The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (7.13)
Everyone knows the massive campus at Beverly and Fairfax, but how many realize it’s the legendary Television City? The iconic CBS production facility opened in the 1950s and has hosted an incredible list of shows — “Three’s Company,” “The Carol Burnett Show,” “All in the Family,” “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Family Feud,” “Dancing with the Stars,” and so many more. Now there’s serious chatter that the sprawling studio lot could be sold, with the current private owner battling heavy debt. What would they turn it into — condos? A hotel? That sounds like traffic Armageddon!
Meanwhile, we’ve got four teams left in the FIFA World Cup: England, France, Spain, and Argentina, so get ready for those national anthems — and yes, even Madonna has sung the Argentine one, ding-dong! Up in space, there’s talk of a giant “space mirror” satellite that could reflect sunlight back to Earth on demand. Closer to home, Paramount and Warner Bros. are threatening to pull out of California if Governor Newsom and AG Rob Bonta block their merger — we’ve gotta keep Hollywood in Hollywood! And finally, Timmy wants to know: Why doesn’t Culver City want an In-N-Out?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camp I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.

That's right, Timmy. Why he's a little lamb with a
lot too. He's always having such a lot of fun,
A lot of fun, little lamb with a lot too, Lamb.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yeah. Hey, there's a.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
There's a place that I think everybody knows, but you
may not know the long history and how much it's
meant to Hollywood. But if you pass Beverly and Fairfax
and you look on the west east, let me see
the southeast corner of Fairfax and Beverly, you will see
(00:58):
a building there and that's known as Television City. CBS
opened up that building I think in the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
They have been even like nineteen fifty.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
And so for the last eighty six years, seventy six years,
last seventy six years, they filmed a lot of television
that you would know in that building, a lot of it.
And now they might sell this building and then you know,
turn it into a grove or you know, hopefully a
(01:30):
seven to eleven and a Starbucks, don't leave them out,
but another you know, a juice place, an expensive grocery store, cleaners,
you know, mini mall, maybe a place to cash a
check when nobody else will cash that for you. You know,
just everything that La needs. And they this is a store,
(01:53):
this is a production facility that I bet there's twenty
five shows that you know by heart. You can tell
me the plot, you can tell me the game, you
can tell me that the people involved in it. I
bet there's twenty five or more shows that were shot
in that building that you watched as a kid, or
(02:15):
your or your parents watched, or perhaps you still watch
because they still do a lot of production there. I'll
tell you some of them. Okay, and Krozier, I know
that that you loved. You're a Big Three's company fan.
Oh yeah, and Jack A tripper was one of the
reasons John Ritter was one of the reasons you got
into show business.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Absolutely the reason I came out here. Yeah, he kind
of made me. I saw what he did as a
latch key kid and made me feel good, made people laugh,
and the physical comedy that it had been nothing too outrageous.
That's why I also what love like your Dad and
Don Knoles that same sort of vibe. And he was
a Ridder was for me, you know, because of me
growing up that time period hit sweet for me. And
(02:56):
when I did some stuff on stage, it kind of
gave me that same feel.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
And I got a chance to tell him that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And he was a great aswe I didn't know you
met him.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
I met him on the I talked to him on
the phone.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Really.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
He was on a talk show that I was working
with a years ago, about a month before he died.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
He was on with Michael Jackson, talk show host.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
You know, I think he had the same heart attack
that Lindsey Graham had where that I ordered, you know,
rips and it's the window maker, the outer.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
The ortic terror.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yeah, but you know they filmed, uh, the Carburnet Show
was filmed there too, a studio thirty three and the
studio right next door was the Three Company Studio. And
I I'll bet you anything, Krozier that you can remember, uh,
you know, the time of day and the feeling and
(03:45):
the time of year where you sat down. I can't
remember what day that came on? Was a Tuesday?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Tuesdays?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Okay, Tuesday when that came When that came on? And
you heard that from the other room. You know that
was something else.
Speaker 8 (03:59):

What shows you look at now it's like, that's a
great example of Oh, I don't know how well that
would carry today.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Right at the time, it was good stuff, man, Right,
every show was the same, you know, like, wait a minute,
what did I hear?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
What did he mean?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Was it mister Furley or mister Roper working on the
pipe in the bathroom morstairs? And here's half of a
conversation between Jack and Chrissy. And then it's like, oh,
don't put that there, but it happens, But that means
completely innocuous.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Yeah, it comes right through the floor register and you're
fixing the heat or you're right, yeah, now he hears
half of it. But that show was filmed right around
towards the end of the Cabernet Show run, and so
we'd slide over there and watch them record.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
That show is great.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
So let me read some of the shows they were
a shot at Television City, because I think you'll know
twenty to twenty five of them.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Alice is one of them.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
All in the Family, the Cabernet Show, Three's Company, Bold
and Beautiful for you what you know, daytime freaks out there.
It goes back to Burns and Allen card Sharks was there.
One of my sister's favorite shows, Sonny and Cher was
shot there at the studio, right next door to thirty
three Dancing with the Stars, The Dennis Miller.
Speaker 9 (05:55):
Live Family Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
There is that, right, Yeah, I was just gonna mention
that American idol.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Dennis Miller Family Feud. Glenn Campbell's show was there. The
Hollywood Squares Jefferson's another huge, huge hit. When Letterman was
in LA he would do his show there, you know,
two three times a year. The Tom Snyder Show, Mama's Family, Everybody,
Mama's Family, Maud Murph Griffin Show, Mike Douglas Show, One
(06:24):
Day at a Time, politically incorrect, the Bill Mahers Show
as well, The Ropers, which was a spin off of
Three's Company. It was very limited, that's right, Roseanne was
shot there. The Smothers Brothers Laughing I believe Laughing may
and may not been there. Tony Orlando was there and
(06:45):
also Welcome Back Codder. All of those programs were shot
in that building.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
I think that was the same studio.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Gary Owens, who used to be on Laughing, used to
talk about that was also he used to share the
dressing room with Dean Martin when Dean Martin the Dean
Martin Show was there.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Oh that's why.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Yeah, But he used to talk about how Dean Martin
would would let Gary use his his dressing room because
he was never there at the same time and Dean
would always just show up at the last time.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
You know, Angel Martinez, you have a connection to that
building as a child. Your dad worked there, Yeah, he did.
Speaker 10 (07:20):
He was He was a cameraman for Glenn Campbell, Sonny
and Share, and then briefly, you know, for a few
months for Carol Burnett.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
How many years did your dad worked.
Speaker 11 (07:30):
There, Oh, probably, I'm going to I don't know exactly.
I'm going to guess about maybe five or five or
six years. Right around there.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You knew the commissary, you know, he was next door
to Farmer's market. That's probably a big you know, he's
probably great memories.
Speaker 10 (07:48):
Oh yeah, yeah. I'd go there on dress rehearsal days
for the different shows, especially Sonny and Cher and Carol Burnett,
and you know, we'd hit the.
