(00:00):
It's kf I am six forty andyou're listening to the Conway Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Right now, wood He's here from The Woody Show.
Hi you Bob. Yeah, let'sturn your mic down there we go
all right, uh yeah. Thefirst thing Stefoo's what oh my you had
on the mic? Sometimes I'm likethat. Nah, Stephush is the biggest

(00:23):
fan in the world. Yeah,he leaves. He calls in sick.
When you have concerts to go toyour content, you go for me.
I don't want to go. Halfthe time. He's extremely nervous that you're
here. What he's sweating and he'she's throwing up. He's realized that this
is your setup. This is prettynice. You know. You know somebody
else said it. I don't knowwhether it was I think it was who

(00:45):
is the Sea Bess? I thinkit was Seas who said he came in
and he goes, where's everybody?Yeah? I go, what do you
mean? Yeah? He goes,well, what he's got like nine guys
in. Now there's people coming inand out the entire time. This is
great, Like you have your ownspace's room for activity. Pretty it's pretty
nice. Dude. There's a guy, this weird dude that I didn't work
with him, but he worked atone of the other stations, and he

(01:06):
would be set up in one ofthe other studios by himself Jonathan brand Myers
B yeah, yeah, yeah,and he like this legendary Chicago radio guy,
and he would basically be in thislittle hole with a shower curtain behind
him, like the wizard, sonobody could see what was going on,
Like, how do you work likethat? And everybody else is like in
a different studio, why you likea germophobe or something. I noticed that

(01:29):
everything was sprayed down before I camein here. I like the fact that,
like when we get a new producer. We had Kiki and then Lindsay
and the new producers, and thenLindsay's so sweet. She came in.
She goes, what can I doto help the show out? And I
thought, all that's nice. Youknow new producer Sanitize. I said,
I was a big I said,just don't go through that door and you'll
be cool. Really yeah, andshe and she said, what is that

(01:49):
about? Like, are you Iwhen like if Bellio's in here or your
germophobe? No, no, notgermophobe. It's that you poopet work.
Now you like what I'm saying,Like, are you like really, I
don't ask a work. I trynot to. But you know, every
once in a while, you knowthe but you will if you have to
the you know, the inmates breakoutevery once in a while, right,

(02:09):
right. But I remember Howard Sternwhere he hired it when he went to
his new show on satellite, andhe hired a woman who was a big
NBC producer and hired her way fromNBC. She was a big political producer
at NBC. Hired her on theStern Show, paid her million dollars a
year, twice what she was getting. And then she was come on one
day and she wasn't around. Theyfound her in the bathroom in a stall

(02:30):
going number two. Yeah, sothe intro to her for the rest of
the time she was there, Sylvia, she takes asse at work, dude.
So I worked at k Rock inNew York years ago, and that's
where Howard did his show from whenhe was still on terrestrial, right,
And so that was the place togo, Like for those who knew how
to get into the studio. Hehad his own bathroom in his studio that

(02:52):
was just for him. It wasit was really the king's throne. You
should demand that. And so yeah, well the Ryan Seacrest bathroom upstairs,
nobody ever uses it. Everybody's afraid, but it's great. The only thing
is, if you're a person usesa lot of TPE sometimes it's it's not
like one of the ones that wehave in some of these other ones will
flush anything, right. That one'sa little slower, more like your homecomode.

(03:14):
But the thing in the Howard Sternstudio was that the back of the
door was all these like nudes thatlisteners had said, that's great. Yeah,
so for those who knew that wasthe place to go because you knew
you weren't going to be disturbed,and then you just didn't talk about it.
That great. Really had to addFrank the whole situation because, uh,
like if Howard found out because heis very particular about like nobody touches

(03:37):
his stuff, nobody whatever. Butyeah, now people can touch and commit
to do anything. Okay. Ialso thinks very lonely. I also think
that they don't like to be inhere because they're all talkers, you know.
Okay, they can't stop for tenminutes and just put the headphones on
and write. But aren't you talking? But they are also as well,
but they're they're doing. They gottheir own show going on in there.

