Episode Transcript
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
All right, that we had Governor Newsom in town and he said he's going to carve out more Democratic seats in California if Donald Trump does that in Texas.
Okay, well, whatever's going on in Texas is going on in Texas.
But does he seriously think that you're going to get counties to flip over to Democrats who voted for Donald Trump by seventy eighty percent without a fight.
Speaker 2You don't.
Speaker 1You don't think those guys are going to fight like hel against that.
I don't know what he's talking about.
What counties he's going to flip, because the Blue counties are the entire coast, all the coast counties with the exception of Del Norte, which I believe means the north, and all of these blue counties along the coast, they all voted for Kamala Harris, all of them except for the most northern is county.
And then Inland they all went for Trump except for three four five counties.
All of them voted heavily for Donald Trump.
I mean, even Riverside went for Donald Trump, so did San Bernardino current county went for Donald Trump.
Ino another one, Tailaire or Tillarry King's county, Fresno went for Donald Trump.
Madera, Mariposa, and Merced all these counties that I just mentioned.
San Joaquin is another one.
And then up in northern California way up north north east corner where you get Modoc, m O Doc that went for Donald Trump.
Speaker 2I sev.
Speaker 1You think the people in Modoc are just going to lay over and have their leadership.
It's all Republican locally mayor, county supervisors, city council, all of the you know, judges, everybody is a conservative up in those counties.
Speaker 2And and.
Speaker 1Governor knew some things.
He's just gonna walk into those counties and flip them blue.
He's gonna have a major fight on his hand.
I mean, hope, hope it doesn't turn to violence, but these people aren't going to tolerate that.
So I don't know what counties he's gonna flip without a fight, because there are going to be fights, whether it's just yelling or whether people will come out, you know, with rioting or anger or weapons.
But they're not going to sit back and tolerate that.
So I don't know what counties he's talking about.
I don't know how he's gonna re right the districts in California to favor five to ten more Democratic seats.
Speaker 2I don't know how he's going to do that.
Speaker 1The coast all voted for Kamala Harris, all the way from San Diego, Orange County, La County, Ventura, right up the coast, Santa Barbara, San Luis, Obispo, Monterey, and then up north's Santa Clara, San Francisco.
All of them are on the coast, Sonoma, California, Mendocino, all the wealthy counties, Humboldt, all the money on the coast, all voted for Democrats.
Speaker 2You gotta wonder if the mass exodus that we've been talking about from California is going to play a part in this.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 1I don't know, but I mean, people just say that mass exodus is a false alarm, that there are more people moving into the California moving out.
Speaker 3I don't know.
Speaker 2I don't know, but I've heard that a lot of people are moving back already.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1I think people move out for two years, yeah, and then they're like, yeah, I gotta get back.
I can't take this anymore.
But there's no way that some of these especially in northern California, He's going to have a serious fight on his hand.
And I'm not talking just people writing letters.
You know, these people are all armed to the teeth.
Up in Lasson County, it went seventy six percent for Trump, and he thinks he's going to walk in and turn that blue.
That's how civil wars start.
And you will get that from Modoc, from Lassen, from is it Plumbus County up there, Sierra Sierra County is not going to tolerate that.
And so I don't know what he's talking about.
Maybe he's talking about a few that are closer to fifty to fifty by that will start a civil war in the state and thousands of people will be killed if that happens, it will it will start a civil war.
These people in the real red districts in this state are as red as the southern part of this country that Donald Trump and Laston County got seventy six percent of the vote.
Seventy six percent of the vote.
That's something you see in Alabama, or in Tennessee or South Carolina or Florida, and that's probably even more than you would see in those in those states.
And for him to say, oh, we're just going to flip those counties blue, it's not going to be easy and it may be impossible as well.
So we'll see, we'll see how that all shakes down.
But there's going to be a major fight on his on his I think he knows that too, and I think the people that announced that that's going to happen also know it, and maybe they want that for some strange reason.
Who knows, but there if you tried to do that up in those northern northeastern counties, you will have a civil war.
They will fight to the death before they make that change.
Speaker 2I know these people, I.
Speaker 1Know them, and they they are all armed to the teeth and they don't want anything to do with Newsome or that party.
Speaker 4You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1We'll have the four o'clock hour up there where we had Steph Fuche on his mom and dad and two of the five people that save Steph Fusch's life.

