Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
We're watching some TV and and I was saying to Mark,
you know, I don't have that kind of energy anymore.
Like when somebody called me when I was in my
twenties and said, hey, I got a great idea for
a TV show. I'm like, oh, let's go to Arts Deli.
(00:21):
We'll flush it out, we'll see what we can pitch
it to. Well, we'll write out, you know, a two
or three page treatment of what's going to be, and hey,
we can take it to this guy. I knew this
guy at CBS. There's another guy at NBC who's a
guy Deeke Entertainment. Maybe maybe he knows and you know,
you get involved.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Guy calls me up. He goes, I got an idea,
my buddy, good luckause you want to be involved. I said,
I can't get involved with anything. I don't have that
kind of energy anymore. But I remember, I remember I
got fairly friendly with the guy that started I Big Brother.
Remember you know that show Big Brother, of course, and
he was the executive producer Big Brother. Wow. And he
(00:59):
said to me one He goes, if you ever any ideas?
You know, we're always looking for ideas. I said, okay,
And I never bothered him. I just thought he probably
said that to me to be courteous. And then two
years go by and then a guy who I'm friends
with said, hey, I got an idea for a TV
show and I want to pitch it to the guy
who runs Big Brother. And I said, oh, I know
the guy runs Big Brother. He goes, oh, will you
(01:21):
come with us and pitch this with us? I said,
I'd want to do that. I said, I'll set you up.
I'll set you up, but I don't want to go
do it. I don't want any piece of it. You
just do it, you know, by yourself. So I called
the guy at Big Brother. He says hey, he says,
can you pitch it to my assistant first, and if
he likes it, then we'll all have a big meeting.
I said okay. And then the guy from Big Brother says, hey,
would you come in with them? I feel more comfortable
(01:42):
if you came in with them. And it was on
the lot over at Keko, you know, at the CBS lot,
and I said, ah, okay, I'll go in with him.
So I called the guy. I said, Hey, the guy
from Big Brother wants to meet you and we're going
in on Tuesday at noon. Can you make it? He goes, yeah, absolutely,
So I go in ontoday at noon. They pitched the
idea to the assistant of this guy who runs Big
(02:04):
Brother and the guy goes, oh. He goes, I like
the idea. It's interesting. Maybe we can do this with it.
We can get this person Paul, and he really liked
the idea. And then he points to me and he goes,
why are you here?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I just love that?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And I said I didn't want to go. I don't
want to be involved. You both asked me to go,
and I showed up. This is the last place I
want to be good. And then I got I got,
you know, s thrown in my face. God, but I
bet that happens a lot, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
All right, I got to try to win the sanity
to Derby on Saturday to try to make break even
for the year. And there's no better handicapper than our
next guest, Red ziggin Bush. Red, how you Bud?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Hey, I'm Red. Huh.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Well, look I text you the other night and I actually,
you know, the tea's very close to the R on
the keyboard, and I actually plant pressed R. And I
think Red zigg and Bush is a better handicapper named
than Ted.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Hey, it'll bring me luck Ted Ted.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Zigg and Bush for many, many years, you may remember,
I know Krozer used him to try to get the
girls did love songs? I mean, yeah, love songs on the.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Coast, right, Yeah, that works out for us.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, And Krozier would call he would you call Ted.
I'd walk into the studio either Ted or Karen or
you know back then, Yeah, and say, hey, I'm going
to be out tonight with a gal. Will you do
a dedication where she can hear it?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
But that happened more than you know.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Krozer used everything he could to get those gales.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
You worked at Coast from nineteen eighty two to twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yes, sir, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Is that incredible. That's thirty eight years.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I'm just looking at it here on LinkedIn. It's crazy,
but that's true. Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
I was the last one hired when they started November
of eighty two, I joined they had an opening, uh
and I was the last one hired. And I was
the last one of the original guys to leave in
twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
So, wow, is that thirty eight?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Last and last?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Is it thirty eight?
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I think it's that. That's right.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah, was that quickly? And now you let you guys
talk horses. But was that station Coast always like what
it is or through the years, or was there a
format the formats kind of change at all?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Or oh, let me tell you.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
When we took over, they had been playing Mancini and
Montovanni and stuff like that, right, And for the first
couple of months we got the most angry phone calls
from ninety year old people going where's my Mancini?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Because it was mellow pop? Is that what was kind
of what you guys brought in?
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I don't think it was even pop when we still Yeah,
when we took over, the playlist was pretty big.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
In the early days, we.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Played a little bit of country, a little bit of
soft oh everything from Linda Ronstad, Neil Diamond, things like that.
But then over the years, you know, it slowly progressed.
We picked up the tempo and uh, I think it
was early nineties we became the number one station out
of everybody in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It still is, and yeah, yeah, you know, nobody touches
that station around Christmas either. When when they flipped to
Christmas Man, they become the station where you hear it
in every parking lot.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
And people thought that was a crazy idea. It's like, what,
you're going to play nothing but Christmas, and you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
But what is their slogan now eighty the music of eighties,
nineties and today?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
No? Is that right? Or is that is it that
they do now?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I thought Emerson, I think we're asking the wrong guy.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
You always in the family, You always worked at.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
The same airshift, ted more or less? Or when were
you on?
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Oh no, in the in the later years, I was
all over the place. I mean literally, I didn't When
the phone rang, it was like, oh, you know, three
o'clock in the morning. They asked me to come in
and do the morning show, so I was. I probably
was heard more between two thousand and six and twenty
twenty than the nighttime. I mean I did the nighttime
(06:27):
thing for about twenty years of ten p to two A.
But yeah, I did eight weeks of the morning show
in two thousand and eight, so you know, I was,
I was filling in there more than anywhere, and we
had a lot of fun. I mean, it was it
was a blast.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It was a bad I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
And now it's called feel good La?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Is that what it is? St Stephani? I don't know
feel good La LA's feel good stations? Oh la, feel
good stations? Oh man, that's why I couldn't make it
that station. I couldn't get that right.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Yeah, well, believe me, we were corrected more than once
in what we were saying.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So yeah, welcome to the club. Hey Stephan, so ted
you are the world's greatest handy copper. How do you
see the san Anita Derby playing out? And how can
I win a couple of bucks?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Okay? So you know it's only a five horse field?
