Speaker 4 (00:21):
I was greeted with a such a warm welcome from
the entire iHeart staff.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Buddy, you're back after what four weeks away?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It was?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
I think it was like three two and a half weeks.
I think I missed three visits on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Here, yeah, it's four. It was sure, wow, four weeks. Okay,
all right, we got a lot going on. Well, I'm
sure who've got it?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
All about it?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Wango Tango coming up on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Huge into the Tango, not much into the wango.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Oddly, you know, I might actually go now because I
ran into the l presidente. Oh yeah, of iHeart sure
I was coming in.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I saw you with him. I can tell you working
some deal. Yeah, I'm trying to ignore you.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
You really did. I shouted his name. By the way,
you can see this on social media in about ten minutes.
I'll be posting it. And Tim was not Who is
that guy? Yeah, not going to throw me the bone.
He was busy working on a deal.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well, there's there's like three or four different levels of
VIP at the Wango Tango concert, and he said he
can get me to the top level like Paris Hilton style. Wow,
Megan Trainer, you know Gwen Stefani that area.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Wow, that's very cool.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I might actually go, but I got to leave all
the peasants that that I you know, the crew.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Like Sharon and Crozier and everybody Angel, your whole crew.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
You're going.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah, they'll throw him a piece of cake and you know,
I see, you'll give him general admission stuff. Maybe maybe
a drink coupon.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Make us each other for it. Hey, look, it's good
to be the king. You know the original bum fights.
Go get a radio show, bellyo. They'll you know, attack
you too.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah. How long it's taking to guess? Wow? Oh my yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
You know a lot of hosts would just give that
high end v I P pass to Sharon.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, but but then I'd never get another one, I said, right,
because then you'll be like, hey, I gave you the
past to you know, to sit around and hang with
a real guy at a concert. That's not going to
be filled with a lot of real guys and Bell
shows up. Wow, it's not an insult, it's no, No,
(02:50):
it didn't play that way at all.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
My heart hurts, Belly, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Right, No, Tim, explain like like like if I said,
I'm I'm going I'm going to pick up Frankie Renzuoli
and we're going to the track to bet the sant
Anita Derby, and instead you pick him up and you
go to the track with Renzuli. Don't you think he
would call me and say, hey, what's going on? Perhaps perhaps?
(03:19):
Or yes, yes for sure, yes, yes, yes, So you.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
See, I'm sorry. I think that's a bit of a
tortured parallel. So explain to me. If you gave the
ticket to Belly, O, who's going to call and go, hey, dude,
I gave you the ticket and you gave it to Sharon.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Bellio Gwen Stefani, they're going to be like you think
that'll whip their heads around like go in a minute, okay,
let me let me explain this to you all, yes,
in terms that even you layman's can under.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Thank you, We're going put this together.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, okay, and this concert, This Wango Tango is going
to be filled with a lot of advertisers as well.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I see, okay, so this is really there's a work
mission for you. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Have been both right, But the advertisers are a really
important part of this company, sure of course, and without
them we would not They would hear this. That's what
you hear all day nothing, right, because nobody get paid.
And so the advertisers getting the excited about going to
(04:20):
the concert and they want to, you know, uh hang
with some of them with the you know, the guys
doing the ads and saying, hey, either you know, do
this better, or you can do this better, or this
little works for us. I hate to use that term,
but right, you use it in the halls all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So I might go. I might go. I'd have to
drive separately, though, you know, because I'll be going to
a much different concert.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh, I see my wife and my sister. It's rude.
Why is that room?
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Because well I'm allowed here, but you're only allowed here.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
That's right. Well that but isn't that life? I mean,
you know, you can't buy a Rolls Royce unless you
have the money I don't. I don't complain that I'm
not in a maserati. I just don't know have the
kind of cash to do that.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Mark experienced it being being the lower level, was trying
to get in the building, right I did.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
It will be posted on my social media Mark tops
Top TV is what Mark Thompson TV. And I walked into. iHeart,
I've been here for many many years. And the why
didn't you have your card?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Because I left it.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
I left in the car, So I just thought it's
just easier just to walk in and they'll just let
me in.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
But I just never knows who you are.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Instead, they neither one of them knew who I was.
And they've been here twelve years. They don't know who
the each.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Other are, right, It's true. Well, I used to work
at Fox eleven. There's two guys.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
They don't know each other.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
There's a guard house at Fox eleven and there's a
guard house at Channel five. Right, And I used to
shoot the show for Fox over at Channel five, and
the guard at Channel five didn't even make me show
idea just and hey, Mark, come on, nice to see you,
blah blah blah. I pull in when I get to
Channel eleven where I've been, you know, decades. They go, U,
can you just show me I some I D? Of course,
(06:05):
and I go, I'm on the ten o'clock news Mark Tompson.
He goes, can I just still see some I D?
It's crazy at my own station, I would. So I'm
very familiar with this with, you know, being slapped around
in my own house.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Okay, this happened to my dad. He was doing the
Caraber Night Show. I was nineteen seventy nine, nineteen eighty
and he drove to television city Fairfax and Beverly and
there had been an incident with a stalker like three
weeks ago. So they got very secure with the windows,
the doors and the entrances. They hired more security. They
really closed. It was like a fortress. So my dad
(06:40):
shows up and they said, hey, do you have your ID?
And he goes, oh, I left my pass at home
and they said, I'm sorry, we can't let you in.
And my dad instead of calling up and saying don't
you know who I am?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
He went home. That's just great, So your dad too.
