Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's kf I AM six forty and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It
is the Conway Show moments ago, literally thirty forty seconds ago.
This is what happened in Florida. We have a launch.
Here we go, seven six five. Here we go back
(00:35):
in space. Astronauts blast off into space point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Million pounds of breast stow propelleen Falcon nine and ten
were telling you to get good callouts on the first
stage performance so far.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Oh, these guys and gals in there, they got to
be nervous. I know it's not the same rocket that
it's blown up twice over the last couple of months,
but still you gotta be nervous. You're wondering how how
much time Elon Musk beent on his rocket been supposed
to sitting in Washington, DC. You don't think that goes
through their minds when they're blasting off.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Seconds into today's fight, Scott, there they go.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
There's four men, four guys, four gals, two guys, one gal.
I don't know there's four people.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Now we are.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Throwing down the engines in preparation for max Que. What
great timing that was we just passed through max Q.
That's the largest structure alone that the vehicle will see.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Your mission is to bring home the stranded astronauts. They're
supposed to be up there for two weeks. They've been
up there for nineteen years.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Up now just over one minute and ten seconds into
today's fights, traveling at more than fourteen hundred miles per hour. Whoa,
and we just made that call out for one bravo,
which means we're in the second and final apartment for
the first age, continuing to get good performance. SpaceX rocket
aready pulling over to ease next step. We'll have a
(02:02):
couple of events happening in rapid succession.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Started.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
First, we'll be that engine chill on the second stage
and back engine which we just heard. And then we'll
have me go or main engine cut off where the
nine engines on the first stage we'll cut off ahead
of the first and second stages, separating from one another.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Then the single they're off to the space station to
bring home these stranded astronauts. They were supposed to be there.
I think for two weeks. What was it, Crozier, I
don't remember the timeline. Was it two weeks? Or two
months something like that. Yeah, it was like a week
or something like that. Now they've been there for nineteen years.
They were at least nine months, I think something like that.
(02:40):
But they originally went up on a Boeing SpaceLiner, and
then they couldn't guarantee that the two astronauts would come
back safely, so they stayed up there. I don't know
how long their food lasted. Evidently they got supplies, they
were resupplies. But that's got to be nerve wracking. You know,
(03:03):
when you lie to your wife or your husband sale
see in two weeks and then you don't come back
for nine months, that's got to be a tough conversation,
right because she, the wife or the husband and stay
at home now has to take care of the kids
and do everything for eight months, nine months while you're
up there floating around with some gal. That's what's going on.
(03:24):
That's what's going on. You spent nine months in his
space and a space capsule or in a space station
with some gal, and your wife's at home and feeding
those kids. You don't think she's pissed. You know, you
said you'd be home in two eggs been going eight
months you're up there with a younger gal who's probably
smarter than the other wife, I imagine, right. I mean
(03:46):
she's more into your your hobby and your your you know,
line of work than the wife is. I mean, you're
up there with a fellow astronaut who's probably, you know,
just as smarter or smarter than the guy. And they
probably have a lot in common. They probably bonded. I
predict when they get back, they're going to get married.
That's my predictions, bold sir. That's right. They spent eight
(04:10):
months together, they liked each other, they really got to
know each other, and they come back, they divorced their
husband and their wife, and they get married. Man, I
hope that's true. Wouldn't that be great? You would just
be labeled a genius? Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. Anyway, So
we're watching that that's going on in space right now.
And the other big story yesterday that we broke here
(04:32):
Bellio kicked ass on that was the plane that landed
at Denver International AIRPORTA and it.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Was da dada not did I say you sure did?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh, I'm sorry, d A.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Or die.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
It's I is it I Denver International Airport? We not die?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Okay, it's not. Okay. Look, it's easy to make those mistakes.
I know you think I did it on purpose. I
didn't do I Yes, so it sort of So there's
a plane that lands. It was supposed to be going
from Colorado Springs. Is there an airport there at Bello
that I'm unaware of in Colorado Springs?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
And is that south of Denver?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Yes, it's south, about an hour or so south of Denver.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Okay, So that would be sort of like the equivalent
of our Burbank airport. It's a smaller airport.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
And it's Colorado Springs Airport, Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
And they were going from there to Dallas. Yes, couldn't
you just make that drive? Isn't that like a six
to seven hour drive? Five hour drive versus an hour
or two?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Well, okay, how about versus standing on the wing while
the plane explodes? How about that? How about that?
Speaker 6 (05:44):
They're okay though, right, Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Here's the problem I have with that plane and the
DIADIAA is that plane lands and it pulls up neck
near the gate, not all the way to the gate,
but it pulls up the gate and it explodes. It
catches on fire, and people are getting out of the
plane through the window, through the door there the emergency door,
and they're standing on the wing.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Yeah, the slides didn't open.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Okay, how about this. There's a plane next to it,
it's loading and you're looking out at that. Well, you're
loading the plane, yeah, and trying to be casual in
your seat, and you know, I'm sure the pilot came out.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
I welcome aboard everybody. If you're on the right of
the Starbird side of this plane, if you could please
lower your shades. We try to keep the plane nice
and cool. Oh it's a winter, we probably try to
keep the play nice and warm. So if you please
lower your shade and ignore the death that possibly is
going on with that plane next to us, we'd appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Thank you, thank you. You know that people are looking
at that at that plane, they're loading a plane next
to it, going to Boston, and as they look out
the window, they see a plane on fire and one
hundred people on the wings. That's the last vision they
get before they take off. That's crazy, That is unbelievable.
(07:06):
How about those people, you know, have to take off
on a plane while watching potentially the death of one
hundred and seventy eight people. Fortunately nobody died, but they've
got to they've got to be nervous getting on that
plane and looking across the you know, one hundred feet
from them, and people are on the wing. Well, the
(07:28):
plane's on fire. They've got to do something about that.
They've got to put up a screen or something so
people don't have to see that in the future.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
They're like, oh, look over here, the Rockies. Here, the Rockies.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, or take or take that plane that's on fire,
and then take it far away from the terminal. Don't
pull it right into the terminal while it's on fire.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
What point did it ignite the fire? Ichnot. It was
as they were pulling up that it did that.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I don't know. I guess what they The pilot said
that he held he felt the engine vibrate and he
wasn't getting enough to thrust out of that engine. That
they were going much slower than they should have been,
and so he knew that engine was broken, and he
was he was bright enough to feel that. They say,
in his seat, he was looking, he was looking at
the instruments, and he was seeing that there wasn't enough
(08:14):
thrust that engine, and he could feel the vibrations in
his seat. And he's not even near that plant, near
that that engine. Can you imagine what it's like next
to that engine? How crazy that ride was? You know,
bang bay baye bye bye bye bye baye baye bay
and and and then all the things go through your mind.
