Tim Conway Jr. brings in his legendary Uncle Wally Dalton for a Best Of hour packed with music history, family tales, and classic Conway chaos. Wally shares incredible behind-the-scenes stories about his friend Johnny Nash — the iconic singer-songwriter behind “I Can See Clearly Now” and one of the first non-Jamaican artists to record reggae in Kingston. The memories keep flowing as Wally answers a baseball trivia question, tells a hilarious wedding story, and talks about the Dalton family’s own original songs, including the unforgettable “Charge” moment.
Tim and Mark wrap things up with a fun dive into comedian Jake Johannsen and a brutally honest take on yard sales and thrift stores — including why some thrift shops have gotten way too snobby to take anyone’s old junk anymore. It’s a warm, funny, nostalgic hour with great stories, big laughs, and Conway family gold.

And Johnny Nash had passed away. I believe it was
October six, and I didn't know until I got an
(00:23):
email today from my uncle Wally up in the Great
Northwest part of the United States, and he said, we
lost a real, you know, beautiful person today or this month.
And Wally, actually my uncle Wally has a connection to
Johnny Nash. Wally, welcome to the program. How are you, sir, Thank.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You, mister Conway. I'm fine, Thank you, you know. But
I'm telling if I felt you better, If I felt
you better, I'd be twins.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Was that a song you wrote?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
No? Probably probably.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I'm really embarrassed, and I gotta apologize because I do
consider you one the funniest people I've ever met my life,
and and and and today even today. Uh, the cadence
that I have saying some things on the radio, and
the references and and uh and and just how things
are said. I picked up from you, and and I
(01:15):
I would and and I and I still remember, you know,
spending a lot of time going to Vegas with you,
going to the card rooms together, and sitting in your
apartment in Hollywood, and and and writing together and doing stuff.
And I really really enjoy that. I'm embarrassed I haven't
had John before, so I apologize.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That's quite all right, It's quite all right. We had
a great time together.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It was really a lot of fun. And you were
the the You and and my uncle Danny were the
two uncles that would come over to our our house
on Magnolia and Balboa there and the first thing we
did is pick up the hockey sticks and go at.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
It exactly exactly it was. It was good time to
be by all. It was great in a tennis court too,
Why gosh, I was those were good times.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, I know, that's my mom. About about seven years
into owning this house, and in my mom decided, uh,
you know, for about three weeks she loved tennis. So
what does a typical woman do. She buys a tennis
court and then she used it maybe three times.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
She didn't use it much. I remember I remember playing
there with oh gosh, well, what's the comics name, Albert
Brooks with brother.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Oh Einstein Einstein. Yeah, Stein's yeah, Totein's trying to figure
it out.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It was Elbert Einstein, That's who it was. Albert. He
used to come over all the time and play, and
he was He was a very funny man, obviously. Yeah,
that that whole family were very funny. Yeah. Mister Johnny
Cash was a was a sweetheart of a man. He
was born in Houston, Texas, and he was on the
(03:06):
circuit singing, and he was obviously a great singer, but
he didn't he didn't sing reggae. You know, he's saying
it was like a dean learning that. You know, he's saying,
who good? I turned too and nobody needs I mean
that time, you know, you just go home, my god.
Of course this was in the sixties, and this was
before before reggae was really really big in America, and
(03:32):
he was he was produced by Bob Marley and I
mean that song. Every time I hear that song, and
I hear it all the time, all you have to
do is turn the radio and you can hear. I
can sing clearly now that song. Fifty years from now,
they're going to be playing that song. I mean, it
is such an anthem, It is such a powerful song.
It's just a great song. And when Bob Marley produced it,
(03:56):
they gave him It was done on Epic Records, and
they gave him all this money to do this album.
And he did it so fast because he was a
musical genius, Marley, and he had all the musicians. Everyone
knew what they were doing. They would just buzz through it.
They wouldn't spend six hours doing one song. And so
he did the album and he had so much money
left over that he produced another album and was paid
(04:21):
for by ev. I mean, it was just that's how fast,
That's how fast he got it done. But it's just
when you hear the song, I mean Johnny Nash, you
just go, oh my god, what a great voice. But
but what a great song. I mean's just one of
those one of those songs, you know, one of the
Beatles songs they'll never go out of they'll never go
out of style. It'll always be here. It's run an anthem.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
And then there's and then there's other Johnny Nash songs
that weren't as popular. But also you know that they
roll off the tongue like what was the one, Oh,
stir it up? Yeah, stir it up was another one.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I think there was a Arley tune.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
But there was another one, go the train, don't come
to Erio with the try that's it Alexander up and don.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
He did a nice job on that and I was great.
So he had a liveing aerial for a year to
get the friend so that he did a nice job.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But he also wrote that song Farmers Farmer's Daughter, what
do you do?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yes, he did. He was a versatile man.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Very But where did you play with Johnny Nash? Were
you in in Hamilton?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, Hamilton, Ontario place called the Krillian Club and it
was a supper club and he was upstairs in the
in the big time with a band and everything, and Danny,
Jackie and I were downstairs in a little lounge and
we would hang with Johnny when we got off work.
We'd go have breakfast. And he was just the sweetest man.
