Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's Thursday, all right, dig dong, Only two more days
and I'll be at the San Juan Coppas Drana Parade
being towed by a horse and a horse drawn buggy.
So two and a half hours of horse farts in
(00:21):
my face. Yeah, I think that's true.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That's true story, Jenny, and we're talking about we we're
gonna try to make it down there.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Oh that's great, buddy. Look if you come down there,
then jump on the float, jump on the on the
on the on the what is it the cart with us?
So I'll take some of this. Yeah, the horse parts
smell right, buddy, that'd be great. And you guys are
always welcome, but I don't want to. You know, every
time I invite you, I feel like you're obligad You
feel like you're obligated to go, and I feel bad.
So you're always invite you Angel, Belli, O, steffuj Ritchie, Maddie,
(00:50):
the whole gang, you know, everybody. So if you want
to come by, that would be great. What time is
that I take the parade starts at eleven am, right
late start, which I I like that. Yeah, I don't
like that, you know, five thirty in the morning. It sucks.
And I also like to invite to Alex Stone. He's
a big part of our show with us the ponies. Yes,
you gotta be in the parade San Juan Capistrma parade. Wow,
(01:14):
the big deal man. That's a salmon flow like the
was it from Dumb and Dumber? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
where these swallows wallow or I don't know what salmon?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Hey, so you have obviously seen what I have, and
I guess most of the nation that these Tesla dealerships
and Tesla cars and trucks are being attacked almost nightly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
There was a new one that we learned about today
in Tulsa, and it's been everywhere and the FBI is
trying to figure out now nationally if this is all
linked or if this is coordinated in some way. All
of this is really rudimentary what people are doing there.
It's either king vehicles or there's some Molotov cocktails being used,
but they're like in beer bottles outside of a restaurant.
(01:59):
The beer bottle came from inside, So this doesn't seem
like it's all that complicated, or if it's being done
individually where people are angry and they see what's going
on and you know they've seen it on the news
and then they get angry and they go and do
something because they're mad at Elon Musk and they don't know.
So in Vegas now the Joint Terrorism Task Force they're
looking into one of the more serious crimes that went
(02:23):
on that seems to go from more than just vandalism,
maybe too domestic terrorism. Somebody two forty four in the
morning earlier this week. They were dressed all in black,
Tesla Collision Center, the parking lot outside. They show up,
they shoot a gun into several of the vehicles, and
then they've got molotov cocktails, set two of the cars
(02:44):
on fire, five in the umbre damaged. One of the
molotov cocktails did not go off. So they're analyzing that
now like a bomb that they would analyze for fingerprints
and everything else. And then that person rode on the
wall of the building in Vegas resist So they're looking
into all of that, and I mean it's serious. It
is a journalism is it domestic terrorism?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
The FBI.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
They're trying to figure it out. It's got the signs
of being domestic terrorism. This is the FBI specially Agent
in charge in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It certainly has some of the hallmarks that we might think.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Ag Pambondi, she's saying, well, clearly this was domestic terrorism,
but the FBI has to legally check a bunch of
boxes when it's not super clear, you know, like a
bombing or something, to determine, because that's a big jump
to go from vandalism up to domestic terrorism if you
catch that person. But they're trying to figure it out.
And then in Kansas City there were two Tesla cyber
(03:36):
trucks that were set on fire. A dealership in Oregon
had shots fired at it. South Carolina guy arrested for
vandalizing a charging station. He had Molotov cocktails, but that
was outside of a pizza restaurant, Mellow Mushroom, which is
popular in the South. It's got a kind of high
vibe to the that's kind of the theme in the
whole place. He apparently went outside the Mellow Mushroom and
(03:59):
took care of those charging stations, and the ATF found
a three page note where he had anti government beliefs,
and then Massachusetts State had a bunch set on fire.
And so now there is a group calling for peaceful
but big protests that they want a day of action
at Tesla showrooms next week, so that could be something.
The White House is calling for an end to all
(04:20):
of this, and President Trump is calling the vandals garbage.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You know, he did that pretty.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Much commercial last week outside of the White House for
Tesla with Elon Musk talking about how amazing they are
and that the President was buying one.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
But now they got to try to put two and
two together.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Here.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Is this just a bunch of people doing individual acts
of vandalism or is this some coordinated thing and they
don't know you?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You know this guy. It really deters a lot of
people from coming to this country and starting up companies.
This guy owns Twitter, he started SpaceX, obviously, he started Tesla,
the boring company, Neurlink, Starlink, and Ai. And so this
guy has started companies that thousands of people are working
(05:03):
for and getting a paycheck, you know, every week. And
you're going to burn this guy's cars down. It's unbelievable.
And then Kim Wall's saying you know, he puts, you know,
the Tesla stock on his cell phone and he gets
a charge every time it goes down in the stock market.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
And it's been going down nine weeks in a row now.
And we just got some new numbers on on Tesla's
sales and they're down considerably, and the number of available
used Tesla's is way up online. It went from like
thirty percent of the available electric cars that were for
sale online now to fifty five fifty six percent. So
(05:39):
people are dumping them, but you have another customer base, yeah,
like Sean Hannity who are saying, well, now they want
them and they're buying them. Seems that the dumping is
going faster than the buying, but it is a change
in the customer base you had all these Yeah, well,
you would think California is unique when you travel elsewhere,
not every stop light is all Tesla's sitting there. It's
(06:00):
not that way in many areas of the country, but
but in California we're so used to that now.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
You know, I always feel like as I'm sitting there
in my GMC looking around, going I don't know, but
but now you've got that crowd that bought them for
the environmental aspects and all of that now dumping those
and you got those that were never going to go
electric and we're all pickups and you know, larger vehicles.
Some of them are now saying, okay, I do want
to go to to support Elon Musk and President Trump.
(06:26):
So I mean a total flip flop in the customer base.
You're buying at Tesla, but.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
As sitting governor rooting for a US car company to uh,
you know, go to go out of business. Is that right?
I've never heard of that before. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
And there are a lot of lawmakers making comments like
that and selling off their Teslas and telling others to
sell them off too, so.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
And then people getting notes on their car if you
drive a Tesla, you're a Nazi. Yeah. People have been
finding those as they come back or spray paint or
being keyed, and uh yeah, it's there's a lot going on.
You know, what he should do if if if Elon
my wants to get back at everybody stop making electric
cars and make twelve cylinder, huge ass pickup trucks.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Well, the crowd that never wanted to go electric and
is now doing it to support him, they would love that.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Right, yeah, exactly. And then Jimmy Kimmel last night. You
know I basically saying, you know, burn these cars down.
Oh I didn't hear that. Well, he said, hey, if
you don't, what I'm saying is don't burn those cars.
You know, like if you were to say, hey, if
you see you know, if you see Conway around the halls,
(07:33):
don't punch them in the face, don't trip them, don't
stick your leg out, don't stick your leg up.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
On the same week that SpaceX went up and got
the astronauts back. Yeah, and Starlink is being used by
matting around the world right now that uh yeah, it's
we'll see. The numbers aren't great for Tesla right now.
