Speaker 1: It's KMFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Speaker 1: Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow at twelve thirty will be the first Big ten
Speaker 2: game for the USC Trojans, and it could not be bigger.
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 2: Going to the Big House in ann Arbor, Michigan to
Speaker 2: face off against the number eighteen Wolverines. The Trojans are
Speaker 2: number eleven right now. And I grew up as a
Speaker 2: longtime USC Trojans fan, Sorry UCLA. I was always partial
Speaker 2: to the Trojans and that goes back to my father
Speaker 2: taking me to a USC basketball game in the mid
Speaker 2: nineteen seventies and I was a Trojan fan ever since.
Speaker 2: But USC football has been up and down over the
Speaker 2: past two years. I was talking to petros of Petrosen
Speaker 2: Money earlier today. It even he was kind of bullish
Speaker 2: on this team as far as its prospects, the potential
Speaker 2: that it might be able to do something thing. But
Speaker 2: I'm not an sc alum. Tiffany Hobbs, who you will hear,
Speaker 2: paired up with Mark Ronner as they take over for
Speaker 2: me and it's a hosting later with Mo Kelly later
Speaker 2: on tonight. Tiffany Hobbs is an sc alum.
Speaker 3: I grew up.
Speaker 2: Loving the PAC eight, which turned into the PAC ten,
Speaker 2: which turned into the PAC twelve, and now the PAC
Speaker 2: twelve is.
Speaker 3: It's still around, but it's not what it was.
Speaker 2: Did it have any significance to you, Tiffany, when USC
Speaker 2: and UCLA and other schools bolted for the Big ten?
Speaker 4: Absolutely? And first, thank you for playing our fight song.
Speaker 4: I was in here with my V for victory, doing
Speaker 4: our salute and you know, pumping my fingers, and it
Speaker 4: just takes me back. I'm of the Pete Carroll generation.
Speaker 4: I'm of the forty for forty generation, that ESP and
Speaker 4: documentary that was done. I believe if you're thirty for thirty,
Speaker 4: I had the numbers wrong. You knew what I meant, MO,
Speaker 4: But I'm of that ILK. I'm of the Matt Lionard
Speaker 4: and Reggie Lyndell White and all of them. And so
Speaker 4: playing Michigan for me is something that's always been relegated
Speaker 4: to the National Championship, to the Rose Bowl, so that
Speaker 4: we're playing them during season is monumental. It's something we
Speaker 4: usually wait for all year, and now it's at the
Speaker 4: beginning and all of this momentum is just crashing.
Speaker 3: Yes, it has a lot of significance.
Speaker 2: What about the symbolism of the Rose Bowl never again
Speaker 2: being the Rose Bowl what we have always thought it
Speaker 2: to be.
Speaker 4: Right, I'm not happy about that because there's so much
Speaker 4: nostalgia attached to that January first game, just to that
Speaker 4: period of time. So the fact that we're no longer
Speaker 4: going to have the Rose Bowl as kind of a
Speaker 4: marker or like essentially a really significant time in history
Speaker 4: during our football season, it's kind of sad.
Speaker 3: It's a bit bittersweet. I look forward to it every year.
Speaker 4: I don't necessary barely attend, but it's always something I
Speaker 4: look to as the pinnacle of USC football and it's
Speaker 4: no longer there.
Speaker 2: What was it like being a student at USC during
Speaker 2: the Pete Carroll era? You know what it's like when
Speaker 2: it was at its best, and you know what it's
Speaker 2: like when it wasn't at its best. To know when
Speaker 2: you have a Heisman Trophy candidate and or winner walking
Speaker 2: around campus, maybe in class with you, Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: what was that time like?
Speaker 3: It was normal. It was a normal collegiate experience.
Speaker 4: They weren't the superstars they've become. They were well known
Speaker 4: because Athletics is a huge part of USC in every
Speaker 4: field for the most part, with football being the biggest.
Speaker 3: But you noticed these people.
Speaker 4: I befriended these people just as classmates. I had Reggie
Speaker 4: Bush in classes. I had Matt Lioner sitting behind me
Speaker 4: in sociology and we were swapping notes.
Speaker 3: So are you just showing off now? Huh?
