Wegovy is in the legal spotlight as lawsuits target “copycat” versions of the blockbuster drug — and we dig into how some medications become famous for side effects, like Viagra. (Spoiler: it was originally developed as a heart medication to treat chest pain/angina before its unexpected “other” effect changed everything.
Then, we break down why the Super Bowl is still the most-watched, biggest revenue machine in American sports — and what makes it unmatched as an event.
Plus, Super Bowl 60 security ramps up to a whole new level: a massive, coordinated operation with dozens of agencies working together and staying on high alert.
And a fun SoCal tie-in: Seahawks QB Sam Darnold has roots in Capistrano Beach, California — and we talk about the local angle heading into the big game.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF I am six and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
we've got a law suit. Oh, by the way, our
favorite guest, one of our favorite guests, is coming on
at six o'clock tonight. Petros papadagis from the Petros and
Money Show. He's great. Everybody says the same thing about
(00:24):
him when he's on that he's the funniest guy in radio,
and his references are better than anybody else in radio.
Those are the two things they always say about him.
He's super smart, yes, smart, great references, and a very
funny dude. And he's coming on with us. I enjoy
that every Friday at six, I believe. Isn't that correct?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, we shoot for it, Yes, I'm try.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Okay, all right, we'll go. The is in a lawsuit.
They are suing all of these copycat versions of this
weight loss drug. So well, if you're on one of
these copycats, you might be changing eventually to wellgovy And
I don't know why you'd be on a copycat. Maybe
it's a money issue, but you want to get top
(01:11):
shelf when it comes to injecting your body because that's
how it works. I think you take the injection and
you stick it in your stomach or your leg and
then the weight falls off. But I wouldn't put one
of these second rate jobs in your stomach. I'd go
top shelf if you can, or maybe save a little
(01:31):
money and then do it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Didn't well Govy come out with a pill version.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Oh they did? Yeah? Wow. You know what's really going
to hurt of these Lane Brian stores because eventually no
one will be huge. Everyone will be you know, moderately,
you know, in the in a ballpark.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Maybe they can change their fashion.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Isn't lane Brian? Isn't that the high end of a
plus O plus size? You wanted to cut that off
right before it went with the is of fun, But
it is. It is for big band, big bone.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Gals, plus size, plus size, high end though.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Very good.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Nice for was that.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Didn't Forever twenty one Tons go out of sale out
of business?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
No, no, no no, they had a there was Forever twenty
one was a store. Yes, it was very fashionable. Went
out of business, but they they had a plus size
store also, I think went out of business. I was
get in trouble. I always get Tons of men. He
(02:39):
doesn't want to go there anymore. I love when I
started seeing the small cos you like, Yeah, it was
forever to twenty one and they went south. But there
are some high end stores that sell clothes for big
bone gals, and they are going to be hurting because
(03:01):
everybody who can afford it, you know, if you can
afford high end close, you can afford the shot. And
there's gonna be massive amounts of weight that'll be lost.
Which I don't know if this is true or not,
but I've heard that this might trigger the Big One,
you know, because we have a certain amount of weight
(03:22):
that we're keeping in California and we're suppressing the state,
and we're keeping it from the big one. And when
we get lighter as a state by trillions of pounds,
it might cause the Big One. Hmmm. I don't know
if doctor Lucy Jones told me that. I don't know.
I don't have to look back at my notes, but
(03:44):
that's a good theory. I think that, you know, Look,
I think there's something to that. Anyway. We Goovy is
in a lawsuit with these cheaper knockoffs.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Drug Wars, the maker of agovie vowing legal action over
a copycat version of the popular drug. Sephanie Ramos is
here with Morgan Morning, Stephanie Warning Rachel. Telehealth provider Hymns
and Hers is announcing it will offer its own version
if we go these once daily pill for just forty
nine dollars for the first month.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
That's one hundred dollars less than Nover notrice official FDA
approved version, which launched last month.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I mean, why wouldn't you take the pill if you
had an option of the syringe and the injection or
the pill, why wouldn't you take the pill?
Speaker 7 (04:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I think the pill just came out though.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Oh so if you were on the injection, you have
to stay on the injection or can you transfer over
to the pill.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Basically I don't know enough about that.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So like you it. Do you have dogs? Right?
Speaker 8 (04:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
When you change miss birthday? Oh happy birthday to Moose. Yes,
I love when people know they're dogs. Birthdays very important.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Happy birthday, Moosy.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
But when you change the dog's diet, you've got to
do it slowly, oh, yes, or else you're going to
be cleaning.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Just found that out, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I also found out when I changed I recently tried
to change beers, and I have add a hangover for
two days, and I think I gotta do the same
thing with dog food. I gotta slowly change beers. I
don't think you can go right away. Yeah, I think
it's the thing. Yeah, it's the thing. Yeah, I think
it is. Or else, I you know, it was just
bad beer.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I don't know. I don't know, Bob. When you change
a dog's diet, if you do it in one day,
you are going to have to clean the house. A
carpet cleaner is part of your future.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Novo promising legal action, though saying in a statement, this
is another example of Hymns and hers historic behavior of
duping the American public with knockoff GLP one products, and
the FDA has previously warned them about their deceptive advertising
of GLP one knockoffs. Hymns and Hers firing back, they
say this is not the first time, nor will it
(05:44):
be the last time a big pharma company has suggested
taking an accessible customer first approach to healthcare is dangerous, illegal,
or bad for the marketplace. Novo holds the patent on
we go VI and goes through rich Ode.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I didn't know there was a Novo drug Novo asgov
I didn't know that.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
No Vo holds the patent on we Govi and goes
through rigorous FDA scrutiny for safety and effectiveness. But hims
and Hers says.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It wasn't this, It wasn't Mogovi designed and created for
something else. And then a side effect was weight loss.
I think that's true.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I believe that's true. I think it's been around for
a while.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah. It's like uh, diabetes yea for diabetes yeah, and
I and then all of a sudden people are losing weight.
And then now it's a big weight loss, much more
than it is for you know, diabetics. But it's it's
sort of like you know those those pills for men
that you know, a little blue ones, blue ones, Yeah,
(06:39):
and and that was design those pills were designed for
heart problems. And then one of the side effects. Yeah,
well one of the side of all those drugs. One
of the side effects was.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You know, m memory loss.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You knows, erections ahoy? I think is what they is
what they refer to it as, and it's a clinical term, yes,
erections ahoy. And you know they say in those packages,
if you take one of those you know, those those
(07:18):
drugs that help you achieve that. If it's for if
you're in that state for more than four hours, you've
got to call the emergency room. Do you think how
many guys I you know, are like four hours? Hey, honey,
let's give it another two weeks. There's a there's there's
a huge show right now. It's in its second season.
They're about halfway through it now in the second season.