Oh the people that died in Washington, d C. Oh,
the you know, the door that fell off in Oregon. Oh,
(08:36):
the tire that fell off in in Los Angeles. Oh,
the plane that turned upside down in Toronto. And you're
just thinking, are we next? And guess what you were?
Speaker 8 (08:47):
You were next?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Of all these plane accidents and all the craziness in
the air. That next one was last night. And who's
going to be next? I don't know. I don't know,
but it's really a tough time to fly right now
if you're on your way to the airport. I apologize.
I don't mean to make you nervous. I just think
that this is the only way to get people to
straighten this crap out is to constantly talk about it.
If you just brush it under, you know, under the refrigerator,
(09:12):
nobody he'll do anything about it. But they got to
do something about this, and that was Angel's favorite plane,
a Boeing seven thirty seven Max, and Angel Martinez was
the first one on the air five years ago, six
years ago, saying she would never get on a seven
thirty seven Max. And I thought you were crazy for that.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Oh yeah, well I've never liked that plane.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, I thought you were crazy. Now I'm I'm on
board with you, so to speak, right, I am not.
I'm not a Max guy anymore. Don't give me the
Max man.
Speaker 9 (09:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
SpaceX successful launch up in to try to get those
that couple out of the space station. Butch and Sunny, Yeah,
Butch and man they're on the which one is the man? Butch?
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Butch is the man? And they were supposed to be
up there eight days.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Oh, eight days, and they've been up there eight months
going on nine.
Speaker 10 (10:10):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Really, did they bring a change of clothes for eight months?
Or you just wear that stupid outfit the whole time?
Speaker 6 (10:17):
They had eight days of.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Of underwear and socks. Yeah, And you can't wash anything
up there.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
You must be able to wash things up there, you.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Think, Yeah, really, I don't know if you really need
to wash them. You don't sweat, you know. I don't
know why you need to wash him. Maybe you do,
I think you do. Who it'd be great if it
was quite up, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
That would be great.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, no quarters, Yeah, But anyway, the launch has happened,
and they're going to get the Butch and Sunny and
try to bring them home. See what's going on with
those two? Why they stayed up there so long? Why
they wouldn't come home?
Speaker 8 (10:56):
Why are they so?
Speaker 5 (10:58):
I guess the the International Space Station doesn't They do
not wash their clothes. Instead, they wear their clothes until
they become too dirty or smelly, and then they discard them.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Kfi trash bins out there? Do they It's like the
radio station? Wait a minute, what do they do? Can
you read that again?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
It says that they wear their clothes until they become
too dirty or smelly and then discard them.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Okay, So what happens when they I mean, if so
in eight weeks they probably brought two outfits, then yeah,
I would think so, So what happens after that? You
just nude in that jumpsuit?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Well, I'm researching right now.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'm telling you, these two got clothes they're up there
for eight months nude, you know, I know, guys, they
got close, guys, they're real close dudes. Yeah, and that's
gonna be a marriage. That's gonna be more. They're gonna
get they're going to double date with Kelsey and sweat.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Foresome certain items of clothing can be worn for days, weeks,
or even months at a time.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Really, according to who, people who've lost their sense of
smell and sight and.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Taste, like you said, they don't sweat much.
Speaker 11 (12:16):
So so apparently they took no change of clothes really well,
I mean, if it lasts how long, Yeah, it could
have maybe one change.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So they probably did take maybe one change of clothing.
So there are no And what do they do with
the discarded clothes? They just launched them into space?
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Yeah, they put them in cargo spacecrafts which burn up
on the Earth's atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Is that right? Yeah, So there's there's no underwear in
the in the station anymore.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
But what about grooming, I mean, is it uh?
Speaker 8 (12:50):
You know, I.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I don't know. Are you able to shave your armpits
and your legs? And then those those crazy hairs are
flying around the space Station, International Space Station. I don't know,
and then what about you know? Oh man, there's a
lot of questions I got. But anyway, they're back up
(13:14):
in space right now. I'm watching a live feed of
it right here. Let's put the audio up and see
if there's anything here. There's a live feed of what's
going on inside that Space Shuttle on. It's all computerized.
You know, it used to be all buttons and now
it's all computerized. Kind of cool deal. And there's four
of them.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
If you're just now joining us, you are.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
We are watching live Crew ten out in space in
the Dragon vehicle. They lifted off from Space Launch Complex
thirty nine A at seven to three pm Eastern time.
Speaker 12 (13:51):
Dragon SpaceX. There are about three minutes remaining in the
current ground station pass at this time. You're welcome to
introducers YOURG indicator. We're using the four crew camp so
we can see all four crew members right now.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
The brain boots they've got going on up there, kind
of odd.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Look all right, capies, thank you space X.
Speaker 10 (14:09):
We'd like to introduce the crew tend G indicator.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Bucky is holding him up.
Speaker 10 (14:16):
This is a hand crochet or agami crane Japanese origami
hand crochet in the United States, and his name is Bruges,
which is.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
What God almighty, you know they're in They're in the
most sophisticated space and the most sophisticated vehicle in the world.
And somebody brought an origami owl with them and they're
passing that around. It's odd, odd, odd behavior up there.
All right, Well, we got back, we're gonna talk. We'll
we'll find out what happened with this American airliner. There's
some more news coming out. That's the plane that caught fire.
(14:51):
It's a big deal. And you know, because everybody is
afraid of flying nowadays. Used to, when you fly, you
just fall asleep and you woke up when they landed.
Now now every time there's a bump, somebody on the
plane is panicking. I was on a flight back from
Oregon and we took off it it was really rough.
(15:13):
There's a lot of turbulence on the way out of Oregon,
and there are people doing the yipso you know, when
when the plane hits ah, they got the Yipso yeah,
and there's a lot of them.
Speaker 11 (15:27):
There's always one person that goes just a little too
much going, all right, and it doesn't help the rest
of the passengers.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
When you do that, you know, shut the hell up.
We'll be fine, man, or we won't. There's those two options.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
David Vance saying is traveling with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
They landed in Tokyo, Japan. A million people lining the
streets to see the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's like the
Beatles coming to Los Angeles or New York back in
the late fifties, early sixties. And David Vassi, who's been
with the Dodgers, I think for fifteen twenty years. He's
(16:09):
with them in Japan right now. Thatassay. Welcome to KFI.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
How you Bob Hey ding Dong? Tim Conway eight thirty
in the morning on Saturdays here in Tokyo, Japan, and
the Dodgers are playing an exhibition game against the Yemen
Muri Giants, the most popular team in Japanese baseball.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Wow, all right, so you get off the plane that play.