I love that moment.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Because and he has a picture of him standing there
with the guard and in the back are the cast
of the carabern Entro and you could clearly see that
one of them is him. And so he went home
and Joe Hamilton, who was the executive producer of the show,
called him and goes, where the f are you? He goes,
I tried to get in the building. They let me in,
he goes, get back here. Well, and they had they
(07:16):
had delayed taping for like a.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Haf that's just so's so your dad too.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
It was great, but so you taped you videotape the
guys that didn't know you.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Well, when they didn't know me, I went, this is
just too good. Lost it No, I said, this is
just too good. Let me break out the camera and
let's put this up on social media. It didn't change
the exchange at all. It was the legitimate exchange.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Said how dairy?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I tell them, how dare you? How dare you?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
You're security in Los Angeles? I'm a big star. How
dare you?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Did they say, well, you know, we only see you
every five weeks.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
That did not come up. That didn't come up. They
were actually super affable.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I mean they're very nice.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, they weren't stern at all. They're very nice. Guys.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
And at the end of it all, at the end
of like this thing where you walk in and you're busy,
you know, kissing up to the boss to get lango
tango and I at the end of all of that,
they still made me sign in. It wasn't like they'ing
oh wow, this is just a big misunderstanding. No, they
still wanted me to sign in at the end.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Of it all.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That's right, you know, kissing up to the boss is
I know there's a negative connotation to that, but there
is sort of an art to that. Oh yeah, and
I think that the people who you know, who are
good artists at that really rise now the top.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I said it deliberately, as kind of like a jab,
but it is true that you need to have a
little schmooze probably sure, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And you try to treat everybody you know the same.
But I can't tell the story on the air. Actually,
but this guy Paul Corvino, who runs this this station group,
he runs it like it was like nineteen fifty eight.
He really runs the station period.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Did you hear that poll?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
He runs it like old school radio run You run
the station group like old school radio.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Which which we like. You like that, am I? Yeah? Yeah,
you're on.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
We gotta take a break. We'll come back and talk
Wango Tango. Yes, absolutely, sell some tickets, right and and
and you said I can get the VI P. But
these guys have to VI These guys have to go
to uh and Bakersfield.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
It's everybody, everybody, everybody else.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
These guys are being Baker Paul.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Not enough.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
It's not enough for Conway to get others have to
be in general admission. So you understand it's not just
enough that he get vif the action we're live.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
If I.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
K A M six forty, it is the Conway Show.
Mark Thompson's here, and Paul Corvino, who runs the West Coast, Yes,
pretty much. Wait, let's turn this. Uh, Mike Connor, fire me.
I you run the West Coast for iHeart. Yeah, that's
a big deal. We have a lot of stations. How
many stations, about forty five stations? Really what station makes
(10:07):
the most money?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
This one?
Speaker 7 (10:08):
Uh? Probably Kiss?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Is that right? We got to come up to Kiss. Yeah,
you gotta get it, get back there.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Kiss. Coast is right up there too.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Coast is great on the holidays, man, when they get
those twelve shoes. We own, we own. It's like printing money, man.
But you know what, that's a big deal in my house.
When that flips to Christmas music, even you know, when
my kid was younger, even today.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
It becomes a whole different station. It's almost as if
it's got its own demographic, right. It's you know, it's
it's just another station itself, and it just owns the market.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
It's great Wango Tangos this weekend. Yes, that's gonna be here.
Is that back after what three years?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
After three years? And we're back, and we're back. We're
on the beach, out the beach. We've got Gwen Stefani
who's from Orange County, right, she's going to be performing
at Sunset on the beach. So we've got Doja Cat,
We've got Cats Eye, We've got Megan Trainer, We've got
David Gett. It a whole bunch of people that Tim
never heard of.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I heard you got that. I heard you got that kid,
the Yodels and Walmart.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Is that guy coming by him?
Speaker 7 (11:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I'm not sure your plush one to ye, but.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
It's gonna be a big deal. And and I wrote
up the elevator with you, and you offered me VIP
like the high end VA.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Come come all right, all right, now I gotta go
go sit with a big big advertisers.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Right, but not room for everybody. They got to be
in in general admissions the crew, Well you can't.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
We can only fit so many people. Yeah, in the
VIP section.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yeah, Tim delights in that news I sort of do.
He likes to shed the staff and get out on
his own.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, it does feel better, I tell you. Then, then
when you're treated better than the staff.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
We are the fleas of the show. Yes, we will
treat everyone well. And you can only fit so many people.
That's right, So stop asking croach.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
That's just a show.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Well, maybe we may be able to squeeze you in
Tango Saturday.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
The village starts in the afternoon. That's free, it's open
to the public. And then at six o'clock the gates
open for the main event. And as I said before,
we've got You've got Gwen Stefani.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
What a sunset shell.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
She's gonna go. She's from Orange County. She's very excited.
Then we've got Doja Cat, We've got Kat's Eye, a
great K pop band who are a lot of fun
making train. It is always fantastic in concert. And then
David Gett is gonna end it with his Hill and
the Hill, end the night on the beach with his
(12:42):
fun party music.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, he's very cool, very I want to see.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Jim dancing down that I want to I want to see.
I want to see Tim get his uh.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Freak on.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, I got my my coke dealer died, so I
got to find another bang around, uh twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago. But I think it's gonna be a
great concert. I know that iHeart always puts on a
big show. We went to the one in Las Vegas.
(13:11):
That was a great show, and that's that's an awesome
concert because everybody behaves. There's no a holes, you know,
and if you're an a hole, you get tossed pretty quickly.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Yeah that's your job, Timmy, you're coming down. There is
no free VI IV ticket, and there's always something there's
always a catch.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Right, But it's also look, it's a big concert for
music lovers, you know. But a lot of the big
important advertisers are coming down. And I always say to
you know, to you and de Mark and Belly and
Krozier and Angel and everybody the hardest. I think the
most difficult job in show business is sales. I really,
do you know, to call somebody, you know, to make
(13:51):
twelve calls that that you could say, that people could
say no all day long to you is very difficult
to handle. And these people, I think we have the
best sales staff here, and we have the best sales
staff in the industry. I think so too. Last night
Thomas and I and Leslie and Jeff.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Is great.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
If Adam Wilson are a head of sales, Julie Marski,
who's been you know, putting together all the sales efforts
in charge of sponsorships for this event, I couldn't be
more proud of to work with a sales organization, is
this one? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Really, it's really great. The salespeople are terrific.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Well, they've got a good thing to sell too, that's
a you know, that's part of it, right, You've got
to be able to.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, that's true, that's true. I mean I was at
KBC for a while and there, and you know, the
sales guys were you know, walking into walls because nobody
you know, you couldn't hear that station for more than
eight feet.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
So I've got we've got fantastic stations here. We've got
the exact top stations in the market.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
That's right. So Wango Tango starts officially, the music begins
at six, but we can go all day.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
You can go all day.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Come in the afternoon, We've had it's The afternoon is
free for everyone that's in Huntington Beach and we've got
you know, younger, new, up and coming performers. And then
at six o'clock the gates open for those that have tickets.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Howly stages are there? One or two?