Speaker 4: And you know, again, it was a very normal experience,
Speaker 4: but you did know that these students were special and
Speaker 4: that they were being celebrated outside of our little cacophony
Speaker 4: on campus. Pete Carroll, on the other hand, was absolutely
Speaker 4: a celebrity. Oh really, Oh my god. He walked around
Speaker 4: and I swear it was like the Red Sea. It
Speaker 4: just parted. People just moved out of his way as
Speaker 4: Pete Carroll walked through campus, and he couldn't have been
Speaker 4: a nicer person.
Speaker 2: Twenty years or so later, now, Reggie Bush has been
Speaker 2: reinstated as far as USC, He's gotten back his Heisband trophy.
Speaker 2: But I don't know how people may feel about Pete
Speaker 2: Carroll in the years since, given the loss of scholarships,
Speaker 2: the loss of a national championship, you know, vacating that championship,
Speaker 2: and loss of wins.
Speaker 3: How is he viewed within campus circles. He's still very
Speaker 3: much beloved.
Speaker 4: He's Pete Carroll, and many people, many USC alums, look
Speaker 4: back at that period as being the best stretch of
Speaker 4: USC football, or at least one of the top two
Speaker 4: or three in USC's football history. So Pete Carroll is
Speaker 4: again beloved, He's revered. If he wanted to come back,
Speaker 4: I am dollars to donut sure they would have him back.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he would go back to college.
Speaker 4: For me, he wouldn't, but if he wanted to, he could.
Speaker 4: I think he always has a home at USC. So
Speaker 4: does Reggie Bush, so do many others who come from
Speaker 4: that from that family.
Speaker 2: Well, look, this is kind of like a pre cross talk,
Speaker 2: So let me just ask you this before I let
Speaker 2: you go. You are going to be co hosting with
Speaker 2: Mark Ronner, who's usually in the news booth, but you
Speaker 2: two are both going to be steering the Lady with
Speaker 2: Mo Kelly ship tonight. Yeah, don't wreck it, okay, Please,
Speaker 2: don't run it aground, don't think it, don't do anything
Speaker 2: that I wouldn't do.
Speaker 3: Is we're going to treat it like a cruise.
Speaker 5: Mo.
Speaker 4: And that's something that you would be happy to be
Speaker 4: on with us. Okay, I know a lot about cruising.
Speaker 4: It won't be the naked cruise. I know you guys
Speaker 4: were talking about looking at yourselves in the mirror naked
Speaker 4: and you enjoying that.
Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait, don't confuse stories.
Speaker 2: I said, me looking at myself in the mirror is
Speaker 2: for when I'm at home.
Speaker 3: I would never go on a naked cruise.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I tell people all the.
Speaker 2: Time the idea of certain things is not the same
Speaker 2: as the reality.
Speaker 3: Like if you've ever.
Speaker 2: Been to Black's Beach, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 2: have you ever been to like a nude beat you
Speaker 2: think like, oh, it'd be great.
Speaker 3: No, it's not. It really isn't. It's not.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of skin, a lot of flopping and
Speaker 4: flapping around.
Speaker 3: Gravity is not everybody's friend.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: And the same thing, I shouldn't tell too many stories.
Speaker 2: All I'm saying is, yes, get on a cruise ship tonight.
Speaker 4: Okay, just don't get on the nude cruise. We won't
Speaker 4: and we will try very hard not to sink your ship.
Speaker 3: Mode. We won't sink your battleship, so to speak. So
Speaker 3: to speak.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. So prediction tomorrow SC Michigan.
Speaker 3: Oh, SC.
Speaker 4: We've won the last two times we've played, We've won.
Speaker 4: We've beaten them a lot, We've beaten the breaks off
Speaker 4: of them. Oh, the last two times we've played, and
Speaker 4: I've I feel like I'm jinxing us now, but I
Speaker 4: do believe very much that we will win.
Speaker 3: We have to win. Yeah, y'all better, we we have
Speaker 3: to win, all right.
Speaker 2: Tiffany Hobbs, Tiffty Hobbs and Mark Ronn are coming up
Speaker 2: at seven o'clock in for me later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2: I wish you all luck, Thank you, Mo, see you
Speaker 2: Conway Show, Mo Kelly here KFI AM six forty live
Speaker 2: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're going to keep the
Speaker 2: sports thing going because you know Caitlyn Clark, she has
Speaker 2: revolutionized women's basketball, especially the w NBA. Well, the w
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs start this weekend, and if you like me,
Speaker 2: you're gonna want to tune in.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you how you can do that. That's next.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Then just a second, we'll give you an update on
Speaker 2: the upcoming w NBA Playoffs, which kicks off this weekend,
Speaker 2: is going to be huge in the world of DWS
Speaker 2: and sports.
