Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Alex Michaelson is
with us from Fox eleven News.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
I've only been with Fox eleven.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
News seven years last week. Really, I was gonna say
two or three. Yeah, seven years.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
That's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah, so that means we've been doing this about yeah,
probably around seven years.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
And you came from ABC ABC seven. Do you miss
the news people at ABC some of them? Yeah? Any names?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Hey, great people there, Mark Brown and David Oh.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I like Bark Brown. I text Mark Brown all the time.
He's a class when I'm buzz. But I text Mark Brown.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
What do you text? What's your drunk dial? To Mark Brown?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Like I could read it for you. I guess yeah,
let me see. I'm sure he'll appreciate this. Let's see
Mark Brown and let's have erased it? Brownie? Me our
own number and Mark Brown?

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Do you have his text numbers?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
You heck of a job, Brownie? Yeah, I have a
eco joffer. Do you want me to say it now?
I've erased.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I went through today and erased like six hundred texts
because I had dirty picked I didn't have enough enough
room on my phone, Okay, so I went through and
erased a lot of crap. Okay, lots of.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
It was good. We love them and Ellen Lava is
great and Philip Palmer the.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Whole that's great. People, all right, TikTok is a big deal.
You're you're a young guy. You're thirty eight. You've been
saying you're thirty eight for a while.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Man, Yep, just staying on that.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, you're going to stay with us works for you,
It works, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
TikTok is a big deal. To find out what's going
on with an update.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Now on the future of TikTok here in the United States.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
He's great.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
An update now on the future of TikTok here in
the United States. President Trump has announced over the weekend
that he is in talks with multiple people over buying
the company. People with knowledge of the discussion say the
sale likely involves software company Origle, along with several outside
invent investors.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
What's going to happen there, you're on the you're in
the No.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Trump's trying to pressure them to sell to an American company.
An Oracle is owned by Larry Ellison, who was buddies
with Trump, who was just at the White House last
week for this AI announcement of five hundred billion dollars
for this thing called Stargate.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
So the Chinese killed that today.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, well right with this deep seek that made the
whole thing look ridiculous. But so Oracle might get an inside,
you know, help from Trump.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Well, you know where I think Trump made a mistake
is he said, Look, he said, we're going to try
to buy this, but that company's got to be worth
a trillion dollars.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
I wouldn't have said that.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well, he said it's worth a trillion dollars with us,
he said without us, it's worth zero nothing.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Under the deal, TikTok's parent company would still retake a
steak in the company, but Oracle would control data collection
and software updates.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
From that seems like a good marriage Oracle and the Chinese. Right, Yeah,
thing do wrong with them.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Here in the United State. But Oracle isn't the only
interested buyer. The new proposal, from a company called Perplexity AI,
says that TikTok's owner would not have to completely cut
ties with TikTok, but would have to allow a US
board of control. The new proposal would allow the US
government to own up to half of its new structure.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Now, how are they allowed to do this if it's
a Chinese company and the Chinese put together a better
algorithm that anyone else could put together, why are we
trying to take this from the Chinese.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Well, the feeling is by some Republican and Democratic lawmakers
is that it's basically spyware that China has installed in
all of our phones. And it's basic a massive national
security threat that allows China to spy on all of us. Okay,
but can't they spy without it? They're certainly an argument
for that. Maybe they'll use their new site deep seek

(03:53):
to do that.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Here's what I think it is, And you tell me
if I'm off my rocker here, Okay. I think that
the pressure from UH to buy TikTok or to cancel
TikTok or dissolve it is coming from Facebook, Twitter, Meta, Instagram.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
They don't want the competition.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
And so what you just said is one company owned
by Mark Zuckerber. Fine, yeah, except for Twitter.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, but they they they don't the people in charge
of social media and in this country don't want the
competition from the Chinese.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, certainly it would be good for Instagram reels if
TikTok went away.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Right, So they say that it's spywhere but they just
don't want the competition.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Do you think the entire government, both parties, is on
the on the take from on this one?

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Would it? Would it? Would it shock you?

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Well, here's one thing I have I have pressed you know,
Kime Jefferies, who was the minority leader, about what is
the actual evidence in terms of TikTok that you're concerned about?

