Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camp I Am sixty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It's opening
day for Into a Dome. That's a big deal for
Los Angeles, even a bigger deal for Inglewood. They get
another brand new, beautiful stadium. When the NFL decided to
locate two teams to Los Angeles, the LA City Council said,
(00:23):
why do we need them? Why not give them both
to Inglewood? What the hell? Well, at least we have
the Clippers in LA. Well, why would we want to
keep them. Let's give them to Inglewood as well. So
two football teams, one basketball team, maybe two basketball teams
in the future. You have to think that perhaps the
(00:44):
Lakers might be playing at the into a Dome, which
is one of the reasons they didn't call the Clippers Dome,
and they might be moving out as well. That's certainly possible.
We'll find out. We'll see, but that's a big deal
in LA. We're also covering the mass Perry story. Five
arrests in that accidental overdose Johnny Whacter, people detain, people
(01:05):
arrested in that murder.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Big deal.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Peter Marshall passed away, Greg Kin passed away. Almost too
much news today, and then a report coming out of
Orange County. Orange County. I thought everyone loved living in
Orange County. But half the people are thinking of moving out.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Over half of people living over.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Half, over half the people are moving want to move
out of Orange County.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Why over half of people living in Orange County are
considering moving away or half considered.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Leaving in the last four years.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
This is all according to a new survey by UC
Irvine and found among those contemplating a move, more than
three of four say that their number one issue is
the high cost of housing.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh that's true. Okay, that's true. I get it.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I guess of four say that their number one issue
is the high cost of housing.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, it's very expensive live in Orange County. I lived
in Seal Beach for three years and man, that was fantastic.
It was like going on vacation every weekend, slide into
Seal Beach and it was like being in Hawaii without
that big plane ride, and it was beautiful.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I love Seal Beach. I wish I would have stayed.
I wish I would have stayed.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
The median price for a home sold in Orange County
in June was about one point two million dollars.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The average price one point two million dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
According to real estate information provider core Logic.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The youngest people who.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Let's find out why young people want to leave. Young
people want to get out of Orange County.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Youngest people who were polled say the county's job market
is their other driving factor.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Okay, the young people want to leave because of job possibilities,
because of the jobs, and they want to get out.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
The youngest people who were polled say the county's job
market is their other driving factor, and sixty five and
older would be leavers are far more likely to list
politics as a reason for their potential move.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh. No, Orange County, you gotta get it together, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
We have a seventy one freeway is going to be
shut down, some lanes closing this weekend. I know it's
very well traveled by people. Listen to KFI any given day.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
The traffic and construction on the seventy one Freeway in
Chino Hills can set you back.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, the seventy one really didn't get it together. They
sort of half assed that freeway. They didn't know whether
there was a road, they had street traffic lights on
it for a long long time. I don't if they
still do it or not, but they were. It's one
of those roads where they don't know whether it's a
freeway or a road, a highway or boulevard street and avenue,
and they just didn't really pay attention to putting that
(03:40):
sucker together.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
And now it's come up and back to haunt them.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Just ask Chenon Carillo, who's been living in the area
for more than thirty years.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Hopefully, once it's done, we're gonna have not so much congestion.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
Literally, it can take me thirty minutes from Butterfield Ranch to.
Speaker 9 (03:55):
The ninety one.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Wow, that's not very far. That's not very far. So
that's it's only three miles and it could take thirty
minutes to get through there for many the commune.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Are there's still traffic lights on that Angel you're out there,
you're the queen of traffic, you know, not the Ketemine queen,
but the traffic queen. Are there still traffic lights on
that seventy one.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
So not below the sixty, not south of the sixty,
but from the sixty on the portion that runs between
the sixty and the ten, they're working on eliminating that
right now. So there's a lot of roadwork through that
top stretch. But on the bottom stretch, no, okay, they
have proper off ramps and everything.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Nice, But for many, the commute along this stretch of
the seventy one is about to get tricky.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
As a portion of the.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Freeway, we'll close this Friday evening and through the weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
No oh no.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
The closure will allow crews to safely complete paving and
striping of newly aligned southbound seventy one lanes and to
shift traffic onto those lanes.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
David Nutsen is with the Riverside County Transportation Commission and say,
as the one hundred and thirty seven million dollar project
expected to be complete next year, we'll replace the existing
single loop connector between eastbound ninety one and northbound seventy one.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
All right, let's get that. Let's get our bearings again here.
What is it going to do?
Speaker 10 (05:13):
Here?
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Expect it to be complete next year. We'll replace the
existing single loop connector between eastbound ninety one and northbound
seventy one.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
All right, eastbound ninety one.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Between eastbound ninety one and north.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
See, Okay, where that dam is right there? Okay, okay,
all right, I got it. Okay, they're going to replace
that because that is kind of a wild turn.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It's you can't really speed there.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Else you your car is going to start to do
a somersault to a new two.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Lane direct connector.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Over the weekend, Cruise will demolish approximately four hundred feet
of existing southbound roadway, rating, excavating, laying sub based, pouring concrete,
and placing temporary K rail and guardrails along the way.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
You think when this guy applied for Caltrans, they're like,
I don't think he's a paver.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I don't think he's a riveter. I don't think he's
the guy out there striping.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I don't see him out there in one hundred and
four degrees sweating his ass off. Let's make this guy
our spokesperson.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Over the weekend, cruise will demolish approximately four hundred feet
of existing southbound roadway right raiding on, excavating, laying sub basin,
pouring concrete, and placing temporary K rail and guardrails along
the way.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Ding dong with that guy. All Right?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The seventy one part of it closing over the weekend bad.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
And it's only the southbound lanes. Okay, that's closing. Just
southbound Butterfield Ranch to the ninety one.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's cool. Angel Martin North still north, Okay, south is closed.
Speaker 11 (06:50):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
We have a news bad news for Oakland. I don't
know how much more they can take. But San Francisco Oakland.
I think San Francisco more bad news for Salmon when
we come back. I don't know how much more they
can handle. They lost the Raiders, they lost, They're losing
the athletics, the A's, they lost the Golden State Warriors,
(07:11):
they lost an in and out, and they're about to
lose something else up in that area.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Well, gome back. We'll tell you what is.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, bad vibes for Frisco, which I think they enjoy
when you call it that.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Like no Cow.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, I guess that still irritates people live up there.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Are you going to Frisco? Oh, don't call it dird
We'll call it what we want.
Speaker 10 (07:35):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
San Francisco lost a Denny's. That's what they lost, a Denny's.