Speaker 3: But I have to remind you of this.
Speaker 2: It's Halloween time at the Disneyland Resort and KFI Am
Speaker 2: six forty wants to give you a chance to experience
Speaker 2: all of the frightful fun. The Happiest Halloween has brought
Speaker 2: fiendishly tasty treats, thrills for one in all, and bootifol
Speaker 2: decor to both Disney California Adventure Park and Disneyland Park.
Speaker 2: It's going on right now all the way through Halloween
Speaker 2: October thirty. First, just keep on listening to KFI for
Speaker 2: your chance to win a four pack of one day
Speaker 2: one park tickets to the Disneyland Resort.
Speaker 3: And I'll give you an added hint.
Speaker 2: Keep listening to KFI and Conway Show and later with
Speaker 2: Mokelly for your chance to win a four pack of
Speaker 2: one day one park tickets to the Disneyland Resort. There
Speaker 2: is your only hint you don't get any more. Let's
Speaker 2: talk about the WNBA and on my show later with
Speaker 2: Mokelly Monday through Friday, seven to ten pm here on KFI.
Speaker 2: We were talking about the WNBA long before it was fashionable,
Speaker 2: long before the person by the name of Caitlin Clark
Speaker 2: came on this seen long before she was talked about
Speaker 2: in college at Iowa, And you've heard Tim Carmell Junior
Speaker 2: talking about Kaitlyn Clark talking about how she's changed the
Speaker 2: level of interest, how people started really watching WNBA all
Speaker 2: because of her. Can't deny, but the sport is actually
Speaker 2: a good product once you take the time to watch it,
Speaker 2: learn some of the players, learn some of the team histories,
Speaker 2: the rivalries. Who are some of the big names in
Speaker 2: the sport, and there are some big names, you can
Speaker 2: enjoy it all the better. And Caitlyn Clark has transformed
Speaker 2: what people know and think about w NBA basketball. She
Speaker 2: came in as a heralded rookie. Some people thought that
Speaker 2: there would be an adjustment period, and there was. She
Speaker 2: didn't get off to the greatest start, but she quickly
Speaker 2: found her sea legs and found a way to not
Speaker 2: only survive, but thrive. She's led her team to the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Indi at a fever and it starts on Sunday.
Speaker 7: It's crazy to see since the season began and her,
Speaker 7: you know, playing throughout the season, all of these social
Speaker 7: media takes of people in criticizing her. For those of
Speaker 7: us old enough to know better, it sounds exactly like
Speaker 7: when Jordan first came into the league.
Speaker 2: You know, I would make a slightly different change, a
Speaker 2: different assessment, not like Jordan, because Jordan came in and
Speaker 2: dominated in a points sence, he's.
Speaker 3: A scoring leader.
Speaker 2: I think she's closer in comparison to Magic Johnson as
Speaker 2: far as how is her game formulation.
Speaker 7: As far as the criticism of her, well, yes, the
Speaker 7: what I was talking about is that the criticism I
Speaker 7: see of her, like online all this season has been, oh, yeah,
Speaker 7: she gets all the points and assist but because she
Speaker 7: takes all these shots, and you know, it's like it's
Speaker 7: it's more a matter of the quantity that she's taken
Speaker 7: to get the numbers that she has. And it's like,
Speaker 7: that's what they said about Jordan the beginning.
Speaker 3: She's a rookie.
Speaker 2: There are things that she can improve in our game,
Speaker 2: but she is single handedly most responsible for the turnaround
Speaker 2: of the Indiana Fever franchise as Jordan.
Speaker 3: You know, in many ways, Ran did so much for
Speaker 3: the NBA. You can't argue with success.
Speaker 2: Now, is she the MVP, No, that's Asia Wilson by
Speaker 2: a lot. Is she the rookie of the Year? Absolutely? Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Can she make some noise in the playoffs? We'll see
Speaker 2: they're coming in in the in the sixth slot. They're
Speaker 2: going up against the Connecticut Sun and their first game
Speaker 2: is this Sunday at twelve noon on ABC. To put
Speaker 2: that in perspective, that's like a Sunday NBA game and
Speaker 2: time slot.
