Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. KFI AM
six forty's Conway Show. Dodgers, Dodgers, Dodgers all day long.
Let's go really quick to Angel Martinez. Then we got
Alex Stone on with us. Where are the hotspotsor people
getting into the stadium. What's going on, Angel.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah, lots of people pouring into the stadium already, a
lot have already. They got their nice and early hours
in advance. It is great, but that five southbound remains
really tough out of Burbank, backing up from just about Olive,
it looks a little more dense than usual. Also slower
than usual is the drive out of Calabasas one O
one south away from Las Virgines all the way into downtown.
(00:44):
It's going to take you about an hour and a
half and a lot of people piling in from the
west side. You've got a very slow drive on the
Tenniese found out of Santa Monica from clover Field. And
let's see, we got one ten northbound, one ten northbound. Okay, Yeah,
it's pretty heavy away from the ninety one freeway. All
(01:05):
the way to stadium way.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
All right, we'll check back with you all night. Thank you,
Angel Martinez. Everybody, let's talk to Alex Stone.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Alex, how you Bob go Dodger.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Let's rolling. Look it's not the Rockies, but we'll take
it anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
October, but I'll deal with it.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yes, all right, So the Dodgers Yankees are going on.
But first we have some difficulties with one of my
favorite restaurants.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Yeah no, I'd end up on the toilet if oh no,
watching the game.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Oh no, no. You know I went to McDonald's last night.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Oh did you?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I got a hamburger and I said to the woman
at the drive through, because I was a little leery
about the onions, I said, can I get the ketchup only?
And I got home and it was onions only. I
ate the whole thing, did you?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
No, it was not. It was a regular small hamburger.
But they cooked those onions. If it's grilled onions, those
go north of one sixty. You're fine.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah, you should be good there on a quarter pounder.
They're not cooked unless you ask.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
That's right. Well, look, if you if you're eating uncooked vegetables,
that's on you. You're on the toilet, that's on you. Yeah,
you asked for it. You're eating raw vegetables in twenty
twenty four from a restaurant. How many people can touch that?
That's on you, baby, that's on Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
So we got new numbers today on this, I mean
outbreak or whatever it is at this point. But the
number of people who've got me COOLi after eating quarter
pounders seventy five now in thirteen states. Today they added Washington, Michigan,
and New Mexico to the list. The CDC so twenty
six new illnesses since the last time they reported earlier
(02:40):
this week, twelve more people have been hospitalized from this.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
But these are California onions, right Tailor Farm.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Well, yeah, they're owned and it's a California company, but
it was a Colorado ah process.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Okay, okay, so.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, they think that people aren't actually getting sick any longer,
but because they pulled these onions on Tuesday, but that
this is now the kind of delayed reporting of people
going oh that's right. A week and a half ago,
I had a burger and then man, I had a
really rough night and then reporting it in and being like,
oh that you know that's what it was, and that
(03:14):
the numbers are going up, so they did go up today.
McDonald's a few minutes ago said that these Colorado onions
went out to nine one hundred McDonald's stores and that
on Tuesday they yanked him once they realized day it
was probably the onions and they're no longer sourcing from
that that Colorado facility, but that they did go to
to other restaurants as well, Burger King, Taco Bell, they're
(03:37):
pulling them now. But here's what it's been like. Chris
so Hardcastle got sick and we said, tell us.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
What it was like.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
I actually felt like I was dying at first, and
she says it was.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Just severe stomach cramping, severe kidney pain.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
It was almost like mirroring labor pains.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Which we definitely know, well right, sure, yeah, right, yeah,
we know that that's painful.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I like when guys do that. I was like having
a baby, Like, really, you know that pain? And when
are they using that? You don't want to know?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
So, yeah, they've confirmed now they believe it is the
yellow onions on the the sliced ones only used on
the quarter pounders, not the chopped up ones coming from
it's weird to me that they've got one plant that
does slivered and other plants to do chopped up. Why
wouldn't they just come from.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
The same thing.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, you know, I never heard that term slivered onions
until today.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Nor did I Christ said sliced.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, right, exactly, say slivered.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
But so they say that all the other burghers are
fine and that you're gonna be okay some of the
other Like there's a brito chain in Colorado called Illegal Pets.
They've had to take things off their menu because they
get the onions from there as well. So it's, uh,
it's affecting a lot of different places. But but they
say that they think everything's good now. They don't think
anybody's getting sick. It's safety what's on the menu. But
(04:54):
the lawsuits are being filed now, people are are getting
their lawsuits together. They're they're said them in and this
is one of those attorneys.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
It's terrifying.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
I mean, I imagine eating a burger in two days
later being deathly ill.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
No one expects that from eating a hammer.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Yeah, their stock has gone down, but and they do
think tim that the numbers are going to keep going
up with this delayed reporting that more people are going
to say, yeah, I got sick as well, So they
say expected to go up, but they don't think people
are getting sick. The other thing, the person who died
in Colorado, that person was elderly. They say it can
be deadly, but probably not for most people. You're gonna
have a really rough night or two on the toilet,
(05:31):
but most people aren't going to die. They may have
to go to the hospital. But but that one person
elderly in Colorado did.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I bet the numbers are much bigger than that because
most people don't report it.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah, or they're just now figuring it out. But if
you think that this woe they sold a million quarter
pounders during the two week period. They think this was
out there. It went to nine hundred stores. It's probably
going to go higher than seventy five.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
You know, I've never been to this restaurant, but I
imagine just by the title of it, it's great. I'd
love to go to Illegal peas well.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
As a kid who went to college in Colorado at
the University of Colorado, I can tell you illegal Piece
after a night.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
A dreass oh man. You know, there was a comedian
years and years ago that said that McDonald's was going
to take the little toy out of the Happy Meal
because it encourages kids to eat there and he's and
his line was, that is why they put it in
the Happy meal. That's right, that's right. So he said,
if you know, McDonald's gonna take the toy out of
(06:27):
the Happy Meal, but if they're really serious about helping
us out, whenever they brought out the McRib, they'd put
a five point harness on their toilets.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
And what is the McRib It's not really the rib, right,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
What it is, but I was a huge fan of
the McRib.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Or it is the rib meat, but they reformed it.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
When it came out, I loved it, and then when
it disappeared, I was depressed. On my mind. It comes
on that really nice soft long bun.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Ah the slivered onions on it too.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yes, it does. Yeah, exactly right, that's exactly right. All right, buddy,

Traffic Karmageddon today in Los Angeles, bad vibes. If you're
just driving around not participating any one of these six.
Speaker 10 (11:18):
Events, Traffic is going to be bad until late into
the night as everyone is leaving those games in those concerts.
So La mer Cairenbass announced yesterday that there will be
a coordinated effort to try and reduce traffic today. So
this is kind of like a practice run before the
city hosts the twenty twenty six World Cup and the
twenty twenty eight Olympics and Paralympics in the next few years.
(11:42):
The mayor is encouraging people to take public transportation, and
today Metro is doubling their Dodger Stadium Express shuttle service,
which will begin three hours ahead of the first pitch.