(05:53):
He was just just a sweetheart of a person, not
affected at all, And of course by that time he
wasn't in nineteen sixty two, he didn't have a reasonably
affected He was just like us. We were just out
there working the circuit, trying to make ends meet and
trying to catch a break. And and he sure caught
a break when he when he wrote I can see clue,
and now that was that's incredible. I never cared. Every
(06:15):
time I hear that song, I feel better. It's just
got magic to it.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
But when you were when you were playing in Hamilton,
did was he was that song already written? Was he
singing performing that song?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
No, that that wasn't written until the seventies. He was
at in seventy two, uh and and recorded right away. No,
it was just he was just a slep like us,
trying to make a buck and you know, working toilets
and this was a nice club. But he would, you know,
we would compare the ship holes that pardon me, the
bad places that we worked. So he was he was
(06:48):
just a gentleman and just a very talented man. And
and you love to see the good people win, and
he shure won. He died too soon, but he had
a great life. And as I say that he was
just a talented, talented man.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Well, I think he was eighty when he died, Is
that right?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, I think I think most people would take eighty.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yes, as a matter of fact, they would. And I'm
going to be seventy nine, So I'm looking at that
eighty going come on, come on. I've got two brothers,
Dan died. Dan made it to eighty two, my dad,
and my other brother made eighty one. So I'm shooting
for eighty three. I can lead the pack, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I'm I'm so glad that I had you know that
I was in town and I got to go to
your brother Danny and my uncle Dan's service. It was
by his size, his kids and you know, King Arlen
and the kids right Casey and Danny and Danny and Kelly,
and it was just it was such a great vibe there.
(07:50):
It was you know, there was no family feud going on.
He was just like a really cool vibe there. And
to hear me get up and sing, uh, you know
a great Irish song, Oh Danny boy.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It was so moving. I even saw it. You know,
you break down and I think I've seen you cry
maybe once in my life.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, there was. Danny was a real sweetheart of a man,
and everyone loved him and they were talking from the heart.
Everybody was saying the things that that everybody knows about
the end. He was a sweetheart of a man. Still
miss him.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
My uncle Wally is with us. I have to make
a correction here. I said that Danny wrote the I
said that you wrote the Fernando Alzuela song. Then I
got a call from ASCAP and b M I saying
Danny Dalton has sole credit and you did not participate
in that in that song.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
No, I didn't participate. It's a great song it is.
I didn't participate in that. And speaking of Fernando, we
could use Fernando tonight. Yeah, kiddings, I heard the Dodgers
were losing.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Are you did you become a Seattle fan when you
moved up there?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I did? I did. I was a Tiger fan, and
I lived in Detroit and I was a Dodger fan.
I lived in LA And now I'm I'm a Mariner fan.
But I still I'm still rooting for the Dodgers. They're
They're a favorite of mine too. They're the they're a
great team and ultimate.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
But ultimately, Wally, if if the Tigers were in the
World Series, whoever they were playing, you're a Tigers.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Fan, you bet, you bet, and Seattle in l A
and and it's just I mean, when when they got
Mookie Bets, I said, that I wanted to call Boston
and go, really, you traded this guy. Really, I don't
care how much money he got, you traded him. This
is one of the best ball players that the game
(09:38):
has ever seen, and you traded him. He steals two
bases in one inning. It's never been you know, But
here's a tribute question for all your listeners. Who was
the only one other than Mookie Bets to steal two
bases in one inning? I would say you, I could,
I could give you a thousand guesses and you wouldn't
get it. But it's probably the greatest baseball player of
(10:01):
all time.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Okay, we're going to take a break there and come back.
Can you stay with us?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Okay, all right. My uncle Walley's with us. I worked
with Johnny Nash. We'll talk to him a little bit.
And he also has another a great story about his
brother and my uncle Dan getting married and how my
grandparents got to the wedding. Is a sensational story, very funny.
It's one of those family stories and whenever we get together,
I need Wally to tell me, and so I hope
(10:26):
he's up for it. I rely on k A six forty.
It's Conway Show. My uncle Wally's with us.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
My uncle Wally Dalton joins us from the Washington Seattle area.
And so what is the answer to that that trivia
question that there's only been two baseball players in Major
League Baseball they've stolen two bases in one game of
the World Series. Uh huh, Mookie Bets.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
And there I'll give you a hint.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Okay, first name was Babe Ah. Now, when you think
of great runners, Wow, you don't think of Babe Ruth.
You think of Ty Cobb. You think of some of
the Jackie Robinson, some of the great.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Exactly. But but Babe Ruth sold two bases in one inning.
So he was he was very fast, he was a
big man, he could really run. And plus he was
a world class pitcher as well. So when when all
is said, he done, the greatest player ever to play
the game, Stay Ruth. I don't think they'll be any
argument there.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
No, I think you're right. Hey, so you got it
first of all, Ricky Henderson, what did I say? Did
I say? But anyway, so one of the great stories
that of my childhood involved you and can I But
can I ask, as your friend, I don't want to
say his last name. His first name is John. He
was a painter.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Is he still with us, Soperty, Yes, yes he is.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I didn't want to say his last name because he
did something illegal, so I wanted to leave that out.
So I'm glad you didn't include it either. But okay,
but I remember John broke his leg Saturday. He was
a painter and he fell off his ladder and he
broke his leg, and he went to your house and
you said to him, John, you're gonna drink all day.
(12:18):
Tim's gonna pick us up. We're going to the King game.
We're gonna park in the Sizzler parking lot. We're gonna
walk over to the form and you're gonna fall over
one of those parking wooden parking horse barriers, and the
Kings are gonna pay for that broken leg. Do you
remember that?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, of course I do. That's the truth. And I said,
I said, wait till we get a lot of witnesses.
Why don't we get a lot of witnesses.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
That's so great.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I mean, he went boys.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
By the way, I thought.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I thought he broke his other leg when he did
it too.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
He probably did. I think he one was gone. I
think he got the other one too. At the same time.
