1

Speaker 1: Lit lamb with a lot to lad. Oh yes, all right,

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: welcome everybody. Tim Conway Junior. We are joined by a

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: guy who has an incredible record in writing comedies. If

10
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: you just worked on Mash or just worked on Cheers,

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: or just worked on Frasier, you have made it. But

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: this man has worked on all three. Ken Levine, how you, Bob?

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, buddy. I I miss the sitcom h

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: only a good one only comes by about every five

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: or six years. Why do you think that is?

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: I don't know.

17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: I think the networks want to go away from it

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: for whatever reason. But I don't understand because when you

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: look at the younger generation, what shows do they watch?

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: They watch Friends, that's right, they watched Golden Girls, they

21
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: watched Seinfeld. Wish they would watch one of my shows, but.

22
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Well, No, Hills, Cheers and Frasier are top ten you

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: know sitcoms.

24
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, They do great in syndication, which is good because

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: I have a couple of kids.

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: How long did you write MASH? Four years? Okay? Was

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: that the McLean Stevenson era. No, that was right after

28
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: he left, and I was there until the end of Radar. Oh,

29
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: my partner David Isaacs, and I wrote Goodbye Radar. Did

30
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: any MASH writers leave with McLain to work on Hello Larry? No, No,

31
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: the writers were a lot smarter than you remember when

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: he left for that. Oh yeah, yeah, that's a great

33
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: career move. I'll tell you quick. McLain Stevenson's story and

34
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: never mentioned him as the as the source of this,

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: but since Mark Thompson mentioned his name now I can

36
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: mention it. But McClain Stevenson and my dad were really

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: good friends, okay, And so Mike McClain Stephenson and my

38
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: dad were big Rams fans. And I became a Rams

39
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: fan very early, like four or five years old, and

40
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: my dad would take us to the Rams game. We'd watch,

41
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, we'd go to six or seven games a year.

42
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: But my dad had six kids and he couldn't spend

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: Sunday with just one of his kids, you know. So

44
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: McLean would pick me up and i'd I'd go to

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: the game with McLain Stevenson, okay, you know, and he

46
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: was hysterical. You know, he's a very nice guy. But

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: he did like to have a couple of beers at

48
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: the game. And I remember one day, I was about

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: nine or ten years old, and he must have had

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: nineteen beers. You know. He always came back to a

51
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: four pack and just chaguga glugged him pulled over around

52
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: the coliseum for a dui and he's got a nine

53
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: year old kid in the back. But back then, the

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: cops just gave you a ticket for that and said

55
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: be careful. Wow, you'd and you or maybe they did

56
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 1: that because they knew it was McLain Stevenson. That's possibility

57
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: as well. But I never told my dad that because

58
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: I knew that it would affect his friendship with mcclaim,

59
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, drank in nineteen beers and driving his kid around,

60
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: and it would screw me over by I couldn't go

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: to the Rams games anymore.

62
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: Yet you would get in the car every week, exactly right,

63
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: you must.

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: I go back to Roman, Gabriel, Jack Youngblood, you know

65
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: all those guys. It was great so but let's talk

66
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: about sitcoms. I'm going to give you the list of

67
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: AI has come up with the top ten sitcoms okay

68
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: in the world, and let's discuss them because I think

69
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: this this list is missing a few. At number ten,

70
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: it's always sunny in Philadelphia. Well, I mean it's been

71
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: on a long time, right, so I give it points

72
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: for longevity. But in terms of the top ten, I'm

73
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: with you on that. One arrested development is number nine.

74
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: I think the same boat. Then we get into Golden Girls.

75
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: I think Golden Girls deserves top ten.

76
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Golden Girls is so funny. Those four women were amazing.

77
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: Like I said, if you talk to college kids and

78
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: you say what sitcoms do you watch, they watch Golden Girls.

79
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And the youngest of the Golden Girls was

80
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: the grandmother was the oldest, uh huh right, And they

81
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 1: only cast her because when.

82
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: The show was pitched to NBC, they said, oh, this

83
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: is great, and then they got the script and they said, well,

84
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: well these people are old, and they go, well, yeah, right,

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: and then they said, well, okay, we don't want them

86
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: that old, so give one of them a mother.

