burned in your garage and you paid for a new face,
you would tell people you are the new face of
comed That's right. I have the new face of common
that's right. And I was two faced as well, that's right.
Richard Pryor was he around when you started?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, very much.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
So.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I like Richard, great comic, really the most naturally funny guy.
I mean, he would just slay the room just to
kill me, just you know.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, he was.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
He was just the best, just the best, truly funny,
great facial expressions too.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
And it's funny because you know, a lot of young
comics don't really know his work because he just did
Live at the Sunset Trip. He was like the first
comics to shoot a stand up special that aired in theaters,
you know, and so that was a big deal. The
HBO thing was sort of new at the time, so
he hadn't done this, so there's not a lot of
his work out there, but just hilarious. That's like, you
(01:14):
can't repeat most of it, but it's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I always thought that Jeff Altman was great. Whatever happened
to him.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Jeff I had a long time. Jeff's a very funny guy.
I know he moved back east, he got married. Yeah,
he was like, you know, all comics are screwed up
in some way, and Jeff certainly takes the title. I
don't mean that insulting way. I just mean because that's
what made him funny. You just that odd, bouncing off
the wall, you know, just very hyper.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
You know, was Norm MacDonald out here or did he
start back east? Was he East Coast comic? Well, he's
from Canada, Oka. Norm was, you know, really funny. Nobody
made me laugh like Norm. I remember he used to
bring his mom to see me because I work clean,
because his mom didn't like to go to the comedy clubs.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Every very dirty. So I had a good relationship with him.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
So he takes his mom Tova and he loved to gamble, right,
so they're standing line to check in at the hotel,
and it's like maybe twenty people in front of him.
So Norman says, I'm going to go over to the
tables for a few minutes a mole okay, because the
other table loses all his money. He can't even check
in the hotel. Now he lost everything, everything out of
(02:25):
his credit card he lost.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
He comes back to his mic.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
We can't say my kind of guy.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, there you go, my kind of guy.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Well, here's a gambling joke. Guys walking down the strip
in Vegas. He's right at the end of the strip,
you know where they have that sign welcome LENSI. He
sees the guy coming from the desert. You know what's
that The guy crosses the street. So he crosses the
street and then guy's coming to him. He crossed and
the other guy guy crossing, So it's inevitable he's gonna
(02:56):
bump to this guy. And the guy sees him trying
to alloid him. Goes look Sarah, so please don't avoid me.
I'm a very successful business memory come from. This suit
costs thousands of dollars. It's very expensive. I just had
to run a bed. Like my car broke down on
the outside of town, or were sitting in the car.
I'm walking in here. I'm a successful business memory I
come from. I'm embarrassed and I'm ashamed of myself.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Can you lend me a hundred dollars?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
The guy says, well, if I lend you a hundred dollars,
I don't know you won't use it for gambling money.
I reduced pot, takes a bottle, water bills.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Oh, I got gambling money. No, I got gambling money.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I'm okay and somewhat true. Right, yeah, guys, will you know,
wait until the end like we used to. I remember
I was at Mandalay Bay and I was gambling, probably
spending twenty five dollars a hand in blackjack like an idiot.
And my wife always said, if we're going to drink,
you gotta eat, and so she always made sure we

had something to eat before we got you know, we
went to bed. So she goes, let's go to the
coffee shoveling a christ all right, So we go to
the coffee shop. She gets I don't know, burger or
tacos or something. And then she asked the waiter, can
I get a side of sour cream? And I said
to the waiter. I said, hey, how much is the
side of sour cream? And he said it's fifty cents.
(04:17):
I said, okay, well let's go ahead and get that
done with the hell. And then the waiter leaves and
my wife said, at what point were you not going to.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Okay the side of sour cream.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You're spending twenty five or fifty dollars a hand on
blackjack and I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Get a dollar of sour cream because of you.
Speaker 4 (04:34):

Oh I like this, Well, I mentioned because you talk
about a woman who's corbroke.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Guy Saturday goes out to play golf and he's running
a little bit late on his way home and sees
a woman with a flat tire. Frantic oh waving, Okay,
Well I got a flat. I just looked a mild

They pull in the driveway. He goes, there go, you're
all sad. She goes, can I offer you a drink? Well,
I got my wife's waiting. I got just one drinker.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
All right.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
It's the guy that has a drink, has another drink.
They start talking. Next you know, they wind up in bed.
They're having sex. Okay, now it's an eleven o'clock at night.
The guy's driving home, going, what a jerk, What an idiot?
I ruined my marriage. You know, I'm not gonna be
a hypocrite. When I get in, I'm just gonna tell

(06:16):
a damn lie. You're playing another round with golf. It's
a stupid show.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
That's fantastic. Can you stay? You've gotta go, No, I
gotta go now.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You know what I also read recently, maybe maybe I
heard this from you. The Cadillac is the only company,
I think worldwide that lowered its demo.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Not the only, but one of the first, one of
the first rolls froths manager to do it too. But
Cadillac went from being the old man's car, right like
we were kids, your dad's Cadillac, you know. Now kids
know Cadillac for the CTSV and the six speed manuor transmission,
and they're very fast, high performance cars. You know, they
do narberg Ring and all those kind of things.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
So, and that gets the demo down. You've got a
lot of young people going because you can get a
Cadillac with a stick shift.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You can't even get Oh that's great.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You can't get a carvet.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Anymore with a stick is that right?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
You can't do that, but the Cadillac again, so it
makes it pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Are they more expensive to get to buy a stick
shift because they got to make them?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
No, they're about the same. It's about the same. It's
fifty fifty.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Let me ask you a dumb question about about a car.
If if you have a stick shift, do you also
have a transmission.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Well, yeah, all the stick shift does is shift the transmission.
An automatic shifts the transmission automatically. A stick shift, you're
moving the lever by hand.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
So the so the the transmission in an automatic is
more complicated than a stick shift.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, yeah, that's yea.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Let's say I'm gonna telling you I'm a natural.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah you are a natural? Yes, a natural?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
What?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
But yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
All right.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Conway Jay Lano has been with us.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
If you miss any part of it, go back and
listen to the podcast.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on de Mayo KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The coldest city in the nation today. It was, well,
the coldest place. I should say. It's about one hundred
and eighty four miles east southeast, almost directly east of.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Is it east? Yeah, it's almost.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Directly east of Nashville, Tennessee, in the Smoky Mountains elevation
about twelve hundred feet. It's a place you might have
heard of, but you don't know anybody who lives there. Gatlinburg.
Isn't there a band called Gatlinburg or song or ga
gatlin Brothers? Okay, this is Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and it was
the coldest place in the nation. Quick, whip around without
(08:46):
the music, belly. What temperatory you think it was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee?
Nine nine degrees in Tennessee?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Krozer fifteen fifteen Angel eighty two, eighty two. Do you
want to do it again? You're going to go the
eighty two, twenty eight, twenty eight?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
All right? Better?
Speaker 6 (09:13):
All right?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And Sammy, what's the temperature in Gatlinburg, Tennessee? I'll go
with one one, Okay, Sammy got closes three degrees, three
degrees in Tennessee. Three degrees in Tennessee. That is unbelievable. Now,
grant it's in the Smoky Mountains, but those aren't. That's
(09:35):
not a high mountain range. That's not a full, you know,
radical elevation. I think it's a The elevation is almost
thirteen hundred feet. That's nothing. The San Fernando Valley, I
think is six or seven hundred feet. So that's incredible.