Speaker 9 (07:38):
The Pit on HBO very sort of er like a
lot of medical it's a it's a the emergency room
in Pittsburgh. And one of the I think it was
the last episode, there was a guy who was on
his anniversary with his wife and took two and he
ended up in the emergency room because it was not
going anywhere after like eight ten hours really, and they
(08:00):
showed it is that right, And then they showed how
they dealt with it.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh my god, an injection syringeine pulled out fluid. Hey mom,
I'm on TV Friday. Yeah, yeah, that guy. That show
is very UFA. How about the call back to uh,
you know, Cleveland. Hey, mom and dad, I'm on the
I'm on TV. You're gonna love As a matter of fact, Dad.
I mean, Mom, you guys shouldn't watch this episode, but
I think that you know, they say, after four hours
(08:27):
call go to the emergency room. I can't imagine there's
a guy with a stopwatch and he hits it the
emergency room exactly at four hours. He's got to give
it another like six months before he slides in there.
I mean, how do you explain that to somebody? You know?
I mean, I don't know how you do that. I
guess I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Anyway, Viagra was initially designed to treat angina?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Is that right?
Speaker 8 (08:53):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Okay, so it was for that? Then, yeah, missed.
Speaker 10 (08:58):
You did it?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Chesspain caused by high blood pressure?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Oh? How you Jina?
Speaker 11 (09:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Giant horrible headphones in here? Petrose is coming up at
six bells. That guy's great. We'll have a great hour
with Petros. May we'll talk a little super Bowl with
that dude.
Speaker 12 (09:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
All right, if you want to go to the super Bowl,
you have to have tickets. You could make that drive
in one day. If you left here Sunday morning at
eight o'clock, you could casually drive up to San Francisco
or San Jose or Santa Clara where the stadium is
and make it in time for the game. If you
left at eight o'clock, you could easily get there by
(09:45):
three thirty, unless there's traffic, which is a huge possibility,
especially coming home on that five Freeway tomorrow night. Ooh boy,
it's gonna be rough. By the business of the super Bowl,
the tickets, how are the tickets sales, what's going to
cost you? And other surrounding areas hotel, food, whole run.
Speaker 13 (10:06):
The Super Bowl isn't just the most watched sporting event
in America, it's also the highest revenue generating media asset
in all of television.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Wah, how about that last.
Speaker 13 (10:17):
Year's game attracted more than one hundred and twenty seven
million viewers, breaking its own record set just one year prior. Nationwide,
viewers of this year's Super Bowl are expected to spend
a whopping twenty point two billion dollars around festivities for
the Big Game.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
This is appointment viewing, and everybody does it.
Speaker 13 (10:36):
When it comes to the actual event, The super Bowl
itself brings in tens of thousands of people to its
host cities every year, culminating in hundreds of millions of
dollars pumped into the local economies. But what about the NFL.
Speaker 14 (10:50):
They raise hundreds or millions of dollars, Plus they get
a good part of their television contract money because of
the Super Bowl, and so it goes into billions of dollars.
Speaker 13 (11:00):
So how does the Super Bowl itself actually make money?
And who really benefits from football's biggest night. There are
several direct revenue lines for the NFL, including to ticket
sales and sponsorships. In the twenty twenty four season, sponsorships
alone made up about ten percent of the NFL's twenty
two billion dollars in revenue.
Speaker 10 (11:20):
Corporations put down a great deal of money. And one
of the things that corporations get in addition to advertise
and promotion of their products is they get access to
the NFL.
Speaker 13 (11:29):
Apple pays the NFL fifty million dollars every year to
sponsor the halftime show.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Is that amazing? Just the halftime show. Apple's paying fifty
million dollars And it's worth it, you know, for fifty
million dollars to get one hundred and twenty seven million
people viewing it, it's got to be worth it.
Speaker 13 (11:49):
Apple pays the NFL fifty million dollars every year to
sponsor the halftime show. That's money that goes directly into
the NFL's pocket. But the biggest direct money maker for
the actual game is ticketing and hospitality. Starting ticket prices
for Super Bowl sixty are currently around six thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Oh my god, that's incredible, with.
Speaker 13 (12:10):
Premium tickets priced in excess of fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 10 (12:14):
They sell luxury suites Levi Stadium powers. I think it's
one hundred and seventy a luxury suite, and they sell
those for an average price probably one point four million dollars.
Session another two hundred and twenty million dollars in revenue.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Where is that money coming from. Who is spending a
million and a half dollars for ten seats in a box?
Chicken Han, The wealthy people have a lot of money
in this country.
Speaker 10 (12:37):
Tickets and luxury boxes together, you're probably looking at.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Close to four hundred million dollars in revenue, and there's
very little overhead for the NFL When it comes to
things like infrastructure, security, transportation, usually the host city absorbs
those costs.
Speaker 10 (12:53):
You don't automatically get an uncreased in tourism because you're
host to Super Bowl. It's possible that normal visitors, normal
tourists will stay away from a host city with the
expectation that it's a bad time to visit.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
But yeah, because hotel rooms are eight thousand dollars a night,
of course it is.
Speaker 13 (13:10):
But the biggest revenue source for the NFL is its
media contracts. The NFL's current broadcasting agreements.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Oh, this has got to be huge. The TV contract
for the NFL. I can't imagine what this costs.
Speaker 13 (13:22):
Are worth more than one hundred and ten billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Wow, one hundred and ten billion dollars for the TV
contracts that's unheard of.
Speaker 13 (13:34):
Are worth more than one hundred and ten billion dollars
over an eleven year period. That's approximately ten billion dollars
every year. ESPN alone pays the NFL two point seven
billion dollars annually for broadcasting rights.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
But what if that's a check? You know, if the NFL
gets a check in the mail for two point seven
billion dollars or is that at a wired transfer? How
does that work? They bring a bruy I.
Speaker 13 (14:00):
Don't know for Monday night football and two Super Bowls
next seasons and the twenty thirty game. To put that
number into perspective, ESPN's parent company, Disney, bought Marvel Studios
in two thousand and nine for four billion dollars or
around six point one billion dollars today, meaning in just
three years, Disney will give the NFL more money than
(14:21):
it paid for all of Marvel Studios.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
That's unreal, that's incredible. I mean, and obviously it works
for them, or else they wouldn't do it now.
Speaker 13 (14:29):
Current media contracts are good until twenty thirty three, but
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said the league could renegotiate
those deals as early as this coming year, meaning the
NFL could see even more money for media companies in
the coming years.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
The advertising basically goes to the network that's carrying.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Well, you know what this means, and this is going
to happen one hundred percent sure that's going to happen
because the NFL wants more money and there's a limit
to how much advertising can sell on broadcas TV. You
just don't have, you know, enough time a lot of
these games. I would say in five, six, maybe ten years,
(15:09):
every NFL game will be on a subscriber. It'll be
on a subscription, it'll be on a streamer every NFL game.