Speaker 11 (07:58):
Farmer's market afterward.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's the best, have a great time.
Speaker 12 (08:03):
All right.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Well, it looks like they may sell this building, so
we come back.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
We'll tell you who's gonna buy it, who's gonna sell it,
and what they're gonna put there. But man, what a
piece of Hollywood history. If we lose that, then everything
is susceptible. Everything is fair game. You lose a place
like that with all those beautiful shows.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
They don't think any building is safe.
Speaker 13 (08:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
A lot of people who work in Los Angeles, especially
in West la or in the Fairfax area, you know
Librea area tarpets are you know Television City. It's been
there probably your whole life. It was built in nineteen
fifty and now they're thinking of selling. It's on Fairfax
and Beverly, on the southeast corner of that intersection and
(08:58):
Canter's Delhi. Is there a very famous deli that's been
there a long long time, maybe even longer than the studio,
And so it's been there seventy six years and now
they're thinking of selling it and God only knows what
they're gonna do with it. So let's find out what's
going on in your neighborhood. There's already way too much
(09:20):
traffic in that area. Now if they put in condos
there or a massive resort or a hotel, I think
it's just going to get busier, not busier, in that area.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
ISNTI years old?
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Is that Canters rginally established nineteen thirty one in Boyle
Heights before moving to its current location in nineteen fifty three.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Man?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
What a place? I love that place.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Canter's Deli the home of the really angry waitress, you know,
always yelling at each other and I don't know what
comes first. I've always been it's ding dong with that
with that restaurant. I don't know if the if the
women there are angry because they're seventy five and working
(10:03):
on their feet, or are they angry in life in general?
Speaker 6 (10:10):
And they're perfect for the place.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
What I'm trying to ask is did the anger come
from a life that sort of got away from them
in their twenties and thirties and now they're seventy five
working on their feet or are they Are they pissed
off their whole lives or just as.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
In the last decade, is what I'm trying to ask.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I don't know where the anger came in, but it's
very entertaining when you see those women yelling at each other,
the waitresses.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
It's great.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
And it sounds like based on the age because they
said fifty three that it moved to Fairfax Evidence, So
that's right around the time when the studio went Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Nineteen fifty right, yeah, So that's a huge hang, I
bet you know for all the people who work there.
All right, let's find out what they're going to do
with this building. Television City might be going away.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Possible sale of a Hollywood Landmark studio. It's once again
calling the state of the industry in the question. This time,
Television City at Burley Boulevard and Fairfax is expected to
hit the market.
Speaker 14 (11:05):
It sits behind the original Farmers Market, and of course
it's served as a stage for some of Hollywood's biggest productions.
American Idol shot there, the Carol Burnett Show, and of
course the price is right.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Just to name a few, The caraber Nuts Show got
a shout out, huh American the three shows that they're
out of the one hundred and fifty. Let's see what
the three they've selected here. American idol shot, American idol
very popular show.
Speaker 14 (11:27):
There, The Carol Burnett Show is very popular when, of
course the price is right, and the price is right.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
And that studio, Studio thirty three is called the the
Bob Barker Studio.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
And I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I mean, you know, Rice ERNI eighty nine cents higher
or lower?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I think the Maybe I'm biased, but I think the
Carobernet Show should have had a nod in there.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I think I don't know.
Speaker 11 (12:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
How much is the Jet Ski I don't know, I
don't know. Just to name a few.
Speaker 14 (12:07):
CBS sold the studio back in twenty nineteen to a
private real estate firm. That firm is now reportedly battling
a bill of debt into the millions. That group, Hackman
Capitals saying the NBC four News Tonight in part quote.
As an owner of studio assets in multiple US and
international markets, we have seen firsthand how Los Angeles studio
real estate faces significant pressure from high production costs and
(12:29):
uncompetitive tax incentives. Television City is a local treasure home
to decades of iconic productions, right and we remain in
active discussion with our lending partners as we carefully evaluate
all alternatives available for its future. We reach out to
Mayri Bass's office, which set in part of Mayor Bass
will continue to fight for tax credits, incentives and less
red tape at the federal, state and local level to
(12:50):
bring more productions back to La.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
There you go. So it's in good hands. Mayor Baths
is on top of it.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
So if they do sell that building, what a great
song to go out to when they bring in the
you know, the bulldozers, bringing the bulldozers gang.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I'm so glad we had this time together.
Speaker 15 (13:16):
Just to have a for singer song.
Speaker 16 (13:22):
Scenes.
Speaker 17 (13:23):
We just get started and before you know it.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Comes the time we have.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
To say, so long, what a show.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
It should have been.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
She's only saying that like like a couple, like a
couple of times, right.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
At the end of every show.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Did she sing it at the end of every show? Yeah,
I was trying to remember.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
And then she had a really long one at the
end on the final episode. It was like a dance
version of the LP long version the club mix.
Speaker 18 (14:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
But that what a great show and a great song,
and I.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I think that the Studio thirty three, and I think
most people probably agree. Bob Barker is a great guy.
But you know, how much is the rece AERRONI it's
not in the same league.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Maybe it's you know, maybe just me. That's certainly possible.
All Right, Anyway, we'll keep an eye on that television city.
Let's see what happens there. But Marabas is on it,
so I'm sure it'll be safe.
Speaker 13 (14:35):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
All right, So we have four teams left in the
World Cup, and we've got Great Britain or the English team.
Then we've got France who's still left, Spain and Argentina.
So you're gonna hear a lot of those national anthems
(15:05):
over the next couple of days and before each game.
So I want you to become familiar with it, so
I'll give you a sample so maybe you can sing along. Right,
This is the first one is the British national anthem, Beautiful,
beautiful song Man.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
They really knocked it out. God saved the King. All right,
(15:58):
let me let me.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I'll tell you what the lyrics are, because this one
is Son's lyrics. But all the people that you know
that you hate Donald Trump, you want to leave America
because of Donald Trump, how about the lyrics in this song?
For people wanting to go to Great Britain and escape
by the King.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Here it is.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I'll try to sing it for you.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Remember, you're leaving America because you are a no kings
guy or gal, and you're going to Great Britain and
to live it as a brit because you don't want
any more kings in your life. So here's their song.
God save are greatacious King, longly bar noble King.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
God saved the King.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Say him big, happy reign, God say the King.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Idiots you're leaving because you don't want a king. Their
whole vibe over there is the King. And for people
that want to move to Canada because you don't want
to be ruled by a king. The first thing you
have to do when you become a Canadian citizen you
have to sign a piece of paper and you legally
have to do this that it says on that piece
(17:46):
of paper that you're signing your allegiance to King Charles
two the king.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
So you gotta you.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Gotta be careful when you go to another country that
you're you don't seem like a wild hypocrite. All right,
let's talk about the French national anthem or another beautiful song.
Speaker 18 (18:20):
No gns astound them out of the rest of them.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Okay, So that's the French one. Then we have the
Spain Spanish, Spain's national anthem, another beautiful songs set.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
So yeah. Second, so.