They paid for everything.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
We had some good seats at those Kings games after.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
That, and we always parked at the Sizzler.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Oh yes, yes, in those days they didn't They didn't
check much.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
No, Well, I don't know if we have time right now,
but can you stay with us? I need you to
tell the story of my uncle Dan, your brother Dan's
wedding in Hamilton, and how my grandparents got there. Sure, okay,
we only all right, the commercial breaks coming up. It's
only twenty two minutes, so you'll be able to gather
(13:40):
your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
No problems, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Uncle Wally Dalton is with us. He worked with Johnny Nash,
who was one of the you know, the coolest guys
and one of the greatest songs ever too. And it's
really cool that I have. You know, we have some
kind of connection. I can see clearly now was the
song and welcome back. My grandparents got to the wedding
of my uncle Dan in a very unconventional way, and
(14:07):
it shows you what the sticklers. They were for timing.
When my grandfather said we're leaving at eight oh one,
he didn't care who was in the car. It left
at eight oh one, and he would do crap like that.
But how they got to my uncle's wedding and Wally's
brother's wedding is a great story.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
My uncle Wally is whether it's Wally Dalton very funny, ma'am.
And I would say more than fifty, maybe sixty years
ago when your brother Danny was getting married, I believe
to lois right, okay, for the first time and your parents,
my grandparents were in a place called Erio, Ontario, which
(14:55):
is just directly due north of Cleveland, Ohio, on the
Canadian shore of Lake Gary. And take it away. It's
it's the morning of the of the wedding, and what
what shakes down?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
He wanted to leave. He said, we'll leave at a
certain time, and uh yeah, And he said, we're leaving
at eight o'clock in the morning, and the Hamilton's about
three hours away, so we'll get there, and plenty of
times and he hold on so he you know, I
(15:30):
was just plugging in. I'm getting loan on Jue. I
was just plugging and he was she was not ready,
and uh he said okay, goodbye, and he took off
and we got to the We we got to the
church and uh, I was there with my wife and
and we said, uh, it's Mom. And she just she
(15:50):
wasn't absolute. She just wasn't feeling good. What she's missing
a wedding. She's missing a wedding. She was, come on,
what's up? No, no, no, she you know her, She's
just wasn't She wasn't up for it. So we're going,
oh man and put a damper on the whole thing.
So we we start walking, uh into church, and all
of a sudden, there she is, and everyone went, Mom,
(16:15):
how did you get here? I hired a plane. She
went out and hired a plane, and oh, my dad
did the look on his face. I wish I had
a picture of it. His job was was down around
his testicles. It was just incredible. And the whole time,
(16:35):
the rest of the of the wedding, all we could
talk about was her getting to the wedding.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
So she went.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
So she went drove Chaththam and and charted a plane yep, one.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Joke to Chatham chariot plane and took a taxi from
the airport to the church. Gets who paid for that?
It wasn't worse.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I actually I remember my uncle Wally's with us. I
remember you introduced us to hockey, you and my dad.
I think you were a bigger fan than my dad.
You grew up in Detroit, which is a big hockey town.
When they grew up in Cleveland, they had the barrens
for like eight seconds. But I remember going to the
hockey game with you, and it was me, you Doherty,
and a couple of my brothers, and we were sitting
behind one of the nets, and that was back before
(17:19):
they put that net screen up there, and a puck coin,
you know, eight hundred miles an hour, it can hit
you right in the teeth. And I remember a puck
comes up, it lands right in our seats, and the
guy behind us takes a dive to try to get
the puck and he knocks out one of his lenses,
one of his glass lenses out of his glasses, and
(17:41):
we look at the guy and he's wearing those those
coke bottle glass lenses. They're like two inches thick. So
Wally reaches down and he gives them an ice cream
carnation plastic cup and goes, here, try this, and the
guy behind him goes, fu, I'll kick your ass, and
Wally goes no, no, no, your lenses inside this this
(18:03):
carnation pup. I remember like that that. I remember like
as if that happened last week. Wally.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Oh, and you you can't write these stories, rich.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I always remember. I have a story that my mom
didn't like me to tell because she said their family stories,
and evidently I wasn't part of the family. But I
remember going to ERIEO and your mom occasionally, before you
know she sobered up in life. She used to enjoy
a pop every once in a while, I think it's
fair to say, right, And I remember her coming down
(18:42):
the stairs, not much clothing, going behind the refrigerator, grabbing
that that whiskey or gin bottle, taking a pop, and
then going back up the stairs. And with every step
she took there was a new fart sound and it went,
it went, And when she got to the top of
(19:07):
the stairs, my brother Pat whispered to me, George, charge,
that was great man. Anyway, I gotta play the song
for you. This is uh. I just was sent this
song by Randy Wang. This is Danny, your brother. Danny
(19:28):
wrote this beautiful song that I still enjoy and now
I have a copy of it. And I think you
remember him sending this to you and ask you what
you thought about it. It was when John Kerry ran
against George Bush for President of the United States. Here
it is. It was part of sixty nine in the

my cousin Wally's son is named Morgan and his nickname

Dance had a pretty wicked slapshot and could tickle the twine,

the name of the dance, and look, I go, hey,
the dance tickles that twine. And then I get a
(23:20):
hault and then I get a call from HR saying hey,

the twine. I had to explain to everybody what that meant.

Oh that's hilarious, wonderful.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
All right, Please say hi to Anne, Marie and Morgan.
