Here, everybody please be seeing it. Oh am overwhelmed. It's

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Then you have an exciting story that you want to
lay on everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Exciting. It's just it is a story, is a story
of traveling and involves the Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Okay, Well, Belly sold it to me as a very
funny story.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well it's that's different than exciting though.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Did she oversell it?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
No? I think it's funny, Okay, I just think it's exciting.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I don't know if I said very.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You said exciting, Tim and then very excited. How did
you pitch it, Bellia?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I said, Mark, is a funny story to tell you.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Okay, all right, which I think that's a fair way
to character.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Okay, all right, we'll get to it, but first we
have some serious news. We've got flash flooding. I had
the warning on my TV. I have Spectrum and it
comes on Spectrum and says, you know, you have flash
flooding LA County. It's not near me. But I like
the fact that I know that people are you know,
are running for their lives, are being warned. I see,
(01:08):
you know, because most people I think that get wiped
out by floods are probably watching TV. It's a great
way to get a hold of people who are about
to hit get hit by floods because they're home.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
If I think people that are are you know, they're working,
They're getting out there. You can see the clouds, you
can see things developing, you can talk to other people.
It's people home alone get wiped out.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh that's a good point. You know.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
If you've got a social circle, you got work, you
got a church, you go to. People talk like, hey,
you know, two weeks ago we had this flood. Oh,
get to look for those clouds.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You know, somebody calls you and goes, hey, you know
there's a flood. Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
You got friends for your social network, You got texting
a group of friends like, hey, we're getting hit in
Apple Valley. It's coming towards Victorville. You know, beware. Okay,
all right, but it's the guy with the cheetos at home,
you know, watching daytime TV that gets wiped out. Yea,
his own world.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I'm just curious you had the TV on. I'm guessing
you weren't just sitting there watching it. It's probably on
in the back. It was on in the background, you're right, yeah,
so what do you have on in the background? Fox News?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It's always well, okay, here, I'll go through my TV viewing.
I don't really start till late. I like to start late.
What is late one o'clock, okay. I don't like to
get any news until one. I read online and stuff.
But sure, one o'clocker with Glenn Walker and Channel five
of course. Yeah, then I go obviously I want to
see what the five is doing on Fox at two o'clock. Yeah,
(02:32):
that's right. Well it's five o'clock in the east.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, okay, so.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Look at that, and then that's it. I got to
get ready and go to work.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
For sure.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
That's fine.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's the one o'clocker with Glenn Walker and then and
then it's the five. Okay. And so it was during
the five that you saw in the warning.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You know, I don't know, that's interesting. I don't I
don't remember if it was right between you know, it's
right around two o'clock.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's on the background. To be fair to you, like
I get that you may not keep track react right
came so we've got the warnings going on the flash flooding.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Right, and you are an ex weathermans, you can tell
us more than I can. How do those develop over
the desert that's so dry and yet they produce these
rain clouds that have so much water mark, Well.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
They have enough in the air mass in the way
of water that you can with rapid vertical development, which
is what you get with that kind of heat. You
remember heat of rises, right, Warm air rises, Warm air,
you know, super warm air in the desert rises very quickly.
So when you have that warm air, you know, hot air,
(03:37):
you might call it rising quickly, it takes what little
moisture there is and creates thunderstorms and you get Usually
you need some entrainment of tropical moisture to get really
big ones like there's oftentimes there's some flow from the south.
I haven't looked at any maps. I don't know what
is going on, but typically in August we get that
(03:57):
we get a southwesterly flow or southerly flow out of
Mexico and there's enough tropical moisture I mean, doesn't need
to take much in trained in that flow that when
you get that lifting in that heat, that produces the
intense thunderstorms. Of course, the mountains are the other place
that really create that lift, right, the air has to
get over the mountains, and that lift is already beginning.
(04:19):
So between the lift and the heat and that little
bit of moisture you have thunderstorms.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I had a different theory that it was a lot
of those clouds developed over the anger of the cracker
barrel logo chain.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, there is. This is nature's kickback on
cracker barrel.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
That's right. Well, look what was it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Coming to ask you?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
All?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
The the protest was over the fact that the old
guy he used to be next to this barrel.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
That's right, he was the cracker in the barrel?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I see now? Is he the cracker like that we
talk about? You know, West people are crackers, right yeah? Oh,
I see again, and they like that.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I didn't realize that crackers like to be represented every
once in a while. You don't really get an opportunity
to get out there as a cracker. Wow, as a
confirmed cracker man.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You know, yeah, I think that really would pretty much
do the confirmation party for you.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And so that's where crackers like to go. Yeah, to
the cracker barrel?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Sure do you stop at the cracker barrel on the
way to Vegas? It's a good one. I don't, but
I there's a real good one, tim.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Is that right? If you stopped there?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Really? Yeah? I love it there. Yeah, I feel like.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I'm on the road. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going.
I don't stop for a five course meal.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
No, it's not a five course stopped for I think
we either stopped for recharging it the tesla reach.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Og Oh see, I got I got gas, So I'm
two minutes I'm gone. Oh I see, Yeah, you got
an hour and a half to.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Get it's much more like forty minutes.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
But have a year away forty minutes? Doesn't that get irritating?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Well? You stop for to go to the bathroom? How
long does that take?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Okay? Five minutes and fill up?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Seven minutes?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
All right? So I have thirty three minutes more than
you do.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
We do.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I go into crack up out and I find a
license plate that says Conway, and I go, hey, I
found a license plate.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Decision, But isn't it thirty three minutes. Isn't that a
long time on a road trip to be a sidelined
you like, like when you're driving cross country, driving up
to Oregon or wherever you're going, don't you try to,
you know, pick stop? Don't you try to? You know, like, okay,
we're going to stop. You get out of the guard,
you go, get gass, you go, get the sodas, you
get the chips, you gotta go take the go, go go.
Let's get back to.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
The car and go. So, of course, you're right, that's
one kind of road trip that there's also maybe it's
just the fact that you know there's a zen to
building in a forty five minute stop, but you kind
of go, this is great. We get to stop down,
we get to stretch our legs, we get to get
something to eat, we get to go to the bathroom,
and then we're back and forty five You know it's
you don't have to eat in the car, you can
(06:48):
eat wherever. They kind of but you're right, there's a
maybe that's our rationale.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It doesn't always depends. Also if there's someone with you, yes,
it absolutely does. Yeah, one hundred percent. I remember when
we were driving an organ I was gonna pump the gas.
My wife was gonna you know, She's like me, we
gotta get in and out and go. And I said,
she goes want anything to drink?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I said, yeah, give me a large coke mostly ice,
you know, because I like to have ice for the road.
You know, it gets hot in there and you can
pour another drink or coke whatever. So she comes out,
she gives me the drink. It's filled with ice and
there's about an inch of coke on the bottom. So
that's not what mostly ice means. Mostly ice is full
(07:31):
coke with lots of ice.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah. I guess you're right. A new thing, you know,
But it sounds like you've got some quality control issues
on your road trips. Yeah, a little bit. But it's
my lovely wife's birthday today. How about that's really cool?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, so that's a cool deal.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's so what are you doing for a birthday?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
We're going out tomorrow night to a very fancy restaurant.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, what's the name of it? At the cracker Barrel?
Going out the cracker Barrel. She likes cracker. He whole
family's uh, you know, cracker barrel, crackers, well, cracker barrel fans.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I see, I get it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I get I get notes if I call them crackers
on the air well.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I as I say, I stopped there, I think it's
a I didn't even realize what.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Did you have there? Because I can't imagine they're waiting
for electric car vegans.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Well, it's funny to say this because they have set
for you. They have a veggie burger, Is that right? Yeah?