Oh you think so?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Because I can't. Well, if it was a two horse field,
I would be complicated.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
For me, not money wise.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
But so journal journalism is going to be the favorite.
Journalism is on the rail, which means you know it'll
be the number one horse coming out of the gate.
And We'spolis the jockey, McCarthy is the trainer. Good combination
and should be the favorite. I mean, based on everything
(07:50):
on overall points, looking at everything considered, journalism is by
far the best, and the morning line six to five.
If you can get nine to five, it's going to
be a bargain if you can, if you can get
something like.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
That, right, But would you?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Would you? And the pick six.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
That's a tough one. I mean, if you're going to
single somebody, I guess that would be the one to single.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
It's going to be very tough for citizen bull to
uh to live up to journalism's numbers.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Journalism has the speed, Journalism has the points overall the
The thing I'm I'm concerned about is the pace of
the race because you've got Barns in there. That is
the number four horse, and Barnes has a ton of
early speed. It's just a question of how far is
(08:49):
he going to be able to Can he take it
a mile and an eighth?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Some people say, well, no, he proved last time he
can't because he got you know, he got me by
journalism last time, right at a mile in the sixteenth.
But never underestimate, you know, second time around at a
distance like that, and Barnes could end up being the
real value I mean because Barnes could go off at
like three to one.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, we've got to take a break. But I'm gonna
tell I'm gonna say journalism's your number one pick.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Then I would say on top, yeah, and and have
Citizen Bowl baasa Barnes. They're they're the you know also
and it's just going to be the luck of the
drawers to who's second. But Barnes could steal it. I mean,
if anything would be an upset, I mean would be Barnes.
I would think at a good price. I don't see
(09:42):
Citizen Bowl beating journalism, but hey, it's horse racing.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I think I got to find what we need to
take a break. Means, so Ed can I can people
still sign up with you on on the email list?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Yeah, and I will do my best to get you
added in time. You know, last time we got blasted
and it took a little while to everybody because.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I just emailed what's the what's the email address?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
It's Ted Ziggy t E ed ziggy z I g

Los l and okay, probably watch it there.
Speaker 1 (10:24):

Speaker 4 (10:31):

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Ted zig and Bush. He likes the number one horse
in the sanity to Derby. It's Conway show. We're gonna
I think we're now on Neil. I'm sorry. Dean Sharp
up next? Yeah, Dean right, I love that guy.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
kf I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Dean Sharp, who's on every Saturday morning from six to
eight am and Sunday from nine am until noon. It's
Mark Thompson's brother's favorite show. It is true Sharp the
house wheresper how you Bob? You know, every day you
wake up above ground, it's a good day. Yes, that's
that's a great theory, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And I don't mean to quibble with the guy who
I have a ment respect for. Dean Sharp.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh no, here we go.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I always feel like if you have to default to
well it's a great day, because I'm alive, things may
not be going that well. You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
I feel like, you know, you can read into that
anything you want. Okay, that's right, you're right.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
But what about that Beatles song He's it's a lucky
man who's made the grave? Isn't there something to say.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
About that's that haunting lyric? Exactly?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I mean like when I when I hear like an
old friend had passed away, My theory is how come
he got to go?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Oh, don't say that.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Really don't believe that. That's right? And most of the
people listening to you phonies, just don't say it on
the air, all right, and you don't take pitch meetings, anybody.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Learn That's right?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I am burning out? All right, let's talk cabinets.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I don't know Dean, if you've seen this online, but
there's a video of and I hate to say this
because it sounds sexist, but there's a video of about
nine different women trying to hang cabinets up in the kitchen,
and they all turn into disasters. What they fall, They fall,
the cabinets fall, and sometimes they got hurt. But watching
(12:26):
people try to hang cabinets by themselves is always interesting,
it is.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
And you know, we're just gonna say that that was
a coincidence that they were all women in video, because
I'll tell you this, I've seen that kind of disaster
exhibited from.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Through the year. All right.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
But you know what, and you know, the old days
you needed to at least two guys to hang a cabinet.
But now with those hydraulic lifts and the laser you know,
and the laser levelers, you can almost do it on
your own. If you have expensive equipment.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
No, yeah, yeah, if you've got the if you've got
the quipan, you probably But you know what, I have
yet to see, and having done this for many a
moon now, I have yet to see a professional cabinet
company just send one guy, right, You're right. It's just
you know, it's always it's always a pair.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, that's always a mom and pop guy that comes
out by the apprentice. That's the way it works, right
in the construction. But is it Obviously you want cabinets.
You want to do cabinets once in your life and
not two or three times.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Ideally, absolutely, and nowadays, uh, there's no reason not to,
just because cabinets have evolved. I mean they've come a
long long way, which by the way is what we're
talking about Sunday, No when when I'm spending time with
John Cordero from the Kitchen Store, which, by the way,
(13:50):
my favorite cabinet design store in all of southern California.
If you are looking and even thinking about like redoing
your kitchen, I don't care where you live. I don't
I literally do not care where you live in southern California,
you should make the pilgrimage to the Kitchen Store because
you will learn so much about cabinetry there. But yeah,
(14:11):
where are they? Uh they are right off the four
h five in Culver City. Oh good, Okay, that's gonna
be for a lot of people. Super And here's their
number three ten kitchen. That's all you need to know
a kitchen. You call them, you find out, get their hours,
drop in. You don't need an appointment, and uh they're
going to treat you right. You tell them I sent you,
and life is good. But like to your point though, uh,
(14:34):
you want to do cabinets once. You want to do
it right. You want to make sure that you're putting
all the creativity into it that you can, which means
you need advice because the cabinets keep evolving The quality
of baseline cabinets now shock most people when I say,
here is what the bare minimum is that you're looking
for in a cabinet these days. But that's simply because
(14:55):
you know, automated machines, see and see machines, all this
kind of stuff that most cabinet manufacturers have available to
them make old world craftsmanship a very very simple process
for cabinets these days. And so that's what I'm talking.