Did you travel on the plane with them?
Speaker 12 (16:34):
I did.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
I was on the Dodgers team charter twelve hours from Phoenix, Arizona, Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
And that that was a big It looked like one
of those big seven forty sevens. Is that true?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (16:44):
Yeah, it was one of those with the second floor
at the front of the plane.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (16:49):
Who was on the second floor?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Man, more people more important than you.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Very much. So it was a Dave Roberts coaching staff
that was sitting there.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Wow, that's kind of rude, right not to have you
up there. You're the one doing all the publicity on
the air for them, Buddy, you.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
Would put me in the best seat on the plane, Tim,
I appreciate it. I would.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I would. I would put nobody on the second floor
other than you and I in a big bed. Are
we able to sleep on the plane?
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Actually, the sleep specialists told me that it would be
best not to sleep more than an hour on the
plane because when we landed it would be three o'clock
in the afternoon. So they tried. So I went along
with that sleep training and it's worked out well. I
don't really have jet lag. Wait, it should be the
(17:41):
soke hangovers, but I don't have any jet lag.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Do the Dodgers travel with a sleep specialist?
Speaker 8 (17:49):
No? But last year, Tim, the Dodgers went to start
the season in Soul Korea, okay, And they tapped into
sleep specialists for their players, and you know, players are
able to relay some of that information to me, and
so they have a pretty good handle on it for
this trip because obviously same time zone. So when you
(18:11):
have a group of athletes, you know they're well oiled machine.
You want to try to get the best out of them.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I got to get in that racket. I got to
be you know, I'm a sleep specialist. I don't know
if you know this. I could travel with the team
and tell people when to sleep and when they should
get up and all that craft. Hey, buddy, So when
the plane lands and you get off the plane and you, guys,
I imagine in a police escort to the hotel where
the streets I heard the streets were lined with a
million people.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know where you heard that from,
but they were lined with people just going about their
daily lives. Actually, the Dodgers went to great lengths to
try to avoid any of that beatle mania that you
remember seeing when they came to America because of the
popularity of these three Japanese superstars. Really, o Tani, I mean,
(19:00):
we're all being very polite when we cover this and
include the other two Japanese pitchers, but really, talking to
the Japanese media here, this is all about Otani. It's
the World Tour. He has generated millions, if not billions,
of dollars for the Dodgers in Major League Baseball over
the course of his career, and he's back home and
(19:23):
that's what people care about.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
You know, a lot of people don't know this, But
Shohe Otani last year was a rehab year, isn't that correct?
Speaker 8 (19:34):
Yeah, in the pitching sense exactly. He had elbow surgery
and rehab. He was exclusively a hitter.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Okay, in the rehab year. He went fifty to fifty.
He had more than fifty home runs and more than
fifty stone bases.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Yes, it was one of the single greatest regular seasons
by any player. It was truly a remarkable season to watch.
And when he hit those milestones him, he did them
with the dramatics. When he hit his fortieth home run,
it was a walk off Grand Slam. When he became
a fifty to fifty player, he almost hit for the cycle,
(20:11):
which means he came up a triple shy for the cycle,
hitting three home runs ten RBIs. That was probably the
single greatest regular season game I have seen from a player.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
That's amazing. Hey, so when you get there, I hope
you did the American thing and the first restaurant you
went to was like in McDonald's or KFC.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
I know somebody in the traveling party that actually went
to McDonald's and tried to tarry Yaki cheezburger and he
said it was awful. But I actually went to the
restaurant where they filmed the scenes from kill Bill last night.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Hey, I also heard that you went. You were interviewed
on a show last night, and you went to bars
and restaurants where they have no foreigners.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Exactly. The owner she gave me the X sign when
I walked in because they did not want any tourists
coming in. And it was a small sashimi place that
holds probably thirty people. There was one table available and
the name of the TV network is tv Asahi.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Like the beer.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
And they took me around this area of Tokyo called
Rapingo and they filmed me eating very very authentic Japanese food.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Would you eat What was the craziest thing you ate?
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Oh? I mean the sashimi was scallops, it was tuna,
and it was the tentacles from octopus. And I said, look,
I mean I'll only go so far. They said, no, perfect,
we want your honest reactions. So I was honest, I
couldn't go that far.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Makes it makes you want one of those crappy McDonald's
taraiaki burgers.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
Yeah, I was like, hey, do they have you know,
the yaqui silva noodles here? I mean, how about that, buddy.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I can't believe this. I mean, this is a huge
deal for you. And being able to travel with the
Dodgers like this, it's like a dream come true for you.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
It really is. Tim. I'm very fortunate and I've been
able over the course of the last fourteen years traveled
to a few different continents with the Dodgers, starting in
twenty fourteen when they went to Sydney, Australia to begin
the year, and last year Soul Korea now Tokyo, Japan.
With Otani. We also went to monitoring Mexico. That was
(22:39):
a crazy experience as well. So the Dodgers certainly are
are global brand and they're taking advantage of the big
market they are here in Japan.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I bet the Dodgers are if you asked them, signing
Otani to seven hundred million dollars was worth every single time.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
Without a doubt. I said it at the time, and
I'm even more confident about this. They are going to
make money off of seven hundred million dollars. They're not
losing money billions.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
What's a security like in the hotel? Crazy?
Speaker 8 (23:12):
Yeah, Actually it's a lot more secured than last year
in Soul, Korea, where the hotel management allowed fans to
line the lobby and media to line the lobby. Here
at the hotel that the team's staying at in Japan,
a lot more secure, a lot more private, and nobody's
attempted to try to you know, hang out and autograph seekers.
(23:34):
But I will say this, yesterday, Tim I went with
a group of players to watch a sumo wrestling practice,
and somehow, some way, these autograph seekers found out that
they were going to be there, and as soon as
three taxis unloaded with Dodger players, these Japanese fans emerged
(23:55):
seemingly out of nowhere and started shoving their cameras in
their face is to take selfies. So that was the
most you know fandom I've seen so far where it
wasn't really controlled right, And when.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
When is the first game? When do they play the
first game?
Speaker 8 (24:15):
Wow, March eighteenth, which is next Tuesday, I believe in
the States, and A five seventy is going to carry
it live which will be at three am, and also
replay it later in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
And I heard also when they went to batting practice
that they that the stadium was also filled with fans.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
Yeah. Can you believe they sold tickets yesterday for Dodgers'
workout and it was capped off at ten thousand people.