Metro is also running extra service on the AB D
and E lines today and tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Where this woman is standing, there's a reporter standing on
the fast lane on the freeway doing this spot.
Speaker 10 (12:05):
The LA Department of Transportation will deploy more than one
hundred white Glove traffic officers to help with traffic flow,
and the city is also coordinating with app companies for
accurate GPS routes, so there's definitely a lot of effort
going into trying to make sure things are running smoothly.
Speaker 11 (12:21):
Today, city's Emergency Operations Center will active activate to a
Level three. LAP will strategically deploy officers and increase visibility
at various venues, while our Fire department will strategically station
paramedic and medical personnel to be at the ready.

Speaker 10 (12:46):
Looking ahead to tomorrow game to the World Series is tomorrow.

be busy today and it will be busy tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
All right, it's going to be busy, man, it is
going to be busy. We'll be out in the desert
starting right about now, I guess, I guess, actually starting
earlier today. But you've got six events going on around
Los Angeles and it's going to be tough, man. It
is going to be tough to get around, very tough.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
All right.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Wagering on the Dodgers Yankees. Let's find out what's going on,
who's the favorite, and how you can make a couple
of bucks.
Speaker 12 (13:24):
What does the World Series without a friendly wager between cities?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Oh no, I don't like these.
Speaker 12 (13:29):
So it features a showdown between the sheriffs.
Speaker 9 (13:32):
Wearing the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Cat go Dodgers. It's always like, you know, a steak
for a I don't know, groceries, Dodger dogs, yeah right, yeah,
Cony hot dogs or donuts.
Speaker 12 (13:47):
Here's the deal. If or when the Dodgers win the series,
the sheriff of Suffolk County and New York promises to
wear a Dodger hat for the day.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Who who cares.
Speaker 12 (13:56):
The Yankees win? Sheriff Luna will wear a Yankees hat.
Zay Luna told the Sheriff's department employees they can wear
Dodger blue while they're on duty.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Oh good, all right, well that's exciting.
Speaker 13 (14:09):
He should say that he was gonna wear a New
York hat, and then he'd wear a Mets hat.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
How about they have to move He has to move
to New York for a year, or the other sheriff
has to move here. I switched jobs for a month,
that's right. Yeah, for a year.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Hell, world, it's making really worthwhile. All right, Dodger tickets
if you don't have them yet, I don't know if
you can still get rock.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Stars a side. The upcoming World Series between the La
Dodgers and New York Yankees has fans clamoring to get tickets.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
But as soon as the boys in Blue punched a
ticket to the World Series, baseball fans felt a left
hook to their bank account. The cheapest seats were twelve
hundred dollars a seat.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, and those seats were way way upstairs, way upstairs.
So it's you're probably not going to Let me look
real quick and see if there's any tickets left for tonight.
Let's go to a stub hub. Let's go to the
World Series and see tickets and tickets Yep, still tickets available.
Oh yeah, let's see two tickets one two together. Okay,
(15:11):
let me say I can help you out here, two
together for a Dodgers stadium. Let's see. Oh, you can
sit way way downstairs for five fifty three hundred dollars.
You can sit way out in up in the grand
stand where you can sit in the outfield for sixteen
hundred dollars, No, eleven hundred, eleven hundred, eleven hundred, or
(15:34):
way upstairs for nine hundred and forty five bucks. Let
scalpers out there in the front. No, because it's all
electronic crap now, so you can't even really do that anymore.
Speaker 13 (15:44):
They don't even have physical ticket. They don't have it's
not even an option.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
No, it sucks because I used to love scalping tickets.
I used to love that, that that racket, you know,
going out there and just always entertaining, working a game,
and you can make three four five grand on a
on a game like this, And now at those guys
that that business is over, you know, it's completely what
do Yeah, yeah, but you have to be the electronic
(16:09):
game together. But the guy standing out there. You know
I need to I need to. That's over, you know,
that's completely gone, and there's something romantic about that. It
was great. It was great to be able to go
there and the best move. And these scalpers all know
this move. But if a guy wants a hundred bucks
for a ticket and you're willing to pay fifty, they
would flip a coin. You call it heads or tails.
(16:32):
Heads of the hundred, tails, it's fifty and system. That
was a fun game to play too. You know, sometimes
you get it for fifty. Sometimes you get screwed. But
all the scalpers know that. You know, that's like a
racket out there. But that was fun to do the scalp,
you know, tickets. I enjoyed that. I probably did it
way too much. All Right, we're watching Dodger traffic. Angel
(16:53):
Martine this is on it. We'll check back with her
when we come back. The Dodger Stadium is filling up.
It's gonna be full today. It's gonna be past fifty six,
fifty seven thousand people out there tonight. Maybe you're on
your way right now. We'll give you an update on
traffic when we come back. We're live a half thirty eight,
thirty nine minutes away from first pitch thirty nine minutes away.
(17:15):
It's exciting back in Los Angeles the Dodgers World Series.
Speaker 9 (17:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
KFI AM six forty is Conway Show? Is there a
fire near Dodgers Stadium? Is it possible that there's a
fire fairly close to Dodger Stadium? Please? That can't be
That can't be true. That looks like it is. Maybe
it's not that close to the stadium, but it does
look like there's a fire downtown. I'm watching Channel five
(17:46):
right now. Angel Can people still leave the valley right
now and make it to Dodger Stadium in time? Oh no, Jimmy,
give it.
Speaker 11 (17:56):
Traffic can't do it.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Okay, all right? Does look like a lot of traffic.
Major events going on in Los Angeles right now. You've
got the Dodger game, You've got the Lakers, You've got
USC playing Rutgers, and then there's a concert at the
end to a dome, a concert at the Key of Form,
and you've got the East West game. Garfield who plays
in that Crozier Garfield and Roosevelt, right, and that's a
(18:20):
long standing annual game eight and ninth believe it eighty ninth, Wow,
and it's pretty close. I think it's like forty three
to forty one with wins and losses. So that game
is going to go on at SOFI Stateiument and that'll
draw twenty twenty five thousand people, and I'm sure a
lot of those people will also be watching their phone
(18:41):
and watching the Dodger game as well.
Speaker 13 (18:43):
I saw somebody say that it's like the biggest high
school rivalry west of the Mississippi, and I'm like, I
think Texas might have an argument in that one.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, Texas the man, They really take their their high
school football seriously. Yeah, this number Friday Night Lights came
from indeed from Texas. All Right, we're going to keep
an eye on everything Dodgers. That game starts in thirty
one minutes. So if you're not quite at the stadium yet,
you got thirty one minutes to get into the parking lot,
run to the stadium, get a hot dog, sit in
(19:14):
your seat. Thirty one minutes. So I know a lot
of people are panicking right now. Don't panic. You'll get there.
Maybe a little late. Who knows, but man, it's going
to be great. It's going to be great, all right,
Fernando Velezuela was just honored on TV. But they're going
to do something. I imagine at five o'clock they're unfurrowing
(19:35):
the big flag, so we're gonna have the national anthem
here in a moment that at the flag looks like
it's one hundred and fifteen feet long, So that's cool
deal to watch. And broadcaster Jimi Hareem, he is remembering
Fernando Valenzuela.