No more will you have these free games. And it sucks,
but you're gonna go anyway because you have to watch
the games.
Speaker 10 (15:24):
The NFL gets a little bit of advertising revenue.
Speaker 13 (15:27):
This year on average a thirty second Super Bowl, and
you know what.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
They're slowly massaging us and slowly getting us into that,
like you know, like they'll have five or six games
a year on Amazon the first year, and then last
year it was twelve, and next year it's gonna be
twenty five. Then it'll be fifty, that'll be one hundred,
then every game will be on streaming.
Speaker 13 (15:49):
Costs about eight million dollars, and NBC ad chief Mark
Marshall told me about five.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Wait wait what costs eight million dollars this year?
Speaker 13 (15:56):
On average, a thirty second Super Bowl as okay, costs
about eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Thirty seconds eight million dollars, and.
Speaker 13 (16:03):
NBC ad chief Mark Marshall told me about five to
ten of those advertisements actually costs more than ten million
dollars this year. That's a price many advertisers are still
willing to pay. Fox saw record eight hundred million dollars
in advertising revenue for Super Bowl fifty nine last year.
Beyond the stadium, there's an entire secondary economy connected to
(16:24):
the Super Bowl in terms of merchandise, licensing and international
broadcast revenue.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
We're all throwing money at this game. We all do it.
We all buy the jerseys, the tickets, the uh you know,
we watch, we visit the advertisers, We get the streaming,
we get the NFL package, we get the red zone,
we get all that stuff because we can't stop watching
these games. It is one hundred and it has to
(16:51):
do with how great these athletes are and you're rooting
for your team and you're depressed out of your mind
when they lose. We have a lot invested in this
in in the NFL, and when your team wins the
Super Bowl, there's nothing like that. Man, it's great. And
we'll all spend whatever it costs. We don't care. We'll
keep spending.
Speaker 12 (17:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
The number one restaurant in Los Angeles for celebrity for
celebrities over the last ten years has been a restaurant
called Craigs and there's been a lot of restaurants that
have tried to attack them and get all the celebrities
to go to their restaurant, and it doesn't work. And
the reason why is a couple reasons. One is the
(17:39):
location of Craigs. It's on Melrose There, great location in
West Hollywood. The guy who owns it is one of
the greatest, coolest dudes I've I think I've ever met
in my life. And the food is spectacular and it's got
a nice home feeling. Telling of your been to Craigs.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I have not.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I would like would you like to? Okay, I'll take it,
you will, yeah? Maybe? Or maybe there's an Arby's out
here that's a lot like Craigs. Maybe I'll take you there,
sit there and have Arby's or something.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I'd go there. That's fine.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
But I was there once with Mark Thompson and at Arms.
No no, no, no, no, no, he's not an Arby's fan.
I was at Craigs. They got the meat man and
he had just come back from vacationing and he was
telling one of the hostesses there or waiters that he
was in Vietnam. And I said, buddy, I said, you
(18:40):
have to say you vacationed in Vietnam. You can't say
I was in Vietnam. Well, they know what I meant.
You know, of course I wasn't there. I respect the military,
you know that. But if you ever vacation in Vietnam,
when you come back, you have to say I was
vacationing in Vieta. No, you can't say I was in Vietnam.
(19:03):
I was in Nom You weren't. You weren't. And it
sounds off tone. It's really it's strange. It's strange, and
I think I straightened them out on that. All right,
let's talk about the security for the Super Bowl. It
is going to be the most secure area in the
world on Sunday. There won't be another area, even Fort
(19:25):
Knox or the White House won't be this secure.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
As you get close to this rule, you can feel
security ramping up around town.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
And that's on purpose.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
More than thirty five agencies, state, moudral local working together here.
It's been an eighteen month effort to be ready for Sunday.
Five hundred feet above Levi Stadium, this is law enforcement's
bird's eye view. Customs and Border Protection aviation agents will
be circling Super Bowl sixty looking for signs of trouble.
Speaker 15 (19:52):
What's the biggest thing you're watching out for from the air?
Speaker 11 (19:55):
Any type of.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Threats, A holes, huge a holes, any type.
Speaker 11 (19:58):
Of threats and a whole any type of a holes,
any type of mischief makers, any type of violent acts
or suspicious activity going on.
Speaker 15 (20:10):
Being up in the air gives you that eye in
the sky and also the ability to send live video
back to the command centers so responders on the ground
know what they're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
You know, these guys in the thirty five agencies that
will be protecting Levi Stadium, they can not rest until
the Super Bowl is over. Every one of them has
to be on pins and needles thinking that something is
going to happen, and they all have to be have
to bring their a game with them that day, all
(20:39):
of them, every single person, including those dogs, the bomb
sniffing dogs. Everybody has got the alert. Yes, high alert,
high alerts. I'm staying on high alerts.
Speaker 15 (20:51):
Thousands of local, state, and federal first responders are working
around the clock to make the Super Bowl one of
the most secure events of the year. From the area
around the stadium in Santa Clara, events in San Jose
and the NFL's Super Bowl experience in downtown San Francisco,
nearly fifty miles away.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I didn't know if Santa Clair was fifty miles from
San Francisco. I thought it was like ten or fifteen
fifty miles a long way.
Speaker 15 (21:15):
It's a huge footprint that includes barricades, bomb sniffing dogs,
and lots of security checkpoints. Former Washington, d C. Police
Chief Kathy Lanier is the head of NFL Security.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Any concerns about the potential of any credible threats against
the Super Bowl this year, No.
Speaker 16 (21:30):
We've had no credible or specific threats whatsoever. So nothing
on our radio or feeling really going good going unto
this period.
Speaker 15 (21:38):
The Department of Homeland Sec.
Speaker 16 (21:39):
I would temper that on our radio, are feeling really
going good going unto this period.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I like the you know, the positive vibe there in
the confidence, but I'd hold back on that.
Speaker 15 (21:49):
The Department of Homeland Security will be sending hundreds of
officers and agents, but the NFL says ICE will not
be among them, specially Agent Jeff Branigan is the DHS
Federal Coordinator.
Speaker 17 (21:59):
Federal law enforcement footprint for Super Bowl sixty is consistent
with what it has been in years past.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
Will ICE or any immigration enforcement have a role as
part of the federal footprint.
Speaker 17 (22:11):
Here, DHS law enforcement at large is participating in supporting
the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Well, that's half ass answer.
Speaker 17 (22:20):
I guess the focus of DHS law enforcement at the
super Bowl is safety and security.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
Does that mean we aren't going to see things like
what people have seen on the TV happening in other cities?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
That's right, That's exactly right again, DHS lawn answering.
Speaker 17 (22:35):
Again, DHS law enforcement and the broader federal law enforcement
community is here to support the security and safety plans
of the cities. That is the sole and strict focus
of our responsibilities around.