Yeah they do.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Do you go back and make sure it's not cooked
near the meat burgers?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I don't do that, Tim, But I know you're mocking
me right now. But it's nice that the crackers at
least have some they've extended a warm hand, which you
might want to think about, Tim, when you ordered the
vegan community.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
When you ordered the vegan burger, did they have to
make a couple of calls on how to actually perform
the preparation?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
And oh my god, we haven't sold one of these days?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
What do we back behind those boxes? Where are they know?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
They're patties? Are somebody kind of look like meatful? We
can't find them?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Is this meatless?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Fine? I'll get a whirl. Shouldn't have been refrigerated? Now
there's no meat. Didn't you have to refrigerate? Know, he's
never noticed the difference is your girlfriend also vegan?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Wow too. You go into cracker barrel, that's great.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I'll tell you what does that recall? I had some
soup or something. When you walk in, you know, open arms, man,
open Armswhere eating at a cracker barrel?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You've never it.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I walked inside where the front part is. It's just
so overwhelmed me, like, I gotta leave the front.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So the front part that the grocer's talking about it
is all. It's all this chatch key stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Right, It's like a hoarder's paradise exactly. Yeah, they should
have named it Acord hoarders barrel. But it's all it's
all the crap you wouldn't pick up at a at
a yard sale. On the walls, it's all right there.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
That's a great description of it.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It is. That's what's on the walls. You know, crap
they couldn't get rid of in a yard sale.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I love that stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Think that was in the building when they decided to
make it a cracker barrel.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It's got that cat with the eyes going back and forth.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I love those Yeah, I love that stuff, I really do.
I love this stuff where it's just a solar thing
where the minute the sun comes out or the lights
on it, all sudden starts dancing.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I love those the dancing cactus.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah. Yeah. I was in New York and I went
to one of those places and there are all these
Empire State buildings. They have every kind of Empire stabilding,
copper Upire State buildings. They have these authentic Empire State buildings,
big ones, small ones. I said, hey, do you have
any where the sun hits the thing and it kind
of wiggles a little bit. That's what I'm looking for.
He said, no, we do not.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We did not have that. There's no way. He had
to point it to you when you asked him about
the Empire State Building. Was the Empire State Building? Yes,
there's no way. He said, do you have a shaking
Empire State Building? There's no way. He went vegan. That
doesn't seem veganish at all. All right, I want to
come back. We got some breaking news, I believe coming
(10:59):
out of Compton. There were there were three people shot.
Let me try, let me try to get this in
real quick here. And then Mark's got a story in Quebec.
This is developing here though in South LA. In South
Los Angeles, there has been a shooting and five people
were shot. So let me try to squeeze that in
(11:19):
here for people listening. Hey, Sammy, can you turn the
computer on?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
That shooting apparently happening at this market on the corner
of FIGAROA and eighty fifth Street. You could see some
yellow tape down there, lots of debris and some evidence markers.
As well as that investigation gets underway. We are learning
from the fire department that there have been five victims
that were struck by gunfire. One person self transported, one
(11:46):
person is in critical two and serious, and one person
with minor injuries. So a total count of five gun
shot wound victims here in South LA and a major
investigation underway. There is also police activity the surrounding areas here.
Not sure if they are still looking for a suspect
or what those details are all about just yet, but
of course we will continue to stay on top of
(12:07):
this developing story reporting live Mare seven up. Chris CHRISTI
ABC seven. I would just do and.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Then you got in Pee RIVERA thirteen year old kid
was shot and dead shot and killed waiting for his
mom to get off work. And then another guy was
killed at a Pico Rivera gas station as well a
week ago. It's it's the summer of anger, man, It
is that?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
What that is?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, this is the summer of anger. There is a
lot fifteen year old kid, what is that about? A
lot of people out there are really angry? And I
don't know, well, I guess I know what it is.
They're hot and they're broke. You know, people are hot
and broke. They can afford they can afford guns and bullets. Yeah,
but the people are angry as hell out there.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
That's sad.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
But we'll try to watch calm that down for the
next two hours, and now.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
You can chill the community out, I think.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, we'll try with your very hilarious story.
I relyve on caf KFI. It's Conway shown. What is that?
Oh yeah yeah in Tarzana? Yeah yeah, I did I
witness that. Yeah, yeah, that's a wild all right, Mark.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Tim Tim broke up a home depot. I saw I
saw people stealing Oh that's right, remember this, you told
the story. They still were stealing drills. It saws Is
that recalled.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah it was, God came it was. It was two
jig saws, two drills, and a leaf blower. And it
happened in the Burbank home depot and I was there,
and they grabbed all this stuff as a man and
a woman, which is unusual. You know, it's very difficult
to get your wife involved in that.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
You know, they're like a family operation.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You did it, but the wife is usually the the
better half in the sane one that says, you know,
why don't we just save up and maybe we'll buy one.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, we all drive the getaway car. I don't actually, you.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Know, but she was hot. She was stealing too, So
they were stealing Crozier.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Robi or Roby? What's that Roby? Okay, so they're stealing,
and I think Roby is the home depot. I think
home depot owns Roby. I don't see Roby anywhere else
other than home depot. And so they're stealing Roby. Two
Roby drills to Roby Sanders and a Roby leaflow Riobi.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, no, they home depot does not own them.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
They don't know. I've never seen anywhere other than home depot.
And so as they're leaving. You know, I'm walking in
and I see the commotion and they walk by me. Know,
he go, hey, you're stealing the cheap crap. You know,
you got to go in there and get the Milwaukee stuff.
You know, you gotta get the the stuff that you
can move for some money. This is both you know,
if you're gonna steal, you might as well steal. It's
(14:44):
the same weight, you know, and you get Yeah, I
might as well take the good stuff. I mean, these
these idiots have never been a had a tool in
their hand.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Home Depot does not own them, but they do have
an exclusivity agreement with them. Oh, I see, that's why
you only see Reobi's in the home Depot.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, I have a Riobi mower.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I got a Reoby leaf blower and saals all. I
got a tree trimmer.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I got all.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I got all that Reobi stuff. You know, it's for
guys who are not really going into the business of construction. Sure,
you know, it's just the relaxed fellows. But I did
buy a green Works. I'm a nut for the leaf blower.
I love leaf blowers, and I'm looking for the most
powerful one. I did a lot of research during the break.
I finally ordered a GreenWorks sixty volt leaf blower, and man,
(15:32):
there's some kick to it. It's like a turning a
jet engine on Crozier. You'd love this thing. I got
to bring it in and show it to you.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
GreenWorks consistently does a pretty good job of impressing me
more and more.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
It was a two hundred and seventy dollars leaf blower,
but I got it at Walmart, you know, because up
in Oregon when summer ends, they get rid of all
their crap. It's not like here in La where they
just hold it on the shelf all year long. And
so I got it for seventy bucks. And it's unbelieve
I got. I'll bring it into Marrow and I'll show
it to you.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I wish everybody who has a combustion engine leaf flower
would get what you just described. I mean, it is
obnoxious smell. I'll give you that smell of gas and noise. Yeah,
and the noise is just brutal. Man.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
But I will say the one problem with the with
the leaf flower is it is so powerful that the
battery it says it can you know, it can blow
a three quarters of an acre. Not really, Oh really,
it can maybe do your driveway and then, but you
got to buy more batteries. You gotta have a couple
of backups. But Croze, what kind of leaf flower do
you have?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It's an older one. I don't really use it too much,
but I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna bring mine in tomorrow
and you're gonna want one of these. Yeah, it's unbelievable, unreal.