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Is one? One big stage? Well, there's another stage in
the village which would be earlier in the day. And
then we go inside for the main event, and there's
one big stage.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I think you should get there early time. You should
get the lay of the lamb.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
You know, let's go, we'll hang backstage.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Okay, I'll do that.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I know a lot of the cops there, the chief
of police I'm friends with, and I did the awards
show for them for the last couple of years. And
if you're thinking of going to Huntington Beach and fing around,
those cops stepped you quick man. They don't tolerate anything.
This should be a great event. The weather's going to
be perfect, everyone's going to behave which is great. But
you know it's gonna be seventy nine degrees yep, and
(15:40):
at night it's going to be in the mid sixties.
So it's going to be a perfect night for this concert.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Are you gonna wear a big hat or is that
a lot of Sun's street.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
At my age, the fact that I have all my hair,
I never hide it.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Me too. Sorry, all right, So Wayne.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Goo tango aa this Saturday, Huntington Beach the web, go

and and always been the biggest Gwen Stefani, such.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
A nice person, Megan traina And then we got Then

The spartan college story that we did, when was that
was that?
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
It was Friday, Friday all day?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yeah, that was a sad story. Mark And if you
know anything about it, you weren't here. But a college
was shot up. There was two people shot, and one
of them has died. And now the person who was
just going to sort of be charged, you know, by
a couple felonies, now he's got a radical murder charge.
Sure that he's got to beat and that's going to
be very difficult to do in LA. I don't know
(19:25):
what's going to go on here. But this poor woman
who I think she was the dean of the of
the of the school passed away after being shot by
this guy who I think was a security guard there.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Yes, we've learned today the school's dean who was shot
has died, and today the man accused of killing her
has been charged with murder. The district attorney says forty
year old Jesse Figueroa opened fire last Friday, shooting the
dean and another employee. Figureoa is a former security guard
at the school and was taken into custody after the shooting.
Officials have not released details about a possible motive.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Ah, that's horrible, and that's a that's a big deal. Well,
we'll keep on top of that.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah, I was curious about the motive, but they say
they're no. I don't know yet.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
And I wonder why he was a former security guard.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I wonder.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I mean, sort of got a little squirrely on everything.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Sounds like he stepped off the curb for sure what
he did?
Speaker 7 (20:17):
All right.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Smokey Robinson one of my favorites.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Can you not love him? Yeah? And our favorite songs
what are they? Tim? Smokey Robinson Yours of a Clown
and he was with the Miracles.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
But Smokey Robinson also wrote a lot of stuff that
that you didn't know he was involved in. Oh really Yeah,
Like he wrote that song Happy Birthday.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, And he also wrote don't go chasing waterfalls to
the rivers and the lakes they yelled.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
And t l He wrote that with them. Oh, he
was the tea.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
He wrote some Beatles songs. Big guy, but he's a.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Tell me he's getting on the walk of Oh. No,
he's in trouble.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Oh and he's looking at radical charges here. Wow, sexual assault.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Smokey Robinson.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Bellio just gave me the story. I can't believe it.
I hope it's not true.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Hope it's assault, false imprisonment and a hostile work environment
and failure to pay minimum wage and over time, among
other accusations. Now, Smoky Robinson, the legendary are In b. Singer,
who was the frontman of the motown group The Miracles,
has been accused of rape dating back years by four
former housekeepers who appear to today's news conference but conceal
(21:33):
their identities and did not speak. Much of the sexual
misconduct is alleged to have taken place in what attorneys
call Robinson's blue bedroom, but also in parts of his
home like the garage and laundry room, which do not
have cameras. The attorneys for the former housekeepers believe Robinson's wife, Francis,
knew about the sexual misconduct but didn't engage in it herself. Rather,
(21:55):
she's accused of being complicit in the unfair labor practices
portion of the lawsuit and also causing these women emotional distress.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
So this has been going on for a long time then,
you know, and nobody knew. Nobody dropped a dime on
this guy. Nobody what he would do.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Would summons her to his blue bedroom after having just showered.
He would come out of the adjoining bathroom naked and
proceed to force her to have sex with him against
her will. We believe that mister Robinson is a serial
and sick rapist that must be stopped. These women were
(22:32):
all low wage earners, living from paycheck to paycheck. They
all feared missing a payday and not being able to
pay their rent or buy food for their families. And
also Smokey's Robinson's celebrity statuses.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I never thought this would happen to Smokey Robinson. I
always thought really clean cut guy who played by the
rules and made a lot of great hits, that was
involved with a lot of music groups. He was the
king of of Motown, the king of music.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, didn't seem like the kind of guy woud walk
out of the shower naked and ask somebody to come
into the bedroom to have sex with him.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Never not at all.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
Robinson's celebrity status intimidated them and all made them feel powerless.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Now, the filing of this lawsuit does not prompt an
investigation by police. We're told that the women would have
to go to police to report a crime, and their
attorneys said that their clients have not done that yet,
but that that could change. We're told they've been afraid
to report this misconduct, but once they realized that there
were other victims, they decided to go public.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Now do you think more people come out now?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Uh? It sounds like it's a domestic thing. To me,
it sounds like it all happened there at the house.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Everybody that is listed in the story was working for
him in the house.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
That is odd, though. It really is strange that you
could keep it, keep that big of a secret that long,
you know, it's odd.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Now, those four former housekeepers, they are seeking fifty million.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Dollars fifty million bucks. What is Smokey Robinson worth? Can
you afford that? Let's see, it's a net worth here.
Net worth of Smokey Robinson is one hundred and fifty
million dollars. No, one hundred and fifty million bucks.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Now, those four former housekeepers, they are seeking fifty million dollars.
We did reach out to Smokey Robinson.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
We have not heard back, and you probably probably won't live.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
In downtown Los Angeles. Josh Haskell, ABC seven Eye Witness Snooze.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yeah, I agree with you. Hey, it's Smokey calling you back.