And we've had a list of people, I mean, list
of cities that are experiencing a brand new low. Jacksonville, Florida.
(09:59):
The low tmperature today, well, yeah, last night was twenty
eight degrees. The previous low is thirty five. That's seven
degrees colder than the lowest temperature in the history of today,
seven degrees colder. Savannah, Georgia, twenty eight degrees, the previous
(10:20):
low thirty one, Mobile, Alabama, twenty eight degrees. Orlando, Florida,
thirty six degrees in Orlando, Florida, the previous low thirty nine. Pensacola, Florida,
thirty one degrees. Fort Myers forty two, Key West, way
(10:41):
down in the ocean, Key West fifty seven degrees way
out in the ocean. Gulfport, Mississippi, twenty seven degrees, Montgomery, Alabama,
twenty six. Macon, Georgia, twenty nine and Tampa Tampa Bay,
Florida thirty eight degrees thirty eight degrees. So look, I
(11:05):
know the global warmers don't like this, but it'll get warmer.
Don't worry. We'll get it warmer. We'll you know, we're
getting there. We're still in an ice age, and so
once we another couple hundred years will come out of
this ice age and then we'll all be okay. But
until then it's going to be freezing. And if you
(11:27):
don't believe me, we're in ice age. I know a
lot of people think I'm lying or just joking. Why
don't you go to Google and type in why do
we all do this together?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
All right? Go to Google?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Can you go to Google and type in are we
in an ice age? Are we in an ice age?
Hold on? Okay, just type in Google are we in
an ice age? It will say yes, technically we are
in a long term ice age, but it's the warmer
(11:57):
phase of the ice age.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yep, we are in an ice age.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Ice ages have cycles, that's right, human activity versus natural cycles,
and this current one we're in began two point six
million years ago, and the last time Earth was in
a cooler glacial period was about twelve thousand years ago,
so we are right in the middle, right the end
(12:23):
of this ice age. So technically global warming is coming.
Global warming is on its way. Yeah, I mean not
climate change, but global warming is.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah. But you know, but people like it warm.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Anyway, especially old people. You know, that's why they go
to Arizona. That's why they leave Minnesota because it's so
effing cold.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Good Grandma banky baby.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It's hard on arthritis.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, it's also you know, you've ever had an old
person in your car, the first thing they do is
they shut those fans off, so you know it's not
blowing off.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Oh no, I do that, so you.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Really yes, Oh my wife does that too. The one
fight that my wife and I've had ever since the
day we met is the temperature of the car, and
we have it every time we get in the car.
Even with that split, you know, dual climate where she
can have her side warm and not mind can be cold. Yeah,
(13:18):
she constantly is fissioning and saying, oh, I'm freezing, I'm freezing,
I'm freezing.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
You have the seat warmers because that helps she.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Can do I got those, I got gloves, I got
hag I got it hat. I like to keep it
as cold as I can in the fifties. And because
I can't keep the house at fifty because people, you know,
they'll shoot me. But I can keep my car at fifty.
It's always on full blast, full blast cold. And when
she gets in, she's freezing all the time, freezing, always freezing.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Raising.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I'm raising, which is good, you know. I mean that's
it does say you're getting old though, I mean not her,
but most people when you get when you get old,
you don't like the cold temperatures. That's why people move
to Florida, to Texas, to Arizona and California. That's why
this property that we all have here in southern California
is so expensive because it's warm. People like warm weather,
(14:12):
especially older folks. They can't stay. You're going to an
old folks home. It's always ninety eight degrees and it
smells like a big vitamin fart.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
That's all they do.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
They all take vitamins and they fart and it smells
like a big ninety five degree vitamin fart in there.
My grandmother Man, when we used to visit her in
her retirement home or nursing home, it was like one
hundred and three in her room, and it just smelled
like ass. It's just I couldn't wait to get the
hell out of there. Might open, oh my god, oh
(14:45):
vitamin farts everywhere.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You just went back there for a second, worst, absolute worst.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
You could literally spend about a minute in there talking
to her, and then you got to just bail.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You gotta get the hell out of there.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Let me preface this with I am probably on this
show the biggest costco fam by far. Nobody comes close Crozier,
don't even look at me by a unit close. I
go there all the time. I go twice a week.
Sometimes I go just to get the ice cream. Sometimes
I go just to look around see what the new
products are. Is it like walking distance for you? About
(15:25):
a mile?
Speaker 6 (15:26):
All right?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Maybe a mile and a half, all right? And I
love it. I love everything about it. I feel like
I'm somebody special going in because I have a membership card.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
It's like a p you mean like everybody else?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
What you mean other people?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Well, there are different levels of membership.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
So what do you have? What do we have?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Was that Jennifer shoes popped in.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
The business one or whatever, the one where you get
some you spend it up and you get money back
the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
That's you know what that executive? Oh oh the black card. Yes,
you guess what, buddy, Now I'm in.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Are you getting? You getting your your money back at
the end of like every year?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
But you know what sucks is that always comes on
the day you got to pay for your new membership.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Yes, it always comes to the day you're gona pay.
But you can't use it for that, can you. In fact,
I think you can only use it at it's a
credit essentially for Costco.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh I see, okay, yeah, but I like getting that check.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh yeah, it is nice. Yeah, and it really is cool.
I mean, I know it paid for it, but I
like getting it. But I'm a big it pays for itself.
How far are you from your nearest Costco U two miles?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Three miles? Oh you're in? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Oh yeah, I was gonna ask you, because you know,
you go two or three times a week easily. The
thing that keeps us from going probably more one money
to the crowd. You got to figure out what time
is the best time, like right as soon as they open,
or later on when it's emptied out a little bit,
and it just but you know what, I don't even
I don't even.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Hate the crowds. I like having a lot of people,
a lot of commotion in there. But I will say
that a lot of people don't understand that when you
go into Costco, there's an unwritten rule that there's a loop.
You know, you go back towards the meat, then you
turn left, you come back towards the register, and some
people are still swimming against the stream. You know, they're
coming towards you, and you're like, no, no, no, no, sweetheart,
(17:20):
you got to turn that cart around or you got
to dive through clothes to get to the other side.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Once it a blue moon, just because I like to
change it up a little bit, and I feel like
sometimes if I'm coming from the other direction, I might
see something I hadn't seen before.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Okay, I get that.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Otherwise I'm like you, man, I go to the left
as we get in and circle loop around.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
But you know how when you're driving around and you
see Triple A and they're doing their driver's training and
they always say driver training on board there should be
a new Costco customer sticker that you have to wear
when you're walking around.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
They should make them have the carts that have the
pole with the light on the top. That's right, yeah,
the flag, But I see. I go there mostly for
my frozen foods. I love frozen food that seemed to
be really freshly, like pre made hamburgers that just everything.
