Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app Our next guest.
I heard her on one oh three point five on
the on the KOST and I said, hey, let's see
if she'll come on. The coast is right upstairs. Her
name is Sarah dash Welcome to the show. How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Thank you? I'm doing great, excellent.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
All right. You're a therapist. You help people out who
are I don't know how you put it, taking a
lead off first? Is that one the why people put it?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (00:32):
I think that's definitely one way to put it. All right,
work with people who have basically whatever's.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Going on, well, something's going on upstairs. They don't feel right,
and I think we're all Look, even before these fires
broke out, I think that la is a very city
filled with anxiety. I think because we have the wealthiest people,
the most attractive people in the world, and then we
have the poorest and the least attractive people in the work.
(00:58):
But we have we have literally we have everything here.
The most desperate and a friend of mine told me this.
A friend of mine said, he said, you know, the
most dangerous people in the world are people with nothing
to lose, I think, and it's probably right. And that's
why you hear of all these burglaries and these robberies
and these carjackings where they you know, the capital of
(01:20):
the high speed chase. We get to see mental breakdowns
because that's what you have to have in order to
get into a chase with the cops, because you' usually
not going to get out of that. But before these
fires broke up, we were filled with anxiety. And now
I think it's just off the charts.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Yeah, it's really just an escalation of what we were
already seeing.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, and how do you how do you deal with this?
Let's talk about initially how you deal with yourself. Don't
get into the kids, but how do you deal with
a home that is completely lost? I remember when we
are When I was growing up, our home was broken
into and never really felt the same after them. But
now with the home being demolished, how do people how
(01:59):
do people go on on? How do people you know
and stay sane? Look, it's hard. When I wake up
in the morning, I'm depressed, I'm swearing, I'm angry, and
I didn't have my house destroyed. I can't imagine what
it's like to have your house destroyed.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Well, it's an unbelievable trauma, and it's actually a collective trauma.
So you're talking about individual healing but also community healing, right.
I think one of the first things that we can
do as individuals is to think in terms of a
reframe that would look like, did this was this something
(02:34):
horrible that happened to me? Or is this something terrible
that happened that I'll get through?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I see, right? And what's the difference is a difference
in time or difference in blame?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I think it's a difference in perception one and now
enables you to look into the future and I imagine
things being different, imagine getting back to normalcy.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And and how do you do that? Though I know
it's it's pretty easy to say, hey, you know, you
just got to, you know, pull up your socks and
you're going to get back to normal. But for people
who have nightmares at night and you know, are filled
with anxiety, what are some things that they can do?
Is it nutrition? Is it you know, going to see somebody,
(03:19):
is it religion? Are what are they like? You know,
sort of the main planks of that platform that can
help people on a daily basis.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I think one of the most important things is routine.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Okay, that's a good one here.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, you want to.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Establish as much normalcy as possible, which is really really
hard to.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Do, right.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
But I always say that structure binds anxiety.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Okay, that's good because you know what, a friend of
mine just retired. She's a first responder up in Ventura,
and she spent her whole life trying to help other
people and she just retired. And it's driving or crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Okay, is too much time?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Too much time? And I think you're right, it's structure.
You know. For for thirty five years, she knew where
she had to be every single day, she knew what
she would had to wear. You know, she's a first responder.
She knew what she had to do every single day.
And now her time is not scheduled. It's completely free.
And for people who are used to structure, that is
really tough to deal with. It's very very you develop
(04:16):
really bad habits.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
You can develop really bad habits. Yeah, too much time
is not a good thing. Our minds are not necessarily
the best neighborhood to be in.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Sometimes yeah, and so when people have lost a home,
what is that equated to. Obviously, losing a loved one
is much more severe and are there are different levels
when people lose homes, Like if we lost our home
in a fire. I'm not a sentimental guy, so I
(04:45):
could everything in my house as long as my wife
and daughter and our dog are fine. Everything else. There's
nothing I would take out of my house that I
would flip out over if I didn't have.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Okay, Well, I think people attach different meanings to different things.
Where we're most attached to the people we love, but
a lot of things in our life, our physical things,
they're not just things, their memories, right, and I think
we it's important to respect that, to understand that this
is a real loss.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Oh sure, yeah, absolutely, And especially for people who been
their generation after generation. You know you've had thirty Thanksgivings there,
you know, thirty Christmases, forty Christmases, whatever it is. But
maybe because you know I since you know, we moved around,
not a lot, but you know every I would say
in my childhood one, two, three, four, I moved four
(05:37):
times before I was eighteen, and then when I was eighteen,
I've moved you know, one hundred times since. But I
think it's it's really traumatic for people who have never moved.
You know, their parents were brought up in that house,
their grandparents own the house, and that's rock solid security
for them.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
It's everything that they've known.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Yeah, and it's that sense of safetyliarity brings.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Right and it's gone absolutely Yeah. Now, how do you
what about with children? I'm sure you know obviously there
are kids out there who their school have burned, has
burned to the ground, their homes have burned to the ground,
and you've got to hold it together in front of
those kids.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
You absolutely do.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, you can't break down.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
No, I think you can't break down. But I think
there should be an open discourse policy in which you
can tell your children how you're feeling, and they can
tell you how they're feeling. But you can feel what
you want to feel, but you have to be able
to handle it right.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, And I like my daughter. We recently last year
we lost our dog, Ernie and we took him to
the vet and I after the doctor came back with
the diagnosis, which wasn't good, I broke down in front
of my daughter and she said to my wife. I've
never seen Dad do that. I've never seen Dad cry
(06:58):
like that. I've never seen Dad breakdown like that.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
What was that like for you to work down in
front of us?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Oh? I didn't mind that. I didn't mind that. I
just that dog meant the world.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And I still can't drive by the vet where we
had him put down. I got to go around it.
I got to drive like in Moron, I gotta drive
like three miles around it just so I don't pass
the vet.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Well, animals are so precious to us.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
I've had countless of people reach out to me or
the years who've lost a pet, and they really don't understand.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
It doesn't make sense to them.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's weird, right, yes, But I think why, you know,
we're so attached to pets and maybe a pet, you know,
during this can you know it is some kind of
you know, great relief. But I think we're so attached
to the pets. Like if you like, I bet you know,
if your mom or dad or both are still with us,
you may speak to him once a couple of days
on the phone, and you might see him two or
(07:51):
three times a year, but that dog is with us
every single day.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
The dog is with us every single day.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
The dog is unconditional of yeah, it doesn't really have expectations, right.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And we had a bad dog. We had a dog
that attacked everybody. It barked all the time, It bit me,
it attacked me. It was the worst dog ever. And
I missed that dog every day.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I think that's something that maybe we should talk about.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I know.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I missed. I guess I missed the abuse. That's possible.
That's a great angle. All right, we're going to come back.
We'll talk some more about also COVID. How COVID has
affect kids. I have a couple of theories on that.
