Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I took last week off and then I got you
got to catch up on all the crap that you
didn't do while you're off for the week. And so
I've got a lot going on. I can't tell you
really on the air, but I'm being sued by Petros
and Money. You know, that's kind of odd, having to
deal with depositions and you know those two. Yeah, and
(01:43):
and then it's remarkable how how Management is Buildings have
taken the side of Petros and Money.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
You know, I didn't hear about that. Oh yeah, what
did they say something to you?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, that you know, you should come up with your
own bits, you know, you don't steal bits from other people. Yeah,
I think they were talking to me. Maybe they're talking
to Gary Shannon.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Do we need sweet James.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Angel, text me something, Angel, What did you text me
about huel Hauser?
Speaker 6 (02:15):
I said that Carrie and Shannon are totally riding your
heel houser bit.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Well, what'd they say?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
What they do?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
I don't know. It was just going on and on
about Heughelhuser and Pickles.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Okay, well, I guess you know, we could talk about it.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I don't know, not heel Houser, but if they were
making you know, a sexual poring out of his audio,
that would be something else. But anyway, so I'm dealing
with that the Petro some money, uh hot dog lawsuit
that's been draining. I change dentists, and so you get
to know the whole new crew at my new dentist's office.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
And you know, when you when you start with a
new dentist.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You try to go sixty forty, you know, with the
new guy or the new gal. And I think I
hit those marks, you know, I think I hit sixty forty,
which which is probably pretty solid for a new patient.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Can you explain what that means? Oh, sixty forty, Yeah,
going sixty forty with your new dentist. We are all confused.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I thought that was pretty well known in the dental world.
When you start a new dentist, you you try to
be truth worthy and tell the truth at least forty percent.
You know, when's the last time you had him clean?
When's you did the last time you had a next ray.
Do you grind your teeth, you use a mouthguard and
you and you sort of get you want to go.
(03:44):
You want to get around fifty to fifty, but I
go sixty forty. So sixty sixty percent probably be as
forty percent truth, you know. And I like to live
in the sixty forty That's where I mean, that's where
I live.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
But this, this new doctor is great.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
And I'm such a snob a hole that my dentist retired,
you know, he just he left the building and he's
going on to I don't know, get a boat and
a camper, and he went to Idaho or something, and
so I got I had to look for a new dentist.
And I hate asking people who their dentist is because
(04:23):
if I come up with a bad experience and they
recommended me, then that kind of hurts our friendship. Like
if I reckon belly, if you recommended a dentist to
me in Burbank and they ended up putting me under
and I was paralyzed, you know from the anesthesia that
I would I would see it would affect our relationship.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Yeah, how would I be responsible for that?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Because it was.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Your recommendation and I'm in a wheelchair. That's that's why.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
You know, Well, I got an idea. Maybe if you
with your sixty forty went forty and that sixty, that
wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, maybe that's right, Maybe that's possible.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
But anytime they say, you know, have you ever been
addicted to this or that, or you know, do your drink,
it's like no.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
No, no, no, no, no no no. I never had
any of that stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
But there's some really wild questions now, like when I
got when I got a life insurance policy when my
daughter was young, and they send a nurse out to
your house and do a blood draw and ask you
a bunch of questions.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And one of the questions was a male nurse came out.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I was living in Burbank off of Magnolia in Hollywood Way,
and this male nurse comes out and you ask me
how tall you?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
What do you weigh? Do you have cancer in your family?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
You know, do you as your brother or sister ever
had cancer, as anyone passed away early? You know, they
want to know if you're a risk, because they don't
want to take you on. If you're a risk, if
you need to die in two weeks. So one of
the questions and it startled me. You know, this is
twelve years ago. One of the questions was, hey, he says,
he says you have are you HIV positive? Of He goes, no,
(06:01):
he says you have AIDS? And I said, do you
have AIDS? Great comeback, didn't get the joke. No, and
he said what. I go, Well, if you're in my
house asking me if I got AIDS, Oh, I know
you got AIDS.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
And he's like, ah, man man.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
So he left and my my guy that set me
up with the with the life insurance guy said hey,
we're gonna have to start over to a new company.