It was a fantastic uncrust the bulls a goos.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I get the croissants, the mixed vegetables.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Do you get the croissants that are that are that
haven't even been cooked yet?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yes? Yeah, I get everything, the unbaked ones come back.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, I love eggos, the tater tots. I get the
Tyson chicken, the Jumbo corn dogs, I get everything. The
chicken patties, the dinosaur chicken patties, the dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I don't care, man, they're cheap. I enjoy those. You
know what I got that they do annually.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
It's probably not there now because it's after Thanksgivings. That
giant tub of jyp cranberry, Yeah thing, we got that
and use it on Thanksgiving? Man, you dip that everything. Yeah,
that's awesome. Plus I like the Marie calendars, chicken pot pies.
You have to buy eighteen of them. But I enjoy that.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Okay, So here's the problem.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And again I'm prefacing this with I'm the biggest Costco
fan in the world. But I see a problem at Costco,
and I see it every time I go. Every single
time I go, whether it's one in Burbank, whether it's
the one in Valencia where it is I see I
go down to the frozen fish aisle, whether there's you know,
(19:21):
the Atlantic salmon, the shrimps, I you know, the the
what it's that Tempora shrimp, and then you've got the
Alaskan salmon, yes, all kinds of you know, Mahi mahi,
all that, all that stuff. I every single time I go,
I see palettes of the fish in the aisle, of
(19:45):
the refrigerators and the freezers sitting out in the middle
and I and I always pick it up and I
always like feel it. It's sort of still frozen. But
I don't know if it's going to be unfrozen. And
I don't know if you can unfreeze shrimp and then
freeze it again. I don't know the rule is, But
I see frozen fish in the middle of the aisle
(20:06):
every time I go, and it flips me out.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
You don't really eat fish too much anyways, No, but
that you have a bias against it. For me, you're
looking for a reason not to like the fish.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I am.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I am exactly. I'm actually looking for a reason to
buy it, and that's not.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
The reason they keep taking it away.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
But I but have frozen food. I don't know if
it can unfreeze or thought. I guess tim that's the term.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Right, generally not the best thing for food that's been
frozen to tow and then refreeze.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Yeah, is that that's the general rule?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Yeah, it's why do you think there's an issue?
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I don't necessarily think that there's an issue with like
contaminants or anything like that, but it's just the quality. Yeah,
it's more the quality of it than anything. And also
I think that Costco. I don't know how often the
guys in your costco are run around moving stuff around,
but it's pretty constant, mind, so I just assume that
they're getting to it pretty quick. I say, it's kind
of unfrozen a little bit when you touch it, or no,
(20:57):
you know it's still frozen, and that still frozen, but
I have flished me out. But you know, I'll drive
to Valencia to go to a different Costco just to
see what the new products are, the different product. Yes, absolutely,
we'll go to the one at San Dimaz. We'll go yeah,
further back that way. We'll go to the one like
what you talk about at at near Irwindale, Like yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Exactly five.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, that one's trigger to get to because you gotta
get off the freeway, but a mile before that or
mile after to get to it or else there's train
tracks everywhere.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
You'll box you.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
In past the exit and then see the Costco.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Right, Yeah, you got to pass the Costco then get off,
then come back to it, or else you get locked
off by all these train tracks around there. Yes, but
I I love Costco and I think, and I think
I do feel special that I'm a member. Even though
I pay for the membership, they've allowed me to become
a member. I don't remember any initiation V process. I
don't remember any of you remember any of that stuff. Oh,
(21:48):
here's another question I have for you. And I see
this at Costco all the time. One of the gift
ideas is to give somebody a membership to Costco.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Right, here's the question. Is that in perpetuity? Is that forever?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Because that is an annual Okay, so so the next
year is on you, right, it's a it's a so
you buy a guy a car and then I don't
I don't know, you make it, you make a car payment,
and then the next the fifty year on you.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I don't know, I don't know if you're tested out
and you buy me a car Christmas.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
But I think if you buy somebody membership, then I
think the next year is on them.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
On on the person who received it. Yes place, Oh yeah, who's.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Gonna go I'm gonna pay for this this year and
I'm gonna do it again.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Maybe if you love the person, you buy it for
them every year. If it's a child, or if it's
a family member, husband or wife.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, only I mean if you love us. I mean yeah, right,
what do you what?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Bellio?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You don't even go to Costco? And even talking about.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
I couldn't find it.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Because it closed close seven years ago. You can't find it.
You can't find anywhere. You can't find a Costco anywhere
I could. There's just not enough. There's none of an
Orange County I couldn't find one thee No wonder.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
What Orange County.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
No wonder why there's so many rotisserie chickens.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I will say Costco on two levels is very smart.
If they end up buying selling strawberries, that'll uh, you know,
make your insides want to be on your outside. Then
they'll call you because they have everybody who bought those berries,
and they'll either text you or call you or email
you and say, hey, if you're on the can, it's
because of us.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
The first time you get one of those notifications, everybody's
going to be.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Going hang on. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
I completely didn't realize that they track every single thing.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I bought everything, everything. So that's something cool that Costco does.
Another cool thing they do is they keep track of
every single zip code that comes into their store. And
if they find enough zip code from enough low from
one location.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Oh people whose home address or whatever?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah no, no, no, no, from from a from a certain city.
Like let's say there's a lot of people going to
the burbank Costco that are from uh, let's say, uh,
I'm not Upland let's say North Van Eyes or you know,
Shadow Hills or whatever. One of those, you know, a
(24:24):
town fifteen miles from there, if they see enough people
wanted to go to Costco from that town, they'll open
a Costco there. They'll they'll that's that's how they open
costcos where they know enough people from that zip code
like their products, and then they'll open one in their neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
So like our because I mean, I guess it, yeah,
I guess it uses the members like address. Yeah, like
we have determined you know where they're coming from, Yes, exactly. Yeah,
it's not like their home costco where they normally go
to it.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Right And as soon as they they determine there's enough
profit in opening up a new location in a city,
they'll open it where a lot lot of people are
driving from that city to a to a nearby Costco.
So they got it going on Costco. I just wished
and pray that people would get with the program that
there's an unwritten circle, unwritten rule, and you've got to
(25:16):
follow the crew. You go in, you go back, you
go left, and you come forward. You don't swim against
the stream in costco. You know, those are the same
people in the fast lane going slow.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
That's right out out.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
You recently went on a cruise. I like to live
vicariously through you. You're you get out there in the world.
You've been to Vietnam, You've been to Although when you
came back from Vietnam and and you said you ran
into somebody and you said, you know, I was in Vietnam,
I thought, I think you.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
Have to say you vacation. I said, I was in
Noam is what I showed.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, I think you have to say you vacation, and
you can't say I was a nom.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
I did tell you about running into the guys who were,
you know, former vets who were returning to Vietnam. In fact,
the bus said US veterans were turning to Vietnam. Oh really, yeah.
And I went up and because I was very affected
by the Vietnam Wars, were many, you know, I'm just saying, like,
I feel like I've seen a bunch of the documentaries,
I've done a lot of the reading. And so I
went over there and I was very emotional. As I
was speaking to them. There was a small group and
(26:23):
one of them said, honestly, dude, we're kind of over it.
We're just kind of visiting. But there are a couple
of guys in our group you should talk to if
you're you know.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
So it's sort of like I felt like I brought
too much emotion to the party in Vietnam.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Oh man. But hey, yes, I had a great time
on this.