All right, So we only have about a minute. But
I know you you had something happened to you that Sorry, ready,
but you are the one to wait for the segment.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I mean, I don't know. I just feel like a
lot of anxiety and pressure now and not only make
the story good, but also to you know, cram it
into a minute. I know if I can do that.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Do you remember what was it? Who is the guy
that created Amazing Stories? Remember that? I think it was
the guy that did Spielberg Spielberg Stielberg. Yeah, he did
a TV series called Amazing Stories. Well, if that's the
title of it, that's a high bar, you know, And
if every story has to be amazing.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I think after the second one people were going, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I mean, you know, Chips was one of my favorite
shows growing up, and I knew they were in trouble
because the second episode of Chips, there's an A story
to a B story. The A story was somebody was
shooting people on the freeway. The B story somebody was
stealing the plants off the shoulders of the freeway. I'm like, well,
this this is wow. This is two episode episodes. Yeah,
(17:51):
that's someone's stealing the trees off the shoulder of the
two eight of the one ten or one eighteen freeway. Man,
this is gonna be short, all right. So when you
come back, well, here the equivalent of your of Spielberg's
amazing story. You're amazing.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I have quick chips fifteen seconds or less. Note when
they're calling in La Mary whatever, you've seen them, put
the microphone in front of there. He's looking down. First
of all, they loop all of that, and then if
you if see his lips moving he's looking down. It's
all written. Yeah, it's all little pieces of the script
are written on the bike, and it is hilarious.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, he couldn't memorize that.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Memorize the La Mary. If I said, and we're gonna
couldn't just write it, just.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Put it down there. Okay, I'll give him this that
when I did, when I was working with Paul Anderson
on Liquor's Pizza, he gave me a little tiny part.
He threw me a bone, you know, because he knows my, my, my,
you know, true love is the silver screen. And he
gave me, throw me, threw me a bone, and gave
me this little tiny part. And there's three lines. He
(18:54):
gave me the script in February, and we're gonna shoot
in June. And I showed up on the set in June.
He goes, you're ready to go. I'm like, yeah, do
you find me? Was going to run lines for you
guys don't use Q cards and he goes, Jesus Christ.
(19:14):
It was four months and three lines.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I was working on some other projects. I think, change
to lig at this.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I said, look, that's not That's one of the reasons
I'm not in this game. I can't memorize.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Sorry, a little busy.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I'm the paunch of the of the of the of
the Paul Anderson movies. All right, wake come back, I
Mark's got a story for us. We're live on KFI.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Six forty. It is The Conway Show. There was a
very successful space launch, SpaceX launch, I should say NASA
their tenth try at that big huge rocket and that
just went off and Channel two, five, seven, nine eleven
didn't cover it, but Channel four covered it live. You
got to give him a props for that.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
You know Colleen Williams over there at a girl a
little kudos over there? Run that live. I like to
look at that.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Do you think she had something to do with that?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
No? Maybe though her husband is a pilot.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
That's right, he's used to be a jet fighter pilot.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Oh, I didn't know that. I think I think he's
a commercial pilot.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Now. I may have dressed that up. Oh I don't remember.
It's been so long.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I don't know if he's retired or not. But I
think he flies for United Airlines.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Oh. I always thought he was like a okay, very
nice guy, top getting kind of guy.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I may have been.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I think I've embellished it. Maybe in my mind.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
May have been. Hey, so what happened to you? Was
it over vacation or what would you do.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I just got back from one of your favorite towns,
Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Oh I love that town.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Huge delay on the way back. And I was there
at the airport and I am told because I have
the app there, the Southwest app, and they keep revising
the time of the departure and it keeps going later
and later and letters and now listening, it's gonna be
like three and a half four hours late. And I'm there.
(21:09):
So I said, I I'm gonna pop an edible, just
kind of chill, you know, No need to get all
agitated about it. Got no place to be. So I
put on my sunglasses and tired, of course, wiped out.
I'm still wiped out from the Vegas trip. And then
it's time to go over to the gate. And go
(21:29):
over to the gate, and young lady maybe thirty ish
comes over to me and she says, uh, and I'm
just really like in my phone because I don't want
to interact with anybody because I'm because I'm buzzed right
And so she says, I'm watching you right now on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I said, oh my gosh, thank you so much. She said,
oh yeah, should I watch you all the time? I said,
oh that that's really and that was really good. And
now I'm talking to her though, and I'm feeling super
self conscious about being buzzed. And then and so I'm thinking,
this is just I don't want to be rude, but
I also don't want I can't continue this because this
is just I'm so worried about what I'm going to say.
(22:07):
And am I saying too much? I'm not saying enough.
I'm trying to go to her.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You're just enjoying the edible, I guess hun.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
So then a guy has heard me talking to her.
He goes, Mark Thompson, Wow, he said, I recognize your
voice anywhere. I said, oh my gosh, thank you so much.
And now I'm really getting now I'm super nervous, super
self conscious. And then he says, I used to listen
(22:34):
to Mark and Brian every morning for years. You're so great.
And I said, I'm Mark Thompson, but I'm not that
Mark Thompson is exactly what I said to him, And
then he says, no, really, He said, you know, I
used to drive to work and every day listen to you.
And he said, you guys are just so terrific. Are
(22:57):
you still in touch with Brian, and I said, not
the same Mark Thompson as Mark and Brian. And he goes,
because I just always you guys always just seem like
you're friends, you know what I mean, like you're such
close friends. But I always heard it. I'm thinking, I
don't know, I can't say it any other way than
I've said it, you know, So then I just kind
of nod and go yep, yep, yep, you know everything
(23:19):
else he said, He said, you know, whatever it was,
it was lunacy, and it was amplified because I'm in
this altered state. So I sort of feel like, you
don't want to get to do a big thing with
this guy over you know the fact that you're not
that Mark Thompson. Just let it go, Like I know
Conway would not. Connor would just played along like he's
Mark from Mark and Bryan. Yeah, and you would have
(23:39):
just you never would have corrected him, was what I
was thinking.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Exactly right, right, right right, But but that that, and
so what did you do? Did you end up signing autographs?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
So I get on the plane first of all, then
they don't bring they take the plane out of service,
So now we're in another hour delay for another plane
to come in, and it was a five and a
half hour delay in total. And of course the guys
I'm talking to, they were really really nice. The guy
who thought I was Mark Thompson from Mark and Brian,
(24:09):
and he was super nice. He ended up in the
seats right behind me, so like I felt, gosh, I
really like this guy. Would love to stay in touch
with them. But he thinks I'm someone totally different than
I am, and it's too late for me to correct him.
So it was just a wave at the airport farewell
and that was the end of it.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
My dad was a similar thing happened to him. We
were up in Big Bear in the safeway up there
in Big Bear, and a guy comes up to my
dad and goes, hey, i'd love you on the television.
And I just said, oh, right down, thank you very much.
I appreciate that. And he said and he said, man,
he goes, I love the first show you did, and
(24:49):
my wife loved the second show that you did. The
first sitcom was was great, but the second one she
really enjoyed. And he said, my dance saying, you know what,
the two sitcoms that I had that were really successful,
that this guy liked and I have a guest. Yeah,
and he says he says which one. He goes the
(25:11):
first one, the Bob Newhart Show was great, and then
the second one my wife really liked. He goes, oh,
I go, oh, thank you very much. He goes, can
I autograph because it sure and he'd signed Bob Newhart.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
So somewhere out there there's a guy who has a
Bob Newhart autograph that was signed by my den.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Oh, I love that. And I told you. When I
arrived in Washington, d C. To go visit my mom,
I was ambushed by those Remember there's more than one guy.
It was three guys saying Aaron Sorkin. And I said, no, no, no, no, no,
I'm not Aaron Sorkin. He said, come on, man, he
said look, he said, we come all this way and
waited for you. Will you just sign this? And I said, dude,
(25:49):
I'm not Aaron Sorkin and he said, no, no, no, seriously, man,
and then he points me down to what he's holding.
He's holding a West Wing script. Okay, but it's it's
pasted to like a what do you call it? Poster board?
So they're too, he said, just signed the cover. I said, dude,
I'm not Aaron Sorkin. I mean, this doesn't make any sense.
(26:11):
And then the other two guys goes, I don't know
why he's being this way, blah blah blah, this is crazy.