I'm talking things like dovetail drawers. Do not buy a
cabinet that doesn't have a dovetail drawer, and that sends
(15:16):
a lot of people thinking, what what's a dovetail drawer?
A dovetail drawer is like on the on the edge
of the drawers. When you pull a drawer out and
you find that you see that kind of a funky
little triangular pattern repeating alternating in the corner. That is
where the drawer of themselves have been chisel cut and
(15:36):
routered so that they actually intersect with each other and
interlock without nails, without screws, without glue.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Oh wow, that's interesting.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
That is the best kind of drawer has been around
for over a century. But it used to be something
reserved for luxury cabinets because it would take a guy
to hand do that. I mean, it takes time to
dovetail a drawer. Not anymore, ye with an electronic machine
that just knocks them out and does it with the
(16:05):
you know, with machine precision.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You know, I had to replace again Dean Sharkson with
us the house whisper. We have a lazy Susan corner
cabinet for you know, canned goods and spices, and the
door fell off it and I had to buy new
hinges because they were all rusted. I am still swearing
to put together the double you know, folding door against
(16:28):
a lazy Susan corner unit and to measure it out right,
it took me two days, and I swear to god,
I was going to put that hammer through my skull.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, you know what. It was never a good idea.
And we don't do that anymore. I don't do lazy
in the corner anything good, and we.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Don't do the double door.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
They're the worst. They are the worst. We should talk
about what can happen in a blind corner.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
That's what we call it. When those two base cabinets
connect to each other.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Oh, good.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And you've got that one that goes way back in
the back.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yes, you know.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Usually the options are what most people who have Captain
has been meant years. Yeah, people are like, either they've
got nothing, They've just got a shelf in there and
they've they've lost track of whatever's back there, or you've
got the lazy Susan spinning and that damn double door.
And I'm here to tell you that is not the
way it works these days, not at all.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
All right, hold on one second, we put you on hold.
We'll continue here with Dean Sharp the House Whisper at
six to eight am on Saturday, nine am to noon
on Sunday. So he's gonna be talking cabinets this weekend
with the guys and gals who are over at the
Kitchen Store in Culver City, three ten. Kitchen is their
phone number. That's easy.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Remember you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Dean Sharp is with us as well. He is, he's
got a great show The House Whisper on Saturday six
am to eight am on Sunday from nine am until noon,
and this weekend we'll talk about cabinets cabinets, cabinets, and
you got the guy from the Cabinet the kitchen Store,
from the kitchen Store, the cabinet mecca of Southern California.
(18:11):
John Cordero is going to be with me in studio
for the entire show.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Maybe the only guy in Southern California who knows more
about cabinets than me.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Wow, that's saying a lot.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
So there you go, and it's three one zero kitchen,
three ten kitchen.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
That's a number kitchen store. What is what is the
high and the low end? Let's say, you know, you know,
I'm sure the kitchen store has some high end stuff
if they probably sell all high end stuff, but there
are some there are some hardware stores that sell low
end like press board. What is press board still a
no no in the kitchen because of the moisture, always, always,
(18:48):
and not just the moisture, not just the moisture. It's
it's the moisture. It's the fact that particle board doesn't
receive glue well and particle board doesn't receive fasteners well.
And so the when you've got a cabinet box, and
when we say the box, we're talking about the fundamental
structure of the cabinet, the walls, the bottom, the kick,
all of that. Not the face frame, not the decorative
(19:10):
stuff you're looking at, but the box itself. Right, that
is so critical. It's the foundation of the whole thing.
A cabinet box, I'll just tell you right now that
is not made out of a high quality plywood is
not a cabinet box. You want period, end end of story.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Don't it?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Buy particle board cabinets?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
But is it better? Even a step up from plywood
is solid wood?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
No?
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Actually, really, plywood is the is the top of the line.
Oh good, okay, And people are like, what wait, a
second solid one? And when it comes to decorative things,
sure there's a place for solid woods. But plywood is
a structural wood, and a box is a structural eye.
Yeah we want we want that half inch five eighths
(19:54):
or better. Yet three quarter inch plywood boxes on our
cabinet sides.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
You know you can on this better than I can.
I went in and I just need to replace, you know,
two planks in a redwood fence with the dog ear,
and they were you know, eight dollars each. I remember
when they were dollars twenty nine each. But I can't
imagine what you guys have to pay for plywood nowadays
compared to ten years ago.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Oh my gosh. You know it's like, you know, we
were hoping after COVID. Obviously, during COVID things just went
crazy nuts, right, and we're hoping after COVID, Oh it's
going to drop back down to pre COVID levels. No
it didn't, No, it did not. It dropped down some.
But you know what, that's the thing with price hikes,
you know, let me ask.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
You a question though. I know you say the press
board is no good or what you call laminated pressoartic
particle particle board. Yeah, but when you're talking about lamb beams,
you know, the main beam in your house, that's a
different story.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
That's it's good to have that. No, no, see that's
not particle board. That's not made out of tiny little
pieces of sawdust, that lament, that laminate beam in your house,
that engineer beam, that's basically more that is more akin
to plywood.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Oh I see, I hear solid layers of quality.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Wood that have been joined together for that and lambin
it beams these days, I mean, they are the structural
beam that we're looking for. We can make a lamin
it beam the same size as an old school solid
piece of beam and have it be you know, a
third to twice as strong.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Wow, that's that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Adam Krola had a show on where he'd you know,
buy a house, fix it up and sell it. And
it was for a cable station. I can't remember which
station it was, but I remember he ordered two lamb
beams and they and one was sixteen feet and the
other one was nine feet and they actually cut the
wrong one. They cut the sixteen footer and cut four
feet off it, and he got so effing anchreay.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Whoops.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, because they're expensive. They they can be.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
They can be depending on you know, depending on the application.
But you'd be surprised. You'd be surprised in the big
scheme of thing. They're not like you know, they're not
like solid gold. They were really a good job. Maybe
it was just tough to get one because you know,
you got.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
To order it.