Speaker 8 (26:38):
This is It was leisurely, tim, It was less significant,
It was less full of choking up moments. It was Mexico, our.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Neighbors to the south.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
You leave from La left from San Diego, San diegog Yeah,
and then how many days in Mexico?
Speaker 8 (26:55):
There were three days at see Tim? And then anyway,
they magic of potential as you look out over the
horizoness or nothing but the Pacific.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
There was a casino, how'd you do?
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Pretty what? Pretty much spanked as I always am.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Yeah, yeah, And I want to say this and I
don't mean this, you know, I guess I do mean
it in sort of a disparaging way. The casino was
really like the lowest end casino in Reno that you
could find.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Okay, you're able, like seven year old women and cheerleading.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
Outfits and you know, wearing the in those carts yeah,
there are a lot of carts there and there, and and
I didn't and it was filled with smoke.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
You know, I'm not a filled with it, and uh
kind of guys.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
And then but because I've got the illness, which is
that I wanted, you know, a little gaming, I sat
down and then I gets so you get slapped around,
you lose all the money and you you don't really
luxuriate in a casino experience.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Right, But you got sick on the cruise, right, I
will started.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
I was started. I was already sickond that.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
But you you got and then you got on the cruise.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
I was I had a cold at the beginnings of
a cold, and you got on the cruise.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
They let you do that.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Well, I tested for COVID. I was negative and all
that stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I mean, so do they take your temperature when you
come on? No? No, maybe they should start.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
At my worst okay, which is probably day three of
the cold. And I felt like just horrible. I looked
better than nine tons of the people on that cruise.
Oka'm just saying it was.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Not did you feel bad you were getting on a cruise.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
I'm saying they're not doing health checks.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Look around these people are you know, this is you
really at your worst?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
But did you stay in the cabin when you were
sickre did you all walk around?
Speaker 6 (28:38):
I think I walked around?
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Yeah, I mean I wasn't you know, I wasn't in
close proximity to anybody. I don't think. I mean I
had a cold. You're right, I guess I could have
stayed home.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
I should have. Maybe Now I kind of feel bad.
You know who got the cold? Courtney? Oh no really, yeah,
she got the hold and she got much sicker than
I was.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, because you're in the same you know, eightiesquare feet exactly. Yeah,
Oh that's horrible. Yeah, it was pretty what a nightmare.
What was the name of the ship?
Speaker 6 (29:04):
It was the Norwegian? It was a Norwegian?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Oh there was Norwegian. Your Luck's over?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Is that the name of the exactly?
Speaker 6 (29:13):
It was.
Speaker 8 (29:14):
I've never been on that line before. People are very
very nice, but I wasn't. I loved our room, loved it.
You have balcony, had a balcony, had set, We had
a sweet Wow. Because it's one of those it's not
like a super high end line, so you can you
can just let a couple of bucks go, you can
stay in a nicer accommodation.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's called the Viking line or what was the Norwegian
Norwet region.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
Yeah, so we loved the room, not as crazy for
you know, some of the aspects of.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
The You keep the window open at night the balcony
during the day though, but not at night.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Not at night.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Really, I thought that'd be like the attraction to hear
the ocean cruise around it. Probably nice outside, was it nice?
Was the temperature nice?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Eighties?
Speaker 6 (29:54):
Yeah, very nice, it was.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
Really it's it's nice to go to some of these
warm weather ports in the wintertime when it's chili.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
And when you're obviously, when you're on the balcony at night,
do you think about jumping off?
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I really don't you think about throwing Courtney over?
Speaker 8 (30:10):
I never have, you know, I'm horribly afraid of heights,
but I mean, like really like cripplingly. So I don't
really get close to the balcony. Oh really, yeah, I
can't click get close to the railing. Okay, And if
you if like you and hour together and you were
to get close to the railing, I would not be
able to handle that anxiety. No, it's true, it's I've
got a serious psychological problem.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Wow with this.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
You knows cruising Mark?
Speaker 8 (30:33):
Yeah, yeah, if you go close to the if anybody
you know I care about it's close to that railing,
I like will double over with anxiety.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Really yeah, literally double over.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Maybe cruising is not for you.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
You know that ocean.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
I got to tell you, man, that ocean is so calming,
it's so restored.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
It's special. Gosh, I really love it.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
It really is great.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I mean I haven't been on a cruise since I
went with my mom to Alaska when I was fifteen,
and I thought just being out there at night, you know,
alone because I was up till like two o'clock and
everybody else was in their seventies, it was asleep, just
to hear the ocean and to be on that ship,
and it's it's cruising at you know, twenty five thirty
miles an hour whatever they're doing, and it's just it's
(31:17):
something that if you don't experience, you can never tell
anybody what that feeling is like.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Yeah, I think you're right. It's transcendent.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
It don't get hits you on another level.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
And since I was the only kid, I was fifteen
and the next closest person. My age was fifty four
or fifty five, and because I went for the first
two weeks of school. My mom was a life master
and bridge and she could take a kid with her
for one hundred.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Bucks two weeks.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
So at night I got in real close with the
captain and the first mate and the you know.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Sure they see a fifteen year old kid who's got
interested in this stuff, right, and you had interest in
Maritimes school.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I did.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
So they allowed me to sit up in the captain's
chair for a couple hours, and at one point they said,
they got to move the ship three degrees uh north
northeast and they let me do it.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
That's very cool. How great is that for you? That
had to be a thrill.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
And then I'm sitting there looking the radar and see
what I said, what is that that bleeping there? And
they said, oh, that's another cruise ship and we've already
notified them that they see us and we see them.
But it was just at fifteen, I mean, my eyes
were like, you know, like like watermelon.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Sure, I can't believe I'm doing this.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Yeah, it was great, That's super exciting.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
I'll never forget that.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
It was on the Royal Viking Sky, a line that
doesn't exist anymore. I don't know why, but you know
it went away. Those lines. Sometimes they go.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
Yeah, there's a there's a lifespan, that's right.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
But they say that the cruising was all generated and
all started and they can trace it all back to
the love Boat. The love Boat is what really kicked
off cruising. It made people around the world want to
go on these cruises because they thought celebrities were going
to be on them, and that they can trace the
boom and cruises.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Right back to love Boat. Yeah, yeah, is that crazy?
Speaker 8 (32:59):
That is And it's very funny that they think in
terms of celebrities being there, because I've talked to a
couple of celebrities about like, hey, do you like the cruise,
and to a person and they go, it's not that
I don't like it. I can't do it, And I
say why not? And then they just point to their
face and they go because of that, because of what meaning,
I'll be taking selfies all the time with the Yeah,
(33:22):
I know.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Nobody knows who these people are. Yeah, they point to
their face. You got to tell me off the air
what celebrity pointed to their face that I really did
that multiple points. Oh my god. Can you imagine. Can
you imagine any conversation at any time you point it
to your face saying, look, I'm too popular to do something.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
Let me just say that I was sympathetic to that. Actually,
I thought, oh, really, well, in the sense that you're
trying to just kind of enjoy it, okay a little bit.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
You know, Since you like that, I'm gonna start doing
that around you when we run into people.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
I don't. I don't. It's it's like.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
We go to Morton's, I'm like, oh, I like to
go to the bar, but point to my face. Yeah, alright, alright,
I'm glad you came in. We're live on kfi A

thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
I'm trying to get money hits.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Oh here ware you go.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
And you had a great joke that after you got
burned in your garage and you paid for a new face,
you would tell people you are the new face of
comed That's right. I have the new face of common
that's right. And I was two faced as well, that's right.