And O'tani didn't even take batting practice. He doesn't usually
take batting practice on the field. All he did was
emerge for a little bit out of the dugout, run
the bases maybe for ten minutes, and went back inside
(25:00):
and they never saw him again.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Buddy, this is you know, nineteen this is you know,
early nineteenth century or mid nineteenth century with Babe Ruth.
I mean, he's like the greatest, you know, athlete in
the world, the most well known athlete in the world.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
Yeah, without a doubt, without a doubt, this is Michael
Jordan level when he was at his peek here in Japan.
You see Otani billboards everywhere here in Tokyo, Japan, with
all the endorsements he has, from green Tea to watches, wow,
you name it, he has his face on it. And
(25:34):
that's the reason why you hear so many who reports
him that he makes upwards of one hundred million dollars
annually in endorsements here in Tokyo.
Speaker 12 (25:43):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Hey, did people bring their wives or and did Otani
bring his dog?
Speaker 8 (25:49):
Otani came alone. He did not bring decoy his wife's
state back as well. But the Dodgers did afford players
a plus one to be able to come on the plane.
There's a lot of demand. Uh, there was not enough
room to bring everybody's family, so they limited it to
a plus one.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Did did they offer you a plus one?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
They did?
Speaker 8 (26:13):
They said you could bring your luggage plus one.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
That's great, buddy. I love the fact that you're that
you're calling. I know you're hungover. You drink like a fish,
you know, like I do. I know you're between throat conway.
Actually great, I know it sounds like you're actually in
the toilet right now. Buddy. I can't believe you came
on with us. That's so cool. We really appreciate it,
(26:40):
and we want to have you on again. Uh maybe
from maybe Monday.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
Yeah sounds good. Actually, you know the reason what's going
on here in Tokyo the environment. This is a high
allergy season. Everybody's wearing a mask, not because they're trying
to avoid the flu, but the allergies are dus really bad.
So I may be. I'm glad I brought my clarity
in with me.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Conway, wait for you, buddy. I also heard in everybody
in Japan behaves. I would like to go there and
see that.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Oh yeah, great people, seriously great people. We can learn
a lot from them.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, it's the land of no a holes.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
I don't know if you know them one hundred percent.
I have not seen one a hole.

Speaker 9 (28:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
kf I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Well, Alex Michaelson's with us from kt TV channel eleven.
How you bob.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Ding Dong with you?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Take me with you, buddy. I'm sorry, I'm so late here.
We were talking to David Vasse from Japan and he
was so excited to talk about the Dodgers. I kept
trying to get him off the phone because I wanted
to talk to you, but he wouldn't budge what.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
I'm excited about the Dodgers too. You go all the
way to Japan, you deserve some extra time.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
That's right, that's right. Where are you calling us from?
You calling us from Japan?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Yeah, I just went to West La.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
So you know WestLA. What's going on with the big
show tonight? The issue is I want to try to
slide that in, but I know you got to get
out of here. At fifty eight.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
We've got we've got the first interview for a sit down,
local interview with Katie Porter of her race for governor.
So we're talking to her, we're talking to Mike Madrid,
is very smart Republican political strategist. And then yesterday I
did a big sit down with Jane Fonda, Wow, who
is real frustrated with Governor Newsom for sitting down with
(29:30):
Steve Bannon for not doing more for oil for sort
of in her view, turning her back his back on
the environmental movement. She said, is he Churchill or Chamberlain?
And she says she's comparing him to Chamberlain basically an
appeasement policy with Trump. So there's some of that tonight
as well.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
But how can that side ever win if everyone gets
pissed that they talked to the other side.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
There's a that was that was my pushback.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Okay, I give you a star. Yeah, good job, buddy.
Speaker 12 (30:01):
Yeah all right.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
So Katy Porter, are you a little leerie about pushing
politicians like that on us? Because you gave us Mayor.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Bass Well to say, I gave you Mayor Basses a
little bit much as I more interviews with Rick Caruso
than anybody else did his launch interview, did the first
debate with him? Did he only sit down with his family?
I gave Rick carusa probably more airtime than I did
to may Baths, So that was. Can't blame that.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
One on me, But I knew that irritate you.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
But look, I'm not I we give everybody a fair shine.
I'm the only show that last week we had Charlie
Kirk and this week I had Jane Fonda's great doing
that right.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Look, I think I think you know from what your
mentor Tim Well, what's his name, tim My, Tim Russer,
I think he's the exactly the same guy. He would
have looked down on you and say we're looking down
you and saying great job.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I'd hope. So it's yeah, And I just met recently
with his old executive producer who was very complimentary of
the work I was doing, and that really meant a lot.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yeah, I think it's great. All right, So tonight Katie
Porter and a little bit of Jane fonded night at
ten thirty on Chenne eleven.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Yeah, and then next week, next week we have a
whole half hour special with Jane Fond. Also talked with Julia,
Luis Dreyfus, Seinfeld and Viet Same and it was a
really interesting event. And then talk to the oil company
and got their side too, because we know there's a
whole other side of that and a lot of people
that are put to work and a lot of people
that like cheap gas.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
But doesn't Julia Louise Dreyfus come from gas money.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
I don't know where all the money of her family
comes from. I should look into that, but it's oil money.
She certainly against the idea of that.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Oh really, Well, next time you run into her, ask
her where she got all her money from, because she
got it from her dad, who used to run the
oil business.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Although I think she's made a few dollars from Seinfeld.
Speaker 8 (32:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I heard it. That deal. That deal was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I get that by oil money. Oil money, Alex, Yeah,
oil money with Julie, Luise, Jeffs. Look it up a
ton of it. Are you running in the marathon?
Speaker 3 (32:18):
I am not running in the amrathon? No interest in that?
Are you?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I would look down on you if you did.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
I did a half marathon one time. At the end
they said, do you want to do a full? I
said no, I don't want to do a half.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Buddy. I drove back. I drove back twenty six miles
from Huntington Beach last yesterday afternoon. I was exhausted. Right, yeah,
you know the only reason people run a marathon. What's
that to tell everybody that they ran a marathon?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, that's right, buddy, you're the best. I'll be watching
till my ten thirty with a couple of drinks.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
In me being dong with you, being dong with you.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Thanks man, All right? Elex Michael sent everybody tonight Channel
eleven at ten thirty pm. The issue is welcome back
our old buddy Malibu Dan Dan Finder's gonna be with us.
We'll talk Orange County real estate. He has become the
King of Orange County real Estate unbelieva. From Street Squad
at KALs X to the King of Orange County real Estate.