You know, my daughter went through it. She lost a
year and a half of schooling over it, and I
think there's a long term effect on kids. We had
(08:38):
doctor ray Kuscherry come on with us during COVID and
he predicted while COVID was happening. He said, they've got
to open the schools immediately or else these kids are
going to be affected for the rest of their lives.
We'll come back and talk to us. Sarah dash if
you want to go to the website, let me give
you the website. It's Sarah s A R, A H
(08:58):
and then dash d ash. Don't put the dash in
dash MFT dot com. Okay, all right, that's great.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Sarah Dashes with Us a therapist who helps a lot
a lot of people, man a lot of people dealing
with anxiety. And hey, kids are dealing with anxiety. The floods,
the fires, these plane crashes, it seems like everything's piling up.
All right, Sarah, let's talk about long term COVID with
these kids. I've noticed with my daughter, she's nineteen, she'll
(09:36):
be twenty in October, and I've noticed that, you know,
because you know, she's friends with other kids, you know,
in the neighborhood, and I'm from school. I noticed that.
Like when I was seventeen, I moved out of the
house and I could never imagine moving back in.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I got a job, I paid for my apartment. The
car crappy car, but it was a car. But now kids,
there's you know, there was no real desire to get
a license, no real desire to get out there and
see the world. It's odd. Do you think COVID had
anything to.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Do with them.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
You know, I think COVID certainly could have.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
It was such a such a time of isolation, and
I think that we all got used to not being
out in the world to a certain degree, and for
a kid who's in that launch stage, I think it
seemed a lot more frightening to launch, right.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And I think that you know, my daughter, she's an
only kid, so you know, being out of school for
eighteen months was very, very difficult. But she never complained.
She had one day where she was, you know, depressed
about it, but other than that, she never complained. I
couldn't believe it. Man, if I was locked in the
house for eighteen months, I'd be complaining every day. Yeah,
(10:45):
getting radical, but I think it's but I think the
maturity of keeping these kids out and distancing themselves from
their social group really hurt them.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I think it did. It absolutely hurt them.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
There you see the psychosocial delays, you know, they're not
It's how we practice for life, right.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Is when we're a kid and we're engaging with other kids.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Right, Like when you go to college. You know, I
don't know if you learn much in college, but I
think what you learn is where your buzz is you
know how to gauge your buzz. Yeah, and so you know,
so when you're fifty five, you don't get drunk at
a holiday party and throw up on everybody. You learn
that in college, you learn where your limit is. But
but there's you know, obviously, when you grow up, especially
(11:28):
I don't know out here in Los Angeles. You know,
if you grew up in New York or Boston, and
everybody's within a block or two of you, your friends,
your family, everybody lives in the same community community. But
out here we're so spread out and sprawled out. I
think that though, that during COVID, I think social media
really helped these kids where they can they can zoom
meetings and have, you know, contact with their friends. If COVID,
(11:51):
if zoom or texting or FaceTime didn't exist, I can't
imagine how traumatic would be for these kids.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
I think social media being able to connect over devices
helped in that way, right. I also think that the
increased screen time had some negative effects.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I'm sure it does because when when you're much younger
than I am. But when I went to school, school
was over at two twenty pm every Friday, and it
didn't start Monday till late am. So if I didn't
get invited to a party, and there were parties that
didn't get invited to, I didn't know it on Monday, right,
But now these kids know instantly that they weren't invited. Yeah,
(12:32):
you know, they get they get photos from the from
the party that they're not at.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I think you're either having a great time or you're
having a pretty tortuous experience.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Right exactly. But then again, I don't know what the
answer is. You know. I know a lot of these
schools when when my daughter was younger, they used to
have the daddy daughter dance, then the mommy daughter dance
or the mom and son dance. And I went and
there were a bunch of other you know, dads there.
I got. I hooked up with a bunch of dads.
The kids were while we're while we were talking, but
(13:02):
they don't do the daddy daughter dance, and they were
for daughters that don't have dads. They canceled it. Well
that's sad, Yeah, it is sad, you know. And and
and those the kids that didn't have fathers, they should
have been incorporated into it somehow, But why cancel the
whole thing?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yeah, I don't understand why you couldn't have any parent
bring you.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Or you're bring you exactly. Yeah, it doesn't mean it
doesn't have to be a dad or you know, you're right,
it should have been kid parent or a kid guardian
or a kid you know whatever. Yeah, kid and somebody
older than you what it should have been? All right?
But but COVID, I think COVID had a long term effect.
And how do how do kids deal with that? How
(13:43):
do kids deal where you know, they were out of
school for a year and a half and and they're
really jealous. I notice of when they find out kids
in Florida were out for two weeks or in Georgia
for three weeks, and here they were out for eighteen months.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
You know, I think that one of the things is
for a kid to understand that just because they had
that abnormal at that time, they can move on and
have the quote unquote normal experience that it doesn't preclude
things from being as they wish they would be in
the future.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Right, But what are some what are either books they
can read or is something they can practice to sort
of try to get over there, or is it just
opening up and communicating their feelings about it.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
I think it's opening up and communicating feelings. I think
it's spending quality time with peers.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Oh I see, okay, yeah, all right, and I think
that's great. I always, you know, my daughter's on her phone.
I always. You know, it's a it's such a positive
and such a negative. You know, you want to tell
them to get off the phone. But then I've I've
seen kids that have grown up where they didn't get
any phone rights, and they've gone nuts too, So you
(14:55):
never know what to do. You know, it's you don't
get when you have a kid. It doesn't come with
a handbook.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Now, and kids, you know, they pick it up from parents.
The phone is the lifeline. Our whole world is in
our phone. So you start taking a lifeline away from
a kid, they're not going to be very happy.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, I think you're right. My daughter is a teacher's
assistant at a school at LAUSD, and she came home
and she was telling me how how great this five
year old kid was. That this five year old kid
would you know, compliment her and talk about and talk
to her almost like an adult, but just a very
(15:30):
sweet young girl that's in my daughter's class, and I said,
I said, by chance. I said, I don't know that
kid's name, but does that kid have a mom and
dad who are still together and live at home? And
she said, yeah, how'd you know? I said, wow, it
just seems like, you know, if it's a sweet kid
who's funny and who has a personality, I think they
(15:51):
had the advantage of having two parents.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
I think it is an advantage. A two parent home
is always great. It's just not their reality.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah. I know for a lot of people it's not.
And you know, you know, either divorce or something happens,
you know, the mom or dad had passed away. But ideally,
you know, in my case or in my experience, when
I run into kids who have you know, mom and
dad at home that are still married, that they seem
to be a little comber in life.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
It's stabilizing.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Yeah, there are two people who are there to take
care of you at the same time rather than one.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Right. What are some but I don't know you recommend
books or whatever. Are some books that you've read in
the past that really have helped out more.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Than anything I've ever read. I would say mindfulness that
kids learn how to tolerate their distress, by feeling safe
being distressed for short periods of time, and mindfulness doesn't
have to mean a yoga to retreat. It's breathing exercises
for you know, five minutes, and that can make a
huge difference in recalibrating regulation.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
People can go to your website and there's more information there,
Sarah desh s A R A H d A s
H M F T dot com. I appreciate you coming in.
Thank you so much here and go to the website
and there's information there. And you also do teletherapy absolutely,
so people don't have to be here in La to
(17:22):
to get some therapy.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
No, they can be on the top of a mountain.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah. That is one of the advantages with computers and
Zoom and all that stuff is that you literally can
have patients from around the world, you know, just over
the internet. That's thank you for coming in.
Speaker 1 (17:37):