Every single year we support this huge money maker to try to help people who are suffering from mental ailments.
It's called the Brody Stevens Comedy Benefit, and Brody Stevens had some psychological challenges and every year they get together and raise money.
And this is unlike the same as every other Tommy God Love is with us, Tommy with us.
Speaker 3I'm right with you man, tolong.

Speaker 3So anytime that we reach out.
Speaker 5To Bill Burry, he's always willing to help out.
And yeah, he's going to be there at our show this August eighteenth at the Comedy Store.
Speaker 1Okay, so it's August eighteenth comedy store and all the money goes to a to benefit.
I think it's called Comedy Gives Back.
Speaker 2Is that correct?
Speaker 5Yeah, Comedy Gives Back.
It's spearheaded by three women.
Did you know who Bob or Budd Friedman was sure?
Speaker 2Yeah, the U was the owner of the Improv.
Speaker 5And the Improv Yes, well his his daughter created the Comedy Gives Back because she knows the life of a stand up comedian.
And with two other people women, they started Comedy Gives Back and they are the UH safety net for.
Speaker 3The comedy community.
Speaker 5What they believe is that UH comedians should only fill alone on stage, but once they're off stage, it's unacceptable for them to fill alone.
Speaker 3And they want to help them out with.
Speaker 5Any kind of with services, mental health brants, anything with their bills and stuff like that.
So it's an amazing UH nonprofit that we're associated with, and we want to help comedians because they're they're definitely need our help and we want to make sure that nobody uh unfortunately takes their lives.
You know what mental health is very uh you know, a big thing and UH and stand up comedians and we want to we want to help them out, you know, I mean, because they dedicate their whole lives to making people laugh, and we want to help them out.
Speaker 1And I'm sure that that stand with comedians.
You know, if not ninety percent of them, maybe ninety five percent of them have all gone through challenges because you don't have, you know, twenty minutes of great jokes on stage without going through a tremendous amount of pain earlier in your life.
Speaker 5Yeah, I mean a lot of these people, you know, you know the household.
Speaker 3Names, the Jay Lenos, the.
Speaker 5Jim Carrey's and all that, but there's so many comedians that are dedicated lives that are out there that are struggling a lot of them just go from gig to gig and they don't have that support system that the household names have.
And that's when comedy gives back.
And they know exactly how a standing up comedian their life is, and we want to help them out.
Speaker 3We don't want them to fill alone.
Speaker 5And what comedy gives back.
And with the comedy story, the world famous comedy store I called the Mecca, you know what I mean, if you think of any count any stand up comedy club, it's the Comedy Store.

Speaker 6That would be you.

Speaker 1When's the last time you think I worked out in the gym how many?
Speaker 2How many months or years?
I'm going to say never, never?
Never?
Okay, that's wrong.
Speaker 6You've worked out in a gym?
Speaker 2Yes, really, yes, And I can't remember.
Speaker 6You told the story about how you signed up for a gym.
Speaker 1I sign up for a gym with my wife.
It was twenty four hour Fitness on Magnolia in Huntington Beach.
I signed up for me and her, and six months later I went back to cancel the membership without ever going once, and I canceled it.
Speaker 2And I and the guy said, this has got to be a record.
I said, what do you mean.
Speaker 1He goes, I've never had a guy sign up six months later cancel without ever.
He goes, we don't have you ever showing up here.
We didn't, we didn't scan your card once.
I said, yeah, I know I'm canceling.
And he said I think, and he goes, I think that's a record, and I said no, no, my wife has the record.
She never even showed up to cancel or to sign up foot in the building.
She never signed up, never worked out, never canceled.
Speaker 6So then, when was it last time you worked out in a gym?
Speaker 1I think it was Bally's in Tarzana, Ally's in Encino.
Speaker 2I think it was nineteen eighty, seventy nine or eighty.
Speaker 6And what was your workout when you went?
Did you do the circuit?
Speaker 3What you do?
Speaker 6Took an aerobics class?
Speaker 1Well, okay, this would happen.
I was in a machine.
It was Nautilus back then, and you know, all these machines were new.
So I get in and I'm pushing, pulling one lever and pushing another, and I'm trying to lay down flat so I can push the way bench press.
I couldn't figure out what it was.
And then a construction guy comes back.
He goes, hey, get out of the scaffolding.
Now that's that's a Brian Reagan show.
Speaker 6I believe it to be a true story.