Speaker 3: How many how many teams do not make the w
Speaker 3: NBA playoffs?
Speaker 7: I want to say about half really, because they were saying,
Speaker 7: I mean, considering that's that's pretty phenomenal, considering how bad
Speaker 7: that team was before she got there.
Speaker 2: Well, they got to number one draft picks, one number
Speaker 2: one overall draft picks the past two year. They were
Speaker 2: that bad and for the first half of this WNBA
Speaker 2: season they were still that bad, which highlights I would
Speaker 2: say the outsized impact that Caitlyn Clark has had. She
Speaker 2: broke the single season assists record as a rookie. Now
Speaker 2: where I said that she needed to improve her game,
Speaker 2: she also I think broke the record for most turnovers
Speaker 2: in the season, and that has to do with decision making.
Speaker 2: That has to do with just maturing as a player,
Speaker 2: and that will happen with time. And I was saying,
Speaker 2: I more compare her game to Magic Johnson as far
Speaker 2: as making other players around her better. It's not just
Speaker 2: her where on a given night she may throw in
Speaker 2: a triple double, but she may also be the catalyst
Speaker 2: for other teammates doing well.
Speaker 3: She's only going to get better. I mean, just love averages.
Speaker 2: Law of averages, and you know what, And from what
Speaker 2: I can tell, she seems durable in other words, not
Speaker 2: prone to injury.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and she doesn't seem to really or struggle and
Speaker 7: just mentally she seems like she's got the toughness to
Speaker 7: kind of stick it through and get better.
Speaker 2: Oh she does, but she does have to improve her
Speaker 2: ball handling, she has to improve her defense, and yes,
Speaker 2: players do get better. People forget she's only like twenty
Speaker 2: two or twenty three, which means that she's only been
Speaker 2: a fully grown adult in her adult body and skills
Speaker 2: for maybe five years at most. You're not really fully
Speaker 2: matured into well to your twenties.
Speaker 7: She's definitely given an excitement to people who otherwise had
Speaker 7: not given a crap about WNBA before, including myself.
Speaker 3: Right, and again, I can't stress it enough. I hate that.
Speaker 3: You can't hate it now.
Speaker 2: You can dislike her fan base, sure, because a lot
Speaker 2: of them are not actual WNBA fans. They're not knowledgeable
Speaker 2: about the game, and they make these proclamations about Caitlin
Speaker 2: Clark that just aren't true, like saying that she needed
Speaker 2: to be the MVP. No, she's not close. She's had
Speaker 2: a wonderful year, but she's not the MVP of the league.
Speaker 2: That only speaks to you not knowing who the best
Speaker 2: player in the league is, and it's by a lot
Speaker 2: aga Wilson. But could it be next year? Quite possibly.
Speaker 2: She's on a wonderful trajectory.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 2: This game, the Indiana Fever Game, is going to be
Speaker 2: twelve noon Sunday. That's usually reserved for NBA caliber weekend games.
Speaker 2: Could you say that a year ago could not not
Speaker 2: even close. And there's what happens on the court, and
Speaker 2: there's what happens off the court. On the court, she's
Speaker 2: not the best player. Off the court, she's the most
Speaker 2: compelling player. Both things are true. Now she has the
Speaker 2: biggest spotlight on her and careers and legacies are made
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, and she will have more scrutiny now
Speaker 2: than ever before because the casual fan, the non fan,
Speaker 2: the people who are listening down it's like, let me
Speaker 2: check out this Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 3: They're all going to be tuning in on Sunday and
Speaker 3: it's going to remind you of Kobe because his first
Speaker 3: year was not oh you are reading my mind.
Speaker 2: Because that first year that Kobe was with the Lakers,
Speaker 2: they had this series against the Utah Jazz and he's
Speaker 2: best known for throwing up maybe four or five consecutive
Speaker 2: air balls ricks.
Speaker 3: It's a different level of pressure.