What's up?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, that's a that's a major, major story.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Man supposed to play the Greek Theater soon?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Is that right? Do you think the show goes on?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I think it does. Yeah, I think it does too.
He's eighty five years old.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Man, oh man, what's the smoky and Smokey Robinson's a nickname?
What's his first name? His real name, Smokey Robinson. It
is guessable. It's a guessable name.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Is it something common?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
It starts with a W.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Wilford very close? Why, very close? Worthy? Oh, you're getting colder.
Go back to Wilford, Wilford Winston.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Still you're so warm, Willie, William exactly, I'll give you credit, William. Oh, William, Okay,
William Smokey Robinson. Yeah with Willie, all right, we're live
on kfive. I am six forty commence and Mark Thompson's here.
This is a great time to be alive with sports.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I love this time of year.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
You got NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, Baseball, and the NFL
Draft just happened.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
All the sports are working and it's really that every night.
I mean, it's just terrific.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
But I watched Game seven on Saturday, the Colorado Avalanche
against the Dallas Stars.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Tell everybody that backstory. It's pretty wild. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I hate the Avs, not because Bellio likes him. I
just hate. I love to hate. I have to hate
all the other teams in the King's Division. You have
to rosse you're not a fan. So I hate San Jose.
I would love to I love when San Jose has
a year where they win like three games.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
It's great.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
And I can't stand Vegas the Golden Knights, and I
hate Colorado and I hate the Oilers. So when I
was watching Dallas play the Oilers, I mean Dallas play
the Avs, Dallas versus Denver, I was streaming at the
TV like I was born and raised in Dallas. I
loved watching them get their ass kicked because they were
(26:39):
winning in Game seven, they were in Dallas, they were
up to nothing. Denver was up to nothing with ten
minutes left that game. And the guy that scored the
first goal for Dallas was a guy named Miko Rantanim
and Miko Ranton and used to be a star for
the Avalanche up until January of this year, and he
(27:00):
was going to be an unrestricted free agent on July first,
and Denver knew they couldn't sign him because they did
have the money and they didn't and they didn't want
to pay him that kind of money, and so he left.
He went to Carolina for sixteen games. Carolina traded him
to Dallas. And now he's playing so against his old team,
and he says he was a star on the Avs.
He's a star on Dallas. And he shows up to
(27:22):
play these aves and in Game seven, he scores a
hat trick in the third period to beat the Avs.
Nobody in the history of the NHL has ever scored
a hat trick in the third period of Game seven
until he did it against his old team. So great
he had four points in that third period. He had
three goals and assist to eliminate the Avs. And I
(27:43):
was texting a buddy of mine who lives in Denver
and when they were up to nothing, I'm like, buddy,
you got this. He's like yeah, boom, you know, we're
moving on. And then just to sit there and watch
it deteriorate was great. And the same thing with the
Winnipeg Jets and the Saint Louis Blues. The same Lewis
Blues had that game and they were winning that game
to nothing. With a minute and a half left or
(28:05):
two minutes left, the Jets scored one and with a
second and a half one point six seconds later, with
left in the game, they scored to tie it. And
then they beat him in a double overtime. So the
Saint Louis Blues all they to do is hold off
for two minutes these Jets for two minutes. The Jets
(28:26):
scored two goals again, the last one with the second
and a half left in the period, and then beat
him in double overtime. It's the greatest fu to a
team ever. So if you hate Saint Louis, like, if
you live in Chicago, you hate Saint Louis. If you
live in Detroit, you hate Saint Louis. They hate they
hate watch like we do out here, but with different teams.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
And a buddy of mine who watched it, who's from Chicago.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
He's with the CHP.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I don't want to say his name because I don't
want to get in trouble. He said he watched every
second and he couldn't he couldn't cheer louder for these
Winnipeg Jets. He doesn't know anybody on that team, but
he knows he hates Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
That's so great.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
But he sent he sent me a text, and I'm
and I'm with him on this. Uh, you know, the
NHL draft. The balls were picked yesterday to see who
picks first in the NHL draft, and and I'm watching it,
you know, like an idiot.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
I'm looking at it.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I'm looking at it, going, yeah, I hope the Kings,
you know, do well in the draft. And then he
sent me this note, which is great. He said, he said,
I want to live in a world where I don't
have to watch the draft lottery because my team is
actually good. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's such a great comment.
And I was going to go to the NHL draft.
But the NHL draft is filled with losers. Everybody's a
(29:43):
loser there. The general managers are all there because they're
they're team sucks. The players who all show up, they're
uncrappy teams. The fans that show up haven't had a
Stanley Cup in decades. It's a loser fest. When you
go to any of these drafts, NHL, NFL, sure, baseball, basketball,
it's three d house of losers in a big auditorium
(30:06):
trying to get better.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Well, because the best draft picks go to the teams
with the worst record.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That's right, That's exactly right. So the good teams never
look at the draft. They don't care. When's the last
time a Kansas City Chiefs fan looked at the draft?
For Boston fan, you looked at the draft, they never
looked at it.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Well, they look at it a different way anyway. For sure,
they don't look at it.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
They don't look at They look at championship rings is
what they look at.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
I'll tell you what I liked, and I again, I
don't know the losers. The Houston Rockets last night played
the Denver Nuggets, and I watched that game. I did too,
and Houston was ahead by a dozen fifteen eighteen. You
told me at one point when I tuned in, it
was like about a dozen points, and I thought I
almost turned it off. I don't know, this is not
really much of anything. But I'm watching, watching, watching, and
(30:50):
of course I'm always rooting for the underdogs team that's
down twelve, I'm always rooting for I do the same thing.