87
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Oh that's right. It's even older. Oh that's great.

88
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: I didn't know that that's the reason. Yeah, that's terrific.

89
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: And she was younger than all of them, I know. Yeah. Okay.

90
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: Number seven Mash, thank you, nineteen seventy two. Thank you?

91
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: All right? So I win anything? Do I get any

92
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: kind of you still get residuals? Yes?

93
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: I do? Is that right?

94
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

95
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I mean the four cents. But it's the

96
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: nine thousandth viewing of the episode.

97
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, if if Mash or Fraser or

98
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: Cheers were just on a little later, you'd be you'd

99
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: be worth thirty million, I know. Yeah, all right, So

100
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: that's number seven. Number six is The Simpsons, according to AI,

101
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: the Simpsons, which has been on a long time. I

102
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: think nineteen eighty ninety's been on since nineteen forty seven. Yes,

103
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: are you gonna like number five? Fraser? Thank you? Number five?

104
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: All right. I one of my favorite shows was Fraser,

105
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: and that was a spin off, its spin off of Cheers. Yeah,

106
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: of Cheers, And I thought it was so well written

107
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: and everybody on that show, all the actors were really

108
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: especially smart.

109
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: I noticed that, Yeah, and it was I think all

110
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 3: the shows that I've worked on just the greatest cast

111
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 3: pound for pound were Peers. Oh, Peers, the best, so amazing.

112
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: We would go down for a run through and certain

113
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: lines wouldn't work, and you'd come back to the office

114
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: and you go, well, was it performance?

115
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: Did he do it? Run? Did he mumble?

116
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: And if David Hyde Pierce didn't get a laugh, we

117
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: just put an X through it and said, it's us,

118
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: it's us, it's our problem.

119
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: We need to give them a different line. Okay. This

120
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: is the AI top ten sitcoms of all time. So

121
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: Fraser's number five. Number four is Friends. I didn't watch

122
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 1: Friends when it first came out, but I'm now watching

123
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: it reruns and I laugh out loud three four five

124
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: times on every episode. Great show. It's beautifully written.

125
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: Yep, even though I had nothing to do with it, right, Okay,

126
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: but it was a great show. And I think that's

127
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 3: one of those shows that is going to be around

128
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: for years and years because I think every young generation

129
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 3: is going to discover Friends and they're going to relate

130
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,559
Speaker 3: to it. And like I said, I think that show,

131
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: I think Mash Friends and I Love Lucy are the

132
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: three shows that are going to be around in another

133
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 3: fifty years.

134
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so Fraser's number five, Friends, number four, Number three

135
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: is Cheers. You have top you have two of the

136
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: top five shows on there, so I'm proud to know me.

137
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: Number three is Cheers. Number two is The Office, which

138
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: I think is absolutely brilliant. Yeah, I do too.

139
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: Just you don't think you number now? No, I'm thinking,

140
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: where's the Dick Van Dyke show?

141
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, number what do you number? Finefeld? What

142
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: do you think number one is? It has to be

143
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: I love Lucy Seinfeld, so I love Lucy in the

144
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: top ten? Neither is All in the Family. How about that?

145
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: So I'm here about Aftermash. Did that that make it?

146
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: I don't think. So here's the list that I wrote.

147
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: I wrote down my top I guess seven or eight, Cheers, Mash,

148
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: All in the Family. Three's companies also missing from that list. Yeah,

149
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Three's companies great, Shanda Seinfeld, Fraser, The Office, Friends, Simpson's

150
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: and and I think one of the reasons why we

151
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: don't have more sitcoms, I think it's the lack of

152
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: really great showrunners. You have that really great show run.

153
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: You know.

154
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: I was very lucky because I came up in the

155
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: seventies in the Golden Age of comedy, and we had

156
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: some great mentors. I mean my mentors were Jim Brooks

157
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: and Larry Gelbard and Geene Reynolds and the Charles Brothers.

158
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: So I had a chance to really learn from the best.

159
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: And I don't think today's young writers have that same luxury.