Richard Pryor was he around when you started?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, very much.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
So.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I like Richard, great comic, really the most naturally funny guy.
I mean, he would just slay the room just to
kill me, just you know.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, he was.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
He was just the best, just the best, truly funny,
great facial expressions too.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
And it's funny because you know, a lot of young
comics don't really know his work because he just did
Live at the Sunset Trip. He was like the first
comics to shoot a stand up special that aired in theaters,
you know, and so that was a big deal. The
HBO thing was sort of new at the time, so
he hadn't done this, so there's not a lot of
his work out there, but just hilarious. That's like, you
(01:14):
can't repeat most of it, but it's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I always thought that Jeff Altman was great. Whatever happened
to him.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Jeff I had a long time. Jeff's a very funny guy.
I know he moved back east, he got married. Yeah,
he was like, you know, all comics are screwed up
in some way, and Jeff certainly takes the title. I
don't mean that insulting way. I just mean because that's
what made him funny. You just that odd, bouncing off
the wall, you know, just very hyper.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
You know, was Norm MacDonald out here or did he
start back east? Was he East Coast comic? Well, he's
from Canada, Oka. Norm was, you know, really funny. Nobody
made me laugh like Norm. I remember he used to
bring his mom to see me because I work clean,
because his mom didn't like to go to the comedy clubs.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Every very dirty. So I had a good relationship with him.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
So he takes his mom Tova and he loved to gamble, right,
so they're standing line to check in at the hotel,
and it's like maybe twenty people in front of him.
So Norman says, I'm going to go over to the
tables for a few minutes a mole okay, because the
other table loses all his money. He can't even check
in the hotel. Now he lost everything, everything out of
(02:25):
his credit card he lost.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
He comes back to his mic.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
We can't say my kind of guy.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, there you go, my kind of guy.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Well, here's a gambling joke. Guys walking down the strip
in Vegas. He's right at the end of the strip,
you know where they have that sign welcome LENSI. He
sees the guy coming from the desert. You know what's
that The guy crosses the street. So he crosses the
street and then guy's coming to him. He crossed and
the other guy guy crossing, So it's inevitable he's gonna
(02:56):
bump to this guy. And the guy sees him trying
to alloid him. Goes look Sarah, so please don't avoid me.
I'm a very successful business memory come from. This suit
costs thousands of dollars. It's very expensive. I just had
to run a bed. Like my car broke down on
the outside of town, or were sitting in the car.
I'm walking in here. I'm a successful business memory I
come from. I'm embarrassed and I'm ashamed of myself.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Can you lend me a hundred dollars?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
The guy says, well, if I lend you a hundred dollars,
I don't know you won't use it for gambling money.
I reduced pot, takes a bottle, water bills.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Oh, I got gambling money. No, I got gambling money.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I'm okay and somewhat true. Right, yeah, guys, will you know,
wait until the end like we used to. I remember
I was at Mandalay Bay and I was gambling, probably
spending twenty five dollars a hand in blackjack like an idiot.
And my wife always said, if we're going to drink,
you gotta eat, and so she always made sure we
(03:55):
had something to eat before we got you know, we
went to bed. So she goes, let's go to the
coffee shoveling a christ all right, So we go to
the coffee shop. She gets I don't know, burger or
tacos or something. And then she asked the waiter, can
I get a side of sour cream? And I said
to the waiter. I said, hey, how much is the
side of sour cream? And he said it's fifty cents.
(04:17):
I said, okay, well let's go ahead and get that
done with the hell. And then the waiter leaves and
my wife said, at what point were you not going to.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Okay the side of sour cream.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You're spending twenty five or fifty dollars a hand on
blackjack and I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Get a dollar of sour cream because of you.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Well, that's like the guy gets an elevator, a husband
and wife are arguing, you know, the wife's crying. The
guy goes, you lost five hundred and I gave you
five hundred dollars, you lost five What are your nat
You're stupid?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
And she goes, but you lost five thousand dollars. Yeah,
but I know how to gamble. Hey, you said you
also said you have a great golf joke.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Oh I like this, Well, I mentioned because you talk
about a woman who's corbroke.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Guy Saturday goes out to play golf and he's running
a little bit late on his way home and sees
a woman with a flat tire. Frantic oh waving, Okay,

Speaker 6 (06:29):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You know what I also read recently, maybe maybe I
heard this from you. The Cadillac is the only company,
I think worldwide that lowered its demo.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Not the only, but one of the first, one of
the first rolls froths manager to do it too. But
Cadillac went from being the old man's car, right like
we were kids, your dad's Cadillac, you know. Now kids
know Cadillac for the CTSV and the six speed manuor transmission,
and they're very fast, high performance cars. You know, they
do narberg Ring and all those kind of things.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
So, and that gets the demo down. You've got a
lot of young people going because you can get a
Cadillac with a stick shift.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You can't even get Oh that's great.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You can't get a carvet.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Anymore with a stick is that right?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
You can't do that, but the Cadillac again, so it
makes it pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Are they more expensive to get to buy a stick
shift because they got to make them?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
No, they're about the same. It's about the same. It's
fifty fifty.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Let me ask you a dumb question about about a car.
If if you have a stick shift, do you also
have a transmission.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Well, yeah, all the stick shift does is shift the transmission.
An automatic shifts the transmission automatically. A stick shift, you're
moving the lever by hand.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
So the so the the transmission in an automatic is
more complicated than a stick shift.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, yeah, that's yea.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Let's say I'm gonna telling you I'm a natural.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah you are a natural? Yes, a natural?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
What?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
But yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
All right.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Conway Jay Lano has been with us.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
If you miss any part of it, go back and
listen to the podcast.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on de Mayo KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The coldest city in the nation today. It was, well,
the coldest place. I should say. It's about one hundred
and eighty four miles east southeast, almost directly east of.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Is it east? Yeah, it's almost.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Directly east of Nashville, Tennessee, in the Smoky Mountains elevation
about twelve hundred feet. It's a place you might have
heard of, but you don't know anybody who lives there. Gatlinburg.
Isn't there a band called Gatlinburg or song or ga
gatlin Brothers? Okay, this is Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and it was
the coldest place in the nation. Quick, whip around without
(08:46):
the music, belly. What temperatory you think it was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee?
Nine nine degrees in Tennessee?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Krozer fifteen fifteen Angel eighty two, eighty two. Do you
want to do it again? You're going to go the
eighty two, twenty eight, twenty eight?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
All right? Better?
Speaker 6 (09:13):
All right?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And Sammy, what's the temperature in Gatlinburg, Tennessee? I'll go
with one one, Okay, Sammy got closes three degrees, three
degrees in Tennessee. Three degrees in Tennessee. That is unbelievable. Now,
grant it's in the Smoky Mountains, but those aren't. That's
(09:35):
not a high mountain range. That's not a full, you know,
radical elevation. I think it's a The elevation is almost
thirteen hundred feet. That's nothing. The San Fernando Valley, I
think is six or seven hundred feet. So that's incredible.
