Saying Goodbye to Jackie

Hour 1 (8.10) It’s a heavy Monday on “The Conway Show” as we mourn the loss of Jackie the bald eagle. Timmy is struggling to process another animal death and shares a grim nature story from his Alaska cruise: Guides told the group that the biggest threat to baby bears is often their own father, who will kill and eat the cubs right in front of the mother. Nature is brutal.   While every LA reporter has rushed up to Big Bear to cover Jackie’s passing, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake in Colombia has already killed more than 111 people — and the death toll is still climbing — yet it’s getting far less attention.   In Jackie’s honor, the show plays “Nightshift” by The Commodores. Timmy wonders if she’ll get a standing-room-only memorial at SoFi Stadium and half-jokingly predicts 45,000 to 65,000 people might show up from around the world. Will the Steve Miller Band play “Fly Like an Eagle”? Will Dolly Parton perform “Eagle When She Flies”? And how much will the Friends of Big Bear Valley or the Ojai Raptor Center raise in her memory? Six months ago, on Jackie’s 14th birthday, Timmy wrote a song for her — and now we play that tribute. Fly free, Jackie. Fly free. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