They're not going to take you on as a as
a insured and I said, ah, okay. He goes, don't
ask the guy for the nurse that comes out if
(06:37):
you're HIV. If they are, I said, I'm sorry, it's
a knee jerk reaction, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I mean that guy says, you know you have AIDS?
Would you have AIDS? It was just my natural.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Reaction, didn't you You and your dad had the same doctor,
and yes, my dad did.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
My dad and I shared a doctor. And then I
found out a very good friend of mine a guy
named Mike had the same doctor for twenty five years.
We shared the same doctor. I never knew about it.
So the doctor is in Beverly Hills, great guy. I
think he still practices. And this is about ten years ago.
And I saw him for I don't know what it was,
you know, I don't know what could have been. And
(07:17):
he said, do you ever drink? And I said, just
look at me. You have to answer that asked that question.
It looks like I just looked like a bottle of gin.
And he says, how often you drink? I said, I
have a beer when I get home from work, and
then maybe on the weekends, you know, if I'm really
feeling it off of a beer in a shot. And
he said, well, why don't you be more like your dad?
(07:40):
I said, what is he like?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
He is?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Your dad has one beer every six months. I go, Okay,
two generations of conways bsing the same doctor.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Why do you think what is wrong with telling a
doctor the truth?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Because it at the moment it's happening, you are very
defensive over it.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
But isn't the point of going to him is to
prove it?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, but you ultimately don't want to be judged.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Well, he's not going to judge you.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
You don't think no, I think he does. So this
is how I found the new dentist. My my dentist retired,
and I found the new dentists by going through Google
and only looking for guys that are nearby, guys and gals, sorry,
guys and gals that are nearby that have graduated from
(08:32):
USC dental school.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Period. That's where I am.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I know that's a terrific dental school, and that's how
I look for a dentist.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And I found him.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I found a really cool guy right here at Bank
and his name is doctor Tuman t o O M
I n That guy's great. He grew up in the
same area as I did, like off of Ventura and Balboa,
and so we shared a lot of stories. A little
cup years older than I am. Well, we shared a
lot of stories. Felt like I was at home again.
(09:04):
I felt like I was back in Enco talking to
a guy that I grew up with.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
That was really cool. I enjoyed that.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
And then the Linda and May, the two ladies in
the office. They are they've both been there for thirty
or forty years, and they have the energy of people
who are new employees, and I God love them.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I don't know how you do that.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I don't know how you work for a company, for
a dentist, for a you know, a tire company, a
restaurant for thirty five years and yet you still have
the energy of a new employee and the upbeat and
the laughter and the and the you know, in inquisitiveness.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
It's great.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I don't know how how they did that, but man,
they they gotta they gotta going.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
On over there. They got to going on over there.
So I had to deal with that.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Then I'm there's another big deal in my life, and
I'm I'm dealing with a lot of things off out
of work, and it's exhausting me, it really is. And
I don't know what to do about it. I don't
whether to hire somebody to help me out.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Can we help you?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Now you guys, aren't you guys would be in those
cases you would all be useless.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
But you mean, like mowing your lawn at night? No,
I did.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I did that last two nights ago.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I got home at seven thirty and through my other
tennis shoes on, I got outside. It was almost dark
and I mowed the lawn in the dark. I had
to finish with the flashlight. And that's a powerful flashlight. Yeah, oh,
I know, it lights up nice, the one you found with.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
And then that guy guy walks by and he could
say how's it going, said, well, I'm cutting along with
a flashlight.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
How do you think it's going?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
And then his dog I took a crap on like
the median in front of our house. And he wasn't
gonna pick it up, or I don't know. He was
talking to me when his dog did it, and I
was watching his dog, you know, take a dodo while
I was talking to this guy. And then the guy
didn't realize his dog crap and he laughed and I'm like, hey, boy,
Bob got to pick that up.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I'm not going to pick that up.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Or he knew and acted.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Like yeah maybe, and he goes, oh, was that from
my dog? I'm like it was one. I saw.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I saw those brownies coming out. I saw him, you know, man,
I saw those hit the ground. I know exactly where
those are. I could put a flag on each one.