least I'm not Tim Conways, the guy wakes up bad.
His old dog bit him, drum goes anywhere. A lot
(18:52):
of these people were so grateful. But when they would say,
you lost the house, you lost your car, I said, guys,

That's great, man. You know this is.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I gotta thank you, Tim. You really made them feel better.
Speaker 2 (19:11):

Yeah, Billy and I have been friends for a long time, so.
Speaker 2 (19:37):

Speaker 4 (20:51):
You're going to celebrate then, Yes, huge party, Yes, celebration. Yeah, yeah,
I celebrate my hundred eighteen and I felt I did
forty and thirty one show, so wow, what he wanted?
And you're to be drunk.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Hey, do you ever go back and watch any of them?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah? Everything's on YouTube. It's fun going back, and it's
kind of watching somebody else. You know. It's so funny
because how do you know if your jokes are funny
because you know him. But when you watch a joke
he did forty years ago, you can look at objectively
because you have no memory of doing the joke. Oh,
it is funny. You know.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Hey, I know you're uncomfortable with this, but I'm going
to bring it up anyway. No, No, David Letterman, uh,
you know. And one of those stations right now they're
running all of his old clips from his old show,
the David Letterman Show or the Late Show, whatever it was.
And and it's such a stark difference between now and then,
(21:48):
because back then he was funny.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
No, you know, it's different days. Guy. I always thought
you know what I started. I remember I went in
the comedy store and I saw Letterman performed for the
first time, and very nervous, but a great wordsmith and
great joke. He came up to me and he said,
how can be so common relaxed? You know? I said,
(22:14):
Michail was with you, great with freezyology. He wouldn't want
say beverage instead of drink, you know, he'd always be
a bit more formal. And I thought it's just a
very clever. So we had a mutual admiration. You know,
my the fight, my best time in my career. We're
doing the Letterman Show. Because when I do with Johnny
back stay, Jeorge goes, thank you, miss the cards and
go call me Johnny. I go up back East. I
(22:36):
can't call you, Johnny, I gotta call. When Letterman was
a contemporary, you know what I would do when I
did Letterman Show. I get there early and a new
day came down to make up about four point thirty
for the five seventy paysons, and I would stand outside
makeup with an enormous meatball sandwich I'm eating. He goes,
how many you eat before him? O daghing? And then
(22:59):
I start to bringing your family down onto the stage.
It was just so much fun.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
That is great. I love I loved your story about
Chevy Chase wanted to do a talk show so he
could spend more time with his kids, and that was
so foreign to you.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, that was I mean, it's a lot of work
doing the show. You got to see the movie. You
gotta read the books.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You know, you got to do all of that, you know, right,
But when somebody would come on, did you have somebody
read the book for you? Or you read it?
Speaker 4 (23:28):
I know, I read the book and I see every movie,
you know. I mean, you know the audience can tell,
you know, I mean they realized, you know. No, no, yeah,
you gotta be true to yourself.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Hey, did you watch the SNL special yesterday?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
No, no, I didn't. I didn't see it. I heard
it's pretty good. It was it good.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
It was beyond horrible.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Oh I didn't see it. I didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, it was the worst, but you know it was.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
It was. It was an unusual show to do because
I went in and we would pitch Joe. I know
that some of the writers would laugh and I just wouldn't.
And I thought, well, you think you'd be polite and laughing. Well, no,
it was such a competitive atmosphere there that everybody just
(24:16):
laughed at their own stuff. And you know a lot
of times they would go through writers fairly quickly. See
you didn't know, you know, when I had the Tonight Show,
I hired writers for a year. I'm give a year.
They can't do it in the year, we'll move on.
But it gave him a chance to find my voice
and experiments and have and have a good time. So
we wound up having almost the same writers for the
(24:37):
whole twenty two years.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Jay Leno's with us, and you gave people shots. You
didn't go out and hire writers. You went out and
hired guys who were you know, security guards or maintenance
guys who were funny.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Yeah, I mean we got a lot of It was
fun discovering comics. That was one of my favorite things.
I was like it when Johnna said, I'm not glad
you're in a good mood. My next guess a young
man making a community. You you know they were and he
would always a quad for you, and he was he
was great. He was great to the comedian. They really
enjoyed doing it with him. You know, it's really weird
now because what a lot of shows do now to
(25:10):
save money they bring ten comics in Get a Night
when you asked THEODI to stay and have each comic
go one right after another, and they missed the whole
thing of being part of a show. It's you and
Diana Ross and somebody else, you know. And then they
would just drop the edited comics in a certain show.
It's just it's different now, the whole it's the whole
(25:31):
different game.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Did you have Norm McDonald? Quite often?
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Many times? I love Norman just the oddest, genuinely odd
character and a generally funny person without saying anything, just
his phraseology and this odd way of speaking, and oh,
I love Norm. He he used to he used to
bring his mom to see me because I wore clean.
(25:56):
He didn't bring his mom to his own show.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
That's great, you know, clean he had. He had a
very funny line. He was on with Larry King and
he's and he told Larry King. Larry said you are
you married? And he said no. He goes, h, I'm
a deeply, deeply, deeply closeted homosexual. And Larry said, oh,
so you're gay. He goes No, He goes, Larry, what
(26:20):
are you doing.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
My sam nor MacDonald joke. You probably know this joke.
This guy goes into a story, says, uh, let me
have a Polish sausage. Guy says, are you Polish? I go, uh,
you know, I don't know what that has to do. No,
In fact, I find that a little bit of Celtic.
If I stand and asked the Chinese, see, do you
(26:45):
ask the Chinese if I said I wanted to pizzas
to getting me fault? And do you ask if I'm Italian?
Why did you ask me if I was Polish? He said,
because this is a hard wrest.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
That is. What are you driving right now? What? What
year is the car right now?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
I'm driving nineteen ninety one gmc cyclone pickup truck. Wow,
I'll tell you how. I tell you how I got
this truck. You'll you'll love this stuff. Okay, My wife

not that everybody never just just to get the biggest, right.
(27:25):
So we drive, we go to Beverly Hills and this
is ninety one and most trees with thirty five dollars
to forty dollars. This tree was eighty five dollars, and
I said, oh, I love you. I go hunting your chief. No,
but they said free delivery. I said, all right, well

take that tree?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
There.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
The guy goes, Okay, where do you live? The Beverly Hills.