Speaker 15 (19:25):
You grissy playing, Let's start my there you span gris

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Ut all right, that's beautiful. That's Spanish, the Spanish national anthem.
And then Steph Fuge, who has his roots that go
back to Argentina.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Are Argentina He's going to stand for.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Oh, that's great. Okay, I have this talking about that.
I have the English version of it. You, so, I
don't know if you know it in Spanish or English,
but here's the English version of the Argentina national anthem.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Uh, here we go. We started when we started over here,
Hold on, wait a minute, let me put some boom
in it. Here we go.
Speaker 18 (20:23):
All right.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
This is the national anthem, but sung in English. I
couldn't find it anywhere in in Spanish or in Argentinian Spanish.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
Here we go, step space.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
It is very emotional. Ah there it is. Don't cry
for me, Argentina. So steph USh. You must be really excited.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
You're in your family that you know that they're literally
Argentina is still in the World Cup.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
That's gotta be huge for you.
Speaker 11 (20:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I mean they've been in a couple of finals.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
I called it probably like which I know it sounds
bad against going against the US, but I think two
weeks ago I said it's going to be Argentina and
France in the finals.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Really, I think, so give me France.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Yeah, you got a shot at give me England.
Speaker 19 (21:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
See, I'm going with the Spain. I want to Spain
to kick ass.
Speaker 9 (21:12):
He's coming home.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Is that home for you?
Speaker 9 (21:16):
No, but I used to live there and I love England.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Do you know you're from Australia.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
I'm from Australia. But I had a grandparent from England.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Do you when you become an If I became an
Australian citizen, would I have to sign allegiance to the king?
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Yeah, you pledge allegiance to your Commonwealth member. So you
pledge allegiance to the king. And to add to your
Canadian point, did you know that every Canadian citizen is
entitled to a framed portrait of the King.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
What what a benefit?
Speaker 13 (21:42):
Right?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Yeah, wait for that in the mail.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (21:47):

quite have one yet. Sorry, I know you shot at Canada,
but they don't they do. Well, it's not really independent,
aren't Theyada Day aren't? Yeah, but that doesn't mean anything.
(22:08):

Speaker 3 (22:13):

Speaker 3 (22:26):
I don't okay, most normal people in Australia.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
People in Australia celebrate Christmas on.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
December twenty fifth, and that's in the middle of summer.

We start the school year like the end of January,
like January thirtieth, right, and then we have like a
little term break every like three or four months for
two or three weeks, and then we have summer off,
which is like December January. So your summer is December January, February's.

Speaker 13 (23:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Hey, there's something interesting going on in space.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
And I know some people are really turned off by space,
but this is this could affect you potentially. But you know,
there are a lot of places on Earth that get
very little sunlight, and if you can correct that and
throw millions of dollars at it, maybe they would enjoy that.
(24:09):
You know, parts of Alaska, parts of uh, you know,
South America that have very little sunlight, or the antarct
Arctic very little sunlight in the winter. Maybe we could
we could fix that and correct that for those people,
so they could grow more food and be a little
warmer and give your give you a little bit of
(24:30):
vitamin D. Although I don't know if if you're getting
vitamin D from a reflection, maybe you're not. You know,
you get vitamin D from the sun. But if you
get a reflection from the sun, do you still get it?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
I don't know. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I'm not a doctor, never said I was. But you
still get sunburned, so maybe you do get vitamin D.
Speaker 13 (24:48):
Who knows.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
But anyway, it's.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Called the space mirror, and they're going to test it
out and they're going to reflect the sun onto places
on Earth that have very little sun.
Speaker 20 (24:58):
So Sea has approved plan by a Hawthorn based startup
to test a satellite that would use a sixty foot
mirror to then reflect sunlight back to planet Earth after dark.
Reflect Orbital says that it would power solar farms, provide
light for rescue workers, and illuminate city streets. The idea
here is to have access to the sun on demand
(25:19):
and when it's needed.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Great idea, middle of the night and get sunshine.
Speaker 20 (25:23):
Reflect Orbital plans to have more than fifty thousand satellites
in action by twenty thirty five. However, some astronomers, wildlife
experts and others.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Oh Debbie Downers are going to get down on it.
Watch there'll be people that don't like it. They don't
like it, they don't want it.
Speaker 20 (25:38):
Oppose this idea completely. They claim that the light from
the mirrors could distract airplane pilots, could recavoc on astronomical observations,
and interfere with sleep wake cycles.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Whatever, all right, Hollywood merger can California. California is going
to try to block this merger with Paramount and Warner Brothers.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Do they have the power to do it.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I don't know, but the guys who are going to
run Paramount slash Warner Brothers are threatening to take it
out of California. If California keeps beating on them over this,
that would be a major blow, might be the final
blow to Hollywood in southern California if Paramount Warner Brothers
(26:23):
pulls up and leaves that.
Speaker 16 (26:24):
We're in the epicenter of it. Here in Burbank. We're
hearing today from state leaders that if Paramount successfully took
over this Warner brother studio, that it wouldn't just hurt
the people who watch media, but that it would also
hurt those who make it. Here in Los Angeles, however,
we are hearing from many people who actually work in
the entertainment industry. They're concerned about what Paramount may do
if this merger does get blocked.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
All right, here we go, it would.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Be well, not for me.
Speaker 12 (26:47):
We got to keep Hollywood Hollywood.
Speaker 16 (26:49):
You know, new concerns tonight about disruptions to LA's entertainment
industry after California moved to block a Hollywood mega deal.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
All right, and what's the solution.
Speaker 12 (26:57):
We got to keep Hollywood Hollywood.
Speaker 19 (26:59):
Here you go this one hundred and ten billion dollar
proposed merger, the largest merger in Hollywood history. Right, would
extinguish competition?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Or so, what do we have to do?
Speaker 12 (27:13):
We got to keep Hollywood Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
That's right. We got to keep Hollywood Hollywood. We just
talked about that with Television City. Let's find out what's going.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
On standing beneath the Hollywood sign.
Speaker 16 (27:22):
This morning, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announcing twelve states
are suing to block Paramount Skuydances takeover of Warner Brothers Discovery.
The lawsuits has combined, the two studios would be in
a llegal monopoly, controlling nearly one third of US made
movies and basic cable channels. The Department of Justice announced
in June that it was dropping their anti trust investigation
(27:43):
into the merger, finding that the deal was not likely
to harm competition or American consumers. California's ag says he disagrees.
Speaker 19 (27:51):
This merger would snuff out competition, drive up prices, diminish
content quality, and produce fewer movies and shows each year.
Speaker 12 (28:06):
That is the bottom line.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Okay, Well, they're going to try to block it, and
the problem with that is that's a hail Mary. If
you're successful and you block it, then you win. Paramount
is separate from Warner Brothers. Everybody stays in LA. But
if you try to block it, and then the merger
is completed and they and they make good on their threads,
they will pull Paramount and Warner Brothers, both of them. Well,
(28:31):
it'll be one company out of California and take it
to any one of the other forty to fifty states
that want it.