I can tell you which one was first.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Oh my gosh, man, you were a hot mess.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I'm just horrible.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
All right, We'll try to I get by, but I
just want to warn you I'm playing. I'm doing the
show unto protests because I get a lot of pressure
going on outside of the show, and I'm not handling
it well.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I'm just not handling it well.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I'm exhausted from all the other things I'm doing and
I'm not handling it well.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Plus like a jury duty starting on Tuesday, so.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I gotta I gotta crag my ass down to downtown
Los Angeles at seven thirty in the morning on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday and sit in front of you know,
people that I know are guilty. I always vote guilty always.
I don't care what they I don't care what either
side it says. I just sit there and I look
(12:11):
at my phone or I stare into the wall, and
when they come around, I go guilty or not guilty?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Did you listen? Guilty of what?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I don't know whatever he's in here for. Throw him away.
He did it. By the time you get to trial,
you did it. You know, you passed up on a
lot of opportunities to for a plea. You didn't take him,
So you're guilty. I rely on k I say forty
one now with I wonder if that I wonder if
that nullifies me or kills me in a jury that
(12:42):
I just said that on the air. No matter where
what jury I'm on, I always vote guilty. Maybe we'll see.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty Philly.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
There's not a lot of hot news today, you know,
there's not a you know, we have the the shooting
yesterday in the church and that was horrible in Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
But there's nothing happening today.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
No like real big breaking stories yet, you know, like
a couple of little you know, chase here and tiny
fire there and but but no major, you know, all
hands on deck type of stories. So that's fine, which
I actually prefer because the big, major stories somebody always
(13:28):
gets hurt and then we got to deal with that.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
All right, Let's talk about how rude people are.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
People are extremely rude nowadays, I think, more than ever.
And let's find out in what areas I see it.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
All day long.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
This is the question that goes back generations. Are the
kids these days ruder than before? Or do people just
have the wrong impression about how things were back in
the good old days.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
We actually have data now all this question.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Half of the country believes that we are less polite
than we were pre pandemic.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Very interesting.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Thro a mental health expert, doctor share A ziegel Or,
joins us now to talk about the so called rudeness epidemic.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Wow, okay, so is this an epidemic? What's your take?
Speaker 9 (14:08):
My take is I mean epidemic right, So, I don't
know if I'm going to say epidemic. But do we
have a change in culture, norms, expectations.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I think absolutely we do. We do. We definitely do.
Speaker 9 (14:20):
And so Pew Research did a study on this. They
wanted to pull people and ask them and so, as
you see, yes, big majority of people said yes. And
then they also interviewed like Emily Post, which is, you know,
a sort of an etiquette expert, to say, so is
etiquette changing? And the answer, the short answer is like yes,
because of technology, because.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Of the way we operate in the world.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
And they mentioned the pandemic because when people started working
from home and then you did that for extended periods
of time, sometimes you do forget common courtesy.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
People get feral when you stay at home too long,
you forget how to treat people. But I will say
I think the number one way to get society back
together very simple, very simple to do. But another a
great way to get society back together, you know, black, White, Asian, Hispanic,
you know, Jewish, Catholic, whatever. To get all the groups
(15:12):
back together again, it's a very simple gesture, and it's
called holding the door open for somebody. I can't tell
you how satisfying that is. When you hold the door
open for somebody and they're elated that you did that. Oh,
thank you very much. Man. You were properly raised. You
(15:34):
need to give you one of those big compliments. They
don't even know you.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
That happened to be coming in the building today, okay,
And I was like twenty feet away and the man
held the door and waited for me.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
I was just like, thank you so much, and have
a great day. He's like you too. It was like
a really nice exchange.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I like that. I'm with you. I used to have
a five foot rule.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
If they were within five feet of the door, I'd
hold it open, But now I've extended to twenty twenty five.
I sit there and I wait, because that is the
best way to get people, you know, to compliment you,
and you compliment them and they feel better about it.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
You feel better about it the world. It's a very simple.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Gesture and it slows things down. You're not in a
big hurry. You can stand there and hold the door.