And then the company filed paperwork saying that they're being
hurt internally because they were so used to having Musk
(07:58):
around to run data operations and tell them what they
needed to do, that they're being impeded now because he's
so busy doing the government stuff and he's not there
day to day to run that operation. That some of
their regulatory PaperWorks is that internally they're feeling the impact
that so that the company's hurting right now.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I don't know how he does it. I mean he's
got you know, one, two, three, four or five. He's
got at least seven companies he runs. And then he
also has like th government. He's got thirteen kids. Yeah, yeah,
he's running the he's running, he's running you know, the
Doge Department of the government. He's running these nine major
corporations in the United States. And I think he has
how many kids? Is here? Is it? Twelve? Thirteen? A few?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Yeah, and then the one that was running along with
the president last week, and President Trump made the X
symbol yes for the kid's name, so everybody knew what
to call the kid.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
That's crazy man, that's wild buddy. Appreciate you coming on
you rock thanks to Giant studd. There he goes Alex
Stone with ABC News. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, all right.
The parade is the day after tomorrow. It's Saturday. That's
a big deal. San Juan Capistrano, So come on down.
The croziers are threatening to come on down when the
(09:05):
swellows come back, that's right. I don't know. I went
down there last year. I didn't see any swallows, but
it was raining, so maybe they don't come out in
the rain. It's not supposed to rain this year, though
they rained last year the entire time. What was that angel?
Speaker 7 (09:18):
There's a ton of swallows out and about. I see
him every morning. I'm almost bombed by them.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
All Is that right? Now? If they make a nest
in your house or your tree, you can't take that down.
You got to live with it, right, I guess?
Speaker 8 (09:32):
So?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Oh, really, you just take the broom and sort of
move them on.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Huh No, No, I mean they used to make when
we a long time ago, years ago, they used to
make their little you know, mud houses or whatever it
is that they make on the eve of our of
our home, you know, right underneath the roof and all
over the place. I mean, it would make a lot
of people mad, but I kind of liked it.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
All right, Well, they're back. They're back. They're back, and
you can go see him anywhere now you live. You
don't live in San Juan. You live in a neighboring city.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Yeah, I'm San Juana Jason, okay, and.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You still see him in I thought they just came
back to San Juan. I didn't know they came back everywhere.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Oh, into that whole area.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
A man, I don't know. I think they're they're stretching
out and getting into poorer areas, you know, moving. Yeah,
I don't know they're getting into uh you know, Angel Martinez.
This area isn't San Juana like a really high end city.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Sure, I mean every place has, you know, some really
high end areas and some not so high end areas.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Not right, it's a beauty.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Yeah, it's a beautiful town.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, it's beautiful. It's an old throwback town. I love it.
I've never seen him before until last year when was
in the parade, so sixty fifth Annual Parade Saturday in
San Juan Capistrata. So come on down.
Speaker 9 (10:53):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Hey, if I am six forty, it's Conway Show. March
Madness is here and we always check in with the
Duke of Sports, Eric Sclora. How you both dang dong? Timmy,
I'm good, buddy. What happened with the Auburn game? I
was watching a little bit of it. They were playing
I believe Alabama's state.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Yeah, you texted me that the spread was thirty two
points Auburn.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Auburn was a thirty two point favorite, and I thought, man,
there's nobody in this tournament should be a thirty two
point favorite because these teams, you know, these players move around.
Now there's no dominant teams anymore.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
They move around, there's no dominant teams anymore. And realistically,
it's March. Anything can happen there.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Right, Exactly what was the final of that? Auburn eighty
three sixty three? So Alabama State covered? Oh, well, eighty
three sixty three. I'm eighty three sixy, No, they didn't
the thirty two point spread. You're right, they missed by
twelve points. No, Alabama State covered. I'm saying, oh, Welbams
State covered? Yes? Yes, yes, yes, yeah, so I thought
you said Auburn, No, Alabama still go to State covered? Yeah,
(11:58):
and look at one point they were almost tied. Yeah,
you know, they had two free throws that they missed. Buddy,
I can't believe in college basketball, how many of these
guys airball these threes. Yeah, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Yeah, I mean, that's just the way the game is, though.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
But you would think by the time you get into
college you could at least hit the backboard of the
rim or something. You would think if you're on a
full right scholarship. I can throw an airball from you know,
twenty two feet out.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Russell Westbrook airball the free throw last night in the
Laker game. So the pros are doing it too. He
airballed a free throw. Yes, wow, Yeah, the Lakers crowd
definitely let him have it too. It was pretty funny.
That's so great?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
All right? What are we looking at? Who made it?
Who didn't?
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Alabama State's out? Alabama State is Have you ever heard
of Alabama State before? Not until yesterday? I either, not
until yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I looked at a niche and they go, oh, Alabama Auburn.
That's a great rivalry. No, it's Alabama State. Yeah, you know,
it's like a junior college somewhere.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
But Alabama and Auburn could play in the National Championship,
so it could be.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And what about Grand Canyon.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
The Grand Canyon University is not in the tournament this year?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
They're not. No, I thought they were. No, I think
they are. I think they are. I think you have
the wrong. I think you have last year's games. I
think you got all right? Who is all right? What
the games? The big games this week? And is UCLA
playing yeah, Ucla plays tonight tonight against two. They play
Utah State. It's a seven to ten matchup.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Obviously, I got UCLA winning that matchup, moving on to
play Tennessee. Tennessee's playing right now against Warford in the
two fifteen matchup in that bracket. But the only upset
today so far was mcnessy State Wow over Clemson. A
twelve seed over a five seed. Okay, so so far
(13:47):
everything's been shocked. I had one other upset in my
bracket that didn't go that way. I had High Point
beating Perdue, the thirteen over the four seed, but Perdue
ended up beating high Point. Apparently. High Point this school,
it's pretty rocket school, and that's kind of the only
reason why I was running with them. They accept apparently
eighty percent of applicants. Too many people drop out from
(14:11):
partying to watch, so I was like, Oh, I think
those guys are gonna go make a run.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I was. I turned the TV on today, and how
did Charles Barkley find his way onto ESPN?
Speaker 6 (14:22):
He was on you No ESPN, No, it had to
be CBS because CBS.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
CBS. I'm sorry, CBS, but he was always he was
always on TNT.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Yeah, Turner and CBS have the right to March Madness,
and so he can kind of flip flop back and
forth during March Madness only cause for NBA strictly, he
is only Turner and TNT right exclusive. But once March
Madness comes and CBS gets involved with it, he can
kind of flip flop between CBS and Turner because TNT
(14:51):
and True TV or the and TBS are the you.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Know, I he agrees with me, or I agree with him,
whatever way you look at it. But I think Arizona
is coming out of the way. I think Florida out
of the East, and I think Florida wins it all.