(03:58):
Gosh a lot of times it isactually a better than this one. Okay,
anyway, I kind of like this, but I didn't want I did
want to say off the top,thank you for you know you uh you.
You guys had been really great aboutmentioning, and we do it a
cross brodiay, we do the samething. We're fans of your show.
Apparently some of your people are.I don't think you're a fan, but
like some other people on the showare fans of our show. I'm I'm
I'm sat Burritos breakfast Burritos up andit was signed Tim Conway Junior. But

(04:20):
yet you had no idea that theywere sent up the very much well I
had. I almost had a handin it. I knew that I knew
the cart they were using. Yeahthat's about it, Like, oh my
god, Jim Burritos, thank you. I know it's going to get that
before. But that's another rule aroundhere is my name's got to go on
top of everything. But I lovethe fact that now you were born and
raised in Saint Louis. No,he was not born, but you spent

(04:43):
a lot of time Saint Louis.Yes, did you ever? Did you
know a guy named Dick Wilson?Uh No, he was a radio guy
in Saint Louis. No before waitbefore your time? Then wait, how
did you or how hell do youthink I am? I'd say you're forty
five close forty seven before? Okay, here, all right, yeah,
I miss it's Ray's age by alot. You did. Yeah, yeah,
I guess her skin is fantastic.She stayed out of the sun.

(05:06):
I heard, And I'll probably getin trouble with this because I've been asked
not to mention a certain thing.What I heard that that Ravey asked and
talked about me so much you threwa fax machine at her and she quit
incorrect. Okay, No, thatthat that part is not true. That's
not true. No, that isnot true. And I know what you're
getting at. A lot of peoplewant to know Ravy was on my show

(05:28):
for twenty two years, a friendof mine for thirty plus years, and
there's a lot of questions. Butthe point that we're at right now,
I've already given everybody the inside andhow I feel or where I'm at with
everything from my personal side. Theonly thing that's left to be told at
this point. It's kind of likethe nitty gritty stuff and kind of really
what led to her not being onthe show at this point. At this

(05:48):
point, the stuff that's to betold is her business, and so I'm
at this point, I'm fine withsharing any of it, right, but
I'm going to follow Raby's lead,right cause I've heard a couple of things.
I know she's She's still not spokento me. Oh is that right?
Yeah? Yeah, which I hopeat some point that changes. If
it doesn't, I mean what,you know, what what can I do

(06:08):
about that? And I really dohope that changes, because I've always I
think it will, and felt abouther like you feel about a sister.
But right, but you know,it's just a really weird situation because I
understand I went through at Steck learnMark and Brian went through it. Yeah,
you know, Mark and Brian MarkThompson has become a really good friend
of mine. Yeah, me too, Yeah, And so when things were
going on, I kind of confidedin him and I got a lot of

(06:30):
I got a lot of insight fromhim, you know, because I mean,
the guys what did mornings in LosAngeles for twenty seven years? A
lot of parallels and situations. AndI talked to a few other people,
Elvis Duran who works for our companyin New York, Charlotte Mage and the
God from the Breakfast Park in NewYork. You know, they've made big
changes on the show. And I'vealways been so resistant to change. But
like, at the end of theday, it's a business, sure,

(06:50):
and you know there's uh, there'sthere's things, and you know this decisions
had have to be made. Andbut you know so that Mark Thom's and
is a great guy. He isMark Thompson. I'd love Mark Thompson.
Brian from The Mark and Brian Showhates me. Well, he sounds like
a wacko. I don't really Idon't know him at all. I don't
know either, but yeah, buthe hates me because I do. Well,

(07:13):
let me tell you if I heard. Bien's kind of full of himself,
thinks he's a big TV star,doesn't really care about radio even though
he made millions doing it. Okay, you got to get off the fence.
If you're gonna be on the show, you can't just you know,
he can't be on the fence andlove everybody. Okay, show what he's
with us from the Woody Show onninety eight point seven ninety eight point seven
in the morning and and syndicated.Yes, let me tell you one that

(07:35):
I drove all the way back downhere to be on the show. If
you're about to go to commercial breakand send me home, I'm gonna know
his Can you stay for the hour? I drove all the way from Stevenson
Ranch be here in person for you. Well, can you stay for the
hour? Sure? All right,and then we'll walk to wait off the
traffic. Now anyway, we'll watchBiden together. Okay, all right.