I go back and forth. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And
it was the most remarkable thing.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
And then to watch the Celtics get beat in the
last second by New York was awesome, unreal. I hate
the Celtics. It was great. But here's a here's a
quick question quiz for you. Then we got to take
a break. There's only one player who's ever been drafted
in the NHL. Okay, listen to this at home if
you like sports. There's only one person in the history
of the NHL, the National Hockey League who's ever been
(31:23):
drafted number one and never played a single game in
the National Hockey League. Which team you think made that
that pick?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Wow? Top draft, top.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Draft, choy played, never played one game, and there's only
one person ever to do this.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Wow, that's a great trivia question.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I'll cut I'll save you the suspense. Your Los Angeles
Kings nineteen sixty seven and who wasn't drafted a guy
I can't remember his name is Burghetti or something. He
just sucks and so he went never played one game, ever,
played a single game in the National Hockey League.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
They draft him and he never played on the ice.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
It's the only guy ever, wow, the only top choice
ever to play in the National Hockey League drafted number one,
never played a single puck than the National High tru
Rick peg Nutty is his name, Rick peg Nutty, number
one Los Angeles Kings come out of Canada. Didn't play
(32:27):
a single second in the NHL. That and that's the
King's only number one pick in the last sixty five years.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
It's got to be more to that story.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
So the Kings man there jaked chinked, all right? Relyve
on sixty.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty
It's cam.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
If I am six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeart radio app, can
if I am sixty, it is the Conway Show. And
look who the cat dragged in? Oh, Mark thompsays you.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Thank you, everybody, please be seated.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
I was greeted with a such a warm welcome from
the entire iHeart staff.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Buddy, you're back after what four weeks away?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It was?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
I think it was like three two and a half weeks.
I think I missed three visits on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Here, yeah, it's four. It was sure, wow, four weeks. Okay,
all right, we got a lot going on. Well, I'm
sure who've got it?
Speaker 3 (00:42):

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Wango Tango coming up on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Huge into the Tango, not much into the wango.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Oddly, you know, I might actually go now because I
ran into the l presidente. Oh yeah, of iHeart sure
I was coming in.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I saw you with him. I can tell you working
some deal. Yeah, I'm trying to ignore you.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
You really did. I shouted his name. By the way,
you can see this on social media in about ten minutes.
I'll be posting it. And Tim was not Who is
that guy? Yeah, not going to throw me the bone.
He was busy working on a deal.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well, there's there's like three or four different levels of
VIP at the Wango Tango concert, and he said he
can get me to the top level like Paris Hilton style. Wow,
Megan Trainer, you know Gwen Stefani that area.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Wow, that's very cool.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I might actually go, but I got to leave all
the peasants that that I you know, the crew.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Like Sharon and Crozier and everybody Angel, your whole crew.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
You're going.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah, they'll throw him a piece of cake and you know,
I see, you'll give him general admission stuff. Maybe maybe
a drink coupon.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Make us each other for it. Hey, look, it's good
to be the king. You know the original bum fights.
Go get a radio show, bellyo. They'll you know, attack
you too.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah. How long it's taking to guess? Wow? Oh my yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
You know a lot of hosts would just give that
high end v I P pass to Sharon.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, but but then I'd never get another one, I said, right,
because then you'll be like, hey, I gave you the
past to you know, to sit around and hang with
a real guy at a concert. That's not going to
be filled with a lot of real guys and Bell
shows up. Wow, it's not an insult, it's no, No,
(02:50):
it didn't play that way at all.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
My heart hurts, Belly, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Right, No, Tim, explain like like like if I said,
I'm I'm going I'm going to pick up Frankie Renzuoli
and we're going to the track to bet the sant
Anita Derby, and instead you pick him up and you
go to the track with Renzuli. Don't you think he
would call me and say, hey, what's going on? Perhaps perhaps?
(03:19):
Or yes, yes for sure, yes, yes, yes, So you.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
See, I'm sorry. I think that's a bit of a
tortured parallel. So explain to me. If you gave the
ticket to Belly, O, who's going to call and go, hey, dude,
I gave you the ticket and you gave it to Sharon.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Bellio Gwen Stefani, they're going to be like you think
that'll whip their heads around like go in a minute, okay,
let me let me explain this to you all, yes,
in terms that even you layman's can under.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Thank you, We're going put this together.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, okay, and this concert, This Wango Tango is going
to be filled with a lot of advertisers as well.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I see, okay, so this is really there's a work
mission for you. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Have been both right, But the advertisers are a really
important part of this company, sure of course, and without
them we would not They would hear this. That's what
you hear all day nothing, right, because nobody get paid.
And so the advertisers getting the excited about going to
(04:20):
the concert and they want to, you know, uh hang
with some of them with the you know, the guys
doing the ads and saying, hey, either you know, do
this better, or you can do this better, or this
little works for us. I hate to use that term,
but right, you use it in the halls all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So I might go. I might go. I'd have to
drive separately, though, you know, because I'll be going to
a much different concert.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh, I see my wife and my sister. It's rude.
Why is that room?
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Because well I'm allowed here, but you're only allowed here.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
That's right. Well that but isn't that life? I mean,
you know, you can't buy a Rolls Royce unless you
have the money I don't. I don't complain that I'm
not in a maserati. I just don't know have the
kind of cash to do that.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Mark experienced it being being the lower level, was trying
to get in the building, right I did.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
It will be posted on my social media Mark tops
Top TV is what Mark Thompson TV. And I walked into. iHeart,
I've been here for many many years. And the why
didn't you have your card?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Because I left it.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
I left in the car, So I just thought it's
just easier just to walk in and they'll just let
me in.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
But I just never knows who you are.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Instead, they neither one of them knew who I was.
And they've been here twelve years. They don't know who
the each.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Other are, right, It's true. Well, I used to work
at Fox eleven. There's two guys.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
They don't know each other.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
There's a guard house at Fox eleven and there's a
guard house at Channel five. Right, And I used to
shoot the show for Fox over at Channel five, and
the guard at Channel five didn't even make me show
idea just and hey, Mark, come on, nice to see you,
blah blah blah. I pull in when I get to
Channel eleven where I've been, you know, decades. They go, U,
can you just show me I some I D? Of course,
(06:05):
and I go, I'm on the ten o'clock news Mark Tompson.
He goes, can I just still see some I D?
It's crazy at my own station, I would. So I'm
very familiar with this with, you know, being slapped around
in my own house.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Okay, this happened to my dad. He was doing the
Caraber Night Show. I was nineteen seventy nine, nineteen eighty
and he drove to television city Fairfax and Beverly and
there had been an incident with a stalker like three
weeks ago. So they got very secure with the windows,
the doors and the entrances. They hired more security. They
really closed. It was like a fortress. So my dad
(06:40):
shows up and they said, hey, do you have your ID?