And then they staked out the luggage area and then
on the way out when I got the luggage here,
come on, let's come on, man, I'm begging you please.
They just never could get the message that Aaron Sorkin was.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Did you sign it?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
This is again if I wish i'd been your dad,
I would have loved Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
That's what you gotta do, you know, just go with it, Yeah, exactly, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Your dad had the right idea. Just get it over early, man,
I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
We are live on k IF. I am six forty.
Were covering the flash flooding out in the Arizona out
in the upper desert, I should say, And that could
be pretty radical there are out there. You know, the
Emergency Weather's Service is forecasting extreme flash flooding possibility, so
you got to be aware if you're in the high
desert or low desert anywhere out there. And that could
(27:03):
be pretty radical out there covering that also a shooting
in South Los Angeles, five people shot. We're covering those
stories and more right here on AM six forty. It's
Conway Thompson. Oh sorry, I'm really sorry. Was talking to
Mark Thompson. Mark Thompson's here's Conways Show. Welcome back to everybody.
Let me tell you a quick story here, because these
(27:24):
kind of guys need a huge shoutouts. I was driving
from Portland to Los Angeles. I left Saturday and stayed
in Rolling Hills satday night, and I continued on Sunday
and I got home Sunday afternoon like around four o'clock.
Easy drive. Compared to the old days. Then we talked
about these yesterday. But the old days you only had
(27:46):
the AM stations that were in the area that you'd
listened to, and you'd be lucky if you could catch
a football game or a baseball game or a sports
talk or whatever. And then a lot of Sunday is
a lot of religious stations. And I don't mind that.
You know, you pop it on and you know feel,
you know, you get an idea of the local community
what's going on. So but now with with iHeart, you know,
(28:06):
app YouTube, with you know, Spotify, all this stuff. You
can literally listen to anything you want in the world, anything,
And so I listen to a Corolla's podcast, a couple
of those listening to Petro Some Money, a couple of
episodes of their show, and the drive goes by like that,
you know, when you're listening to something you like, all
(28:27):
of a sudden, you're like, Holy Christ, I did three
hundred miles. It seems like I did ten, but which
is great. So I whenever I leave and I've got
a drive, and I knew there was a heat wave
coming because everybody talks about it. So I knew that
the desert was going to be one hundred and fourteen degrees.
And once I leave Ashland, Oregon, it's all desert. A
(28:47):
little bit a little bit of relief in Mount Shasta,
it's all desert until you get to Magic Mountain. You know,
it's it's eight hundred miles of desert. So I wanted
to make sure I was drive my wife's car back.
I want to make sure that the oil, the cooling,
everything was fine. So I call a guy up at
this fast Lube and Oil in Saint Helen's, Oregon, and
(29:09):
I said, hey, can I come in for a lube.
Not a lube, I'm an oil change. And also can
you look at the coolant and maybe flush it out
and refill the cool He goes, yeah, yeah, it was
gonna be one hundred and thirty or no, ninety nine
dollars for the coolant, and then the oil change was
gonna be out one hundred and thirty five or whatever.
It's gonna be a couple hundred bucks, maybe two fifty
out the door. So I bring the car in. I'm
(29:31):
the only guy. There is three guys working that day.
It was a Thursday of last week. And the guy
opens up the hood and he looks at the coolant.
He undoes it carefully so it doesn't explode in his face.
And he looks at it and he says that. He goes,
that coolan's some really good shape. You don't need to coolant.
It's about a half inch low. I'll just fill it
(29:52):
with coolant. You'll be good to go on that. And
I said what about the oil, And he opens up
brings stakes out the oil stick, and he said, this
is really clean oil, and it's and it's actually right
exactly where it should be for this kind of car.
And and he said, I'd just be ripping you off
if I gave you an oil change. This car doesn't
need an oil change for another five, maybe seven thousand miles.
(30:14):
And I said, oh, I said okay, And he said
he shuts the hood and he says, have a nice day.
And and that's extraordinary. I couldn't believe that. Yeah, you know,
in today's day and age, where everybody's trying to pinch
you this fast lube and oil, they made a customer
for life. And I'm gonna tell that story to a
thousand people. But that's the way, you know, you get
(30:36):
outside of LA and you get treated like that.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I remember driving a cross country with my brother Jake,
and we're going from LA to Toronto. I was working
in Toronto and they gave me a rented car and
I was going to drive a nice, beautiful Mustang across
country with my brother. It's one of the high highlights
of my life. One of the beautiful trips of mine.
Went through Yellowstone and the whole thing. So we're we're
in in South Dakota and my my brother is complaining
(31:01):
for two or three days about a toothache. He had
a toothache and my brother never complains about anything. Man,
this guy is an assault of the earth, never in
tough as nails. But he's complaining. So we got to
Sioux City, Iowa. No, it wasn't. He was South Dakota,
I was. It was somewhere in South Dakota, small little town.
And I opened up the Yellow Pages and I just
(31:21):
started calling Dennis and I find an emergency dental service.
And I called the number and the lady says, emergency dental.
You know South Dakota and Vermilion, I think it was.
And I he said, let me put you through to
the doctor. And she picks up. It's a woman who's
a dentist. She picks up. She can I help you?
(31:42):
It Saturday morning, eight o'clock in the morning. I said, yeah,
we're traveling cross country. My brother is a toothache. And
she said, I'll meet you at the office in ten minutes.
I lived nearby. I'll get one of my assistants when
we meet to the office ten minutes. We're there in
five because I was very close to it. And she
showed up five minutes later. She was there about ten
minutes and she opens the door, go and she turns
the lights on, the air conditioning on, and how can
(32:02):
I help you. My brother's got a horrible toothache. And
she said, okay, she gets X rays, she examines him,
she does the whole run, and she said, I'll be
able to pull it. And she said, you have insurance.
And my brother said no, doesn't have dental insurance. And
she said, okay, then we'll just charge you cash. She
pulled a tooth filled to others, gave him a teeth
(32:23):
cleaning sixty nine dollars. That's crazy, sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Well, when when was this?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
It was nineteen ninety four, five, ninety ninety five, nineteen
ninety five. That's but you know what, once you leave
La New York, Chicago, Miami, you know these big cities,
you run into people who treat you the way you
should be treated.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Maybe that's extraordinary, though, I mean, that's an extrame. I bet,
I bet regardless of the community.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I'll bet you listeners who are listening to kfive right now,
if you're from smaller communities than Indiana, you know, in
the south, the East, maybe the northwest, and you were
born and raised in one of these small little communities,
or you've had some experience in one of these small towns,
you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. There are people
who just treat you honestly. And I can't tell you
(33:16):
the fast Loube and Oil up there in Saint Helens.
I don't know if it's a chain or not. I
think it is, but this, this company is going to
be around forever. When you treat people like that, I'll
always go to a place like that where I know
I'm treated with that sure, of course, of course, it's
unbelievable and I celebrate though. You know people out there
who are you know, not ripping you off? Isn't that crazy?
(33:37):
Where we are now?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Its business people and it's not. And they're just as
you said, They're just individuals helping other individuals, right, And.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
They live in the community. They live in that little
small little town in Saint Helens, and they know if
they rip somebody off, did they go to school with
the guy or at the guy's dad or the guy's brother,
the guy's cousin, and where gets out and then they
close down in six buttons?
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Well, I think they also it sounds to me like
the people were talking about don't have the instinct to
rip anybody off. Anything that's right. They don't even have
to do the arithmetic on what it's going to mean
if they do blah blah. You know, they just don't.
They don't do that. They don't have that move.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
And they seem all three guys seem to be happy
that they were working. Sure, you know, they're all like,
you know, young, they got that young energy, and they're like, buddy,
look this car is in great shape. Have a great
trip across across country. Wow, it was great man, good times.