and a half outside of Arizona. I go, I'm buying

I said, wait here his MC truck dealer across the street.
I want him. I bought a truck. My wife leaving

(28:06):

Speaker 2 (28:11):
That's such a great story. How about how about you
got a story of every one of those cars?
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Oh, most of them have a pretty good strong that's
one of my favorite.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I tell people, Oh, it's my Christmas tree, trying to say, oh,
it must be some lovely story. Yeah, you tell me.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
That's awesome. Jay, thanks for phoning call us again. We'd
love to have you on. Hey last I'm not a
bigong with you, all right there, he goes jay Leto.
That guy is great man. He always calls us. He's
got always great, great stories. That guy's the best. I
used to watch him and take that show all the time,
jay Leto on the tonight show, I missed that program.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Man. You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
kf I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Hey, we've got some problems out in Palace Verdict. Yeah,
beautiful area out there, and they got rat Beach out there,
right after Torrents. They call it rat Beach. Petros lives
out there, and the Petros and Money show spectacular views.
You see Cataline on a clear day cliffs. You can
(29:18):
hear the ocean. People out there. They've been out there
for generations. Once people move to Rolling Hills, you know
the peninsula out there, they never move. They love it
out there, they love the community. But now we got
mischief makers. Police are warning of nighttime burglaries in Palace Vertus.
(29:39):
Palace Vertics estates that whole area no good, no good.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Poulos Vertas estates. So police are calling these burglaries at
dinner time.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Burglaries.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Like you said, they're happening during the evening hours when
people are out to dinner, and police say multiple homes
have been targeted here since the start of the new year,
and of course, to a community alert that was sent
out by the Paulos Verdes Estates Police Department, the timeframe
of these burglaries is between January first through February fourteenth.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Okay, while we're all dealing with the fires the floods,
these guys are breaking into homes.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Of these burglaries is between January February fourteenth, police shared online.
In several of these incidents, windows were smashed. Police also
say there were four additional burglaries they believed to be unrelated.
Two were at the same home on Via Opata. Police
suspects were arrested in both of these cases.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Oh let me tell you a secret here. I got
a friend who's on LAPD and he told me this,
And this scares the hell out of people, But you
got to be aware of it. If your home gets
broken into and they don't catch the guys that did it,
there's a fifty percent chance that that home is going
to get broken into again. In the next month because
(31:01):
they got a preview of what of the crap you have,
and they're going to come back to steal the stuff
that they couldn't take the first time. So if your
home has been broken into, I don't say, oh, there's
no way lightning can strike twice. It's going to strike twice.
So if your home got broken into, be prepared for these,
(31:24):
as George Carlin calls them, life's most interesting guys, they
might be coming back, so be aware of that. I
don't want to scare the hell out of you, but
you got to be aware of it.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
Police also say there was a burglary of a garage
and a residential burglary during the daytime hours on Avenide
and Rolla Policey detectives are pursuing all leads and working
with other law enforcement agencies.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
Well, I'm confident in the police departments around here, so
if it's something that's ongoing, they'll catch them pretty soon.
But as far as my concern, I have a watchdog here.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
This guy's living in nineteen seventy eight. They took video
of a guy who lives in Palace Vertus in nineteen
seventy eight, and here's the audio.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
Well, I'm confident in the police departments around here.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah, I got my Mercury wagon. I just went to Woolworthst.
For lunch. I gotta go buy some shoes at Standard
Shoes and then Little Orange Julius before I retire and
watch Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
So if it's something that's ongoing, yeah, they'll catch them
bother you.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
But as far as my concern, yeah, I have a
watch dog.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah, that's right, I got a dog. Why would they
ever come into my house? I got a dog. Well,
these new guys they spray the dog with mace or
they kill the dog. So this is not nineteen seventy
eight gang. I don't know where this guy's living, but
he's in the seventies.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
I have a watch dog here.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, okay, we at least he laughed at that. He
knows what. Dog's not gonna do anything.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
I have a watch dog here. Just be vigilant.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, that's all you gotta do is be vigilant. Right,
Just be vigilant and get out there and enjoy the
Wiener Factory or maybe go to Malibu Grand Prix over
the weekend. Yeah, just enjoy yourself. Nineteen seventy five, and
the stay in the Palace Vertus the States. Maybe go
down to the tuna factory there in sam Pedro, you
go to Ports of call, stay at the Vagabond, you know,
(33:18):
nineteen seventy five, what the hell? Just be vigilant, Yeah,
just be vigilant. It's the seventies. God mighty, this guy's
in a different century. Just be vigilant, all right.
Speaker 7 (33:30):
Obviously, keep your your doors locked, windows closed.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
That's right, that's all you gotta do. Windows closed, doors locked.
You'll be fine.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Man.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Obviously keep your your doors locked, windows closed. Yeah, and
if you see someone that doesn't belong around here, then
say something.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Call the police.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
There you go, and police are reminding everyone who lives
in this area to set an alarm and to leave
the lights on if you're going to be out to dinner,
and to report to police any suspicious activity in Paula's vertics,
es states Camilla Rambaldi, NBC forty.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
There you go. All right, they're attacking everybody. Everybody gets
jumped here in La So gotta live with that, all right?
Very good?
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Oh it s already six o'clock, two hours man, that
flew by, all right, We're live 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.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app Our next guest.
I heard her on one oh three point five on
the on the KOST and I said, hey, let's see
if she'll come on. The coast is right upstairs. Her
name is Sarah dash Welcome to the show. How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Thank you? I'm doing great, excellent.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
All right. You're a therapist. You help people out who
are I don't know how you put it, taking a
lead off first? Is that one the why people put it?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (00:32):
I think that's definitely one way to put it. All right,
work with people who have basically whatever's.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Going on, well, something's going on upstairs. They don't feel right,
and I think we're all Look, even before these fires
broke out, I think that la is a very city
filled with anxiety. I think because we have the wealthiest people,
the most attractive people in the world, and then we
have the poorest and the least attractive people in the work.
(00:58):
But we have we have literally we have everything here.
The most desperate and a friend of mine told me this.
A friend of mine said, he said, you know, the
most dangerous people in the world are people with nothing
to lose, I think, and it's probably right. And that's
why you hear of all these burglaries and these robberies
and these carjackings where they you know, the capital of
(01:20):
the high speed chase. We get to see mental breakdowns
because that's what you have to have in order to
get into a chase with the cops, because you' usually
not going to get out of that. But before these
fires broke up, we were filled with anxiety. And now
I think it's just off the charts.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Yeah, it's really just an escalation of what we were
already seeing.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, and how do you how do you deal with this?
Let's talk about initially how you deal with yourself. Don't
get into the kids, but how do you deal with
a home that is completely lost? I remember when we
are When I was growing up, our home was broken
into and never really felt the same after them. But
now with the home being demolished, how do people how
(01:59):
do people go on on? How do people you know
and stay sane? Look, it's hard. When I wake up
in the morning, I'm depressed, I'm swearing, I'm angry, and
I didn't have my house destroyed. I can't imagine what
it's like to have your house destroyed.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Well, it's an unbelievable trauma, and it's actually a collective trauma.
So you're talking about individual healing but also community healing, right.
I think one of the first things that we can
do as individuals is to think in terms of a
reframe that would look like, did this was this something
(02:34):
horrible that happened to me? Or is this something terrible
that happened that I'll get through?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I see, right? And what's the difference is a difference
in time or difference in blame?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I think it's a difference in perception one and now
enables you to look into the future and I imagine
things being different, imagine getting back to normalcy.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And and how do you do that? Though I know
it's it's pretty easy to say, hey, you know, you
just got to, you know, pull up your socks and
you're going to get back to normal. But for people
who have nightmares at night and you know, are filled
with anxiety, what are some things that they can do?
Is it nutrition? Is it you know, going to see somebody,
(03:19):
is it religion? Are what are they like? You know,
sort of the main planks of that platform that can
help people on a daily basis.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I think one of the most important things is routine.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Okay, that's a good one here.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, you want to.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Establish as much normalcy as possible, which is really really
hard to.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Do, right.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
But I always say that structure binds anxiety.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Okay, that's good because you know what, a friend of
mine just retired. She's a first responder up in Ventura,
and she spent her whole life trying to help other
people and she just retired. And it's driving or crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Okay, is too much time?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Too much time? And I think you're right, it's structure.
You know. For for thirty five years, she knew where
she had to be every single day, she knew what
she would had to wear. You know, she's a first responder.
She knew what she had to do every single day.
And now her time is not scheduled. It's completely free.
And for people who are used to structure, that is
really tough to deal with. It's very very you develop
(04:16):
really bad habits.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
You can develop really bad habits. Yeah, too much time
is not a good thing. Our minds are not necessarily
the best neighborhood to be in.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Sometimes yeah, and so when people have lost a home,
what is that equated to. Obviously, losing a loved one
is much more severe and are there are different levels
when people lose homes, Like if we lost our home
in a fire. I'm not a sentimental guy, so I
(04:45):
could everything in my house as long as my wife
and daughter and our dog are fine. Everything else. There's
nothing I would take out of my house that I
would flip out over if I didn't have.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Okay, Well, I think people attach different meanings to different things.
Where we're most attached to the people we love, but
a lot of things in our life, our physical things,
they're not just things, their memories, right, and I think
we it's important to respect that, to understand that this
is a real loss.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Oh sure, yeah, absolutely, And especially for people who been
their generation after generation. You know you've had thirty Thanksgivings there,
you know, thirty Christmases, forty Christmases, whatever it is. But
maybe because you know I since you know, we moved around,
not a lot, but you know every I would say
in my childhood one, two, three, four, I moved four
(05:37):
times before I was eighteen, and then when I was eighteen,
I've moved you know, one hundred times since. But I
