Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
On the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hey, Universal Studios is going to host a virtual open
audition for studio tour guides.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And I thought, oh, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You know what, everybody else is firing everybody, but Universal
is hiring people. And then I remembered that Heather Brooker,
who does a news here on KFI. Not only was
she a star of the show The Office, but she
was also a tour guide a Universal and she's with us.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Heather, how you hi?
Speaker 4 (00:40):
How are you? Yes?
Speaker 5 (00:42):
I was how long?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
We were talking a long time ago?
Speaker 6 (00:46):
So I was a tour guide at Universal for about
five years and I started off as a regular tour
guide and worked my way up to a VIP guide.
And yeah, so every year when this rolls around, when
they do their auditions, they call them auditions, and I
get excited because I remember what it was like and
when I auditioned. It's a little different now than when
(01:08):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Right, But did you were you the one of the
people that said, oh, that shark's coming. Hope it doesn't
get any of us.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Oh, yes, what was the thing you had to say there,
let me see.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
If I can remember.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
So we set it up when we're going through the
area and try to distract people so they're not like
looking at the water and they're like with.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
The shark pop popped out of the water.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Then we go, oh, that's Bruce, you know, Steven Spielberg
named him famously named him after his attorney. And then
we play a clip about, you know, from Steven Spielberg
talking about how the shark had a lot of problems
and never worked right on the.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Set and people got to kick out of that.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Stark really freaks people out there, They really get scared.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Wait, Spielberg talked about his lawyer having a lot of
problems with the shark.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
Well, maybe bo.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Did you also you know, I did you have to
do that? Oh it's raining, it's raining, Here comes the flood?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yes, one thousand percent.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
And Paul Giamatti was still that's the clip from the clip.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
That we used to use from his movie. Was I
think they still play it on the tram but.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
It's uh, yeah, the fake flood where we talk about
how we turned the sprinklers. They turned the sprinklers upside
down to create a more natural waterfall.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Effect.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
See. When I auditioned, there was about three hundred.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
People in line, you know, and I was relatively new
to LA. I worked, you know, for one of the
local TV stations, and I was looking for a more
fun like part time job because you know, news is
a bummer sometimes and I wanted to do something fun.
There was about three hundred people there when I auditioned,
and we stood in line, and it was different because
we met the hiring team and the managers in person,
(02:56):
and you went in and they interviewed you for probably
thirty seconds, and they knew within thirty seconds if they
were going to call you back.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Well, I got called back to.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
The next session. The next round, if you will, was
at the.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Beverly Oh God, hell over there, Yes.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Yes, thank you, the Beverly Garland.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And they set it up.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Like American Idol style, so they would call you up
in groups. You would have to do improv you would
have to read from a script, and then they would
cut you. They would like, okay, number.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
One, you can go. Number two, you're saying number five
you can go.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It was brutal, brutal and made it so how many
of the three hundred people that auditioned.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
How many made it, so there was twenty five people
in my class. Wow, there was twenty five of us
and only I think nineteen made it through past training
because once you got through the audition process, it very
much was like a reality show. Once you made it
through the audition process, there was three weeks of paid
training that we went through, and I believe they still
(03:57):
do that now. And you're given a ton of information,
like a huge binder about the history of the entire studio.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
You have to learn what filmed and what sound stages.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
You have to learn, you know, what areas of the lot.
You can't talk about what you can talk about like
we were not. We were told I guess I can
reveal it now, but we're told we can't talk about
where Steven Spielberg's offices are on the lot. You can't
talk about this mog in La, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
And we were assigned, Oh go ahead.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I had a friend, a guy named Brett Simmons, and
he became a tour guide at Universal. He really enjoyed it,
and he was drunk at a party one night and
he said, Tim, he goes believe it or not, it's
it's almost as difficult to be a tour guide at
Universal as it is to become a Navy seal. And
I said yes. I said, well, I said, thank you
(04:52):
for giving me the option.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I'm going to go. You said, believe it or not,
I'm going to go with not.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
I go with not.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
I will say it's it was a highly competitive and
it is highly sought after job because they look for
people that are entertainers.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Because they have a lot of flexibility and they have a.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Lot of benefits, especially for actors. They tend to lean
towards hiring actors because they want people who know how
to put on a show, like part of the tram tour.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Is a performance.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
You're telling jokes, You're you know, you're being a little cheesy,
little corny. I got in trouble a couple of times
because my jokes were a little edgy, little raunchy at times.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
But, uh, did you work job?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Did you work blue?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I kind of didn't. I did.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'd love to see that.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
I was gonna say I probably shouldn't have.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
But but it was a fun job, and they made
it fun.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
They really it was a fun experience.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I think it's still a fun job. One thing I'll
tell you is that when I started, I got paid
eight bucks an hour. Wow, Now it starts at twenty one.