Speaker 6 (22:04):

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Oh yeah, Chappie.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
We had bob By, the Saga's ex wife on. She

But the good news is there's another show tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yes, that's right. And then we have Saturday is the
big Sanitita derby out at sant Anita.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Now you have your kind of plan for Saturday. Are
you going to meet with everybody? You're having a bunch
of KFI listeners with you?
Speaker 4 (23:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
No, no, I mean I'll be I'll be out there there.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
They have, like, you know, eight hundred. I give out
eight hundred tickets. I think I've done my well.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I mean I think with eight hundred all all of
whom listened to the station and recognize you, you'll probably
be saying hello to if you won't.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
You, I'll be out there. I mean if anyone you know.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Are you sequestered in some area where you can't reach you?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
No, I'll be walking around with everybody else around the
You're not in some VP. No, I don't do that. Okay,
I'm on the rail, you know, yelling at horses and jockeys.
I want to be down there because when a jockey
does something stupid like pulls up at the at the
you know, the wrong pole and gets beaten by a
(24:16):
neck because he pulled the horse up to early thinking
he is going to win the race, and then he
gets beat I'd like to be down there so I
can yell and swear at him.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Does that happen a lot?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
No, it happens maybe once a year. Yeah, but I
do light him up for them, you know. I I
turned my wife onto horse racing. We went to losal
one night and the worst thing could happen to her.
She won like seven hundred dollars on a trifecta kick
dass that was on a on a Thursday night. They
(24:48):
were running Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So Thursday night
we went. She won a lot of money. And then
on Friday I call her on the way home from
work and it was like, you know, nine thirty ten
o'clock at night, and and I said, I said, where
are you? It doesn't soundly you're at home. She said,
I'm at Loso And she went by herself to Loso
(25:12):
and she got kicked out. Why because a jockey did
exactly what I said, pulled the horse up too early,
think he was going to win. He got beat at
the wire, and she used every swear word that she
could conjure up and yelled at him and they threw
her out. Yeah, that'll do it. I was never as
(25:33):
proud as I was at time. She got thrown out
of Loso, tossed right out on her ass, get out,
Get the hell out of you.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
That reminds me of the story with yours.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I picked her up on the way home from the
parking lot at Loso.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Your father getting the call when you were well, I
want to say, elementary school or something. Wasn't there something
with you? Something out a racing form or something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Oh, no, it was I went to Santa Anita. I
did very poorly in math in third grade, very very poorly,
and so my dad took me out of school in
third grade and said, hey, we're gonna spend the day
at the racetrack because everything's about math. The weight of
the jockey, the way to the horse, the you know,
(26:18):
the times, the workouts, you know, the the numbers, trifecta, exact,
super effecta. Everything's about numbers. Everything, the show, the windpool,
the odds. Everything at sant Anita is about numbers. Everything.
So it took me there. We spent a day at
sant Anita together. I was in third grade, and he
(26:41):
taught me how to do math at sant Anita, And
since then I've become pretty good at numbers, not not
at anything else, not at reading or writing. But I
can I can do. I can work with numbers. So
the next day at Insino Elementary School, right near Balboa
and Ventura, it was my day to give a speech.
(27:03):
You know, you're you're told three months in advance, you
know what your day is, and you're supposed to give
a speech, and you have three months to work on it. Well,
I had not worked on it at all, and so
Missus Palmer, I'm sorry, Missus Bernstein, said Timmy Conway, that's
what they called me, Mike Tennessee and Matt McDaniel. You
(27:24):
three are up today to give speeches. And I'm like,
oh no, I've got nothing. So I looked at my
backpack and I saw that I had a racing form
and a program from Santa Anita. So when it was
my turn to go up on the chalkboard, I showed
the class how to box an exacta. If you like
the three in the five horse, go three five five
(27:46):
three in box it so you have it both ways
in case and that's first and second place. So if
the horse is come in three five, you win, and
if it comes in five to three you win. You
win either way principal's office. As Bernstein said, you're going
to the principal's office. The principal called my dad at
home and said, teaching your third grader how to box
(28:09):
an EXACTA and taking him out of school for that
is borderline child abuse. And my dad said, let me
tell you what child abuse is. He has it five
to three, it comes in three to five, and he
doesn't have it box. That's child abuse and that's your dad.
(28:30):
It was the greatest comeback ever, your dad. So funny,
smoked her, smoked her. I told you the story about
your dad on New Year's.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I'm sorry it was Christmas Eve. I think at Good
Day La. He came in and uh, it was of
course he was crossing, terrific. Everybody was excited that he
was there. And then on the way out, the executive producer
actually walked him out and said, hey, thanks so much
for just great come back anytime, and he said, how
(29:01):
about tomorrow, and the executive producer laughed tomorrow rolled around
That next morning, got a call from the security guard saying,
Tim conways of the year at the gate, it's brilliant,
just so funny.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Did he go on again? Yeah, so funny. Only your
dad could pull that off. That is right, buddy. I'm
glad you came in. Where is your YouTube show?
Speaker 3 (29:26):
It's the Mark Thompson Show. It's on YouTube. Just subscribe
to it.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
It's free one hundred and sixteen thousand from zero two
years ago.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yeah, really, really good.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
That's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Things are working. It's a lot of politics and stuff.
It's very different kind of thing than what we talk about.
But I really appreciate everybody who has shown support and
shown the love. And we're also on podcast networks. Yeah,
we're on the iHeartRadio network and Spotify and iTunes, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I heard your YouTube show is one of the only
YouTube shows that is in one hundred percent support of
the tariffs? Is that true?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
We're not big on the tariff?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
What does somebody mislead me?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Yeah? I think you might have got some bad information. Hell,
but we try to show the math as to why. Okay,
but we love you, Betty, you're the best. Thanks for
coming in. I'm glad your middle fingers. Okay, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Palla. All Right, Moe Kelly's up next his whole crew
right here on KFI AM six forty Conway, show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now, you can always hear
us live on KFI Am six forty four to seven
pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the
iHeartRadio app.
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
We're watching some TV and and I was saying to Mark,
you know, I don't have that kind of energy anymore.