think it's it's really traumatic for people who have never moved.
You know, their parents were brought up in that house,
their grandparents own the house, and that's rock solid security
for them.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
It's everything that they've known.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Yeah, and it's that sense of safetyliarity brings.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Right and it's gone absolutely Yeah. Now, how do you
what about with children? I'm sure you know obviously there
are kids out there who their school have burned, has
burned to the ground, their homes have burned to the ground,
and you've got to hold it together in front of
those kids.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
You absolutely do.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, you can't break down.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
No, I think you can't break down. But I think
there should be an open discourse policy in which you
can tell your children how you're feeling, and they can
tell you how they're feeling. But you can feel what
you want to feel, but you have to be able
to handle it right.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, And I like my daughter. We recently last year
we lost our dog, Ernie and we took him to
the vet and I after the doctor came back with
the diagnosis, which wasn't good, I broke down in front
of my daughter and she said to my wife. I've
never seen Dad do that. I've never seen Dad cry
(06:58):
like that. I've never seen Dad breakdown like that.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
What was that like for you to work down in
front of us?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Oh? I didn't mind that. I didn't mind that. I
just that dog meant the world.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And I still can't drive by the vet where we
had him put down. I got to go around it.
I got to drive like in Moron, I gotta drive
like three miles around it just so I don't pass
the vet.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Well, animals are so precious to us.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
I've had countless of people reach out to me or
the years who've lost a pet, and they really don't understand.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
It doesn't make sense to them.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's weird, right, yes, But I think why, you know,
we're so attached to pets and maybe a pet, you know,
during this can you know it is some kind of
you know, great relief. But I think we're so attached
to the pets. Like if you like, I bet you know,
if your mom or dad or both are still with us,
you may speak to him once a couple of days
on the phone, and you might see him two or
(07:51):
three times a year, but that dog is with us
every single day.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
The dog is with us every single day.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
The dog is unconditional of yeah, it doesn't really have expectations, right.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And we had a bad dog. We had a dog
that attacked everybody. It barked all the time, It bit me,
it attacked me. It was the worst dog ever. And
I missed that dog every day.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I think that's something that maybe we should talk about.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I know.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I missed. I guess I missed the abuse. That's possible.
That's a great angle. All right, we're going to come back.
We'll talk some more about also COVID. How COVID has
affect kids. I have a couple of theories on that.
You know, my daughter went through it. She lost a
year and a half of schooling over it, and I
think there's a long term effect on kids. We had
(08:38):
doctor ray Kuscherry come on with us during COVID and
he predicted while COVID was happening. He said, they've got
to open the schools immediately or else these kids are
going to be affected for the rest of their lives.
We'll come back and talk to us. Sarah dash if
you want to go to the website, let me give
you the website. It's Sarah s A R, A H
(08:58):
and then dash d ash. Don't put the dash in
dash MFT dot com. Okay, all right, that's great.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Sarah Dashes with Us a therapist who helps a lot
a lot of people, man a lot of people dealing
with anxiety. And hey, kids are dealing with anxiety. The floods,
the fires, these plane crashes, it seems like everything's piling up.
All right, Sarah, let's talk about long term COVID with
these kids. I've noticed with my daughter, she's nineteen, she'll
(09:36):
be twenty in October, and I've noticed that, you know,
because you know, she's friends with other kids, you know,
in the neighborhood, and I'm from school. I noticed that.
Like when I was seventeen, I moved out of the
house and I could never imagine moving back in.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I got a job, I paid for my apartment. The
car crappy car, but it was a car. But now kids,
there's you know, there was no real desire to get
a license, no real desire to get out there and
see the world. It's odd. Do you think COVID had
anything to.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Do with them.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
You know, I think COVID certainly could have.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
It was such a such a time of isolation, and
I think that we all got used to not being
out in the world to a certain degree, and for
a kid who's in that launch stage, I think it
seemed a lot more frightening to launch, right.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And I think that you know, my daughter, she's an
only kid, so you know, being out of school for
eighteen months was very, very difficult. But she never complained.
She had one day where she was, you know, depressed
about it, but other than that, she never complained. I
couldn't believe it. Man, if I was locked in the
house for eighteen months, I'd be complaining every day. Yeah,
(10:45):
getting radical, but I think it's but I think the
maturity of keeping these kids out and distancing themselves from
their social group really hurt them.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I think it did. It absolutely hurt them.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
There you see the psychosocial delays, you know, they're not
It's how we practice for life, right.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Is when we're a kid and we're engaging with other kids.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Right, Like when you go to college. You know, I
don't know if you learn much in college, but I
think what you learn is where your buzz is you
know how to gauge your buzz. Yeah, and so you know,
so when you're fifty five, you don't get drunk at
a holiday party and throw up on everybody. You learn
that in college, you learn where your limit is. But
but there's you know, obviously, when you grow up, especially
(11:28):
I don't know out here in Los Angeles. You know,
if you grew up in New York or Boston, and
everybody's within a block or two of you, your friends,
your family, everybody lives in the same community community. But
out here we're so spread out and sprawled out. I
think that though, that during COVID, I think social media
really helped these kids where they can they can zoom
meetings and have, you know, contact with their friends. If COVID,
(11:51):
if zoom or texting or FaceTime didn't exist, I can't
imagine how traumatic would be for these kids.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
I think social media being able to connect over devices
helped in that way, right. I also think that the
increased screen time had some negative effects.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I'm sure it does because when when you're much younger
than I am. But when I went to school, school
was over at two twenty pm every Friday, and it
didn't start Monday till late am. So if I didn't
get invited to a party, and there were parties that
didn't get invited to, I didn't know it on Monday, right,
But now these kids know instantly that they weren't invited. Yeah,
(12:32):
you know, they get they get photos from the from
the party that they're not at.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I think you're either having a great time or you're
having a pretty tortuous experience.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Right exactly. But then again, I don't know what the
answer is. You know. I know a lot of these
schools when when my daughter was younger, they used to
have the daddy daughter dance, then the mommy daughter dance
or the mom and son dance. And I went and
there were a bunch of other you know, dads there.
I got. I hooked up with a bunch of dads.
The kids were while we're while we were talking, but
(13:02):
they don't do the daddy daughter dance, and they were
for daughters that don't have dads. They canceled it. Well
that's sad, Yeah, it is sad, you know. And and
and those the kids that didn't have fathers, they should
have been incorporated into it somehow, But why cancel the
whole thing?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yeah, I don't understand why you couldn't have any parent
bring you.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Or you're bring you exactly. Yeah, it doesn't mean it
doesn't have to be a dad or you know, you're right,
it should have been kid parent or a kid guardian
or a kid you know whatever. Yeah, kid and somebody
older than you what it should have been? All right?
But but COVID, I think COVID had a long term effect.
And how do how do kids deal with that? How
(13:43):
do kids deal where you know, they were out of
school for a year and a half and and they're
really jealous. I notice of when they find out kids
in Florida were out for two weeks or in Georgia
for three weeks, and here they were out for eighteen months.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
You know, I think that one of the things is
for a kid to understand that just because they had
that abnormal at that time, they can move on and
have the quote unquote normal experience that it doesn't preclude
things from being as they wish they would be in
the future.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Right, But what are some what are either books they
can read or is something they can practice to sort
of try to get over there, or is it just
opening up and communicating their feelings about it.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
I think it's opening up and communicating feelings. I think
it's spending quality time with peers.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Oh I see, okay, yeah, all right, and I think
that's great. I always, you know, my daughter's on her phone.
I always. You know, it's a it's such a positive
and such a negative. You know, you want to tell
them to get off the phone. But then I've I've
seen kids that have grown up where they didn't get
any phone rights, and they've gone nuts too, So you
(14:55):
never know what to do. You know, it's you don't
get when you have a kid. It doesn't come with
a handbook.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Now, and kids, you know, they pick it up from parents.
The phone is the lifeline. Our whole world is in
our phone. So you start taking a lifeline away from
a kid, they're not going to be very happy.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, I think you're right. My daughter is a teacher's
assistant at a school at LAUSD, and she came home
and she was telling me how how great this five
year old kid was. That this five year old kid
would you know, compliment her and talk about and talk
to her almost like an adult, but just a very
(15:30):
sweet young girl that's in my daughter's class, and I said,
I said, by chance. I said, I don't know that
kid's name, but does that kid have a mom and
dad who are still together and live at home? And
she said, yeah, how'd you know? I said, wow, it
just seems like, you know, if it's a sweet kid
who's funny and who has a personality, I think they
(15:51):
had the advantage of having two parents.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
I think it is an advantage. A two parent home
is always great. It's just not their reality.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah. I know for a lot of people it's not.
And you know, you know, either divorce or something happens,
you know, the mom or dad had passed away. But ideally,
you know, in my case or in my experience, when
I run into kids who have you know, mom and
dad at home that are still married, that they seem
to be a little comber in life.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
It's stabilizing.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Yeah, there are two people who are there to take
care of you at the same time rather than one.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Right. What are some but I don't know you recommend
books or whatever. Are some books that you've read in
the past that really have helped out more.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Than anything I've ever read. I would say mindfulness that
kids learn how to tolerate their distress, by feeling safe
being distressed for short periods of time, and mindfulness doesn't
have to mean a yoga to retreat. It's breathing exercises
for you know, five minutes, and that can make a
huge difference in recalibrating regulation.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
People can go to your website and there's more information there,
Sarah desh s A R A H d A s
H M F T dot com. I appreciate you coming in.
Thank you so much here and go to the website
and there's information there. And you also do teletherapy absolutely,
so people don't have to be here in La to
(17:22):
to get some therapy.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
No, they can be on the top of a mountain.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah. That is one of the advantages with computers and
Zoom and all that stuff is that you literally can
have patients from around the world, you know, just over
the internet. That's thank you for coming in.