And he goes, oh, I left my pass at home
and they said, I'm sorry, we can't let you in.
And my dad instead of calling up and saying don't
you know who I am?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
He went home. That's just great, So your dad too.
I love that moment.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Because and he has a picture of him standing there
with the guard and in the back are the cast
of the carabern Entro and you could clearly see that
one of them is him. And so he went home
and Joe Hamilton, who was the executive producer of the show,
called him and goes, where the f are you? He goes,
I tried to get in the building. They let me in,
he goes, get back here. Well, and they had they
(07:16):
had delayed taping for like a.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Haf that's just so's so your dad too.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
It was great, but so you taped you videotape the
guys that didn't know you.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Well, when they didn't know me, I went, this is
just too good. Lost it No, I said, this is
just too good. Let me break out the camera and
let's put this up on social media. It didn't change
the exchange at all. It was the legitimate exchange.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Said how dairy?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I tell them, how dare you? How dare you?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
You're security in Los Angeles? I'm a big star. How
dare you?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Did they say, well, you know, we only see you
every five weeks.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
That did not come up. That didn't come up. They
were actually super affable.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I mean they're very nice.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yeah, they weren't stern at all. They're very nice. Guys.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
And at the end of it all, at the end
of like this thing where you walk in and you're busy,
you know, kissing up to the boss to get lango
tango and I at the end of all of that,
they still made me sign in. It wasn't like they'ing
oh wow, this is just a big misunderstanding. No, they
still wanted me to sign in at the end.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Of it all.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That's right, you know, kissing up to the boss is
I know there's a negative connotation to that, but there
is sort of an art to that. Oh yeah, and
I think that the people who you know, who are
good artists at that really rise now the top.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I said it deliberately, as kind of like a jab,
but it is true that you need to have a
little schmooze probably sure, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And you try to treat everybody you know the same.
But I can't tell the story on the air. Actually,
but this guy Paul Corvino, who runs this this station group,
he runs it like it was like nineteen fifty eight.
He really runs the station period.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Did you hear that poll?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
He runs it like old school radio run You run
the station group like old school radio.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Which which we like. You like that, am I? Yeah? Yeah,
you're on.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
We gotta take a break. We'll come back and talk
Wango Tango. Yes, absolutely, sell some tickets, right and and

a big deal. We have a lot of stations. How
many stations, about forty five stations? Really what station makes
(10:07):
the most money?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
This one?

Uh? Probably Kiss?
Speaker 2 (10:11):

Kiss. Coast is right up there too.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Coast is great on the holidays, man, when they get
those twelve shoes. We own, we own. It's like printing money, man.
But you know what, that's a big deal in my house.
When that flips to Christmas music, even you know, when
my kid was younger, even today.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
It becomes a whole different station. It's almost as if
it's got its own demographic, right. It's you know, it's
it's just another station itself, and it just owns the market.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
It's great Wango Tangos this weekend. Yes, that's gonna be here.

VIP section.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yeah, Tim delights in that news I sort of do.
He likes to shed the staff and get out on
his own.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, it does feel better, I tell you. Then, then
when you're treated better than the staff.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
We are the fleas of the show. Yes, we will
treat everyone well. And you can only fit so many people.
That's right, So stop asking croach.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
That's just a show.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Well, maybe we may be able to squeeze you in
Tango Saturday.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
The village starts in the afternoon. That's free, it's open
to the public. And then at six o'clock the gates
open for the main event. And as I said before,
we've got You've got Gwen Stefani.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
What a sunset shell.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
She's gonna go. She's from Orange County. She's very excited.
Then we've got Doja Cat, We've got Kat's Eye, a

fun party music.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, he's very cool, very I want to see.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Jim dancing down that I want to I want to see.
I want to see Tim get his uh.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Freak on.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, I got my my coke dealer died, so I
got to find another bang around, uh twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago. But I think it's gonna be a
great concert. I know that iHeart always puts on a
big show. We went to the one in Las Vegas.
(13:11):
That was a great show, and that's that's an awesome
concert because everybody behaves. There's no a holes, you know,
and if you're an a hole, you get tossed pretty quickly.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Yeah that's your job, Timmy, you're coming down. There is
no free VI IV ticket, and there's always something there's
always a catch.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Right, But it's also look, it's a big concert for
music lovers, you know. But a lot of the big
important advertisers are coming down. And I always say to
you know, to you and de Mark and Belly and
Krozier and Angel and everybody the hardest. I think the
most difficult job in show business is sales. I really,
do you know, to call somebody, you know, to make
(13:51):
twelve calls that that you could say, that people could
say no all day long to you is very difficult
to handle. And these people, I think we have the
best sales staff here, and we have the best sales
staff in the industry. I think so too. Last night
Thomas and I and Leslie and Jeff.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Is great.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
If Adam Wilson are a head of sales, Julie Marski,
who's been you know, putting together all the sales efforts
in charge of sponsorships for this event, I couldn't be
more proud of to work with a sales organization, is
this one? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Really, it's really great. The salespeople are terrific.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Well, they've got a good thing to sell too, that's
a you know, that's part of it, right, You've got
to be able to.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, that's true, that's true. I mean I was at
KBC for a while and there, and you know, the
sales guys were you know, walking into walls because nobody
you know, you couldn't hear that station for more than
eight feet.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
So I've got we've got fantastic stations here. We've got
the exact top stations in the market.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
That's right. So Wango Tango starts officially, the music begins
at six, but we can go all day.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
You can go all day.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Come in the afternoon, We've had it's The afternoon is
free for everyone that's in Huntington Beach and we've got
you know, younger, new, up and coming performers. And then
at six o'clock the gates open for those that have tickets.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Howly stages are there? One or two?
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Is one? One big stage? Well, there's another stage in
the village which would be earlier in the day. And
then we go inside for the main event, and there's
one big stage.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I think you should get there early time. You should
get the lay of the lamb.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
You know, let's go, we'll hang backstage.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Okay, I'll do that.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I know a lot of the cops there, the chief
of police I'm friends with, and I did the awards
show for them for the last couple of years. And
if you're thinking of going to Huntington Beach and fing around,
those cops stepped you quick man. They don't tolerate anything.