So there's the answer to that question.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
All right.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Dean Sharp is on with us every single Thursday, and
this is no exception. And from what I understand, he's
changed his name. He now goes by Dean Benjamin Moore Sharp.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Now, welcome to the pro are you, Bob? I'm good,
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Does that have anything any connection to the paint? Benjamin Moore?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yes, it does, you know it does.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Wow, Benjamin Moore is my favorite paint in the universe.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You know what. I like it too. You know, we
trust all of our.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Sponsors here, right, I mean we only we only partner
at CAFI with people that we believe in, especially me
on my show. Sometimes, though, you go out and grab
somebody that you've been working with for forty years. So
when I came to the station, I said to one
of our sales team, I said, hey, go get Benjamin Moore.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Good.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Let them be a sponsor of the show because it's
the best paint on the planet.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And they did so. So here we are, So here
we are.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You know they have a new paint. I can't remember
what it's called. I think it's called X where you
paint it. I think you've actually used this. I think
you turned me on to it.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Chuffech gouff X.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, for a high volume, high you know, high traveled areas.
Young get scuffs on the wall. That's incredible. That's like
a game changer.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
When they first showed it to me in the local
paint store that I go to, I was like, what
are you telling me? There's a great display and it works.
It's not a gimmick at all. There's a display. There's
a regularly painted wall and a scuff X painted wall,
and they just get They say, pull something out of
your pocket, a key, a quarter or anything, and just
(09:23):
just go at it against this wall.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And of course on the regular wall.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
You're leaving these big gray streaks and it crosses over
to the scuff X wall and nothing. Wow, nothing nothing.
And I was so impressed with it. We did some
tests and then Tina and I decided, because we were
just finishing up a remodel on our house, We're like,
you know what not only now they they did not
create scuff X for residences. They created it for like school,
(09:50):
public libraries, you know, you know, commercial buildings that get
a lot of it. But I thought that it was
so silky and nice. We decide we're putting it in
our entire house. So we literally have painted the inside
of our entire house with scuff ex. We are a
scuff free home and believe me, we need it.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Hey, I know this weekend you're doing a lot of
your answering your emails, which you do a lot. You're
a very good at keeping up with them. I have
the same question. One of your emailers asked you what
is a good extension cord? And do they wear out? Okay,
I have a million of the mid home. Yeah, so
to why, they're just one of those things.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
If you do a lot of stuff around the house, right,
you just end up kind of collecting extension cords. I'm
not even exactly sure why, but it just works out
that way.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
I thought that was a really good question. It was
a really good question. That's why we've put it in
the show for the weekend. But bottom line, I would
say the very best professional, great extension cord that you
can find these days is an extension cord. It's a
twelve gauge cord. Twelve gauge very important. That means that
you can run anything from your smallest little tools to
(11:01):
the big stuff the table saw and whatever off of
it and it won't overheat and it won't break down
on you. Plus they're really well insulated. So a nice
pliable twelve gauge cord. And you want to try and
test out an extension cord as a pliability when you're
in the store and it's nice and as cool as possible,
because you know, on a cold day, an extension cord
(11:23):
can just turn into a board and it just you know,
it's not easy to work with. See, you want appliable.
But here's the thing. Back in the day, now i'm
dating myself. Back in the day, when I was a framer,
so so many years ago, we used to take standard
extension cords, cut the ends off, cut the plugs off,
and put on this what we call a twist lock
(11:43):
hubble connection. And the twist lock kept the cord from
coming unplugged from the tool, okay, because it plugged in
and twisted and it locked in. And they were big
and bulky and weird. But nowadays there are some extension
cords on the market. Look for them. Right on the
end of the plug. You'll see a button at the
female end of the cord. You'll see that's right, there's
(12:05):
a little button there. And you know, on a tool
or any kind of plug on the metal. You know
those two holes that are at the very end of
the of the right Those things go in and they
engage in a ball bearing inside this cord and it
locks it in.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Yeah, And it just looks and works like any regular extension,
but it locks it in. Let me tell you, if
you've ever done any serious work around the house, you've
experienced the frustration of just tugging on the tool a
little bit and all of a sudden dead because you've
pulled the plug out of the extension cord. Or you're
right in the middle of a cut and something happens,
and that's even a dangerous situation. So my favorite, I
think the best extension cord on the planet has these
(12:44):
ends with the tiny little locking button on them.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
They're brilliant.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You've ever the old fashioned way where if you needed
two extension cords you just tie a knot between the
two of them.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Still do it? We still do it.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
You're not supposed to because your second question, will it
wear out?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, that's how you get a chord to wear out
on you. You know what I.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Whenever I you know, I use one to cut the
grass with an electric mower and then you know, like
once or twice a year, you run over the cord
and it pops and and I'm so cheap that instead
of you know, going to buy a new one, I
just go and buy the ends and repair it myself.
My drives my wife crazy. She goes, you're going to
burn the house down, not if you you know, seal
(13:23):
it up well.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
But yeah, but yeah, you know you need to. You
need to post a picture of one of your extension
cords with all the all the little men's on it
along the way tape everywhere the that's right.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
What is the latest and greatest options in shower drains?
We just recently did my daughter's bathroom and she has
the square on the bottom where the drain is and
then tile on top of that so it looks like
it looks like it's all part of the shower and
I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
But there's advancements there on. Yeah, that's really cool.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
That's a tile in drain, so that so the drain
actually it receives part of the flooring and that's part.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Of letting it go away. Right.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Yeah, you got linear drains that go all the way
to one wall of the shower or the other so
you don't have to bowl the shower. Okay, it could
just be a flat slope surface. But I'll tell you
the absolute latest and greatest in drains that you don't
see are the wall drains. Wall drains. So this is
a drain that you're actually gonna mount inside the wall
(14:24):
of the shower and as you run let's say the
far side, the long side of the shower, and you're
gonna slope the floor in that direction. And as you
run the tile down, you're gonna just stop the tile
about a half an inch above the shower floor in
the wall. Oh wow, So there's literally no drain visible
on the floor whatsoever. The water the water escapes through
(14:47):
a slot in the wall and then down the drain.
It's totally accessible. You can totally clean it. Talk about
a drain that isn't there. That's the stuff these days.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
But what's the insulation and and do you have to
have a flashing on the other side to prevent it
going all the way into the wall.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Yeah? Yeah, No, the drain assembly, the pan that receives
the water. You mount it into the wall and it's
flashed into the wall tile. It's totally sealed into the
wall tile. But the point is it's not actually on
the floor at all. Oh that's great, man, that's unbluevable. Hey,
you know what I always I wondered about this. I
know one of your emailers asked about it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
But when you're moving furniture or you know, a refrigerator
into the house, or maybe you know you got some
money and you got a piano, Man, these doors are
still nineteen forty eight, you know, with how wide they are,
they can't make another wide door.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Be very, very careful when you're buying furniture that you've
already measured that you can get it into the house.