Speaker 5 (04:52):
What?

Speaker 1 (04:52):
What are you talking about? You it's classified? Okay to
my point? Right right, I'll say it's classified.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
All right, Let's get into the snow. The grape Vine
is back open closed. They have the snow and ice.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Fide Freeway near the grape Vine here wide open, the
northbound lanes, traffic flowing right into the grape Vine without delay.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
How long has Leo Stalwarth's been around a long time.
He's one of those years. He's one of those say
it like it is kind of guys.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
True.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
He doesn't be as anybody.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
Overnight, and for a good chunk of the morning, it
was a different story. Before the noon hour. The California
Highway Patrol conducting a few escorts through the grape Vine
before fully reopening the highway to motorists. This after last
night's snowstorm, leaving a trunk of the road covered in
snow and ice.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Although I will say Leo Stalwarth last week was great.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
He was about seven maybe eight miles away from the
cast steak fire and still had the fire coaton, the
fire pans.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
The fire had got to be ready ready, I know
it's going on.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
The dangerous conditions prompting closure of a portion of the
five freeway through the Grapevine overnight and for most of
the morning. Bad was it overnight?

Speaker 3 (06:05):
It was pretty bad.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Man, someone who's not experienced, you know, driving in the snow.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
It's amazing that they close that. I mean, we forget
how what the altitude is there. It's very high.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
It's like fifty five or seventy five hundred feet at
the peak. Yeah, and it gets really icy there.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
It really has really cold, really dangerous. And if you've
driven the Grapevine many.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Times, done that same story that Lea has done, probably
times that I want to count.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
You know, where I think the most dangerous part of
the Grapevine is is coming from back from Baker's Field
to Valencia. The first upgrade there where the trucks are
going eight miles an hour everybody else is going eighty
miles an hour. And the winding freeway there is horrible.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Right, it scares the hell out of it.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
You gotta get out, yeah, right, kind of like the
one ten freeway when it twist towards Pasadena, right, which
he is like a thousand years old, like the first freeway,
and then you got to jam out onto it.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
You have to go zero to sixty and eight feet
right to get on the Aurora sak or where I
call that stupid thing.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
And it's not built for you know, today's cars. It's
like for like a buggy, right make its way out there.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
And there are a lot of cars that don't have
to get up and go to get on that though.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
You gotta really and then you panic.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
No, But if you had a really nice sports car,
which I don't, that probably would be fun.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
When we come back, there was something else I wanted
to play for you here, and it was, oh, okay,
I the FEMA. If you have a go Fundme and
you have FEMA, they might cancel each other. Out and
you might owe FEMA some money.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
We learned this during your interview with Michael Brown earlier
in that Isn't It horrible?

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yes, So you gotta be watch.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
You gotta watch what you say on your GoFundMe and
if you say it it's it's to help me rebuild
my house, then you might have to give some of
that money back to FEMA.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
So we'll come back, we'll talk about that.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Alex Michaelson's whether it's from Fox eleven news, that guy's great.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway, jun your may from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Alex Michaelson is with us. You're a sports fan, love sports?
You played basketball, Yes, I are you a What are
your teams Lakers, Kings, yep, Dodgers, Rams, Rams, Trojans, Trojans.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, that's been a rough run.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Hunt been a rough front, yes for a while.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Our coaches, well, Mike version of the coach. Do you
see Pete Carroll's going at the Raiders, that's right, Yeah,
and he's the eighth ninety three, doesn't matter. He's got
that young ViBe's amazing.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
He's seventy's got that.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
But you know what Okay, I don't I don't mind
the guy, but I find it really weird that nobody
ever asks him about the worst call in the history
of the NFL.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Marshawn Lynn, marsha Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
You're responsible for the worst call in the history of
the NFL, and nobody asked about it.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
And also not a great call in the game that
he against Texas when it was fourth and two and
the running it.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Was, Oh that's what he was with USA, Yes.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, yeah, Also not a great call.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
And his decision to leave the school when he knew
the sanctions were coming and the whole thing was about
to explode behind him was also not great.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
He did the same thing with Seattle. He let them
crumble and he took off his motto is win forever,
but I guess not. Yeah, yeah, win until it gets
too tight and he pressed on but we left.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Did he sign a big deal with the Raiders.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
I don't know the terms. I'm sure they announced it,
but yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
FEMA has a problem with people raising money and gofund me.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
You have to be very careful with what you say
because FEMA isn't going to give you money if you
say the wrong thing. And they'll look into it too. Yeah,
all right, here's the story here. We got that our
government at work trying to save us money. How about that?

