You know, when you go to work, 49 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: you reached back the workplace and you wear you know, 50 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: work clothing. But not anymore, not anymore. When I used 51 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: to work over kalas X, there was a guy who 52 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: was an intern for us, and he had his pants 53 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: halfway down his ass, so you can see his underwear 54 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: half of his underwear, which is a pretty good site. 55 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: You know, I don't mind then. And I said to him, 56 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: I said, I said, you know, this is CBS Radio, 57 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: This is corporate CBS Radio. This is the Tiffany Network. 58 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: I know it's radio, but it's still part of CBS. 59 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: It's the Tiffany Network. And it got its name through Class. 60 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: I mean that streams Class, the Tiffany Network. And I said, 61 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: I can you know your pants are halfway down your 62 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: ass and he says, yeah, that's just why I like him. 63 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: I said, all right. I said, they're not going to 64 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: tolerate that around here. And he said, well, if they 65 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: don't tolerate it around here, I'll go work for Coast 66 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: or I'll go work for KBC. I said, well, both 67 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: those stations are Corporate America too. One's Clear Channel and 68 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: the other one I think was Cumulus at the time 69 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: or owned by Disney. You know, Disney had a lot 70 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: of radio stations. At some point, I said, Disney's not 71 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: going to put up that with that either. I said, 72 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: you have decided to get into the workforce, and if 73 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: you work for Corporate America, you have got a dress 74 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: like it. But somehow that has left the building over 75 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: the last I don't know, twenty or thirty years. So 76 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: you turned it into your dad. Yeah, I think I did. 77 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: I think I did, And I don't feel comfortable like 78 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: I had lunch today with the boss of my boss, 79 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: like the biggest guy in iHeart radio and it's you know, 80 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: it's ninety four ninety five degrees in Burbank, And I 81 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: walked from the office to the restaurant Capital was it 82 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: Capital Cattle Grill? Yes, and which is very good, by 83 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: the way, it is, Yeah, sensational, And I walked over 84 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: there in ninety five degree heat with a long sleeve 85 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: shirt on, long pants and decent shoes. 86 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 4: As you look when you got there, I think. 87 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: A message, But I don't know. Maybe I'm maybe I'm 88 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: well too old school, or or maybe I don't know. 89 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's it's it's not not depressing. 90 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: It's just odd to see, you know, to see somebody 91 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: show up with their pants down below their ass. And 92 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: especially if you're in sales, like when you go out 93 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: in a sales meeting, you're representing iHeart. You know, when 94 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: you meet somebody, they're not just meeting you, they're meeting iHeart, 95 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: and they get a vibe of who you are with 96 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: how you look, and people judge you. This is the 97 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: the judgeeist city in the world, Los Angeles. It's the 98 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: most shallow. It's the look at me the capital of 99 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: the world. Nobody in the world looks at themselves more 100 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: than this city. Nobody. Every store, every restaurant, tons of mirrors. 101 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: If you notice that, you go to the Midwest and 102 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: you go into a restroom, you might see a mirror. 103 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: Every once in a while, you go into a store 104 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: or a restaurant or a you know, a clothing store, 105 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: you might grab a mirror every once in a while. 106 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: Mirrors in Los Angeles are everywhere. Everywhere there are stores 107 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: that sell just mirrors so people can look at themselves. 108 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: They're obsessed with themselves. So getting back to that, when 109 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: you go, my mom used to tell me when when 110 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: we go to see the world, the world sees us. 111 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: And I wish a little more of that came back. 112 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: And you know, we're now to the point where they 113 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: have to put signs in airports. You know, it's not 114 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: a law, but we'd like you to dress up a 115 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: little for the flight.

He goes, Oh, 130 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: there's a store up in Tapanga Plaza called Whoops on Jesus. 131 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: That's such a great line, whoops on Jesus. 132 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, flip flops to me are reserved for two places 133 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 4: B and B beach in backyard. 134 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: That's right.