Interesting because I have Saint John's winning it all. Oh
is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Rick Patino, the old coach from Louisville. Uh, he's had
Saint John's on a run this year. They were one
of the best teams in the country. And with this
whole nil thing. They have an alumni named Micropoli. He's
the founder of body Armor. You know, the sports drainer
right here, Yeah, yeah, literally right there. He dumped in
(15:31):
over a million dollars in NIL money to get to
get recruits for this Saint John's team to get them
to be competitive.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
It's become like pro Yeah, and now.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
The one they're the two seed in the March Madness
and one of the favorites to win the tournament.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
And what about two things? USC he didn't make it, No, okay,
but uc USC and u c l A Women's both
made it, and they both have a very good chance
to win it all. Yeah, by number one seeds, I believe.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yeah, they are both two of the top programs right now. Obviously,
USC has Juju Watkins, one of the best players in
women's college basketball right now after Caitlyn Clark departed last year.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Juju's probably like the next one. That's great. A lot
of people are saying, Okay, so UCLA plays tonight, will
they play again on Sunday if they win. Yeah, if
they win, it'll play Sunday. And who will they played?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
You?
Speaker 6 (16:23):
They would play the winner of Tennessee Warford Tennessee Warford.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Warford is in it again. Yeah, Warford's never been. I
think rand Canyons in it. I think you are smoking
weed if you don't think Rand Canyons. And I don't know, oh,
you know what, I was right?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
I was wrong. Okay, I was wrong. I see this
is the problem. There's so many teams. Now, I know
there's teams. We had the first four games two days
ago and yesterday. Now we got the actual tournament Maryland
versus Grand Canyon home tomorrow at one thirty five pm.
Four matchups, the four seed versus the thirteen seed.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I can't imagine what that they spread is going to be.
Although Grand Canyon usually has a pretty good team. You know,
it's another school that has a high acceptance rate, which
I like. I like schools with ninety percent acceptance, right
like Alabama. You know, you go to Alabama, you just
you just have to have a couple of bucks to
get in and you're in there. Man, all right, we'll
check back with you during the March madness that. Yeah.
(17:19):
So Ucla tonight at seven to ten, uh, six thirty five,
six thirty five, Ucla is playing Utah State, Yes, twenty
five Utah State. Okay, all right, I'm gonna be watching
that and that will that be on CBS or you know,
by the way, Duke, I can't believe LA has zero
of these games. Los Angeles doesn't have any of these games. Yeah,
(17:40):
it's horrible.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Well, Lakers are in regular season with the so they
got Crypto dot com areno on lock Clippers got into
a dome.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Right, but your dome would be a perfect place to
have these games.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Yeah, but I just they probably just couldn't schedule any
They probably have concerts things like that sucks. No, trust me,
I would love to go watch a copang. I would too.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I love these games. All right, buddy, we'll check back
with you. The Duke of the Duke of Sports on socials. Yes,
all right, thanks Bob. Antics City thing.
Speaker 9 (18:07):

going to stores. I don't like cum clothes, but popular
chains are going away, and even the stores that sell

a it's really mostly crap, but it's cheap, so you
feel like you're getting a bargain. You know, you slide

Speaker 10 (19:31):
Dollar General is closing nearly one hundred stores. The company
says it plans to closed ninety six locations by January
of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
People don't have money, They don't have enough money to
go to the Dollar General. Dollar General.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
Dollar General CEO says that the number of closings represents
less than one percent of the company's overall store base.

closing yours?
Speaker 10 (19:56):
The company says it plans to close ninety six locations.

Okay, they're closing ninety and it's less than one percent
of their stores. God almighty, man. We got a lot

like inflatable furniture or something that's right.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I love inflatable furniture.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
I enjoyed that the decision came after a view of
the soore performance and conditions to determine which stores should
be closed or maybe be rebranded now as now it's
not known which locations are set to close.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, that sucks. And then Forever twenty one going out

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I know, I know, well, you know what, that's not
even for over twenty one. My wife said that to
me over the weekend, because you got to come up
with new material. You know, you have the same jokes
you've had for twenty years, and you don't change your jokes,
you just change your friends. And so they, you know,
they they haven't heard the jokes. But that that even
wasn't even joke. It's a true story that for every
(22:47):
twenty one was opening up a store for plus sized women.
Oh it's true.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Wow? Really yeah? What are they called?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Oh? Thank you? It's called Forever twenty one?
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I know, sick, isn't it sick? Not the people that
are huge me right, The people that are six hundred
pounds are normal. It's the guys that pointed out, go, hey,
I don't think you're I think you're going too fast
here Forever two for one yeah two two in one,
yeah exactly. Well, Forever twenty one, we hardly knew ye
(23:25):
good night and liquidating its assets. Honestly, I think it's
gone kind of downhill.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
The closures come with deep instore discounts and up to
eighty percent off online, and it's bankruptcy filing. The retailer
blamed in part fierce competition from the Chinese retailers she
And and Timu, which key price is low with held from
a trade exemption that allows them to stirt import taxes
and tariffs.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Your clothes aren't a way lower price than Forever twenty one,
so it made it extremely difficult for Forever twenty one
to operate.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
For over twenty one. Founding in Los Angeles, what a
great name though, Forever twenty one, Man, you feel great
going in there. I'm gonna be twenty.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
One for Founding in Los Angeles survived to bankruptcy five
years ago, restructuring and closing more than one hundred stores,
unable to find a buyer for the remaining three hundred
and fifty stores.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
This new bankruptcy is likely to be the end.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Store closures like ones at Forever twenty one are happening
at a time of concern for the US economy, and
the US consumer accounts for about seventy percent of US
economic activity.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Here. The one thing that they got rid of they
had early on at Forever twenty one. They used to
have a guy worked there and he was the tube
top he was the tube top director, and you put
a tube top on and then he would tell you
whether you could still rock a tube top, and if
you didn't, then they wouldn't sell it to you. But
(24:43):
so it was a kind of an odd, you know, job,
sort of circus sy, you know. But the guy was
dead on. Man, I think I could have been that guy.
I think I could have been the guy to look
at at men and women who were wearing tube tops
and say, no, sweetie, it's it's over.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
February figures show a tighty.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Remember that guy, Yeah, yeah, no, I bet he's you know,
it's I guess your birthday, you know, he goes, you
put a tube top. I it's like.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
No. February figures show a tiny uptake and consumer spending
up point two percent for retail sales, but below a
Dow Jones forecast for eight point six percent rise. Forever
twenty one joins the likes of Party City and craft
Store Joanne as iconic retailers now going bus.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
They're all going away? What are we gonna do?
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Me?
Speaker 4 (25:31):
As a teenager, it really was like, let's go to
fever twenty one.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
But now I'm almost thirty, so I'm like, not forever
twenty one anymore, not forever twenty one anymore. Yeah, Richie,
you seem like a forever twenty one guy? Was that
your hang?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I was back in the dizabe? Not anymore? Where'd you
get your clothes?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Now? Yeah? Would you go to Coohle's? Where's that? Two
dad vibes for the me? Okay? Yeah, what does dad mean?
Does that mean heterosexual?
Speaker 6 (25:59):
No?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Dad vibes means like a polo shirt or whatever you wear? Okay,
where do you go to buy your duds? I honestly thrift.
A lot of my clothes I take from my father.
I know, quote unquote Dada clothes, but like cool Dada clothes,
you know.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
But yeah, I do a lot of online shopping, to
be honest. I look for off season stuff.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
You know. I got to make my dollar run as
much as I can sure, so I buy all my
summer stuff in the winter and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
So what is what of your dad's Do you wear shirts? Paints? Yeah? Everything?