Speaker 15 (22:47):
The super Bowl. Fighter jets and these Blackhawk helicopters will
help enforce and no fly zone over the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Is that wild? They're going to have fighter jets and
they're going to be sitting A friend of mine familiar
with this, they'll be sitting like eighteen or sixteen to
twenty thousand feet above the stadiums. You couldn't hear them,
but they'll be flying around the entire day around that stadium.
And then they'll be either replaced by new ones or refueled,
(23:13):
but they'll be up there all day. Fighter jets over the.
Speaker 15 (23:17):
Stadium restrictions that also apply to drones.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Is there something that's keeping you up at night.
Speaker 17 (23:21):
We're always concerned about cyber threats. We're always concerned about
wolf factors.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
Now when it comes to drones. While they wouldn't speak specifically,
it does sound like there are countermeasures in place. They
know the world is watching. And every law enforcement officer
we talked to, from chiefs down to officers in the
field told us the same thing.
Speaker 18 (23:40):
We're ready, Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 14 (23:42):
I know Super Bowl cities that are coming up are
paying attention to what the Bay Area is doing right now.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
It's a shame we live like this. It's a shame
it didn't happen when I was a kid. There was
a couple of cops at the stadium when I went
to the Super Bowl it was the Raiders versus the
Vikings seventy three, I believe maybe somewhere around there, and
there were very few cops around. Secret Service wasn't there,
(24:07):
and there was no you know, huge presence by the
federal you know, DHS even didn't even exist back then.
But everybody was cool, everybody was casual. Everybody just went
to the game and nobody threatened to blow the stadium up.
And now we all live like we're prisoners. We all
have you know, bars on our windows, on our doors,
and we live like we're in prison because of a holes,
(24:31):
a lot of a holes.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI.
Speaker 15 (24:37):
Am si.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Well patros is coming on at six bells. We'll talk
a little bit about Super Bowl and other topics. He
likes to do news. He's a news junkie like I am.
So that's gonna be at six bells. That'll be cool.
Sam Darnold is the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks and
(25:00):
he's been on many teams. He was on the Jets.
I think he was on Minnesota, I want to say
Washington or I don't know. He's been all over the place.
And now he if the Francisco. Oh, San Francisco, yeah, yeah, yeah,
s Francisco. I don't think he was ever Washington, but
he wasn't, Okay, And if he wins the Super Bowl,
(25:20):
he will be the first quarterback that came out of
USC to win a Super Bowl. Figure that's unbelievable. I
guess they haven't had much luck, not as a starter anyways.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
I think Rodney Peat played for the Cowboys when they won.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
That's incredible. He didn't start. But you know all those
great quarterbacks coming out of USC and none of them
have won a Super Bowl. Outrageous. But Sam Donald's a
local kid, and there's gonna be Sam Donald Day. I
think that was today and let's find out where that is.
Dig dog with this guy.
Speaker 19 (25:55):
Students at Palisades Elementary School in Capistrano Beach couldn't be
more excited to celebrate one of their own. Yeah, sporting
blue wind green for the Seahawks. There's no question which
team these kids are rooting for, and no question for who.
On Super Bowl Sunday, they'll be cheering loudest for Sam Donald,
whose sports ability made him stand out even on this playground.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
So this is the elementary school that he went to.
But Sam Donald didn't even play high school quarterback. He
was a tailback running back and didn't play quarterback until
like I don't know, like five games before his high
school career was over. Late bloomer in the quarterback position.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
San Clemente High School.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Sant Clementi High School. Oh yeah, DG Dog Belly, Oh
thank you, Yeah, you're welcome.
Speaker 19 (26:42):
And at San Clemente High School, where his former football
coach says, Donald dominated on the fields, star.
Speaker 18 (26:49):
Dynamic player on the football field, on the basketball court,
one of better athletes to come out of southern California.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
And it sounds like this sounds exactly like coach O'Hara
in Birmingham talking about me. Listen to this again. This
sounds like coach O'Hara at Birmingham High School talking about
me back in the late seventies, early eighties.
Speaker 20 (27:07):
Dominated on the fields, just.
Speaker 18 (27:09):
That dynamic player on the football field, on the basketball court,
and one of better athletes to come out of southern
California and really represent his town and a school and
Palisades and everything that stands for anything.
Speaker 20 (27:21):
Marita Burn's son is Donald?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Support was he talking about?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I was on the diving team. And you know, one
of the things that initially soured my relationship with my
mother in law is she was she was living up
in a small town in Washington called Longview, Washington, and
she went to the local paper saying that her daughter,
(27:47):
Jennifer Clark, from Longview area is marrying Tim Conway's kid
and they wanted to do a story about it. So
I got a call from the Long Beach newspaper saying, hey,
can we you got five minutes we can interview you
to be in the Long Beach Newspaper, local newspaper up
in Longview, Washington. I said yeah, sure, and then everything
(28:10):
I told them was a lie. I told them that
I started quarterback for u c.
Speaker 14 (28:15):
L A.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I went to the Rose Bowl twice, and it's all crap.
They could have looked up and they didn't, and they
printed the whole article. My mother in law got so
pissed because they are now all calling, well, I don't
know your son in law played the you know, started
for UCLA and went to two rose balls, and she's like, no,
(28:36):
he didn't do that. I have the article. I'll bring
it in one day. Yes, it's kind of crazy that
that we got off to the we got off to
a but rough start.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
After that soured your relationship with her.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
One of the things.
Speaker 19 (28:55):
Marita Burn's son is Donald's childhood friend. She's also Donald's
four more teacher.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
I mean, just just kind of surreal because just to
know someone personally that's in the Super Bowl. Is that
has you know been at this school, played on this playground,
sat in these classrooms.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
That's a really cool deal. A local kid, you know,
going to be starting quarterback for a team that's favored
in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 19 (29:21):
Those who follow his football careers say Donald's journey to
the Big Show is the perfect inspiration for the theme
of Sam Darnald Day.
Speaker 20 (29:30):
Never ever give up.
Speaker 18 (29:32):
You know, that was one of his goals when he
was entered Sanctenty High School. He put down on paper,
I want to play in the NFL one day. And
I think for him to have this opportunity, it shows
a lot of perseverance, a lot of hard work and
dedication and great everything he's been through. I just you know,
seeing a kitler about their dream.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
I'm almost sixty and I've spent thirty years of them
here and to see kids come and go and all
of them are very special. And Sam has worked so
hard and he's such a good he's such a great
young man.
Speaker 20 (30:04):
Good luck, player, best and just know that the whole
town is behind you. Petty Chang, NBC four News.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
It's a great story. It's a great story. Guys kicking
ass and he's favorite four and a half point favorite
to win the Super Bowl. I put some money on
the Patriots, not a lot, just enough to make it
interesting so you know what to do. Load up on Seattle.