This should be a great event. The weather's going to
be perfect, everyone's going to behave which is great. But
you know it's gonna be seventy nine degrees yep, and
(15:40):
at night it's going to be in the mid sixties.
So it's going to be a perfect night for this concert.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Right.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Are you gonna wear a big hat or is that
a lot of Sun's street.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
At my age, the fact that I have all my hair,
I never hide it.

The spartan college story that we did, when was that
was that?
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
It was Friday, Friday all day?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yeah, that was a sad story. Mark And if you
know anything about it, you weren't here. But a college
was shot up. There was two people shot, and one
of them has died. And now the person who was
just going to sort of be charged, you know, by
a couple felonies, now he's got a radical murder charge.
Sure that he's got to beat and that's going to
be very difficult to do in LA. I don't know
(19:25):
what's going to go on here. But this poor woman
who I think she was the dean of the of
the of the school passed away after being shot by
this guy who I think was a security guard there.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Yes, we've learned today the school's dean who was shot
has died, and today the man accused of killing her
has been charged with murder. The district attorney says forty
year old Jesse Figueroa opened fire last Friday, shooting the
dean and another employee. Figureoa is a former security guard
at the school and was taken into custody after the shooting.
Officials have not released details about a possible motive.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Ah, that's horrible, and that's a that's a big deal. Well,
we'll keep on top of that.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah, I was curious about the motive, but they say
they're no. I don't know yet.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
And I wonder why he was a former security guard.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I wonder.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I mean, sort of got a little squirrely on everything.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Sounds like he stepped off the curb for sure what
he did?
Speaker 7 (20:17):
All right.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Smokey Robinson one of my favorites.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Can you not love him? Yeah? And our favorite songs
what are they? Tim? Smokey Robinson Yours of a Clown
and he was with the Miracles.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
But Smokey Robinson also wrote a lot of stuff that
that you didn't know he was involved in. Oh really Yeah,
Like he wrote that song Happy Birthday.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, And he also wrote don't go chasing waterfalls to
the rivers and the lakes they yelled.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
And t l He wrote that with them. Oh, he
was the tea.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
He wrote some Beatles songs. Big guy, but he's a.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Tell me he's getting on the walk of Oh. No,
he's in trouble.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Oh and he's looking at radical charges here. Wow, sexual assault.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Smokey Robinson.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Bellio just gave me the story. I can't believe it.
I hope it's not true.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Hope it's assault, false imprisonment and a hostile work environment
and failure to pay minimum wage and over time, among
other accusations. Now, Smoky Robinson, the legendary are In b. Singer,
who was the frontman of the motown group The Miracles,
has been accused of rape dating back years by four
former housekeepers who appear to today's news conference but conceal
(21:33):
their identities and did not speak. Much of the sexual
misconduct is alleged to have taken place in what attorneys
call Robinson's blue bedroom, but also in parts of his
home like the garage and laundry room, which do not
have cameras. The attorneys for the former housekeepers believe Robinson's wife, Francis,
knew about the sexual misconduct but didn't engage in it herself. Rather,
(21:55):
she's accused of being complicit in the unfair labor practices
portion of the lawsuit and also causing these women emotional distress.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
So this has been going on for a long time then,
you know, and nobody knew. Nobody dropped a dime on
this guy. Nobody what he would do.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Would summons her to his blue bedroom after having just showered.
He would come out of the adjoining bathroom naked and
proceed to force her to have sex with him against
her will. We believe that mister Robinson is a serial
and sick rapist that must be stopped. These women were
(22:32):
all low wage earners, living from paycheck to paycheck. They
all feared missing a payday and not being able to
pay their rent or buy food for their families. And
also Smokey's Robinson's celebrity statuses.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I never thought this would happen to Smokey Robinson. I
always thought really clean cut guy who played by the
rules and made a lot of great hits, that was
involved with a lot of music groups. He was the
king of of Motown, the king of music.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, didn't seem like the kind of guy woud walk
out of the shower naked and ask somebody to come
into the bedroom to have sex with him.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Never not at all.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
Robinson's celebrity status intimidated them and all made them feel powerless.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Now, the filing of this lawsuit does not prompt an
investigation by police. We're told that the women would have
to go to police to report a crime, and their
attorneys said that their clients have not done that yet,
but that that could change. We're told they've been afraid
to report this misconduct, but once they realized that there
were other victims, they decided to go public.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Now do you think more people come out now?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Uh? It sounds like it's a domestic thing. To me,
it sounds like it all happened there at the house.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Everybody that is listed in the story was working for
him in the house.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
That is odd, though. It really is strange that you
could keep it, keep that big of a secret that long,
you know, it's odd.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Now, those four former housekeepers, they are seeking fifty million.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Dollars fifty million bucks. What is Smokey Robinson worth? Can
you afford that? Let's see, it's a net worth here.
Net worth of Smokey Robinson is one hundred and fifty
million dollars. No, one hundred and fifty million bucks.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Now, those four former housekeepers, they are seeking fifty million dollars.
We did reach out to Smokey Robinson.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
We have not heard back, and you probably probably won't live.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
In downtown Los Angeles. Josh Haskell, ABC seven Eye Witness Snooze.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yeah, I agree with you. Hey, it's Smokey calling you back.
What's up?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah, that's a that's a major, major story.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Man supposed to play the Greek Theater soon?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Is that right? Do you think the show goes on?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I think it does. Yeah, I think it does too.
He's eighty five years old.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Man, oh man, what's the smoky and Smokey Robinson's a nickname?
What's his first name? His real name, Smokey Robinson. It
is guessable. It's a guessable name.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Is it something common?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
It starts with a W.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Wilford very close? Why, very close? Worthy? Oh, you're getting colder.
Go back to Wilford, Wilford Winston.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Still you're so warm, Willie, William exactly, I'll give you credit, William. Oh, William, Okay,
William Smokey Robinson. Yeah with Willie, all right, we're live
on kfive. I am six forty commence and Mark Thompson's here.