160
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: You know, in those days, you'd be on a show

161
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 3: Mary Tyler Moore show, which also should be there. That

162
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 3: show would be on for seven years, so if you

163
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 3: were a young writer on that show, they would groom

164
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 3: you and then you would be a producer of Taxi

165
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: like the Charles Taxi. Taxi should be on there too,

166
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: and then you create your own show Cheers. I don't

167
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: think today's younger writers have that same opportunity to.

168
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: Learn with us. He is a writer. We're going to

169
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: talk about his show as well, but he also wrote

170
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: three great sitcoms, Mash, Cheers, and Frasier. I heard in

171
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: a writer's room. I know we got to take a break,

172
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: but real quick. In a writer's room, if you don't

173
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: like a joke, you better have two to replace it.

174
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: If you're going to exit out. Is that true?

175
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: No, But you can't just say this doesn't work. You

176
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: gotta go Okay, well then what do you want to

177
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: do instead? I see, I can't be that guy.

178
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: I also love that the writer's room got special protection

179
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: from you know, sexual you know, innuendo or abuse or

180
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: language that most companies would not allow their employees to do.

181
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

182
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if you were in a writer's room

183
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: a you would laugh hysterically all night, but oh my god,

184
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 3: we'd all be arrest. We'd all be arrest. That's why

185
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 3: they gave special protection.

186
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: Though.

187
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 3: You know, you're doing such a pressurized job, like we

188
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: don't go home until the script is finished, and so

189
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: you really have to be creative on demand and it

190
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: really helps to lighten the mood. But yeah, those rooms

191
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 3: for every joke you hear that you laugh at, there

192
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 3: were two that were even funnier that we could couldn't do.

193
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that went up to the Supreme California Supreme

194
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: Court and they decided now that that's a special, special

195
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: dispensation for that room, which is great. All right, we'll

196

Speaker 3: are important, right, and people don't want to go see them,

243
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,120

246
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: go to the theater and laugh for ninety minutes. It's

247
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: a romantic comedy, very much in the style of Frasier.

248
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: I can be honest with you.

249
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,520

256
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: is nice when when you have, you know, a total

257
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: control over the project too. Yeah, sure is you know.

258
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not getting any network notes, right, yeah, which

Speaker 3: You know, got to get all these names out. Sure,

265
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 3: but it's it's really funny. It's a like a nol

266
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 3: Coward esque sex.

267
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: Romp on a cruise ship. Okay, all right? And how

00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: price today and today's five. There are so few theaters

272
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: on the West.

273
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 3: Side, that's true, especially in Nando Valley. It's like every

280
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: you have to be there for every show? You know?

281
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: I'm there for every show because for me, I'm not

282
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: getting rich off of this, right, But for me, the

283
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: perk is hearing the laughter.

284
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's yeah, yeah, you know.

285
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: And that's the great thing about writing for the theater.

286
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: It's one thing AI get a play.

287
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: I can't do it, yeah, can you stay with us.

288
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: Don't talk a lot of people don't know this about you.

289
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: Maybe they do, but people listening right now. You were

290
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers for a long time.

291
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I was the host of Dodger Talk and

292
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: I filled in a couple of times doing play by play.

293
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: But some of the years where I think it was

294
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: the eighties, wasn't it eighty eight?

295
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: Were you there?

296
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: No?

297
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: I was not there in eighty eight. I was there

298
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: in the mid nineties. Okay, we had good teams then.

299
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: And I was there in like two thousand and eight

300
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 3: through twenty and ten, the Manny ramrror Is era. We

301
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: would go to the National League Championship Series and lose

302
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 3: every year.

303
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: I remember hearing Vince Scully going in Manny being Manny,

304
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: and they used to drive me crazy. But was it

305
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Doggett? Who are you working with?

306
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: I was working with well, different people, but no, I

307
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: was working with a guy named Josh Sushan, now the

308
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: voice of the Albuquerque Isotopes, which, by the way, my

309
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 3: partner David Isaac's and I named the team because we

310

Speaker 3: wrote an episode of the Simpsons that introduced the Springfield Isotopes,

311
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: and they decided to actually use that name.

312
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: Who was who was the announcers? Then it's Vince Scully.

313

Speaker 1: Who it wasn't Jerry Doggett.