It's just just a good idea, especially if you live
in an older home.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
No, standard exterior doors now by code are thirty six inches.
They're three feet wide. But even then people are often
looking for wider doors. And the good news is probably
in the last ten years there has been an explosion.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And I love this.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
You know, as a guy you know who works on
high end to states, sure, we've been working with doors
like this, paying ultra premium custom prices forever and never, never,
never has it entered into the mainstream market. Well, now
I think I want to say about four months ago, Simpson,
which is arguably the largest door company in North America.
(16:28):
I mean there are Simpson doors at home depot and
at lows and it everywhere. Everywhere, everywhere you look, there
are Simpson doors. Simpson has now introduced a line of
oversized my favorite pivot doors. A pivot door doesn't use
standard hinges on one side. You come in about six
to nine inches and there's a top and bottom bolt
(16:51):
pivot and the door swings on that pivot. But now
we're talking about four foot wide doors, five foot wide doors,
six foot wide end tree doors that are mainstream doors.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Now.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
They're not cheap, but they are now fully accessible to
everybody in every everywhere.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Buddy, I'll be listening this weekend. Lots of emails, lots
of answers. I really appreciate you coming on. Thanks all right,
Tim Dean Sharp everybody Saturday and Sunday morning.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Right here on KFI.
Speaker 10 (17:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI.
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Matthew Perry five arrests in that I guess over accidental overdose.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
What they're calling him. The Ketemine Queen is on the hook.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
So if you've been, you know, buying drugs from the
Ketemine queen, if she cops a plea, you might be
in for it. Also, Johnny Whackter, four people arrested in
that case, in that murder in downtown LA.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Lot of publicity on that.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
So thank god, his fellow actors and an actresses entertainment
people kept that guy in the in the news, kept
that guy in the top of mind of everybody, and
those cops went after these guys and arrested four people.
There was an earthquake in Lake Elsinore. Peter Marshall passed away.
Greg Kin from the Greg greg Kin Band passed away.
(18:21):
It's it's getting crazy in La, all right. But at
least we have our Denny's. At least we have our
denny San Francisco has just lost their Denny's.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Do you know? Can you tell me?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Can you tell me how crazy a city has to
be to lose a homeless shelter like Denny's where people
are coming in all hours of the night. I don't
think there's a dress code for Denny's. I don't think
Denny's has an official dress code. And Denny says the
(18:57):
people are too fed up for us to continue surveying
these slams and to build your owns and the moons
over my Hammy and the tater Tots whatever, the loaded
tater tots they sell.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
They're leaving San Francisco.
Speaker 12 (19:13):
The last remaining Denny's since San Francisco has now closed.
On August first, the Denny's on Mission Street shut down
after being opened for twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Twenty five years and they've had enough.
Speaker 12 (19:25):
A spokesperson did not come in on the reason behind
the decision, only saying it was not.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
An easy one.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
You know, if Donald Trump was smart, he would go
to that Denny's and not even say anything, just point to go, hey.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Huh, hey, huh huh.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Closed. Denny's closed. That's what's going on here. Denny's shut
her down. They've lost an in and out up there.
They lost the Raiders, They're about to lose the A's.
They lost the Golden State Warriors to San Jose. People
are leaving San Francisco and Oakland. They're in a death spiral,
(20:06):
that city death spiral. Now they're trying to get people
back in San Francisco by offering them free rent for
their stores.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Find out more.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
In an effort to fill downtown storefront, San Francisco is
offering businesses up to six months of free rent. A
lot of spaces were left empty following the COVID nineteen pandemic.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
O Is that right? That's what it's. That's what it's.
They're blaming it on following.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
The COVID nineteen pandemic.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Okay, well, guess what. The United States all had the
COVID nineteen pandemic and we survived San Francisco. You can't
blame that on the COVID pandemic following the COVID nineteen pandemic. No, no, no, no, sweetie,
that's not the reason people are leaving San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
It has nothing to do with COVID. Let's go ahead
and bring.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
In Sarah Dennis Phillips. She's the executive director of the
Office of Economic and Workforce Development for.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That and she got her job. She got her work.
Speaker 8 (20:59):
Ahead of her whole of the Office of Economic and
Workforce Development for the City of San Francisco. Thanks for
being here, you guys. Can you tell us about the program?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
How does it work?
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Yea happy to our bacon Tobagra program came out of
Mayor Breed's downtown recovery plan that was launched last.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
February because of COVID.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
The heart of the program is that we match local entrepreneurs, artists,
small businesses with building owners that have ground floor storefronts
and we allow them six months of free rent three
to six months of free rent within that space. And
what we hope and what we've seen with our first
launch is that those turn into long term businesses. We
(21:40):
see them through this program and now our first cohort
which we launched last fall, our permanent parts of our
downtown fabric.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
All right, and what is that store?
Speaker 8 (21:49):
How does the city pay for something like this tax money?
Speaker 9 (21:53):
You know, it's a lot more administrative than it is costly.
We have a whole lot of interest from our entrepreneurs
and small.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Businesses, right, That was the question, though, the question is
how is it paid.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
It's a lot more administrative than it is costly. We
have a whole lot of interest from our entrepreneurs and small.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Businesses, the right, But how is it paid for?
Speaker 9 (22:18):
Amount of applications we've seen to the program is astounding,
almost a thousand applications overall for a very limited number
of spaces.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And how's it paid for.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
We also have a.
Speaker 9 (22:27):
Lot of interest from building owners who are slowly coming
forward to the realization that their ground floors are an
investment in their upper stories. That the more active their
ground floor is, the better chance they have of renting
and getting more revenue out of their upper stories. And
so given the interest on both the building side and
the small business side, we can sede it with a
(22:50):
very small amount of money to help the storefront build
out in its initial phases, some investment for legal fees
and signing leases, and whole lot of technical assistance.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Okay, so tax dollars.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
It's interesting.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
It's the way you describe it. It almost sounds like it's
sort of a move in special right that these building
owners they don't want those places to sit vacance. You
kind of give a little bit of that incentive. Can
you explain how filling these vacancies sort of benefits everybody?
How does it benefit the city, how does it benefit
the standard of living for residents?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Good question, asolutely.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
I mean, we see so much benefit out of this program.
Not only is it expanding our small business pool and
giving entrepreneurs a shot in downtown, which let's be honest,
before in our pre COVID times, they didn't have the
capital to do.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
What we're Also they're still blaming COVID on the trouble
with San Francisco. They will never point out the fact
that homelessness, people dumping on the streets, wild wild, out
of control, heroin problems, violate, theft is out of control.