(07:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway's Junior ondemand from KFI AM six forty. At
five o'clock, we have President JoeBiden speaking. So you may got to
push app on your phone. Sotune into KFI wherever you are and listen
to Joe Biden what He's with us. It's like listening to my dad,

(08:20):
like try to explain technology of me. Push app. You gotta you got
to push on the end is howthat works. To him. It's a
push notification that says, hey,this is what's Yeah, big break,
big breaking news, buddy. Iam a I came to the game late,

(08:41):
old you are, but I remembermy dad. I sent my dad
up. My dad, I wastyping on a manual typewriter until twenty ten.
Manual typewriter, which is too latefor that, but go ahead,
way too late. So we wentto the stationary store and my dad said,
I gotta buy the ink ribbon formy typewriter. And the guy says,

(09:03):
we haven't sold those in thirty years. And he says, my daddy,
He goes, You've got to goto a you know, garage sales
in the valley and look for it. So my dad puts a hat on
and I'm driving my dad around.We're stopping at garage sales and he's walking
around them like, hey, areyou Tim Conway. Yeah. Do you
guys have a manual typewriter? Yeah, we do, there's no ribbon on.
We go to the next one andI said, Dad, you got
to get a computer. You know, it's time. You're walking around garage

(09:24):
sales looking for an ink for yourmanual typewriter. I get him a computer,
and I've never heard him swear inmy life until he got a computer.
The MFS and the C and theB and the whole run. I
know all those words. Yep.Yeah, I mean I'm sure you went
through it, you know, withyour dad or grandfather. You know,
you hook him up with technology andthey don't get it. And there's people

(09:46):
on my show that don't understand it, like this one guy on our show,
Greg, he doesn't understand it.That's great. How old is he?
Greg? He's fifty two? Ohhe should get it. Yeah,
yeah, he should get it.Do you miss the smaller market because he
went to thirty five sharing Saint Louisand you know they love you know,
radio in Saint Louis and you probablycouldn't go anywhere without being mombed. Well.

(10:07):
I got into radio just because Iloved how it worked. I like
the idea of how it worked thatmore of like orson Well wore of the
world storytelling kind of thing. Iwanted to know why songs sounded better when
I heard him on the radio thanthey did when I played him on my
own, like you know, boomboxor whatever it was at your time,
and so that's why I gotten READII didn't getting radio for the other stuff.
I don't care about bands, Idon't care about music, I don't

(10:28):
care about meeting people. I don'tcare about like anybody knowing who you are.
I just thought it was really coolthe way it worked. Yeah,
I loved it and the storytelling aspectof it. So that's that's that's why.
But like you know, I'm atthis point I think, just like
anybody else, like, I'm justmore interested in being in a place where
I'm left alone and I can justdo what I, you know, think
is the right thing to do.And oh my god, yeah, I'm

(10:50):
not micromanaged at all. Every oncein a while, they're opinion asked about
something really stupid, right, youknow. And you know, but as
long as you're getting results, likein any business, as long as you're
getting results, they'll leave you aloneand they'll take some of the credit for
it or all the credit for it. But if you follow I was found
that the times that I followed somebodyelse's stupid plan, it's never that their
plans sucked, it's that you didn'texecute it the right way. Right.

(11:11):
You have a lot of talented peopleon that show that Sea Bass I'm addicted
is insane. His cart nark stuff. Yeah, the people on your show,
do they know our show at all? Because if they don't, I
can kind of give some context orbackground. So just do it, because
I don't know how many people listento this show also listen to you.
Yeah. So we're on ninety eightseven in the morning. It's called The

(11:33):
Woody Show. We're syndicated nationally.We've been here in LA for ten years
and it's really just a group ofpeople that I've gotten to hire, met
people at different stages, and SeaBass is one of these guys that I
met along the way, and Iknew this guy was nuts. Like he's
super talented, but he's super weird, right, like the kind of guy
that he's a great person to workwith, but like, you know,

(11:54):
you're just never going to be like, you know, at his house for
Thanksgiving kind of thing. You know, he's one of those guys. But
then I have other people on theshow, this guy Greg, who I've
known for a long time. He'sa very complicated dude. Uh. Like,
for example, you know, wewere living and working in San Francisco
at the time, and at thetime he was in the closet. Still
he's an out and proud gay man, had a longtime partner now, but