Speaker 14 (19:51):
The retired number thirty four of legendary picture Fernando Venezuela
is on top deck here. So many people are thinking
about this and feeling about this.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
His memory his influencing other lives.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Of people echoing through out Dodger Stadium and Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Dodgers broadcaster Hommy having had.
Speaker 14 (20:09):
A very deep friendship with Fernando, Homy welcome me into
his home to talk about their special bonds.
Speaker 15 (20:16):
It has been a very rough time for me, even
though you know, we expected something, whispect that the end
was near because I saw him about three weeks ago.
I went to the ballpark and I went to the
booth and I didn't see him doing well at all.
He was asking me, tell me what happened?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
What happened here?
Speaker 15 (20:35):
I mean, he had problems writing the lineups and everything,
so he was really But I asked him, how are you, Fernando,
Are you feeling okay? Oh yeah, no, I fine, never
moved fine. But I knew he had lost so much weight.
It was unbelievable. So it didn't surprise me, but it
was a shock.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Why do you think it hit is so hard?
Speaker 16 (20:55):
Well?
Speaker 15 (20:55):
I spent so much time with him, you know, he
was like my younger brother four years, never had a
bad word between us, and nothing, nothing, nothing. That's why
I really hit me very hard, hit me very very hard,
more than I expected.
Speaker 17 (21:10):
You know what's so interesting with the fact that it's
the World.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Series again, it's the Yankees again, there's something, you know,
all these connections.
Speaker 17 (21:19):
You'll be sad for.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Him that he's not going to be able to experience.
Speaker 15 (21:22):
If the Dodgers win and the series goes six games,
the number six will be on his birthday.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Oh wow, is that wild? I didn't know that the
sixth game will be on Fernando of Alzuela's birthday. That's crazy.
Speaker 15 (21:36):
The number six will be on his birthday November first,
and he has passed away too young.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Why did Angelinas love him so much?
Speaker 17 (21:47):
What was it about it?
Speaker 15 (21:48):
He had such a charisma, the fact that he was
so young, the fact that he had long hair, he
was a little bit chobby.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, he was the best man. I got to see
him play. I was very, very haigh happy to have
said that. And I got to watch that man play
know English.
Speaker 15 (22:03):
At all those things combined to create what Fernando became
an idol. People put in love with him, and it
was unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, it was great, Fernando Velzzuela. Here's where is that?
Ron Say and Steve Jeger. Ronse played third base for
the Dodgers. Steve Yeger was the catcher. And here's these
two guys remembering Fernando allens Weela. Both of them played with.
Speaker 18 (22:26):
Fernando Alezuela made his Dodgers debut in nineteen eighty, but
his first full season was nineteen eighty one, and no
one could have predicted Fernando mania. For his teammates, like
catcher Steve Jeger, they did know even at nineteen years old,
he was special.
Speaker 19 (22:39):
In spring training, we got a little idea of what
this young man could do.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
He never got rattled.
Speaker 19 (22:44):
I've never seen a game where Freddie didn't know what
to do with the ball was hit to him.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
What was going on?
Speaker 20 (22:49):
It was, you know, a new dimension to you know,
our our our Dodger legacy. And then you know, following that,
you know, here comes Sieonomo and Channel Park and we're
waking up Asia and a wee hours of the morning.
So we became international.
Speaker 18 (23:04):
Unlike modern day superstars who are often known before they
reached professional sports, Fernando transcended the game with his play,
not a marketing strategy.
Speaker 19 (23:13):
He won the hearts of the fans in Los Angeles
and across the country, and he earned the respect of
his teammates.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
He changed the world from Latin America all the way
to Canada. I mean, all they were talking about was Fernando.
And you know, like, you know, he didn't even have
a second name. Yeah, that's right, it's just Fernando. Man,
everybody knew im as Fernando. All right, They're gonna honor
him tonight at the stadium. That'll be a cool deal.
And then also there is a some local players they're
(23:43):
gonna be playing in the series tonight. So some local
kids made it big.
Speaker 21 (23:48):
We all know this year's World Series is packed with
big time stars for the Dodgers and Yankees, but some
of those stars are actually from Southern California. The two
starting pitchers for Game one of the World Series are
both low Dodgers. Jack Flaherty went to Harvard Westlake and
Garrett Cole went to Orange Luther in high school.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
Wow, I mean crazy, even you just look at California
in general, of the guys that have come out of here,
even some guys that aren't playing. You look at Glass
and you know, what a what a role he played
for this team for majority of the year, and how
much he you know, he'd love to be out there.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
I mean, Southern California is a hotbed for talent. I
mean the blessing is that we can play baseball all year,
you know, so there's there's there's always time to work
on your game. Sometimes, you know, actually playing all year
may may not be super beneficial, but you know, for
the most part, it's a great it's it's it's a
collection of great talent.
Speaker 21 (24:37):
Now that's not the only local story. Remember that USC
UCLA rivalry. It's alive and well at the World Series.
Dave Roberts and Aaron Boone played in the UCLA USC
rivalry thirty years ago. Now Roberts is a manager for
the Dodgers and Boom for the Yangs.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
So Roberts went to UCLA and Boone went to us.
That's pretty yeah.
Speaker 16 (24:58):
I can see Doc in that little slaps wing he
had where he hit the ball the other way. He
was a good player, but I remember him well, kind
of lead off hit or left fielder for the Bruins.
Speaker 15 (25:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
A lot of connection, man, lots of connection to southern California.
Are we going to continue talking about the Dodgers. Keep
you update on traffic as well. It's gonna be a
nightmare to get in there and to get around Los
Angeles tonight, but everything will be calmed by tomorrow and
it should be easier to get to Dodger Stadium tomorrow
night than it was today. We'll also take a look
(25:31):
at the East West football game at Sofi Stadium. That's
a big deal. The eighty ninth East LA Classic going
on here at Sofi Stadium, and Sofi had a big
event last night. The Rams beat the Minnesota's by ten points.
And the Kings won last night. Kings had their home
(25:51):
opener last night against San Jose. So everybody's eyes are
on Los Angeles right now. And as Crozier pointed out,
we're getting some international news out of Iran. There might
have been some retaliation by Israel. We'll keep you updated
on that as well.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
KFI AM six forty Conway Show, All right on your
Where in the stadium is Angel Martinez with us or
Mike O'Brien, Hello, Hey, Angel, how are you? Michael? How
are you Michael? Where are you flying? Well, we are
just entering o' orange County.
Speaker 9 (26:30):
We had you know, we had to get out of
Dodger Stadium to kick you out.
Speaker 18 (26:33):
Yeah, for the flight restriction.
Speaker 16 (26:35):
But yeah, we're just a cruiser down acrossing the Santa
Ana River, just heading into coach Samasa South World five.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So you got some great photos of Dodger Stadium about
an hour ago. That was great. Thanks for sending him
on pup.