This is a great time to be alive with sports.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I love this time of year.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
You got NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, Baseball, and the NFL
Draft just happened.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
All the sports are working and it's really that every night.
I mean, it's just terrific.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
But I watched Game seven on Saturday, the Colorado Avalanche
against the Dallas Stars.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Tell everybody that backstory. It's pretty wild. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I hate the Avs, not because Bellio likes him. I
just hate. I love to hate. I have to hate
all the other teams in the King's Division. You have
to rosse you're not a fan. So I hate San Jose.
I would love to I love when San Jose has
a year where they win like three games.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
It's great.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
And I can't stand Vegas the Golden Knights, and I
hate Colorado and I hate the Oilers. So when I
was watching Dallas play the Oilers, I mean Dallas play
the Avs, Dallas versus Denver, I was streaming at the
TV like I was born and raised in Dallas. I
loved watching them get their ass kicked because they were
(26:39):
winning in Game seven, they were in Dallas, they were
up to nothing. Denver was up to nothing with ten
minutes left that game. And the guy that scored the
first goal for Dallas was a guy named Miko Rantanim
and Miko Ranton and used to be a star for
the Avalanche up until January of this year, and he
(27:00):
was going to be an unrestricted free agent on July first,
and Denver knew they couldn't sign him because they did
have the money and they didn't and they didn't want
to pay him that kind of money, and so he left.
He went to Carolina for sixteen games. Carolina traded him
to Dallas. And now he's playing so against his old team,
and he says he was a star on the Avs.
He's a star on Dallas. And he shows up to
(27:22):
play these aves and in Game seven, he scores a
hat trick in the third period to beat the Avs.
Nobody in the history of the NHL has ever scored
a hat trick in the third period of Game seven
until he did it against his old team. So great
he had four points in that third period. He had
three goals and assist to eliminate the Avs. And I
(27:43):
was texting a buddy of mine who lives in Denver
and when they were up to nothing, I'm like, buddy,
you got this. He's like yeah, boom, you know, we're
moving on. And then just to sit there and watch
it deteriorate was great. And the same thing with the
Winnipeg Jets and the Saint Louis Blues. The same Lewis
Blues had that game and they were winning that game
to nothing. With a minute and a half left or
(28:05):
two minutes left, the Jets scored one and with a
second and a half one point six seconds later, with
left in the game, they scored to tie it. And
then they beat him in a double overtime. So the
Saint Louis Blues all they to do is hold off
for two minutes these Jets for two minutes. The Jets
(28:26):
scored two goals again, the last one with the second
and a half left in the period, and then beat
him in double overtime. It's the greatest fu to a
team ever. So if you hate Saint Louis, like, if
you live in Chicago, you hate Saint Louis. If you
live in Detroit, you hate Saint Louis. They hate they
hate watch like we do out here, but with different teams.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
And a buddy of mine who watched it, who's from Chicago.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
He's with the CHP.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I don't want to say his name because I don't
want to get in trouble. He said he watched every
second and he couldn't he couldn't cheer louder for these
Winnipeg Jets. He doesn't know anybody on that team, but
he knows he hates Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
That's so great.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
But he sent he sent me a text, and I'm
and I'm with him on this. Uh, you know, the
NHL draft. The balls were picked yesterday to see who
picks first in the NHL draft, and and I'm watching it,
you know, like an idiot.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
I'm looking at it.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I'm looking at it, going, yeah, I hope the Kings,
you know, do well in the draft. And then he
sent me this note, which is great. He said, he said,
I want to live in a world where I don't
have to watch the draft lottery because my team is
actually good. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's such a great comment.
And I was going to go to the NHL draft.
But the NHL draft is filled with losers. Everybody's a
(29:43):
loser there. The general managers are all there because they're
they're team sucks. The players who all show up, they're
uncrappy teams. The fans that show up haven't had a
Stanley Cup in decades. It's a loser fest. When you
go to any of these drafts, NHL, NFL, sure, baseball, basketball,
it's three d house of losers in a big auditorium
(30:06):
trying to get better.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Well, because the best draft picks go to the teams
with the worst record.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That's right, That's exactly right. So the good teams never
look at the draft. They don't care. When's the last
time a Kansas City Chiefs fan looked at the draft?
For Boston fan, you looked at the draft, they never
looked at it.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Well, they look at it a different way anyway. For sure,
they don't look at it.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
They don't look at They look at championship rings is
what they look at.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
I'll tell you what I liked, and I again, I
don't know the losers. The Houston Rockets last night played
the Denver Nuggets, and I watched that game. I did too,
and Houston was ahead by a dozen fifteen eighteen. You
told me at one point when I tuned in, it
was like about a dozen points, and I thought I
almost turned it off. I don't know, this is not
really much of anything. But I'm watching, watching, watching, and
(30:50):
of course I'm always rooting for the underdogs team that's
down twelve, I'm always rooting for I do the same thing.
I go back and forth. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And
it was the most remarkable thing.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
And then to watch the Celtics get beat in the
last second by New York was awesome, unreal. I hate
the Celtics. It was great. But here's a here's a
quick question quiz for you. Then we got to take
a break. There's only one player who's ever been drafted
in the NHL. Okay, listen to this at home if
you like sports. There's only one person in the history
of the NHL, the National Hockey League who's ever been
(31:23):
drafted number one and never played a single game in
the National Hockey League. Which team you think made that
that pick?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Wow? Top draft, top.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Draft, choy played, never played one game, and there's only
one person ever to do this.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Wow, that's a great trivia question.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I'll cut I'll save you the suspense. Your Los Angeles
Kings nineteen sixty seven and who wasn't drafted a guy
I can't remember his name is Burghetti or something. He
just sucks and so he went never played one game, ever,
played a single game in the National Hockey League.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
They draft him and he never played on the ice.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
It's the only guy ever, wow, the only top choice
ever to play in the National Hockey League drafted number one,
never played a single puck than the National High tru
Rick peg Nutty is his name, Rick peg Nutty, number
one Los Angeles Kings come out of Canada. Didn't play
(32:27):
a single second in the NHL. That and that's the
King's only number one pick in the last sixty five years.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
It's got to be more to that story.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
So the Kings man there jaked chinked, all right? Relyve
on sixty.
