Tim Conway, Jr. was born and raised in Los Angeles...and survived 10 years in a youth detention center called the Los Angeles Unified School District.
He spent his childhood around Santa Anita, Hollywood Park and Del Mar Racetracks with his father, four younger brothers and older sister.
His father is yes, the real Tim Conway from the real Carol Burnett Show. Dad guests regularly on the younger Conway's radio program and recently told his son, "Comedy is in your blood...too bad it's not on your show."
Conway survived 12 years at 97.1 FM Talk in Los Angeles until it switched to an all-music format. The show was famous for providing Southern California with a wide variety of entertaining topics including live police Chases, Hollywood craziness and current events with a twist of humor.
"What The Hell Did Jesse Jackson Say?" was a favorite segment and maintains a substantial cult following to this day (it's the stuff radio legends are made of).
He now hosts a nightly show on the No. 1 news/talk radio station in the country, KFI AM 640, More Stimulating Talk Radio. You can catch the show Monday-Friday from 7-10pm. Conway's down-to-earth take on life brings a sense of refreshing levity to those surrounded by lunatics in SoCal.
Today, the Conway tradition continues. When he's not on the air, you can find him at the racetrack with his four-year-old daughter. "I got a tear in my eye the first time my daughter was photo'd out of a win." Tim also turned his wife onto horse racing. She's currently banned from two local tracks for verbal attacks on jockeys.

DIRTY DESKS
Men's desks are germier than women's, study finds
You'd probably rather not think about it, but there are hundreds of species of bacteria on your desk, according researchers who sampled offices in three U.S. cities.
The study identified at least 500 species of bacteria in the offices, and found that men's offices tended to be germier than women's.
And although offices in New York City and San Francisco had similar types of bacteria, those in the Golden State were less contaminated than those in the Big Apple, the researchers said...

'OLD PEOPLE SMELL' IS REAL
'Old People’s Odor’ Exists, but Not Unpleasant
Elderly people do emit a characteristic odor, but it turns out they might actually smell better than younger people, according to a study published online in PLOS ONE.
Researchers at Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia found that people could distinguish among the body odors of different age groups.
They asked 41 people to evaluate odors collected from the armpits of study participants from three different age groups – people between the ages of 20 and 30; between 45 and 55; and between 75 and 95...

DISTRACTED TEXTERS
Police: Robbers Target Distracted Smartphone Users
Embarrassing accidents, like walking into parked cars or tripping over the curb, aside, Los Angeles police warn smartphone users that there's a new reason to take their eyes off that tiny screen.
LAPD Lt. Paul Vernon said he’s seen a 30 percent increase, year-to-year, in phones grabbed right out of distracted texters’ hands.
"Whether it’s on a phone or through text messaging on a phone, you’re not aware of what’s going on around you," Vernon said...

MARYLAND STUDENT EATS ROOMMATE
A 21-year-old electrical engineering student has been charged with first-degree murder after parts of a man’s dismembered body were found in his home a week after the man first went missing.
Alexander Kinyua confessed to police that he also ate his roommate’s heart and portions of the brain after killing him in their Joppa, Maryland town home.
This is the second deeply disturbing report of cannibalism to sweep the nation within a week. In the first, ‘Miami Cannibal’ Rudy Eugene tore off and ate most of the face of down-and-out homeless man Ronald Poppo...

AOL SQUATTER
The Phantom of AOL: From squatter to Internet entrepreneur
Fabled for entrepreneurs launching companies in garages, Silicon Valley now may have a new legend: the phantom of AOL.
To save money for two months, 20-year-old Eric Simons surreptitiously lived inside AOL's Palo Alto office, sleeping on its couches, showering in its gym, sneaking its snacks and laboring there all day to develop his dream -- the Internet site ClassConnect, which he launched to help teachers create and share lesson plans with students and other educators.
Simons said he managed to avoid detection because AOL regularly lets budding innovators not affiliated with the company use its building to work on their projects...

PORN SHOT AT COLISEUM
Porn Video Shot on Coliseum Grounds
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum field is the place where the USC Trojans play football, two Summer Olympics were staged, John F. Kennedy accepted the Democratic presidential nomination and Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass.
It was also a location for "The Gangbang Girl #32," a hard-core pornographic movie that featured 40 minutes of group sex on the gridiron turf, The Times has learned.
The filming at the taxpayer-owned stadium was done at night, with the Coliseum's towering lights blazing and its rows of distinctive red and white seats framing many of the scenes...