Speaker 5 (09:43):
Right?

Speaker 7 (09:44):
Peop to be very careful when setting up their go
fund Me accounts if they're asking for government assistant assistance,
because there could be dire consequences.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Oh no.

Speaker 7 (09:53):
The devastating and deadly California wildfires have driven thousands of
people to create go fund Me accounts like the.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
You know, I don't know which ones to give to.
There's so many out there, you know. Friends constantly send
me the GoFundMe account and say, hey, can you talk
about these on the air? And I must have gotten
seventy requests. Yeah, and I feel bad for every one
of them. Every one of them is a heartbreaking story.
But I don't know who to give to, and how
much to give to and who really needs it.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
I prefer giving to, like the American Red Cross or
one of the organizations.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Is that what you did?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
We took clothes down to the American Red Cross and
they said they're not taking any more clothes. And then
my wife, my wife and daughter had five bags of
clothes that they either don't wear anymore or they were
brand new, and they didn't want to wear mostly gifts
from me because I don't have much taste in clothing.
Like when I first started dating my wife. This is

(10:48):
back in nineteen ninety seven. All I knew about her
is that she was running a construction company for her dad,
and so on her birthday we weren't going out very long,
and on her birthday I gave her and I get goosebumps.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
I cringe when I think about this.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
I gave her a gray pantsuit. Then I learned that
she was like a surfer, you know, rat that hang
out at the beach with her friends and blow the
little wheat.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
She was in a pants suit.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Didn't work out.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
I never wore it.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
I guess it worked out in the end, though she
never wore it once.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Okay, yeah, but anyway, So they had five bags of
clothes that they took to one charity.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
They didn't want it. Then they took another charity. They
didn't want it.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
They do Will, good Will, they didn't want it. They
were driving all over LA with these clothes and nobody
wants them. What they really want is money, right, But
I guess everybody has enough clothing.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Well, some of The problem is they end up getting
clothing that they don't have a place for, and then
storing the clothing becomes an expense, and it becomes becomes
a whole logistical challenge.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
But when I was younger and I would go to
the good will, those people would be very happy to
see me and take everything I had, and they thank
me and they gave me a receipt and they said
please come back.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah, I don't get that anymore.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Now I get the Oh, we don't take that now
that's broken. Hey, hey, hey, keep that in your truck.
We're not the Hey, a scumbag, We're not taking your
old crap. That's horrible. That's a horrible way to look
at it. Yeah, they need new attitudes. Okay at these
charity atter customer service.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
That's charity.

Speaker 7 (12:22):
That's right, seeking much needed help. But it's important to
note this could impact your request for FEMA assistance.

Speaker 8 (12:29):
If you are using go fund me.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Okay, listen to this. Listen to this. This is very
important if you're using go GoFundMe. I know sometimes you
half asked listen to the show, and you can't half
ask this. This could mean a lot of money for you,
all Right, so listen to this. Please listen to this.
If you're doing GoFundMe and you're getting FEMA assistance, if you.

Speaker 8 (12:48):
Are using go fund me and applying for FEMA, they
have to be towards different things. Okay, so you need
to specify in your GoFundMe what you are using that towards,
and it can't be towards the same things that you
are using your FEMA assistance for when creating your goalfund.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
But then how do you do that? How do you
set up a GoFundMe. And if your house is burned
down and not mention your house is burned.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Down, I think Gena is about to tell you, let's.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Get back to Gina.

Speaker 7 (13:18):
When creating your goalfund me campaign, it's best to avoid
phrases like help us rebuild. Instead focus on requesting help
for needs that FEMA will not cover.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Okay, that's a good idea.

Speaker 8 (13:30):
Like what one thing that I think is important to
emphasize is FEMA assistance cannot be used towards anything that
you have insurance for. FEMA assistance is specifically geared towards
things that are uninsured or underinsured losses.