Speaker 2 (23:40):

Thank you. Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
All right, there he goes Wally belt Man. That guy
is the best.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Mark Thompson is here.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I didn't know that we have I wouldn't say mutual friend.
We've had Jake Johnson on the show years and years ago,
and he's one of my favorite comics. But I didn't
know you were friends with him.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Oh yeah, for many years. I go back to the
Bay Area. That's where he first met in San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
One of the funniest guys ever.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
I agree completely. I think he's literally one of the
funniest minds of his generation.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
He has a run about yard sales that I still
repeat on the show. He said he was having a
yard sale and he put all this stuff out in
the morning, and strangers come by and one guy picks
up a lamp and says, this lamp doesn't have a shade,
and Jake says, yeah, well, it's a seventy dollars lamp,
(24:57):
and the reason it's a quarter is because it doesn't
have a shade. Because we want twenty five cents for it.
He goes, well, it doesn't have a shade, and he says, yeah,
I'm explaining to you that I paid seventy but I'm
willing to give it to you for twenty five cents
because the shade is missing. And he says, well, I
got to then buy a shade for it. And Jake said,
at that point, my instincts were to tie him up
(25:21):
and burn him to a stake right there at the
garage sale, but I didn't do that because I know
in my history with garage sales, if you start burning
neighbors at a stake, it cuts down on foot trap.
I mean, I don't do it justice.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
I mean it's something like it does a whole run.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
He does a whole run on the garage sale and
how you essentially have marked down everything to be purchased
with whatever, and then people are still sitting there like
it's a negotiation. And I think he does the thing
about a leather jacket some guy, like he said, the
leather jacket's five dollars, okay, and the guy goes, I'll
give you a dollar for it, and that it was
one of those there. I'd rather set this fire, set
(26:02):
this on fire right now than sell it to you
for a dollar. That's great, I mean five dollars. It's
true though. You know, I've got all this stuff that
I'm looking to get rid of. It's hard just organizing it.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I'm in the middle of doing that myself, and I
think everybody is because I took stuff to the good
Will the other day, and the Goodwill when I was younger,
I used to be so happy that you came by.
It's like, oh my god, you know it. We'll take
this for sure. Are you sure you want to get
rid of this? Not like I love that now, you know.
I was told by this one in Burbank that they
(26:34):
opened it. They start collecting donations at one thirty. So
I showed up at one twenty five and sat in
the car for two minutes. So it's one twenty seven
and I said, I'm hey, can I donate some stuff.
He's like, we don't open a one thirty and I said, well,
rules and rules. By the time I walked back to
(26:55):
my car, it's going to be one twenty eight. By
the time I get this stuff out of the car
might be one twenty nine. I might just be at
the finishing line here at one thirty. So I bring
this stuff and I said, where can I put it?
He goes, what is it? I go, wait a minute,
what is it? It's free stuff. It's my free stuff
I'm giving to you. I said, it's a TV set.
(27:16):
He says, does the TV set work? I said, well,
it was in our kitchen this morning and I watched
the news on it, So yes, the little TV set
does work. We just don't have the room for it
any where. We bought a air fryer and so he
took that. And then I had two scooters that my
daughter used all the time. And he goes, looks like
the you know, one of the wheels is rusting on.
I'm like, buddy, look, this is not a negotiation. Either
(27:39):
you want it or you don't. I'm gonna throw this
stuff out if you don't want it. Right. But man,
they make you feel like like like they're doing you
a favor.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Well, they make you feel as though.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
And I've had the same thing happen where they talk
about the vintage of your TV and it doesn't have
a firestick thing or whatever. It's like, wow, seriously, it's
a seventy inch screen. It's somebody that make somebody very happy, right,
And there are other things like that. They make you
feel a little bit like everything has to be in
pristine condition, like that was the thing with your daughter's scooter.
Well there's a little rust on it. Yeah, well, you
(28:08):
know it is huge. That's why I'm here with it.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I called the Salvation Army and we had a bunch
of furniture to give away, and one of them was
a big kitchen table. It was a nice wooden table
that maybe we spent I don't know, four or five
hundred bucks we bought it. We had it for ten
years and we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner on that table,
and I had breakfast on that table before they came.
(28:31):
That afternoon. I pulled outside and he came to pick
it up. And the guy says, you know, there's a
big chip out of one of those legs. And I said, well,
I've eaten breakfast, lunch, and dinner on that table for
ten years. I never even noticed it. And I had
breakfast on that table this morning, and now it's not
good enough for your crow.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
And he says, well, we can take everything, but this,
this and this, And I said, buddy, look, with all
due respect, this is an all or nothing.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Oh you So you really drove a tough bargain.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I said, we're not gonna I'm not going to dance here,
and you're not going to let him pick and choose. No, no, no,
I said, either you want you take everything, which which
includes like an old uh you know, mini bike that
still worked. You take everything where you take nothing. And
he's like, well, I can't take that table. I said,
all right, time to what wow on.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
You stuck to the conway? Fred was all or nothing?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I don't you know what. It irritated the hell out
of me that that that table was good enough for
my family. For ten years, I never even noticed that
chip and yet you know it's got not good enough
for you know, this crew. But it wasn't the Salvation Army.
It was God. What charity was.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
There's so many of them.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
The charity that goes around and drops off the bags
and says, hey, we'll be in the neighborhood. I'm you know,
put stuff in the you.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Know those are the can can bag the can bags.
I don't know what they have.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
They have another faction that does furniture and house household goods,
but man, they sent it was like I was. It
was like, are you meeting me the Riot Act? Like
now you should you know? That sucks? That sucks. That sucks.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
How dare you that sucks?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Right?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Your whole house sucks. I'm surprised you're not driving.