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Like all his like beat up Wrangler jeans, like oversized
kind of thing. He's like, he tells my mom like, oh,
you can donate or throw these out or send them
to Mexico. And then I go through them before that happened,
and I rock him.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Okay, you know I have some old jeans. I bring
him in maybe can rock those. Are you a sice thirty? No,
you're thirty? No, I'm just playing what are you thirty two? Yeah?
I'm a thirty two? Yeah? Oh I think every guy's
at thirty two. I think so too. Yeah, or do
you crows? You at thirty two? Thirty four? Hello? Okay,
well thirty two to thirty four is the same as man, Yeah, right,
(27:05):
a man, man, you're not a child at thirty two? Exactly.
I eat food. Yeah. I saw jeans the other day
twenty nine, Like, who's buying that? Don't you just steal those?
None of that.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Stuff's even applicable anymore because of the elastic jeans. Now,
they keep the size the same, but they're not actually
that size, you know, thirty four is not a thirty four.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Thirty two is not a thirty two. Right? Do you
notice in the summer there's elastic on the side, and
there's buttons you can adjust your shorts, you know, because
you eat a lot in the summer, then you go
up and down in the summer. But why don't they
do that the rest of the season. You know, in
the winter, I eat as much crap as I do
in the summer. There should be elastic on my my jeans.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
Do the opposite some Thanksgiving jeans or something.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
That's right, they should have Thanksgiving jeans. I think it's
a great idea.
Speaker 9 (27:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway jun you're on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Ah Right, beautiful day out, an unbelievable weekend coming up.
You know, we've had fires and earthquakes and floods and
rain and wind. We've had a really horrible, horrible weather
start to twenty twenty five. But this weekend is going

(29:31):
and Wednesday. Nothing but sunshine. It's gonna be great to
get out spring cleaning. I said to my wife today,
I said, hey, when do we do our spring cleaning?
And she said, well, maybe when it turns spring? And
I said when is that? She goes, I don't like
a month like No, No, I think it's today. I
think spring is today. I think spring started today, So
time to do spring cleaning. Crozer, do you and Jen
(29:54):
do that? You do a spring cleaning? No, you don't
need to get into that. Huh No, Hey, by let
me ask you something because I've noticed this around my
house when you're doing something, you're working in the yard
or you know, you're I don't know, you're working inside,
you're fixing something on the inside, you're sweeping or cleaning whatever.
(30:14):
Do you ever do you ever hear this from anybody
else in the house? Hey, dad, can I.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
Give you a hand?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
But you remember when you were a kid and you
you your dad was working in the yard. You always
went out and worked with them. Yeah. It was fun. Yeah,
you know to get out in the yard work with dad. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I mean sometimes you know Dad would have to say
let's go right, and once you were out there.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Man, it was like yeah, all right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
a little quality time with dad. But now with these
cell phones, man, you can't get these kids that lift anything. Man,
they don't. They don't like to do anything. Occasionally, I
got stuff to do, Dad. That's really because it looks
like you're doing nothing. My dad would buy, you know,
a gallon of paint and then give every one of
(31:03):
his kids a paint brush and we'd paint like the
shed or the garage. It wouldn't look great, but it
was just something we did. You know. My dad had
pictures of it, and I remember those days, you know,
where everybody as a family we painted something. We're like
Amish for a day. You know, if they want to
rebuild the Palisades or Alta Diena, let's get the Amish
in here for a couple of months. You're seeing the
(31:24):
videos where the Amish put together a huge ass barn
in one day. Yeah, they just whittle each log one
at a time. They put they put together a big
red barn, you know, thousands of square feet. Everybody gets
together to do it. Yeah, the nine hundred guys get together.
They all have skills. They're all craftsmen, they're all finished carpenters,
and they all get on top of that barn and
they finish it in one day. One day. They put
(31:46):
together a big, huge ass red barn. They seal the roof,
it's all weather proved. It's in you knows, or eastern
Ohio or western Pennsylvania, and it lasts for hundreds of years,
and they put it up in one day, one day.
So let's get the Amish out here. Let's show them
where the palisades are, show them where out the Dean is.
(32:08):
Get the Amish out here to rebuild this state. And
they can do it in one day, one day. Why
Miley Cyrus. I know we got a lot of big
fans of Miley Cyrus. She has has been unable to
dismiss this lawsuit for that salt of Flowers, which I
believe she wanted granty for. So she's in some trouble here.
(32:28):
It's going on.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
In September twenty twenty four, Tempo Music Investments, which owns
a share of the copyright in Mars's twenty thirteen hit,
claimed Cyrus had copied his hit. Miley Cyrus won't be
able to dismiss a copyright lawsuit alleging similarities between her
twenty twenty three hit Flowers and Bruno Mars's twenty thirteen
(32:50):
track When I Was Your Man. In an order denying
the motion to dismiss on Tuesday, March eighteenth, and obtained
by people.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
By the way, is Bruno Mars in Vegas trying to
settle his debt? I heard he lost like fifty million
dollars and now he's playing, you know, four five concerts
a week to try to make that go away. Is
that somebody else? Am I just on the moon?
Speaker 6 (33:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
That's him. That's him. Yeah, right, he lost tens of
millions of dollars. Yeah, gambling, and now he's got to
play one hundred and fifty or two hundred concerts. Yeah,
God almighty, that's great. My kind of guy, by the way,
my kind of guy.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
A judge denied the Wrecking Ball musician's request to dismiss
the lawsuit from Tempo Music Investments, which owns a share
of the copyright from marsa.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Oh Boy from Fright Away from What, from.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
Purchasing the catalog rights from the song's co writer, Philip Lawrence.
According to the order, Cyrus thirty two and her legal
team had a misunderstanding of the legal precedent surrounding. What
exclusive means?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Is that right? I didn't know what that meant. Exclusive means, Yeah,
what does exclusive mean? I don't know. Why don't you
try to figure that out?
Speaker 8 (34:01):
Exclusive means, which the judge deemed incorrect. Ownership of exclusive
rights is not to be conflated with exclusive ownership of rights.
The exclusive rights are what is owned collectively by the
co owners, The order states. Per the order, Lawrence's interest
was a co ownership interest in the exclusive rights of
the copyright. By transferring all of that interest, Tempo now
(34:25):
steps into Lawrence's shoes and is a co owner of
the exclusive rights of the copyright.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
The filing reads, someone's going to write a check. Sounds
like someone's gonna write a check. That's a great song,
you know, by Miley Cyrus. But I guess somebody else
already own that music and that area, so we'll see
how big the check is. That's too bad. I like
Miley Cyrus. You probably didn't do it purposely. You know,
it was a great song, won or a lot of awards,
(34:51):
and now it's time to pay the copyright or the piper,
whoever that is. We're live on KFI AM six forty Conway,
show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now, you can
always hear us live on KFI Am six forty four
to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's Thursday, all right, dig dong, Only two more days
and I'll be at the San Juan Coppas Drana Parade
being towed by a horse and a horse drawn buggy.