That's crazy, right, Like, are dramatic difference for a fun
part time job.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I think it's a cool job.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
But when you said, you know, Steven Spielberg came on
and talked about the shark on the video, I'm not
aware of that.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Are there videos on the tram now? Are their video screens?
Speaker 9 (06:16):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Oh yeah, Tim, you got to you gotta go and
take a tour. You got to go take a tour.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
It's all they have it. They have video screens that
they play with sound clips and from the movies and
TV show.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Shot a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I don't know how how long ago you did it.
I imagine what in the nineteen eighties, nineties.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Two thousand, twenty years ago?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Okay, But when I first went to Universal Studios tour
when I was a kid, you know, in the in
the seventies, it was just the tour. You'd go up
there and you'd park and you'd stand in line to
get on the tram. You do the whole tram. Then
you get off the tram and you go home.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Wow. Really they didn't have the park.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Was not in the park would didn't exist. It was
the tram, Get on the tram, off the tram and
go home.
Speaker 10 (07:02):
You know that.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
We used to have to tell the story about how
when it started off. It started off where they sell
the tour the back of Carl Lemley started Universal Studios.
They sell the tour and with your tour ticket you
would get like a dozen eggs with your tour because
it was also a farm and a movie studio. So
like it has changed a lot, and the tour guys
(07:23):
now are great. You know, there's a few. Listen sometime.
I'll tell you who's really good and who isn't if
we have time, but.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
I will spill all the team.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
That's great. I'm glad you did.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Then if somebody's interested, they should definitely check it out.
I certainly made a lot of great friends and it
was a great experience for me. And the VIP stuff woo,
that's like, that's another level. If you've got VIP tour money,
then that's the way to go.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
What does that run a couple hundred bucks an hour?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
No, that's like.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Three hundred and fifty dollars for the day, and you
get your own private guide, you get a private lunch spot.
You also get to get off the tram and walk
around the studio lot and see.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Where they actually do the filming. It's a really good
deal for what you get.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh, that's kind of cool deal, Heather. I appreciate you
coming on with us. We'll see you around the hallways.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Buy anytime.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
All right, thank you, There she goes Heather Brooker. Yeah,
I'm old school man. When I was a kid in
the seventies, we'd drive up there. I think it was
fifteen or eighteen bucks for the tour. You'd pay your money,
you'd stand in a long line, and then you get
on the tour. You do the whole tour for two hours.
You get off, there's a gift shop there, and you
go home. That was all of Universal Studios.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
There was no rides, there was no restaurants, there were
no booths, there was nothing. Wow, there's no shows. You
get on the tram, you get off the tram, you
go home. And how much of that are you aware of?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
That?
Speaker 7 (08:45):
Of the tour that's different than what it was back then. Now,
I think it's one hundred percent different. They used to
have They used to go through sound stages and they say, oh,
this is a hot set. You know, don't touch anything
on a hot set, right, And then still get occasionally
you do take the tour.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
But yeah, and then they had a McHale's Navy mock
up with the blue screen behind it, and they just
out of random, out of you know, the one hundred
kids that were there that day, they picked me to
be uh, my dad's character on Michael's Navy.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Isn't that crazy? That's awesome to.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Be totally random? Wow, what are the odds of that? Yeah,
to be uh, you know Parker.
Speaker 11 (09:25):
They still had the old like go by the Psycho
House then, yeah, and the old like Frankenstein Dracula, the
set that they still go by now that's sort of
like horseshoe shaped areas.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Gilligan's Island was that back then? And and also on
one of the tours, we saw and people with nuts.
We saw Lucille Ball walking around. Whoa how great is that?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
So?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I mean that's when you saw real a list celebrities
walking around the Universal Lot.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Now it's you know, King Kong and uh, you know
the ride of the Simpsons ride in the Earthquake, And yeah, Yeah,
there was earthquake, right, earthquake, King Kong. You know the
hot sets, the McHale's Navy, this Parting of the Sea, Jaws. Yeah,
but Jaws was one of the newer things, you know.
(10:13):
When I went on it, it wasn't even Jaws. It
was the Parting of the Sea. I don't know if
they still do that where the tram goes through the
you know, the lake or the river or whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But it was a it was a great event.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
When we went as kids, we look forward to it
for months, you know, like, hey, we're going to go
in April. My dad would tell us in like December,
Hey we're gonna go in April. We had to behave
until April came around or we were going. But that's
a cool deal. All right, we'll come back. We'll tell you.
I'll tell you real quick when we come back, how
you can be a tour guide. I'll just give you
the dates and when they're looking for people.
Speaker 12 (10:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
We talked to Heather Brooker. She was a tour guide
at Universal Bellio was a tour guide at Warner Brothers.