And Johnny Nash had passed away. I believe it was
October six, and I didn't know until I got an
(00:23):
email today from my uncle Wally up in the Great
Northwest part of the United States, and he said, we
lost a real, you know, beautiful person today or this month.
And Wally, actually my uncle Wally has a connection to
Johnny Nash. Wally, welcome to the program. How are you, sir, Thank.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You, mister Conway. I'm fine, Thank you, you know. But
I'm telling if I felt you better, If I felt
you better, I'd be twins.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Was that a song you wrote?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
No? Probably probably.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I'm really embarrassed, and I gotta apologize because I do
consider you one the funniest people I've ever met my life,
and and and and today even today. Uh, the cadence
that I have saying some things on the radio, and
the references and and uh and and just how things
are said. I picked up from you, and and I
(01:15):
I would and and I and I still remember, you know,
spending a lot of time going to Vegas with you,
going to the card rooms together, and sitting in your
apartment in Hollywood, and and and writing together and doing stuff.
And I really really enjoy that. I'm embarrassed I haven't
had John before, so I apologize.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That's quite all right, It's quite all right. We had
a great time together.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It was really a lot of fun. And you were
the the You and and my uncle Danny were the
two uncles that would come over to our our house
on Magnolia and Balboa there and the first thing we
did is pick up the hockey sticks and go at.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
It exactly exactly it was. It was good time to
be by all. It was great in a tennis court too,
Why gosh, I was those were good times.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, I know, that's my mom. About about seven years
into owning this house, and in my mom decided, uh,
you know, for about three weeks she loved tennis. So
what does a typical woman do. She buys a tennis
court and then she used it maybe three times.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
She didn't use it much. I remember I remember playing
there with oh gosh, well, what's the comics name, Albert
Brooks with brother.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Oh Einstein Einstein. Yeah, Stein's yeah, Totein's trying to figure
it out.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
It was Elbert Einstein, That's who it was. Albert. He
used to come over all the time and play, and
he was He was a very funny man, obviously. Yeah,
that that whole family were very funny. Yeah. Mister Johnny
Cash was a was a sweetheart of a man. He
was born in Houston, Texas, and he was on the
(03:06):
circuit singing, and he was obviously a great singer, but
he didn't he didn't sing reggae. You know, he's saying
it was like a dean learning that. You know, he's saying,
who good? I turned too and nobody needs I mean
that time, you know, you just go home, my god.
Of course this was in the sixties, and this was
before before reggae was really really big in America, and
(03:32):
he was he was produced by Bob Marley and I
mean that song. Every time I hear that song, and
I hear it all the time, all you have to
do is turn the radio and you can hear. I
can sing clearly now that song. Fifty years from now,
they're going to be playing that song. I mean, it
is such an anthem, It is such a powerful song.
It's just a great song. And when Bob Marley produced it,
(03:56):
they gave him It was done on Epic Records, and
they gave him all this money to do this album.
And he did it so fast because he was a
musical genius, Marley, and he had all the musicians. Everyone
knew what they were doing. They would just buzz through it.
They wouldn't spend six hours doing one song. And so
he did the album and he had so much money
left over that he produced another album and was paid
(04:21):
for by ev. I mean, it was just that's how fast,
That's how fast he got it done. But it's just
when you hear the song, I mean Johnny Nash, you
just go, oh my god, what a great voice. But
but what a great song. I mean's just one of
those one of those songs, you know, one of the
Beatles songs they'll never go out of they'll never go
out of style. It'll always be here. It's run an anthem.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
And then there's and then there's other Johnny Nash songs
that weren't as popular. But also you know that they
roll off the tongue like what was the one, Oh,
stir it up? Yeah, stir it up was another one.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I think there was a Arley tune.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
But there was another one, go the train, don't come
to Erio with the try that's it Alexander up and don.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
He did a nice job on that and I was great.
So he had a liveing aerial for a year to
get the friend so that he did a nice job.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But he also wrote that song Farmers Farmer's Daughter, what
do you do?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yes, he did. He was a versatile man.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Very But where did you play with Johnny Nash? Were
you in in Hamilton?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, Hamilton, Ontario place called the Krillian Club and it
was a supper club and he was upstairs in the
in the big time with a band and everything, and Danny,
Jackie and I were downstairs in a little lounge and
we would hang with Johnny when we got off work.
We'd go have breakfast. And he was just the sweetest man.
(05:53):
He was just just a sweetheart of a person, not
affected at all, And of course by that time he
wasn't in nineteen sixty two, he didn't have a reasonably
affected He was just like us. We were just out
there working the circuit, trying to make ends meet and
trying to catch a break. And and he sure caught
a break when he when he wrote I can see clue,
and now that was that's incredible. I never cared. Every
(06:15):
time I hear that song, I feel better. It's just
got magic to it.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
But when you were when you were playing in Hamilton,
did was he was that song already written? Was he
singing performing that song?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
No, that that wasn't written until the seventies. He was
at in seventy two, uh and and recorded right away. No,
it was just he was just a slep like us,
trying to make a buck and you know, working toilets
and this was a nice club. But he would, you know,
we would compare the ship holes that pardon me, the
bad places that we worked. So he was he was
(06:48):
just a gentleman and just a very talented man. And
and you love to see the good people win, and
he shure won. He died too soon, but he had
a great life. And as I say that he was
just a talented, talented man.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Well, I think he was eighty when he died, Is
that right?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, I think I think most people would take eighty.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yes, as a matter of fact, they would. And I'm
going to be seventy nine, So I'm looking at that
eighty going come on, come on. I've got two brothers,
Dan died. Dan made it to eighty two, my dad,
and my other brother made eighty one. So I'm shooting
for eighty three. I can lead the pack, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I'm I'm so glad that I had you know that
I was in town and I got to go to
your brother Danny and my uncle Dan's service. It was
by his size, his kids and you know, King Arlen
and the kids right Casey and Danny and Danny and Kelly,
and it was just it was such a great vibe there.