Like when somebody called me when I was in my
twenties and said, hey, I got a great idea for
a TV show. I'm like, oh, let's go to Arts Deli.
(00:21):
We'll flush it out, we'll see what we can pitch
it to. Well, we'll write out, you know, a two
or three page treatment of what's going to be, and hey,
we can take it to this guy. I knew this
guy at CBS. There's another guy at NBC who's a
guy Deeke Entertainment. Maybe maybe he knows and you know,
you get involved.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Guy calls me up. He goes, I got an idea,
my buddy, good luckause you want to be involved. I said,
I can't get involved with anything. I don't have that
kind of energy anymore. But I remember, I remember I
got fairly friendly with the guy that started I Big Brother.
Remember you know that show Big Brother, of course, and
he was the executive producer Big Brother. Wow. And he
(00:59):
said to me one He goes, if you ever any ideas?
You know, we're always looking for ideas. I said, okay,
And I never bothered him. I just thought he probably
said that to me to be courteous. And then two
years go by and then a guy who I'm friends
with said, hey, I got an idea for a TV
show and I want to pitch it to the guy
who runs Big Brother. And I said, oh, I know
the guy runs Big Brother. He goes, oh, will you
(01:21):
come with us and pitch this with us? I said,
I'd want to do that. I said, I'll set you up.
I'll set you up, but I don't want to go
do it. I don't want any piece of it. You
just do it, you know, by yourself. So I called
the guy at Big Brother. He says hey, he says,
can you pitch it to my assistant first, and if
he likes it, then we'll all have a big meeting.
I said okay. And then the guy from Big Brother says, hey,
would you come in with them? I feel more comfortable
(01:42):
if you came in with them. And it was on
the lot over at Keko, you know, at the CBS lot,
and I said, ah, okay, I'll go in with him.
So I called the guy. I said, Hey, the guy
from Big Brother wants to meet you and we're going
in on Tuesday at noon. Can you make it? He goes, yeah, absolutely,
So I go in ontoday at noon. They pitched the
idea to the assistant of this guy who runs Big
(02:04):
Brother and the guy goes, oh. He goes, I like
the idea. It's interesting. Maybe we can do this with it.
We can get this person Paul, and he really liked
the idea. And then he points to me and he goes,
why are you here?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I just love that?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And I said I didn't want to go. I don't
want to be involved. You both asked me to go,
and I showed up. This is the last place I
want to be good. And then I got I got,
you know, s thrown in my face. God, but I
bet that happens a lot, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
All right, I got to try to win the sanity
to Derby on Saturday to try to make break even
for the year. And there's no better handicapper than our
next guest, Red ziggin Bush. Red, how you Bud?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Hey, I'm Red. Huh.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Well, look I text you the other night and I actually,
you know, the tea's very close to the R on
the keyboard, and I actually plant pressed R. And I
think Red zigg and Bush is a better handicapper named
than Ted.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Hey, it'll bring me luck Ted Ted.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Zigg and Bush for many, many years, you may remember,
I know Krozer used him to try to get the
girls did love songs? I mean, yeah, love songs on the.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Coast, right, Yeah, that works out for us.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, And Krozier would call he would you call Ted.
I'd walk into the studio either Ted or Karen or
you know back then, Yeah, and say, hey, I'm going
to be out tonight with a gal. Will you do
a dedication where she can hear it?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
But that happened more than you know.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Krozer used everything he could to get those gales.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
You worked at Coast from nineteen eighty two to twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yes, sir, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Is that incredible. That's thirty eight years.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I'm just looking at it here on LinkedIn. It's crazy,
but that's true. Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
I was the last one hired when they started November
of eighty two, I joined they had an opening, uh
and I was the last one hired. And I was
the last one of the original guys to leave in
twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
So, wow, is that thirty eight?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Last and last?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Is it thirty eight?
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I think it's that. That's right.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah, was that quickly? And now you let you guys
talk horses. But was that station Coast always like what
it is or through the years, or was there a
format the formats kind of change at all?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Or oh, let me tell you.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
When we took over, they had been playing Mancini and
Montovanni and stuff like that, right, And for the first
couple of months we got the most angry phone calls
from ninety year old people going where's my Mancini?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Because it was mellow pop? Is that what was kind
of what you guys brought in?
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I don't think it was even pop when we still Yeah,
when we took over, the playlist was pretty big.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
In the early days, we.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Played a little bit of country, a little bit of
soft oh everything from Linda Ronstad, Neil Diamond, things like that.
But then over the years, you know, it slowly progressed.
We picked up the tempo and uh, I think it
was early nineties we became the number one station out
of everybody in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It still is, and yeah, yeah, you know, nobody touches
that station around Christmas either. When when they flipped to
Christmas Man, they become the station where you hear it
in every parking lot.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
And people thought that was a crazy idea. It's like, what,
you're going to play nothing but Christmas, and you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
But what is their slogan now eighty the music of eighties,
nineties and today?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
No? Is that right? Or is that is it that
they do now?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I thought Emerson, I think we're asking the wrong guy.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
You always in the family, You always worked at.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
The same airshift, ted more or less? Or when were
you on?
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Oh no, in the in the later years, I was
all over the place. I mean literally, I didn't When
the phone rang, it was like, oh, you know, three
o'clock in the morning. They asked me to come in
and do the morning show, so I was. I probably
was heard more between two thousand and six and twenty
twenty than the nighttime. I mean I did the nighttime
(06:27):
thing for about twenty years of ten p to two A.
But yeah, I did eight weeks of the morning show
in two thousand and eight, so you know, I was,
I was filling in there more than anywhere, and we
had a lot of fun. I mean, it was it
was a blast.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It was a bad I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
And now it's called feel good La?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Is that what it is? St Stephani? I don't know
feel good La LA's feel good stations? Oh la, feel
good stations? Oh man, that's why I couldn't make it
that station. I couldn't get that right.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Yeah, well, believe me, we were corrected more than once
in what we were saying.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So yeah, welcome to the club. Hey Stephan, so ted
you are the world's greatest handy copper. How do you
see the san Anita Derby playing out? And how can
I win a couple of bucks?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Okay? So you know it's only a five horse field?