So we're pretty packed with tour guides around here. The
open call at Universal Studios is April twenty third through
May fourteenth, and you could be a tour guide at
Universal Studios. If you'd like to leave us a talkback,

Speaker 8 (11:35):
All right.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
We had a lot going on today, man, a lot
going on today.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
They caught that guy cutting all the trees down and
downtown Los Angeles. So that's over for now until there
is a repeat, a copycat, and that always happens in LA,
so we'll wait for that.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That'll happen, that's sure to happen.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
But they caught the guy. That's a big story. They
caught the guy cutting the trees down in downtown Los Angeles.
Let's find out more about what's going to happen to
this chap.
Speaker 13 (12:08):
Detectives say multiple trees chomped down since mid last week
in downtown LA and it was not part of some
city cleanup or other project. Police nabbing a suspect, forty
five year old Samuel Groft, who was arrested yesterday, which
was Earth Day.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
We're here today to announce the arrest of mister Samuel
Patrick Groft, who was wanted for felony vandalism by using
a handheld chainsaw to destroy and cut down trees and
three separate LAPD divisions, Central Division, Northeast Division, and Rampart Division.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Did you hear that? Good morning, good afternoon, and good night.
The three divisions that got nailed Central Divisions Central and
Downtown LA, Northeast Division Northe's got a little bit of it,
and Ramparts Rampart to the west.
Speaker 10 (12:58):
Mister Groft is suspected of you using a power saw
to cut down multiple trees on six different incidents in
the downtown Los Angeles community, the Westlake District as well
as Glass Cell Park.
Speaker 13 (13:12):
Detective saying they located evidence linking Graft, who they say
is homeless, to the bizarre crime.
Speaker 14 (13:18):
As soon as we identified in, we put a crime
alert flyer that went out to neighboring divisions.
Speaker 8 (13:25):
With that.
Speaker 14 (13:27):
Crime flyer, Rampart developed its leads and ended up affecting
an arrest.
Speaker 13 (13:33):
Detectives have no motive for the crime, but they say
more than half a dozen trees were destroyed and there
could be more.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I don't think there's a motive for that. I think,
you know, just a holary is in play.
Speaker 13 (13:44):
The price tag to replace the trees steep this in
a city with a billion dollar budget deficit.
Speaker 14 (13:51):
We developed another lead, we got three additional trees, but
the amount that was given to us before those additional
trees was three hundred and forty seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Wow, three hundred and fifty grand to replace all those trees,
man oh Man.
Speaker 13 (14:06):
And again, the biggest hiccup in this whole story is,
of course, again a motive. Stay tuned, folks. Five a
downtown La Leo Starwart ABC seven nine is new.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, you know when he says this a motive, stay tuned, folks.
Stay tuned, folks.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
That's another guy giving up Like most of us, you know,
we report on crime. Leo Stalwart does channel two four
five eleven nine, And it's every night, it's every day.
And I don't know when when we're gonna get tired
of it and do something about it. But so far
(14:42):
we're not there. We are not there yet, not yet.
I think we're getting closer, but not quite there. All right,
More theft going on, this time cargo.
Speaker 15 (14:54):
The LAPD making a massive bus the agency's cargo theft
unit arresting two members of a South American ft group
for possessing stolen cargo will. They say they recover nearly
four million dollars worth of stolen property. Stolen goods included tequila, shoes,
and clothes. Investigators also say they intercepted a stolen shipment
of bitcoin mining computers wow, worth more than two million
(15:16):
dollars before it can leave Lax for Hong Kong.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
All right, so four million dollars worth of.
Speaker 15 (15:21):
Why stolen goods included tequila, shaquila, quila, shoes, shoes, clothes,
and clothes.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
All right, Well, they're getting some of it, bag, but

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Simone Biles is in the news. What's going on with her?
She might miss the Olympics? Is that right? Is that
what I'm hearing?
Speaker 16 (18:28):
Simone Biles saying she's not sure if she will compete
at the next games in Los Angeles, telling a French
magazine quote, twenty twenty eight seems so far away and
my body is aging. I felt it in Paris, so honestly,
I don't know. We'll see Biles saying I've accomplished so
much in my sport for me to come back, it
would really have to excite me. As anticipation grows for
(18:49):
the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics, questions have been swirling
around whether Bios will make yet another comeback after her
disappointment in Tokyo in twenty twenty, she came roaring back
in Paris, leading Team USA and winning three gold medals
and a silver.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Is that right? That's a cool Olympics for her.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
I think it was just so I was so full
of emotion and I finally released all of that.
Speaker 16 (19:13):
She's dropped a few hints here on today.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
You know, you never say never.
Speaker 17 (19:18):
The next Olympics is on home turf, so you just
never know.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Oh, she's going for sure, She's going to be in
it for sure.
Speaker 16 (19:25):
Now, Biles assuring fans she'd be in Los Angeles no
matter what, but quote, whether on the apparatus or in
the stands, I still don't know that. The superstar relishing
life away from the gym floor with their husband's Chicago
Bear safety Jonathan Owens.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Well, wait a minute, let me go back here.