Speaker 7Okay, throwing ding dong at check out for a little extra something something, Okay, excellent.
Speaker 2We'll do that.
Speaker 4You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Maya from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1If you're tuning in last week at this time, we were all wondering where the hell is Steph Fusch.
He didn't show up to work, he didn't text, we tried to.
Speaker 2Call him, nothing.
Speaker 1He was in the hospital after a radical crash.
And there's two of the five people that saved his life, and his parents and his stepfather came in today at the four o'clock hours, So please go and download that hour.
Speaker 2We'd appreciate it.
Halloween is here.
I see it in the stores.
Speaker 1I see Halloween decorations everywhere, and it makes my wife a little crazy.
Speaker 2I like it.
Speaker 1I decorate early for Halloween.
I start decorating for Halloween September first.
My wife hates it because we're two months out, but I start decorating September first, and I started doing that during COVID because I take my you know, take the kid's mind off it.
The kids, you know, live around the street, and just to do something a little more festive, take people's mind off how crazy it was.
Speaker 2And I continued the tradition.
Speaker 1So September first, which is two and a half weeks away, I'll be put on folloween decorations.
So this doesn't bother me at all, not at all.
Speaker 2I love it.
Speaker 8Sholbers are seeing scary sites with spooky decorations popping up during the hottest month of the year, and it's being referred to as summer Ween.
The National Retail Federation says nearly fifty percent of people start purchasing Halloween items well before October.
Speaker 2That's right.
Speaker 8So here to discuss what's causing retailers to go all in on the trend is retail analysts and financial expert Heatha Herstog.
Heatha, thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 3We appreciate it.
Speaker 8So we're still almost a month out from Labor Day, and yet the shelves are filling up with candy cobwebs, and witches.
Speaker 3What's happening here?
Speaker 2Yeah, what's going on?
Heathaw was it Heatha Hawsworth?
Is that her name?
Speaker 6A couple of things are happening.
So, as we know, people have this nostalgia.
Speaker 9Aspect around halloweens, So having something like summer Ween gets people thinking about nostalgia, gets people thinking about this exciting experience that's happening in October.
Speaker 6And that's what we call the experience.
Speaker 2To me, as we want to.
Speaker 1Be better as hollowmerr like hollow and then the last syllable of summer hollowmerr like summer ween sounds awful, awful.
It sounds like a bisexual swingers party.
Speaker 2Hey, you want to got a summer Ween?
Nah?
Nah, I'm not in that group.
Speaker 9As we've seen, so many tent pole events have been built around this experience economy, and in this case it's summer Ween.
Speaker 2Summer Ween.
They got to change the name of that, right.
Speaker 9But we're also from an operation standpoint, a retail operation standpoint.
Retailers, as we've seen supply chain shocks happening, retailers have to get ready months sometimes you know, nine months before the actual event happens so that they can ensure that the product is in stock during October.
So it feels like we are seeing these things earlier and earlier.
We certainly are, but it's really a retailer's tactic to make sure that something is.
Speaker 6In the.
Speaker 2Loser.
We're losinger in the.
Speaker 8Before and so just how much our store is able to benefit from bringing out these items.
Speaker 2You want to know a secret that people do.
Speaker 1They buy Christmas decorations from from a very particular store, a maybe you should name the store hobby Lobby.
They buy crap for Christmas from hobby Lobby a month before Christmas, decorations for the house, interior, exterior.
And because hobby Lobby takes everything back, they return it all after Christmas, so they have to store it and they can get new stuff next year.
Eighty five percent of the Christmas decorations that are purchased at Hobby Lobby are then returned after Christmas.
Isn't that really the exact opposite of the Christmas spirit?
Ladies and gentlemen who are listening right now.
Isn't that somewhat disgusting?
I think it is all right.
Speaker 2Download the first hour of the show.
Speaker 1Steph Fusha's whole family is here and I'm off to the Sagebrush Cantena for a little karaoke at eight o'clock, so I'll see you over there.