So two and a half hours of horse farts in
(00:21):
my face. Yeah, I think that's true.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That's true story, Jenny, and we're talking about we we're
gonna try to make it down there.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Oh that's great, buddy. Look if you come down there,
then jump on the float, jump on the on the
on the on the what is it the cart with us?
So I'll take some of this. Yeah, the horse parts
smell right, buddy, that'd be great. And you guys are
always welcome, but I don't want to. You know, every
time I invite you, I feel like you're obligad You
feel like you're obligated to go, and I feel bad.
So you're always invite you Angel, Belli, O, steffuj Ritchie, Maddie,
(00:50):
the whole gang, you know, everybody. So if you want
to come by, that would be great. What time is
that I take the parade starts at eleven am, right
late start, which I I like that. Yeah, I don't
like that, you know, five thirty in the morning. It sucks.
And I also like to invite to Alex Stone. He's
a big part of our show with us the ponies. Yes,
you gotta be in the parade San Juan Capistrma parade. Wow,
(01:14):
the big deal man. That's a salmon flow like the
was it from Dumb and Dumber? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
where these swallows wallow or I don't know what salmon?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Hey, so you have obviously seen what I have, and
I guess most of the nation that these Tesla dealerships
and Tesla cars and trucks are being attacked almost nightly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
There was a new one that we learned about today
in Tulsa, and it's been everywhere and the FBI is
trying to figure out now nationally if this is all
linked or if this is coordinated in some way. All
of this is really rudimentary what people are doing there.
It's either king vehicles or there's some Molotov cocktails being used,
but they're like in beer bottles outside of a restaurant.
(01:59):
The beer bottle came from inside, So this doesn't seem
like it's all that complicated, or if it's being done
individually where people are angry and they see what's going
on and you know they've seen it on the news
and then they get angry and they go and do
something because they're mad at Elon Musk and they don't know.
So in Vegas now the Joint Terrorism Task Force they're
looking into one of the more serious crimes that went
(02:23):
on that seems to go from more than just vandalism,
maybe too domestic terrorism. Somebody two forty four in the
morning earlier this week. They were dressed all in black,
Tesla Collision Center, the parking lot outside. They show up,
they shoot a gun into several of the vehicles, and
then they've got molotov cocktails, set two of the cars
(02:44):
on fire, five in the umbre damaged. One of the
molotov cocktails did not go off. So they're analyzing that
now like a bomb that they would analyze for fingerprints
and everything else. And then that person rode on the
wall of the building in Vegas resist So they're looking
into all of that, and I mean it's serious. It
is a journalism is it domestic terrorism?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
The FBI.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
They're trying to figure it out. It's got the signs
of being domestic terrorism. This is the FBI specially Agent
in charge in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It certainly has some of the hallmarks that we might think.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Ag Pambondi, she's saying, well, clearly this was domestic terrorism,
but the FBI has to legally check a bunch of
boxes when it's not super clear, you know, like a
bombing or something, to determine, because that's a big jump
to go from vandalism up to domestic terrorism if you
catch that person. But they're trying to figure it out.
And then in Kansas City there were two Tesla cyber
(03:36):
trucks that were set on fire. A dealership in Oregon
had shots fired at it. South Carolina guy arrested for
vandalizing a charging station. He had Molotov cocktails, but that
was outside of a pizza restaurant, Mellow Mushroom, which is
popular in the South. It's got a kind of high
vibe to the that's kind of the theme in the
whole place. He apparently went outside the Mellow Mushroom and
(03:59):
took care of those charging stations, and the ATF found
a three page note where he had anti government beliefs,
and then Massachusetts State had a bunch set on fire.
And so now there is a group calling for peaceful
but big protests that they want a day of action
at Tesla showrooms next week, so that could be something.
The White House is calling for an end to all
(04:20):
of this, and President Trump is calling the vandals garbage.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You know, he did that pretty.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Much commercial last week outside of the White House for
Tesla with Elon Musk talking about how amazing they are
and that the President was buying one.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
But now they got to try to put two and
two together.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Here.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Is this just a bunch of people doing individual acts
of vandalism or is this some coordinated thing and they
don't know you?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You know this guy. It really deters a lot of
people from coming to this country and starting up companies.
This guy owns Twitter, he started SpaceX, obviously, he started Tesla,
the boring company, Neurlink, Starlink, and Ai. And so this
guy has started companies that thousands of people are working
(05:03):
for and getting a paycheck, you know, every week. And
you're going to burn this guy's cars down. It's unbelievable.
And then Kim Wall's saying you know, he puts, you know,
the Tesla stock on his cell phone and he gets
a charge every time it goes down in the stock market.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
And it's been going down nine weeks in a row now.
And we just got some new numbers on on Tesla's
sales and they're down considerably, and the number of available
used Tesla's is way up online. It went from like
thirty percent of the available electric cars that were for
sale online now to fifty five fifty six percent. So
(05:39):
people are dumping them, but you have another customer base, yeah,
like Sean Hannity who are saying, well, now they want
them and they're buying them. Seems that the dumping is
going faster than the buying, but it is a change
in the customer base you had all these Yeah, well,
you would think California is unique when you travel elsewhere,
not every stop light is all Tesla's sitting there. It's
(06:00):
not that way in many areas of the country, but
but in California we're so used to that now.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
You know, I always feel like as I'm sitting there
in my GMC looking around, going I don't know, but
but now you've got that crowd that bought them for
the environmental aspects and all of that now dumping those
and you got those that were never going to go
electric and we're all pickups and you know, larger vehicles.
Some of them are now saying, okay, I do want
to go to to support Elon Musk and President Trump.
(06:26):
So I mean a total flip flop in the customer base.
You're buying at Tesla, but.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
As sitting governor rooting for a US car company to uh,
you know, go to go out of business. Is that right?
I've never heard of that before. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
And there are a lot of lawmakers making comments like
that and selling off their Teslas and telling others to
sell them off too, so.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
And then people getting notes on their car if you
drive a Tesla, you're a Nazi. Yeah. People have been
finding those as they come back or spray paint or
being keyed, and uh yeah, it's there's a lot going on.
You know, what he should do if if if Elon
my wants to get back at everybody stop making electric
cars and make twelve cylinder, huge ass pickup trucks.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Well, the crowd that never wanted to go electric and
is now doing it to support him, they would love that.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Right, yeah, exactly. And then Jimmy Kimmel last night. You
know I basically saying, you know, burn these cars down.
Oh I didn't hear that. Well, he said, hey, if
you don't, what I'm saying is don't burn those cars.
You know, like if you were to say, hey, if
you see you know, if you see Conway around the halls,
(07:33):
don't punch them in the face, don't trip them, don't
stick your leg out, don't stick your leg up.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
On the same week that SpaceX went up and got
the astronauts back. Yeah, and Starlink is being used by
matting around the world right now that uh yeah, it's
we'll see. The numbers aren't great for Tesla right now.