Speaker 16 (19:41):
Now, Biles assuring fans she'd be in Los Angeles no
matter what, but quote, whether on the apparatus or in
the stands, I still don't know that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Okay, Well, that's a big difference, you know, competing and
sitting in the stands drinking beer is a big difference.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Like, I don't have that option.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
My only option is being in the stands or not
being in the stands, Not being in stands or competing
for gold medal hope she does to.
Speaker 16 (20:08):
Superstar, relishing life away from the gym floor with their
husband's Chicago bear safety Jonathan Owens, saying I'm really trying
to enjoy life, and also praising the next generation of gymnasts,
especially rival and friend Rebecca Androgi. After the two shared
legendary moments in Paris, Bile's saying, now if I go on,
(20:28):
she'll end up beating me, and I don't want that
to happen. You have to finish on top. Now it's
up to her to take over.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I think she's right. I think you have to finish
on top. I was listening to Petro's papadecas. You know him,
Belly all right, he does the Petros and Money program
over there.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, sure, Yeah, I love that guy.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
He said that there are very few, and I believe him,
very few careers in athletics, and on a high note
or the way the athlete wants almost all of them.
You see a guy crying while he's retiring, and he's
depressed out of his mind, and it ends. I think
(21:07):
Elway was the only guy that really sort of retired right,
won a Super Bowl retired. He owns every car dealership
in Denver. Hell, he even has car dealerships out here.
You can buy a John Elway car out here. Does
He's going to Manhattan beach? Oh man has got it
going on. Why isn't John Elway advertising on this program?
(21:29):
I love John Elway?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Belly? Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Can you hook that up?
Speaker 18 (21:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
All right, excellent, all right, all right? We might have
when we come back. Scientists detect new evidence possible life
on a distant planet. This is interesting and cool, even
if you don't like space. We might have human beings
on another planet. It's a big discovery.
Speaker 12 (21:55):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six four.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
We have the talkbacks. But first, there might be life
on another planet. Let's find out if we have human.
Speaker 18 (22:07):
Being in a distant corner of our own galaxy, a
planet that could have an atmosphere with molecules dot on
Earth only come from life.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Wow.
Speaker 18 (22:16):
The planet is identified as K two eighteen b two
and a half times the size of Earth and molecules
which on Earth are associated with phytal plankton, basic microscopic life.
Speaker 15 (22:28):
It is very important, but we also have to be
extremely cautious.
Speaker 18 (22:32):
Cautious because planet K two eighteen B is one hundred
and twenty four light years away.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Too far, too far.
Speaker 18 (22:40):
Seven hundred and twenty nine trillion miles. What seven hundred
and twenty nine trillion miles I will never get A
modern NASA rocket would take four and a half million
years to get there.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Ah, we're never going to get there, all right, f
it too far? All right, let's get into the talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Here.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
People are sending talkbacks. You click on the little red
microphone on our website, can't I am sixty dot com,
and then we can play them on the air.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Let's get into them. Talk back.
Speaker 5 (23:09):

garage door years ago kept opening in the middle of
the night, and we couldn't figure out why.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And you're sitting on the clicker.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
And finally it opened, and someone stole all my husband's tools.
Speaker 12 (23:32):
What the hell?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
But soon after that we found out what was causing it.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Ah, she ran out of time. We got to like
talk back and tell us the rest of that story.
She had a great story. I know she man with
the end of that story. Please, I love that chick.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
I just somebody else said that to me. It's just
a tuxedo shirt. I didn't have anything else clean, but
it's it's iron though, it's iron. Yeah, okay, Well I
take it to the cleaners only because the guy is
good at handicapping horses, and he gives me a couple
of horses, all right, yeah, and then I pay him
(27:44):
and so it works for both of you. That's right,
that's exactly right. So but my wife said, hey, so.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
We're going to a cleaners because the guy's good at handicapping.
I'm like, Okay, I get it.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I got it.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, we are by the way, and we're still going.
What's going on the Big Show night, Bob.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
We're gonna be giving away a family four pa to
Disney on Ice into the Magic Tomorrow Night's show at
the Ontario Toyota Arena.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Oh that's a cool deal.
Speaker 9 (28:07):
Oh absolutely So if you watch our YouTube stream.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
It's going to be live on there.
Speaker 9 (28:12):
We're going to give a password clue away that you
have to have when you call in for the tickets.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
That guy, Daniel does an unbelievable job. Daniel Firgut. He's
a great mind. Yeah, how do you find him again?