Speaker 7 (13:47):
If you are insured and you still apply for FEMA
and receive funding, you could face serious legal consequences, including
criminal charges.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Whoa wait a minute, criminal charges. I'm not going to
just claw the money back. They're going to put you
in jail. Wow, that's outrageous.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
That seems to be a little.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
So if you have a GoFundMe tonight to build on
the stress of losing your home, losing your school, losing
your car, losing your job. Now you got to worry
about being thrown in jail because you have a GoFundMe.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
That seems like a little bit too much government.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
It seems harsh.

Speaker 8 (14:20):
Yes, so they can actually come back to you on
the back end and ask for that money back, and
there can be criminal charges for defrauding the government if
you do try to use both.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Did you hear that they're going to charge you for
defrauding the government.

Speaker 8 (14:39):
There can be criminal charges for defrauding the government if
you do try to use both.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Wow, what happened? These poor people who are just trying
to get back on their feet. Now they got to
take down their GoFundMe and worry about going to jail.
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Bottom line?

Speaker 7 (14:56):
FEMA cannot pay for benefits that you've already seen received
either from insurance or from GoFundMe accounts.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Ah, that's a mistake. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Shout out to Fox eleven's Genus Silva. I love the
reporters over there at Fox eleven News.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
All right, Weimo is in the news. Have you taken
a waymo?

Speaker 1 (15:15):
I haven't? Have you want to?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
I would love to. I'd be one of those guys
that fall asleep in the back. I trust that technology.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
I do too. And you know, isn't it amazing that
we don't hear about any crashes because it would be
huge news if there was one. Right, well, this must
be the greatest driver, this robot. We are Croz and
I talked about this.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Whenever there's an accident on the four or five or
Wiltshire Boulevard, Santa Monica, Sherman Way, whatever.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
If there's a truck, they say a truck hit a car. Whatever.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
But man, if it's a Tesla, they always mentioned it's
a Tesla always always.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
I don't get that. Is that just hatred?

Speaker 1 (15:55):
If it's in self driving load, that's a whole difference.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Well, even if it's not, they always mentioned the name
of the car Tesla and I think that's because a
lot of people in this city hate Elon Musk.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
There is a lot of hatred of him. Yeah, and
that's why he's one of the great inventors, and they
try to drag him down with his car. Do you
have a Tesla? No? You ever had an electric car? No,
I've never had a place to charge it. I've never
even an apartment, so it doesn't I've never even been
driven in an electric car really never. Tesla's great. I
wish I had a Tesla. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Mark Thompson has a Tesla. That makes sense. Yeah, he's
got a lot of money. He's got a lot of money,
that guy.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Are we gotta take it by you hang with us? Yes,
all right, you want to.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
I know that you're gonna, you know, eventually, you would
like to fill in here when when one of us,
you know, has a massive heart attack.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
At least that's what you told belly On.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
I actually specified when you have a heart attack. That's
my plan. You're gonna feel horrible when I have a
heart attack. And they play that on the air. Yeah,
I brought my mom's cookies, but you don't know what
they're laced with.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Your mom's the best.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
What's your name again, Carrie, Crystal Cristal is the best.
She's an artist and a baker.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
She a baker is an artist or an artist is
a baker. She's an artist who's a baker? Okay, what
does that mean? That flip flopp thing you do?

Speaker 1 (17:11):
She's really an artist, that's what she is, all right.
She's great though, the baking is great.

Speaker 6 (17:17):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Six forty, Alex Michaelson's Weathers from Fox eleven News.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
He's stopped by for the first time.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
First time with you doing this. Yeah, it's fair and
I is it bigger than you thought, better than you thought,
worse than you thought, duller than you thought, worse, worse lovers, No,
it's better, honestly. I love the energy here is great
and the way the crew worships you is amazing to

(17:50):
see in person.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, they used to worship me a little more and
then they got their Christmas gift and it's been silence
since then.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
What can you do?

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Hey, look, they went down.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
You know, if I had a big day at the track,
they would have had a nice gift. But they go
down with the ship. You know, do you ever gamble
a little bit?

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Not as much?