(24:02):
None of that, it's all. It all goes back to
just blaming COVID.
Speaker 9 (24:06):
What we're also seeing is we're seeing a lively street front.
We're seeing stafer sidewalks that are now active, and we're
seeing businesses want to come back to work because now
they have the reason and incentives too. And we're seeing
the numbers result in terms of our downtown foot traffic,
while we still have a ways to go, in terms
of daytime recovery, our restaurants, bars, nightlife in downtown is
(24:30):
back to pre COVID levels because people are coming down
for the things they want to do.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
So are these businesses after the six months able to
make it and stay because we know that I'm sure
rent is still going to be high even with that
special and also because I only have a little bit
left with you. Have you been getting calls from any
other municipalities asking you about the program.
Speaker 9 (24:51):
No, we have, and you know will We'll give our
learnings to any city that wants to learn, because all
major cities are facing same structural changes in their downtown.
And I will say that, yes, we are seeing long
term success with this program. Out of the initial cohort
of storefronts that we launched last ball, seven out of
(25:13):
the nine businesses seated there are now have long term
leases for the near future. And of the two that didn't,
one of those actually never intended to be a long
term storefront.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
They wanted the holiday benefit.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
We're really hopeful that we'll see the same in the
next cohort. And what we're also seeing is that the
building owners are coming to the table and they are
offering competitive terms that are in line with our new
reality of downtown. They're offering percentage based rents there. They
now know these storefronts, these new businesses, and they want
to be partners for the long term.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
All right, Well, you hope San Francisco turns it around,
But doesn't sound like they're addressing the problems of San Francisco.
And they are deep, very very deep, and people who
are from that area. One of the reasons why property
values have not gone in the toilet, and they're so
high here in southern California because a ton of people
(26:07):
who used to live in San Francisco are moving to
Southern California.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
They have had it with San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That's what's keeping these prices down here, probably artificially high
because all the people coming down with money from northern
California to live here in Southern California. And hopefully they
don't destroy it like they destroyed San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
So clean your act up around here.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I know we don't look like it's we're cleaned up ours,
but don't add to it.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Don't add to it.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
We do.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
We can hardly afford any more. Guys, crap it on
the streets.
Speaker 10 (26:41):

We had the Johnny uh, what's name Johnny Whacter? Sorry, no,
(27:57):
that note for me, Johnny Whacter, and the four arrests
in that story.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
That was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
And those are two major news stories that all came
together today in one day and literally literally hours apart.
The Intoit Dome opens today. It's open right now. Yeah,
they're letting people in right now. So that those are
three major stories. And and and it's you know, it's
(28:28):
it's unbelievable how much news can be made in one day,
Lady Gaga might be joining Bruno Mars tonight at the
stadium with the earthquake at Lake Elsinore three point nine earthquake.
Peter Marshall passed away at age ninety eight, and I
don't think we gave Peter Marshall because all the other
(28:49):
news stories out there today, I don't think we gave
Peter Marshall his due. So Peter Marshall was, you know,
one of the most beloved guys in Hollywood, one of
the greatest hosts. I think, probably the greatest game show
host in the history of television. Let's find out more
about about Peter Marshall.
Speaker 13 (29:08):
Peter Marshall spent eight decades working in show business as
a singer, stage star, comedian, actor, and game show host,
among his many talents. I was a fan before I
ever met Peter, and when I did meet him, well,
he did not disappoint. He was kind, funny, charismatic, one
of those people who after ten minutes you felt like
you knew for years. And on TV anyway, we did.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Here the master of the Hollywood Square, Peter Marshall.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
He was the best man when he hosted Hollywood Squares.
He was the absolute best, funny guy, great ad libs.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
He was just awesome.
Speaker 13 (29:44):
In nineteen sixty six, Peter Marshall became the original host
of The Hollywood Squares. He did it for fourteen years,
but as he told me in twenty twenty, Squares was
never part of his master plan.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I admit to show this.
Speaker 14 (29:58):
Twenty five years I start on broadways.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
We are in London doing musicals and things as part
of a comedy.
Speaker 14 (30:03):
I never thought I'd wind up a game show, but
I became an entity.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Of sorts because of Squares.
Speaker 14 (30:10):
The klat Men was one of John Wayne's few non
Western pictures.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Where did the film take place? Public lipary? Great guy?
Because of Squares? All right, let's hear that joke again.
Speaker 14 (30:24):
The Paul joke was one of John waynsta because of Squares.
The klat Men was one of John Wayne's few non
Western pictures.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Where did the film take place? Public Lipary?
Speaker 13 (30:38):
When the show returned to TV with new host Tom Bergeron,
Peter was a guest for a special game show week
but Bergeron had an idea.
Speaker 11 (30:47):
We got to ask him to swap positions and he
agreed to it. And I got to tell you, George
that was one of the highlights for me.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
According to Reuters Ruytersuter, if a.
Speaker 14 (30:57):
Dog uses a high pitched unevenly he placed bark what
is it telling you?
Speaker 11 (31:02):
That would tell you that Bob Barker is at the
front door with the parrot clippers? Fear. For Peter Marshall,
week was the absolute sherry on the Sunday and when
people would ask me during the six years I did
my version, you know, do you feel like you're competing
with the original? I said, well no, because you know
that's gonna be the on the mountaintop and all we
(31:25):
can do is the best version of not screwing it up.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, Tom bergeron was right.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I used to watch that America's Funniest Home Videos, and
I used to fast forward through those dumb videos just
to hear Tom Berger and his raps.
Speaker 13 (31:40):
Long before his time on Squares, Marshall was singing, acting
and joking on TV. He even did some commercials for
Kellogg's I saw It.
Speaker 14 (31:48):
Into ten Packs, a little Something for Everybody called Kellogg's Variety.
Speaker 13 (31:52):
He briefly hosted a variety show in the seventies. Did
the Love Boat. Fantasy Island appeared in the movie version
of Annie and was part of the special A Gift
of Music.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Wow, what a career this guy had. You'll love him
know just how much I miss you.
Speaker 13 (32:13):
Peter and his wife Laurie would have celebrated their thirty
fifth anniversary on Monday. She told me before Peter died,
she'd held him in her arms watching him singing love
songs on YouTube, feeling she was being serenaded by the love.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Of her life. Wow, that is kind of cool, Laurie said.