It makes a little easier, Yeah, and it creates a
nice moment.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Right.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
And then on the opposite end of that, I stopped
today on Alameda and Buena Vista because there was an
ambulance coming and it was going to cross in front
of me and I wasn't going.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I wasn't going. And then there was.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
A tesla behind me that honked at me and said, hey, hey,
oh it's great.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
And I said, hey, hey, all the lablage and.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
The ambulance passed in front of me, and he says,
you could have made it.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
You should have gone for it.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Ayhole.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I'm like, ah, like to see that guy going rude?
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Did you have an exchange through an open window or are.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
You just translating open windows?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I heard him, he heard me.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
We blessed off of each other and and I just said,
I hope the next time that ambulance comes back.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
You're right.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
And etiquettes in those kinds of ways. So I think
this is a really interesting idea. I do think we
have a rudeness issue at.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
The very least we do. We do.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
You need to hold the doors open for people and
it will go away.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It will simply go away.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
And women can we see some people as well?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah that's true.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
So if you open the door for somebody and they
walk in and they don't even acknowledge you, do you
say thank you for them, yes, or you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah I shouldn't, but I do.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Yeah, I can't help myself.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I do. I'm I don You're welcome, Yeah I do.
And they sometimes don't hear it or ignore that, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But but you know what that that's going to be
like the two percent, you know, ninety eight percent of
the time, they're going to be over the top of
oh you're so great, thank you so much. Oh man,
really help out having a horrible day, And I really
appreciate that gesture.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
That kind of stuff. That'll be good. That's it.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I think the world will get better if we just
simply hold the door open for each other.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Period.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Michael Monks, Hi you, Bob Buenos tod Si, look at you.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Governor Newsom is deploying his new teams to fight major
crimes in California. Is that to cut off the National
Guard come into town?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I think there is a couple of things at play here.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
One, this is a program that existed before President Trump
returned to office.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Two.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yes, is the answer to your question. Absolutely.
Speaker 10 (18:30):
It's to say, hey, I don't know what you've heard
out of Washington lately, but California is already tough on crime.
So more police officers courtesy of the California Highway Patrol
are making their way to Los Angeles, to the Inland Empire,
but also to San Diego, to the Central Valley and
also to the Bay Area. Where are they coming from?
They are coming from the Statewide Agency to CxP. This
(18:52):
is a program that the governor implemented last year and
it focused on three areas originally including San Bernardino and
Bakersfield in other parts of the Central Valley, and the
governor says this has been a significantly successful operation. Thousands
of stolen cars, thousands of arrest all done because they
(19:13):
send these teams of about fifteen CHP officers to work
with various police departments and to target high crime areas,
and they've been able to deter drug users and illegal
gun operators and divert them to jail. But now they're
expanding to five more regions.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
How long have you been in Los Angeles two and
a half years?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Okay? Have you been a victim of crime?
Speaker 10 (19:34):
We had a PlayStation stolen out of the mail? Okay,
so the answer is yeah, it was probably a neighbor.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Yeah, okay, But I think you're lucky if you've not
been either involved in a hit and run or somebody
taking crap off your property or out of your car.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
It's everywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Almost everybody I know has been a victim of some
kind of crime.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Belly O pulled a knife on me in the hallway.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah I know, Well that doesn't she's just really angry,
angry as hell.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 10 (20:04):
And it's over an internal issue here. But what are
we talking about nationally? About California? There's this perception that's
certainly being capitalized by federal officials, no less than President
Trump himself, that this is a state that is completely
out of control and cannot govern itself. It is a
(20:24):
criminal hellhole. It is a cesspool. And Governor Newsom in
recent weeks and maybe the past couple of months now,
has really taken to President Trump's style of communication. And
so they're going back and forth online and the Newsom
team is going at it all day, every day, sending
(20:45):
out messages in the style of President Trump, trolling them childishly. Right,
but this seems to be an effort to say it's working.