Well, thanks, man, I appreciate that. Yeah, she's a therapist.
She does a great work around here.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
You know, it's funny. I have a lot of friends
that lost everything, and you know when I asked them,
they all said the same thing. They all said, at
least I'm not Tim Conways, the guy wakes up bad.
His old dog bit him, drum goes anywhere. A lot
(18:52):
of these people were so grateful. But when they would say,
you lost the house, you lost your car, I said, guys,
at least you're not thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
That's great, man. You know this is.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I gotta thank you, Tim. You really made them feel better.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Thank you very much, budd. I really appreciate that. Hey,
so you never had tiny Tim on. That was a
Johnny Carson guest.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
So that was a Johnny Carson gay. I'm trying to
think if I did have time. No, I don't think
I did. I don't think I did. That was Johnny said.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Who was your first guest on the Tonight Show?
Speaker 4 (19:28):
My first cast was the same as my last guest.
It was Billy Crystal.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Yeah, Billy and I have been friends for a long time, so.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I didn't know that. You never drop his name every
time I asked him, who ask you your friends with you?
Never Billy Crystal. I think you're in. I don't think
you're that close with him.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Well, you asked me who my first and last guest
was at Billy Crystal?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
The only person I never had on was Tim Conway.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Wait, my dad went on with you didn't Oh your dad?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Boy? Yeah? Yeah, I said you can come on, kid,