Speaker 13 (32:32):
Peter was really a happy man who appreciated everything about life.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
And he said on his tombstone he wants to be
remembered as a guy who died of boredom.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
It's pretty funny, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
We talk about Hollywood every Thursday at six fifty and
of course it's being brought to you by Advanced Hair
one day treatment, Life changing results. Make your appointment today
Advanced Haair dot com. Mo Kelly's Whole Crew coming up
next on KFI six forty Conway Show on demand on
the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us live
(33:07):
on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm Monday
through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's camp I Am sixty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It's opening
day for Into a Dome. That's a big deal for
Los Angeles, even a bigger deal for Inglewood. They get
another brand new, beautiful stadium. When the NFL decided to
locate two teams to Los Angeles, the LA City Council said,
(00:23):
why do we need them? Why not give them both
to Inglewood? What the hell? Well, at least we have
the Clippers in LA. Well, why would we want to
keep them. Let's give them to Inglewood as well. So
two football teams, one basketball team, maybe two basketball teams
in the future. You have to think that perhaps the
(00:44):
Lakers might be playing at the into a Dome, which
is one of the reasons they didn't call the Clippers Dome,
and they might be moving out as well. That's certainly possible.
We'll find out. We'll see, but that's a big deal
in LA. We're also covering the mass Perry story. Five
arrests in that accidental overdose Johnny Whacter, people detain, people
(01:05):
arrested in that murder.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Big deal.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Peter Marshall passed away, Greg Kin passed away. Almost too
much news today, and then a report coming out of
Orange County. Orange County. I thought everyone loved living in
Orange County. But half the people are thinking of moving out.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Over half of people living over.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Half, over half the people are moving want to move
out of Orange County.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Why over half of people living in Orange County are
considering moving away or half considered.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Leaving in the last four years.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
This is all according to a new survey by UC
Irvine and found among those contemplating a move, more than
three of four say that their number one issue is
the high cost of housing.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh that's true. Okay, that's true. I get it.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I guess of four say that their number one issue
is the high cost of housing.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, it's very expensive live in Orange County. I lived
in Seal Beach for three years and man, that was fantastic.
It was like going on vacation every weekend, slide into
Seal Beach and it was like being in Hawaii without
that big plane ride, and it was beautiful.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I love Seal Beach. I wish I would have stayed.
I wish I would have stayed.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
The median price for a home sold in Orange County
in June was about one point two million dollars.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The average price one point two million dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
According to real estate information provider core Logic.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The youngest people who.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Let's find out why young people want to leave. Young
people want to get out of Orange County.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Youngest people who were polled say the county's job market
is their other driving factor.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Okay, the young people want to leave because of job possibilities,
because of the jobs, and they want to get out.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
The youngest people who were polled say the county's job
market is their other driving factor, and sixty five and
older would be leavers are far more likely to list
politics as a reason for their potential move.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh. No, Orange County, you gotta get it together, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
We have a seventy one freeway is going to be
shut down, some lanes closing this weekend. I know it's
very well traveled by people. Listen to KFI any given day.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
The traffic and construction on the seventy one Freeway in
Chino Hills can set you back.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, the seventy one really didn't get it together. They
sort of half assed that freeway. They didn't know whether
there was a road, they had street traffic lights on
it for a long long time. I don't if they
still do it or not, but they were. It's one
of those roads where they don't know whether it's a
freeway or a road, a highway or boulevard street and avenue,
and they just didn't really pay attention to putting that
(03:40):
sucker together.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
And now it's come up and back to haunt them.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
Just ask Chenon Carillo, who's been living in the area
for more than thirty years.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Hopefully, once it's done, we're gonna have not so much congestion.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
Literally, it can take me thirty minutes from Butterfield Ranch to.
Speaker 9 (03:55):
The ninety one.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Wow, that's not very far. That's not very far. So
that's it's only three miles and it could take thirty
minutes to get through there for many the commune.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Are there's still traffic lights on that Angel you're out there,
you're the queen of traffic, you know, not the Ketemine queen,
but the traffic queen. Are there still traffic lights on
that seventy one.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
So not below the sixty, not south of the sixty,
but from the sixty on the portion that runs between
the sixty and the ten, they're working on eliminating that
right now. So there's a lot of roadwork through that
top stretch. But on the bottom stretch, no, okay, they
have proper off ramps and everything.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Nice, But for many, the commute along this stretch of
the seventy one is about to get tricky.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
As a portion of the.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Freeway, we'll close this Friday evening and through the weekend.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
No oh no.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
The closure will allow crews to safely complete paving and
striping of newly aligned southbound seventy one lanes and to
shift traffic onto those lanes.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
David Nutsen is with the Riverside County Transportation Commission and say,
as the one hundred and thirty seven million dollar project
expected to be complete next year, we'll replace the existing
single loop connector between eastbound ninety one and northbound seventy one.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
All right, let's get that. Let's get our bearings again here.
What is it going to do?
Speaker 10 (05:13):
Here?
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Expect it to be complete next year. We'll replace the
existing single loop connector between eastbound ninety one and northbound
seventy one.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
All right, eastbound ninety one.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Between eastbound ninety one and north.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
See, Okay, where that dam is right there? Okay, okay,
all right, I got it. Okay, they're going to replace
that because that is kind of a wild turn.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
It's you can't really speed there.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Else you your car is going to start to do
a somersault to a new two.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Lane direct connector.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Over the weekend, Cruise will demolish approximately four hundred feet
of existing southbound roadway, rating, excavating, laying sub based, pouring concrete,
and placing temporary K rail and guardrails along the way.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
You think when this guy applied for Caltrans, they're like,
I don't think he's a paver.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I don't think he's a riveter. I don't think he's
the guy out there striping.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I don't see him out there in one hundred and
four degrees sweating his ass off. Let's make this guy
our spokesperson.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Over the weekend, cruise will demolish approximately four hundred feet
of existing southbound roadway right raiding on, excavating, laying sub basin,
pouring concrete, and placing temporary K rail and guardrails along
the way.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Ding dong with that guy. All Right?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The seventy one part of it closing over the weekend bad.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
And it's only the southbound lanes. Okay, that's closing. Just
southbound Butterfield Ranch to the ninety one.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's cool. Angel Martin North still north, Okay, south is closed.
Speaker 11 (06:50):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
We have a news bad news for Oakland. I don't
know how much more they can take. But San Francisco Oakland.
I think San Francisco more bad news for Salmon when
we come back. I don't know how much more they
can handle. They lost the Raiders, they lost, They're losing
the athletics, the A's, they lost the Golden State Warriors,
(07:11):
they lost an in and out, and they're about to
lose something else up in that area.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Well, gome back. We'll tell you what is.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, bad vibes for Frisco, which I think they enjoy
when you call it that.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Like no Cow.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, I guess that still irritates people live up there.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Are you going to Frisco? Oh, don't call it dird
We'll call it what we want.
Speaker 10 (07:35):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
San Francisco lost a Denny's. That's what they lost, a Denny's.