And then the company filed paperwork saying that they're being
hurt internally because they were so used to having Musk
(07:58):
around to run data operations and tell them what they
needed to do, that they're being impeded now because he's
so busy doing the government stuff and he's not there
day to day to run that operation. That some of
their regulatory PaperWorks is that internally they're feeling the impact
that so that the company's hurting right now.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I don't know how he does it. I mean he's
got you know, one, two, three, four or five. He's
got at least seven companies he runs. And then he
also has like th government. He's got thirteen kids. Yeah, yeah,
he's running the he's running, he's running you know, the
Doge Department of the government. He's running these nine major
corporations in the United States. And I think he has
how many kids? Is here? Is it? Twelve? Thirteen? A few?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Yeah, and then the one that was running along with
the president last week, and President Trump made the X
symbol yes for the kid's name, so everybody knew what
to call the kid.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
That's crazy man, that's wild buddy. Appreciate you coming on
you rock thanks to Giant studd. There he goes Alex
Stone with ABC News. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, all right.
The parade is the day after tomorrow. It's Saturday. That's
a big deal. San Juan Capistrano, So come on down.
The croziers are threatening to come on down when the
(09:05):
swellows come back, that's right. I don't know. I went
down there last year. I didn't see any swallows, but
it was raining, so maybe they don't come out in
the rain. It's not supposed to rain this year, though
they rained last year the entire time. What was that angel?
Speaker 7 (09:18):
There's a ton of swallows out and about. I see
him every morning. I'm almost bombed by them.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
All Is that right? Now? If they make a nest
in your house or your tree, you can't take that down.
You got to live with it, right, I guess?
Speaker 8 (09:32):
So?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Oh, really, you just take the broom and sort of
move them on.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Huh No, No, I mean they used to make when
we a long time ago, years ago, they used to
make their little you know, mud houses or whatever it
is that they make on the eve of our of
our home, you know, right underneath the roof and all
over the place. I mean, it would make a lot
of people mad, but I kind of liked it.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
All right, Well, they're back. They're back. They're back, and
you can go see him anywhere now you live. You
don't live in San Juan. You live in a neighboring city.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Yeah, I'm San Juana Jason, okay, and.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You still see him in I thought they just came
back to San Juan. I didn't know they came back everywhere.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Oh, into that whole area.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
A man, I don't know. I think they're they're stretching
out and getting into poorer areas, you know, moving. Yeah,
I don't know they're getting into uh you know, Angel Martinez.
This area isn't San Juana like a really high end city.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
Sure, I mean every place has, you know, some really
high end areas and some not so high end areas.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Not right, it's a beauty.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Yeah, it's a beautiful town.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, it's beautiful. It's an old throwback town. I love it.
I've never seen him before until last year when was
in the parade, so sixty fifth Annual Parade Saturday in
San Juan Capistrata. So come on down.
Speaker 9 (10:53):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Hey, if I am six forty, it's Conway Show. March
Madness is here and we always check in with the
Duke of Sports, Eric Sclora. How you both dang dong? Timmy,
I'm good, buddy. What happened with the Auburn game? I
was watching a little bit of it. They were playing
I believe Alabama's state.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Yeah, you texted me that the spread was thirty two
points Auburn.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Auburn was a thirty two point favorite, and I thought, man,
there's nobody in this tournament should be a thirty two
point favorite because these teams, you know, these players move around.
Now there's no dominant teams anymore.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
They move around, there's no dominant teams anymore. And realistically,
it's March. Anything can happen there.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Right, Exactly what was the final of that? Auburn eighty
three sixty three? So Alabama State covered? Oh, well, eighty
three sixty three. I'm eighty three sixy, No, they didn't
the thirty two point spread. You're right, they missed by
twelve points. No, Alabama State covered. I'm saying, oh, Welbams
State covered? Yes? Yes, yes, yes, yeah, so I thought
you said Auburn, No, Alabama still go to State covered? Yeah,
(11:58):
and look at one point they were almost tied. Yeah,
you know, they had two free throws that they missed. Buddy,
I can't believe in college basketball, how many of these
guys airball these threes. Yeah, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Yeah, I mean, that's just the way the game is, though.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
But you would think by the time you get into
college you could at least hit the backboard of the
rim or something. You would think if you're on a
full right scholarship. I can throw an airball from you know,
twenty two feet out.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Russell Westbrook airball the free throw last night in the
Laker game. So the pros are doing it too. He
airballed a free throw. Yes, wow, Yeah, the Lakers crowd
definitely let him have it too. It was pretty funny.
That's so great?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
All right? What are we looking at? Who made it?
Who didn't?
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Alabama State's out? Alabama State is Have you ever heard
of Alabama State before? Not until yesterday? I either, not
until yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I looked at a niche and they go, oh, Alabama Auburn.
That's a great rivalry. No, it's Alabama State. Yeah, you know,
it's like a junior college somewhere.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
But Alabama and Auburn could play in the National Championship,
so it could be.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And what about Grand Canyon.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
The Grand Canyon University is not in the tournament this year?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
They're not. No, I thought they were. No, I think
they are. I think they are. I think you have
the wrong. I think you have last year's games. I
think you got all right? Who is all right? What
the games? The big games this week? And is UCLA
playing yeah, Ucla plays tonight tonight against two. They play
Utah State. It's a seven to ten matchup.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Obviously, I got UCLA winning that matchup, moving on to
play Tennessee. Tennessee's playing right now against Warford in the
two fifteen matchup in that bracket. But the only upset
today so far was mcnessy State Wow over Clemson. A
twelve seed over a five seed. Okay, so so far
(13:47):
everything's been shocked. I had one other upset in my
bracket that didn't go that way. I had High Point
beating Perdue, the thirteen over the four seed, but Perdue
ended up beating high Point. Apparently. High Point this school,
it's pretty rocket school, and that's kind of the only
reason why I was running with them. They accept apparently
eighty percent of applicants. Too many people drop out from
(14:11):
partying to watch, so I was like, Oh, I think
those guys are gonna go make a run.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I was. I turned the TV on today, and how
did Charles Barkley find his way onto ESPN?
Speaker 6 (14:22):
He was on you No ESPN, No, it had to
be CBS because CBS.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
CBS. I'm sorry, CBS, but he was always he was
always on TNT.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Yeah, Turner and CBS have the right to March Madness,
and so he can kind of flip flop back and
forth during March Madness only cause for NBA strictly, he
is only Turner and TNT right exclusive. But once March
Madness comes and CBS gets involved with it, he can
kind of flip flop between CBS and Turner because TNT
(14:51):
and True TV or the and TBS are the you.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Know, I he agrees with me, or I agree with him,
whatever way you look at it. But I think Arizona
is coming out of the way. I think Florida out
of the East, and I think Florida wins it all.
Interesting because I have Saint John's winning it all. Oh
is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Rick Patino, the old coach from Louisville. Uh, he's had
Saint John's on a run this year. They were one
of the best teams in the country. And with this
whole nil thing. They have an alumni named Micropoli. He's
the founder of body Armor. You know, the sports drainer
right here, Yeah, yeah, literally right there. He dumped in
(15:31):
over a million dollars in NIL money to get to
get recruits for this Saint John's team to get them
to be competitive.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
It's become like pro Yeah, and now.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
The one they're the two seed in the March Madness
and one of the favorites to win the tournament.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
And what about two things? USC he didn't make it, No, okay,
but uc USC and u c l A Women's both
made it, and they both have a very good chance
to win it all. Yeah, by number one seeds, I believe.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yeah, they are both two of the top programs right now. Obviously,
USC has Juju Watkins, one of the best players in
women's college basketball right now after Caitlyn Clark departed last year.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Juju's probably like the next one. That's great. A lot
of people are saying, Okay, so UCLA plays tonight, will
they play again on Sunday if they win. Yeah, if
they win, it'll play Sunday. And who will they played?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
You?