(33:19):
That's his new book.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Up.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
We're live on KFI AM six forty More Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always
hear us live on KFI AM six forty four to
seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on
the iHeartRadio app.
It's kf I AM six forty and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It
is the Conway Show moments ago, literally thirty forty seconds ago.
This is what happened in Florida. We have a launch.
Here we go, seven six five. Here we go back
(00:35):
in space. Astronauts blast off into space point seven.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Million pounds of breast stow propelleen Falcon nine and ten
were telling you to get good callouts on the first
stage performance so far.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Oh, these guys and gals in there, they got to
be nervous. I know it's not the same rocket that
it's blown up twice over the last couple of months,
but still you gotta be nervous. You're wondering how how
much time Elon Musk beent on his rocket been supposed
to sitting in Washington, DC. You don't think that goes
through their minds when they're blasting off.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Seconds into today's fight, Scott, there they go.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
There's four men, four guys, four gals, two guys, one gal.
I don't know there's four people.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Now we are.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Throwing down the engines in preparation for max Que. What
great timing that was we just passed through max Q.
That's the largest structure alone that the vehicle will see.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Your mission is to bring home the stranded astronauts. They're
supposed to be up there for two weeks. They've been
up there for nineteen years.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Up now just over one minute and ten seconds into
today's fights, traveling at more than fourteen hundred miles per hour. Whoa,
and we just made that call out for one bravo,
which means we're in the second and final apartment for
the first age, continuing to get good performance. SpaceX rocket
aready pulling over to ease next step. We'll have a
(02:02):
couple of events happening in rapid succession.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Started.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
First, we'll be that engine chill on the second stage
and back engine which we just heard. And then we'll
have me go or main engine cut off where the
nine engines on the first stage we'll cut off ahead
of the first and second stages, separating from one another.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Then the single they're off to the space station to
bring home these stranded astronauts. They were supposed to be there.
I think for two weeks. What was it, Crozier, I
don't remember the timeline. Was it two weeks? Or two
months something like that. Yeah, it was like a week
or something like that. Now they've been there for nineteen years.
They were at least nine months, I think something like that.
(02:40):
But they originally went up on a Boeing SpaceLiner, and
then they couldn't guarantee that the two astronauts would come
back safely, so they stayed up there. I don't know
how long their food lasted. Evidently they got supplies, they
were resupplies. But that's got to be nerve wracking. You know,
(03:03):
when you lie to your wife or your husband sale
see in two weeks and then you don't come back
for nine months, that's got to be a tough conversation,
right because she, the wife or the husband and stay
at home now has to take care of the kids
and do everything for eight months, nine months while you're
up there floating around with some gal. That's what's going on.
(03:24):
That's what's going on. You spent nine months in his
space and a space capsule or in a space station
with some gal, and your wife's at home and feeding
those kids. You don't think she's pissed. You know, you
said you'd be home in two eggs been going eight
months you're up there with a younger gal who's probably
smarter than the other wife, I imagine, right. I mean
(03:46):
she's more into your your hobby and your your you know,
line of work than the wife is. I mean, you're
up there with a fellow astronaut who's probably, you know,
just as smarter or smarter than the guy. And they
probably have a lot in common. They probably bonded. I
predict when they get back, they're going to get married.
That's my predictions, bold sir. That's right. They spent eight
(04:10):
months together, they liked each other, they really got to
know each other, and they come back, they divorced their
husband and their wife, and they get married. Man, I
hope that's true. Wouldn't that be great? You would just
be labeled a genius? Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. Anyway, So
we're watching that that's going on in space right now.
And the other big story yesterday that we broke here
(04:32):
Bellio kicked ass on that was the plane that landed
at Denver International AIRPORTA and it.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Was da dada not did I say you sure did?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh, I'm sorry, d A.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Or die.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
It's I is it I Denver International Airport? We not die?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Okay, it's not. Okay. Look, it's easy to make those mistakes.
I know you think I did it on purpose. I
didn't do I Yes, so it sort of So there's
a plane that lands. It was supposed to be going
from Colorado Springs. Is there an airport there at Bello
that I'm unaware of in Colorado Springs?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
And is that south of Denver?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Yes, it's south, about an hour or so south of Denver.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Okay, So that would be sort of like the equivalent
of our Burbank airport. It's a smaller airport.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
And it's Colorado Springs Airport, Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
And they were going from there to Dallas. Yes, couldn't
you just make that drive? Isn't that like a six
to seven hour drive? Five hour drive versus an hour
or two?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Well, okay, how about versus standing on the wing while
the plane explodes? How about that? How about that?
Speaker 6 (05:44):
They're okay though, right, Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Here's the problem I have with that plane and the
DIADIAA is that plane lands and it pulls up neck
near the gate, not all the way to the gate,
but it pulls up the gate and it explodes. It
catches on fire, and people are getting out of the
plane through the window, through the door there the emergency door,
and they're standing on the wing.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Yeah, the slides didn't open.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Okay, how about this. There's a plane next to it,
it's loading and you're looking out at that. Well, you're
loading the plane, yeah, and trying to be casual in
your seat, and you know, I'm sure the pilot came out.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
I welcome aboard everybody. If you're on the right of
the Starbird side of this plane, if you could please
lower your shades. We try to keep the plane nice
and cool. Oh it's a winter, we probably try to
keep the play nice and warm. So if you please
lower your shade and ignore the death that possibly is
going on with that plane next to us, we'd appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Thank you, thank you. You know that people are looking
at that at that plane, they're loading a plane next
to it, going to Boston, and as they look out
the window, they see a plane on fire and one
hundred people on the wings. That's the last vision they
get before they take off. That's crazy, That is unbelievable.
(07:06):
How about those people, you know, have to take off
on a plane while watching potentially the death of one
hundred and seventy eight people. Fortunately nobody died, but they've
got to they've got to be nervous getting on that
plane and looking across the you know, one hundred feet
from them, and people are on the wing. Well, the
(07:28):
plane's on fire. They've got to do something about that.
They've got to put up a screen or something so
people don't have to see that in the future.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
They're like, oh, look over here, the Rockies. Here, the Rockies.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, or take or take that plane that's on fire,
and then take it far away from the terminal. Don't
pull it right into the terminal while it's on fire.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
What point did it ignite the fire? Ichnot. It was
as they were pulling up that it did that.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I don't know. I guess what they The pilot said
that he held he felt the engine vibrate and he
wasn't getting enough to thrust out of that engine. That
they were going much slower than they should have been,
and so he knew that engine was broken, and he
was he was bright enough to feel that. They say,
in his seat, he was looking, he was looking at
the instruments, and he was seeing that there wasn't enough
(08:14):
thrust that engine, and he could feel the vibrations in
his seat. And he's not even near that plant, near
that that engine. Can you imagine what it's like next
to that engine? How crazy that ride was? You know,
bang bay baye bye bye bye bye baye baye bay
and and and then all the things go through your mind.