Speaker 18 (26:49):
Yeah, no problem.
Speaker 19 (26:50):
Yeah, really well, I think they were listening to you
yesterday when you said get there early.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
There early, are you guys, both coming to the party
tomorrow night. Absolutely wo yeah, all right, yeah, all right, excellent,
all right, Angel, thank you, Michael Angel Martinez. Getting into
the stadium is it's still a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It still is really tough, a little lighter than at
last check. But I mean, for example, I'm looking at
Stadium Way and it's not as bad as it was
a couple of hours ago. Same with Sunset Boulevard. But
you know what's going to slow things down. You've got
this big old crash in New Haul on the five southbound.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Coming up on the fourteen.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
They're still blocking the two left lanes, and that's that
drive is just crawling out of Valencia.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
But you probably look if you live in Valencia and
you leave it at four point thirty or four o'clock
for a five o'clock World Series game, that's on you.
That's on you. Sorry, that's right, that's right. You screwed up.
Not our fault, not the Angel's fault at all. All right,
We'll keep checking with you, Angel, Thank you, Angel Martinez.
(27:57):
And that's not the only traffic all around the city.
Six major events going on, and so we're going to
keep an eye on everything happening for you. Here so
you can enjoy the game. And it looks like I'm
looking at the they're introducing the Dodgers right now, and man,
it looks like that stadium is packed. It is already packed.
Everybody is there except for the you know, twenty five
(28:21):
cars that decided to show a plate. But man, that
stadium is filled. It looks like everybody's in Dodger blue.
Which is great. That's sensational. That's the way it should be.
Go Dodgers World Series against the Yankees. Oh man, oh man,
oh man. That is really a cool deal. All right.
Tommy lasorda big part of my childhood. He's no longer
(28:44):
real us. He passed away shortly after the Dodgers won
the World Series in twenty twenty, but his daughter looks
back at the Dodgers.
Speaker 22 (28:52):
It only took Tommy was sort of a year after
He was hired to make it to the World Series
in nineteen seventy seven and again in nineteen seven, both
times against the Yankees, and both times the Dodgers lost
in six games. Bitter sweet getting there twice, but heartbreak
falling to the Bombers in back to back years.
Speaker 17 (29:10):
I think it hurt to lose and I think that
it propelled him even more. I mean, you know him
and I know him, and he never wanted to lose.
But I think that was crushing and that was that
was the power that got them through eighty one.
Speaker 22 (29:28):
Redemption did come calling in nineteen eighty one, as Lesorda
led Big Blue to the World Series again, and yes
again it was the Mighty Yankees. Dodgers lost the first
two games, but caught a spark from Fernando's Game three
complete game, and Losorda's Boys in Blue would rattle off
four straight wins for the first of his two World
Series championships.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yeap eighty one and eighty eight. We can't talk about
the Dodgers without mentioning Sho hey Otani. The man is
going to be his first World Series of hearance, which
is cool, but this is a worldwide phenomenon. This is
everybody in the world looking at Show Heyotan.
Speaker 23 (30:07):
With the Dodgers taking another swing at a World Championship series,
Los Angeles tourism officials are updating an old Tom Cruise
line from to show Hey the Money. Dodgers start Show
Hey Otani, bringing a lot of attention and tourism dollars
from his homeland Japan.
Speaker 13 (30:28):
We've seen about two hundred thirty thousand visitors thus far
from Japan.
Speaker 23 (30:33):
Bill Cars is with the Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board.
He says, Otani and teammate Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Hey, those are
icons in baseball loving Japan and responsible for a big
part of the influx of Japanese tourists flocking to LA
this year.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
And this is world wide. People around the world are
watching this World Series and Shoeotani might be the most
popular athlete in the world right now. You know, maybe
outside of soccer. I don't know. There might be some
guys playing soccer that have bigger numbers, but not in baseball. Man,
this guy's the king.
Speaker 24 (31:09):
Not just fans in LA. We'll be cheering on the
Dodgers in the World Series. People across Japan will be
rooting for the boys in Blue, of course because of
their hometown player, Sho Hey Otani. We're joined now live
by Broadcast Journal. How are you, Maya Moto. She is
a former reporter for the Tokyo Broadcasting System and lives
in Tokyo. It's so nice to have you. Welcome to
the show.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
Hi, good morning.
Speaker 24 (31:29):
So there is so much excitement here in LA right now,
what about you? What are you seeing in Japan? As
the World Series is about to get underway?
Speaker 14 (31:36):
Right, So we're so excited. Japanese people are excited, definitely,
and my friends are calling this like once in a
lifetime experience. You know, there were Japanese players in the
US before, but playing in the World Series is something
very special. And with Shohei Otani, he's not just one player,
but he's the cornerstone of the legendary Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
So put to put it.
Speaker 14 (32:00):
Into perspective, if Otani's story or turned into an anime
or manga, people won't buy it because it's too unrealistic.
So it's truly unbelievable what he's achieving.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
It is truly unbelievable, all right, from shoe Otani, the
best player on the field maybe and certainly the MVP
of the National League, all the way to the guy
playing the organ tonight at the game, maybe listening to
a KFI in the car. When you listen to the
organ tonight, that guy grew up in Burbank. The man
behind he's a Burbank local kid. The man behind the
(32:34):
organ up in the press box. Get Rule, Let's listen. Yeah,
it's a Bourbank connection.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Dieta Rule on the Itilate eighty eighty.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
He's in the press box his ninth year on the
organ for the Dodgers. He's done the Kings for decades.
Dieter is from the grew up in Burbank as the.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Yeah clarity, it's a lifelong dream, acistic be here at
Dodger Stadium because really, he says, when it comes right
down to it, he's.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
A fan who really loves his work.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
How does this one feel compared to seasons gone by?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Here at the Dodger Stadium?
Speaker 23 (33:16):
This World series is an extra special?
Speaker 16 (33:18):
I mean it's Dodgers and Yankees, you know, and it's
just it's been such a great, crazy year with Otani here.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
What's your favorite? Your favorite?
Speaker 18 (33:28):
Probably take me out to the ballgame.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Oh mine as well? Yeah, you know, I'm glad they
didn't update that song. It still sounds like it's you know,
nineteen twenty eight when they play that song, which is great.
(33:53):
I mean, our grandparents and great great grandparents who watch
baseball listen to almost this exact same version of this song.
In the seventh inning stretch. What a great tradition.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Take me out to the ballpark.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
We can all remember going to games with our parents,
with our family members from our arms around each other
and serenading in the middle of the seventh Inny, take
me out to the ballpark?
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Right, does it? Take me out to the ballpark? Was
take me out to the game? Maybe? Take me out
to the ball game, wasn't it? Maybe some guys, you know,
not the baseball fans that are covering this game. I
don't know. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 11 (34:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I don't know. Take me out to the ballpark. Take
me out to the ball park. Take me out to
the people in the seage, buy me some pizza and
spaghetti with the extra marinaro songs. Yeah, I don't know
if that sounds odd, Take me out to the ballpark. Boy,
and nobody at back at the you know, at the
(35:00):
TV station, goes, hey, can we recut that take me
out of the ball game? I think a lot of
people remember, let's take me out of the ball game.
