad. Don't you regret that trip even three
weeks before it begins?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
You uh dread it? Yes, yes, but you don't regret it. Okay,
you dread it. That's a better term. You dread. You
dread the hassle.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Being on it on an airplane that's full, of course,
there's no other I mean, the airport's full, the parking
lots are full as cold as hell, and probably in December, yes,
or in late November December check check. And then if
you don't stay with your mom and dad, they get
sort of offended by that. But you don't want to
stay there, and then you know, have to use the refrigerator,
(29:26):
and you don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
It's a lot, exactly, know, it's I think that's a
fair appraisal and summary.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
But when you go to let me ask you someone
you used to go to see mom and dad?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, do you knock on the door to go in
the house? The key I just got up, but I
didn't have a key, so I usually the door was opened,
but sometime I had to knock. Yeah. But it's funny though,
what you're describing. But the sort of I remember the
family dynamic. There are four kids, and you'd go and
my brother was the one who kind of pointed this out,
like it's just I don't want to you know, I
don't like so and so, and I don't like so
(29:58):
and so, and so and so and the other so
and so don't get along, and it's all just And
I think he's right about all those so and sos
and my attention. But I really feel this and I
used to text him about it. A moment happens and
you're thinking, oh my god, I'm so glad I'm here
for this moment. That's right. It's a little like bringing
up kids. You see them screaming, you said pain, you'll
(30:20):
get in the middle of the night. But there are
these magical, transcendent moments and go, oh my god, I
wouldn't trade having a child for anything.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
You're one hundred percent right, like when you have kids,
it's worth it because every seven years they do something cute.
Sometimes you wait, it's been five years coming around. My
(30:48):
brother had the greatest gift for people around the holidays,
he would give us subscriptions. You know, he'd buy those
what are they where they presented that publisher's clearance house.
So he'd buy me a prescription subscription, I should say
to uh Sports Illustrated. He'd buy my dad a subscription
(31:09):
to the Racing Form. He'd buy my sister a subscription
to Travel magazine, and my other brother a Golf Digest,
uh subscription.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
And it was just the one.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
The other ones never showed up. He said, here's the
Sports Illustrated. What is this a year subscription? That's a
that's a wrap.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Wow. They never showed up. Well, it's the thought, Tim thought.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
And then one year my brother gave everybody frozen TV
dinners for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
And it wasn't a joke. Wow. He bought him at.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Seven to eleven, and he wrapped him. He brought him aver,
he put him in the freezer and go, hey, here
you go, come on.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I'm not he was. It was very sweet of him
to do. But something happened that year or something somethent wrong.
But that sending you a message.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
But the subscription was great because everybody in the house
knew this was a one off, right, It's just the
magazine you have in your hand for two ninety five.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
That's many from counseling on the gift giving, that's all.
Seems like a nice kid, though he is a very
beautiful kid. He will give you his last dime. One
of the biggest hearts in the world. And I'm not
talking to physical ailment. I'm just talking how kind you.

Stuff You Should Know
If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.
Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