Speaker 2: Has nothing to do with ability physical abilities, about being
Speaker 2: able to manage your emotions in the moment. This is
Speaker 2: going to be huge for not only Kitlyn Clark, but
Speaker 2: for the WNBA, and for all the jokes about how
Speaker 2: the WNBA had horrible basketball or it couldn't pay for
Speaker 2: itself and the NBA was subsidizing it. They have a
Speaker 2: massive TV deal which is coming and a rising tide
Speaker 2: lists all boats, all the players will be paid more,
Speaker 2: They'll have a larger slice of the pie. Caitlin Clark
Speaker 2: has been fantastic for the WNBA. It's just now she's
Speaker 2: going to have to put up for everyone to see
Speaker 2: on the biggest stage, and I'm going to be watching.
Speaker 6: You're listening Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 6: six forty.
Speaker 2: Did you know it's been forty years and two days
Speaker 2: since the series finale of Three's Company September eighth excuse me,
Speaker 2: September eighteenth, forty years ago, the final episode of threes Company.
Speaker 2: And it saddens me because, of course, as we get older,
Speaker 2: we have these constant reminders of our mortality. Actress Joyce
Speaker 2: de Witt obviously played Janet is seventy five now and
Speaker 2: she's the last surviving member of that show. And you
Speaker 2: think about other TV shows of the eighties and late seventies,
Speaker 2: and most of them are down to no one left
Speaker 2: or only one person left, like Laverne and Shirley.
Speaker 3: Lenny Is.
Speaker 2: The actor Michael McKeon, who played Lenny, is the last
Speaker 2: surviving member of the show. They have Max the Beverly Hillbillies.
Speaker 2: You have Tina Louise who played Ginger on Gilligan's Island.
Speaker 2: She's the last surviving member. Leave it to Beaver. Jerry Mathers,
Speaker 2: the Beaver himself is the last surviving member, Pam Dauber,
Speaker 2: who played many of Mork and Mindy the last surviving member.
Speaker 3: And so on.
Speaker 2: So we're losing these great actors and actresses from these
Speaker 2: phenomenal TV shows, so it's always good to hear from
Speaker 2: them while we can still hear from them. And Joyce
Speaker 2: to Wit was asked about the fortieth anniversary of the
Speaker 2: series finale of Three's Company, and here's what she had
Speaker 2: to say to US Weekly Magazine. Quote. The most dear, precious, tender,
Speaker 2: and utterly unexpected experiences that have come from working in
Speaker 2: Three's Company are the many, many adults who have told
Speaker 2: me that Three's Company was a safe haven they could
Speaker 2: count on during their teen years.
Speaker 3: For some, the only say haven.
Speaker 2: And it's weird because I fit into that because I
Speaker 2: was watching Three's Company during some of my teenage years.
Speaker 2: Three's Company ran for eight seasons from nineteen seventy six
Speaker 2: to nineteen eighty four. Of course it never really left syndication,
Speaker 2: and if you are not old enough to remember, but
Speaker 2: it was all about Jack Tripper, who was played by
Speaker 2: the late John Ritter, and he moved him too an
Speaker 2: apartment with Janet Wood and Chrissy snow and it was
Speaker 2: a really big deal back then because, as the show goes,
Speaker 2: Jack had to fake as if he was gay to
Speaker 2: be allowed to stay in the same apartment as two women.
Speaker 2: And the running joke was be it mister Roper or
Speaker 2: mister Furley, was that Jack Tripper was supposedly gay and
Speaker 2: he was not any type of sexual threat to Janet
Speaker 2: or Chrissy. And you would think today it's like, how
Speaker 2: does that even work? Why would that even be a
Speaker 2: TV show? And Michael Croach, you remember, it was a
Speaker 2: big damn deal back then.
Speaker 3: He was.
Speaker 7: He's basically the reason why I'm here in La. That
Speaker 7: show and him are the basically the reasons why I
Speaker 7: came out here to La to try to do what
Speaker 7: he did and make people feel the way that he
Speaker 7: made me feel watching him.
Speaker 2: His brand of physical humor was so funny, and I
Speaker 2: don't know if they could have written all that stuff
Speaker 2: in with his facial expressions, his facial contortions, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of physical humor that you just don't see. Well, hell,
Speaker 2: you don't even see sitcoms anymore, but you don't see
Speaker 2: that type of humor done with such genius anymore.
Speaker 7: I still do affectations and sounds and stuff that he
Speaker 7: did like a Yeah.