Speaker 6 (16:23):
They would play the winner of Tennessee Warford Tennessee Warford.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Warford is in it again. Yeah, Warford's never been. I
think rand Canyons in it. I think you are smoking
weed if you don't think Rand Canyons. And I don't know, oh,
you know what, I was right?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
I was wrong. Okay, I was wrong. I see this
is the problem. There's so many teams. Now, I know
there's teams. We had the first four games two days
ago and yesterday. Now we got the actual tournament Maryland
versus Grand Canyon home tomorrow at one thirty five pm.
Four matchups, the four seed versus the thirteen seed.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I can't imagine what that they spread is going to be.
Although Grand Canyon usually has a pretty good team. You know,
it's another school that has a high acceptance rate, which
I like. I like schools with ninety percent acceptance, right
like Alabama. You know, you go to Alabama, you just
you just have to have a couple of bucks to
get in and you're in there. Man, all right, we'll
check back with you during the March madness that. Yeah.
(17:19):
So Ucla tonight at seven to ten, uh, six thirty five,
six thirty five, Ucla is playing Utah State, Yes, twenty
five Utah State. Okay, all right, I'm gonna be watching
that and that will that be on CBS or you know,
by the way, Duke, I can't believe LA has zero
of these games. Los Angeles doesn't have any of these games. Yeah,
(17:40):
it's horrible.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Well, Lakers are in regular season with the so they
got Crypto dot com areno on lock Clippers got into
a dome.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Right, but your dome would be a perfect place to
have these games.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Yeah, but I just they probably just couldn't schedule any
They probably have concerts things like that sucks. No, trust me,
I would love to go watch a copang. I would too.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I love these games. All right, buddy, we'll check back
with you. The Duke of the Duke of Sports on socials. Yes,
all right, thanks Bob. Antics City thing.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
We got a lot of stores closing, ma'am. I love
going to stores. I don't like cum clothes, but popular
chains are going away, and even the stores that sell
stuff that you know anyone can afford, like Family, Dollar, Dollar, Tree,
Dollar General. They're having a tough time. Party City is

Coals where I like to buy a lot of my shirts,
twenty seven stores going away, JC Penny's closing eight, and

a it's really mostly crap, but it's cheap, so you
feel like you're getting a bargain. You know, you slide
in there, you can grab some stuff.
Speaker 10 (19:31):
Dollar General is closing nearly one hundred stores. The company
says it plans to closed ninety six locations by January
of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
People don't have money, They don't have enough money to
go to the Dollar General. Dollar General.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
Dollar General CEO says that the number of closings represents
less than one percent of the company's overall store base.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Is that right? Wait a minute, how many are they
closing yours?
Speaker 10 (19:56):
The company says it plans to close ninety six locations.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Okay, they're closing ninety and it's less than one percent
of their stores. God almighty, man. We got a lot
of dollar stores in this country, Dollar Generals, And that's
the beginning of the end. When a dollar store moves up,
you know, moves into your neighborhood, man, oh man, that's
the first sign that things are not going well here.
Pops up the dollars store.
Speaker 10 (20:18):
Dollar General CEO says that the number of closings represents
less than one percent of the company's overall store base.
It also plans to close forty five of Dollar General's home.

everything's in like red and white checker. What is popcore?
You heard of that?
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I've never heard of that. It just reminds me of
like inflatable furniture or something that's right.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I love inflatable furniture.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
I enjoyed that the decision came after a view of
the soore performance and conditions to determine which stores should
be closed or maybe be rebranded now as now it's
not known which locations are set to close.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, that sucks. And then Forever twenty one going out
of business.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Forever no more for four decades, Forever twenty one find
itself on cheap trendy clothing. Yeah, but now the American
fast fashion giant announcing it's filing for bankruptcy and liquidating
its assets.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Honestly, Angel, let me ask you, since baliois in here,
were you a big fan of Forever twenty one? You
ever shot?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Though?
Speaker 7 (21:39):
I used to, I'm going to be totally honest.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I used to, Oh you did, and then you realize
you're not twenty one?
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Well no, no, no, I mean I didn't like shot
from head to toe from that place. Also to take
pieces of incorporate it minee.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Every time I went into Forever twenty one, either my
daughter or my wife, it was packed and we're waiting
in line to pay. You know where they that serpentine
where you get in line, you go back and four
bag and for as you finally pay and that all
the cheap crap is up there, you know, the knickknacks
and stuff. But there was a line every single time
that I was in there every time, And now they're gone, yeah,
(22:19):
I don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
Well, what about your You're going to have to come
up with a new joke and some new materials.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I know, I know, well, you know what, that's not
even for over twenty one. My wife said that to
me over the weekend, because you got to come up
with new material. You know, you have the same jokes
you've had for twenty years, and you don't change your jokes,
you just change your friends. And so they, you know,
they they haven't heard the jokes. But that that even
wasn't even joke. It's a true story that for every
(22:47):
twenty one was opening up a store for plus sized women.
Oh it's true.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Wow? Really yeah? What are they called?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Oh? Thank you? It's called Forever twenty one?
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I know, sick, isn't it sick? Not the people that
are huge me right, The people that are six hundred
pounds are normal. It's the guys that pointed out, go, hey,
I don't think you're I think you're going too fast
here Forever two for one yeah two two in one,
yeah exactly. Well, Forever twenty one, we hardly knew ye
(23:25):
good night and liquidating its assets. Honestly, I think it's
gone kind of downhill.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
The closures come with deep instore discounts and up to
eighty percent off online, and it's bankruptcy filing. The retailer
blamed in part fierce competition from the Chinese retailers she
And and Timu, which key price is low with held from
a trade exemption that allows them to stirt import taxes
and tariffs.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Your clothes aren't a way lower price than Forever twenty one,
so it made it extremely difficult for Forever twenty one
to operate.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
For over twenty one. Founding in Los Angeles, what a
great name though, Forever twenty one, Man, you feel great
going in there. I'm gonna be twenty.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
One for Founding in Los Angeles survived to bankruptcy five
years ago, restructuring and closing more than one hundred stores,
unable to find a buyer for the remaining three hundred
and fifty stores.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
This new bankruptcy is likely to be the end.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Store closures like ones at Forever twenty one are happening
at a time of concern for the US economy, and
the US consumer accounts for about seventy percent of US
economic activity.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Here. The one thing that they got rid of they
had early on at Forever twenty one. They used to
have a guy worked there and he was the tube
top he was the tube top director, and you put
a tube top on and then he would tell you
whether you could still rock a tube top, and if
you didn't, then they wouldn't sell it to you. But
(24:43):
so it was a kind of an odd, you know, job,
sort of circus sy, you know. But the guy was
dead on. Man, I think I could have been that guy.