The narrative that you're creating is not accurate. We don't
need you to send troops into la We don't need
you to send more police to California.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
We can handle this on our own.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
In fact, the press conference today was interesting because Newsom
seemed to anticipate questions either in the press conference or
analysis on shows like this that will say, well, why
is he doing this now? So what he was saying was,
it's already successful. Our crime numbers are already dropping, but
it's never enough. We're going to keep going.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh and by the way, he's whatever the reason is,
who cares, you know?
Speaker 10 (21:24):
By the way, he says, our murder rate is very
low right now, lois it's been since nineteen sixty six. However,
states like Mississippi, Louisiana, other southern states, red states, if
you will, those are all disingenuous and you know that.
But that is the message that he said today, that
he said, okay, fact, blame me. In fact, in the
(21:45):
press release that I think I printed off for a
for Beellio to handy you, he included that list of
states in the official press release that he put out
today to say it's four times higher in Louisiana. Okay,
it's four times higher in Mississippi, but you know that's disingenuine.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Different ways to manipulate or to present facts. Well, those
are all I mean.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
When they talk about Louisiana and you know in New
Orleans they talk about, you know, Mississippi, they're talking about
the red state has a lot of murders. But if
you drill down to it, it's all the cities that
are run by Democrats, that's where all the murders are happening.
Speaker 10 (22:21):
We certainly heard some comments to that effect when when
I was on with lou Penrose earlier today.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I noticed in the talkbacks some folks said, well, you
got to you know.
Speaker 10 (22:27):
If you're talking about Louisiana, then you're really talking about
beat Rum, that's right.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
And New Orleans that's right. Yeah, yeah, But what are
the cities in Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I'll look them up and on the fact here exactly,
I mean the truth in Mississippi. These are I'll during
the commercial break, I'll have I'll give you five.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
I think Jackson's the largest city in Mississippi. How many
people live there? Yeah, I don't know, Yeah, not a lot. Yeah,
it's too far.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
But but but I don't like the argument that you
know that the murder raids down. You know, people are
really worried about murder at being murdered as much as
they are about their crap being stolen.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (23:02):
And also in something that I bring up a lot
is it's not even about being a victim of a
crime necessarily. It's about the feeling that you're gonna be right.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
It's you know, like, for instance, I was up in Oregon,
in a very small town that has virtually zero crime,
and I would walk home from a bar at two
thirty in the morning, and it's two miles to get
back to our place, and I never felt like there
was anything going to happen to me ever for a second.
But you if I walk two miles in Burbank at night,
(23:33):
I feel like, oh Christ, this is it.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
These car, these headlights coming up to me. There's gonna
be it.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
It's gonna be a or at North Hollywood, you would
never walk two miles at two thirty in the morning.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
You feel threatened in Burbank at two thirty in the morning. Yeah,
you are wire than I thought.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
That's well, at two thirty in the morning, anyone can
get you, that's true, you know, And the cops don't
really sympathize with you when you get mugged and it's
two thirty of the more are you doing. Yeah, you're
buzz and you're walking and you're two thirty in the morning. Like, Okay,
you had a comment, you had a comment, all right, Well,
it is interesting to see that more cops are coming
out and and you know, but they've always said that
(24:08):
more cops isn't the problem or isn't the solution.
Speaker 10 (24:10):
Well, the governor has not necessarily said that, but you're
right that there are politicians who are on the left
side of the political ideology spectrum who have said we
don't need more police, we need more social services and
those types of respondents. But the governor himself. I said,
we are going to supplement the local police department. In goodness,
no is the LAPD needs it. They are, well, that's
under they want to be.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I know you're a news junkie. So Lisa Cook, she's
with the Federal Reserve. She was fired and she said
she's not going to leave. Let me ask you a question.
They come in today. Brian Long comes in today and says,
Michael Monks, you're fired.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Do you show up on Tuesday.
Speaker 10 (24:48):
What I have on all of you bastards is so
damning all right that none of you would dad me
to leave.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
You'll you'll, you'll, uh, those will go through the courts
and you'll have to deal with that. But I can
I can imagine coming in the day after you're fired
saying I'm not leaving.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
No, it would be uncomfortable.
Speaker 10 (25:06):
And hey, the same thing looks like it's happening at
the CDC to some degree necessarily the same.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
But that's right. It is a weird time.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
And I mean, you're fired and you're not leaving. That's
I mean, being fired is leaving. Hollywood is everywhere, man,
It's a story. It's a show. Everything is show business.