Speaker 9 (28:22):
We have friends in common as far as he's done
this work for a number of other radio personalities and properties,
so this is what he does.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I like watching it, you know, he's a pro through
and through. I was watching at the other day. My
wife and daughter went to Nordstrom rack and I sat
my car watching your show. I appreciate that's where I
am in life.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I don't know if that's a compliment or not.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
My life is so sad I'm watching you. I would
rather be in the car watching you than go to
Nordstrom Rack. That's I think what it says, Well, there's
nothing for us at north from Rack. I know that
because that was one of my first jobs. You know
what they sell there, used shoes. I don't know if
you want to look at the shoes that they sell there,
but the bottoms are always dirty. So somebody had them
for a month, they returned them, and then you're gonna
now have them.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
That's probably correct because north Strum accepts all returns.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
That's right. From anywhere? Yeah, yeah, anywhere? All right.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'll be listening tonight to the Mo Kelly Show. Nice
to see you, buddy Kings Tonight, Go Kings Go.
Speaker 9 (29:21):
Hopefully it won't be as such a nail bider. Can
you keep a lead please?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I know they were up for nothing on Monday and
my wife walked through the living room.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
She goes, oh, they're before nothing.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
They got this and I go sit down, baby, I've
been through fifty years of this. Yes, it's gonna be
a rough night, all right. Mo Kelly's okre up next.
I'm k if I am six forty
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
On the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hey, Universal Studios is going to host a virtual open
audition for studio tour guides.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And I thought, oh, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You know what, everybody else is firing everybody, but Universal
is hiring people. And then I remembered that Heather Brooker,
who does a news here on KFI. Not only was
she a star of the show The Office, but she
was also a tour guide a Universal and she's with us.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Heather, how you hi?
Speaker 4 (00:40):
How are you? Yes?
Speaker 5 (00:42):
I was how long?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
We were talking a long time ago?
Speaker 6 (00:46):
So I was a tour guide at Universal for about
five years and I started off as a regular tour
guide and worked my way up to a VIP guide.
And yeah, so every year when this rolls around, when
they do their auditions, they call them auditions, and I
get excited because I remember what it was like and
when I auditioned. It's a little different now than when
(01:08):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Right, But did you were you the one of the
people that said, oh, that shark's coming. Hope it doesn't
get any of us.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Oh, yes, what was the thing you had to say there,
let me see.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
If I can remember.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
So we set it up when we're going through the
area and try to distract people so they're not like
looking at the water and they're like with.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
The shark pop popped out of the water.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Then we go, oh, that's Bruce, you know, Steven Spielberg
named him famously named him after his attorney. And then
we play a clip about, you know, from Steven Spielberg
talking about how the shark had a lot of problems
and never worked right on the.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Set and people got to kick out of that.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Stark really freaks people out there, They really get scared.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Wait, Spielberg talked about his lawyer having a lot of
problems with the shark.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
Well, maybe bo.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Did you also you know, I did you have to
do that? Oh it's raining, it's raining, Here comes the flood?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yes, one thousand percent.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
And Paul Giamatti was still that's the clip from the clip.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
That we used to use from his movie. Was I
think they still play it on the tram but.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
It's uh, yeah, the fake flood where we talk about
how we turned the sprinklers. They turned the sprinklers upside
down to create a more natural waterfall.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Effect.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
See. When I auditioned, there was about three hundred.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
People in line, you know, and I was relatively new
to LA. I worked, you know, for one of the
local TV stations, and I was looking for a more
fun like part time job because you know, news is
a bummer sometimes and I wanted to do something fun.
There was about three hundred people there when I auditioned,
and we stood in line, and it was different because
we met the hiring team and the managers in person,
(02:56):
and you went in and they interviewed you for probably
thirty seconds, and they knew within thirty seconds if they
were going to call you back.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Well, I got called back to.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
The next session. The next round, if you will, was
at the.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Beverly Oh God, hell over there, Yes.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Yes, thank you, the Beverly Garland.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And they set it up.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Like American Idol style, so they would call you up
in groups. You would have to do improv you would
have to read from a script, and then they would
cut you. They would like, okay, number.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
One, you can go. Number two, you're saying number five
you can go.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It was brutal, brutal and made it so how many
of the three hundred people that auditioned.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
How many made it, so there was twenty five people
in my class. Wow, there was twenty five of us
and only I think nineteen made it through past training
because once you got through the audition process, it very
much was like a reality show. Once you made it
through the audition process, there was three weeks of paid
training that we went through, and I believe they still
(03:57):
do that now. And you're given a ton of information,
like a huge binder about the history of the entire studio.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
You have to learn what filmed and what sound stages.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
You have to learn, you know, what areas of the lot.