(07:50):
It was you know, there was no family feud going on.
He was just like a really cool vibe there. And
to hear me get up and sing, uh, you know
a great Irish song, Oh Danny boy.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It was so moving. I even saw it. You know,
you break down and I think I've seen you cry
maybe once in my life.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, there was. Danny was a real sweetheart of a man,
and everyone loved him and they were talking from the heart.
Everybody was saying the things that that everybody knows about
the end. He was a sweetheart of a man. Still
miss him.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
My uncle Wally is with us. I have to make
a correction here. I said that Danny wrote the I
said that you wrote the Fernando Alzuela song. Then I
got a call from ASCAP and b M I saying
Danny Dalton has sole credit and you did not participate
in that in that song.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
No, I didn't participate. It's a great song it is.
I didn't participate in that. And speaking of Fernando, we
could use Fernando tonight. Yeah, kiddings, I heard the Dodgers
were losing.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Are you did you become a Seattle fan when you
moved up there?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I did? I did. I was a Tiger fan, and
I lived in Detroit and I was a Dodger fan.
I lived in LA And now I'm I'm a Mariner fan.
But I still I'm still rooting for the Dodgers. They're
They're a favorite of mine too. They're the they're a
great team and ultimate.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
But ultimately, Wally, if if the Tigers were in the
World Series, whoever they were playing, you're a Tigers.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Fan, you bet, you bet, and Seattle in l A
and and it's just I mean, when when they got
Mookie Bets, I said, that I wanted to call Boston
and go, really, you traded this guy. Really, I don't
care how much money he got, you traded him. This
is one of the best ball players that the game
(09:38):
has ever seen, and you traded him. He steals two
bases in one inning. It's never been you know, But
here's a tribute question for all your listeners. Who was
the only one other than Mookie Bets to steal two
bases in one inning? I would say you, I could,
I could give you a thousand guesses and you wouldn't
get it. But it's probably the greatest baseball player of
(10:01):
all time.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Okay, we're going to take a break there and come back.
Can you stay with us?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Okay, all right. My uncle Walley's with us. I worked
with Johnny Nash. We'll talk to him a little bit.
And he also has another a great story about his
brother and my uncle Dan getting married and how my
grandparents got to the wedding. Is a sensational story, very funny.
It's one of those family stories and whenever we get together,
I need Wally to tell me, and so I hope
(10:26):
he's up for it. I rely on k A six forty.
It's Conway Show. My uncle Wally's with us.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
My uncle Wally Dalton joins us from the Washington Seattle area.
And so what is the answer to that that trivia
question that there's only been two baseball players in Major
League Baseball they've stolen two bases in one game of
the World Series. Uh huh, Mookie Bets.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
And there I'll give you a hint.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Okay, first name was Babe Ah. Now, when you think
of great runners, Wow, you don't think of Babe Ruth.
You think of Ty Cobb. You think of some of
the Jackie Robinson, some of the great.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Exactly. But but Babe Ruth sold two bases in one inning.
So he was he was very fast, he was a
big man, he could really run. And plus he was
a world class pitcher as well. So when when all
is said, he done, the greatest player ever to play
the game, Stay Ruth. I don't think they'll be any
argument there.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
No, I think you're right. Hey, so you got it
first of all, Ricky Henderson, what did I say? Did
I say? But anyway, so one of the great stories
that of my childhood involved you and can I But
can I ask, as your friend, I don't want to
say his last name. His first name is John. He
was a painter.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Is he still with us, Soperty, Yes, yes he is.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I didn't want to say his last name because he
did something illegal, so I wanted to leave that out.
So I'm glad you didn't include it either. But okay,
but I remember John broke his leg Saturday. He was
a painter and he fell off his ladder and he
broke his leg, and he went to your house and
you said to him, John, you're gonna drink all day.
(12:18):
Tim's gonna pick us up. We're going to the King game.
We're gonna park in the Sizzler parking lot. We're gonna
walk over to the form and you're gonna fall over
one of those parking wooden parking horse barriers, and the
Kings are gonna pay for that broken leg. Do you
remember that?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, of course I do. That's the truth. And I said,
I said, wait till we get a lot of witnesses.
Why don't we get a lot of witnesses.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
That's so great.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I mean, he went boys.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
By the way, I thought.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I thought he broke his other leg when he did
it too.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
He probably did. I think he one was gone. I
think he got the other one too. At the same time.
They paid for everything.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
We had some good seats at those Kings games after.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
That, and we always parked at the Sizzler.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Oh yes, yes, in those days they didn't They didn't
check much.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
No, Well, I don't know if we have time right now,
but can you stay with us? I need you to
tell the story of my uncle Dan, your brother Dan's
wedding in Hamilton, and how my grandparents got there. Sure, okay,
we only all right, the commercial breaks coming up. It's
only twenty two minutes, so you'll be able to gather
(13:40):
your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
No problems, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Uncle Wally Dalton is with us. He worked with Johnny Nash,
who was one of the you know, the coolest guys
and one of the greatest songs ever too. And it's
really cool that I have. You know, we have some
kind of connection. I can see clearly now was the
song and welcome back. My grandparents got to the wedding
of my uncle Dan in a very unconventional way, and
(14:07):
it shows you what the sticklers. They were for timing.