(12:18):
at the time he was married toa woman. It was kind of like
a dude in a lot of ways, so maybe that was like a red
flag. She was very aggressive withme. She was always like yelling at
me about something Greg didn't have,like parking in the building. And and
so Greg was more concerned in SanFrancisco about people knowing that he was gay.
But he was a very outspoken conservative. Oh is that right, Yeah,

(12:39):
that's enough needle in the Bay Area, right, So he's he's a
complicated dude. And then you know, there's another guy who works on my
show Menace, who as smart ashe is with things like you know,
push yeah, the push at andthings like that, like the guy can't
read, the guy can't spell,but he's you know, a really hard
work he's a really hard worker,and like he's super smart about the stuff

(13:03):
that he really knows about. Andthen everything else is like there's only so
much room for stuff. So youknow, we just have the show where
we discussed different things we're not I'mglad Morgan worked out for you. Morgan
is great. So Morgan used towork down here, and when I had
an opening for our producers, yourprogram director, Robin suggested her and I
talked to him like, this chick'snuts too. Yeah, she's crazy.
She's more likable than Sea Bass.Ye. She came in. Morgan came

(13:26):
in one day hungover, beyond hungover. I mean, you know, couldn't
even see in the afternoon. Inthe afternoon, yeah, still hungover,
like you know, like and wewere on at six pm. Yeah,
still hungover. So she came in. She I think she went to the
bathroom and threw up a couple oftimes. So we had a couple of
guests come in and they wanted totake a tour of the fourth and fifth
floor, and I said, hey, Morgan, why don't you take this,

(13:48):
uh these guys on a tour?And She's like, what the f
And and she took him on anhour and a half tour, hour and
a half tour, completely hungover ofthe entire building. What takes an hour
and a half. They wanted tosee everything, They talk to everybody,
they wanted to see. Everything wasgreat. Yeah, on our show,
this is Kiki. Kiki is oneof our newer producers and hold on something

(14:09):
odd about her? She's getting married. Yeah, and get this nineteen seventy
eight around here to a man?What Yeah? Wow? Is that wild?
I would have pegged you for alesbian. Well, she doesn't keep
it. She doesn't keep kidding.She doesn't keep her relationship from her parents.
Your parents know you're heterosexual, right, yeah? And you told them

(14:33):
that, okay, and they're coolwith that, and they don't they tell
their friends, so they don't theytell their friends. Wow? Now how
traditional are your parents? Like?Is it one of the things you can't
move in together until you're married?No? Okay, So are you cohabitating?

it's great, it's terrific. Youknow, in in England to Europe,

(16:00):
you know, lots of European countries. You can say what you want.
But man still out here, youknow, we're still handcuffed. Yeah,
I read, I read. Iheard about something that my stuff father
was explaining to me, something thathe read about how this election and this
he was saying this three plus yearsago, this election that we have right
now not so important. It's thenext one that's going to be important for

(16:22):
social economic and there's a there's athing about there's one hundred year snapshot and
how the social issues and the economicissues are typically here. But for whatever
reason, the next election, notthis one, the twenty twenty eight election,
they intersect and that's going to bethe big c change. Wow.
So this based on history and basedon I forget the guy's name. I'll

(16:45):
have to get it to and youcan look at But it's really fascinating when
i'd like to read that. Yeah, yeah, because you know who knows
what's happening with this one. Hey, I got to ask you something about
a year ago. I was upstairswe have one of those all company meetings.
Yeah, and I was standing nextto you, and I was saying,
Hey, you don't like the show, Steph Fush likes the show.
And then you said to me aboutfive minutes after me talking about how great

(17:10):
your show is, you said tome, you looked at me and go,
I'm not Woody and you walked away. Was that you? What?
No? You? Probably that wasprobably Menas. Then I was talking to
somebody, probably talking to Menace.I think it was a guy in sales
then no, there's a guy onmy show. His name is Menace.
We look pretty similar, I guessbecause we were we were traveling somewhere for
the show. We're walking through theairport and those guys that have the credit

(17:30):
card offers and you get extra milesif you sign up today, they go,
Hey, twenty five thousand bonus milesfor Twins today. I was like,
I was I was offended. Iwas like, oh my god,
that's what I look like. Ialways sign up for those things. My
self esteem is not very I say, it's fine. That's why I'm okay
with people texting or social media.People can say whatever they want. I'm