Speaker 16 (28:39):
Entertainment industry experts say there's concern that if it goes
through the Paramount Warner Brothers merger could cut down on
the number of movies and shows filmed in LA.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
This coming after data from the How could you cut
down on it?
Speaker 4 (28:51):
There's nothing being filmed anyway. When you drive around back
in the seventies, eighties, nineties, used to drive by three
or four different productions on your way to work or
school or home or wherever. You would see all these
big vans and people with cameras and props and lights
and everything.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
And now you never see it. I never see production anymore.
Speaker 16 (29:12):
Ever, this coming after data from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics shows Hollywood has already lost more than forty thousand
production jobs since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 20 (29:20):
Wow, I mean the number one that I hear about
is jobs.
Speaker 16 (29:24):
Thousands of jobs potentially at risk as the two companies
consolidate and decide that there's a lot of overlaps that
they don't need. In a statement, Paramount says we will
vigorously defend the transaction and demonstrate that this challenge is
inconsistent with sound competition policy and the competitive realities of
the media marketplace. Delaying this transaction will only harm entertainment
workers who have already suffered over recent years as technology
(29:47):
has disrupted their livelihood and cost California tens of thousands
of entertainment jobs.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Yeah, forty thousand jobs have gone away. Forty thousand.
Speaker 16 (29:55):
At today's announcement, State leaders reacting to reports that advisors
of Paramount owners David Ellison are pushing him to consider
moving the company out of state, taking thirty billion dollars
in planned spending with it. I asked the Attorney General
for a response.
Speaker 19 (30:09):
We heard that claim yesterday for the first time, and
your thoughts, and honestly, it seemed like a last ditch
effort to try to blackmail my office in the Attorney's
General into allowing an illegal deal and illegal merger to
go through.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
So what do we need to do.
Speaker 12 (30:26):
We got to keep Hollywood Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
There you go.
Speaker 16 (30:29):
Today, current and former entertainment workers saying they don't want
to see Paramount leave Hollywood, but they're also worried about
a merger cutting jobs this community depends on.
Speaker 12 (30:38):
I don't like anything that takes takes work outside.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Of La Yeah, I'm with you. I'm one hundred percent
with this guy.
Speaker 12 (30:44):
This is the land of dreams. This is where movies
and TV need to get made.
Speaker 17 (30:47):
It's comic movies in Hollywood get made. It's not cheap
comic movies in Hollywood. It's a struggle for a working
crest and they had a lot of them union people.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
You're gonna goal.
Speaker 17 (31:02):
If there's no jobs around here.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Smart dude, smart guy.
Speaker 16 (31:06):
Important to note, though, entertainment industry experts also saying it's
unlikely the Paramount could just up and leave to the
other capital of the entertainment industry, as New York is
also participating in the lawsuit to break up this merger.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Wow, all right, so we'll see that's a a big
lawsuit and a large, very very high.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Mountain to climb. I don't know how they're going to
do that.
Speaker 17 (31:29):
We have time for this.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
I think Culver City is one of the few cities
I think that I've ever heard of that doesn't want.
Speaker 12 (31:37):
In and out.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
They don't want an in and out burger? What are
they crazy?
Speaker 21 (31:42):
Drive through drama? Today the city Council in Culver City
will vote on whether to ban new drive through restaurants,
at least for the time being. Now that vote could
stop a new in and out burger from coming to town.
NBC four is Britney, Hope is live on and sad
tell so Brittany. A lot of opinions about this.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Somebody is not paying attention. In and out brings in
a lot of money, a lot of taxes into Culver City.
And people in Culver City, like people in La Sherman Oaks,
you know, Compton, they love in and out, in and out,
and they want they want to come to Culver City
and cover something.
Speaker 22 (32:20):
The city is saying no, They're sure are of course
people love in and out, but some people who live
nearby aren't really too excited about this. So here's what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Care we need more in and outs, in and Out
wants to.
Speaker 22 (32:29):
Take over the corner of this giant parking lot here
in Culver City. The city says this would be the
first brand new drive free restaurant here since eighteen ninety seven,
almost thirty years.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
You know.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
And this is not in the heart of Culver City
where there's you know, schools and families. This is right
on the edge of Culver City, near the four or
five freeway.
Speaker 22 (32:47):
Let's talk about how we got to this point. So
earlier this year, the city got an application from In
and Out wanting to build.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
One here right, which is usually you know, stamped approved,
yes fast, you know, fast tracked, and then it goes up.
Speaker 22 (33:00):
Community forums public comment during council meetings reveal.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
That a lot of who's showing up at the council
meeting and saying that they don't want in and Out?
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Who are these people?
Speaker 22 (33:10):
A lot of people who live here are not happy
about the popular chain wanting to come to town.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
I disagree with that. I think there are a lot
of people out who are voicing their opinions. But I
think the majority of the people live in Culver City,
like me, like the people live in Burbank or Glendale
or you know, wherever we all live love in and Out.
Speaker 22 (33:28):
Some of the main concerns, according to city documents, are traffic.
You know, In and Out is known for causing long lines,
that it's drive throughs because it's such a hotspot, air
quality with cars idling in line, safety for pedestrians with
more cars in the area, and because the new restaurant
would be steps away from a park and an elementary school.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Okay, all of that seems legitimate, but the flip side,
how about that cheeseburger? Huh pretty damn good.
Speaker 22 (33:59):
And another concern is the restaurant having late night hours
that could impact the neighborhood's character.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Late night double cheeseburger. I don't know how you beat that.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
That's very much like Clairemont Cleremont is you can't have
drive throughs.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
They said, no, no drive throughs, but on both sides
of Clairemont Laverne and uplielding with them right on the edge.
So the city ain't lacking for people that want to
get it, because In and Out just said, all right,
we'll go here and here.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Yeah, I I you're right, they have one right afterwards.
It's very popular. All the two ten just east of you,
there's one. O. There's that one too, Yeah, yeah, huge one.
But there's a one that's like two miles from me
that's right on the edge of Upland on Foothill Boulevard.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 6 (34:40):
And then there's one also on Foothill Bulevard and Laburne.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Oh so you're set. Oh yeah, you get Yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
We never lacking in in and out options.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I just came from Oregon and Washington. Up in Washington,
there is a brand new one up there and the weight,
you know, they have like a clock on it, you
can you know, check in. The weight was four hours
and twenty minutes and people were standing no waiting in line,
and there was there's one guy who had dominoes delivered
to his car while he was waiting for internet.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
As going fort life.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
This is KFI.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
This has been the Conway Show on demand on the
iHeartRadio app Dere's Live Join us on KFI AM six
forty weeknight six to ten pm Monday through Friday.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Dinged along with this app
It's camp I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
That's right, Timmy. Why he's a little lamb with a
lot too. He's always having such a lot of fun,
A lot of fun, little lamb with a lot too, Lamb.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yeah. Hey, there's a.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
There's a place that I think everybody knows, but you
may not know the long history and how much it's
meant to Hollywood. But if you pass Beverly and Fairfax
and you look on the west east, let me see
the southeast corner of Fairfax and Beverly, you will see
(00:58):
a building there and that's known as Television City. CBS
opened up that building I think in the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
They have been even like nineteen fifty.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
And so for the last eighty six years, seventy six years,
last seventy six years, they filmed a lot of television
that you would know in that building, a lot of it.