Oh the people that died in Washington, d C. Oh,
the you know, the door that fell off in Oregon. Oh,
(08:36):
the tire that fell off in in Los Angeles. Oh,
the plane that turned upside down in Toronto. And you're
just thinking, are we next? And guess what you were?
Speaker 8 (08:47):
You were next?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Of all these plane accidents and all the craziness in
the air. That next one was last night. And who's
going to be next? I don't know. I don't know,
but it's really a tough time to fly right now
if you're on your way to the airport. I apologize.
I don't mean to make you nervous. I just think
that this is the only way to get people to
straighten this crap out is to constantly talk about it.
If you just brush it under, you know, under the refrigerator,
(09:12):
nobody he'll do anything about it. But they got to
do something about this, and that was Angel's favorite plane,
a Boeing seven thirty seven Max, and Angel Martinez was
the first one on the air five years ago, six
years ago, saying she would never get on a seven
thirty seven Max. And I thought you were crazy for that.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Oh yeah, well I've never liked that plane.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, I thought you were crazy. Now I'm I'm on
board with you, so to speak, right, I am not.
I'm not a Max guy anymore. Don't give me the
Max man.
Speaker 9 (09:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
SpaceX successful launch up in to try to get those
that couple out of the space station. Butch and Sunny, Yeah,
Butch and man they're on the which one is the man? Butch?
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Butch is the man? And they were supposed to be
up there eight days.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Oh, eight days, and they've been up there eight months
going on nine.
Speaker 10 (10:10):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Really, did they bring a change of clothes for eight months?
Or you just wear that stupid outfit the whole time?
Speaker 6 (10:17):
They had eight days of.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Of underwear and socks. Yeah, And you can't wash anything
up there.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
You must be able to wash things up there, you.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Think, Yeah, really, I don't know if you really need
to wash them. You don't sweat, you know. I don't
know why you need to wash him. Maybe you do,
I think you do. Who it'd be great if it
was quite up, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
That would be great.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, no quarters, Yeah, But anyway, the launch has happened,
and they're going to get the Butch and Sunny and
try to bring them home. See what's going on with
those two? Why they stayed up there so long? Why
they wouldn't come home?
Speaker 8 (10:56):
Why are they so?
Speaker 5 (10:58):
I guess the the International Space Station doesn't They do
not wash their clothes. Instead, they wear their clothes until
they become too dirty or smelly, and then they discard them.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Kfi trash bins out there? Do they It's like the
radio station? Wait a minute, what do they do? Can
you read that again?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
It says that they wear their clothes until they become
too dirty or smelly and then discard them.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Okay, So what happens when they I mean, if so
in eight weeks they probably brought two outfits, then yeah,
I would think so, So what happens after that? You
just nude in that jumpsuit?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Well, I'm researching right now.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'm telling you, these two got clothes they're up there
for eight months nude, you know, I know, guys, they
got close, guys, they're real close dudes. Yeah, and that's
gonna be a marriage. That's gonna be more. They're gonna
get they're going to double date with Kelsey and sweat.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Foresome certain items of clothing can be worn for days, weeks,
or even months at a time.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Really, according to who, people who've lost their sense of
smell and sight and.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Taste, like you said, they don't sweat much.
Speaker 11 (12:16):
So so apparently they took no change of clothes really well,
I mean, if it lasts how long, Yeah, it could
have maybe one change.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So they probably did take maybe one change of clothing.
So there are no And what do they do with
the discarded clothes? They just launched them into space?
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Yeah, they put them in cargo spacecrafts which burn up
on the Earth's atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Is that right? Yeah, So there's there's no underwear in
the in the station anymore.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
But what about grooming, I mean, is it uh?
Speaker 8 (12:50):
You know, I.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I don't know. Are you able to shave your armpits
and your legs? And then those those crazy hairs are
flying around the space Station, International Space Station. I don't know,
and then what about you know? Oh man, there's a
lot of questions I got. But anyway, they're back up
(13:14):
in space right now. I'm watching a live feed of
it right here. Let's put the audio up and see
if there's anything here. There's a live feed of what's
going on inside that Space Shuttle on. It's all computerized.
You know, it used to be all buttons and now
it's all computerized. Kind of cool deal. And there's four
of them.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
If you're just now joining us, you are.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
We are watching live Crew ten out in space in
the Dragon vehicle. They lifted off from Space Launch Complex
thirty nine A at seven to three pm Eastern time.
Speaker 12 (13:51):
Dragon SpaceX. There are about three minutes remaining in the
current ground station pass at this time. You're welcome to
introducers YOURG indicator. We're using the four crew camp so
we can see all four crew members right now.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
The brain boots they've got going on up there, kind
of odd.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Look all right, capies, thank you space X.
Speaker 10 (14:09):
We'd like to introduce the crew tend G indicator.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Bucky is holding him up.
Speaker 10 (14:16):
This is a hand crochet or agami crane Japanese origami
hand crochet in the United States, and his name is Bruges,
which is.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
What God almighty, you know they're in They're in the
most sophisticated space and the most sophisticated vehicle in the world.
And somebody brought an origami owl with them and they're
passing that around. It's odd, odd, odd behavior up there.
All right, Well, we got back, we're gonna talk. We'll
we'll find out what happened with this American airliner. There's
some more news coming out. That's the plane that caught fire.
(14:51):
It's a big deal. And you know, because everybody is
afraid of flying nowadays. Used to, when you fly, you
just fall asleep and you woke up when they landed.
Now now every time there's a bump, somebody on the
plane is panicking. I was on a flight back from
Oregon and we took off it it was really rough.
(15:13):
There's a lot of turbulence on the way out of Oregon,
and there are people doing the yipso you know, when
when the plane hits ah, they got the Yipso yeah,
and there's a lot of them.
Speaker 11 (15:27):
There's always one person that goes just a little too
much going, all right, and it doesn't help the rest
of the passengers.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
When you do that, you know, shut the hell up.
We'll be fine, man, or we won't. There's those two options.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
David Vance saying is traveling with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
They landed in Tokyo, Japan. A million people lining the
streets to see the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's like the
Beatles coming to Los Angeles or New York back in
the late fifties, early sixties. And David Vassi, who's been
with the Dodgers, I think for fifteen twenty years. He's
(16:09):
with them in Japan right now. Thatassay. Welcome to KFI.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
How you Bob Hey ding Dong? Tim Conway eight thirty
in the morning on Saturdays here in Tokyo, Japan, and
the Dodgers are playing an exhibition game against the Yemen
Muri Giants, the most popular team in Japanese baseball.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Wow, all right, so you get off the plane that play.