I know, it's a three day weekend, but you're gonna
be live on Saturday. I will be live on Saturday.
I've got a good show.
Speaker 10 (25:26):
I've got a you know, there's a new survey out
on Speaking of Crime, on how residents and businesses in
downtown Los Angeles really feel about the problems down there.
I've got a couple of folks coming on to talk about, Oh,
that's great, how that situation is.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
And something you'll like is a guy who went.
Speaker 10 (25:42):
To Harvard Westlake back when it was called the Harvard
School class in nineteen seventy four. He got the whole
gang back together over zoom back during COVID.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
That's interesting.
Speaker 10 (25:51):
And he's got a new documentary coming out on PBS
SoCal And it is interesting to think about these elite
kids that go to that school, right and the way
that time sort of is the great equalizer and the
types of experiences folks go through. So it's a good
recollection of what life was like in nineteen seventy four
in southern California and where these very affluent kids in
it up.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
That's interesting is that a documentary.
Speaker 10 (26:10):
Yeah, to be on PBS so Cab next week and
we'll have a full interview with the director coming up
on Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
I'd like to check that out, buddy, you are the
king of Saturday nights. Not so much, you know, Thursday
at four now not so much.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I can hear the radios turning off.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Just getting you the best Monks Saturday seven to nine pm.
You've got Monks is the name of the show, but
you've changed it. It's not You've got Monks, it's Michael
Monks reports. Okay, all right, I like you got Monks, man.
I don't hate it.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I don't know there's something there. All right, Thanks, Monks,
you're the best.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
We have a water main.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
In Baldwin Hills that has broken and that's going on
right now. So if you live in Baldwin Hills, well,
very little water pressure and might get held by the
mud that's coming down off the hill. A lot of
fun to live in Los Angeles.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Feears to be happening just off of Labria Avenue here
at the Kenneth Hans State Recreation Areas.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
EWP on the scene down there.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
With construction crews who appear to have struck either a
water main brake or something that is viewing out of
the ground there. It is not going on to Librea,
but you can see the sandbag set up there as
they attend to the situation.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Librea is not seeing water.
Speaker 8 (27:27):
But the traffic is stagging up as the southbound lanes
are shut down.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Reporting Live May seven, I'm Chris Christy, APC seven.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I would just do there you go, so stay out
of the Baldwin Hills area if you can. You know,
yesterday I said that I heard a rumor from somebody
who lives in Ohio and a very good source that
said that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey bought an eighteen
million dollar house in Hunting Valley, and Bellio said, please
(27:55):
don't say that on the air. It's not been confirmed,
and we don't want to give out tailor's address. And
I guess that's fair, right, you don't want to give
router address. I get that, But now it's everywhere. Page
six has it out there. It's all over the internet
and you can go see what the interior of Taylor
Swift's new house is going to look like. So Taylor
(28:17):
swith did they purchase it? That's the rumor, and I
think they did. Look it's it's on page six, And
I get that. Sometimes page six, you know, should not
be page one.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I get that.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
But Taylor Swift and Kelsey Grammar could be setting down
roots in a multi million dollar home that's in Hunting Valley,
just outside of Sugar and Falls, Ohio, which is where
my dad grew up. Now, my dad did not live
in a house like this because my grandparents were broke.
They were they came out of the Great Depression and
(28:49):
they had no money. As a matter of fact, my
grandmother they took the Plane Dealer, which is the Cleveland newspaper,
and they would fire the paper boy two weeks before
Christmas so they didn't have to lay a Christmas bonus
on him. And then and my dad kept the note
that my grandmother wrote to the paper boy. It said,
(29:09):
dear paper boy, you're fired right to the point, yeah,
missus Conway.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
And he kept that.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
So they fired him on December fifth, sixth, and then
they picked up the paper again in January.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
You're hired, you're back, and you're back.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
But my grandparents didn't have any money when they had
telephone service, and you know, if you have a grandmother
or a grandfather that was alive back in the early
nineteen twenties, you probably didn't have phone service in your house.