And now they might sell this building and then you know,
turn it into a grove or you know, hopefully a
(01:30):
seven to eleven and a Starbucks, don't leave them out,
but another you know, a juice place, an expensive grocery store, cleaners,
you know, mini mall, maybe a place to cash a
check when nobody else will cash that for you. You know,
just everything that La needs. And they this is a store,
(01:53):
this is a production facility that I bet there's twenty
five shows that you know by heart. You can tell
me the plot, you can tell me the game, you
can tell me that the people involved in it. I
bet there's twenty five or more shows that were shot
in that building that you watched as a kid, or
(02:15):
your or your parents watched, or perhaps you still watch
because they still do a lot of production there. I'll
tell you some of them. Okay, and Krozier, I know
that that you loved. You're a Big Three's company fan.
Oh yeah, and Jack A tripper was one of the
reasons John Ritter was one of the reasons you got
into show business.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Absolutely the reason I came out here. Yeah, he kind
of made me. I saw what he did as a
latch key kid and made me feel good, made people laugh,
and the physical comedy that it had been nothing too outrageous.
That's why I also what love like your Dad and
Don Knoles that same sort of vibe. And he was
a Ridder was for me, you know, because of me
growing up that time period hit sweet for me. And
(02:56):
when I did some stuff on stage, it kind of
gave me that same feel.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
And I got a chance to tell him that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And he was a great aswe I didn't know you
met him.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
I met him on the I talked to him on
the phone.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Really.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
He was on a talk show that I was working
with a years ago, about a month before he died.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
He was on with Michael Jackson, talk show host.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
You know, I think he had the same heart attack
that Lindsey Graham had where that I ordered, you know,
rips and it's the window maker, the outer.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
The ortic terror.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yeah, but you know they filmed, uh, the Carburnet Show
was filmed there too, a studio thirty three and the
studio right next door was the Three Company Studio. And
I I'll bet you anything, Krozier that you can remember, uh,
you know, the time of day and the feeling and
(03:45):
the time of year where you sat down. I can't
remember what day that came on? Was a Tuesday?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Tuesdays?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Okay, Tuesday when that came When that came on? And
you heard that from the other room. You know that
was something else.
Speaker 8 (03:59):
You know, come and knock on our door, What a
time we've been waiting for you, Please coming to common
dance on our floor.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Take a step at his knee, take a we've a
love of.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
The space that your famous geeze coming into This was
from the Norman Failure a body.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Laugh comment for you coming to what a time?
Speaker 5 (04:39):
What shows you look at now it's like, that's a
great example of Oh, I don't know how well that
would carry today.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Right at the time, it was good stuff, man, Right,
every show was the same, you know, like, wait a minute,
what did I hear?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
What did he mean?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Was it mister Furley or mister Roper working on the
pipe in the bathroom morstairs? And here's half of a
conversation between Jack and Chrissy. And then it's like, oh,
don't put that there, but it happens, But that means
completely innocuous.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Yeah, it comes right through the floor register and you're
fixing the heat or you're right, yeah, now he hears
half of it. But that show was filmed right around
towards the end of the Cabernet Show run, and so
we'd slide over there and watch them record.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
That show is great.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
So let me read some of the shows they were
a shot at Television City, because I think you'll know
twenty to twenty five of them.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Alice is one of them.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
All in the Family, the Cabernet Show, Three's Company, Bold
and Beautiful for you what you know, daytime freaks out there.
It goes back to Burns and Allen card Sharks was there.
One of my sister's favorite shows, Sonny and Cher was
shot there at the studio, right next door to thirty
three Dancing with the Stars, The Dennis Miller.
Speaker 9 (05:55):
Live Family Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
There is that, right, Yeah, I was just gonna mention
that American idol.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Dennis Miller Family Feud. Glenn Campbell's show was there. The
Hollywood Squares Jefferson's another huge, huge hit. When Letterman was
in LA he would do his show there, you know,
two three times a year. The Tom Snyder Show, Mama's Family, Everybody,
Mama's Family, Maud Murph Griffin Show, Mike Douglas Show, One
(06:24):
Day at a Time, politically incorrect, the Bill Mahers Show
as well, The Ropers, which was a spin off of
Three's Company. It was very limited, that's right, Roseanne was
shot there. The Smothers Brothers Laughing I believe Laughing may
and may not been there. Tony Orlando was there and
(06:45):
also Welcome Back Codder. All of those programs were shot
in that building.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
I think that was the same studio.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Gary Owens, who used to be on Laughing, used to
talk about that was also he used to share the
dressing room with Dean Martin when Dean Martin the Dean
Martin Show was there.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Oh that's why.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Yeah, But he used to talk about how Dean Martin
would would let Gary use his his dressing room because
he was never there at the same time and Dean
would always just show up at the last time.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
You know, Angel Martinez, you have a connection to that
building as a child. Your dad worked there, Yeah, he did.
Speaker 10 (07:20):
He was He was a cameraman for Glenn Campbell, Sonny
and Share, and then briefly, you know, for a few
months for Carol Burnett.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
How many years did your dad worked.
Speaker 11 (07:30):
There, Oh, probably, I'm going to I don't know exactly.
I'm going to guess about maybe five or five or
six years. Right around there.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You knew the commissary, you know, he was next door
to Farmer's market. That's probably a big you know, he's
probably great memories.
Speaker 10 (07:48):
Oh yeah, yeah. I'd go there on dress rehearsal days
for the different shows, especially Sonny and Cher and Carol Burnett,
and you know, we'd hit the.
Speaker 11 (07:58):
Farmer's market afterward.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's the best, have a great time.
Speaker 12 (08:03):
All right.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Well, it looks like they may sell this building, so
we come back.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
We'll tell you who's gonna buy it, who's gonna sell it,
and what they're gonna put there. But man, what a
piece of Hollywood history. If we lose that, then everything
is susceptible. Everything is fair game. You lose a place
like that with all those beautiful shows.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
They don't think any building is safe.
Speaker 13 (08:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
A lot of people who work in Los Angeles, especially
in West la or in the Fairfax area, you know
Librea area tarpets are you know Television City. It's been
there probably your whole life. It was built in nineteen
fifty and now they're thinking of selling. It's on Fairfax
and Beverly, on the southeast corner of that intersection and
(08:58):
Canter's Delhi. Is there a very famous deli that's been
there a long long time, maybe even longer than the studio,
And so it's been there seventy six years and now
they're thinking of selling it and God only knows what
they're gonna do with it. So let's find out what's
going on in your neighborhood. There's already way too much
(09:20):
traffic in that area. Now if they put in condos
there or a massive resort or a hotel, I think
it's just going to get busier, not busier, in that area.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
ISNTI years old?