My real Lives. Conway Thompson on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps KFI AM
six forty. It's Conway Show. Mark Thompson is yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Here, everybody please be seeing it. Oh am overwhelmed. It's
so we got breaking news.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Then you have an exciting story that you want to
lay on everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Exciting. It's just it is a story, is a story
of traveling and involves the Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Okay, Well, Belly sold it to me as a very
funny story.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well it's that's different than exciting though.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Did she oversell it?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
No? I think it's funny, Okay, I just think it's exciting.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I don't know if I said very.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You said exciting, Tim and then very excited. How did
you pitch it, Bellia?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I said, Mark, is a funny story to tell you.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Okay, all right, which I think that's a fair way
to character.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Okay, all right, we'll get to it, but first we
have some serious news. We've got flash flooding. I had
the warning on my TV. I have Spectrum and it
comes on Spectrum and says, you know, you have flash
flooding LA County. It's not near me. But I like
the fact that I know that people are you know,
are running for their lives, are being warned. I see,
(01:08):
you know, because most people I think that get wiped
out by floods are probably watching TV. It's a great
way to get a hold of people who are about
to hit get hit by floods because they're home.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
If I think people that are are you know, they're working,
They're getting out there. You can see the clouds, you
can see things developing, you can talk to other people.
It's people home alone get wiped out.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh that's a good point. You know.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
If you've got a social circle, you got work, you
got a church, you go to. People talk like, hey,
you know, two weeks ago we had this flood. Oh,
get to look for those clouds.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You know, somebody calls you and goes, hey, you know
there's a flood. Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
You got friends for your social network, You got texting
a group of friends like, hey, we're getting hit in
Apple Valley. It's coming towards Victorville. You know, beware. Okay,
all right, but it's the guy with the cheetos at home,
you know, watching daytime TV that gets wiped out. Yea,
his own world.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I'm just curious you had the TV on. I'm guessing
you weren't just sitting there watching it. It's probably on
in the back. It was on in the background, you're right, yeah,
so what do you have on in the background? Fox News?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It's always well, okay, here, I'll go through my TV viewing.
I don't really start till late. I like to start late.
What is late one o'clock, okay. I don't like to
get any news until one. I read online and stuff.
But sure, one o'clocker with Glenn Walker and Channel five
of course. Yeah, then I go obviously I want to
see what the five is doing on Fox at two o'clock. Yeah,
(02:32):
that's right. Well it's five o'clock in the east.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, okay, so.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Look at that, and then that's it. I got to
get ready and go to work.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
For sure.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
That's fine.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's the one o'clocker with Glenn Walker and then and
then it's the five. Okay. And so it was during
the five that you saw in the warning.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You know, I don't know, that's interesting. I don't I
don't remember if it was right between you know, it's
right around two o'clock.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's on the background. To be fair to you, like
I get that you may not keep track react right
came so we've got the warnings going on the flash flooding.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Right, and you are an ex weathermans, you can tell
us more than I can. How do those develop over
the desert that's so dry and yet they produce these
rain clouds that have so much water mark, Well.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
They have enough in the air mass in the way
of water that you can with rapid vertical development, which
is what you get with that kind of heat. You
remember heat of rises, right, Warm air rises, Warm air,
you know, super warm air in the desert rises very quickly.
So when you have that warm air, you know, hot air,
(03:37):
you might call it rising quickly, it takes what little
moisture there is and creates thunderstorms and you get Usually
you need some entrainment of tropical moisture to get really
big ones like there's oftentimes there's some flow from the south.
I haven't looked at any maps. I don't know what
is going on, but typically in August we get that
(03:57):
we get a southwesterly flow or southerly flow out of
Mexico and there's enough tropical moisture I mean, doesn't need
to take much in trained in that flow that when
you get that lifting in that heat, that produces the
intense thunderstorms. Of course, the mountains are the other place
that really create that lift, right, the air has to
get over the mountains, and that lift is already beginning.
(04:19):
So between the lift and the heat and that little
bit of moisture you have thunderstorms.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I had a different theory that it was a lot
of those clouds developed over the anger of the cracker
barrel logo chain.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, there is. This is nature's kickback on
cracker barrel.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
That's right. Well, look what was it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Coming to ask you?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
All?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
The the protest was over the fact that the old
guy he used to be next to this barrel.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
That's right, he was the cracker in the barrel?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I see now? Is he the cracker like that we
talk about? You know, West people are crackers, right yeah? Oh,
I see again, and they like that.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I didn't realize that crackers like to be represented every
once in a while. You don't really get an opportunity
to get out there as a cracker. Wow, as a
confirmed cracker man.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You know, yeah, I think that really would pretty much
do the confirmation party for you.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And so that's where crackers like to go. Yeah, to
the cracker barrel?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Sure do you stop at the cracker barrel on the
way to Vegas? It's a good one. I don't, but
I there's a real good one, tim.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Is that right? If you stopped there?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Really? Yeah? I love it there. Yeah, I feel like.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I'm on the road. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going.
I don't stop for a five course meal.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
No, it's not a five course stopped for I think
we either stopped for recharging it the tesla reach.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Og Oh see, I got I got gas, So I'm
two minutes I'm gone. Oh I see, Yeah, you got
an hour and a half to.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Get it's much more like forty minutes.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
But have a year away forty minutes? Doesn't that get irritating?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Well? You stop for to go to the bathroom? How
long does that take?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Okay? Five minutes and fill up?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Seven minutes?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
All right? So I have thirty three minutes more than
you do.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
We do.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I go into crack up out and I find a
license plate that says Conway, and I go, hey, I
found a license plate.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Decision, But isn't it thirty three minutes. Isn't that a
long time on a road trip to be a sidelined
you like, like when you're driving cross country, driving up
to Oregon or wherever you're going, don't you try to,
you know, pick stop? Don't you try to? You know, like, okay,
we're going to stop. You get out of the guard,
you go, get gass, you go, get the sodas, you
get the chips, you gotta go take the go, go go.
Let's get back to.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
The car and go. So, of course, you're right, that's
one kind of road trip that there's also maybe it's
just the fact that you know there's a zen to
building in a forty five minute stop, but you kind
of go, this is great. We get to stop down,
we get to stretch our legs, we get to get
something to eat, we get to go to the bathroom,
and then we're back and forty five You know it's
you don't have to eat in the car, you can
(06:48):
eat wherever. They kind of but you're right, there's a
maybe that's our rationale.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It doesn't always depends. Also if there's someone with you, yes,
it absolutely does. Yeah, one hundred percent. I remember when
we were driving an organ I was gonna pump the gas.
My wife was gonna you know, She's like me, we
gotta get in and out and go. And I said,
she goes want anything to drink?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I said, yeah, give me a large coke mostly ice,
you know, because I like to have ice for the road.
You know, it gets hot in there and you can
pour another drink or coke whatever. So she comes out,
she gives me the drink. It's filled with ice and
there's about an inch of coke on the bottom. So
that's not what mostly ice means. Mostly ice is full
(07:31):
coke with lots of ice.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah. I guess you're right. A new thing, you know,
But it sounds like you've got some quality control issues
on your road trips. Yeah, a little bit. But it's
my lovely wife's birthday today. How about that's really cool?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, so that's a cool deal.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's so what are you doing for a birthday?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
We're going out tomorrow night to a very fancy restaurant.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, what's the name of it? At the cracker Barrel?
Going out the cracker Barrel. She likes cracker. He whole
family's uh, you know, cracker barrel, crackers, well, cracker barrel fans.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I see, I get it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I get I get notes if I call them crackers
on the air well.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I as I say, I stopped there, I think it's
a I didn't even realize what.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Did you have there? Because I can't imagine they're waiting
for electric car vegans.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Well, it's funny to say this because they have set
for you. They have a veggie burger, Is that right? Yeah?