When my grandfather said we're leaving at eight oh one,
he didn't care who was in the car. It left
at eight oh one, and he would do crap like that.
But how they got to my uncle's wedding and Wally's
brother's wedding is a great story.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
My uncle Wally is whether it's Wally Dalton very funny, ma'am.
And I would say more than fifty, maybe sixty years
ago when your brother Danny was getting married, I believe
to lois right, okay, for the first time and your parents,
my grandparents were in a place called Erio, Ontario, which
(14:55):
is just directly due north of Cleveland, Ohio, on the
Canadian shore of Lake Gary. And take it away. It's
it's the morning of the of the wedding, and what
what shakes down?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
He wanted to leave. He said, we'll leave at a
certain time, and uh yeah, And he said, we're leaving
at eight o'clock in the morning, and the Hamilton's about
three hours away, so we'll get there, and plenty of
times and he hold on so he you know, I
(15:30):
was just plugging in. I'm getting loan on Jue. I
was just plugging and he was she was not ready,
and uh he said okay, goodbye, and he took off
and we got to the We we got to the
church and uh, I was there with my wife and
and we said, uh, it's Mom. And she just she
(15:50):
wasn't absolute. She just wasn't feeling good. What she's missing
a wedding. She's missing a wedding. She was, come on,
what's up? No, no, no, she you know her, She's
just wasn't She wasn't up for it. So we're going,
oh man and put a damper on the whole thing.
So we we start walking, uh into church, and all
of a sudden, there she is, and everyone went, Mom,
(16:15):
how did you get here? I hired a plane. She
went out and hired a plane, and oh, my dad
did the look on his face. I wish I had
a picture of it. His job was was down around
his testicles. It was just incredible. And the whole time,
(16:35):
the rest of the of the wedding, all we could
talk about was her getting to the wedding.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
So she went.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
So she went drove Chaththam and and charted a plane yep, one.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Joke to Chatham chariot plane and took a taxi from
the airport to the church. Gets who paid for that?
It wasn't worse.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I actually I remember my uncle Wally's with us. I
remember you introduced us to hockey, you and my dad.
I think you were a bigger fan than my dad.
You grew up in Detroit, which is a big hockey town.
When they grew up in Cleveland, they had the barrens
for like eight seconds. But I remember going to the
hockey game with you, and it was me, you Doherty,
and a couple of my brothers, and we were sitting
behind one of the nets, and that was back before
(17:19):
they put that net screen up there, and a puck coin,
you know, eight hundred miles an hour, it can hit
you right in the teeth. And I remember a puck
comes up, it lands right in our seats, and the
guy behind us takes a dive to try to get
the puck and he knocks out one of his lenses,
one of his glass lenses out of his glasses, and
(17:41):
we look at the guy and he's wearing those those
coke bottle glass lenses. They're like two inches thick. So
Wally reaches down and he gives them an ice cream
carnation plastic cup and goes, here, try this, and the
guy behind him goes, fu, I'll kick your ass, and
Wally goes no, no, no, your lenses inside this this
(18:03):
carnation pup. I remember like that that. I remember like
as if that happened last week. Wally.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Oh, and you you can't write these stories, rich.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I always remember. I have a story that my mom
didn't like me to tell because she said their family stories,
and evidently I wasn't part of the family. But I
remember going to ERIEO and your mom occasionally, before you
know she sobered up in life. She used to enjoy
a pop every once in a while, I think it's
fair to say, right, And I remember her coming down
(18:42):
the stairs, not much clothing, going behind the refrigerator, grabbing
that that whiskey or gin bottle, taking a pop, and
then going back up the stairs. And with every step
she took there was a new fart sound and it went,
it went, And when she got to the top of
(19:07):
the stairs, my brother Pat whispered to me, George, charge,
that was great man. Anyway, I gotta play the song
for you. This is uh. I just was sent this
song by Randy Wang. This is Danny, your brother. Danny
(19:28):

That's great. Well, I really appreciate you coming on. Thanks
for staying up late. I know you're an early bird.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Welcome.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I'll tell you a which story here one quick story. Uh.
We we have a new intern. She's been with the
station for about a year or two, and her name
is Morgan. So I call her the Gans And the
moment I saw her, I gave her that nickname. Plus I,
you know, because that's your obviously people who knows. But
my cousin Wally's son is named Morgan and his nickname
(22:59):
was the Game. And we used to say and the
Dance had a pretty wicked slapshot and could tickle the twine,
which means he scored in the hockey in playing hockey.
So I said to this, you know this young girl,
she's probably like twenty one, right, And I gave her
the name of the dance, and look, I go, hey,
the dance tickles that twine. And then I get a
(23:20):
hault and then I get a call from HR saying hey,
so what's going on with you and Morgan and tickling
the twine. I had to explain to everybody what that meant.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Oh that's hilarious, wonderful.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
All right, Please say hi to Anne, Marie and Morgan.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
And I will.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Whoever else is You know that we miss all the time,
but I really appreciate it. We're gonna come on more often,
like more than once every twenty years. I would love too,
all right, and maybe every Wednesday, how about that.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
That'd be great.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
That'd be great. Man, all right, God bless you. Love you, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
I love you too.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Thank you. Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
All right, there he goes Wally belt Man. That guy
is the best.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Mark Thompson is here.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I didn't know that we have I wouldn't say mutual friend.