And we've had a list of people, I mean, list
of cities that are experiencing a brand new low. Jacksonville, Florida.
(09:59):
The low tmperature today, well, yeah, last night was twenty
eight degrees. The previous low is thirty five. That's seven
degrees colder than the lowest temperature in the history of today,
seven degrees colder. Savannah, Georgia, twenty eight degrees, the previous
(10:20):
low thirty one, Mobile, Alabama, twenty eight degrees. Orlando, Florida,
thirty six degrees in Orlando, Florida, the previous low thirty nine. Pensacola, Florida,
thirty one degrees. Fort Myers forty two, Key West, way
(10:41):
down in the ocean, Key West fifty seven degrees way
out in the ocean. Gulfport, Mississippi, twenty seven degrees, Montgomery, Alabama,
twenty six. Macon, Georgia, twenty nine and Tampa Tampa Bay,
Florida thirty eight degrees thirty eight degrees. So look, I
(11:05):
know the global warmers don't like this, but it'll get warmer.
Don't worry. We'll get it warmer. We'll you know, we're
getting there. We're still in an ice age, and so
once we another couple hundred years will come out of
this ice age and then we'll all be okay. But
until then it's going to be freezing. And if you
(11:27):
don't believe me, we're in ice age. I know a
lot of people think I'm lying or just joking. Why
don't you go to Google and type in why do
we all do this together?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
All right? Go to Google?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Can you go to Google and type in are we
in an ice age? Are we in an ice age?
Hold on? Okay, just type in Google are we in
an ice age? It will say yes, technically we are
in a long term ice age, but it's the warmer
(11:57):
phase of the ice age.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yep, we are in an ice age.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Ice ages have cycles, that's right, human activity versus natural cycles,
and this current one we're in began two point six
million years ago, and the last time Earth was in
a cooler glacial period was about twelve thousand years ago,
so we are right in the middle, right the end
(12:23):
of this ice age. So technically global warming is coming.
Global warming is on its way. Yeah, I mean not
climate change, but global warming is.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah. But you know, but people like it warm.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Anyway, especially old people. You know, that's why they go
to Arizona. That's why they leave Minnesota because it's so
effing cold.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Good Grandma banky baby.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It's hard on arthritis.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, it's also you know, you've ever had an old
person in your car, the first thing they do is
they shut those fans off, so you know it's not
blowing off.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Oh no, I do that, so you.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Really yes, Oh my wife does that too. The one
fight that my wife and I've had ever since the
day we met is the temperature of the car, and
we have it every time we get in the car.
Even with that split, you know, dual climate where she
can have her side warm and not mind can be cold. Yeah,
(13:18):
she constantly is fissioning and saying, oh, I'm freezing, I'm freezing,
I'm freezing.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
You have the seat warmers because that helps she.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Can do I got those, I got gloves, I got
hag I got it hat. I like to keep it
as cold as I can in the fifties. And because
I can't keep the house at fifty because people, you know,
they'll shoot me. But I can keep my car at fifty.
It's always on full blast, full blast cold. And when
she gets in, she's freezing all the time, freezing, always freezing.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Raising.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I'm raising, which is good, you know. I mean that's
it does say you're getting old though, I mean not her,
but most people when you get when you get old,
you don't like the cold temperatures. That's why people move
to Florida, to Texas, to Arizona and California. That's why
this property that we all have here in southern California
is so expensive because it's warm. People like warm weather,
(14:12):
especially older folks. They can't stay. You're going to an
old folks home. It's always ninety eight degrees and it
smells like a big vitamin fart.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
That's all they do.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
They all take vitamins and they fart and it smells
like a big ninety five degree vitamin fart in there.
My grandmother Man, when we used to visit her in
her retirement home or nursing home, it was like one
hundred and three in her room, and it just smelled
like ass. It's just I couldn't wait to get the
hell out of there. Might open, oh my god, oh
(14:45):
vitamin farts everywhere.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You just went back there for a second, worst, absolute worst.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
You could literally spend about a minute in there talking
to her, and then you got to just bail.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You gotta get the hell out of there.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Let me preface this with I am probably on this
show the biggest costco fam by far. Nobody comes close Crozier,
don't even look at me by a unit close. I
go there all the time. I go twice a week.
Sometimes I go just to get the ice cream. Sometimes
I go just to look around see what the new
products are. Is it like walking distance for you? About
(15:25):
a mile?
Speaker 6 (15:26):
All right?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Maybe a mile and a half, all right? And I
love it. I love everything about it. I feel like
I'm somebody special going in because I have a membership card.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
It's like a p you mean like everybody else?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
What you mean other people?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Well, there are different levels of membership.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
So what do you have? What do we have?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Was that Jennifer shoes popped in.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
The business one or whatever, the one where you get
some you spend it up and you get money back
the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
That's you know what that executive? Oh oh the black card. Yes,
you guess what, buddy, Now I'm in.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Are you getting? You getting your your money back at
the end of like every year?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
But you know what sucks is that always comes on
the day you got to pay for your new membership.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Yes, it always comes to the day you're gona pay.
But you can't use it for that, can you. In fact,
I think you can only use it at it's a
credit essentially for Costco.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh I see, okay, yeah, but I like getting that check.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh yeah, it is nice. Yeah, and it really is cool.
I mean, I know it paid for it, but I
like getting it. But I'm a big it pays for itself.
How far are you from your nearest Costco U two miles?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Three miles? Oh you're in? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Oh yeah, I was gonna ask you, because you know,
you go two or three times a week easily. The
thing that keeps us from going probably more one money
to the crowd. You got to figure out what time
is the best time, like right as soon as they open,
or later on when it's emptied out a little bit,
and it just but you know what, I don't even
I don't even.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Hate the crowds. I like having a lot of people,
a lot of commotion in there. But I will say
that a lot of people don't understand that when you
go into Costco, there's an unwritten rule that there's a loop.
You know, you go back towards the meat, then you
turn left, you come back towards the register, and some
people are still swimming against the stream. You know, they're
coming towards you, and you're like, no, no, no, no, sweetheart,
(17:20):
you got to turn that cart around or you got
to dive through clothes to get to the other side.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Once it a blue moon, just because I like to
change it up a little bit, and I feel like
sometimes if I'm coming from the other direction, I might
see something I hadn't seen before.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Okay, I get that.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Otherwise I'm like you, man, I go to the left
as we get in and circle loop around.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
But you know how when you're driving around and you
see Triple A and they're doing their driver's training and
they always say driver training on board there should be
a new Costco customer sticker that you have to wear
when you're walking around.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
They should make them have the carts that have the
pole with the light on the top. That's right, yeah,
the flag, But I see. I go there mostly for
my frozen foods. I love frozen food that seemed to
be really freshly, like pre made hamburgers that just everything.