All right. We are moments away from first pitch LA
Dodgers New York Yankees World Series in Los Angeles. Man,
everybody around the world is looking at us. So I'm
gonna ask you just once there want to be a
(35:21):
downer here, Let's behave all right when we see the world,
when when we go with my mom used to say,
when we go to see the world, the world sees us.
That goes on tonight, when when we're broadcast throughout the world,
the world we see the world, the world sees us.
So let's behave tonight just once, just once. La Conway
(35:42):
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can
always hear us live on KFI AM six forty four
to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. KFI AM
six forty's Conway Show. Dodgers, Dodgers, Dodgers all day long.
Let's go really quick to Angel Martinez. Then we got
Alex Stone on with us. Where are the hotspotsor people
getting into the stadium. What's going on, Angel.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah, lots of people pouring into the stadium already, a
lot have already. They got their nice and early hours
in advance. It is great, but that five southbound remains
really tough out of Burbank, backing up from just about Olive,
it looks a little more dense than usual. Also slower
than usual is the drive out of Calabasas one O
one south away from Las Virgines all the way into downtown.
(00:44):
It's going to take you about an hour and a
half and a lot of people piling in from the
west side. You've got a very slow drive on the
Tenniese found out of Santa Monica from clover Field. And
let's see, we got one ten northbound, one ten northbound. Okay, Yeah,
it's pretty heavy away from the ninety one freeway. All
(01:05):
the way to stadium way.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
All right, we'll check back with you all night. Thank you,
Angel Martinez. Everybody, let's talk to Alex Stone.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Alex, how you Bob go Dodger.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Let's rolling. Look it's not the Rockies, but we'll take
it anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
October, but I'll deal with it.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yes, all right, So the Dodgers Yankees are going on.
But first we have some difficulties with one of my
favorite restaurants.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Yeah no, I'd end up on the toilet if oh no,
watching the game.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Oh no, no. You know I went to McDonald's last night.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Oh did you?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I got a hamburger and I said to the woman
at the drive through, because I was a little leery
about the onions, I said, can I get the ketchup only?
And I got home and it was onions only. I
ate the whole thing, did you?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
No, it was not. It was a regular small hamburger.
But they cooked those onions. If it's grilled onions, those
go north of one sixty. You're fine.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah, you should be good there on a quarter pounder.
They're not cooked unless you ask.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
That's right. Well, look, if you if you're eating uncooked vegetables,
that's on you. You're on the toilet, that's on you. Yeah,
you asked for it. You're eating raw vegetables in twenty
twenty four from a restaurant. How many people can touch that?
That's on you, baby, that's on Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
So we got new numbers today on this, I mean
outbreak or whatever it is at this point. But the
number of people who've got me COOLi after eating quarter
pounders seventy five now in thirteen states. Today they added Washington, Michigan,
and New Mexico to the list. The CDC so twenty
six new illnesses since the last time they reported earlier
(02:40):
this week, twelve more people have been hospitalized from this.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
But these are California onions, right Tailor Farm.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Well, yeah, they're owned and it's a California company, but
it was a Colorado ah process.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Okay, okay, so.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, they think that people aren't actually getting sick any longer,
but because they pulled these onions on Tuesday, but that
this is now the kind of delayed reporting of people
going oh that's right. A week and a half ago,
I had a burger and then man, I had a
really rough night and then reporting it in and being like,
oh that you know that's what it was, and that
(03:14):
the numbers are going up, so they did go up today.
McDonald's a few minutes ago said that these Colorado onions
went out to nine one hundred McDonald's stores and that
on Tuesday they yanked him once they realized day it
was probably the onions and they're no longer sourcing from
that that Colorado facility, but that they did go to
to other restaurants as well, Burger King, Taco Bell, they're
(03:37):
pulling them now. But here's what it's been like. Chris
so Hardcastle got sick and we said, tell us.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
What it was like.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
I actually felt like I was dying at first, and
she says it was.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Just severe stomach cramping, severe kidney pain.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
It was almost like mirroring labor pains.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Which we definitely know, well right, sure, yeah, right, yeah,
we know that that's painful.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I like when guys do that. I was like having
a baby, Like, really, you know that pain? And when
are they using that? You don't want to know?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
So, yeah, they've confirmed now they believe it is the
yellow onions on the the sliced ones only used on
the quarter pounders, not the chopped up ones coming from
it's weird to me that they've got one plant that
does slivered and other plants to do chopped up. Why
wouldn't they just come from.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
The same thing.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, you know, I never heard that term slivered onions
until today.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Nor did I Christ said sliced.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, right, exactly, say slivered.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
But so they say that all the other burghers are
fine and that you're gonna be okay some of the
other Like there's a brito chain in Colorado called Illegal Pets.
They've had to take things off their menu because they
get the onions from there as well. So it's, uh,
it's affecting a lot of different places. But but they
say that they think everything's good now. They don't think
anybody's getting sick. It's safety what's on the menu. But
(04:54):
the lawsuits are being filed now, people are are getting
their lawsuits together. They're they're said them in and this
is one of those attorneys.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
It's terrifying.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
I mean, I imagine eating a burger in two days
later being deathly ill.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
No one expects that from eating a hammer.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Yeah, their stock has gone down, but and they do
think tim that the numbers are going to keep going
up with this delayed reporting that more people are going
to say, yeah, I got sick as well, So they
say expected to go up, but they don't think people
are getting sick. The other thing, the person who died
in Colorado, that person was elderly. They say it can
be deadly, but probably not for most people. You're gonna
have a really rough night or two on the toilet,
(05:31):
but most people aren't going to die. They may have
to go to the hospital. But but that one person
elderly in Colorado did.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I bet the numbers are much bigger than that because
most people don't report it.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah, or they're just now figuring it out. But if
you think that this woe they sold a million quarter
pounders during the two week period. They think this was
out there. It went to nine hundred stores. It's probably
going to go higher than seventy five.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
You know, I've never been to this restaurant, but I
imagine just by the title of it, it's great. I'd
love to go to Illegal peas well.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
As a kid who went to college in Colorado at
the University of Colorado, I can tell you illegal Piece
after a night.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
A dreass oh man. You know, there was a comedian
years and years ago that said that McDonald's was going
to take the little toy out of the Happy Meal
because it encourages kids to eat there and he's and
his line was, that is why they put it in
the Happy meal. That's right, that's right. So he said,
if you know, McDonald's gonna take the toy out of
(06:27):
the Happy Meal, but if they're really serious about helping
us out, whenever they brought out the McRib, they'd put
a five point harness on their toilets.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
And what is the McRib It's not really the rib, right,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
What it is, but I was a huge fan of
the McRib.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Or it is the rib meat, but they reformed it.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
When it came out, I loved it, and then when
it disappeared, I was depressed. On my mind. It comes
on that really nice soft long bun.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Ah the slivered onions on it too.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yes, it does. Yeah, exactly right, that's exactly right. All right, buddy,

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Traffic Karmageddon today in Los Angeles, bad vibes. If you're
just driving around not participating any one of these six.