Oh you think so?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Because I can't. Well, if it was a two horse field,
I would be complicated.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
For me, not money wise.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
But so journal journalism is going to be the favorite.
Journalism is on the rail, which means you know it'll
be the number one horse coming out of the gate.
And We'spolis the jockey, McCarthy is the trainer. Good combination
and should be the favorite. I mean, based on everything
(07:50):
on overall points, looking at everything considered, journalism is by
far the best, and the morning line six to five.
If you can get nine to five, it's going to
be a bargain if you can, if you can get
something like.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
That, right, But would you?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Would you? And the pick six.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
That's a tough one. I mean, if you're going to
single somebody, I guess that would be the one to single.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
It's going to be very tough for citizen bull to
uh to live up to journalism's numbers.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Journalism has the speed, Journalism has the points overall the
The thing I'm I'm concerned about is the pace of
the race because you've got Barns in there. That is
the number four horse, and Barnes has a ton of
early speed. It's just a question of how far is
(08:49):
he going to be able to Can he take it
a mile and an eighth?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Some people say, well, no, he proved last time he
can't because he got you know, he got me by
journalism last time, right at a mile in the sixteenth.
But never underestimate, you know, second time around at a
distance like that, and Barnes could end up being the
real value I mean because Barnes could go off at
like three to one.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, we've got to take a break. But I'm gonna
tell I'm gonna say journalism's your number one pick.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Then I would say on top, yeah, and and have
Citizen Bowl baasa Barnes. They're they're the you know also
and it's just going to be the luck of the
drawers to who's second. But Barnes could steal it. I mean,
if anything would be an upset, I mean would be Barnes.
I would think at a good price. I don't see
(09:42):
Citizen Bowl beating journalism, but hey, it's horse racing.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I think I got to find what we need to
take a break. Means, so Ed can I can people
still sign up with you on on the email list?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Yeah, and I will do my best to get you
added in time. You know, last time we got blasted
and it took a little while to everybody because.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I just emailed what's the what's the email address?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
It's Ted Ziggy t E ed ziggy z I g
g y so Ted Ziggy at aol dot com.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Buddy.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I will see you out there. You going out on Saturday.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I'll probably go to my local track. I'm closer to
Los l and okay, probably watch it there.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right, I appreciate it. Man, you're the best, and
we'll get him on Saturday. Hey, I hope so okay,
thank you so fun? All right, thanks Ben?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Ted zig and Bush. He likes the number one horse
in the sanity to Derby. It's Conway show. We're gonna
I think we're now on Neil. I'm sorry. Dean Sharp
up next? Yeah, Dean right, I love that guy.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
kf I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Dean Sharp, who's on every Saturday morning from six to
eight am and Sunday from nine am until noon. It's
Mark Thompson's brother's favorite show. It is true Sharp the
house wheresper how you Bob? You know, every day you
wake up above ground, it's a good day. Yes, that's
that's a great theory, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And I don't mean to quibble with the guy who
I have a ment respect for. Dean Sharp.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh no, here we go.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I always feel like if you have to default to
well it's a great day, because I'm alive, things may
not be going that well. You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
I feel like, you know, you can read into that
anything you want. Okay, that's right, you're right.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
But what about that Beatles song He's it's a lucky
man who's made the grave? Isn't there something to say.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
About that's that haunting lyric? Exactly?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I mean like when I when I hear like an
old friend had passed away, My theory is how come
he got to go?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Oh, don't say that.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Really don't believe that. That's right? And most of the
people listening to you phonies, just don't say it on
the air, all right, and you don't take pitch meetings, anybody.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Learn That's right?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I am burning out? All right, let's talk cabinets.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I don't know Dean, if you've seen this online, but
there's a video of and I hate to say this
because it sounds sexist, but there's a video of about
nine different women trying to hang cabinets up in the kitchen,
and they all turn into disasters. What they fall, They fall,
the cabinets fall, and sometimes they got hurt. But watching
(12:26):
people try to hang cabinets by themselves is always interesting,
it is.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
And you know, we're just gonna say that that was
a coincidence that they were all women in video, because
I'll tell you this, I've seen that kind of disaster
exhibited from.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Through the year. All right.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
But you know what, and you know, the old days
you needed to at least two guys to hang a cabinet.
But now with those hydraulic lifts and the laser you know,
and the laser levelers, you can almost do it on
your own. If you have expensive equipment.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
No, yeah, yeah, if you've got the if you've got
the quipan, you probably But you know what, I have
yet to see, and having done this for many a
moon now, I have yet to see a professional cabinet
company just send one guy, right, You're right. It's just
you know, it's always it's always a pair.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, that's always a mom and pop guy that comes
out by the apprentice. That's the way it works, right
in the construction. But is it Obviously you want cabinets.
You want to do cabinets once in your life and
not two or three times.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Ideally, absolutely, and nowadays, uh, there's no reason not to,
just because cabinets have evolved. I mean they've come a
long long way, which by the way is what we're
talking about Sunday, No when when I'm spending time with
John Cordero from the Kitchen Store, which, by the way,
(13:50):
my favorite cabinet design store in all of southern California.
If you are looking and even thinking about like redoing
your kitchen, I don't care where you live. I don't
I literally do not care where you live in southern California,
you should make the pilgrimage to the Kitchen Store because
you will learn so much about cabinetry there. But yeah,
(14:11):
where are they? Uh they are right off the four
h five in Culver City. Oh good, Okay, that's gonna
be for a lot of people. Super And here's their
number three ten kitchen. That's all you need to know
a kitchen. You call them, you find out, get their hours,
drop in. You don't need an appointment, and uh they're
going to treat you right. You tell them I sent you,
and life is good. But like to your point though, uh,
(14:34):
you want to do cabinets once. You want to do
it right. You want to make sure that you're putting
all the creativity into it that you can, which means
you need advice because the cabinets keep evolving The quality
of baseline cabinets now shock most people when I say,
here is what the bare minimum is that you're looking
for in a cabinet these days. But that's simply because
(14:55):
you know, automated machines, see and see machines, all this
kind of stuff that most cabinet manufacturers have available to
them make old world craftsmanship a very very simple process
for cabinets these days. And so that's what I'm talking.