Did you travel on the plane with them?
Speaker 12 (16:34):
I did.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
I was on the Dodgers team charter twelve hours from Phoenix, Arizona, Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
And that that was a big It looked like one
of those big seven forty sevens. Is that true?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (16:44):
Yeah, it was one of those with the second floor
at the front of the plane.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (16:49):
Who was on the second floor?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Man, more people more important than you.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Very much. So it was a Dave Roberts coaching staff
that was sitting there.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Wow, that's kind of rude, right not to have you
up there. You're the one doing all the publicity on
the air for them, Buddy, you.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
Would put me in the best seat on the plane, Tim,
I appreciate it. I would.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I would. I would put nobody on the second floor
other than you and I in a big bed. Are
we able to sleep on the plane?
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Actually, the sleep specialists told me that it would be
best not to sleep more than an hour on the
plane because when we landed it would be three o'clock
in the afternoon. So they tried. So I went along
with that sleep training and it's worked out well. I
don't really have jet lag. Wait, it should be the
(17:41):
soke hangovers, but I don't have any jet lag.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Do the Dodgers travel with a sleep specialist?
Speaker 8 (17:49):
No? But last year, Tim, the Dodgers went to start
the season in Soul Korea, okay, And they tapped into
sleep specialists for their players, and you know, players are
able to relay some of that information to me, and
so they have a pretty good handle on it for
this trip because obviously same time zone. So when you
(18:11):
have a group of athletes, you know they're well oiled machine.
You want to try to get the best out of them.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I got to get in that racket. I got to
be you know, I'm a sleep specialist. I don't know
if you know this. I could travel with the team
and tell people when to sleep and when they should
get up and all that craft. Hey, buddy, So when
the plane lands and you get off the plane and you, guys,
I imagine in a police escort to the hotel where
the streets I heard the streets were lined with a
million people.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know where you heard that from,
but they were lined with people just going about their
daily lives. Actually, the Dodgers went to great lengths to
try to avoid any of that beatle mania that you
remember seeing when they came to America because of the
popularity of these three Japanese superstars. Really, o Tani, I mean,
(19:00):
we're all being very polite when we cover this and
include the other two Japanese pitchers, but really, talking to
the Japanese media here, this is all about Otani. It's
the World Tour. He has generated millions, if not billions,
of dollars for the Dodgers in Major League Baseball over
the course of his career, and he's back home and
(19:23):
that's what people care about.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
You know, a lot of people don't know this, But
Shohe Otani last year was a rehab year, isn't that correct?
Speaker 8 (19:34):
Yeah, in the pitching sense exactly. He had elbow surgery
and rehab. He was exclusively a hitter.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Okay, in the rehab year. He went fifty to fifty.
He had more than fifty home runs and more than
fifty stone bases.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Yes, it was one of the single greatest regular seasons
by any player. It was truly a remarkable season to watch.
And when he hit those milestones him, he did them
with the dramatics. When he hit his fortieth home run,
it was a walk off Grand Slam. When he became
a fifty to fifty player, he almost hit for the cycle,
(20:11):
which means he came up a triple shy for the cycle,
hitting three home runs ten RBIs. That was probably the
single greatest regular season game I have seen from a player.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
That's amazing. Hey, so when you get there, I hope
you did the American thing and the first restaurant you
went to was like in McDonald's or KFC.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
I know somebody in the traveling party that actually went
to McDonald's and tried to tarry Yaki cheezburger and he
said it was awful. But I actually went to the
restaurant where they filmed the scenes from kill Bill last night.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Hey, I also heard that you went. You were interviewed
on a show last night, and you went to bars
and restaurants where they have no foreigners.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Exactly. The owner she gave me the X sign when
I walked in because they did not want any tourists
coming in. And it was a small sashimi place that
holds probably thirty people. There was one table available and
the name of the TV network is tv Asahi.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Like the beer.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
And they took me around this area of Tokyo called
Rapingo and they filmed me eating very very authentic Japanese food.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Would you eat What was the craziest thing you ate?
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Oh? I mean the sashimi was scallops, it was tuna,
and it was the tentacles from octopus. And I said, look,
I mean I'll only go so far. They said, no, perfect,
we want your honest reactions. So I was honest, I
couldn't go that far.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Makes it makes you want one of those crappy McDonald's
taraiaki burgers.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
Yeah, I was like, hey, do they have you know,
the yaqui silva noodles here? I mean, how about that, buddy.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I can't believe this. I mean, this is a huge
deal for you. And being able to travel with the
Dodgers like this, it's like a dream come true for you.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
It really is. Tim. I'm very fortunate and I've been
able over the course of the last fourteen years traveled
to a few different continents with the Dodgers, starting in
twenty fourteen when they went to Sydney, Australia to begin
the year, and last year Soul Korea now Tokyo, Japan.
With Otani. We also went to monitoring Mexico. That was
(22:39):
a crazy experience as well. So the Dodgers certainly are
are global brand and they're taking advantage of the big
market they are here in Japan.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I bet the Dodgers are if you asked them, signing
Otani to seven hundred million dollars was worth every single time.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
Without a doubt. I said it at the time, and
I'm even more confident about this. They are going to
make money off of seven hundred million dollars. They're not
losing money billions.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
What's a security like in the hotel? Crazy?
Speaker 8 (23:12):
Yeah, Actually it's a lot more secured than last year
in Soul, Korea, where the hotel management allowed fans to
line the lobby and media to line the lobby. Here
at the hotel that the team's staying at in Japan,
a lot more secure, a lot more private, and nobody's
attempted to try to you know, hang out and autograph seekers.
(23:34):
But I will say this, yesterday, Tim I went with
a group of players to watch a sumo wrestling practice,
and somehow, some way, these autograph seekers found out that
they were going to be there, and as soon as
three taxis unloaded with Dodger players, these Japanese fans emerged
(23:55):
seemingly out of nowhere and started shoving their cameras in
their face is to take selfies. So that was the
most you know fandom I've seen so far where it
wasn't really controlled right, And when.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
When is the first game? When do they play the
first game?
Speaker 8 (24:15):
Wow, March eighteenth, which is next Tuesday, I believe in
the States, and A five seventy is going to carry
it live which will be at three am, and also
replay it later in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
And I heard also when they went to batting practice
that they that the stadium was also filled with fans.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
Yeah. Can you believe they sold tickets yesterday for Dodgers'
workout and it was capped off at ten thousand people.