You can't talk about what you can talk about like
we were not. We were told I guess I can
reveal it now, but we're told we can't talk about
where Steven Spielberg's offices are on the lot. You can't
talk about this mog in La, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
And we were assigned, Oh go ahead.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I had a friend, a guy named Brett Simmons, and
he became a tour guide at Universal. He really enjoyed it,
and he was drunk at a party one night and
he said, Tim, he goes believe it or not, it's
it's almost as difficult to be a tour guide at
Universal as it is to become a Navy seal. And
I said yes. I said, well, I said, thank you
(04:52):
for giving me the option.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I'm going to go. You said, believe it or not,
I'm going to go with not.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
I go with not.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
I will say it's it was a highly competitive and
it is highly sought after job because they look for
people that are entertainers.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Because they have a lot of flexibility and they have a.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Lot of benefits, especially for actors. They tend to lean
towards hiring actors because they want people who know how
to put on a show, like part of the tram tour.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Is a performance.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
You're telling jokes, You're you know, you're being a little cheesy,
little corny. I got in trouble a couple of times
because my jokes were a little edgy, little raunchy at times.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
But, uh, did you work job?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Did you work blue?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I kind of didn't. I did.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'd love to see that.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
I was gonna say I probably shouldn't have.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
But but it was a fun job, and they made
it fun.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
They really it was a fun experience.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I think it's still a fun job. One thing I'll
tell you is that when I started, I got paid
eight bucks an hour. Wow, Now it starts at twenty one.
That's crazy, right, Like, are dramatic difference for a fun
part time job.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I think it's a cool job.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
But when you said, you know, Steven Spielberg came on
and talked about the shark on the video, I'm not
aware of that.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Are there videos on the tram now? Are their video screens?
Speaker 9 (06:16):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Oh yeah, Tim, you got to you gotta go and
take a tour. You got to go take a tour.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
It's all they have it. They have video screens that
they play with sound clips and from the movies and
TV show.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Shot a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I don't know how how long ago you did it.
I imagine what in the nineteen eighties, nineties.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Two thousand, twenty years ago?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Okay, But when I first went to Universal Studios tour
when I was a kid, you know, in the in
the seventies, it was just the tour. You'd go up
there and you'd park and you'd stand in line to
get on the tram. You do the whole tram. Then
you get off the tram and you go home.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Wow. Really they didn't have the park.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Was not in the park would didn't exist. It was
the tram, Get on the tram, off the tram and
go home.
Speaker 10 (07:02):
You know that.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
We used to have to tell the story about how
when it started off. It started off where they sell
the tour the back of Carl Lemley started Universal Studios.
They sell the tour and with your tour ticket you
would get like a dozen eggs with your tour because
it was also a farm and a movie studio. So
like it has changed a lot, and the tour guys
(07:23):
now are great. You know, there's a few. Listen sometime.
I'll tell you who's really good and who isn't if
we have time, but.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
I will spill all the team.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
That's great. I'm glad you did.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Then if somebody's interested, they should definitely check it out.
I certainly made a lot of great friends and it
was a great experience for me. And the VIP stuff woo,
that's like, that's another level. If you've got VIP tour money,
then that's the way to go.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
What does that run a couple hundred bucks an hour?
Speaker 4 (07:51):
No, that's like.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Three hundred and fifty dollars for the day, and you
get your own private guide, you get a private lunch spot.
You also get to get off the tram and walk
around the studio lot and see.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Where they actually do the filming. It's a really good
deal for what you get.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh, that's kind of cool deal, Heather. I appreciate you
coming on with us. We'll see you around the hallways.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Buy anytime.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
All right, thank you, There she goes Heather Brooker. Yeah,
I'm old school man. When I was a kid in
the seventies, we'd drive up there. I think it was
fifteen or eighteen bucks for the tour. You'd pay your money,
you'd stand in a long line, and then you get
on the tour. You do the whole tour for two hours.
You get off, there's a gift shop there, and you
go home. That was all of Universal Studios.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
There was no rides, there was no restaurants, there were
no booths, there was nothing. Wow, there's no shows. You
get on the tram, you get off the tram, you
go home. And how much of that are you aware of?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
That?
Speaker 7 (08:45):
Of the tour that's different than what it was back then. Now,
I think it's one hundred percent different. They used to
have They used to go through sound stages and they say, oh,
this is a hot set. You know, don't touch anything
on a hot set, right, And then still get occasionally
you do take the tour.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
But yeah, and then they had a McHale's Navy mock
up with the blue screen behind it, and they just
out of random, out of you know, the one hundred
kids that were there that day, they picked me to
be uh, my dad's character on Michael's Navy.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Isn't that crazy? That's awesome to.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Be totally random? Wow, what are the odds of that? Yeah,
to be uh, you know Parker.
Speaker 11 (09:25):
They still had the old like go by the Psycho
House then, yeah, and the old like Frankenstein Dracula, the
set that they still go by now that's sort of
like horseshoe shaped areas.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Gilligan's Island was that back then? And and also on
one of the tours, we saw and people with nuts.
We saw Lucille Ball walking around. Whoa how great is that?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
So?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I mean that's when you saw real a list celebrities
walking around the Universal Lot.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Now it's you know, King Kong and uh, you know
the ride of the Simpsons ride in the Earthquake, And yeah, Yeah,
there was earthquake, right, earthquake, King Kong. You know the
hot sets, the McHale's Navy, this Parting of the Sea, Jaws. Yeah,
but Jaws was one of the newer things, you know.