I always get that wrong. If you have a house,
(30:35):
I would think about possibly taking out a heat lock
and throwing it on Seattle. I always am on the
losing end of the Super Bowl bets, always, so I'm
not telling you to bet, but I'm telling you if
you want a hazard part of your paycheck on the
outcome of a certain event, bet the opposite of me,
(30:59):
because I'm a loser. See you have losers. We got
another one coming up at six. Relyve on KFI six
forty
It's KMF I am six and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
we've got a law suit. Oh, by the way, our
favorite guest, one of our favorite guests, is coming on
at six o'clock tonight. Petros papadagis from the Petros and
Money Show. He's great. Everybody says the same thing about
(00:24):
him when he's on that he's the funniest guy in radio,
and his references are better than anybody else in radio.
Those are the two things they always say about him.
He's super smart, yes, smart, great references, and a very
funny dude. And he's coming on with us. I enjoy
that every Friday at six, I believe. Isn't that correct?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, we shoot for it, Yes, I'm try.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Okay, all right, we'll go. The is in a lawsuit.
They are suing all of these copycat versions of this
weight loss drug. So well, if you're on one of
these copycats, you might be changing eventually to wellgovy And
I don't know why you'd be on a copycat. Maybe
it's a money issue, but you want to get top
(01:11):
shelf when it comes to injecting your body because that's
how it works. I think you take the injection and
you stick it in your stomach or your leg and
then the weight falls off. But I wouldn't put one
of these second rate jobs in your stomach. I'd go
top shelf if you can, or maybe save a little
(01:31):
money and then do it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Didn't well Govy come out with a pill version.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Oh they did? Yeah? Wow. You know what's really going
to hurt of these Lane Brian stores because eventually no
one will be huge. Everyone will be you know, moderately,
you know, in the in a ballpark.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Maybe they can change their fashion.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Isn't lane Brian? Isn't that the high end of a
plus O plus size? You wanted to cut that off
right before it went with the is of fun, But
it is. It is for big band, big bone.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Gals, plus size, plus size, high end though.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Very good.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Nice for was that.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Didn't Forever twenty one Tons go out of sale out
of business?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
No, no, no no, they had a there was Forever twenty
one was a store. Yes, it was very fashionable. Went
out of business, but they they had a plus size
store also, I think went out of business. I was
get in trouble. I always get Tons of men. He
(02:39):
doesn't want to go there anymore. I love when I
started seeing the small cos you like, Yeah, it was
forever to twenty one and they went south. But there
are some high end stores that sell clothes for big
bone gals, and they are going to be hurting because
(03:01):
everybody who can afford it, you know, if you can
afford high end close, you can afford the shot. And
there's gonna be massive amounts of weight that'll be lost.
Which I don't know if this is true or not,
but I've heard that this might trigger the Big One,
you know, because we have a certain amount of weight
(03:22):
that we're keeping in California and we're suppressing the state,
and we're keeping it from the big one. And when
we get lighter as a state by trillions of pounds,
it might cause the Big One. Hmmm. I don't know
if doctor Lucy Jones told me that. I don't know.
I don't have to look back at my notes, but
(03:44):
that's a good theory. I think that, you know, Look,
I think there's something to that. Anyway. We Goovy is
in a lawsuit with these cheaper knockoffs.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Drug Wars, the maker of agovie vowing legal action over
a copycat version of the popular drug. Sephanie Ramos is
here with Morgan Morning, Stephanie Warning Rachel. Telehealth provider Hymns
and Hers is announcing it will offer its own version
if we go these once daily pill for just forty
nine dollars for the first month.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
That's one hundred dollars less than Nover notrice official FDA
approved version, which launched last month.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I mean, why wouldn't you take the pill if you
had an option of the syringe and the injection or
the pill, why wouldn't you take the pill?
Speaker 7 (04:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I think the pill just came out though.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Oh so if you were on the injection, you have
to stay on the injection or can you transfer over
to the pill.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Basically I don't know enough about that.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So like you it. Do you have dogs? Right?
Speaker 8 (04:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
When you change miss birthday? Oh happy birthday to Moose. Yes,
I love when people know they're dogs. Birthdays very important.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Happy birthday, Moosy.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
But when you change the dog's diet, you've got to
do it slowly, oh, yes, or else you're going to
be cleaning.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Just found that out, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I also found out when I changed I recently tried
to change beers, and I have add a hangover for
two days, and I think I gotta do the same
thing with dog food. I gotta slowly change beers. I
don't think you can go right away. Yeah, I think
it's the thing. Yeah, it's the thing. Yeah, I think
it is. Or else, I you know, it was just
bad beer.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I don't know. I don't know, Bob. When you change
a dog's diet, if you do it in one day,
you are going to have to clean the house. A
carpet cleaner is part of your future.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Novo promising legal action, though saying in a statement, this
is another example of Hymns and hers historic behavior of
duping the American public with knockoff GLP one products, and
the FDA has previously warned them about their deceptive advertising
of GLP one knockoffs. Hymns and Hers firing back, they
say this is not the first time, nor will it
(05:44):
be the last time a big pharma company has suggested
taking an accessible customer first approach to healthcare is dangerous, illegal,
or bad for the marketplace. Novo holds the patent on
we go VI and goes through rich Ode.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I didn't know there was a Novo drug Novo asgov
I didn't know that.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
No Vo holds the patent on we Govi and goes
through rigorous FDA scrutiny for safety and effectiveness. But hims
and Hers says.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It wasn't this, It wasn't Mogovi designed and created for
something else. And then a side effect was weight loss.
I think that's true.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I believe that's true. I think it's been around for
a while.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah. It's like uh, diabetes yea for diabetes yeah, and
I and then all of a sudden people are losing weight.
And then now it's a big weight loss, much more
than it is for you know, diabetics. But it's it's
sort of like you know those those pills for men
that you know, a little blue ones, blue ones, Yeah,
(06:39):
and and that was design those pills were designed for
heart problems. And then one of the side effects. Yeah,
well one of the side of all those drugs. One
of the side effects was.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You know, m memory loss.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You knows, erections ahoy? I think is what they is
what they refer to it as, and it's a clinical term, yes,
erections ahoy. And you know they say in those packages,
if you take one of those you know, those those
(07:18):
drugs that help you achieve that. If it's for if
you're in that state for more than four hours, you've
got to call the emergency room. Do you think how
many guys I you know, are like four hours? Hey, honey,
let's give it another two weeks. There's a there's there's
a huge show right now. It's in its second season.
They're about halfway through it now in the second season.
Speaker 9 (07:38):
The Pit on HBO very sort of er like a
lot of medical it's a it's a the emergency room
in Pittsburgh. And one of the I think it was
the last episode, there was a guy who was on
his anniversary with his wife and took two and he
ended up in the emergency room because it was not
going anywhere after like eight ten hours really, and they
(08:00):
showed it is that right, And then they showed how
they dealt with it.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh my god, an injection syringeine pulled out fluid. Hey mom,
I'm on TV Friday. Yeah, yeah, that guy. That show
is very UFA. How about the call back to uh,
you know, Cleveland. Hey, mom and dad, I'm on the
I'm on TV. You're gonna love As a matter of fact, Dad.