So there's the answer to that question.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
All right.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Dean Sharp is on with us every single Thursday, and
this is no exception. And from what I understand, he's
changed his name. He now goes by Dean Benjamin Moore Sharp.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Now, welcome to the pro are you, Bob? I'm good,
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Does that have anything any connection to the paint? Benjamin Moore?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yes, it does, you know it does.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Wow, Benjamin Moore is my favorite paint in the universe.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You know what. I like it too. You know, we
trust all of our.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Sponsors here, right, I mean we only we only partner
at CAFI with people that we believe in, especially me
on my show. Sometimes, though, you go out and grab
somebody that you've been working with for forty years. So
when I came to the station, I said to one
of our sales team, I said, hey, go get Benjamin Moore.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Good.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Let them be a sponsor of the show because it's
the best paint on the planet.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And they did so. So here we are, So here
we are.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You know they have a new paint. I can't remember
what it's called. I think it's called X where you
paint it. I think you've actually used this. I think
you turned me on to it.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Chuffech gouff X.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, for a high volume, high you know, high traveled areas.
Young get scuffs on the wall. That's incredible. That's like
a game changer.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
When they first showed it to me in the local
paint store that I go to, I was like, what
are you telling me? There's a great display and it works.
It's not a gimmick at all. There's a display. There's
a regularly painted wall and a scuff X painted wall,
and they just get They say, pull something out of
your pocket, a key, a quarter or anything, and just
(09:23):
just go at it against this wall.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And of course on the regular wall.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
You're leaving these big gray streaks and it crosses over
to the scuff X wall and nothing. Wow, nothing nothing.
And I was so impressed with it. We did some
tests and then Tina and I decided, because we were
just finishing up a remodel on our house, We're like,
you know what not only now they they did not
create scuff X for residences. They created it for like school,
(09:50):
public libraries, you know, you know, commercial buildings that get
a lot of it. But I thought that it was
so silky and nice. We decide we're putting it in
our entire house. So we literally have painted the inside
of our entire house with scuff ex. We are a
scuff free home and believe me, we need it.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Hey, I know this weekend you're doing a lot of
your answering your emails, which you do a lot. You're
a very good at keeping up with them. I have
the same question. One of your emailers asked you what
is a good extension cord? And do they wear out? Okay,
I have a million of the mid home. Yeah, so
to why, they're just one of those things.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
If you do a lot of stuff around the house, right,
you just end up kind of collecting extension cords. I'm
not even exactly sure why, but it just works out
that way.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
I thought that was a really good question. It was
a really good question. That's why we've put it in
the show for the weekend. But bottom line, I would
say the very best professional, great extension cord that you
can find these days is an extension cord. It's a
twelve gauge cord. Twelve gauge very important. That means that
you can run anything from your smallest little tools to
(11:01):
the big stuff the table saw and whatever off of
it and it won't overheat and it won't break down
on you. Plus they're really well insulated. So a nice
pliable twelve gauge cord. And you want to try and
test out an extension cord as a pliability when you're
in the store and it's nice and as cool as possible,
because you know, on a cold day, an extension cord
(11:23):
can just turn into a board and it just you know,
it's not easy to work with. See, you want appliable.
But here's the thing. Back in the day, now i'm
dating myself. Back in the day, when I was a framer,
so so many years ago, we used to take standard
extension cords, cut the ends off, cut the plugs off,
and put on this what we call a twist lock
(11:43):
hubble connection. And the twist lock kept the cord from
coming unplugged from the tool, okay, because it plugged in
and twisted and it locked in. And they were big
and bulky and weird. But nowadays there are some extension
cords on the market. Look for them. Right on the
end of the plug. You'll see a button at the
female end of the cord. You'll see that's right, there's
(12:05):
a little button there. And you know, on a tool
or any kind of plug on the metal. You know
those two holes that are at the very end of
the of the right Those things go in and they
engage in a ball bearing inside this cord and it
locks it in.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Yeah, And it just looks and works like any regular extension,
but it locks it in. Let me tell you, if
you've ever done any serious work around the house, you've
experienced the frustration of just tugging on the tool a
little bit and all of a sudden dead because you've
pulled the plug out of the extension cord. Or you're
right in the middle of a cut and something happens,
and that's even a dangerous situation. So my favorite, I
think the best extension cord on the planet has these
(12:44):
ends with the tiny little locking button on them.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
They're brilliant.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You've ever the old fashioned way where if you needed
two extension cords you just tie a knot between the
two of them.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Still do it? We still do it.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
You're not supposed to because your second question, will it
wear out?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, that's how you get a chord to wear out
on you. You know what I.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Whenever I you know, I use one to cut the
grass with an electric mower and then you know, like
once or twice a year, you run over the cord
and it pops and and I'm so cheap that instead
of you know, going to buy a new one, I
just go and buy the ends and repair it myself.
My drives my wife crazy. She goes, you're going to
burn the house down, not if you you know, seal
(13:23):
it up well.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
But yeah, but yeah, you know you need to. You
need to post a picture of one of your extension
cords with all the all the little men's on it
along the way tape everywhere the that's right.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
What is the latest and greatest options in shower drains?
We just recently did my daughter's bathroom and she has
the square on the bottom where the drain is and
then tile on top of that so it looks like
it looks like it's all part of the shower and
I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
But there's advancements there on. Yeah, that's really cool.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
That's a tile in drain, so that so the drain
actually it receives part of the flooring and that's part.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Of letting it go away. Right.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Yeah, you got linear drains that go all the way
to one wall of the shower or the other so
you don't have to bowl the shower. Okay, it could
just be a flat slope surface. But I'll tell you
the absolute latest and greatest in drains that you don't
see are the wall drains. Wall drains. So this is
a drain that you're actually gonna mount inside the wall
(14:24):
of the shower and as you run let's say the
far side, the long side of the shower, and you're
gonna slope the floor in that direction. And as you
run the tile down, you're gonna just stop the tile
about a half an inch above the shower floor in
the wall. Oh wow, So there's literally no drain visible
on the floor whatsoever. The water the water escapes through
(14:47):
a slot in the wall and then down the drain.
It's totally accessible. You can totally clean it. Talk about
a drain that isn't there. That's the stuff these days.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
But what's the insulation and and do you have to
have a flashing on the other side to prevent it
going all the way into the wall.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Yeah? Yeah, No, the drain assembly, the pan that receives
the water. You mount it into the wall and it's
flashed into the wall tile. It's totally sealed into the
wall tile. But the point is it's not actually on
the floor at all. Oh that's great, man, that's unbluevable. Hey,
you know what I always I wondered about this. I
know one of your emailers asked about it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
But when you're moving furniture or you know, a refrigerator
into the house, or maybe you know you got some
money and you got a piano, Man, these doors are
still nineteen forty eight, you know, with how wide they are,
they can't make another wide door.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Be very, very careful when you're buying furniture that you've
already measured that you can get it into the house.