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Is that Canters rginally established nineteen thirty one in Boyle
Heights before moving to its current location in nineteen fifty three.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Man?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
What a place? I love that place.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Canter's Deli the home of the really angry waitress, you know,
always yelling at each other and I don't know what
comes first. I've always been it's ding dong with that
with that restaurant. I don't know if the if the
women there are angry because they're seventy five and working
(10:03):
on their feet, or are they angry in life in general?
Speaker 6 (10:10):
And they're perfect for the place.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
What I'm trying to ask is did the anger come
from a life that sort of got away from them
in their twenties and thirties and now they're seventy five
working on their feet or are they Are they pissed
off their whole lives or just as.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
In the last decade, is what I'm trying to ask.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I don't know where the anger came in, but it's
very entertaining when you see those women yelling at each other,
the waitresses.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
It's great.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
And it sounds like based on the age because they
said fifty three that it moved to Fairfax Evidence, So
that's right around the time when the studio went Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Nineteen fifty right, yeah, So that's a huge hang, I
bet you know for all the people who work there.
All right, let's find out what they're going to do
with this building. Television City might be going away.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Possible sale of a Hollywood Landmark studio. It's once again
calling the state of the industry in the question. This time,
Television City at Burley Boulevard and Fairfax is expected to
hit the market.
Speaker 14 (11:05):
It sits behind the original Farmers Market, and of course
it's served as a stage for some of Hollywood's biggest productions.
American Idol shot there, the Carol Burnett Show, and of
course the price is right.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Just to name a few, The caraber Nuts Show got
a shout out, huh American the three shows that they're
out of the one hundred and fifty. Let's see what
the three they've selected here. American idol shot, American idol
very popular show.
Speaker 14 (11:27):
There, The Carol Burnett Show is very popular when, of
course the price is right, and the price is right.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
And that studio, Studio thirty three is called the the
Bob Barker Studio.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
And I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I mean, you know, Rice ERNI eighty nine cents higher
or lower?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I think the Maybe I'm biased, but I think the
Carobernet Show should have had a nod in there.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I think I don't know.
Speaker 11 (12:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
How much is the Jet Ski I don't know, I
don't know. Just to name a few.
Speaker 14 (12:07):
CBS sold the studio back in twenty nineteen to a
private real estate firm. That firm is now reportedly battling
a bill of debt into the millions. That group, Hackman
Capitals saying the NBC four News Tonight in part quote.
As an owner of studio assets in multiple US and
international markets, we have seen firsthand how Los Angeles studio
real estate faces significant pressure from high production costs and
(12:29):
uncompetitive tax incentives. Television City is a local treasure home
to decades of iconic productions, right and we remain in
active discussion with our lending partners as we carefully evaluate
all alternatives available for its future. We reach out to
Mayri Bass's office, which set in part of Mayor Bass
will continue to fight for tax credits, incentives and less
red tape at the federal, state and local level to
(12:50):
bring more productions back to La.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
There you go. So it's in good hands. Mayor Baths
is on top of it.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
So if they do sell that building, what a great
song to go out to when they bring in the
you know, the bulldozers, bringing the bulldozers gang.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I'm so glad we had this time together.
Speaker 15 (13:16):
Just to have a for singer song.
Speaker 16 (13:22):
Scenes.
Speaker 17 (13:23):
We just get started and before you know it.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Comes the time we have.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
To say, so long, what a show.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
It should have been.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
She's only saying that like like a couple, like a
couple of times, right.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
At the end of every show.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Did she sing it at the end of every show? Yeah,
I was trying to remember.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
And then she had a really long one at the
end on the final episode. It was like a dance
version of the LP long version the club mix.
Speaker 18 (14:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
But that what a great show and a great song,
and I.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I think that the Studio thirty three, and I think
most people probably agree. Bob Barker is a great guy.
But you know, how much is the rece AERRONI it's
not in the same league.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I don't think.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Maybe it's you know, maybe just me. That's certainly possible.
All Right, Anyway, we'll keep an eye on that television city.
Let's see what happens there. But Marabas is on it,
so I'm sure it'll be safe.
Speaker 13 (14:35):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
All right, So we have four teams left in the
World Cup, and we've got Great Britain or the English team.
Then we've got France who's still left, Spain and Argentina.
So you're gonna hear a lot of those national anthems
(15:05):
over the next couple of days and before each game.
So I want you to become familiar with it, so
I'll give you a sample so maybe you can sing along. Right,
This is the first one is the British national anthem, Beautiful,
beautiful song Man.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
They really knocked it out. God saved the King. All right,
(15:58):
let me let me.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I'll tell you what the lyrics are, because this one
is Son's lyrics. But all the people that you know
that you hate Donald Trump, you want to leave America
because of Donald Trump, how about the lyrics in this song?
For people wanting to go to Great Britain and escape
by the King.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Here it is.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I'll try to sing it for you.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Remember, you're leaving America because you are a no kings
guy or gal, and you're going to Great Britain and
to live it as a brit because you don't want
any more kings in your life. So here's their song.
God save are greatacious King, longly bar noble King.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
God saved the King.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Say him big, happy reign, God say the King.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Idiots you're leaving because you don't want a king. Their
whole vibe over there is the King. And for people
that want to move to Canada because you don't want
to be ruled by a king. The first thing you
have to do when you become a Canadian citizen you
have to sign a piece of paper and you legally
have to do this that it says on that piece
(17:46):
of paper that you're signing your allegiance to King Charles
two the king.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
So you gotta you.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Gotta be careful when you go to another country that
you're you don't seem like a wild hypocrite. All right,
let's talk about the French national anthem or another beautiful song.
Speaker 18 (18:20):
No gns astound them out of the rest of them.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Okay, So that's the French one. Then we have the
Spain Spanish, Spain's national anthem, another beautiful songs set.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
So yeah. Second, so.
Speaker 15 (19:25):
You grissy playing, Let's start my there you span gris
not play, that's.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Start my boy.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Ut all right, that's beautiful. That's Spanish, the Spanish national anthem.
And then Steph Fuge, who has his roots that go
back to Argentina.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Are Argentina He's going to stand for.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Oh, that's great. Okay, I have this talking about that.
I have the English version of it. You, so, I
don't know if you know it in Spanish or English,
but here's the English version of the Argentina national anthem.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Uh, here we go. We started when we started over here,
Hold on, wait a minute, let me put some boom
in it. Here we go.
Speaker 18 (20:23):
All right.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
This is the national anthem, but sung in English. I
couldn't find it anywhere in in Spanish or in Argentinian Spanish.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
Here we go, step space.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
It is very emotional. Ah there it is. Don't cry
for me, Argentina. So steph USh. You must be really excited.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
You're in your family that you know that they're literally
Argentina is still in the World Cup.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
That's gotta be huge for you.