Speaker 10 (11:18):
Events, Traffic is going to be bad until late into
the night as everyone is leaving those games in those concerts.
So La mer Cairenbass announced yesterday that there will be
a coordinated effort to try and reduce traffic today. So
this is kind of like a practice run before the
city hosts the twenty twenty six World Cup and the
twenty twenty eight Olympics and Paralympics in the next few years.
(11:42):
The mayor is encouraging people to take public transportation, and
today Metro is doubling their Dodger Stadium Express shuttle service,
which will begin three hours ahead of the first pitch.
Metro is also running extra service on the AB D
and E lines today and tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Where this woman is standing, there's a reporter standing on
the fast lane on the freeway doing this spot.
Speaker 10 (12:05):
The LA Department of Transportation will deploy more than one
hundred white Glove traffic officers to help with traffic flow,
and the city is also coordinating with app companies for
accurate GPS routes, so there's definitely a lot of effort
going into trying to make sure things are running smoothly.
Speaker 11 (12:21):
Today, city's Emergency Operations Center will active activate to a
Level three. LAP will strategically deploy officers and increase visibility
at various venues, while our Fire department will strategically station
paramedic and medical personnel to be at the ready.
Speaker 10 (12:41):
And looking ahead to tomorrow games.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Sounds like she's on a rocket ship and.
Speaker 10 (12:46):
Looking ahead to tomorrow game to the World Series is tomorrow.
We have another Lakers game, an LA Galaxy game, and
also two concerts happening around town, so it's going to
be busy today and it will be busy tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
All right, it's going to be busy, man, it is
going to be busy. We'll be out in the desert
starting right about now, I guess, I guess, actually starting
earlier today. But you've got six events going on around
Los Angeles and it's going to be tough, man. It
is going to be tough to get around, very tough.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
All right.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Wagering on the Dodgers Yankees. Let's find out what's going on,
who's the favorite, and how you can make a couple
of bucks.
Speaker 12 (13:24):
What does the World Series without a friendly wager between cities?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Oh no, I don't like these.
Speaker 12 (13:29):
So it features a showdown between the sheriffs.
Speaker 9 (13:32):
Wearing the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Cat go Dodgers. It's always like, you know, a steak
for a I don't know, groceries, Dodger dogs, yeah right, yeah,
Cony hot dogs or donuts.
Speaker 12 (13:47):
Here's the deal. If or when the Dodgers win the series,
the sheriff of Suffolk County and New York promises to
wear a Dodger hat for the day.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Who who cares.
Speaker 12 (13:56):
The Yankees win? Sheriff Luna will wear a Yankees hat.
Zay Luna told the Sheriff's department employees they can wear
Dodger blue while they're on duty.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Oh good, all right, well that's exciting.
Speaker 13 (14:09):
He should say that he was gonna wear a New
York hat, and then he'd wear a Mets hat.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
How about they have to move He has to move
to New York for a year, or the other sheriff
has to move here. I switched jobs for a month,
that's right. Yeah, for a year.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Hell, world, it's making really worthwhile. All right, Dodger tickets
if you don't have them yet, I don't know if
you can still get rock.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Stars a side. The upcoming World Series between the La
Dodgers and New York Yankees has fans clamoring to get tickets.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
But as soon as the boys in Blue punched a
ticket to the World Series, baseball fans felt a left
hook to their bank account. The cheapest seats were twelve
hundred dollars a seat.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, and those seats were way way upstairs, way upstairs.
So it's you're probably not going to Let me look
real quick and see if there's any tickets left for tonight.
Let's go to a stub hub. Let's go to the
World Series and see tickets and tickets Yep, still tickets available.
Oh yeah, let's see two tickets one two together. Okay,
(15:11):
let me say I can help you out here, two
together for a Dodgers stadium. Let's see. Oh, you can
sit way way downstairs for five fifty three hundred dollars.
You can sit way out in up in the grand
stand where you can sit in the outfield for sixteen
hundred dollars, No, eleven hundred, eleven hundred, eleven hundred, or
(15:34):
way upstairs for nine hundred and forty five bucks. Let
scalpers out there in the front. No, because it's all
electronic crap now, so you can't even really do that anymore.
Speaker 13 (15:44):
They don't even have physical ticket. They don't have it's
not even an option.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
No, it sucks because I used to love scalping tickets.
I used to love that, that that racket, you know,
going out there and just always entertaining, working a game,
and you can make three four five grand on a
on a game like this, And now at those guys
that that business is over, you know, it's completely what
do Yeah, yeah, but you have to be the electronic
(16:09):
game together. But the guy standing out there. You know
I need to I need to. That's over, you know,
that's completely gone, and there's something romantic about that. It
was great. It was great to be able to go
there and the best move. And these scalpers all know
this move. But if a guy wants a hundred bucks
for a ticket and you're willing to pay fifty, they
would flip a coin. You call it heads or tails.
(16:32):
Heads of the hundred, tails, it's fifty and system. That
was a fun game to play too. You know, sometimes
you get it for fifty. Sometimes you get screwed. But
all the scalpers know that. You know, that's like a
racket out there. But that was fun to do the scalp,
you know, tickets. I enjoyed that. I probably did it
way too much. All Right, we're watching Dodger traffic. Angel
(16:53):
Martine this is on it. We'll check back with her
when we come back. The Dodger Stadium is filling up.
It's gonna be full today. It's gonna be past fifty six,
fifty seven thousand people out there tonight. Maybe you're on
your way right now. We'll give you an update on
traffic when we come back. We're live a half thirty eight,
thirty nine minutes away from first pitch thirty nine minutes away.
(17:15):
It's exciting back in Los Angeles the Dodgers World Series.
Speaker 9 (17:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
KFI AM six forty is Conway Show? Is there a
fire near Dodgers Stadium? Is it possible that there's a
fire fairly close to Dodger Stadium? Please? That can't be
That can't be true. That looks like it is. Maybe
it's not that close to the stadium, but it does
look like there's a fire downtown. I'm watching Channel five
(17:46):
right now. Angel Can people still leave the valley right
now and make it to Dodger Stadium in time? Oh no, Jimmy,
give it.
Speaker 11 (17:56):
Traffic can't do it.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Okay, all right? Does look like a lot of traffic.
Major events going on in Los Angeles right now. You've
got the Dodger game, You've got the Lakers, You've got
USC playing Rutgers, and then there's a concert at the
end to a dome, a concert at the Key of Form,
and you've got the East West game. Garfield who plays
in that Crozier Garfield and Roosevelt, right, and that's a
(18:20):
long standing annual game eight and ninth believe it eighty ninth, Wow,
and it's pretty close. I think it's like forty three
to forty one with wins and losses. So that game
is going to go on at SOFI Stateiument and that'll
draw twenty twenty five thousand people, and I'm sure a
lot of those people will also be watching their phone
(18:41):
and watching the Dodger game as well.