I mean, Mom, you guys shouldn't watch this episode, but
I think that you know, they say, after four hours
(08:27):
call go to the emergency room. I can't imagine there's
a guy with a stopwatch and he hits it the
emergency room exactly at four hours. He's got to give
it another like six months before he slides in there.
I mean, how do you explain that to somebody? You know?
I mean, I don't know how you do that. I
guess I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Anyway, Viagra was initially designed to treat angina?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Is that right?
Speaker 8 (08:53):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Okay, so it was for that? Then, yeah, missed.
Speaker 10 (08:58):
You did it?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Chesspain caused by high blood pressure?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Oh? How you Jina?
Speaker 11 (09:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Giant horrible headphones in here? Petrose is coming up at
six bells. That guy's great. We'll have a great hour
with Petros. May we'll talk a little super Bowl with
that dude.
Speaker 12 (09:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
All right, if you want to go to the super Bowl,
you have to have tickets. You could make that drive
in one day. If you left here Sunday morning at
eight o'clock, you could casually drive up to San Francisco
or San Jose or Santa Clara where the stadium is
and make it in time for the game. If you
left at eight o'clock, you could easily get there by
(09:45):
three thirty, unless there's traffic, which is a huge possibility,
especially coming home on that five Freeway tomorrow night. Ooh boy,
it's gonna be rough. By the business of the super Bowl,
the tickets, how are the tickets sales, what's going to
cost you? And other surrounding areas hotel, food, whole run.
Speaker 13 (10:06):
The Super Bowl isn't just the most watched sporting event
in America, it's also the highest revenue generating media asset
in all of television.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Wah, how about that last.
Speaker 13 (10:17):
Year's game attracted more than one hundred and twenty seven
million viewers, breaking its own record set just one year prior. Nationwide,
viewers of this year's Super Bowl are expected to spend
a whopping twenty point two billion dollars around festivities for
the Big Game.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
This is appointment viewing, and everybody does it.
Speaker 13 (10:36):
When it comes to the actual event, The super Bowl
itself brings in tens of thousands of people to its
host cities every year, culminating in hundreds of millions of
dollars pumped into the local economies. But what about the NFL.
Speaker 14 (10:50):
They raise hundreds or millions of dollars, Plus they get
a good part of their television contract money because of
the Super Bowl, and so it goes into billions of dollars.
Speaker 13 (11:00):
So how does the Super Bowl itself actually make money?
And who really benefits from football's biggest night. There are
several direct revenue lines for the NFL, including to ticket
sales and sponsorships. In the twenty twenty four season, sponsorships
alone made up about ten percent of the NFL's twenty
two billion dollars in revenue.
Speaker 10 (11:20):
Corporations put down a great deal of money. And one
of the things that corporations get in addition to advertise
and promotion of their products is they get access to
the NFL.
Speaker 13 (11:29):
Apple pays the NFL fifty million dollars every year to
sponsor the halftime show.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Is that amazing? Just the halftime show. Apple's paying fifty
million dollars And it's worth it, you know, for fifty
million dollars to get one hundred and twenty seven million
people viewing it, it's got to be worth it.
Speaker 13 (11:49):
Apple pays the NFL fifty million dollars every year to
sponsor the halftime show. That's money that goes directly into
the NFL's pocket. But the biggest direct money maker for
the actual game is ticketing and hospitality. Starting ticket prices
for Super Bowl sixty are currently around six thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Oh my god, that's incredible, with.
Speaker 13 (12:10):
Premium tickets priced in excess of fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 10 (12:14):
They sell luxury suites Levi Stadium powers. I think it's
one hundred and seventy a luxury suite, and they sell
those for an average price probably one point four million dollars.
Session another two hundred and twenty million dollars in revenue.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Where is that money coming from. Who is spending a
million and a half dollars for ten seats in a box?
Chicken Han, The wealthy people have a lot of money
in this country.
Speaker 10 (12:37):
Tickets and luxury boxes together, you're probably looking at.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Close to four hundred million dollars in revenue, and there's
very little overhead for the NFL When it comes to
things like infrastructure, security, transportation, usually the host city absorbs
those costs.
Speaker 10 (12:53):
You don't automatically get an uncreased in tourism because you're
host to Super Bowl. It's possible that normal visitors, normal
tourists will stay away from a host city with the
expectation that it's a bad time to visit.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
But yeah, because hotel rooms are eight thousand dollars a night,
of course it is.
Speaker 13 (13:10):
But the biggest revenue source for the NFL is its
media contracts. The NFL's current broadcasting agreements.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Oh, this has got to be huge. The TV contract
for the NFL. I can't imagine what this costs.
Speaker 13 (13:22):
Are worth more than one hundred and ten billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Wow, one hundred and ten billion dollars for the TV
contracts that's unheard of.
Speaker 13 (13:34):
Are worth more than one hundred and ten billion dollars
over an eleven year period. That's approximately ten billion dollars
every year. ESPN alone pays the NFL two point seven
billion dollars annually for broadcasting rights.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
But what if that's a check? You know, if the NFL
gets a check in the mail for two point seven
billion dollars or is that at a wired transfer? How
does that work? They bring a bruy I.
Speaker 13 (14:00):
Don't know for Monday night football and two Super Bowls
next seasons and the twenty thirty game. To put that
number into perspective, ESPN's parent company, Disney, bought Marvel Studios
in two thousand and nine for four billion dollars or
around six point one billion dollars today, meaning in just
three years, Disney will give the NFL more money than
(14:21):
it paid for all of Marvel Studios.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
That's unreal, that's incredible. I mean, and obviously it works
for them, or else they wouldn't do it now.
Speaker 13 (14:29):
Current media contracts are good until twenty thirty three, but
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said the league could renegotiate
those deals as early as this coming year, meaning the
NFL could see even more money for media companies in
the coming years.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
The advertising basically goes to the network that's carrying.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Well, you know what this means, and this is going
to happen one hundred percent sure that's going to happen
because the NFL wants more money and there's a limit
to how much advertising can sell on broadcas TV. You
just don't have, you know, enough time a lot of
these games. I would say in five, six, maybe ten years,
(15:09):
every NFL game will be on a subscriber. It'll be
on a subscription, it'll be on a streamer every NFL game.
No more will you have these free games. And it sucks,
but you're gonna go anyway because you have to watch
the games.
Speaker 10 (15:24):
The NFL gets a little bit of advertising revenue.
Speaker 13 (15:27):
This year on average a thirty second Super Bowl, and
you know what.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
They're slowly massaging us and slowly getting us into that,
like you know, like they'll have five or six games
a year on Amazon the first year, and then last
year it was twelve, and next year it's gonna be
twenty five. Then it'll be fifty, that'll be one hundred,
then every game will be on streaming.