(17:52):
not affected by it. Nobody hatesme more than me. Yeah, yeah,
and so. But like, forwhatever reason that bothered me, I
Mark wins Mark and Brian used tobe a big, huge show here in
Los Angeles, and Steck and Iwere on opposite of them, not at
the same time, but the sameyou know, years we were on.
And they came out of the Christmasalbum of all their best hits over the

(18:15):
year, and I said, Steck, I'm gonna play it for you and
you tell me when it's funny.And we played the whole hour without him
laughing. And so Mark Thompson understoodthe humor in it, but Brian didn't
know. He had apparently had nosense of humor. So I ran into
him at the Forum Club after likea Kings or Laker game, and he
said, he goes, do youhave a brother on radio? And I

(18:37):
said, I know, I don't. He goes because he goes, went,
that's you. You did it right, and he got so pissed he
left. Really the game, yeahhe got He got very angry about it.
Yeah I felt bad, you know, but yeah, but it was
just a bit. And then Iran into Mark Thompson from the Mark and
Brian Show, and he thought itwas hysterical. Did you read Mark's book?
I've not read his book. Hecame in, Don't Bump the Record

(18:57):
Kids, the name of his book. It's it's really great. If anybody
was a big Mark and Brian fan, or you know you're interested in radio
as a radio guy, it wasfascinating. But his storytelling is great.
I like the audio book. Anybodythat's got a history with doing spoken word
radio comedians, I'd rather listen totheir book than read it because it's in

(19:18):
their voice, and it's exactly inthe style in which they intended for it
to be heard. Uh. Theaudiobook is great. But even if you
read it, it's so many greatstories, a lot of behind the scenes
of the Mark and Brian drama betweenthe two of them. Oh good,
I gotta read it. What's theday of the book? Don't bump the
didn't you have him on the show? Yeah? But buddy, look,
don't bump the record. Kid.Look we had we have a lot of

(19:40):
people on the show that I forgot. Yeah, you know, all you
do, you seem to have thebest time here, Like, so you
walk in, when what do youget in? Yeah? Right, I've
heard for it something. What time? Forty five? Forty five? Forty

(20:02):
five? Really on Jesus three fortyfive? Bellio? I asked, Bellio,
Belly, what time do I gethere? Three forty fifty three?
Okay, there we go, threefifty fifty get here? I was here
three forty five. Yeah that wasearly. Yeah, but I can hear
a three forty I'm like, I'mbored. Yeah, you know, there's
nothing to do for twenty minutes.No, but I mean, you just

(20:22):
gotta chop it up. This isgreat that's great, buddy. You got
to come back, you know,and maybe on a Friday where you can
stay for a while. We'd haveto wake up at sparrow fart in the
morning. We'll tell you wake upone thirty every day one thirty. Wow?
Is that right? Is that?Where are you at all? Uh?
Yeah, of course there's a there'san expiration date on it for sure.
But uh a friend of mine dida morning radio and he said for
seven years, a guy named JackSilver, and he said he was tired

(20:45):
every minute for seven years. Yeah, you don't, uh, you don't
get used to it. You justuh, you know, figure out how
to do it. She could havebet before your kids, then no,
because I like slept before I camehere. I went home, so I
came back. But typically do goto bed before your kids? Uh?
Yeah, yeah, that's y.I try to go up about the eight
eight thirty way, Kelly, youknow, could you go right to sleep?
Oh yeah, yeah, I'm withyou. Yeah, I'm passed out,
but uh, you know, youdo it. Look, we got

(21:07):
Look, we got a great job. You know, we've got a really
cool job. It's the best.Yeah, it's the best job of the
world. No, offense. Peoplepayton stripes on the highway. It's better
than painting stripe on the highway,you know. When like when Robin asked
me to come in here on Sundaybecause Joe Biden was resigning and he wasn't
gonna be a candidate anymore. Yeah, somebody said, you know, don't
you find it painting the ass thatyou get called in during your vacation.
I said no, because that onethere's there'll be a day where nobody calls

(21:30):
That is true, nobody, that'strue. And so like I'm making hay
while the sun shines, while thekids are in school, and what we're
doing all night, you know,And if you're on the treadmill of life,
man, you might as well justmake me make the most of it.
And this is what I've always wantedto do. So I thank you
for coming out with guys like you. No problem, Please commit, make
you for your support. You're thebest. We'll keep your mooting hell out
of your show. Thank you.I appreciate that. All right? Okay,