314
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,760

327
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,240

Speaker 1: the way to Valencia listening to it, went into Walmart

336
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: for twenty minutes, you know, got some crap I didn't need,

337
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: and drove home. And I was driving home and I

338
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: was on the five where the five and the one

339
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,960

Speaker 1: the outfield that extended the game and I and then

341
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,520

363
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: You and I did you grow up in the valley. Yeah,

364
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: I grew up in Woodland Hills. So you took the

365
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: RTD like I did. And I the RTD is now

366
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: the Metro, who was the rapid transit district when I

367
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: was twelve, and actually even before that, I think it

368
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: was eleven years old when I first did this. But

369
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: we'd walk from Magnoli and Balboa up to Balbo and Ventura,

370
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: then get on one bus that took us to Sepolva,

371
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: another bus that took us west toward another bus would

372
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: take us to the beach. And at twelve years old

373
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: with my other you know, stupid buddies in sixth grade.

374
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: We went to the beach every Sunday, every Saturday. Yeah,

375
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: and now you would never allow your twelve year old

376
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: and his stupid buddies to get on an RTD.

377
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: I lived in Woodland Hills and I would take the

378
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 3: bus from like to Panga and Ventura all the way

379
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 3: into Hollywood. Took about an hour and a half because

380
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 3: it's stuck opt at every block, and it would drop

381
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: me off at Hollywood and Vine at like five forty

382
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: five at night, and I would stand on the corner

383
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 3: and wait for my father to come by, and I'd

384
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 3: hop in the car and we'd go to the Dodger.

385
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 3: Can you imagine letting your twelve year old kid just

386
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 3: stand at the corner of Hollywood.

387
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, five, that is awesome. But you worked at You

388
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: worked at Tbank aplause. I learned to skate there. My

389
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: dad told me how to skate on hockey skates there,

390
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: and that was where I know I fell in love

391
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: with hockey. But I remember that old ice rink with

392
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: and then outside of it was the fountains with those

393
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: little drips coming down, right, oil drips. Yeah.

394
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 3: I worked at Wallas Music City, which was the record store,

395
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 3: the biggest record They had a big record store and

396
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: we had listening boots. That was the big feature of

397
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 3: Wallax Music City is you could take an album and

398
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: you can go in and listen to it.

399
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: Oh that's great.

400
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 3: But the listening boots, one after another, basically served as

401
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 3: the store windows. So we had one one rule. Had

402
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 3: one rule, right, you can't smoke pot in the listening boot,

403
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: and you had to be the marshal of it. I

404
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 3: had to be the marshal of it. And like every

405
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: three weeks I would throw Neil Young out of the

406
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: listening Neil Neil Young, yeah he was part of Buffalo's

407
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 3: springfield back then, but yeah, you know, and I would

408
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: just come in as like, hey Neil Wow, oh man,

409
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 3: be cool.

410
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: I gotta do it. That's my one rule. That's great.

411
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean to kick Neil Young, yeah, out of a

412
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: record store repeatedly. You might be the only guy he's

413
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: ever done that.

414
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 3: You know, probably if he ever sees me, he might

415
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: look at me and go you right exactly. He might

416
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 3: still hate me, but you know that that's the mall

417
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 3: that I grew up on.

418
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: We went to Jolly Roger, which was the great My

419
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: mom's favorite restaurant with those big wing back chairs, and

420
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: then Montgomery Wards. My first credit card was there, Sears

421
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: was there, Broadway make Company bullets, all those you know,

422
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: those beautiful stores that you and I were up around

423
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: are all gone.

424
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, well hold brick and mortar malls are

425
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 3: dying out, so you go. The Topanga Plaza has tripled

426
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 3: inside right, Yeah, And I don't understand it because there's

427
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: the other malls that are just dead right and and

428
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 3: Topanga Plaza, which I don't think they call it that anymore.

429
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: It has that really ritzy rich section with all the

430
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 3: stores that you know, right near the movie theaters that

431
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 3: are all you know, you can't you gotta be worth

432
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 3: eight million to get in.

433
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: But I love that mall, you know, skateboarding to the mall.