I think I could have been the guy to look
at at men and women who were wearing tube tops
and say, no, sweetie, it's it's over.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
February figures show a tighty.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Remember that guy, Yeah, yeah, no, I bet he's you know,
it's I guess your birthday, you know, he goes, you
put a tube top. I it's like.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
No. February figures show a tiny uptake and consumer spending
up point two percent for retail sales, but below a
Dow Jones forecast for eight point six percent rise. Forever
twenty one joins the likes of Party City and craft
Store Joanne as iconic retailers now going bus.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
They're all going away? What are we gonna do?
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Me?
Speaker 4 (25:31):
As a teenager, it really was like, let's go to
fever twenty one.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
But now I'm almost thirty, so I'm like, not forever
twenty one anymore, not forever twenty one anymore. Yeah, Richie,
you seem like a forever twenty one guy? Was that
your hang?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I was back in the dizabe? Not anymore? Where'd you
get your clothes?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Now? Yeah? Would you go to Coohle's? Where's that? Two
dad vibes for the me? Okay? Yeah, what does dad mean?
Does that mean heterosexual?
Speaker 6 (25:59):
No?
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Dad vibes means like a polo shirt or whatever you wear? Okay,
where do you go to buy your duds? I honestly thrift.
A lot of my clothes I take from my father.
I know, quote unquote Dada clothes, but like cool Dada clothes,
you know.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
But yeah, I do a lot of online shopping, to
be honest. I look for off season stuff.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
You know. I got to make my dollar run as
much as I can sure, so I buy all my
summer stuff in the winter and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
So what is what of your dad's Do you wear shirts? Paints? Yeah? Everything?
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Like all his like beat up Wrangler jeans, like oversized
kind of thing. He's like, he tells my mom like, oh,
you can donate or throw these out or send them
to Mexico. And then I go through them before that happened,
and I rock him.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Okay, you know I have some old jeans. I bring
him in maybe can rock those. Are you a sice thirty? No,
you're thirty? No, I'm just playing what are you thirty two? Yeah?
I'm a thirty two? Yeah? Oh I think every guy's
at thirty two. I think so too. Yeah, or do
you crows? You at thirty two? Thirty four? Hello? Okay,
well thirty two to thirty four is the same as man, Yeah, right,
(27:05):
a man, man, you're not a child at thirty two? Exactly.
I eat food. Yeah. I saw jeans the other day
twenty nine, Like, who's buying that? Don't you just steal those?
None of that.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Stuff's even applicable anymore because of the elastic jeans. Now,
they keep the size the same, but they're not actually
that size, you know, thirty four is not a thirty four.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Thirty two is not a thirty two. Right? Do you
notice in the summer there's elastic on the side, and
there's buttons you can adjust your shorts, you know, because
you eat a lot in the summer, then you go
up and down in the summer. But why don't they
do that the rest of the season. You know, in
the winter, I eat as much crap as I do
in the summer. There should be elastic on my my jeans.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
Do the opposite some Thanksgiving jeans or something.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
That's right, they should have Thanksgiving jeans. I think it's
a great idea.
Speaker 9 (27:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway jun you're on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

need to get into that. Huh No, Hey, by let
me ask you something because I've noticed this around my
house when you're doing something, you're working in the yard
or you know, you're I don't know, you're working inside,
you're fixing something on the inside, you're sweeping or cleaning whatever.
(30:14):
Do you ever do you ever hear this from anybody
else in the house? Hey, dad, can I.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
Give you a hand?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
But you remember when you were a kid and you
you your dad was working in the yard. You always
went out and worked with them. Yeah. It was fun. Yeah,
you know to get out in the yard work with dad. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I mean sometimes you know Dad would have to say
let's go right, and once you were out there.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Man, it was like yeah, all right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
a little quality time with dad. But now with these
cell phones, man, you can't get these kids that lift anything. Man,
they don't. They don't like to do anything. Occasionally, I
got stuff to do, Dad. That's really because it looks
like you're doing nothing. My dad would buy, you know,
a gallon of paint and then give every one of
(31:03):
his kids a paint brush and we'd paint like the
shed or the garage. It wouldn't look great, but it
was just something we did. You know. My dad had
pictures of it, and I remember those days, you know,
where everybody as a family we painted something. We're like
Amish for a day. You know, if they want to
rebuild the Palisades or Alta Diena, let's get the Amish
in here for a couple of months. You're seeing the
(31:24):
videos where the Amish put together a huge ass barn
in one day. Yeah, they just whittle each log one
at a time. They put they put together a big
red barn, you know, thousands of square feet. Everybody gets
together to do it. Yeah, the nine hundred guys get together.
They all have skills. They're all craftsmen, they're all finished carpenters,
and they all get on top of that barn and
they finish it in one day. One day. They put
(31:46):
together a big, huge ass red barn. They seal the roof,
it's all weather proved. It's in you knows, or eastern
Ohio or western Pennsylvania, and it lasts for hundreds of years,
and they put it up in one day, one day.
So let's get the Amish out here. Let's show them
where the palisades are, show them where out the Dean is.
(32:08):
Get the Amish out here to rebuild this state. And
they can do it in one day, one day. Why
Miley Cyrus. I know we got a lot of big
fans of Miley Cyrus. She has has been unable to
dismiss this lawsuit for that salt of Flowers, which I
believe she wanted granty for. So she's in some trouble here.
(32:28):
It's going on.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
In September twenty twenty four, Tempo Music Investments, which owns
a share of the copyright in Mars's twenty thirteen hit,
claimed Cyrus had copied his hit. Miley Cyrus won't be
able to dismiss a copyright lawsuit alleging similarities between her
twenty twenty three hit Flowers and Bruno Mars's twenty thirteen
(32:50):
track When I Was Your Man. In an order denying
the motion to dismiss on Tuesday, March eighteenth, and obtained
by people.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
By the way, is Bruno Mars in Vegas trying to
settle his debt? I heard he lost like fifty million
dollars and now he's playing, you know, four five concerts
a week to try to make that go away. Is
that somebody else? Am I just on the moon?
Speaker 6 (33:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
That's him. That's him. Yeah, right, he lost tens of
millions of dollars. Yeah, gambling, and now he's got to
play one hundred and fifty or two hundred concerts. Yeah,
God almighty, that's great. My kind of guy, by the way,
my kind of guy.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
A judge denied the Wrecking Ball musician's request to dismiss
the lawsuit from Tempo Music Investments, which owns a share
of the copyright from marsa.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Oh Boy from Fright Away from What, from.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
Purchasing the catalog rights from the song's co writer, Philip Lawrence.
According to the order, Cyrus thirty two and her legal
team had a misunderstanding of the legal precedent surrounding. What
exclusive means?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Is that right? I didn't know what that meant. Exclusive means, Yeah,
what does exclusive mean? I don't know. Why don't you
try to figure that out?
Speaker 8 (34:01):
Exclusive means, which the judge deemed incorrect. Ownership of exclusive
rights is not to be conflated with exclusive ownership of rights.
The exclusive rights are what is owned collectively by the