Speaker 3: He was probably the biggest reason why I came out
Speaker 3: here to La.
Speaker 2: And you talk about Joyce, to which she was always
Speaker 2: one who, for the most part, played Janet straight. She
Speaker 2: was not ditsy like Chris See, she was not wild
Speaker 2: like Jack. She was always the stabilizing influence as far
Speaker 2: as the character goes.
Speaker 3: I preferred her to Christy. Oh I did too, Don't
Speaker 3: get me wrong.
Speaker 2: You know Christy was fine as sid Did you know,
Speaker 2: I learned relatively recently. If you know the opening, and
Speaker 2: that's part of the reason why I played the theme.
Speaker 2: If you know the opening to the show, Jack is
Speaker 2: riding his bike on the beach I think it's Venice Beach,
Speaker 2: and he falls over because some beautiful brunette is walking
Speaker 2: by in the other direction. I didn't know until recently
Speaker 2: that was Suzanne Summers in a wig in a wig. Yes, No,
Speaker 2: I'm serious, I didn't know. Looked at this, Yes, I
Speaker 2: didn't know that. Because it's one of those trivia things.
Speaker 2: I wonder who that woman was. He like you try
Speaker 2: to look it up on IMDb, and maybe he had
Speaker 2: something to do with the fortieth anniversary of the final
Speaker 2: show coming up, and then they said, no, it was
Speaker 2: the passing of Suzanne Summers, that's what it was. And
Speaker 2: they were talking about how she was the brunette just
Speaker 2: in a wig walking the other way that makes Jack
Speaker 2: fall off his bike. Wow, And I said, after all
Speaker 2: these years, I did not know. And it's like that's
Speaker 2: the best part. You get to learn something about these
Speaker 2: shows and the characters and the actors and actresses who
Speaker 2: played them, and it's it's weird for me because as
Speaker 2: talented as Joyce de Witt obviously was, that was about
Speaker 2: the only thing she I know, she did some mother
Speaker 2: bit TV work, but she did not move on to
Speaker 2: anything else, not that she needed to, but she didn't
Speaker 2: in the way that you saw more of Suzanne Summers.
Speaker 2: You saw more of obviously John Ritter and the other
Speaker 2: actors like chryl Tea's whoever else who played.
Speaker 7: The blonde on the show, right, because they went through
Speaker 7: three or three or I think at least three.
Speaker 3: I feel like there was a forced one. Ye it
Speaker 3: might have.
Speaker 2: Been, but you know it it's just she's always been.
Speaker 3: There was four. I don't remember the names, but yeah.
Speaker 2: Look it up for us real quick. Now, this is
Speaker 2: gonna bother me. This is the worst part of getting older.
Speaker 2: I can't remember all the names.
Speaker 5: Say.
Speaker 8: The other thing that I learned about the intro, I
Speaker 8: know there's different variations of it, but I don't know.
Speaker 8: I don't even know where I saw this, but I
Speaker 8: never forgot it. But there's a scene where in the
Speaker 8: opening there's a kid that runs and I think Joyce
Speaker 8: Dewitz the one that picks him up. That's actually John
Speaker 8: Ridder's son, as in like Jace Jason ridd the one
Speaker 8: who's a star. Now, yeah, wow, that's what I thought
Speaker 8: you were gonna say.
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, yeah, I heard about that too.
Speaker 2: Look all I can say is and I think Michael
Speaker 2: Will there's three three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. It was after Chrissy Snow. It was her cousin.
Speaker 7: It was Cindy Snow, Jenny Lee Harrison, which nobody really
Speaker 7: cared about, and then the last one was Priscilla Barnes.
Speaker 7: Priscilla Barnes Kerry Alden. I remember the first.
Speaker 2: Time I saw it because ABC ruled television back then
Speaker 2: and this was an ABC show. The first time I
Speaker 2: saw the flower Pot of Water Pour on Susanne Summers
Speaker 2: in that black bathing suit.
Speaker 3: You were done.
Speaker 2: Look, I was seven years old. All I knew was
Speaker 2: she was beautiful. I didn't know what to do with myself.
Speaker 2: And I never missed another episode, let me tell.
Speaker 3: You that much. Yeah, oh goodness.
Speaker 2: Forty years since the final episode, the series finale of
Speaker 2: Three's Company, and I didn't know they actually had a
Speaker 2: final episode. A lot of these shows they just kind
Speaker 2: of go away, but they actually had a final episode.