(21:51):
cool, you're listening to Tim conwaytunyou're on demand from KF I am
six forty. That was that greatman that would He's great. Hey,
listen to that show more often.Stepfas. You're right, man has a
bomb. I like that. Dude. All right, we've got your favorite
president coming up in I don't knowwhat ten minutes or so, and we

(22:12):
put it out on I guess I'mnot saying it right. There's an app.
You go to the app and thenwe have the push notes or the
push information notification. Yeah. SoPresident Joe Biden plans to frame the decision
on his ending his election campaign asa defensive democracy from the Oval Office,

(22:37):
and that's going to happen in aboutnine minutes from now. So he's going
to talk about the defense of democracyin the light of them selecting a candidate.
The government selected the democratic candidate,not the people. The government.

(22:57):
If you're happy with that, you'recool with that, get it, teach
his own. You can have allkinds of thoughts in this country. You
can have thoughts of, you know, of next time somebody shoots Donald Trump,
I hope they don't miss. Youcan do that. You can go
that route, or maybe Donald Trumpwasn't actually a shot. You can go
that route as well. You canthink whatever you want in this country,

(23:17):
free country, And I don't likewhen people are fired over that kind of
crap. That woman from Home Depotwho said, I hope the next time
whoever shoots Trump, I hope hedoesn't. Hope they don't miss next time.
She got fired for that. Idon't think you should get fired for
that. I think you should.You know, you keep your job.
But people around you get to giveyou the cold shoulder if they don't think
that that's a col reaction. SoI don't know, it's getting weird in

(23:41):
this country. Weird, weird,weird. So he's going to say the
defense of democracy is more important thanany title. And he's also going to
say I draw strength and find joyin working for the American people. But
he's also going to talk about theHarris campaign. He'll talk about the Democrats.

(24:06):
I have a lot of the speechright here in front of me.
I can't go too much into it. I think it's been It's gonna be
one of those ones. I thinkthat a lot of people are going to
remember, if for no other reason, because of the the symbolism of him
stepping down Sunday. I mean,you instantly think of Johnson saying I shall
not and I will not run foryou. Know to be president again,
and and you know the whole thingwith Nixon and just I think it's gonna
be one of those ones that peoplewill talk about, at least having witness

(24:30):
depending on what he says. Iwonder what I wonder if he's going to
say blame it on his health issues. Maybe not, you think, but
I think everybody's going to address itat all. I would be surprised if
he addressed is his age or healthat all? Yeah, I don't know,
but I think that you know it. But like talking to Mark Thompson,
and Mark Thompson's in the know.He does a lot of politics.
I try to stay away from alot of that crap, right, But

(24:52):
he says that that the reason thathe's stepping down are the polls, because
the polls look horrible. Well,if that's the case, then you can
just go against the will of thepeople and step down. It's odd.
It's strange. And when you're gettingup there and you're saying, well,
you know, I'm defending democracy.Democracy will die if Donald Trump becomes president.
And then okay, so how didmiss Harris get in there? How

(25:17):
did Kamala Harris get in there?Whilce you was selected. Oh well,
I think democratic about that. Inthe primaries, do you vote for just
the president or do you vote forthe ticket? No, I think you
vote for just the president. Ithink. I mean, you know,
I don't ever remember, you know, people saying, well, I don't
hate Biden, but I love thatHarris. I'll vote for both of them.
Maybe, but I think you justvote for I think Biden's the only

(25:40):
one on the ballot too. Ihave to look at a ballot, but
I think Joe Biden was on theballot alone. I don't think it was
Biden, Harris. As a matterof fact, I'm sure it wasn't,
because you don't vote for a team, you vote for an individual, and
so Joe Biden, like when youcheck off on a ballot, it was
just Joe Biden's name. I knowbecause I had a ballot and it was

(26:03):
Joe Biden or Donald Trump. Andyou have to make a decision. So
that's going to happen. And thespeech, I think it's going to be
a half hour, that's what Iheard, or the better part of a
half hour. And then he'll talkabout his decision to his decision to retire
rather than remain the twenty twenty fourrace. I don't know if he's going
to resign. That might be happeningtonight, resign the presidency that has I