Speaker 11 (20:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I mean they've been in a couple of finals.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
I called it probably like which I know it sounds
bad against going against the US, but I think two
weeks ago I said it's going to be Argentina and
France in the finals.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Really, I think, so give me France.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Yeah, you got a shot at give me England.
Speaker 19 (21:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
See, I'm going with the Spain. I want to Spain
to kick ass.
Speaker 9 (21:12):
He's coming home.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Is that home for you?
Speaker 9 (21:16):
No, but I used to live there and I love England.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Do you know you're from Australia.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
I'm from Australia. But I had a grandparent from England.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Do you when you become an If I became an
Australian citizen, would I have to sign allegiance to the king?
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Yeah, you pledge allegiance to your Commonwealth member. So you
pledge allegiance to the king. And to add to your
Canadian point, did you know that every Canadian citizen is
entitled to a framed portrait of the King.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
What what a benefit?
Speaker 13 (21:42):
Right?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Yeah, wait for that in the mail.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
My daughter during on July fourth, she said, when does
Canada celebrate their Independence Day? I said, well, they don't
quite have one yet. Sorry, I know you shot at Canada,
but they don't they do. Well, it's not really independent,
aren't Theyada Day aren't? Yeah, but that doesn't mean anything.
(22:08):
Aren't they part of the Commonwealth?
Speaker 9 (22:09):
They are, but it just means you wear double denim
on that day, exslle.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
When is Australian Day is the same as Canada Day?
Speaker 9 (22:16):
No, it's Australia Day. It's January twenty six.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
And do you guys you celebrate Christmas on December twenty fifth, Well,
but it's the middle of summer.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
Most other people do.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I don't okay, most normal people in Australia.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
People in Australia celebrate Christmas on.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
December twenty fifth, and that's in the middle of summer.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
Yeah, it's hot.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
What's the school year? The calendar in Australia? When do
you start? When you start?
Speaker 9 (22:41):
We start the school year like the end of January,
like January thirtieth, right, and then we have like a
little term break every like three or four months for
two or three weeks, and then we have summer off,
which is like December January. So your summer is December January, February's.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Yeah, that is So those that don't celebrate Christmas December
twenty fifth, when does it get celebrated.
Speaker 9 (23:06):
We don't celebrate Christmas.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
You don't.
Speaker 9 (23:09):
I don't celebrate.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Christmas, right because you hate Santa Claus.
Speaker 9 (23:13):
Jesus doesn't love me?
Speaker 12 (23:15):
Right?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Did you know who created Santa Claus?
Speaker 9 (23:18):
A German person?
Speaker 11 (23:19):
Right?
Speaker 10 (23:19):
No?
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Coca Cola? Oh yeah not odd kids are in the
back sea going.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Turn that off, Turn that off.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
So who's Saint Nicholas?
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Saint Nicholas? This the guy brings all the gifts? Is
he from a sears?
Speaker 13 (23:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Hey, there's something interesting going on in space.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
And I know some people are really turned off by space,
but this is this could affect you potentially. But you know,
there are a lot of places on Earth that get
very little sunlight, and if you can correct that and
throw millions of dollars at it, maybe they would enjoy that.
(24:09):
You know, parts of Alaska, parts of uh, you know,
South America that have very little sunlight, or the antarct
Arctic very little sunlight in the winter. Maybe we could
we could fix that and correct that for those people,
so they could grow more food and be a little
warmer and give your give you a little bit of
(24:30):
vitamin D. Although I don't know if if you're getting
vitamin D from a reflection, maybe you're not. You know,
you get vitamin D from the sun. But if you
get a reflection from the sun, do you still get it?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
I don't know. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I'm not a doctor, never said I was. But you
still get sunburned, so maybe you do get vitamin D.
Speaker 13 (24:48):
Who knows.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
But anyway, it's.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Called the space mirror, and they're going to test it
out and they're going to reflect the sun onto places
on Earth that have very little sun.
Speaker 20 (24:58):
So Sea has approved plan by a Hawthorn based startup
to test a satellite that would use a sixty foot
mirror to then reflect sunlight back to planet Earth after dark.
Reflect Orbital says that it would power solar farms, provide
light for rescue workers, and illuminate city streets. The idea
here is to have access to the sun on demand
(25:19):
and when it's needed.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Great idea, middle of the night and get sunshine.
Speaker 20 (25:23):
Reflect Orbital plans to have more than fifty thousand satellites
in action by twenty thirty five. However, some astronomers, wildlife
experts and others.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Oh Debbie Downers are going to get down on it.
Watch there'll be people that don't like it. They don't
like it, they don't want it.
Speaker 20 (25:38):
Oppose this idea completely. They claim that the light from
the mirrors could distract airplane pilots, could recavoc on astronomical observations,
and interfere with sleep wake cycles.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Whatever, all right, Hollywood merger can California. California is going
to try to block this merger with Paramount and Warner Brothers.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Do they have the power to do it.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I don't know, but the guys who are going to
run Paramount slash Warner Brothers are threatening to take it
out of California. If California keeps beating on them over this,
that would be a major blow, might be the final
blow to Hollywood in southern California if Paramount Warner Brothers
(26:23):
pulls up and leaves that.
Speaker 16 (26:24):
We're in the epicenter of it. Here in Burbank. We're
hearing today from state leaders that if Paramount successfully took
over this Warner brother studio, that it wouldn't just hurt
the people who watch media, but that it would also
hurt those who make it. Here in Los Angeles, however,
we are hearing from many people who actually work in
the entertainment industry. They're concerned about what Paramount may do
if this merger does get blocked.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
All right, here we go, it would.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Be well, not for me.
Speaker 12 (26:47):
We got to keep Hollywood Hollywood.
Speaker 16 (26:49):
You know, new concerns tonight about disruptions to LA's entertainment
industry after California moved to block a Hollywood mega deal.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
All right, and what's the solution.
Speaker 12 (26:57):
We got to keep Hollywood Hollywood.
Speaker 19 (26:59):
Here you go this one hundred and ten billion dollar
proposed merger, the largest merger in Hollywood history. Right, would
extinguish competition?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Or so, what do we have to do?
Speaker 12 (27:13):
We got to keep Hollywood Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
That's right. We got to keep Hollywood Hollywood. We just
talked about that with Television City. Let's find out what's going.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
On standing beneath the Hollywood sign.
Speaker 16 (27:22):
This morning, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announcing twelve states
are suing to block Paramount Skuydances takeover of Warner Brothers Discovery.
The lawsuits has combined, the two studios would be in
a llegal monopoly, controlling nearly one third of US made
movies and basic cable channels. The Department of Justice announced
in June that it was dropping their anti trust investigation
(27:43):
into the merger, finding that the deal was not likely
to harm competition or American consumers. California's ag says he disagrees.
Speaker 19 (27:51):
This merger would snuff out competition, drive up prices, diminish
content quality, and produce fewer movies and shows each year.