He was the 169 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: CFO or the COO, and he put out a memo 170 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: to everybody, to all, you know, six hundred employees, there's 171 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: a dress code at Deeke now and as he realized, 172 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: he realized, as he put it out, he violates every 173 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: single one of them. So he ripped it up and 174 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: threw it away. But when I started, when I was working, 175 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: is that. You know, When I got my first job 176 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: at Amber's Chicken, I wore a button down shirt with 177 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: We started with bow ties, you know, because he wanted 178 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: to have everybody wearing you know, bow ties. That didn't 179 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: last long. But I remember distinctly going to CBS as 180 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: a child to see my dad work, and everybody had 181 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: a suit and tie on everybody, and every woman had 182 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: a dress on. Every woman who worked at CBS had 183 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: a dress on. Every man had a suit on. And 184 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 1: they were working in the late nineteen sixties early seventies 185 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: for the Tiffany Network, and they were very proud that 186 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: they were there at CBS. And man did the dressed 187 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: like it. They dressed like it. I wish that came back, 188 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: I really do. 189 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 7: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI 190 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 7: AM six forty. 191 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: All right, it's Friday, it's gonna be hot out and 192 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: we're not gonna do you know. I can scare the 193 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: hell out of you with the weather. I think it 194 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: was a little overblown. Yeah, it's hot out, but southern California, 195 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: we live in a desert and it's gonna be warm. 196 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: But if it gets into like next week, we might 197 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: be getting into the hundreds. And so we'll warn you 198 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: about that. And because you know, people are you know, 199 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: people don't pay attention to the weather. You know. They 200 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: think it's March and it's gonna be great, it's gonna 201 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: be fun, and it's gonna be easy to be out 202 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: here in March, and then it's not and then bang, So, 203 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: without scaring the hell out of you, next week, here's 204 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: your days to worry about. Okay, Tuesday ninety four in 205 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: the Valley, Wednesday ninety three, Thursday ninety five, Friday ninety 206 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: seven in the San Fernando Valley Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday nineties. 207 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: And the low is only going down to the high sixties, 208 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: so it's not cooling off to the fifties, you know, 209 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: or or high forties, early fifties, because that's when you 210 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: could cool the house down at night, and that's not 211 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 1: going to be happening next week. So it's gonna warm up. 212 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: All right. We got some bad news. I don't know 213 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: what the trend is here, but I don't like it, 214 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: and I think there's only one thing we can do 215 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: about it. But there are grocery stores that are closing, 216 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: and that's the beginning of the end of your neighborhood. 217 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: You got to really fight to keep these stores open, 218 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's Smart and Final or Von Safeway. Pavilions. 219 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: Ralph's one of my favorite markets. You've got to you've 220 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: got to go. You've got to get in there. Maybe 221 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: you've been at maybe Gelson's, Whole Foods, whatever your market is, 222 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: but you've got to get in there. There are way 223 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: too many people, you know, on the fly eating out, 224 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: either either eating a restaurants or ordering food service, you know, 225 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: where you can order a week's worth of food and 226 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: it comes in a box and you prepare it and 227 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: and you hate it, but you don't know how to 228 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: cancel it. One of those jobs, and we did that. 229 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: My wife got us involved with one of those services. 230 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: They would bring us, you know, like eight meals or so, 231 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: and then we'd try them all and they were all horrible, 232 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: and then we'd go out to eat. But maybe they've 233 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: gotten better since we've done that. But there's an Albertson's. 234 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: It's closing, not here locally, but I I it's in Vegas. 235 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: But I still fear that that we are not shopping 236 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: enough at grocery stores to keep open. And when your 237 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: grocery store closes, the one that you always go to 238 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: for me, it's Pavilions Crozier.

He didn't 382 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: smoke outside in the winter. He smoked inside with all 383 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: the doors and windows closed. He smoked inside in his chair, 384 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: his wing back chair, watching his TV. And he would 385 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: smoke and drink beer after work. And then one day 386 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: he said to my grandmother, have you noticed you don't 387 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: see anything different about me? And she said, are those 388 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: new glasses? And he said, no, these are the same 389 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: glass I've had for twenty eight years. Is that a 390 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: new shirt, No, it's not a new shirt. What about 391 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: your hair? Did you get your haircut? 392 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 3: No? 393 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: And he said, and she says, I give up. What's 394 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: different about you? And he said, this is the second 395 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: anniversary of me quitting smoking. I quit smoking two years ago. 396 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: And she didn't notice. She didn't notice. How about that? 397 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: And they didn't live in a mansion on the east 398 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: side of Cleveland. They live in a relatively decent house. 399 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: And he quit smoking, all right. I don't like the 400 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: grocery store is closing. You have got to go visit 401 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: your grocery store. You've got California. Vaughn's is closing in 402 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: part of Albertson's in that's the whole Albertson's deal. I 403 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: think in Redlands is closing on March nineteenth, which is 404 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: next week, and another Vond's is closing in California in 405 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: May of this year. I think it's all because of 406 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: the failed merger. Remember they had, They abandoned that twenty 407 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: five billion dollar Kroger merger. And both companies are closing 408 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: down underperforming stores. And so we as customers, we've you've 409 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: got to go visit your store so you keep it open. 410 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: That's your job. If you don't go to your store enough, 411 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: they will close. It's time to get up off your 412 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: chair and go to your Vond's or your Trader Joe's 413 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: or whatever it is.

You got 445 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: to get out more often and get to these markets 446 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: before they start shutting down. 447 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 7: You're listening to Tim conwayjun you're on demand from KFI 448 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 7: AM six forty. 449 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: All right, one more piece here on the markets.

If your grocery 452 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: store closes, it is going to be really depressing, especially 453 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 1: for older people who may walk to the local grocery 454 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: store or you know, just take a bus or an 455 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 1: uber a very short distance.