Speaker 2 (20:05):
I when when when did you do your first Tonight Show?
What year?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Uh? Nineteen ninety ninety two?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I think yeah as a guest ninety two?
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Did you kill You mean?
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Are you one day first doing is a Canadian or
host as a comedian? Oh? March seventh, nineteen Uh, March seventh,

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Do you have written down?
Speaker 4 (20:34):

I know the day of the year. Oh, I think
seventy seventy six, nineteen seventy seventy seven, seventy seven.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Okay, nineteen seventy seven. So we're coming up on the
March second is right around the corner.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
You're going to celebrate then, Yes, huge party, Yes, celebration. Yeah, yeah,
I celebrate my hundred eighteen and I felt I did
forty and thirty one show, so wow, what he wanted?
And you're to be drunk.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Hey, do you ever go back and watch any of them?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah? Everything's on YouTube. It's fun going back, and it's
kind of watching somebody else. You know. It's so funny
because how do you know if your jokes are funny
because you know him. But when you watch a joke
he did forty years ago, you can look at objectively
because you have no memory of doing the joke. Oh,
it is funny. You know.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Hey, I know you're uncomfortable with this, but I'm going
to bring it up anyway. No, No, David Letterman, uh,
you know. And one of those stations right now they're
running all of his old clips from his old show,
the David Letterman Show or the Late Show, whatever it was.
And and it's such a stark difference between now and then,
(21:48):
because back then he was funny.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
No, you know, it's different days. Guy. I always thought
you know what I started. I remember I went in
the comedy store and I saw Letterman performed for the
first time, and very nervous, but a great wordsmith and
great joke. He came up to me and he said,
how can be so common relaxed? You know? I said,
(22:14):
Michail was with you, great with freezyology. He wouldn't want
say beverage instead of drink, you know, he'd always be
a bit more formal. And I thought it's just a
very clever. So we had a mutual admiration. You know,
my the fight, my best time in my career. We're
doing the Letterman Show. Because when I do with Johnny
back stay, Jeorge goes, thank you, miss the cards and
go call me Johnny. I go up back East. I
(22:36):
can't call you, Johnny, I gotta call. When Letterman was
a contemporary, you know what I would do when I
did Letterman Show. I get there early and a new
day came down to make up about four point thirty
for the five seventy paysons, and I would stand outside
makeup with an enormous meatball sandwich I'm eating. He goes,
how many you eat before him? O daghing? And then
(22:59):
I start to bringing your family down onto the stage.
It was just so much fun.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
That is great. I love I loved your story about
Chevy Chase wanted to do a talk show so he
could spend more time with his kids, and that was
so foreign to you.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, that was I mean, it's a lot of work
doing the show. You got to see the movie. You
gotta read the books.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You know, you got to do all of that, you know, right,
But when somebody would come on, did you have somebody
read the book for you? Or you read it?
Speaker 4 (23:28):
I know, I read the book and I see every movie,
you know. I mean, you know the audience can tell,
you know, I mean they realized, you know. No, no, yeah,
you gotta be true to yourself.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Hey, did you watch the SNL special yesterday?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
No, no, I didn't. I didn't see it. I heard
it's pretty good. It was it good.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
It was beyond horrible.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Oh I didn't see it. I didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, it was the worst, but you know it was.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
It was. It was an unusual show to do because
I went in and we would pitch Joe. I know
that some of the writers would laugh and I just wouldn't.
And I thought, well, you think you'd be polite and laughing. Well, no,
it was such a competitive atmosphere there that everybody just
(24:16):
laughed at their own stuff. And you know a lot
of times they would go through writers fairly quickly. See
you didn't know, you know, when I had the Tonight Show,
I hired writers for a year. I'm give a year.
They can't do it in the year, we'll move on.
But it gave him a chance to find my voice
and experiments and have and have a good time. So
we wound up having almost the same writers for the
(24:37):
whole twenty two years.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Jay Leno's with us, and you gave people shots. You
didn't go out and hire writers. You went out and
hired guys who were you know, security guards or maintenance
guys who were funny.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Yeah, I mean we got a lot of It was
fun discovering comics. That was one of my favorite things.
I was like it when Johnna said, I'm not glad
you're in a good mood. My next guess a young
man making a community. You you know they were and he
would always a quad for you, and he was he
was great. He was great to the comedian. They really
enjoyed doing it with him. You know, it's really weird
now because what a lot of shows do now to
(25:10):
save money they bring ten comics in Get a Night
when you asked THEODI to stay and have each comic
go one right after another, and they missed the whole
thing of being part of a show. It's you and
Diana Ross and somebody else, you know. And then they
would just drop the edited comics in a certain show.
It's just it's different now, the whole it's the whole
(25:31):
different game.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Did you have Norm McDonald? Quite often?
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Many times? I love Norman just the oddest, genuinely odd
character and a generally funny person without saying anything, just
his phraseology and this odd way of speaking, and oh,
I love Norm. He he used to he used to
bring his mom to see me because I wore clean.
(25:56):
He didn't bring his mom to his own show.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
That's great, you know, clean he had. He had a
very funny line. He was on with Larry King and
he's and he told Larry King. Larry said you are
you married? And he said no. He goes, h, I'm
a deeply, deeply, deeply closeted homosexual. And Larry said, oh,
so you're gay. He goes No, He goes, Larry, what
(26:20):
are you doing.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
My sam nor MacDonald joke. You probably know this joke.
This guy goes into a story, says, uh, let me
have a Polish sausage. Guy says, are you Polish? I go, uh,
you know, I don't know what that has to do. No,
In fact, I find that a little bit of Celtic.
If I stand and asked the Chinese, see, do you
(26:45):
ask the Chinese if I said I wanted to pizzas
to getting me fault? And do you ask if I'm Italian?
Why did you ask me if I was Polish? He said,
because this is a hard wrest.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
That is. What are you driving right now? What? What
year is the car right now?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
I'm driving nineteen ninety one gmc cyclone pickup truck. Wow,
I'll tell you how. I tell you how I got
this truck. You'll you'll love this stuff. Okay, My wife
and I go to my wife is loves Christmas and
we all had to have the biggest, most beautiful tree,
not that everybody never just just to get the biggest, right.
(27:25):
So we drive, we go to Beverly Hills and this
is ninety one and most trees with thirty five dollars
to forty dollars. This tree was eighty five dollars, and
I said, oh, I love you. I go hunting your chief. No,
but they said free delivery. I said, all right, well
least it's free. So I said, I'll tell you what'll
take that tree?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
There.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
The guy goes, Okay, where do you live? The Beverly Hills.
Get the street here, he goes, that's about a mile
and a half outside of Arizona. I go, I'm buying
your most's kinsive tree. He goes, I'm just counting. We