(10:13):
When I went on it, it wasn't even Jaws. It
was the Parting of the Sea. I don't know if
they still do that where the tram goes through the
you know, the lake or the river or whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But it was a it was a great event.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
When we went as kids, we look forward to it
for months, you know, like, hey, we're going to go
in April. My dad would tell us in like December,
Hey we're gonna go in April. We had to behave
until April came around or we were going. But that's
a cool deal. All right, we'll come back. We'll tell you.
I'll tell you real quick when we come back, how
you can be a tour guide. I'll just give you
the dates and when they're looking for people.
Speaker 12 (10:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf

May fourteenth, and you could be a tour guide at
Universal Studios. If you'd like to leave us a talkback,

downtown Los Angeles. So that's over for now until there
is a repeat, a copycat, and that always happens in LA,
so we'll wait for that.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That'll happen, that's sure to happen.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
But they caught the guy. That's a big story. They
caught the guy cutting the trees down in downtown Los Angeles.
Let's find out more about what's going to happen to
this chap.
Speaker 13 (12:08):
Detectives say multiple trees chomped down since mid last week
in downtown LA and it was not part of some
city cleanup or other project. Police nabbing a suspect, forty
five year old Samuel Groft, who was arrested yesterday, which
was Earth Day.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
We're here today to announce the arrest of mister Samuel
Patrick Groft, who was wanted for felony vandalism by using
a handheld chainsaw to destroy and cut down trees and
three separate LAPD divisions, Central Division, Northeast Division, and Rampart Division.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Did you hear that? Good morning, good afternoon, and good night.
The three divisions that got nailed Central Divisions Central and
Downtown LA, Northeast Division Northe's got a little bit of it,
and Ramparts Rampart to the west.
Speaker 10 (12:58):
Mister Groft is suspected of you using a power saw
to cut down multiple trees on six different incidents in
the downtown Los Angeles community, the Westlake District as well
as Glass Cell Park.
Speaker 13 (13:12):
Detective saying they located evidence linking Graft, who they say
is homeless, to the bizarre crime.
Speaker 14 (13:18):
As soon as we identified in, we put a crime
alert flyer that went out to neighboring divisions.
Speaker 8 (13:25):
With that.
Speaker 14 (13:27):
Crime flyer, Rampart developed its leads and ended up affecting
an arrest.
Speaker 13 (13:33):
Detectives have no motive for the crime, but they say
more than half a dozen trees were destroyed and there
could be more.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I don't think there's a motive for that. I think,
you know, just a holary is in play.
Speaker 13 (13:44):
The price tag to replace the trees steep this in
a city with a billion dollar budget deficit.
Speaker 14 (13:51):
We developed another lead, we got three additional trees, but
the amount that was given to us before those additional
trees was three hundred and forty seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Wow, three hundred and fifty grand to replace all those trees,
man oh Man.
Speaker 13 (14:06):
And again, the biggest hiccup in this whole story is,
of course, again a motive. Stay tuned, folks. Five a
downtown La Leo Starwart ABC seven nine is new.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, you know when he says this a motive, stay tuned, folks.
Stay tuned, folks.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
That's another guy giving up Like most of us, you know,
we report on crime. Leo Stalwart does channel two four
five eleven nine, And it's every night, it's every day.
And I don't know when when we're gonna get tired
of it and do something about it. But so far
(14:42):
we're not there. We are not there yet, not yet.
I think we're getting closer, but not quite there. All right,
More theft going on, this time cargo.
Speaker 15 (14:54):
The LAPD making a massive bus the agency's cargo theft
unit arresting two members of a South American ft group
for possessing stolen cargo will. They say they recover nearly
four million dollars worth of stolen property. Stolen goods included tequila, shoes,
and clothes. Investigators also say they intercepted a stolen shipment
of bitcoin mining computers wow, worth more than two million
(15:16):
dollars before it can leave Lax for Hong Kong.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
All right, so four million dollars worth of.
Speaker 15 (15:21):
Why stolen goods included tequila, shaquila, quila, shoes, shoes, clothes,
and clothes.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
All right, Well, they're getting some of it, bag, but

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Simone Biles is in the news. What's going on with her?
She might miss the Olympics? Is that right? Is that
what I'm hearing?
Speaker 16 (18:28):
Simone Biles saying she's not sure if she will compete
at the next games in Los Angeles, telling a French
magazine quote, twenty twenty eight seems so far away and
my body is aging. I felt it in Paris, so honestly,
I don't know. We'll see Biles saying I've accomplished so
much in my sport for me to come back, it
would really have to excite me. As anticipation grows for
(18:49):
the twenty twenty eight Summer Olympics, questions have been swirling
around whether Bios will make yet another comeback after her
disappointment in Tokyo in twenty twenty, she came roaring back
in Paris, leading Team USA and winning three gold medals
and a silver.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Is that right? That's a cool Olympics for her.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
I think it was just so I was so full
of emotion and I finally released all of that.