It was a fantastic uncrust the bulls a goos.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I get the croissants, the mixed vegetables.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Do you get the croissants that are that are that
haven't even been cooked yet?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yes? Yeah, I get everything, the unbaked ones come back.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, I love eggos, the tater tots. I get the
Tyson chicken, the Jumbo corn dogs, I get everything. The
chicken patties, the dinosaur chicken patties, the dinosaurs.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I don't care, man, they're cheap. I enjoy those. You
know what I got that they do annually.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
It's probably not there now because it's after Thanksgivings. That
giant tub of jyp cranberry, Yeah thing, we got that
and use it on Thanksgiving? Man, you dip that everything. Yeah,
that's awesome. Plus I like the Marie calendars, chicken pot pies.
You have to buy eighteen of them. But I enjoy that.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Okay, So here's the problem.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And again I'm prefacing this with I'm the biggest Costco
fan in the world. But I see a problem at Costco,
and I see it every time I go. Every single
time I go, whether it's one in Burbank, whether it's
the one in Valencia where it is I see I
go down to the frozen fish aisle, whether there's you know,
(19:21):
the Atlantic salmon, the shrimps, I you know, the the
what it's that Tempora shrimp, and then you've got the
Alaskan salmon, yes, all kinds of you know, Mahi mahi,
all that, all that stuff. I every single time I go,
I see palettes of the fish in the aisle, of
(19:45):
the refrigerators and the freezers sitting out in the middle
and I and I always pick it up and I
always like feel it. It's sort of still frozen. But
I don't know if it's going to be unfrozen. And
I don't know if you can unfreeze shrimp and then
freeze it again. I don't know the rule is, But
I see frozen fish in the middle of the aisle
(20:06):
every time I go, and it flips me out.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
You don't really eat fish too much anyways, No, but
that you have a bias against it. For me, you're
looking for a reason not to like the fish.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I am.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I am exactly. I'm actually looking for a reason to
buy it, and that's not.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
The reason they keep taking it away.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
But I but have frozen food. I don't know if
it can unfreeze or thought. I guess tim that's the term.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Right, generally not the best thing for food that's been
frozen to tow and then refreeze.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Yeah, is that that's the general rule?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Yeah, it's why do you think there's an issue?
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I don't necessarily think that there's an issue with like
contaminants or anything like that, but it's just the quality. Yeah,
it's more the quality of it than anything. And also
I think that Costco. I don't know how often the
guys in your costco are run around moving stuff around,
but it's pretty constant, mind, so I just assume that
they're getting to it pretty quick. I say, it's kind
of unfrozen a little bit when you touch it, or no,
(20:57):
you know it's still frozen, and that still frozen, but
I have flished me out. But you know, I'll drive
to Valencia to go to a different Costco just to
see what the new products are, the different product. Yes, absolutely,
we'll go to the one at San Dimaz. We'll go yeah,
further back that way. We'll go to the one like
what you talk about at at near Irwindale, Like yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Exactly five.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, that one's trigger to get to because you gotta
get off the freeway, but a mile before that or
mile after to get to it or else there's train
tracks everywhere.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
You'll box you.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
In past the exit and then see the Costco.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Right, Yeah, you got to pass the Costco then get off,
then come back to it, or else you get locked
off by all these train tracks around there. Yes, but
I I love Costco and I think, and I think
I do feel special that I'm a member. Even though
I pay for the membership, they've allowed me to become
a member. I don't remember any initiation V process. I
don't remember any of you remember any of that stuff. Oh,
(21:48):
here's another question I have for you. And I see
this at Costco all the time. One of the gift
ideas is to give somebody a membership to Costco.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Right, here's the question. Is that in perpetuity? Is that forever?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Because that is an annual Okay, so so the next
year is on you, right, it's a it's a so
you buy a guy a car and then I don't
I don't know, you make it, you make a car payment,
and then the next the fifty year on you.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I don't know, I don't know if you're tested out
and you buy me a car Christmas.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
But I think if you buy somebody membership, then I
think the next year is on them.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
On on the person who received it. Yes place, Oh yeah, who's.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Gonna go I'm gonna pay for this this year and
I'm gonna do it again.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Maybe if you love the person, you buy it for
them every year. If it's a child, or if it's
a family member, husband or wife.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, only I mean if you love us. I mean yeah, right,
what do you what?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Bellio?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You don't even go to Costco? And even talking about.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
I couldn't find it.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Because it closed close seven years ago. You can't find it.
You can't find anywhere. You can't find a Costco anywhere
I could. There's just not enough. There's none of an
Orange County I couldn't find one thee No wonder.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
What Orange County.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
No wonder why there's so many rotisserie chickens.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I will say Costco on two levels is very smart.
If they end up buying selling strawberries, that'll uh, you know,
make your insides want to be on your outside. Then
they'll call you because they have everybody who bought those berries,
and they'll either text you or call you or email
you and say, hey, if you're on the can, it's
because of us.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
The first time you get one of those notifications, everybody's
going to be.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Going hang on. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
I completely didn't realize that they track every single thing.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I bought everything, everything. So that's something cool that Costco does.
Another cool thing they do is they keep track of
every single zip code that comes into their store. And
if they find enough zip code from enough low from
one location.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Oh people whose home address or whatever?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah no, no, no, no, from from a from a certain city.
Like let's say there's a lot of people going to
the burbank Costco that are from uh, let's say, uh,
I'm not Upland let's say North Van Eyes or you know,
Shadow Hills or whatever. One of those, you know, a
(24:24):
town fifteen miles from there, if they see enough people
wanted to go to Costco from that town, they'll open
a Costco there. They'll they'll that's that's how they open
costcos where they know enough people from that zip code
like their products, and then they'll open one in their neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
So like our because I mean, I guess it, yeah,
I guess it uses the members like address. Yeah, like
we have determined you know where they're coming from, Yes, exactly. Yeah,
it's not like their home costco where they normally go
to it.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Right And as soon as they they determine there's enough
profit in opening up a new location in a city,
they'll open it where a lot lot of people are
driving from that city to a to a nearby Costco.
So they got it going on Costco. I just wished
and pray that people would get with the program that
there's an unwritten circle, unwritten rule, and you've got to
(25:16):
follow the crew. You go in, you go back, you
go left, and you come forward. You don't swim against
the stream in costco. You know, those are the same
people in the fast lane going slow.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
That's right out out.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
You recently went on a cruise. I like to live
vicariously through you. You're you get out there in the world.
You've been to Vietnam, You've been to Although when you
came back from Vietnam and and you said you ran
into somebody and you said, you know, I was in Vietnam,
I thought, I think you.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
Have to say you vacation. I said, I was in
Noam is what I showed.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, I think you have to say you vacation, and
you can't say I was a nom.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
I did tell you about running into the guys who were,
you know, former vets who were returning to Vietnam. In fact,
the bus said US veterans were turning to Vietnam. Oh really, yeah.
And I went up and because I was very affected
by the Vietnam Wars, were many, you know, I'm just saying, like,
I feel like I've seen a bunch of the documentaries,
I've done a lot of the reading. And so I
went over there and I was very emotional. As I
was speaking to them. There was a small group and
(26:23):
one of them said, honestly, dude, we're kind of over it.
We're just kind of visiting. But there are a couple
of guys in our group you should talk to if
you're you know.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
So it's sort of like I felt like I brought
too much emotion to the party in Vietnam.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Oh man. But hey, yes, I had a great time
on this.