Yeah they do.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Do you go back and make sure it's not cooked
near the meat burgers?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I don't do that, Tim, But I know you're mocking
me right now. But it's nice that the crackers at
least have some they've extended a warm hand, which you
might want to think about, Tim, when you ordered the
vegan community.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
When you ordered the vegan burger, did they have to
make a couple of calls on how to actually perform
the preparation?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
And oh my god, we haven't sold one of these days?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
What do we back behind those boxes? Where are they know?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
They're patties? Are somebody kind of look like meatful? We
can't find them?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Is this meatless?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Fine? I'll get a whirl. Shouldn't have been refrigerated? Now
there's no meat. Didn't you have to refrigerate? Know, he's
never noticed the difference is your girlfriend also vegan?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Wow too. You go into cracker barrel, that's great.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I'll tell you what does that recall? I had some
soup or something. When you walk in, you know, open arms, man,
open Armswhere eating at a cracker barrel?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You've never it.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I walked inside where the front part is. It's just
so overwhelmed me, like, I gotta leave the front.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So the front part that the grocer's talking about it
is all. It's all this chatch key stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Right, It's like a hoarder's paradise exactly. Yeah, they should
have named it Acord hoarders barrel. But it's all it's
all the crap you wouldn't pick up at a at
a yard sale. On the walls, it's all right there.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
That's a great description of it.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It is. That's what's on the walls. You know, crap
they couldn't get rid of in a yard sale.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I love that stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Think that was in the building when they decided to
make it a cracker barrel.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It's got that cat with the eyes going back and forth.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I love those Yeah, I love that stuff, I really do.
I love this stuff where it's just a solar thing
where the minute the sun comes out or the lights
on it, all sudden starts dancing.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I love those the dancing cactus.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah. Yeah. I was in New York and I went
to one of those places and there are all these
Empire State buildings. They have every kind of Empire stabilding,
copper Upire State buildings. They have these authentic Empire State buildings,
big ones, small ones. I said, hey, do you have
any where the sun hits the thing and it kind
of wiggles a little bit. That's what I'm looking for.
He said, no, we do not.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We did not have that. There's no way. He had
to point it to you when you asked him about
the Empire State Building. Was the Empire State Building? Yes,
there's no way. He said, do you have a shaking
Empire State Building? There's no way. He went vegan. That
doesn't seem veganish at all. All right, I want to
come back. We got some breaking news, I believe coming
(10:59):
out of Compton. There were there were three people shot.
Let me try, let me try to get this in
real quick here. And then Mark's got a story in Quebec.
This is developing here though in South LA. In South
Los Angeles, there has been a shooting and five people
were shot. So let me try to squeeze that in
(11:19):
here for people listening. Hey, Sammy, can you turn the
computer on?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
That shooting apparently happening at this market on the corner
of FIGAROA and eighty fifth Street. You could see some
yellow tape down there, lots of debris and some evidence markers.
As well as that investigation gets underway. We are learning
from the fire department that there have been five victims
that were struck by gunfire. One person self transported, one
(11:46):
person is in critical two and serious, and one person
with minor injuries. So a total count of five gun
shot wound victims here in South LA and a major
investigation underway. There is also police activity the surrounding areas here.
Not sure if they are still looking for a suspect
or what those details are all about just yet, but
of course we will continue to stay on top of
(12:07):
this developing story reporting live Mare seven up. Chris CHRISTI
ABC seven. I would just do and.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Then you got in Pee RIVERA thirteen year old kid
was shot and dead shot and killed waiting for his
mom to get off work. And then another guy was
killed at a Pico Rivera gas station as well a
week ago. It's it's the summer of anger, man, It
is that?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
What that is?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, this is the summer of anger. There is a
lot fifteen year old kid, what is that about? A
lot of people out there are really angry? And I
don't know, well, I guess I know what it is.
They're hot and they're broke. You know, people are hot
and broke. They can afford they can afford guns and bullets. Yeah,
but the people are angry as hell out there.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
That's sad.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
But we'll try to watch calm that down for the
next two hours, and now.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
You can chill the community out, I think.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, we'll try with your very hilarious story.
I relyve on caf KFI. It's Conway shown. What is that?
Oh yeah yeah in Tarzana? Yeah yeah, I did I
witness that. Yeah, yeah, that's a wild all right, Mark.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Tim Tim broke up a home depot. I saw I
saw people stealing Oh that's right, remember this, you told
the story. They still were stealing drills. It saws Is
that recalled.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah it was, God came it was. It was two
jig saws, two drills, and a leaf blower. And it
happened in the Burbank home depot and I was there,
and they grabbed all this stuff as a man and
a woman, which is unusual. You know, it's very difficult
to get your wife involved in that.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
You know, they're like a family operation.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You did it, but the wife is usually the the
better half in the sane one that says, you know,
why don't we just save up and maybe we'll buy one.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, we all drive the getaway car. I don't actually, you.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Know, but she was hot. She was stealing too, So
they were stealing Crozier.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Robi or Roby? What's that Roby? Okay, so they're stealing,
and I think Roby is the home depot. I think
home depot owns Roby. I don't see Roby anywhere else
other than home depot. And so they're stealing Roby. Two
Roby drills to Roby Sanders and a Roby leaflow Riobi.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, no, they home depot does not own them.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
They don't know. I've never seen anywhere other than home depot.
And so as they're leaving. You know, I'm walking in
and I see the commotion and they walk by me. Know,
he go, hey, you're stealing the cheap crap. You know,
you got to go in there and get the Milwaukee stuff.
You know, you gotta get the the stuff that you
can move for some money. This is both you know,
if you're gonna steal, you might as well steal. It's
(14:44):
the same weight, you know, and you get Yeah, I
might as well take the good stuff. I mean, these
these idiots have never been a had a tool in
their hand.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Home Depot does not own them, but they do have
an exclusivity agreement with them. Oh, I see, that's why
you only see Reobi's in the home Depot.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, I have a Riobi mower.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I got a Reoby leaf blower and saals all. I
got a tree trimmer.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I got all.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I got all that Reobi stuff. You know, it's for
guys who are not really going into the business of construction. Sure,
you know, it's just the relaxed fellows. But I did
buy a green Works. I'm a nut for the leaf blower.
I love leaf blowers, and I'm looking for the most
powerful one. I did a lot of research during the break.
I finally ordered a GreenWorks sixty volt leaf blower, and man,
(15:32):
there's some kick to it. It's like a turning a
jet engine on Crozier. You'd love this thing. I got
to bring it in and show it to you.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
GreenWorks consistently does a pretty good job of impressing me
more and more.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
It was a two hundred and seventy dollars leaf blower,
but I got it at Walmart, you know, because up
in Oregon when summer ends, they get rid of all
their crap. It's not like here in La where they
just hold it on the shelf all year long. And
so I got it for seventy bucks. And it's unbelieve
I got. I'll bring it into Marrow and I'll show
it to you.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I wish everybody who has a combustion engine leaf flower
would get what you just described. I mean, it is
obnoxious smell. I'll give you that smell of gas and noise. Yeah,
and the noise is just brutal. Man.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
But I will say the one problem with the with
the leaf flower is it is so powerful that the
battery it says it can you know, it can blow
a three quarters of an acre. Not really, Oh really,
it can maybe do your driveway and then, but you
got to buy more batteries. You gotta have a couple
of backups. But Croze, what kind of leaf flower do
you have?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It's an older one. I don't really use it too much,
but I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
It's okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna bring mine in tomorrow
and you're gonna want one of these. Yeah, it's unbelievable, unreal.