Speaker 3 (18:11):
What's your game?

Speaker 1 (18:13):
I don't know. It's sports, blackjack or craps or sometimes sports, or.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
When you play football.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
When you play blackjack, do you bet five dollars a
ten twenty five hundred twenty five twenty five dollars?

Speaker 9 (18:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
I'll tell you quick story about the gambling. I was
in Vegas with my wife and I got drunk, and
so I was betting twenty five bucks a hand. Then
I jacked up to fifty a hand, and I wasn't
playing long. May have been down a couple hundred bucks
or up a couple hundred bucks. And then she was
always the one to remind us. And we learned this

(18:47):
from Tim Rustard. Tim Rustard has a very popular saying.
He said, when you drink, you've got to remember to eat.
That was in his book and he also said that
on a show. So she was always the one to
remind us when we're in Vegas. Hey, we've been drinking.
She doesn't drink anymore. We've been drinking for four or
five hours.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
We got to eat. I'm like, oh. And then she said,
if it's Sunday, it's meet the Prince. So we're at
Mandalay Bay. I quit gambling.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
We go into the cafe there, one of those twenty
four hour coffee shops. I get, you know, taketos, and
she gets chicken tacos or something, and then she says
to the waiter, can I get a side of sour cream?
She asked for a side of sour cream and the
guy says, yeah, it's going to be extra. And I
say to the waiter how much is it? And before

(19:41):
the waiter says anything, my wife said, you're betting fifteen
dollars a m and you're asking this guy how much
my side of sour cream is going to be. I'm like, well,
I know you don't eat it all, You take like
one or two bites. I said how much is it?
And the guy said it's a quarter. I said, oh,
we'll take it, big time baby ticket. So that was

(20:02):
one of my experiences in Vegas. Then I went there
on my anniversary with my wife and she loves Neil Diamond,
Big Neil Diamond, Caroline. So guess who was in Vegas.
We're there Neil Diamond, Big Night. I you're getting lucky tonight.
I get tickets. Yeah, I get two sweet tickets back
about fifty sixty e ros.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
You know, I'm not a front row guy.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
And I get her bombed before we go, right, so
she can enjoy dance, take her heels off, and enjoys
some So should we get in.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
There, come and to America?

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yeah right, yeah, we're coming to America.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
We're wall and sweet Caroline bomb.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
So she goes, she goes, whoa, She goes, I'm gonna
go down. There's a mosh pit in front. She goes,
I'm gonna go down. Let's go down and dance.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Whoo.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no no, let's just sit back here.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
She's no, no, I'm going to dance, and she splits right
without me.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
So you're you're, you're gone.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
She goes down to the front row. I'm sitting in back.
Two minutes later, she's got her heels in her hand,
she's got her jacket over he shoulder, and she comes
back and she goes, let's go. Uh oh, I go,
what's going on? She goes, you know what's going on?
I said, I know what's going on. She goes, let's go.

(21:25):
So we get outside and she goes, why didn't you
tell me? I said, because you were buzzed and you
were having a good time. It wasn't Neil Diamond. It
was Surreal Neil.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
It was a Neil Diamond, Neil Diamond cover cover gun,
and she wouldn't have noticed that she hadn't gone to
the front.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
I tried to sell it as Neil Diamond and I
was working. It was working for three or four soul.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah, and then she's like, let's get out of hereront
road didn't work. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
On her anniversary, you tried to bs me thinking that's
Neil Diamond.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
It's Surreal Neil.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
I was good, was good, it was great. You couldn't
tell the difference.

Speaker 6 (22:02):
She couldn't.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well, she could have fift she got closer.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Here's my tip.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Maybe should have been on the upper level or something
so you couldn't get down there.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
He's a good tip.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Gang, if you're going to Surreal Neil, get tickets that
are fifty to sixty rows back and lock her in
that stint. Don't let her get up and dance. Man,
that was a long night. Yes, yeah, it's a long night.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
It didn't end up well for you.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Probably no I end up buying her, like, I don't know,
some shoes called Fendi's.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
What that is that's expensive?