I'm talking things like dovetail drawers. Do not buy a
cabinet that doesn't have a dovetail drawer, and that sends
(15:16):
a lot of people thinking, what what's a dovetail drawer?
A dovetail drawer is like on the on the edge
of the drawers. When you pull a drawer out and
you find that you see that kind of a funky
little triangular pattern repeating alternating in the corner. That is
where the drawer of themselves have been chisel cut and
(15:36):
routered so that they actually intersect with each other and
interlock without nails, without screws, without glue.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Oh wow, that's interesting.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
That is the best kind of drawer has been around
for over a century. But it used to be something
reserved for luxury cabinets because it would take a guy
to hand do that. I mean, it takes time to
dovetail a drawer. Not anymore, ye with an electronic machine
that just knocks them out and does it with the
(16:05):
you know, with machine precision.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You know, I had to replace again Dean Sharkson with
us the house whisper. We have a lazy Susan corner
cabinet for you know, canned goods and spices, and the
door fell off it and I had to buy new
hinges because they were all rusted. I am still swearing
to put together the double you know, folding door against
(16:28):
a lazy Susan corner unit and to measure it out right,
it took me two days, and I swear to god,
I was going to put that hammer through my skull.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Yeah, yeah, you know what. It was never a good idea.
And we don't do that anymore. I don't do lazy
in the corner anything good, and we.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Don't do the double door.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
They're the worst. They are the worst. We should talk
about what can happen in a blind corner.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
That's what we call it. When those two base cabinets
connect to each other.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Oh, good.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And you've got that one that goes way back in
the back.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yes, you know.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Usually the options are what most people who have Captain
has been meant years. Yeah, people are like, either they've
got nothing, They've just got a shelf in there and
they've they've lost track of whatever's back there, or you've
got the lazy Susan spinning and that damn double door.
And I'm here to tell you that is not the
way it works these days, not at all.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
All right, hold on one second, we put you on hold.
We'll continue here with Dean Sharp the House Whisper at
six to eight am on Saturday, nine am to noon
on Sunday. So he's gonna be talking cabinets this weekend
with the guys and gals who are over at the
Kitchen Store in Culver City, three ten. Kitchen is their
phone number. That's easy.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Remember you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Dean Sharp is with us as well. He is, he's
got a great show The House Whisper on Saturday six
am to eight am on Sunday from nine am until noon,
and this weekend we'll talk about cabinets cabinets, cabinets, and
you got the guy from the Cabinet the kitchen Store,
from the kitchen Store, the cabinet mecca of Southern California.
(18:11):
John Cordero is going to be with me in studio
for the entire show.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Maybe the only guy in Southern California who knows more
about cabinets than me.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Wow, that's saying a lot.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
So there you go, and it's three one zero kitchen,
three ten kitchen.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
That's a number kitchen store. What is what is the
high and the low end? Let's say, you know, you know,
I'm sure the kitchen store has some high end stuff
if they probably sell all high end stuff, but there
are some there are some hardware stores that sell low
end like press board. What is press board still a
no no in the kitchen because of the moisture, always, always,
(18:48):
and not just the moisture, not just the moisture. It's
it's the moisture. It's the fact that particle board doesn't
receive glue well and particle board doesn't receive fasteners well.
And so the when you've got a cabinet box, and
when we say the box, we're talking about the fundamental
structure of the cabinet, the walls, the bottom, the kick,
all of that. Not the face frame, not the decorative
(19:10):
stuff you're looking at, but the box itself. Right, that
is so critical. It's the foundation of the whole thing.
A cabinet box, I'll just tell you right now that
is not made out of a high quality plywood is
not a cabinet box. You want period, end end of story.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Don't it?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Buy particle board cabinets?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
But is it better? Even a step up from plywood
is solid wood?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
No?
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Actually, really, plywood is the is the top of the line.
Oh good, okay, And people are like, what wait, a
second solid one? And when it comes to decorative things,
sure there's a place for solid woods. But plywood is
a structural wood, and a box is a structural eye.
Yeah we want we want that half inch five eighths
(19:54):
or better. Yet three quarter inch plywood boxes on our
cabinet sides.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
You know you can on this better than I can.
I went in and I just need to replace, you know,
two planks in a redwood fence with the dog ear,
and they were you know, eight dollars each. I remember
when they were dollars twenty nine each. But I can't
imagine what you guys have to pay for plywood nowadays
compared to ten years ago.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Oh my gosh. You know it's like, you know, we
were hoping after COVID. Obviously, during COVID things just went
crazy nuts, right, and we're hoping after COVID, Oh it's
going to drop back down to pre COVID levels. No
it didn't, No, it did not. It dropped down some.
But you know what, that's the thing with price hikes,
you know, let me ask.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
You a question though. I know you say the press
board is no good or what you call laminated pressoartic
particle particle board. Yeah, but when you're talking about lamb beams,
you know, the main beam in your house, that's a
different story.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
That's it's good to have that. No, no, see that's
not particle board. That's not made out of tiny little
pieces of sawdust, that lament, that laminate beam in your house,
that engineer beam, that's basically more that is more akin
to plywood.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Oh I see, I hear solid layers of quality.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Wood that have been joined together for that and lambin
it beams these days, I mean, they are the structural
beam that we're looking for. We can make a lamin
it beam the same size as an old school solid
piece of beam and have it be you know, a
third to twice as strong.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Wow, that's that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Adam Krola had a show on where he'd you know,
buy a house, fix it up and sell it. And
it was for a cable station. I can't remember which
station it was, but I remember he ordered two lamb
beams and they and one was sixteen feet and the
other one was nine feet and they actually cut the
wrong one. They cut the sixteen footer and cut four
feet off it, and he got so effing anchreay.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Whoops.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, because they're expensive. They they can be.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
They can be depending on you know, depending on the application.