All right, So we only have about a minute. But
I know you you had something happened to you that Sorry, ready,
but you are the one to wait for the segment.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I mean, I don't know. I just feel like a
lot of anxiety and pressure now and not only make
the story good, but also to you know, cram it
into a minute. I know if I can do that.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Do you remember what was it? Who is the guy
that created Amazing Stories? Remember that? I think it was
the guy that did Spielberg Spielberg Stielberg. Yeah, he did
a TV series called Amazing Stories. Well, if that's the
title of it, that's a high bar, you know, And
if every story has to be amazing.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I think after the second one people were going, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I mean, you know, Chips was one of my favorite
shows growing up, and I knew they were in trouble
because the second episode of Chips, there's an A story
to a B story. The A story was somebody was
shooting people on the freeway. The B story somebody was
stealing the plants off the shoulders of the freeway. I'm like, well,
this this is wow. This is two episode episodes. Yeah,
(17:51):
that's someone's stealing the trees off the shoulder of the
two eight of the one ten or one eighteen freeway. Man,
this is gonna be short, all right. So when you
come back, well, here the equivalent of your of Spielberg's
amazing story. You're amazing.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I have quick chips fifteen seconds or less. Note when
they're calling in La Mary whatever, you've seen them, put
the microphone in front of there. He's looking down. First
of all, they loop all of that, and then if
you if see his lips moving he's looking down. It's
all written. Yeah, it's all little pieces of the script
are written on the bike, and it is hilarious.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, he couldn't memorize that.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Memorize the La Mary. If I said, and we're gonna
couldn't just write it, just.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Put it down there. Okay, I'll give him this that
when I did, when I was working with Paul Anderson
on Liquor's Pizza, he gave me a little tiny part.
He threw me a bone, you know, because he knows my, my, my,
you know, true love is the silver screen. And he
gave me, throw me, threw me a bone, and gave
me this little tiny part. And there's three lines. He
(18:54):
gave me the script in February, and we're gonna shoot
in June. And I showed up on the set in June.
He goes, you're ready to go. I'm like, yeah, do
you find me? Was going to run lines for you
guys don't use Q cards and he goes, Jesus Christ.
(19:14):
It was four months and three lines.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I was working on some other projects. I think, change
to lig at this.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I said, look, that's not That's one of the reasons
I'm not in this game. I can't memorize.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Sorry, a little busy.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I'm the paunch of the of the of the of
the Paul Anderson movies. All right, wake come back, I
Mark's got a story for us. We're live on KFI.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Six forty. It is The Conway Show. There was a
very successful space launch, SpaceX launch, I should say NASA
their tenth try at that big huge rocket and that
just went off and Channel two, five, seven, nine eleven
didn't cover it, but Channel four covered it live. You
got to give him a props for that.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
You know Colleen Williams over there at a girl a
little kudos over there? Run that live. I like to
look at that.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Do you think she had something to do with that?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
No? Maybe though her husband is a pilot.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
That's right, he's used to be a jet fighter pilot.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Oh, I didn't know that. I think I think he's
a commercial pilot.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Now. I may have dressed that up. Oh I don't remember.
It's been so long.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I don't know if he's retired or not. But I
think he flies for United Airlines.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Oh. I always thought he was like a okay, very
nice guy, top getting kind of guy.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I may have been.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I think I've embellished it. Maybe in my mind.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
May have been. Hey, so what happened to you? Was
it over vacation or what would you do.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I just got back from one of your favorite towns,
Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Oh I love that town.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Huge delay on the way back. And I was there
at the airport and I am told because I have
the app there, the Southwest app, and they keep revising
the time of the departure and it keeps going later
and later and letters and now listening, it's gonna be
like three and a half four hours late. And I'm there.
(21:09):
So I said, I I'm gonna pop an edible, just
kind of chill, you know, No need to get all
agitated about it. Got no place to be. So I
put on my sunglasses and tired, of course, wiped out.
I'm still wiped out from the Vegas trip. And then
it's time to go over to the gate. And go
(21:29):
over to the gate, and young lady maybe thirty ish
comes over to me and she says, uh, and I'm
just really like in my phone because I don't want
to interact with anybody because I'm because I'm buzzed right
And so she says, I'm watching you right now on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I said, oh my gosh, thank you so much. She said,
oh yeah, should I watch you all the time? I said,
oh that that's really and that was really good. And
now I'm talking to her though, and I'm feeling super
self conscious about being buzzed. And then and so I'm thinking,
this is just I don't want to be rude, but
I also don't want I can't continue this because this
is just I'm so worried about what I'm going to say.
(22:07):
And am I saying too much? I'm not saying enough.
I'm trying to go to her.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You're just enjoying the edible, I guess hun.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
So then a guy has heard me talking to her.
He goes, Mark Thompson, Wow, he said, I recognize your
voice anywhere. I said, oh my gosh, thank you so much.
And now I'm really getting now I'm super nervous, super
self conscious. And then he says, I used to listen
(22:34):
to Mark and Brian every morning for years. You're so great.
And I said, I'm Mark Thompson, but I'm not that
Mark Thompson is exactly what I said to him, And
then he says, no, really, He said, you know, I
used to drive to work and every day listen to you.
And he said, you guys are just so terrific. Are
(22:57):
you still in touch with Brian, and I said, not
the same Mark Thompson as Mark and Brian. And he goes,
because I just always you guys always just seem like
you're friends, you know what I mean, like you're such
close friends. But I always heard it. I'm thinking, I
don't know, I can't say it any other way than
I've said it, you know, So then I just kind
of nod and go yep, yep, yep, you know everything
(23:19):
else he said, He said, you know, whatever it was,
it was lunacy, and it was amplified because I'm in
this altered state. So I sort of feel like, you
don't want to get to do a big thing with
this guy over you know the fact that you're not
that Mark Thompson. Just let it go, Like I know
Conway would not. Connor would just played along like he's
Mark from Mark and Bryan. Yeah, and you would have
(23:39):
just you never would have corrected him, was what I
was thinking.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Exactly right, right, right right, But but that that, and
so what did you do? Did you end up signing autographs?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
So I get on the plane first of all, then
they don't bring they take the plane out of service,
So now we're in another hour delay for another plane
to come in, and it was a five and a
half hour delay in total. And of course the guys
I'm talking to, they were really really nice. The guy
who thought I was Mark Thompson from Mark and Brian,
(24:09):
and he was super nice. He ended up in the
seats right behind me, so like I felt, gosh, I
really like this guy. Would love to stay in touch
with them. But he thinks I'm someone totally different than
I am, and it's too late for me to correct him.
So it was just a wave at the airport farewell
and that was the end of it.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
My dad was a similar thing happened to him. We
were up in Big Bear in the safeway up there
in Big Bear, and a guy comes up to my
dad and goes, hey, i'd love you on the television.
And I just said, oh, right down, thank you very much.
I appreciate that. And he said and he said, man,
he goes, I love the first show you did, and
(24:49):
my wife loved the second show that you did. The
first sitcom was was great, but the second one she
really enjoyed. And he said, my dance saying, you know what,
the two sitcoms that I had that were really successful,
that this guy liked and I have a guest. Yeah,
and he says he says which one. He goes the
(25:11):
first one, the Bob Newhart Show was great, and then
the second one my wife really liked. He goes, oh,
I go, oh, thank you very much. He goes, can
I autograph because it sure and he'd signed Bob Newhart.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
So somewhere out there there's a guy who has a
Bob Newhart autograph that was signed by my den.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Oh, I love that. And I told you. When I
arrived in Washington, d C. To go visit my mom,
I was ambushed by those Remember there's more than one guy.
It was three guys saying Aaron Sorkin. And I said, no, no, no, no, no,
I'm not Aaron Sorkin. He said, come on, man, he
said look, he said, we come all this way and
waited for you. Will you just sign this? And I said, dude,
(25:49):
I'm not Aaron Sorkin and he said, no, no, no, seriously, man,
and then he points me down to what he's holding.
He's holding a West Wing script. Okay, but it's it's
pasted to like a what do you call it? Poster board?
So they're too, he said, just signed the cover. I said, dude,
I'm not Aaron Sorkin. I mean, this doesn't make any sense.