434
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's something that that kids. I don't know

435
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: if they're going to have the opportunity much longer after,

436
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, after Amazon crushes everybody. We used to hang

437
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: out at the mall. That's what we did.

438
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: What you did on Saturday afternoon is you hung out

439
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: at the mall. You had orange Julius and you were

440
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 3: very cool.

441
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: Right, and that they had the worst I'd love Topanga Plaza,

442
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: but the worst food court in the world. It was

443
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: just like seven crappy joints there. Now it's great, but

444
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: back in the seventies and eighties it was dreadful. But

445
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: I imagine you probably had the same you know, stops

446
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: that I had. Along Ventura Boulevard. There was either miniature Golf,

447
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: or there was Flukies or you know, the hot Dog

448
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: Factory or you know, Malibu Grand Prix. All these places

449
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: that I grew up around are all gone.

450
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. There was some pool hall that I used to

451
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: go to, oh yeah in my youth. Yeah, there was

452
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 3: the Corbin Bowl. That's right, the Corbin Theater where in

453
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 3: my day we watched horrible, horrible Elvis Presley movies.

454
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember going to the Lorraine Theater where I

455
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: saw my first naked woman on a movie screen. And

456
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: I'll always remember where I was for that. You know,

457
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: that was I think it was Clockwork orange movie, okay,

458
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: and but not the most erotic movie. It was only

459
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: a four second scene. But that's all you need at thirteen.

460
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know. But also, so you did die

461
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: your talk for a long time, and I remember listening

462
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: to you doing Dodger Talk. I remember listening even before

463
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,520

Speaker 1: Man show starts at nine tomorrow. All right, I was so.

497
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: I got a text early this morning said hey, very

498
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: funny on Kimmel last night, and I'm like, what really?

499
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: So it was?

500
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: I watched the video today. There was an impression by

501
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: a guy named Josh Myers, who I believe is related

502
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: to Seth Myers. I think it's Seth Myers. Didn't think

503
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: it's a brother. Yeah, yeah, And he did an impression

504
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: of our governor, Governor Gavin Newsom while Gavin Newsom was

505
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: on the show. And I don't know if if Governor

506
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: Newsom knew that this kid, Josh Myers was going to

507
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: come on and do an impression of him, and he

508
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: had to have you know, you can't with the security

509
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: that Gavin Newsom has. He surrounds himself with security, and

510
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: probably for you know, a great reason. He had to

511
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: know that this guy was coming out to do this.

512
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: But if he did, he really sold it like he

513
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: had no idea. So this is Gavin Newsom being interviewed

514
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: by Jimmy Kimmel and then Josh Myers comes out and

515
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: does an impression of Gavin Newsom that was very very

516
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: good and very very very funny. We'll play the whole

517
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: thing without interrupting it. Here we go.

518
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes I hear people talking about California and I wonder, like,

519
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 2: where are they getting this?

520
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: Where are they getting this?

521
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 4: Well Fox Arrangement, I mean, it's twenty four to seven,

522
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 4: the California Arrangement syndrome. It's through these propaganda networks focusing

523
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 4: on what's wrong every single day. And there's an old

524
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 4: adage you're nothing more than your consistent thoughts. Whatever you

525
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 4: focus on, you find more of in these networks have

526
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 4: really honed in on California for one reason our success

527
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 4: runs completely contra to their entire worldview. The fact that

528
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 4: California is the fourth largest economy in the world, has

529
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 4: more scientists, engineers, more Nobel laureates, the finest system of

530
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 4: higher education, more venture capital than in the state in America.

531
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: We got the TMZ tour. We got TMZ Tours.

532
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: Not that we own our problems, so we do.

533
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 4: We have we have problems, but there's an energy and

534
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 4: daring and an entrepreneurialism that to.

535
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: Find the best state. It is the best state.

536
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 4: And you know it's also in you know, this is

537
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 4: part of it. It's also the most diverse state in

538
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 4: the United States of America. Twenty seven percent of this

539
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 4: state's flora boards. And that offends these guys.

540
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: And you know, it's interesting.