But you'd be surprised. You'd be surprised in the big
scheme of thing. They're not like you know, they're not
like solid gold. They were really a good job. Maybe
it was just tough to get one because you know,
you got.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
To order it.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
You know what the thing is. It made for good TV. Yeah,
I made great, great TV. It really did.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
All right, people are gonna listen on Saturday and Sunday
you'll talk about cabinets. I'm sure you'll talk about many,
many more things. People love the program man, Thank you, bro,
I appreciate it. And the kitchen store. I love the
number three one, Oh kitchen. How do you beat that?
You can't? Okay, all right, thanks Dean Sharp. Everybody, it's
Conway and Thompson.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
What a show Man, Almost too much show.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
We did a lot to it, Tim, We did a lot.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
We had Alex Stone on.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
We had Alex Michaelson, he popped on for a little bit.
He did Jay Leno.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
I don't think Alex or Jay We're here.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, big show, okay, Petro, some money came on.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Oh wow, kind of all washes together.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Red Zig and Bush, yeah, Ted Tedig and Bush. We
had a Chappion, the guy who runs san Anita.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Oh yeah, Chappie.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
We had bob By, the Saga's ex wife on. She
was great. Yeah, it was a big show. Yeah, I'm
sad you missed it. Sad you missed it. Yeah, we
had a baby.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
But the good news is there's another show tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yes, that's right. And then we have Saturday is the
big Sanitita derby out at sant Anita.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Now you have your kind of plan for Saturday. Are
you going to meet with everybody? You're having a bunch
of KFI listeners with you?
Speaker 4 (23:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
No, no, I mean I'll be I'll be out there there.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
They have, like, you know, eight hundred. I give out
eight hundred tickets. I think I've done my well.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I mean I think with eight hundred all all of
whom listened to the station and recognize you, you'll probably
be saying hello to if you won't.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
You, I'll be out there. I mean if anyone you know.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Are you sequestered in some area where you can't reach you?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
No, I'll be walking around with everybody else around the
You're not in some VP. No, I don't do that. Okay,
I'm on the rail, you know, yelling at horses and jockeys.
I want to be down there because when a jockey
does something stupid like pulls up at the at the
you know, the wrong pole and gets beaten by a
(24:16):
neck because he pulled the horse up to early thinking
he is going to win the race, and then he
gets beat I'd like to be down there so I
can yell and swear at him.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Does that happen a lot?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
No, it happens maybe once a year. Yeah, but I
do light him up for them, you know. I I
turned my wife onto horse racing. We went to losal
one night and the worst thing could happen to her.
She won like seven hundred dollars on a trifecta kick
dass that was on a on a Thursday night. They
(24:48):
were running Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So Thursday night
we went. She won a lot of money. And then
on Friday I call her on the way home from
work and it was like, you know, nine thirty ten
o'clock at night, and and I said, I said, where
are you? It doesn't soundly you're at home. She said,
I'm at Loso And she went by herself to Loso
(25:12):
and she got kicked out. Why because a jockey did
exactly what I said, pulled the horse up too early,
think he was going to win. He got beat at
the wire, and she used every swear word that she
could conjure up and yelled at him and they threw
her out. Yeah, that'll do it. I was never as
(25:33):
proud as I was at time. She got thrown out
of Loso, tossed right out on her ass, get out,
Get the hell out of you.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
That reminds me of the story with yours.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I picked her up on the way home from the
parking lot at Loso.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Your father getting the call when you were well, I
want to say, elementary school or something. Wasn't there something
with you? Something out a racing form or something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Oh, no, it was I went to Santa Anita. I
did very poorly in math in third grade, very very poorly,
and so my dad took me out of school in
third grade and said, hey, we're gonna spend the day
at the racetrack because everything's about math. The weight of
the jockey, the way to the horse, the you know,
(26:18):
the times, the workouts, you know, the the numbers, trifecta, exact,
super effecta. Everything's about numbers. Everything, the show, the windpool,
the odds. Everything at sant Anita is about numbers. Everything.
So it took me there. We spent a day at
sant Anita together. I was in third grade, and he
(26:41):
taught me how to do math at sant Anita, And
since then I've become pretty good at numbers, not not
at anything else, not at reading or writing. But I
can I can do. I can work with numbers. So
the next day at Insino Elementary School, right near Balboa
and Ventura, it was my day to give a speech.
(27:03):
You know, you're you're told three months in advance, you
know what your day is, and you're supposed to give
a speech, and you have three months to work on it. Well,
I had not worked on it at all, and so
Missus Palmer, I'm sorry, Missus Bernstein, said Timmy Conway, that's
what they called me, Mike Tennessee and Matt McDaniel. You
(27:24):
three are up today to give speeches. And I'm like,
oh no, I've got nothing. So I looked at my
backpack and I saw that I had a racing form
and a program from Santa Anita. So when it was
my turn to go up on the chalkboard, I showed
the class how to box an exacta. If you like
the three in the five horse, go three five five
(27:46):
three in box it so you have it both ways
in case and that's first and second place. So if
the horse is come in three five, you win, and
if it comes in five to three you win. You
win either way principal's office. As Bernstein said, you're going
to the principal's office. The principal called my dad at
home and said, teaching your third grader how to box
(28:09):
an EXACTA and taking him out of school for that
is borderline child abuse. And my dad said, let me
tell you what child abuse is. He has it five
to three, it comes in three to five, and he
doesn't have it box. That's child abuse and that's your dad.
(28:30):
It was the greatest comeback ever, your dad. So funny,
smoked her, smoked her. I told you the story about
your dad on New Year's.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I'm sorry it was Christmas Eve. I think at Good
Day La. He came in and uh, it was of
course he was crossing, terrific. Everybody was excited that he
was there. And then on the way out, the executive producer
actually walked him out and said, hey, thanks so much
for just great come back anytime, and he said, how
(29:01):
about tomorrow, and the executive producer laughed tomorrow rolled around
That next morning, got a call from the security guard saying,
Tim conways of the year at the gate, it's brilliant,
just so funny.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Did he go on again? Yeah, so funny. Only your
dad could pull that off. That is right, buddy. I'm
glad you came in. Where is your YouTube show?
Speaker 3 (29:26):

Speaker 3 (29:58):
We're not big on the tariff?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