And O'tani didn't even take batting practice. He doesn't usually
take batting practice on the field. All he did was
emerge for a little bit out of the dugout, run
the bases maybe for ten minutes, and went back inside
(25:00):
and they never saw him again.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Buddy, this is you know, nineteen this is you know,
early nineteenth century or mid nineteenth century with Babe Ruth.
I mean, he's like the greatest, you know, athlete in
the world, the most well known athlete in the world.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
Yeah, without a doubt, without a doubt, this is Michael
Jordan level when he was at his peek here in Japan.
You see Otani billboards everywhere here in Tokyo, Japan, with
all the endorsements he has, from green Tea to watches, wow,
you name it, he has his face on it. And
(25:34):
that's the reason why you hear so many who reports
him that he makes upwards of one hundred million dollars
annually in endorsements here in Tokyo.
Speaker 12 (25:43):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Hey, did people bring their wives or and did Otani
bring his dog?
Speaker 8 (25:49):
Otani came alone. He did not bring decoy his wife's
state back as well. But the Dodgers did afford players
a plus one to be able to come on the plane.
There's a lot of demand. Uh, there was not enough
room to bring everybody's family, so they limited it to
a plus one.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Did did they offer you a plus one?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
They did?
Speaker 8 (26:13):
They said you could bring your luggage plus one.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
That's great, buddy. I love the fact that you're that
you're calling. I know you're hungover. You drink like a fish,
you know, like I do. I know you're between throat conway.
Actually great, I know it sounds like you're actually in
the toilet right now. Buddy. I can't believe you came
on with us. That's so cool. We really appreciate it,
(26:40):
and we want to have you on again. Uh maybe
from maybe Monday.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
Yeah sounds good. Actually, you know the reason what's going
on here in Tokyo the environment. This is a high
allergy season. Everybody's wearing a mask, not because they're trying
to avoid the flu, but the allergies are dus really bad.
So I may be. I'm glad I brought my clarity
in with me.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Conway, wait for you, buddy. I also heard in everybody
in Japan behaves. I would like to go there and
see that.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Oh yeah, great people, seriously great people. We can learn
a lot from them.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, it's the land of no a holes.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
I don't know if you know them one hundred percent.
I have not seen one a hole.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, and you won't.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Buddy.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I appreciate you coming on. Thank you, thank you, thank you,
and we'll keep following you on Instagram, on the gram
or insta ig whatever that is. And then the above,
all the above, buddy, I really appreciate you coming on.

social media so we can bang that out.

Angeles Dodger fan, grew up in Thousand Oaks, and it
became the hugest, biggest Dodger fan. And now he's working

travels with the Dodgers. That is a dream come true.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
kf I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Well, Alex Michaelson's with us from kt TV channel eleven.
How you bob.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Ding Dong with you?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Take me with you, buddy. I'm sorry, I'm so late here.
We were talking to David Vasse from Japan and he
was so excited to talk about the Dodgers. I kept
trying to get him off the phone because I wanted
to talk to you, but he wouldn't budge what.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
I'm excited about the Dodgers too. You go all the
way to Japan, you deserve some extra time.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
That's right, that's right. Where are you calling us from?
You calling us from Japan?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Yeah, I just went to West La.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
So you know WestLA. What's going on with the big
show tonight? The issue is I want to try to
slide that in, but I know you got to get
out of here. At fifty eight.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
We've got we've got the first interview for a sit down,
local interview with Katie Porter of her race for governor.
So we're talking to her, we're talking to Mike Madrid,
is very smart Republican political strategist. And then yesterday I
did a big sit down with Jane Fonda, Wow, who
is real frustrated with Governor Newsom for sitting down with
(29:30):
Steve Bannon for not doing more for oil for sort
of in her view, turning her back his back on
the environmental movement. She said, is he Churchill or Chamberlain?
And she says she's comparing him to Chamberlain basically an
appeasement policy with Trump. So there's some of that tonight
as well.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
But how can that side ever win if everyone gets
pissed that they talked to the other side.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
There's a that was that was my pushback.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Okay, I give you a star. Yeah, good job, buddy.
Speaker 12 (30:01):
Yeah all right.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
So Katy Porter, are you a little leerie about pushing
politicians like that on us? Because you gave us Mayor.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Bass Well to say, I gave you Mayor Basses a
little bit much as I more interviews with Rick Caruso
than anybody else did his launch interview, did the first
debate with him? Did he only sit down with his family?
I gave Rick carusa probably more airtime than I did
to may Baths, So that was. Can't blame that.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
One on me, But I knew that irritate you.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
But look, I'm not I we give everybody a fair shine.
I'm the only show that last week we had Charlie
Kirk and this week I had Jane Fonda's great doing
that right.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Look, I think I think you know from what your
mentor Tim Well, what's his name, tim My, Tim Russer,
I think he's the exactly the same guy. He would
have looked down on you and say we're looking down
you and saying great job.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I'd hope. So it's yeah, And I just met recently
with his old executive producer who was very complimentary of
the work I was doing, and that really meant a lot.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yeah, I think it's great. All right, So tonight Katie
Porter and a little bit of Jane fonded night at
ten thirty on Chenne eleven.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Yeah, and then next week, next week we have a
whole half hour special with Jane Fond. Also talked with Julia,
Luis Dreyfus, Seinfeld and Viet Same and it was a
really interesting event. And then talk to the oil company
and got their side too, because we know there's a
whole other side of that and a lot of people
that are put to work and a lot of people
that like cheap gas.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
But doesn't Julia Louise Dreyfus come from gas money.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
I don't know where all the money of her family
comes from. I should look into that, but it's oil money.
She certainly against the idea of that.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Oh really, Well, next time you run into her, ask
her where she got all her money from, because she
got it from her dad, who used to run the
oil business.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Although I think she's made a few dollars from Seinfeld.
Speaker 8 (32:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I heard it. That deal. That deal was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I get that by oil money. Oil money, Alex, Yeah,
oil money with Julie, Luise, Jeffs. Look it up a
ton of it. Are you running in the marathon?
Speaker 3 (32:18):
I am not running in the amrathon? No interest in that?
Are you?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I would look down on you if you did.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
I did a half marathon one time. At the end
they said, do you want to do a full? I
said no, I don't want to do a half.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Buddy. I drove back. I drove back twenty six miles
from Huntington Beach last yesterday afternoon. I was exhausted. Right, yeah,
you know the only reason people run a marathon. What's
that to tell everybody that they ran a marathon?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