541
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 4: It's all stayed with universal healthcare. Is twenty five dollars

542
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 4: minimum wage for healthcare workers, twenty dollars minimum wage for

543
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 4: fast food workers. Yes, it has a progressive, progressive tax code,

544
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 4: but it's very different than the co tax systems and

545
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 4: places like Texa and Florida that tax their lowest wage

546
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 4: earners more than we tax our highest wage earners.

547
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: That's the wrong audio. Where is the audio bellio or

548
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: Steph Fuche. I sent you the audio for of the impression.

549
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: Did you guys put that on tonight? That might have

550
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: been a bellio mix up. We'll see right, all right,

551
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: all right, well just I'll find it during the commercial break.

552
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: But that's that's not the audio I was looking for. Sorry, sorry,

553
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: all right, Let's get into the Santa Clarita here. A

554
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: SWAT team had to go out because somebody was making

555
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: some mischief out in Santa Clarita. And now SWAT had

556
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: to go out and grab this guy. And it was

557
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: right near a friend of mine again, a Oscar. It

558
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: lives right down the street from where this happened. Guy

559
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: just lost it and Swatt had.

560
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 2: To come in.

561
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 5: We got an eyeful, for sure. There is no doubt

562
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 5: about that scary situation for sure. Let me show you

563
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 5: what it looks like. Now, now, kind of talk us

564
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 5: all through what happened. We're gonna roll some tape when appropriate.

565
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 5: This is all happening out here Santa Colorda twenty two,

566
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 5: six hundred block of Clamlico. I've always had trouble with

567
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 5: saying that. I'm sure the locals are rolling their eyes

568
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 5: what we're seeing right there. Well, this is a situation,

569
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,479
Speaker 5: so we're we don't have one hundred percent on how

570
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 5: it started, but I can tell you a number of

571
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 5: deputies showed up out here, heavily armed and their version

572
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 5: of the SWAT team. We do know that there is

573
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 5: actual shotgun sitting there on the sidewalk, so I'm sure

574
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 5: that is part of what happened here earlier on. Now

575
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 5: there is a fire truck also nearby, so don't know

576
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 5: if it was some kind of medical call that led

577
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 5: to somebody coming outside with that shotgun. Was there a

578
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 5: shot fired all that, Well, we've got to figure that

579
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 5: stuff out. But I can tell you they had this

580
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 5: area surround it and you can see the number of

581
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 5: SWAT deputies that they have out here. Now, there was

582
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 5: some negotiations and then I'm gonna roll some tape, Lisa,

583
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 5: roll the tape. Of course, that suspect decided to come out,

584
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 5: and he came out, Well, he had a shirt on,

585
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 5: and he had a hat on and some socks.

586
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: That's about it. No pants and that's about it.

587
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 5: So he was bearing all the facts and basically letting

588
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 5: the officers know he didn't have anything concealed at all,

589
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 5: and basically he was taken into custody.

590
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: What a wild day for the guy. You know. It

591
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: lives out in Santa Clarita, which is all just homes

592
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: where people are trying to raise their kids without lunatics around,

593
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: and then this guy decides to go off.

594
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 5: So that's how the sole thing came to an end.

595
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 5: There was a little bit of a delay the officers

596
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 5: or deputies didn't go rushing in afterwards and wanting to

597
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 5: make sure that that actually was a suspect not somebody

598
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 5: else inside the house. Right now, though deputies are still there,

599
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 5: they're called what's clearing the property? Just making sure that

600
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 5: there is nobody else inside that home. But again the

601
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: danger has abated for sure.

602
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy day out in Santa Clarita. We just want

603
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: to make sure that we caught that because we have

604
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people who listen to KFI who live

605
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: in Santa Clarita, Valencia, New Hall area and beyond. All right,

606
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 1: at nine o'clock we do talkback. See if you can

607
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: get your talk back in, we will put that together

608
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: and throw that on the radio. Just go to our

609
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: I Guess our app, the iHeartRadio app, and then click

610
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: on Conways show and then the small red button with

611
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: the white microphone top right hand corner, and then you

612
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: can leave a talk back. It'll be you know, twenty

613
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: five to thirty seconds and we'll play it on the air.

614
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: These are your airwaves. You guys own these airwaves. We

615
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: don't know them. We just sort of rent them for

616
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: a while. They're the public airwaves, and so we're giving you,

617
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,800