You may not have had water or plumbing either. And
my grandfather eventually paid to get phone service at his house,
(29:51):
but he didn't want to pay another three dollars to
have them put the wires in the house, so he
just kept it on top of the phone poll. So
in the yard, in the back yard, there was a
phone on top of a phone pole, and when it rang,
he would have to climb up the phone pole to
see who it was. And then if it was my grandmother,
he'd yelled down, hey, image, it's for you, and he
(30:11):
climbed down, my grandmother climbed up.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
That cannot be true.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
It is an absolute true story, absolute true story. My
grandfather was the cheapest man in the world.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
He was broke.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
He bought a doorbell from Sears where America shops, and
he spent two dollars and ninety five cents for the doorbell,
and it was gonna be another four dollars to hook
it up, and he didn't have that kind of money,
so he hooked it up himself. But what he did
is he crossed the wires so it buzzed all day long,
(30:42):
saying and then when it stopped, you go, I'll get it.
That's also a true story, a true start.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
This was your dad's parents, my dad. That makes so
much sense why he has the humor that he had.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yes, right, that's exactly right.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Yeah, one of the funniest men in the world, but
not really like a joke teller. Just the crap he
did was hysterical. Here's another story, my grandfather. There was
a tornado that came through Sugarn Falls, I don't know,
probably about seventy years ago when my dad was younger,
much younger, my dad was probably fifteen sixteen, and there
(31:24):
was warning that came across you know, the radio, there's
a sugar in a tornado, warning for Sugar and Falls, Ohio.
And they all ran into the basement and they heard
the locomotive and that's what it sounds like. Everybody says
it sounds like a train. And it came right over
the house. It spared the house. But in front of
my grandparents' house, they had a big old elm tree
(31:46):
that was eighty feet tall and it was literally like
fourteen feet in diameter. I mean, it's just the biggest
effing tree you've ever seen in your life. Everybody would
stop and take pictures of it. Well, that tornado up
root of the tree and took it down the street
about about one hundred yards into the intersection. That tree
(32:07):
had to weigh two hundred thousand pounds. Two hundred thousand pounds,
So the tornado takes the tree out. It's down the
street in the middle of the intersection. My grandfather opens
the door, looks outside, sees the tree totally gone and says, God,
damn kids. During the tornado, the local neighbor kids pulled
(32:35):
that tree up and dragged it down the street. They
got for everything that's correct.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
But that's where the Kelsea's are moving. Is it going
to be the Kelseas?
Speaker 5 (32:47):
I think so. I think she's very traditional.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
You think she's going to change the Swift.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
Her career she'll still be Taylor Swift, but I think
she probably will. Yeah, I think she changed her name privately.
I do.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I think I know that. Do you think it'll be
Travis Swift? No, you don't think he'll do that?
Speaker 5 (33:06):
No? No, no, she would never emasculate him.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Really, will she be Swift Kelsey?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Maybe I'm sorry, Wait, you said he she would never
emasculate him.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I mean, have you spent following the story? Yeah? Really?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
And the garb that he wears, now that's not that's his.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
He's always dressed like that all away before her. Yes,
do you want me to show you some dancing way
before her?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
And and and laughing when she says his name, and
shy and and doing the latter the arm dance that
he does.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
No, No, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
But it's sixty one acres in Hunting Valley. That's some
beautiful home. It's got everything. It's got a recording studio,
and they were recording studio, but they do.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Oh May for his podcast.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Big huge bathroom, six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, twenty two thousand
square feet.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
That's quite a home.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
And it's I guess official now Taylor Swift Kelsey grammar
of Travis Kelsey eyeing an eighteen million dollar Ohio mansion.
Eighteen You don't know, eighteen million dollars gets you on
the east side of Cleveland. I mean that home in
Beverly Hills would probably be seven hundred million dollars easily
with sixty one acres in Beverly Hills, easily one hundred
(34:26):
and easily seven or eight hundred, maybe a billion dollars
in Beverly Hills, but in Ohio east side of Cleveland
seventeen nine.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
That'll get your beautiful Home Conway.