It's just just a good idea, especially if you live
in an older home.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
No, standard exterior doors now by code are thirty six inches.
They're three feet wide. But even then people are often
looking for wider doors. And the good news is probably
in the last ten years there has been an explosion.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And I love this.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
You know, as a guy you know who works on
high end to states, sure, we've been working with doors
like this, paying ultra premium custom prices forever and never, never,
never has it entered into the mainstream market. Well, now
I think I want to say about four months ago, Simpson,
which is arguably the largest door company in North America.
(16:28):
I mean there are Simpson doors at home depot and
at lows and it everywhere. Everywhere, everywhere you look, there
are Simpson doors. Simpson has now introduced a line of
oversized my favorite pivot doors. A pivot door doesn't use
standard hinges on one side. You come in about six
to nine inches and there's a top and bottom bolt
(16:51):
pivot and the door swings on that pivot. But now
we're talking about four foot wide doors, five foot wide doors,
six foot wide end tree doors that are mainstream doors.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Now.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
They're not cheap, but they are now fully accessible to
everybody in every everywhere.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Buddy, I'll be listening this weekend. Lots of emails, lots
of answers. I really appreciate you coming on. Thanks all right,
Tim Dean Sharp everybody Saturday and Sunday morning.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Right here on KFI.
Speaker 10 (17:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI.
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Matthew Perry five arrests in that I guess over accidental overdose.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
What they're calling him. The Ketemine Queen is on the hook.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
So if you've been, you know, buying drugs from the
Ketemine queen, if she cops a plea, you might be
in for it. Also, Johnny Whackter, four people arrested in
that case, in that murder in downtown LA.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Lot of publicity on that.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
So thank god, his fellow actors and an actresses entertainment
people kept that guy in the in the news, kept
that guy in the top of mind of everybody, and
those cops went after these guys and arrested four people.
There was an earthquake in Lake Elsinore. Peter Marshall passed away.
Greg Kin from the Greg greg Kin Band passed away.
(18:21):
It's it's getting crazy in La, all right. But at
least we have our Denny's. At least we have our
denny San Francisco has just lost their Denny's.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Do you know? Can you tell me?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Can you tell me how crazy a city has to
be to lose a homeless shelter like Denny's where people
are coming in all hours of the night. I don't
think there's a dress code for Denny's. I don't think
Denny's has an official dress code. And Denny says the
(18:57):
people are too fed up for us to continue surveying
these slams and to build your owns and the moons
over my Hammy and the tater Tots whatever, the loaded
tater tots they sell.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
They're leaving San Francisco.
Speaker 12 (19:13):
The last remaining Denny's since San Francisco has now closed.
On August first, the Denny's on Mission Street shut down
after being opened for twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Twenty five years and they've had enough.
Speaker 12 (19:25):
A spokesperson did not come in on the reason behind
the decision, only saying it was not.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
An easy one.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
You know, if Donald Trump was smart, he would go
to that Denny's and not even say anything, just point to go, hey.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Huh, hey, huh huh.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Closed. Denny's closed. That's what's going on here. Denny's shut
her down. They've lost an in and out up there.
They lost the Raiders, They're about to lose the A's.
They lost the Golden State Warriors to San Jose. People
are leaving San Francisco and Oakland. They're in a death spiral,
(20:06):
that city death spiral. Now they're trying to get people
back in San Francisco by offering them free rent for
their stores.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Find out more.
Speaker 8 (20:14):
In an effort to fill downtown storefront, San Francisco is
offering businesses up to six months of free rent. A
lot of spaces were left empty following the COVID nineteen pandemic.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
O Is that right? That's what it's. That's what it's.
They're blaming it on following.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
The COVID nineteen pandemic.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Okay, well, guess what. The United States all had the
COVID nineteen pandemic and we survived San Francisco. You can't
blame that on the COVID pandemic following the COVID nineteen pandemic. No, no, no, no, sweetie,
that's not the reason people are leaving San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
It has nothing to do with COVID. Let's go ahead
and bring.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
In Sarah Dennis Phillips. She's the executive director of the
Office of Economic and Workforce Development for.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That and she got her job. She got her work.
Speaker 8 (20:59):
Ahead of her whole of the Office of Economic and
Workforce Development for the City of San Francisco. Thanks for
being here, you guys. Can you tell us about the program?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
How does it work?
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Yea happy to our bacon Tobagra program came out of
Mayor Breed's downtown recovery plan that was launched last.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
February because of COVID.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
The heart of the program is that we match local entrepreneurs, artists,
small businesses with building owners that have ground floor storefronts
and we allow them six months of free rent three
to six months of free rent within that space. And
what we hope and what we've seen with our first
launch is that those turn into long term businesses. We
(21:40):
see them through this program and now our first cohort
which we launched last fall, our permanent parts of our
downtown fabric.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
All right, and what is that store?
Speaker 8 (21:49):
How does the city pay for something like this tax money?
Speaker 9 (21:53):
You know, it's a lot more administrative than it is costly.
We have a whole lot of interest from our entrepreneurs
and small.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Businesses, right, That was the question, though, the question is
how is it paid.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
It's a lot more administrative than it is costly. We
have a whole lot of interest from our entrepreneurs and small.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Businesses, the right, But how is it paid for?
Speaker 9 (22:18):
Amount of applications we've seen to the program is astounding,
almost a thousand applications overall for a very limited number
of spaces.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And how's it paid for.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
We also have a.
Speaker 9 (22:27):
Lot of interest from building owners who are slowly coming
forward to the realization that their ground floors are an
investment in their upper stories. That the more active their
ground floor is, the better chance they have of renting
and getting more revenue out of their upper stories. And
so given the interest on both the building side and
the small business side, we can sede it with a
(22:50):
very small amount of money to help the storefront build
out in its initial phases, some investment for legal fees
and signing leases, and whole lot of technical assistance.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Okay, so tax dollars.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
It's interesting.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
It's the way you describe it. It almost sounds like it's
sort of a move in special right that these building
owners they don't want those places to sit vacance. You
kind of give a little bit of that incentive. Can
you explain how filling these vacancies sort of benefits everybody?
How does it benefit the city, how does it benefit
the standard of living for residents?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Good question, asolutely.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
I mean, we see so much benefit out of this program.