Speaker 2: And Joyce to Wit said that she wanted something different
Speaker 2: for her character.
Speaker 3: She wanted her her Well, this is what she had
Speaker 3: to say.
Speaker 2: Quote I, as in Joyce to Wit, was a bit
Speaker 2: offended when it was time to retire the show that
Speaker 2: they chose to marry her off as in Janet as
Speaker 2: the path forward for that character. I would have sent
Speaker 2: her to law school or medical school, or to the
Speaker 2: Peace Corps. To her point, yes, that probably made more
Speaker 2: sense with what we knew about Janet. That would have
Speaker 2: been great too. But it's nineteen eighty four, is that
Speaker 2: you know, that's like pre Murphy Brown. We're still dealing
Speaker 2: with the reality of Mary Tyler Moore. If you know your.
Speaker 7: History right on that cusp. A couple of years later,
Speaker 7: that's probably very much what they would have done.
Speaker 2: And along those same lines, remember the show One Day
Speaker 2: at a Time. The whole idea of a divorcee, you know,
Speaker 2: or Alice living by herself and her son. TV was
Speaker 2: not as progressive small p as people want to think.
Speaker 2: There was a real growth process that TV had to
Speaker 2: go through in the late nineteen seventies.
Speaker 3: In the early nineteen eighties, Conway show, mo Kelly here,
Speaker 3: we have one more segment.
Speaker 2: We'll probably sit down with Mark Ronner and see what
Speaker 2: he is up to as he and Tiffany hops are
Speaker 2: getting ready to share the chair and fill in for
Speaker 2: me with Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 3: That's next.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Just in for tonight. Conway will be back on Monday.
Speaker 2: But just in case you are not familiar with me,
Speaker 2: I host lated with Mo Kelly from seven to ten PM.
Speaker 3: Well, exception of tonight.
Speaker 2: I'm going to be filled in by Mark Ronner and
Speaker 2: Tiffany Hobbs, who will be sharing the chair.
Speaker 3: Mark Ronner, what's on a show tonight? We are going
Speaker 3: to fill you in, Mo.
Speaker 5: It's the same show as usual, except we all just
Speaker 5: kind of moved over a chair, didn't we We're gonna
Speaker 5: do musical chairs. Yeah, we're gonna do that name that
Speaker 5: cult movie classic. In the nine o'clock hour, we're gonna
Speaker 5: do the Runner Report. You're gonna have to wait till
Speaker 5: then to find out whether or not you should see
Speaker 5: the Penguin. We're gonna talk about a couple salacious things
Speaker 5: in the news, including that Olivia Newsy scandal with RFK Junior.
Speaker 2: You know what, I think you and I look at
Speaker 2: scandals like that a different way. I think we hold
Speaker 2: reporters in journal journalist professionals to a higher standard. I
Speaker 2: was so dismayed when I saw that story. Oh and
Speaker 2: we should hold them us to a higher standard. You
Speaker 2: got to keep your nose clean. And I think that
Speaker 2: she deserves to be excommunicated. Go find another job, Go
Speaker 2: go work in pr some we're going to talk about that.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about Diddy.
Speaker 5: Ellen has a new special coming up on Netflix. I
Speaker 5: have a thought or two on that. It's going to
Speaker 5: be a jam packed show. The only thing missing will
Speaker 5: be you, Moe Kelly, the host of the show. I'm
Speaker 5: read right here. No, I'll be in the car all
Speaker 5: my way home.
Speaker 2: But talk about that real quickly, the musical chair and
Speaker 2: the different muscles you got to use, the gears you
Speaker 2: have to.
Speaker 3: Shift, moving from news to personality.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll say well, I was actually a host of
Speaker 5: a show of my own in Seattle before I did
Speaker 5: news here. But before I was a host in Seattle,
Speaker 5: I was also a longtime print journalism reporter and columnist
Speaker 5: and op ed writer, And so I've done a lot
Speaker 5: of different things, and you do kind of have to
Speaker 5: switch gears and make sure you do some things and
Speaker 5: don't do other things. You know, like when you're reporting
Speaker 5: the news, you can just start riffing about your thoughts
Speaker 5: on who's a jerk, who you don't like, what's messed up?