Speaker 12 (28:06):
That is the bottom line.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Okay, Well, they're going to try to block it, and
the problem with that is that's a hail Mary. If
you're successful and you block it, then you win. Paramount
is separate from Warner Brothers. Everybody stays in LA. But
if you try to block it, and then the merger
is completed and they and they make good on their threads,
they will pull Paramount and Warner Brothers, both of them. Well,
(28:31):
it'll be one company out of California and take it
to any one of the other forty to fifty states
that want it.
Speaker 16 (28:39):
Entertainment industry experts say there's concern that if it goes
through the Paramount Warner Brothers merger could cut down on
the number of movies and shows filmed in LA.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
This coming after data from the How could you cut
down on it?
Speaker 4 (28:51):
There's nothing being filmed anyway. When you drive around back
in the seventies, eighties, nineties, used to drive by three
or four different productions on your way to work or
school or home or wherever. You would see all these
big vans and people with cameras and props and lights
and everything.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
And now you never see it. I never see production anymore.
Speaker 16 (29:12):
Ever, this coming after data from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics shows Hollywood has already lost more than forty thousand
production jobs since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 20 (29:20):
Wow, I mean the number one that I hear about
is jobs.
Speaker 16 (29:24):
Thousands of jobs potentially at risk as the two companies
consolidate and decide that there's a lot of overlaps that
they don't need. In a statement, Paramount says we will
vigorously defend the transaction and demonstrate that this challenge is
inconsistent with sound competition policy and the competitive realities of
the media marketplace. Delaying this transaction will only harm entertainment
workers who have already suffered over recent years as technology
(29:47):
has disrupted their livelihood and cost California tens of thousands
of entertainment jobs.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Yeah, forty thousand jobs have gone away. Forty thousand.
Speaker 16 (29:55):
At today's announcement, State leaders reacting to reports that advisors
of Paramount owners David Ellison are pushing him to consider
moving the company out of state, taking thirty billion dollars
in planned spending with it. I asked the Attorney General
for a response.
Speaker 19 (30:09):
We heard that claim yesterday for the first time, and
your thoughts, and honestly, it seemed like a last ditch
effort to try to blackmail my office in the Attorney's
General into allowing an illegal deal and illegal merger to
go through.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
So what do we need to do.
Speaker 12 (30:26):
We got to keep Hollywood Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
There you go.
Speaker 16 (30:29):
Today, current and former entertainment workers saying they don't want
to see Paramount leave Hollywood, but they're also worried about
a merger cutting jobs this community depends on.
Speaker 12 (30:38):
I don't like anything that takes takes work outside.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Of La Yeah, I'm with you. I'm one hundred percent
with this guy.
Speaker 12 (30:44):
This is the land of dreams. This is where movies
and TV need to get made.
Speaker 17 (30:47):
It's comic movies in Hollywood get made. It's not cheap
comic movies in Hollywood. It's a struggle for a working
crest and they had a lot of them union people.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
You're gonna goal.
Speaker 17 (31:02):
If there's no jobs around here.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Smart dude, smart guy.
Speaker 16 (31:06):
Important to note, though, entertainment industry experts also saying it's
unlikely the Paramount could just up and leave to the
other capital of the entertainment industry, as New York is
also participating in the lawsuit to break up this merger.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Wow, all right, so we'll see that's a a big
lawsuit and a large, very very high.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Mountain to climb. I don't know how they're going to
do that.
Speaker 17 (31:29):
We have time for this.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
I think Culver City is one of the few cities
I think that I've ever heard of that doesn't want.
Speaker 12 (31:37):
In and out.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
They don't want an in and out burger? What are
they crazy?
Speaker 21 (31:42):
Drive through drama? Today the city Council in Culver City
will vote on whether to ban new drive through restaurants,
at least for the time being. Now that vote could
stop a new in and out burger from coming to town.
NBC four is Britney, Hope is live on and sad
tell so Brittany. A lot of opinions about this.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Somebody is not paying attention. In and out brings in
a lot of money, a lot of taxes into Culver City.
And people in Culver City, like people in La Sherman Oaks,
you know, Compton, they love in and out, in and out,
and they want they want to come to Culver City
and cover something.
Speaker 22 (32:20):
The city is saying no, They're sure are of course
people love in and out, but some people who live
nearby aren't really too excited about this. So here's what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Care we need more in and outs, in and Out
wants to.
Speaker 22 (32:29):
Take over the corner of this giant parking lot here
in Culver City. The city says this would be the
first brand new drive free restaurant here since eighteen ninety seven,
almost thirty years.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
You know.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
And this is not in the heart of Culver City
where there's you know, schools and families. This is right
on the edge of Culver City, near the four or
five freeway.
Speaker 22 (32:47):
Let's talk about how we got to this point. So
earlier this year, the city got an application from In
and Out wanting to build.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
One here right, which is usually you know, stamped approved,
yes fast, you know, fast tracked, and then it goes up.
Speaker 22 (33:00):
Community forums public comment during council meetings reveal.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
That a lot of who's showing up at the council
meeting and saying that they don't want in and Out?
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Who are these people?
Speaker 22 (33:10):
A lot of people who live here are not happy
about the popular chain wanting to come to town.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
I disagree with that. I think there are a lot
of people out who are voicing their opinions. But I
think the majority of the people live in Culver City,
like me, like the people live in Burbank or Glendale
or you know, wherever we all live love in and Out.
Speaker 22 (33:28):
Some of the main concerns, according to city documents, are traffic.
You know, In and Out is known for causing long lines,
that it's drive throughs because it's such a hotspot, air
quality with cars idling in line, safety for pedestrians with
more cars in the area, and because the new restaurant
would be steps away from a park and an elementary school.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Okay, all of that seems legitimate, but the flip side,
how about that cheeseburger? Huh pretty damn good.
Speaker 22 (33:59):
And another concern is the restaurant having late night hours
that could impact the neighborhood's character.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Late night double cheeseburger. I don't know how you beat that.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
That's very much like Clairemont Cleremont is you can't have
drive throughs.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
They said, no, no drive throughs, but on both sides
of Clairemont Laverne and uplielding with them right on the edge.
So the city ain't lacking for people that want to
get it, because In and Out just said, all right,
we'll go here and here.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Yeah, I I you're right, they have one right afterwards.
It's very popular. All the two ten just east of you,
there's one. O. There's that one too, Yeah, yeah, huge one.
But there's a one that's like two miles from me
that's right on the edge of Upland on Foothill Boulevard.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 6 (34:40):
And then there's one also on Foothill Bulevard and Laburne.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Oh so you're set. Oh yeah, you get Yeah.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
We never lacking in in and out options.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I just came from Oregon and Washington. Up in Washington,
there is a brand new one up there and the weight,
you know, they have like a clock on it, you
can you know, check in. The weight was four hours
and twenty minutes and people were standing no waiting in line,
and there was there's one guy who had dominoes delivered
to his car while he was waiting for internet.