Not only is it expanding our small business pool and
giving entrepreneurs a shot in downtown, which let's be honest,
before in our pre COVID times, they didn't have the
capital to do.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
What we're Also they're still blaming COVID on the trouble
with San Francisco. They will never point out the fact
that homelessness, people dumping on the streets, wild wild, out
of control, heroin problems, violate, theft is out of control.
(24:02):
None of that, it's all. It all goes back to
just blaming COVID.
Speaker 9 (24:06):
What we're also seeing is we're seeing a lively street front.
We're seeing stafer sidewalks that are now active, and we're
seeing businesses want to come back to work because now
they have the reason and incentives too. And we're seeing
the numbers result in terms of our downtown foot traffic,
while we still have a ways to go, in terms
of daytime recovery, our restaurants, bars, nightlife in downtown is
(24:30):
back to pre COVID levels because people are coming down
for the things they want to do.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
So are these businesses after the six months able to
make it and stay because we know that I'm sure
rent is still going to be high even with that
special and also because I only have a little bit
left with you. Have you been getting calls from any
other municipalities asking you about the program.
Speaker 9 (24:51):
No, we have, and you know will We'll give our
learnings to any city that wants to learn, because all
major cities are facing same structural changes in their downtown.
And I will say that, yes, we are seeing long
term success with this program. Out of the initial cohort
of storefronts that we launched last ball, seven out of
(25:13):
the nine businesses seated there are now have long term
leases for the near future. And of the two that didn't,
one of those actually never intended to be a long
term storefront.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
They wanted the holiday benefit.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
We're really hopeful that we'll see the same in the
next cohort. And what we're also seeing is that the
building owners are coming to the table and they are
offering competitive terms that are in line with our new
reality of downtown. They're offering percentage based rents there. They
now know these storefronts, these new businesses, and they want
to be partners for the long term.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
All right, Well, you hope San Francisco turns it around,
But doesn't sound like they're addressing the problems of San Francisco.
And they are deep, very very deep, and people who
are from that area. One of the reasons why property
values have not gone in the toilet, and they're so
high here in southern California because a ton of people
(26:07):
who used to live in San Francisco are moving to
Southern California.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
They have had it with San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That's what's keeping these prices down here, probably artificially high
because all the people coming down with money from northern
California to live here in Southern California. And hopefully they
don't destroy it like they destroyed San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
So clean your act up around here.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I know we don't look like it's we're cleaned up ours,
but don't add to it.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Don't add to it.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
We do.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
We can hardly afford any more. Guys, crap it on
the streets.
Speaker 10 (26:41):

that note for me, Johnny Whacter, and the four arrests
in that story.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
That was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
And those are two major news stories that all came
together today in one day and literally literally hours apart.
The Intoit Dome opens today. It's open right now. Yeah,
they're letting people in right now. So that those are
three major stories. And and and it's you know, it's
(28:28):
it's unbelievable how much news can be made in one day,
Lady Gaga might be joining Bruno Mars tonight at the
stadium with the earthquake at Lake Elsinore three point nine earthquake.
Peter Marshall passed away at age ninety eight, and I
don't think we gave Peter Marshall because all the other
(28:49):
news stories out there today, I don't think we gave
Peter Marshall his due. So Peter Marshall was, you know,
one of the most beloved guys in Hollywood, one of
the greatest hosts. I think, probably the greatest game show
host in the history of television. Let's find out more
about about Peter Marshall.
Speaker 13 (29:08):
Peter Marshall spent eight decades working in show business as
a singer, stage star, comedian, actor, and game show host,
among his many talents. I was a fan before I
ever met Peter, and when I did meet him, well,
he did not disappoint. He was kind, funny, charismatic, one
of those people who after ten minutes you felt like
you knew for years. And on TV anyway, we did.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Here the master of the Hollywood Square, Peter Marshall.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
He was the best man when he hosted Hollywood Squares.
He was the absolute best, funny guy, great ad libs.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
He was just awesome.
Speaker 13 (29:44):
In nineteen sixty six, Peter Marshall became the original host
of The Hollywood Squares. He did it for fourteen years,
but as he told me in twenty twenty, Squares was
never part of his master plan.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I admit to show this.
Speaker 14 (29:58):
Twenty five years I start on broadways.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
We are in London doing musicals and things as part
of a comedy.
Speaker 14 (30:03):
I never thought I'd wind up a game show, but
I became an entity.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Of sorts because of Squares.
Speaker 14 (30:10):
The klat Men was one of John Wayne's few non
Western pictures.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Where did the film take place? Public lipary? Great guy?
Because of Squares? All right, let's hear that joke again.
Speaker 14 (30:24):
The Paul joke was one of John waynsta because of Squares.
The klat Men was one of John Wayne's few non
Western pictures.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Where did the film take place? Public Lipary?
Speaker 13 (30:38):
When the show returned to TV with new host Tom Bergeron,
Peter was a guest for a special game show week
but Bergeron had an idea.
Speaker 11 (30:47):
We got to ask him to swap positions and he
agreed to it. And I got to tell you, George
that was one of the highlights for me.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
According to Reuters Ruytersuter, if a.
Speaker 14 (30:57):
Dog uses a high pitched unevenly he placed bark what
is it telling you?
Speaker 11 (31:02):
That would tell you that Bob Barker is at the
front door with the parrot clippers? Fear. For Peter Marshall,
week was the absolute sherry on the Sunday and when
people would ask me during the six years I did
my version, you know, do you feel like you're competing
with the original? I said, well no, because you know
that's gonna be the on the mountaintop and all we
(31:25):
can do is the best version of not screwing it up.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, Tom bergeron was right.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I used to watch that America's Funniest Home Videos, and
I used to fast forward through those dumb videos just
to hear Tom Berger and his raps.
Speaker 13 (31:40):
Long before his time on Squares, Marshall was singing, acting
and joking on TV. He even did some commercials for
Kellogg's I saw It.
Speaker 14 (31:48):
Into ten Packs, a little Something for Everybody called Kellogg's Variety.
Speaker 13 (31:52):
He briefly hosted a variety show in the seventies. Did
the Love Boat. Fantasy Island appeared in the movie version
of Annie and was part of the special A Gift
of Music.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Wow, what a career this guy had. You'll love him
know just how much I miss you.
Speaker 13 (32:13):
Peter and his wife Laurie would have celebrated their thirty
fifth anniversary on Monday. She told me before Peter died,
she'd held him in her arms watching him singing love
songs on YouTube, feeling she was being serenaded by the love.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Of her life. Wow, that is kind of cool, Laurie said.
Speaker 13 (32:32):
Peter was really a happy man who appreciated everything about life.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
And he said on his tombstone he wants to be
remembered as a guy who died of boredom.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
It's pretty funny, all right.