Speaker 5: You deliver the news. Here's a little bit different, I mean,
Speaker 5: because I have to go back and forth. I have
Speaker 5: to watch what I say a little bit still. But
Speaker 5: oh no, no, we're letting fly tonight, mo.
Speaker 2: You know. I try to tell people everyone has one
Speaker 2: radio show in them. If I were to pick someone
Speaker 2: off the street and say, hey, do a radio show,
Speaker 2: they probably could if they could choose their pet topics
Speaker 2: and say I want to talk about this.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about that, talk about that.
Speaker 2: But once you do show after show after show, you
Speaker 2: realize it gets more and more difficult. You have to
Speaker 2: deal with the news which is in front of you,
Speaker 2: which you're not really choosing, and you have to keep
Speaker 2: your audience in mind, where you may want to talk
Speaker 2: about one thing, but you can't ignore what is what
Speaker 2: they call the talker and so forth.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's absolutely right.
Speaker 5: And whether you're being a talk host or a journalist,
Speaker 5: news anchor whatever, or a reporter, you do you kind
Speaker 5: of have to become an instant expert on X number
Speaker 5: of things a day and then move on to things
Speaker 5: the next day. So you're a little bit of a dilettante?
Speaker 5: Is that too big a word? Am I gonna get
Speaker 5: scolded for using the word dileton Yes? You will, because
Speaker 5: I'll tell you our boss Robin She said, don't don't
Speaker 5: use the big words.
Speaker 3: Don't use the big words, use the smaller words. Why
Speaker 3: don't sound like Gilbert Gottfried used.
Speaker 5: The smaller words the jack of all trades, master of none.
Speaker 5: How's that is that familiar enough?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: He gets almost like, you don't need to use such
Speaker 3: those big words.
Speaker 2: I said, well, well, those are words I actually use
Speaker 2: in my normal everyday conversation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I say recapitulate. Well that's a little high falute.
Speaker 3: No, no, no.
Speaker 5: I got scolded for using other word pugnacious a couple
Speaker 5: of weeks ago, and I didn't realize that was too
Speaker 5: many syllables. I always feel like when I get scolded
Speaker 5: for using a word, it's like you ever see Amedeus?
Speaker 5: And by the way, I've been spoken to for making
Speaker 5: too many movie references. But amedeis Wolfgang Amadanas Mozart. He's
Speaker 5: dealing with the king of what is it Germany?
Speaker 3: Austria?
Speaker 5: I think Vienna. I forget there is no king of Vienna.
Speaker 5: The end, it's the guy Jeffrey Jones who says that, well,
Speaker 5: I don't like this. It has too many notes. There's
Speaker 5: too many notes in it. What do you mean, It's
Speaker 5: just too many. So that's how I feel when somebody
Speaker 5: tells me I used a word that was too big.
Speaker 5: It's like I don't know. When I hear a word
Speaker 5: that I don't know, I want to learn what the
Speaker 5: word is it. If it puts you on edge, all
Speaker 5: use a smaller word.
Speaker 3: I remember talking to Robin bless her Heart.
Speaker 2: I said well, it's talk rado, so you know, how
Speaker 2: could I have too many words?
Speaker 3: How can I have too many syllables? It's kind of
Speaker 3: your stock in trade. It is what I do.
Speaker 2: It's tools in the tool chest, you know, but it's
Speaker 2: I wish I could pull everyone behind the curtain so
Speaker 2: they see that it's it is a discipline and you
Speaker 2: have to be a student of your craft now.
Speaker 3: And you're really good at it. I know that.
Speaker 5: Largely what we do on the show from day to
Speaker 5: day and week to week is we bust on each
Speaker 5: other and mock each other and laugh at each other
Speaker 5: and look for ways to get one in on each other.
Speaker 5: But you're the kind of good at it that people
Speaker 5: don't understand. Not everybody can do it. The easier you
Speaker 5: make it look, the more you thind it's just like writing,
Speaker 5: the more you think anybody could do it, Yeah, just
Speaker 5: sit behind the mic and talk. But no, no, no,
Speaker 5: not everybody can do it. And you're exceptionally good at it. Well,
Speaker 5: I appreciate that, you know. Make sure that you let
Speaker 5: me know where to Venmo. You for that compliment. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you'll put that in a promo.