Speaker 13 (18:43):
I saw somebody say that it's like the biggest high
school rivalry west of the Mississippi, and I'm like, I
think Texas might have an argument in that one.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, Texas the man, They really take their their high
school football seriously. Yeah, this number Friday Night Lights came
from indeed from Texas. All Right, we're going to keep
an eye on everything Dodgers. That game starts in thirty
one minutes. So if you're not quite at the stadium yet,
you got thirty one minutes to get into the parking lot,
run to the stadium, get a hot dog, sit in
(19:14):
your seat. Thirty one minutes. So I know a lot
of people are panicking right now. Don't panic. You'll get there.
Maybe a little late. Who knows, but man, it's going
to be great. It's going to be great, all right,
Fernando Velezuela was just honored on TV. But they're going
to do something. I imagine at five o'clock they're unfurrowing
(19:35):
the big flag, so we're gonna have the national anthem
here in a moment that at the flag looks like
it's one hundred and fifteen feet long, So that's cool
deal to watch. And broadcaster Jimi Hareem, he is remembering
Fernando Valenzuela.
Speaker 14 (19:51):
The retired number thirty four of legendary picture Fernando Venezuela
is on top deck here. So many people are thinking
about this and feeling about this.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
His memory his influencing other lives.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Of people echoing through out Dodger Stadium and Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Dodgers broadcaster Hommy having had.
Speaker 14 (20:09):
A very deep friendship with Fernando, Homy welcome me into
his home to talk about their special bonds.
Speaker 15 (20:16):
It has been a very rough time for me, even
though you know, we expected something, whispect that the end
was near because I saw him about three weeks ago.
I went to the ballpark and I went to the
booth and I didn't see him doing well at all.
He was asking me, tell me what happened?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
What happened here?
Speaker 15 (20:35):
I mean, he had problems writing the lineups and everything,
so he was really But I asked him, how are you, Fernando,
Are you feeling okay? Oh yeah, no, I fine, never
moved fine. But I knew he had lost so much weight.
It was unbelievable. So it didn't surprise me, but it
was a shock.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Why do you think it hit is so hard?
Speaker 16 (20:55):
Well?
Speaker 15 (20:55):
I spent so much time with him, you know, he
was like my younger brother four years, never had a
bad word between us, and nothing, nothing, nothing. That's why
I really hit me very hard, hit me very very hard,
more than I expected.
Speaker 17 (21:10):
You know what's so interesting with the fact that it's
the World.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Series again, it's the Yankees again, there's something, you know,
all these connections.
Speaker 17 (21:19):
You'll be sad for.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Him that he's not going to be able to experience.
Speaker 15 (21:22):
If the Dodgers win and the series goes six games,
the number six will be on his birthday.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Oh wow, is that wild? I didn't know that the
sixth game will be on Fernando of Alzuela's birthday. That's crazy.
Speaker 15 (21:36):
The number six will be on his birthday November first,
and he has passed away too young.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Why did Angelinas love him so much?
Speaker 17 (21:47):
What was it about it?
Speaker 15 (21:48):
He had such a charisma, the fact that he was
so young, the fact that he had long hair, he
was a little bit chobby.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, he was the best man. I got to see
him play. I was very, very haigh happy to have
said that. And I got to watch that man play
know English.
Speaker 15 (22:03):
At all those things combined to create what Fernando became
an idol. People put in love with him, and it
was unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, it was great, Fernando Velzzuela. Here's where is that?
Ron Say and Steve Jeger. Ronse played third base for
the Dodgers. Steve Yeger was the catcher. And here's these
two guys remembering Fernando allens Weela. Both of them played with.
Speaker 18 (22:26):
Fernando Alezuela made his Dodgers debut in nineteen eighty, but
his first full season was nineteen eighty one, and no
one could have predicted Fernando mania. For his teammates, like
catcher Steve Jeger, they did know even at nineteen years old,
he was special.
Speaker 19 (22:39):
In spring training, we got a little idea of what
this young man could do.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
He never got rattled.
Speaker 19 (22:44):
I've never seen a game where Freddie didn't know what
to do with the ball was hit to him.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
What was going on?
Speaker 20 (22:49):
It was, you know, a new dimension to you know,
our our our Dodger legacy. And then you know, following that,
you know, here comes Sieonomo and Channel Park and we're
waking up Asia and a wee hours of the morning.
So we became international.
Speaker 18 (23:04):
Unlike modern day superstars who are often known before they
reached professional sports, Fernando transcended the game with his play,
not a marketing strategy.
Speaker 19 (23:13):
He won the hearts of the fans in Los Angeles
and across the country, and he earned the respect of
his teammates.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
He changed the world from Latin America all the way
to Canada. I mean, all they were talking about was Fernando.
And you know, like, you know, he didn't even have
a second name. Yeah, that's right, it's just Fernando. Man,
everybody knew im as Fernando. All right, They're gonna honor
him tonight at the stadium. That'll be a cool deal.
And then also there is a some local players they're
(23:43):
gonna be playing in the series tonight. So some local
kids made it big.
Speaker 21 (23:48):
We all know this year's World Series is packed with
big time stars for the Dodgers and Yankees, but some
of those stars are actually from Southern California. The two
starting pitchers for Game one of the World Series are
both low Dodgers. Jack Flaherty went to Harvard Westlake and
Garrett Cole went to Orange Luther in high school.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
Wow, I mean crazy, even you just look at California
in general, of the guys that have come out of here,
even some guys that aren't playing. You look at Glass
and you know, what a what a role he played
for this team for majority of the year, and how
much he you know, he'd love to be out there.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
I mean, Southern California is a hotbed for talent. I
mean the blessing is that we can play baseball all year,
you know, so there's there's there's always time to work
on your game. Sometimes, you know, actually playing all year
may may not be super beneficial, but you know, for
the most part, it's a great it's it's it's a
collection of great talent.
Speaker 21 (24:37):
Now that's not the only local story. Remember that USC
UCLA rivalry. It's alive and well at the World Series.
Dave Roberts and Aaron Boone played in the UCLA USC
rivalry thirty years ago. Now Roberts is a manager for
the Dodgers and Boom for the Yangs.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
So Roberts went to UCLA and Boone went to us.
That's pretty yeah.
Speaker 16 (24:58):
I can see Doc in that little slaps wing he
had where he hit the ball the other way. He
was a good player, but I remember him well, kind
of lead off hit or left fielder for the Bruins.
Speaker 15 (25:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
A lot of connection, man, lots of connection to southern California.
Are we going to continue talking about the Dodgers. Keep
you update on traffic as well. It's gonna be a
nightmare to get in there and to get around Los
Angeles tonight, but everything will be calmed by tomorrow and
it should be easier to get to Dodger Stadium tomorrow
night than it was today. We'll also take a look
(25:31):
at the East West football game at Sofi Stadium. That's
a big deal. The eighty ninth East LA Classic going
on here at Sofi Stadium, and Sofi had a big
event last night. The Rams beat the Minnesota's by ten points.