(26:30):
don't know what percentage that is whenit comes to a vaguas bet. I
think it's awfully low. But thatcould happen as well. He could step
aside and say, Kamala Harris isnow the president of the United States,
and weirder things have happened. We'rein the weirdest moment in politics that I
can remember in my lifetime. Ithink it's fantastic, though, Yeah,

(26:52):
is it interesting. It is weird, though, and it makes us keep
talking about it too. And Ican't stand that I hated. All of
us in the newsroom are just likeman, we hate We're always reminded right
around nine, right around now Julyor so of an election here how much
we hate election. I can't standit. It's just so, it's so
gruesome. Everybody's so fake. Imay stretch my vacation until November. I

(27:18):
would like to do that. Iwould like to do that. It doesn't
bring people together, separates people.It separates people a lot. Anyway,
He's going to say that he haddecided the best way forward is to pass
the torch to a new generation andit's best way to unite our nation.
So it's going to happen at eightpm in the East Coast in the Oval
Office. It'll be of course fiveo'clock our time. Donald Trump was at

(27:42):
a campaign today in North Carolina.A pretty big crowd out there and for
Donald Trump, and they went crazy. I think people are in their groups
now. You know, you're eitherin the Harris group or you're in the
Trump group, Republican or democrap,and you start to sort of hate the
other group, and it does notbring this country together. It tears it

(28:06):
apart. And as much as uh, you know, we try to keep
it off the show. And ithasn't been confirmed yet, but there are
apparently sources inside Trump's campaign that sayshe's not doing any more of those big
outdoor rallies because of the shoot,because it killed he showed him. Yeah
he might. They might do someoutdoor stuff, but it will be more
contained, smaller venues if they doit, even outsoors. Yeah, I

(28:27):
would. I would say that's awrap on the outdoor stuff. You know,
once you get shot by a twentyyear old. You know, I
have to say that a lot ofpeople have seen I don't know if Crozier
have you seen this? Have youseen the body of Thomas Crooks on the
roof with the blood coming out?No? Oh, that pictures out there.
Yeah, And I'm sure the family, you know, Thomas Crook's family

(28:49):
have has seen that photo because it'severywhere. And man, I felt bad
for his parents. You know,obviously he is the number one enemy amongst
Democrats and Republicans. Now, thatkind of violence in this country is unjustified

(29:10):
and never a good choice. Butto see that kid with blood coming out
of him all over the place,and they have a picture of him with
his black sneakers on, black tennisshoes on, and he's twenty years old.
And when you grew up in asmall town like that population of thirty
three thousand in Pennsylvania, is itBethel, Pennsylvania? I think it's best

(29:34):
and everyone, you know, whenyou're twenty years old, you're almost like
fifteen, you know, you're stilla child. And to have a picture
there with the shoes that he probablybought his kid, blood all over the
place. He's mourning the death ofhis child while having all this hate directed
towards him and his family and hiswife and his whatever kids they ever have.

(30:00):
Pressure on this family is tremendous,you know, especially because as it
comes out a little bit more andmore and our assumptions or or the conclusions
that we've drawn already is that hewas a kid that clearly had was a
troubled kid, clearly had issues mentallyotherwise emotionally, and it wasn't necessarily something
where it's like, it wasn't politicallyoriented at least that's that's not how it

(30:21):
looks. That's got to be evenmore frustrating for the family. Oh,
it's harder to hate It's harder forpeople to hate him, you know,
based on that, right, Yeah, frustrating for the family to understand what
happened. And they say that hedidn't hate Donald Trump. He he you
know, he was fascinated by assassinationsof political figures. It could have easily

(30:42):
have been Biden if Biden was downthere doing a you know, some kind
of rally. But the woman thatplayed and I can't remember her name is
the last name Feldon who played Agentninety nine in Gets Smart. Do you
remember? Is it harterfeld? Isthat her name? I heard that she

(31:03):
lived two blocks away from that kid, that she was born and raised in
that small little town. What ashow that was, Get smart? Oh
my oh man? What are someof the sayings that came out of that?
I missed it by that much.Wasn't that one of them? Yes?
Indeed that was the big one,and there was something else about the
Chief. Sorry about that. ChiefConway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