(26:11):
And then the other two guys goes, I don't know
why he's being this way, blah blah blah, this is crazy.
And then they staked out the luggage area and then
on the way out when I got the luggage here,
come on, let's come on, man, I'm begging you please.
They just never could get the message that Aaron Sorkin was.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Did you sign it?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
This is again if I wish i'd been your dad,
I would have loved Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
That's what you gotta do, you know, just go with it, Yeah, exactly, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Your dad had the right idea. Just get it over early, man,
I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
We are live on k IF. I am six forty.
Were covering the flash flooding out in the Arizona out
in the upper desert, I should say, And that could
be pretty radical there are out there. You know, the
Emergency Weather's Service is forecasting extreme flash flooding possibility, so
you got to be aware if you're in the high
desert or low desert anywhere out there. And that could
(27:03):
be pretty radical out there covering that also a shooting
in South Los Angeles, five people shot. We're covering those
stories and more right here on AM six forty. It's
Conway Thompson. Oh sorry, I'm really sorry. Was talking to
Mark Thompson. Mark Thompson's here's Conways Show. Welcome back to everybody.
Let me tell you a quick story here, because these
(27:24):
kind of guys need a huge shoutouts. I was driving
from Portland to Los Angeles. I left Saturday and stayed
in Rolling Hills satday night, and I continued on Sunday
and I got home Sunday afternoon like around four o'clock.
Easy drive. Compared to the old days. Then we talked
about these yesterday. But the old days you only had
(27:46):
the AM stations that were in the area that you'd
listened to, and you'd be lucky if you could catch
a football game or a baseball game or a sports
talk or whatever. And then a lot of Sunday is
a lot of religious stations. And I don't mind that.
You know, you pop it on and you know feel,
you know, you get an idea of the local community
what's going on. So but now with with iHeart, you know,
(28:06):
app YouTube, with you know, Spotify, all this stuff. You
can literally listen to anything you want in the world, anything,
And so I listen to a Corolla's podcast, a couple
of those listening to Petro Some Money, a couple of
episodes of their show, and the drive goes by like that,
you know, when you're listening to something you like, all
(28:27):
of a sudden, you're like, Holy Christ, I did three
hundred miles. It seems like I did ten, but which
is great. So I whenever I leave and I've got
a drive, and I knew there was a heat wave
coming because everybody talks about it. So I knew that
the desert was going to be one hundred and fourteen degrees.
And once I leave Ashland, Oregon, it's all desert. A
(28:47):
little bit a little bit of relief in Mount Shasta,
it's all desert until you get to Magic Mountain. You know,
it's it's eight hundred miles of desert. So I wanted
to make sure I was drive my wife's car back.
I want to make sure that the oil, the cooling,
everything was fine. So I call a guy up at
this fast Lube and Oil in Saint Helen's, Oregon, and
(29:09):
I said, hey, can I come in for a lube.
Not a lube, I'm an oil change. And also can
you look at the coolant and maybe flush it out
and refill the cool He goes, yeah, yeah, it was
gonna be one hundred and thirty or no, ninety nine
dollars for the coolant, and then the oil change was
gonna be out one hundred and thirty five or whatever.
It's gonna be a couple hundred bucks, maybe two fifty
out the door. So I bring the car in. I'm
(29:31):
the only guy. There is three guys working that day.
It was a Thursday of last week. And the guy
opens up the hood and he looks at the coolant.
He undoes it carefully so it doesn't explode in his face.
And he looks at it and he says that. He goes,
that coolan's some really good shape. You don't need to coolant.
It's about a half inch low. I'll just fill it
(29:52):
with coolant. You'll be good to go on that. And
I said what about the oil, And he opens up
brings stakes out the oil stick, and he said, this
is really clean oil, and it's and it's actually right
exactly where it should be for this kind of car.
And and he said, I'd just be ripping you off
if I gave you an oil change. This car doesn't
need an oil change for another five, maybe seven thousand miles.
(30:14):
And I said, oh, I said okay, And he said
he shuts the hood and he says, have a nice day.
And and that's extraordinary. I couldn't believe that. Yeah, you know,
in today's day and age, where everybody's trying to pinch
you this fast lube and oil, they made a customer
for life. And I'm gonna tell that story to a
thousand people. But that's the way, you know, you get
(30:36):
outside of LA and you get treated like that.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I remember driving a cross country with my brother Jake,
and we're going from LA to Toronto. I was working
in Toronto and they gave me a rented car and
I was going to drive a nice, beautiful Mustang across
country with my brother. It's one of the high highlights
of my life. One of the beautiful trips of mine.
Went through Yellowstone and the whole thing. So we're we're
in in South Dakota and my my brother is complaining
(31:01):
for two or three days about a toothache. He had
a toothache and my brother never complains about anything. Man,
this guy is an assault of the earth, never in
tough as nails. But he's complaining. So we got to
Sioux City, Iowa. No, it wasn't. He was South Dakota,
I was. It was somewhere in South Dakota, small little town.
And I opened up the Yellow Pages and I just
(31:21):
started calling Dennis and I find an emergency dental service.
And I called the number and the lady says, emergency dental.
You know South Dakota and Vermilion, I think it was.
And I he said, let me put you through to
the doctor. And she picks up. It's a woman who's
a dentist. She picks up. She can I help you?
(31:42):
It Saturday morning, eight o'clock in the morning. I said, yeah,
we're traveling cross country. My brother is a toothache. And
she said, I'll meet you at the office in ten minutes.
I lived nearby. I'll get one of my assistants when
we meet to the office ten minutes. We're there in
five because I was very close to it. And she
showed up five minutes later. She was there about ten
minutes and she opens the door, go and she turns
the lights on, the air conditioning on, and how can
(32:02):
I help you. My brother's got a horrible toothache. And
she said, okay, she gets X rays, she examines him,
she does the whole run, and she said, I'll be
able to pull it. And she said, you have insurance.
And my brother said no, doesn't have dental insurance. And
she said, okay, then we'll just charge you cash. She
pulled a tooth filled to others, gave him a teeth
(32:23):
cleaning sixty nine dollars. That's crazy, sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Well, when when was this?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
It was nineteen ninety four, five, ninety ninety five, nineteen
ninety five. That's but you know what, once you leave
La New York, Chicago, Miami, you know these big cities,
you run into people who treat you the way you
should be treated.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Maybe that's extraordinary, though, I mean, that's an extrame. I bet,
I bet regardless of the community.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I'll bet you listeners who are listening to kfive right now,
if you're from smaller communities than Indiana, you know, in
the south, the East, maybe the northwest, and you were
born and raised in one of these small little communities,
or you've had some experience in one of these small towns,
you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. There are people
who just treat you honestly. And I can't tell you
(33:16):
the fast Loube and Oil up there in Saint Helens.
I don't know if it's a chain or not. I
think it is, but this, this company is going to
be around forever. When you treat people like that, I'll
always go to a place like that where I know
I'm treated with that sure, of course, of course, it's
unbelievable and I celebrate though. You know people out there
who are you know, not ripping you off? Isn't that crazy?
(33:37):
Where we are now?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Its business people and it's not. And they're just as
you said, They're just individuals helping other individuals, right, And.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
They live in the community. They live in that little
small little town in Saint Helens, and they know if
they rip somebody off, did they go to school with
the guy or at the guy's dad or the guy's brother,
the guy's cousin, and where gets out and then they
close down in six buttons?
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Well, I think they also it sounds to me like
the people were talking about don't have the instinct to
rip anybody off. Anything that's right. They don't even have
to do the arithmetic on what it's going to mean
if they do blah blah. You know, they just don't.
They don't do that. They don't have that move.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
And they seem all three guys seem to be happy
that they were working. Sure, you know, they're all like,
you know, young, they got that young energy, and they're like, buddy,
look this car is in great shape. Have a great
trip across across country. Wow, it was great man, good times.