Speaker 13 (15:49):
Costs about eight million dollars, and NBC ad chief Mark
Marshall told me about five.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Wait wait what costs eight million dollars this year?
Speaker 13 (15:56):
On average, a thirty second Super Bowl as okay, costs
about eight million dollars.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Thirty seconds eight million dollars, and.
Speaker 13 (16:03):
NBC ad chief Mark Marshall told me about five to
ten of those advertisements actually costs more than ten million
dollars this year. That's a price many advertisers are still
willing to pay. Fox saw record eight hundred million dollars
in advertising revenue for Super Bowl fifty nine last year.
Beyond the stadium, there's an entire secondary economy connected to
(16:24):
the Super Bowl in terms of merchandise, licensing and international
broadcast revenue.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
We're all throwing money at this game. We all do it.
We all buy the jerseys, the tickets, the uh you know,
we watch, we visit the advertisers, We get the streaming,
we get the NFL package, we get the red zone,
we get all that stuff because we can't stop watching
these games. It is one hundred and it has to
(16:51):
do with how great these athletes are and you're rooting
for your team and you're depressed out of your mind
when they lose. We have a lot invested in this
in in the NFL, and when your team wins the
Super Bowl, there's nothing like that. Man, it's great. And
we'll all spend whatever it costs. We don't care. We'll
keep spending.
Speaker 12 (17:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
The number one restaurant in Los Angeles for celebrity for
celebrities over the last ten years has been a restaurant
called Craigs and there's been a lot of restaurants that
have tried to attack them and get all the celebrities
to go to their restaurant, and it doesn't work. And
the reason why is a couple reasons. One is the
(17:39):
location of Craigs. It's on Melrose There, great location in
West Hollywood. The guy who owns it is one of
the greatest, coolest dudes I've I think I've ever met
in my life. And the food is spectacular and it's got
a nice home feeling. Telling of your been to Craigs.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I have not.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I would like would you like to? Okay, I'll take it,
you will, yeah? Maybe? Or maybe there's an Arby's out
here that's a lot like Craigs. Maybe I'll take you there,
sit there and have Arby's or something.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I'd go there. That's fine.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
But I was there once with Mark Thompson and at Arms.
No no, no, no, no, no, he's not an Arby's fan.
I was at Craigs. They got the meat man and
he had just come back from vacationing and he was
telling one of the hostesses there or waiters that he
was in Vietnam. And I said, buddy, I said, you
(18:40):
have to say you vacationed in Vietnam. You can't say
I was in Vietnam. Well, they know what I meant.
You know, of course I wasn't there. I respect the military,
you know that. But if you ever vacation in Vietnam,
when you come back, you have to say I was
vacationing in Vieta. No, you can't say I was in Vietnam.
(19:03):
I was in Nom You weren't. You weren't. And it
sounds off tone. It's really it's strange. It's strange, and
I think I straightened them out on that. All right,
let's talk about the security for the Super Bowl. It
is going to be the most secure area in the
world on Sunday. There won't be another area, even Fort
(19:25):
Knox or the White House won't be this secure.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
As you get close to this rule, you can feel
security ramping up around town.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
And that's on purpose.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
More than thirty five agencies, state, moudral local working together here.
It's been an eighteen month effort to be ready for Sunday.
Five hundred feet above Levi Stadium, this is law enforcement's
bird's eye view. Customs and Border Protection aviation agents will
be circling Super Bowl sixty looking for signs of trouble.
Speaker 15 (19:52):
What's the biggest thing you're watching out for from the air?
Speaker 11 (19:55):
Any type of.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Threats, A holes, huge a holes, any type.
Speaker 11 (19:58):
Of threats and a whole any type of a holes,
any type of mischief makers, any type of violent acts
or suspicious activity going on.
Speaker 15 (20:10):
Being up in the air gives you that eye in
the sky and also the ability to send live video
back to the command centers so responders on the ground
know what they're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
You know, these guys in the thirty five agencies that
will be protecting Levi Stadium, they can not rest until
the Super Bowl is over. Every one of them has
to be on pins and needles thinking that something is
going to happen, and they all have to be have
to bring their a game with them that day, all
(20:39):
of them, every single person, including those dogs, the bomb
sniffing dogs. Everybody has got the alert. Yes, high alert,
high alerts. I'm staying on high alerts.
Speaker 15 (20:51):
Thousands of local, state, and federal first responders are working
around the clock to make the Super Bowl one of
the most secure events of the year. From the area
around the stadium in Santa Clara, events in San Jose
and the NFL's Super Bowl experience in downtown San Francisco,
nearly fifty miles away.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I didn't know if Santa Clair was fifty miles from
San Francisco. I thought it was like ten or fifteen
fifty miles a long way.
Speaker 15 (21:15):
It's a huge footprint that includes barricades, bomb sniffing dogs,
and lots of security checkpoints. Former Washington, d C. Police
Chief Kathy Lanier is the head of NFL Security.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Any concerns about the potential of any credible threats against
the Super Bowl this year, No.
Speaker 16 (21:30):
We've had no credible or specific threats whatsoever. So nothing
on our radio or feeling really going good going unto
this period.
Speaker 15 (21:38):
The Department of Homeland Sec.
Speaker 16 (21:39):
I would temper that on our radio, are feeling really
going good going unto this period.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I like the you know, the positive vibe there in
the confidence, but I'd hold back on that.
Speaker 15 (21:49):
The Department of Homeland Security will be sending hundreds of
officers and agents, but the NFL says ICE will not
be among them, specially Agent Jeff Branigan is the DHS
Federal Coordinator.
Speaker 17 (21:59):
Federal law enforcement footprint for Super Bowl sixty is consistent
with what it has been in years past.
Speaker 8 (22:04):
Will ICE or any immigration enforcement have a role as
part of the federal footprint.
Speaker 17 (22:11):
Here, DHS law enforcement at large is participating in supporting
the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Well, that's half ass answer.
Speaker 17 (22:20):
I guess the focus of DHS law enforcement at the
super Bowl is safety and security.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
Does that mean we aren't going to see things like
what people have seen on the TV happening in other cities?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
That's right, That's exactly right again, DHS lawn answering.
Speaker 17 (22:35):
Again, DHS law enforcement and the broader federal law enforcement
community is here to support the security and safety plans
of the cities. That is the sole and strict focus
of our responsibilities around.
Speaker 15 (22:47):
The super Bowl. Fighter jets and these Blackhawk helicopters will
help enforce and no fly zone over the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Is that wild? They're going to have fighter jets and
they're going to be sitting A friend of mine familiar
with this, they'll be sitting like eighteen or sixteen to
twenty thousand feet above the stadiums. You couldn't hear them,
but they'll be flying around the entire day around that stadium.