I said, wait here his MC truck dealer across the street.
I want him. I bought a truck. My wife leaving
an hour. I came back to the truck. I said,
(28:06):
put the train in the back of the truck.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
That's such a great story. How about how about you
got a story of every one of those cars?
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Oh, most of them have a pretty good strong that's
one of my favorite.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I tell people, Oh, it's my Christmas tree, trying to say, oh,
it must be some lovely story. Yeah, you tell me.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
That's awesome. Jay, thanks for phoning call us again. We'd
love to have you on. Hey last I'm not a
bigong with you, all right there, he goes jay Leto.
That guy is great man. He always calls us. He's
got always great, great stories. That guy's the best. I
used to watch him and take that show all the time,
jay Leto on the tonight show, I missed that program.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Man. You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
kf I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Hey, we've got some problems out in Palace Verdict. Yeah,
beautiful area out there, and they got rat Beach out there,
right after Torrents. They call it rat Beach. Petros lives
out there, and the Petros and Money show spectacular views.
You see Cataline on a clear day cliffs. You can
(29:18):
hear the ocean. People out there. They've been out there
for generations. Once people move to Rolling Hills, you know
the peninsula out there, they never move. They love it
out there, they love the community. But now we got
mischief makers. Police are warning of nighttime burglaries in Palace Vertus.
(29:39):
Palace Vertics estates that whole area no good, no good.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Poulos Vertas estates. So police are calling these burglaries at
dinner time.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Burglaries.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Like you said, they're happening during the evening hours when
people are out to dinner, and police say multiple homes
have been targeted here since the start of the new year,
and of course, to a community alert that was sent
out by the Paulos Verdes Estates Police Department, the timeframe
of these burglaries is between January first through February fourteenth.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Okay, while we're all dealing with the fires the floods,
these guys are breaking into homes.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Of these burglaries is between January February fourteenth, police shared online.
In several of these incidents, windows were smashed. Police also
say there were four additional burglaries they believed to be unrelated.
Two were at the same home on Via Opata. Police
suspects were arrested in both of these cases.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Oh let me tell you a secret here. I got
a friend who's on LAPD and he told me this,
And this scares the hell out of people, But you
got to be aware of it. If your home gets
broken into and they don't catch the guys that did it,
there's a fifty percent chance that that home is going
to get broken into again. In the next month because
(31:01):
they got a preview of what of the crap you have,
and they're going to come back to steal the stuff
that they couldn't take the first time. So if your
home has been broken into, I don't say, oh, there's
no way lightning can strike twice. It's going to strike twice.
So if your home got broken into, be prepared for these,
(31:24):
as George Carlin calls them, life's most interesting guys, they
might be coming back, so be aware of that. I
don't want to scare the hell out of you, but
you got to be aware of it.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
Police also say there was a burglary of a garage
and a residential burglary during the daytime hours on Avenide
and Rolla Policey detectives are pursuing all leads and working
with other law enforcement agencies.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
Well, I'm confident in the police departments around here, so
if it's something that's ongoing, they'll catch them pretty soon.
But as far as my concern, I have a watchdog here.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
This guy's living in nineteen seventy eight. They took video
of a guy who lives in Palace Vertus in nineteen
seventy eight, and here's the audio.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
Well, I'm confident in the police departments around here.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah, I got my Mercury wagon. I just went to Woolworthst.
For lunch. I gotta go buy some shoes at Standard
Shoes and then Little Orange Julius before I retire and
watch Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
So if it's something that's ongoing, yeah, they'll catch them
bother you.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (32:26):
But as far as my concern, yeah, I have a
watch dog.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah, that's right, I got a dog. Why would they
ever come into my house? I got a dog. Well,
these new guys they spray the dog with mace or
they kill the dog. So this is not nineteen seventy
eight gang. I don't know where this guy's living, but
he's in the seventies.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
I have a watch dog here.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, okay, we at least he laughed at that. He
knows what. Dog's not gonna do anything.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
I have a watch dog here. Just be vigilant.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, that's all you gotta do is be vigilant. Right,
Just be vigilant and get out there and enjoy the
Wiener Factory or maybe go to Malibu Grand Prix over
the weekend. Yeah, just enjoy yourself. Nineteen seventy five, and
the stay in the Palace Vertus the States. Maybe go

(33:18):
nineteen seventy five, what the hell? Just be vigilant, Yeah,
just be vigilant. It's the seventies. God mighty, this guy's
in a different century. Just be vigilant, all right.
Speaker 7 (33:30):

Speaker 2 (33:33):
That's right, that's all you gotta do. Windows closed, doors locked.
You'll be fine.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Man.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Obviously keep your your doors locked, windows closed. Yeah, and
if you see someone that doesn't belong around here, then
say something.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Call the police.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
There you go, and police are reminding everyone who lives
in this area to set an alarm and to leave
the lights on if you're going to be out to dinner,