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah, three or four.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Hundred bucks on shoes. I think we're cool after that. Okay,
it well worked out.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
But I love it because she likes the gamble and
I like the gamble. She used to drink. She doesn't
drink anymore, so she drives. It's great.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
So what do you play in Vegas? I play everything.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
I play slot machines, I play craps, Baker, everything that's open.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
What's your hotel of choice?

Speaker 3 (22:55):
I love I go to locally. I go to Moronco.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
When I go to Vegas, good time. I like Belagio,
you know, fountains. Yeah, there's a cool vibe about It's
still pretty classic.

Speaker 8 (23:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
It's it's they keep it clean for a hotel that's
been around for twenty twenty five years. It's still very
clean and which I which I is a big deal
to me. And they got a couple of new towers
with new suites and stuff. So it turned into a
live read here for realh my gosh. Yeah, well Marongo
is one of your sponsors, is it not?

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Marongo? I got to Wrongo all the time. I love Marongo,
but I'm talking about Vegas. I got Baio, but I
heard it is a great hotel from Mark Thompson.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Is the Wind. The Wind is spectacular. That's really nice,
but it's expensive. Yeah, where do you stay? I haven't
been three Space. Yeah, three Space kind of an offshoot place, right,
it's been a while. My wife and I stayed everywhere.
We went to Vegas once and we and we didn't
have reservations. And I guess we went during a big conference.
There's nothing available and GM, you know, Caesar is everything.

(23:56):
They you know, everything was taken Mandalay Bay, and so
we end up having to get a small motel room
off the strip. And it was I think it was
called the Three of Spades, which is a horrible name
for a hotel.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
It's like the worst card you can have dealt to you.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
And and we go to the and I went to
the bathroom, and then it was to the bathroom. The
floors are all sloped to the middle and there's a drain.
And so I said to the one of the weight,
one of the you know, the guys who worked at
the hotel, the maids, I said, Hey, what's going on
with this h with the bathroom.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
It slopes down, there's a drain, and.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
He said, yeah, in case something goes real bad in
the in the bathroom, we could just hose it down.
I said, well, what's gone real bad? He goes, well,
there's a murder, Like, oh Christ, wait a minute. After
a murder, you can hose down the bathroom. Easy action, God,
get rid of the blood.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Yeah right, that's exactly what they're doing. Yeah, all right,
we'll come back.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
We got one more story, one more segment with you, right,
let's do it ding dong with ding dog with you?

Speaker 9 (24:58):
All right?

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Better than the Three of Spades story, that's right, all right.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Conway with Phil Schuman, we're live on I mean Ellens, Alex, Michael, Tim.

Speaker 6 (25:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I Am sixty.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Alex went to the fifth floor to see all the
cool FM stations up there, and you walk up our
very expensive stairway.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, it's really something else. Yeah, wanted to have a
direct line to you, apparently evidently, but it looks like
it's a it's a hot station. Is that where you
and Ryan Seacrest hang out?

Speaker 2 (25:33):
That's right, Yeah, that's right me and and also Striker
friends with Striker, Booker and Striker.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
You know those guys are yeah, of course, do you really? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (25:46):
I do.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
My sister used to work in radio ad sales.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Wow, what a brag.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, she used to sell for Striker, all right. I
met him at events.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Is that right? He's a good guy. I like that guy,
all right.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
My stepsister once removed. Her name is Karen Beatty. I
went to her retirement party, and she's been working with
the City of Ventur the County of Ventor up there
for quite some time. I think she's with the trauma unit.
She saved a lot of lives over her. I don't
know her career up there, and she's on with us.

Speaker 8 (26:18):
Karen.

Speaker 9 (26:18):
How are you, Hey? How are you doing, Tim? I'm
doing great?

Speaker 6 (26:22):
Karen?

Speaker 3 (26:22):
What is your great? What was your occupation? Exact title?

Speaker 9 (26:27):
Uh? It changed a few times while I was there,
but I retired with Specialty Systems Coordinator Trauma Manager.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (26:35):
That's a big deal like that. So yeah, I was.
You're up there.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
For the fires.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Must have been a huge deal for for you and
and your whole crew.