And then they'll be either replaced by new ones or refueled,
(23:13):
but they'll be up there all day. Fighter jets over the.
Speaker 15 (23:17):
Stadium restrictions that also apply to drones.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Is there something that's keeping you up at night.
Speaker 17 (23:21):
We're always concerned about cyber threats. We're always concerned about
wolf factors.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
Now when it comes to drones. While they wouldn't speak specifically,
it does sound like there are countermeasures in place. They
know the world is watching. And every law enforcement officer
we talked to, from chiefs down to officers in the
field told us the same thing.
Speaker 18 (23:40):
We're ready, Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 14 (23:42):
I know Super Bowl cities that are coming up are
paying attention to what the Bay Area is doing right now.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
It's a shame we live like this. It's a shame
it didn't happen when I was a kid. There was
a couple of cops at the stadium when I went
to the Super Bowl it was the Raiders versus the
Vikings seventy three, I believe maybe somewhere around there, and
there were very few cops around. Secret Service wasn't there,
(24:07):
and there was no you know, huge presence by the
federal you know, DHS even didn't even exist back then.
But everybody was cool, everybody was casual. Everybody just went
to the game and nobody threatened to blow the stadium up.
And now we all live like we're prisoners. We all
have you know, bars on our windows, on our doors,
and we live like we're in prison because of a holes,
(24:31):
a lot of a holes.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI.
Speaker 15 (24:37):
Am si.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Well patros is coming on at six bells. We'll talk
a little bit about Super Bowl and other topics. He
likes to do news. He's a news junkie like I am.
So that's gonna be at six bells. That'll be cool.
Sam Darnold is the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks and
(25:00):
he's been on many teams. He was on the Jets.
I think he was on Minnesota, I want to say
Washington or I don't know. He's been all over the place.
And now he if the Francisco. Oh, San Francisco, yeah, yeah, yeah,
s Francisco. I don't think he was ever Washington, but
he wasn't, Okay, And if he wins the Super Bowl,
(25:20):
he will be the first quarterback that came out of
USC to win a Super Bowl. Figure that's unbelievable. I
guess they haven't had much luck, not as a starter anyways.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
I think Rodney Peat played for the Cowboys when they won.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
That's incredible. He didn't start. But you know all those
great quarterbacks coming out of USC and none of them
have won a Super Bowl. Outrageous. But Sam Donald's a
local kid, and there's gonna be Sam Donald Day. I
think that was today and let's find out where that is.
Dig dog with this guy.
Speaker 19 (25:55):
Students at Palisades Elementary School in Capistrano Beach couldn't be
more excited to celebrate one of their own. Yeah, sporting
blue wind green for the Seahawks. There's no question which
team these kids are rooting for, and no question for who.
On Super Bowl Sunday, they'll be cheering loudest for Sam Donald,
whose sports ability made him stand out even on this playground.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
So this is the elementary school that he went to.
But Sam Donald didn't even play high school quarterback. He
was a tailback running back and didn't play quarterback until
like I don't know, like five games before his high
school career was over. Late bloomer in the quarterback position.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
San Clemente High School.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Sant Clementi High School. Oh yeah, DG Dog Belly, Oh
thank you, Yeah, you're welcome.
Speaker 19 (26:42):
And at San Clemente High School, where his former football
coach says, Donald dominated on the fields, star.
Speaker 18 (26:49):
Dynamic player on the football field, on the basketball court,
one of better athletes to come out of southern California.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
And it sounds like this sounds exactly like coach O'Hara
in Birmingham talking about me. Listen to this again. This
sounds like coach O'Hara at Birmingham High School talking about
me back in the late seventies, early eighties.
Speaker 20 (27:07):
Dominated on the fields, just.
Speaker 18 (27:09):
That dynamic player on the football field, on the basketball court,
and one of better athletes to come out of southern
California and really represent his town and a school and
Palisades and everything that stands for anything.
Speaker 20 (27:21):
Marita Burn's son is Donald?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Support was he talking about?
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I was on the diving team. And you know, one
of the things that initially soured my relationship with my
mother in law is she was she was living up
in a small town in Washington called Longview, Washington, and
she went to the local paper saying that her daughter,
(27:47):
Jennifer Clark, from Longview area is marrying Tim Conway's kid
and they wanted to do a story about it. So
I got a call from the Long Beach newspaper saying, hey,
can we you got five minutes we can interview you
to be in the Long Beach Newspaper, local newspaper up
in Longview, Washington. I said yeah, sure, and then everything
(28:10):
I told them was a lie. I told them that
I started quarterback for u c.
Speaker 14 (28:15):
L A.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I went to the Rose Bowl twice, and it's all crap.
They could have looked up and they didn't, and they
printed the whole article. My mother in law got so
pissed because they are now all calling, well, I don't
know your son in law played the you know, started
for UCLA and went to two rose balls, and she's like, no,
(28:36):
he didn't do that. I have the article. I'll bring
it in one day. Yes, it's kind of crazy that
that we got off to the we got off to
a but rough start.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
After that soured your relationship with her.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
One of the things.
Speaker 19 (28:55):
Marita Burn's son is Donald's childhood friend. She's also Donald's
four more teacher.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
I mean, just just kind of surreal because just to
know someone personally that's in the Super Bowl. Is that
has you know been at this school, played on this playground,
sat in these classrooms.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
That's a really cool deal. A local kid, you know,
going to be starting quarterback for a team that's favored
in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 19 (29:21):
Those who follow his football careers say Donald's journey to
the Big Show is the perfect inspiration for the theme
of Sam Darnald Day.
Speaker 20 (29:30):
Never ever give up.
Speaker 18 (29:32):
You know, that was one of his goals when he
was entered Sanctenty High School. He put down on paper,
I want to play in the NFL one day. And
I think for him to have this opportunity, it shows
a lot of perseverance, a lot of hard work and
dedication and great everything he's been through. I just you know,
seeing a kitler about their dream.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
I'm almost sixty and I've spent thirty years of them
here and to see kids come and go and all
of them are very special. And Sam has worked so
hard and he's such a good he's such a great
young man.
Speaker 20 (30:04):
Good luck, player, best and just know that the whole
town is behind you. Petty Chang, NBC four News.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
It's a great story. It's a great story. Guys kicking
ass and he's favorite four and a half point favorite
to win the Super Bowl. I put some money on
the Patriots, not a lot, just enough to make it
interesting so you know what to do. Load up on Seattle.
I always get that wrong. If you have a house,
(30:35):
I would think about possibly taking out a heat lock
and throwing it on Seattle. I always am on the
losing end of the Super Bowl bets, always, so I'm
not telling you to bet, but I'm telling you if
you want a hazard part of your paycheck on the
outcome of a certain event, bet the opposite of me,
(30:59):
because I'm a loser. See you have losers. We got
another one coming up at six. Relyve on KFI six