Speaker 16 (19:13):
She's dropped a few hints here on today.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
You know, you never say never.
Speaker 17 (19:18):
The next Olympics is on home turf, so you just
never know.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Oh, she's going for sure, She's going to be in
it for sure.
Speaker 16 (19:25):
Now, Biles assuring fans she'd be in Los Angeles no
matter what, but quote, whether on the apparatus or in
the stands, I still don't know that. The superstar relishing
life away from the gym floor with their husband's Chicago
Bear safety Jonathan Owens.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Well, wait a minute, let me go back here.
Speaker 16 (19:41):
Now, Biles assuring fans she'd be in Los Angeles no
matter what, but quote, whether on the apparatus or in
the stands, I still don't know that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Okay, Well, that's a big difference, you know, competing and
sitting in the stands drinking beer is a big difference.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Like, I don't have that option.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
My only option is being in the stands or not
being in the stands, Not being in stands or competing
for gold medal hope she does to.
Speaker 16 (20:08):
Superstar, relishing life away from the gym floor with their
husband's Chicago bear safety Jonathan Owens, saying I'm really trying
to enjoy life, and also praising the next generation of gymnasts,
especially rival and friend Rebecca Androgi. After the two shared
legendary moments in Paris, Bile's saying, now if I go on,
(20:28):
she'll end up beating me, and I don't want that
to happen. You have to finish on top. Now it's
up to her to take over.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I think she's right. I think you have to finish
on top. I was listening to Petro's papadecas. You know him,
Belly all right, he does the Petros and Money program
over there.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, sure, Yeah, I love that guy.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
He said that there are very few, and I believe him,
very few careers in athletics, and on a high note
or the way the athlete wants almost all of them.
You see a guy crying while he's retiring, and he's
depressed out of his mind, and it ends. I think
(21:07):
Elway was the only guy that really sort of retired right,
won a Super Bowl retired. He owns every car dealership
in Denver. Hell, he even has car dealerships out here.
You can buy a John Elway car out here. Does
He's going to Manhattan beach? Oh man has got it
going on. Why isn't John Elway advertising on this program?
(21:29):
I love John Elway?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Belly? Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Can you hook that up?
Speaker 18 (21:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
All right, excellent, all right, all right? We might have
when we come back. Scientists detect new evidence possible life
on a distant planet. This is interesting and cool, even
if you don't like space. We might have human beings
on another planet. It's a big discovery.
Speaker 12 (21:55):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six four.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
We have the talkbacks. But first, there might be life
on another planet. Let's find out if we have human.
Speaker 18 (22:07):
Being in a distant corner of our own galaxy, a
planet that could have an atmosphere with molecules dot on
Earth only come from life.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Wow.
Speaker 18 (22:16):
The planet is identified as K two eighteen b two
and a half times the size of Earth and molecules
which on Earth are associated with phytal plankton, basic microscopic life.
Speaker 15 (22:28):
It is very important, but we also have to be
extremely cautious.
Speaker 18 (22:32):
Cautious because planet K two eighteen B is one hundred
and twenty four light years away.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Too far, too far.
Speaker 18 (22:40):
Seven hundred and twenty nine trillion miles. What seven hundred
and twenty nine trillion miles I will never get A
modern NASA rocket would take four and a half million
years to get there.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Ah, we're never going to get there, all right, f
it too far? All right, let's get into the talkbacks.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Here.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
People are sending talkbacks. You click on the little red
microphone on our website, can't I am sixty dot com,

garage door years ago kept opening in the middle of
the night, and we couldn't figure out why.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And you're sitting on the clicker.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
And finally it opened, and someone stole all my husband's tools.
Speaker 12 (23:32):
What the hell?
Speaker 5 (23:33):
But soon after that we found out what was causing it.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Ah, she ran out of time. We got to like
talk back and tell us the rest of that story.
She had a great story. I know she man with
the end of that story. Please, I love that chick.
Speaker 4 (23:50):

I like watching it, you know, he's a pro through
and through. I was watching at the other day. My
wife and daughter went to Nordstrom rack and I sat
my car watching your show. I appreciate that's where I
am in life.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I don't know if that's a compliment or not.

My life is so sad I'm watching you. I would
rather be in the car watching you than go to
Nordstrom Rack. That's I think what it says, Well, there's
nothing for us at north from Rack. I know that
because that was one of my first jobs. You know
what they sell there, used shoes. I don't know if
you want to look at the shoes that they sell there,
but the bottoms are always dirty. So somebody had them
for a month, they returned them, and then you're gonna
now have them.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
That's probably correct because north Strum accepts all returns.