Speaker 9 (26:48):
Yeah, you know, we had that Thomas fire and then
recently the Mountain fire, and yeah, you know when those
situations happened, that's that's what we're trained for. And I
love it. I'm gonna miss it, but you know, if
they need me, all volunteers still. Yeah, but I keep
my foot in the door.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
I thought, because you know, you're somewhat related to me,
that there was gonna be three guys smoking cigarettes and
an old you know bar. But you it was the
Marriotte and you had two hundred people there to come say,
you know, great job and great career. That's a big deal.
You got to be good at what you do. You
got to be honest and have a sense of humor
to have that many people show.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Up at the end.

Speaker 9 (27:26):
Yeah, I was. I was so excited that everyone was
there to share that moment with me. And you know,
when you're working in the medical field and trauma and
stuff like that, you really become a family. Like they
talk about with fire departments and emergency rooms. Were just
like a family, and they were all there for me
tonight of that night. And of course my brother from

(27:47):
another mother and my sister from another step mother. However
our relationship is. But I'm so glad you guys could
make it as well.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, you and Kelly were so great, as was you know,
Jackie and Charlot. When my dad was, you know, coming
towards the end of his life. You really I think
that you know that the women in our family prolonged
and helped him and and may and let him live
another two maybe three years at the end of his life.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
And I'll never ever be able to repay you for that.

Speaker 9 (28:18):
Yeah, that was a good thing. Well, you could take
me gambling, show me how to do that.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Well, okay, now that you mention that, Yeah, she's looking
for payment. It's basically what she's saying.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Now that Okay, now that you've mentioned that, I will
say that my dad used up all the money he's
ever made on those last three years of his life
and I got nothing.

Speaker 9 (28:39):
Oh shoot, what about all the money you've.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Made on the horses that you could send her way
so you couldn't mind your own business?

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Not Karen?

Speaker 9 (28:46):
There you go, there you go.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
What are you going to do? Now?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
What are you going to do now that you're retiring?
What's gonna happen with your job? Is somebody else gonna
take it? What's going on with the trauma unit.

Speaker 9 (28:55):
Yeah, yeah, so not to worry. Even Jerry County's in
good hands. I've been training another nurse's name is Kyle,
and he's going to be taking my place, and I
taught him.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Well, I hope you don't look with them.

Speaker 9 (29:06):
Well find that out.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Without Who's in the background, is there's somebody translating this?

Speaker 9 (29:12):
Well, yeah, you know what happened is because you were
asking me what am I going to do?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Now?

Speaker 9 (29:16):
You know how everybody says I'm going to Disneyland. Well
I went to Universal Studios today.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Oh, good for you.

Speaker 9 (29:21):
And now we're at a Mexican restaurant to finish off
with another shot and we'll be good, excellent.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Well, I will say this without crapping on LA or
you know or any other you know, Orange County. Every
time there's an emergency in Ventura, you guys really operate
as one. I mean, it's really a special community to
live in, and you guys are very attentive to the
needs of your citizens up there, and I think you should.
You don't get enough credit for that, you know.

Speaker 9 (29:49):
Yeah, that you bring that up, it's really really true.
Are all of our agencies we work so well together,
and I think it's a lot about training and exercising.
We do a lot of exercises, so we're prepared. But yeah,
I mean we you know, knock it out. And I
think that's because we're just a good team effort here
in Ventore County. So I love it.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
It's also a very beautiful it's a beautiful community to
raise kids and to uh and to just be a
part of. Karen, I thank you for the invite to
that party. I thought it was great and the food
was terrific. It stayed down, which is you know, half
the battle with me, which.

Speaker 9 (30:22):
Is nice, good, good. Glad to hear that.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
I enjoy your meal, and thank you for a great career.

Speaker 9 (30:30):
All right, thank you so much. We'll later you got it.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
There she goes.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Did you notice she said she's taking shots at this dinner,
which is is the way people prepare for an appearance
on the Tim Conway Junior Show.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
You know her.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Father, guy named Roger Beattie, one of my dad's best friends,
was married to the same woman as my dad was
my really yeah, he was Eskimo bro was the director
of the caber Net Show toward towards the end, and
he divorced and my dad married his ex. That's whose

(31:03):
Karen's dad is. And then my dad and Rogers stayed
best friends throughout the whole thing.