We've had Jake Johnson on the show years and years ago,
and he's one of my favorite comics. But I didn't
know you were friends with him.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Oh yeah, for many years. I go back to the
Bay Area. That's where he first met in San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
One of the funniest guys ever.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
I agree completely. I think he's literally one of the
funniest minds of his generation.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
He has a run about yard sales that I still
repeat on the show. He said he was having a
yard sale and he put all this stuff out in
the morning, and strangers come by and one guy picks
up a lamp and says, this lamp doesn't have a shade,
and Jake says, yeah, well, it's a seventy dollars lamp,
(24:57):
and the reason it's a quarter is because it doesn't
have a shade. Because we want twenty five cents for it.
He goes, well, it doesn't have a shade, and he says, yeah,
I'm explaining to you that I paid seventy but I'm
willing to give it to you for twenty five cents
because the shade is missing. And he says, well, I
got to then buy a shade for it. And Jake said,
at that point, my instincts were to tie him up
(25:21):
and burn him to a stake right there at the
garage sale, but I didn't do that because I know
in my history with garage sales, if you start burning
neighbors at a stake, it cuts down on foot trap.
I mean, I don't do it justice.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
I mean it's something like it does a whole run.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
He does a whole run on the garage sale and
how you essentially have marked down everything to be purchased
with whatever, and then people are still sitting there like
it's a negotiation. And I think he does the thing
about a leather jacket some guy, like he said, the
leather jacket's five dollars, okay, and the guy goes, I'll
give you a dollar for it, and that it was
one of those there. I'd rather set this fire, set
(26:02):
this on fire right now than sell it to you
for a dollar. That's great, I mean five dollars. It's
true though. You know, I've got all this stuff that
I'm looking to get rid of. It's hard just organizing it.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I'm in the middle of doing that myself, and I
think everybody is because I took stuff to the good
Will the other day, and the Goodwill when I was younger,
I used to be so happy that you came by.
It's like, oh my god, you know it. We'll take
this for sure. Are you sure you want to get
rid of this? Not like I love that now, you know.
I was told by this one in Burbank that they
(26:34):
opened it. They start collecting donations at one thirty. So
I showed up at one twenty five and sat in
the car for two minutes. So it's one twenty seven
and I said, I'm hey, can I donate some stuff.
He's like, we don't open a one thirty and I said, well,
rules and rules. By the time I walked back to
(26:55):
my car, it's going to be one twenty eight. By
the time I get this stuff out of the car
might be one twenty nine. I might just be at
the finishing line here at one thirty. So I bring
this stuff and I said, where can I put it?
He goes, what is it? I go, wait a minute,
what is it? It's free stuff. It's my free stuff
I'm giving to you. I said, it's a TV set.
(27:16):
He says, does the TV set work? I said, well,
it was in our kitchen this morning and I watched
the news on it, So yes, the little TV set
does work. We just don't have the room for it
any where. We bought a air fryer and so he
took that. And then I had two scooters that my
daughter used all the time. And he goes, looks like
the you know, one of the wheels is rusting on.
I'm like, buddy, look, this is not a negotiation. Either
(27:39):
you want it or you don't. I'm gonna throw this
stuff out if you don't want it. Right. But man,
they make you feel like like like they're doing you
a favor.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Well, they make you feel as though.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
And I've had the same thing happen where they talk
about the vintage of your TV and it doesn't have
a firestick thing or whatever. It's like, wow, seriously, it's
a seventy inch screen. It's somebody that make somebody very happy, right,
And there are other things like that. They make you
feel a little bit like everything has to be in
pristine condition, like that was the thing with your daughter's scooter.
Well there's a little rust on it. Yeah, well, you
(28:08):
know it is huge. That's why I'm here with it.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I called the Salvation Army and we had a bunch
of furniture to give away, and one of them was
a big kitchen table. It was a nice wooden table
that maybe we spent I don't know, four or five
hundred bucks we bought it. We had it for ten
years and we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner on that table,
and I had breakfast on that table before they came.
(28:31):
That afternoon. I pulled outside and he came to pick
it up. And the guy says, you know, there's a
big chip out of one of those legs. And I said, well,
I've eaten breakfast, lunch, and dinner on that table for
ten years. I never even noticed it. And I had
breakfast on that table this morning, and now it's not
good enough for your crow.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
And he says, well, we can take everything, but this,
this and this, And I said, buddy, look, with all
due respect, this is an all or nothing.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Oh you So you really drove a tough bargain.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I said, we're not gonna I'm not going to dance here,
and you're not going to let him pick and choose. No, no, no,
I said, either you want you take everything, which which
includes like an old uh you know, mini bike that
still worked. You take everything where you take nothing. And
he's like, well, I can't take that table. I said,
all right, time to what wow on.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
You stuck to the conway? Fred was all or nothing?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I don't you know what. It irritated the hell out
of me that that that table was good enough for
my family. For ten years, I never even noticed that
chip and yet you know it's got not good enough
for you know, this crew. But it wasn't the Salvation Army.
It was God. What charity was.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
There's so many of them.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
The charity that goes around and drops off the bags
and says, hey, we'll be in the neighborhood. I'm you know,
put stuff in the you.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Know those are the can can bag the can bags.
I don't know what they have.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
They have another faction that does furniture and house household goods,
but man, they sent it was like I was. It
was like, are you meeting me the Riot Act? Like
now you should you know? That sucks? That sucks. That sucks.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
How dare you that sucks?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Right?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Your whole house sucks. I'm surprised you're not driving.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
I had to write you up for trying to pass
this crap off on US.