Speaker 8 (26:38):
This is It was leisurely, tim, It was less significant,
It was less full of choking up moments. It was Mexico, our.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Neighbors to the south.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
You leave from La left from San Diego, San diegog Yeah,
and then how many days in Mexico?
Speaker 8 (26:55):
There were three days at see Tim? And then anyway,
they magic of potential as you look out over the
horizoness or nothing but the Pacific.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
There was a casino, how'd you do?
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Pretty what? Pretty much spanked as I always am.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Yeah, yeah, And I want to say this and I
don't mean this, you know, I guess I do mean
it in sort of a disparaging way. The casino was
really like the lowest end casino in Reno that you
could find.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Okay, you're able, like seven year old women and cheerleading.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
Outfits and you know, wearing the in those carts yeah,
there are a lot of carts there and there, and and
I didn't and it was filled with smoke.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
You know, I'm not a filled with it, and uh
kind of guys.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
And then but because I've got the illness, which is
that I wanted, you know, a little gaming, I sat
down and then I gets so you get slapped around,
you lose all the money and you you don't really
luxuriate in a casino experience.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Right, But you got sick on the cruise, right, I
will started.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
I was started. I was already sickond that.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
But you you got and then you got on the cruise.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
I was I had a cold at the beginnings of
a cold, and you got on the cruise.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
They let you do that.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Well, I tested for COVID. I was negative and all
that stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I mean, so do they take your temperature when you
come on? No? No, maybe they should start.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
At my worst okay, which is probably day three of
the cold. And I felt like just horrible. I looked
better than nine tons of the people on that cruise.
Oka'm just saying it was.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Not did you feel bad you were getting on a cruise.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
I'm saying they're not doing health checks.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Look around these people are you know, this is you
really at your worst?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
But did you stay in the cabin when you were
sickre did you all walk around?
Speaker 6 (28:38):
I think I walked around?
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Yeah, I mean I wasn't you know, I wasn't in
close proximity to anybody. I don't think. I mean I
had a cold. You're right, I guess I could have
stayed home.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
I should have. Maybe Now I kind of feel bad.
You know who got the cold? Courtney? Oh no really, yeah,
she got the hold and she got much sicker than
I was.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, because you're in the same you know, eightiesquare feet exactly. Yeah,
Oh that's horrible. Yeah, it was pretty what a nightmare.
What was the name of the ship?
Speaker 6 (29:04):
It was the Norwegian? It was a Norwegian?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Oh there was Norwegian. Your Luck's over?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Is that the name of the exactly?
Speaker 6 (29:13):
It was.
Speaker 8 (29:14):
I've never been on that line before. People are very
very nice, but I wasn't. I loved our room, loved it.
You have balcony, had a balcony, had set, We had
a sweet Wow. Because it's one of those it's not
like a super high end line, so you can you
can just let a couple of bucks go, you can
stay in a nicer accommodation.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's called the Viking line or what was the Norwegian
Norwet region.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
Yeah, so we loved the room, not as crazy for
you know, some of the aspects of.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
The You keep the window open at night the balcony
during the day though, but not at night.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Not at night.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Really, I thought that'd be like the attraction to hear
the ocean cruise around it. Probably nice outside, was it nice?
Was the temperature nice?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Eighties?
Speaker 6 (29:54):
Yeah, very nice, it was.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
Really it's it's nice to go to some of these
warm weather ports in the wintertime when it's chili.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
And when you're obviously, when you're on the balcony at night,
do you think about jumping off?
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I really don't you think about throwing Courtney over?
Speaker 8 (30:10):
I never have, you know, I'm horribly afraid of heights,
but I mean, like really like cripplingly. So I don't
really get close to the balcony. Oh really, yeah, I
can't click get close to the railing. Okay, And if
you if like you and hour together and you were
to get close to the railing, I would not be
able to handle that anxiety. No, it's true, it's I've
got a serious psychological problem.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Wow with this.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
You knows cruising Mark?
Speaker 8 (30:33):
Yeah, yeah, if you go close to the if anybody
you know I care about it's close to that railing,
I like will double over with anxiety.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Really yeah, literally double over.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Maybe cruising is not for you.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
You know that ocean.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
I got to tell you, man, that ocean is so calming,
it's so restored.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
It's special. Gosh, I really love it.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
It really is great.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I mean I haven't been on a cruise since I
went with my mom to Alaska when I was fifteen,
and I thought just being out there at night, you know,
alone because I was up till like two o'clock and
everybody else was in their seventies, it was asleep, just
to hear the ocean and to be on that ship,
and it's it's cruising at you know, twenty five thirty
miles an hour whatever they're doing, and it's just it's
(31:17):
something that if you don't experience, you can never tell
anybody what that feeling is like.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Yeah, I think you're right. It's transcendent.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
It don't get hits you on another level.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
And since I was the only kid, I was fifteen
and the next closest person. My age was fifty four
or fifty five, and because I went for the first
two weeks of school. My mom was a life master
and bridge and she could take a kid with her
for one hundred.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Bucks two weeks.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
So at night I got in real close with the
captain and the first mate and the you know.
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Sure they see a fifteen year old kid who's got
interested in this stuff, right, and you had interest in
Maritimes school.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I did.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
So they allowed me to sit up in the captain's
chair for a couple hours, and at one point they said,
they got to move the ship three degrees uh north
northeast and they let me do it.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
That's very cool. How great is that for you? That
had to be a thrill.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
And then I'm sitting there looking the radar and see
what I said, what is that that bleeping there? And
they said, oh, that's another cruise ship and we've already
notified them that they see us and we see them.
But it was just at fifteen, I mean, my eyes
were like, you know, like like watermelon.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Sure, I can't believe I'm doing this.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Yeah, it was great, That's super exciting.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
I'll never forget that.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
It was on the Royal Viking Sky, a line that
doesn't exist anymore. I don't know why, but you know
it went away. Those lines. Sometimes they go.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
Yeah, there's a there's a lifespan, that's right.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
But they say that the cruising was all generated and
all started and they can trace it all back to
the love Boat. The love Boat is what really kicked
off cruising. It made people around the world want to
go on these cruises because they thought celebrities were going
to be on them, and that they can trace the
boom and cruises.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Right back to love Boat. Yeah, yeah, is that crazy?
Speaker 8 (32:59):
That is And it's very funny that they think in
terms of celebrities being there, because I've talked to a
couple of celebrities about like, hey, do you like the cruise,
and to a person and they go, it's not that
I don't like it. I can't do it, And I
say why not? And then they just point to their
face and they go because of that, because of what meaning,
I'll be taking selfies all the time with the Yeah,
(33:22):
I know.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Nobody knows who these people are. Yeah, they point to
their face. You got to tell me off the air
what celebrity pointed to their face that I really did
that multiple points. Oh my god. Can you imagine. Can
you imagine any conversation at any time you point it
to your face saying, look, I'm too popular to do something.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
Let me just say that I was sympathetic to that. Actually,
I thought, oh, really, well, in the sense that you're
trying to just kind of enjoy it, okay a little bit.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
You know, Since you like that, I'm gonna start doing
that around you when we run into people.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
I don't. I don't. It's it's like.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
We go to Morton's, I'm like, oh, I like to
go to the bar, but point to my face. Yeah, alright, alright,

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