And the Kings won last night. Kings had their home
(25:51):
opener last night against San Jose. So everybody's eyes are
on Los Angeles right now. And as Crozier pointed out,
we're getting some international news out of Iran. There might
have been some retaliation by Israel. We'll keep you updated
on that as well.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
KFI AM six forty Conway Show, All right on your
Where in the stadium is Angel Martinez with us or
Mike O'Brien, Hello, Hey, Angel, how are you? Michael? How
are you Michael? Where are you flying? Well, we are
just entering o' orange County.
Speaker 9 (26:30):
We had you know, we had to get out of
Dodger Stadium to kick you out.
Speaker 18 (26:33):
Yeah, for the flight restriction.
Speaker 16 (26:35):
But yeah, we're just a cruiser down acrossing the Santa
Ana River, just heading into coach Samasa South World five.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So you got some great photos of Dodger Stadium about
an hour ago. That was great. Thanks for sending him
on pup.
Speaker 18 (26:49):
Yeah, no problem.
Speaker 19 (26:50):
Yeah, really well, I think they were listening to you
yesterday when you said get there early.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
There early, are you guys, both coming to the party
tomorrow night. Absolutely wo yeah, all right, yeah, all right, excellent,
all right, Angel, thank you, Michael Angel Martinez. Getting into
the stadium is it's still a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It still is really tough, a little lighter than at
last check. But I mean, for example, I'm looking at
Stadium Way and it's not as bad as it was
a couple of hours ago. Same with Sunset Boulevard. But
you know what's going to slow things down. You've got
this big old crash in New Haul on the five southbound.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Coming up on the fourteen.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
They're still blocking the two left lanes, and that's that
drive is just crawling out of Valencia.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
But you probably look if you live in Valencia and
you leave it at four point thirty or four o'clock
for a five o'clock World Series game, that's on you.
That's on you. Sorry, that's right, that's right. You screwed up.
Not our fault, not the Angel's fault at all. All right,
We'll keep checking with you, Angel, Thank you, Angel Martinez.
(27:57):
And that's not the only traffic all around the city.
Six major events going on, and so we're going to
keep an eye on everything happening for you. Here so
you can enjoy the game. And it looks like I'm
looking at the they're introducing the Dodgers right now, and man,
it looks like that stadium is packed. It is already packed.
Everybody is there except for the you know, twenty five
(28:21):
cars that decided to show a plate. But man, that
stadium is filled. It looks like everybody's in Dodger blue.
Which is great. That's sensational. That's the way it should be.
Go Dodgers World Series against the Yankees. Oh man, oh man,
oh man. That is really a cool deal. All right.
Tommy lasorda big part of my childhood. He's no longer
(28:44):
real us. He passed away shortly after the Dodgers won
the World Series in twenty twenty, but his daughter looks
back at the Dodgers.
Speaker 22 (28:52):
It only took Tommy was sort of a year after
He was hired to make it to the World Series
in nineteen seventy seven and again in nineteen seven, both
times against the Yankees, and both times the Dodgers lost
in six games. Bitter sweet getting there twice, but heartbreak
falling to the Bombers in back to back years.
Speaker 17 (29:10):
I think it hurt to lose and I think that
it propelled him even more. I mean, you know him
and I know him, and he never wanted to lose.
But I think that was crushing and that was that
was the power that got them through eighty one.
Speaker 22 (29:28):
Redemption did come calling in nineteen eighty one, as Lesorda
led Big Blue to the World Series again, and yes
again it was the Mighty Yankees. Dodgers lost the first
two games, but caught a spark from Fernando's Game three
complete game, and Losorda's Boys in Blue would rattle off
four straight wins for the first of his two World
Series championships.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yeap eighty one and eighty eight. We can't talk about
the Dodgers without mentioning Sho hey Otani. The man is
going to be his first World Series of hearance, which
is cool, but this is a worldwide phenomenon. This is
everybody in the world looking at Show Heyotan.
Speaker 23 (30:07):
With the Dodgers taking another swing at a World Championship series,
Los Angeles tourism officials are updating an old Tom Cruise
line from to show Hey the Money. Dodgers start Show
Hey Otani, bringing a lot of attention and tourism dollars
from his homeland Japan.
Speaker 13 (30:28):
We've seen about two hundred thirty thousand visitors thus far
from Japan.
Speaker 23 (30:33):
Bill Cars is with the Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board.
He says, Otani and teammate Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Hey, those are
icons in baseball loving Japan and responsible for a big
part of the influx of Japanese tourists flocking to LA
this year.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
And this is world wide. People around the world are
watching this World Series and Shoeotani might be the most
popular athlete in the world right now. You know, maybe
outside of soccer. I don't know. There might be some
guys playing soccer that have bigger numbers, but not in baseball. Man,
this guy's the king.
Speaker 24 (31:09):
Not just fans in LA. We'll be cheering on the
Dodgers in the World Series. People across Japan will be
rooting for the boys in Blue, of course because of
their hometown player, Sho Hey Otani. We're joined now live
by Broadcast Journal. How are you, Maya Moto. She is
a former reporter for the Tokyo Broadcasting System and lives
in Tokyo. It's so nice to have you. Welcome to
the show.
Speaker 14 (31:28):
Hi, good morning.
Speaker 24 (31:29):
So there is so much excitement here in LA right now,
what about you? What are you seeing in Japan? As
the World Series is about to get underway?
Speaker 14 (31:36):
Right, So we're so excited. Japanese people are excited, definitely,
and my friends are calling this like once in a
lifetime experience. You know, there were Japanese players in the
US before, but playing in the World Series is something
very special. And with Shohei Otani, he's not just one player,
but he's the cornerstone of the legendary Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
So put to put it.
Speaker 14 (32:00):
Into perspective, if Otani's story or turned into an anime
or manga, people won't buy it because it's too unrealistic.
So it's truly unbelievable what he's achieving.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
It is truly unbelievable, all right, from shoe Otani, the
best player on the field maybe and certainly the MVP
of the National League, all the way to the guy
playing the organ tonight at the game, maybe listening to
a KFI in the car. When you listen to the
organ tonight, that guy grew up in Burbank. The man
behind he's a Burbank local kid. The man behind the
(32:34):
organ up in the press box. Get Rule, Let's listen. Yeah,
it's a Bourbank connection.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Dieta Rule on the Itilate eighty eighty.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
He's in the press box his ninth year on the
organ for the Dodgers. He's done the Kings for decades.
Dieter is from the grew up in Burbank as the.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Yeah clarity, it's a lifelong dream, acistic be here at
Dodger Stadium because really, he says, when it comes right
down to it, he's.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
A fan who really loves his work.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
How does this one feel compared to seasons gone by?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Here at the Dodger Stadium?
Speaker 23 (33:16):
This World series is an extra special?
Speaker 16 (33:18):
I mean it's Dodgers and Yankees, you know, and it's
just it's been such a great, crazy year with Otani here.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
What's your favorite? Your favorite?
Speaker 18 (33:28):
Probably take me out to the ballgame.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Oh mine as well? Yeah, you know, I'm glad they
didn't update that song. It still sounds like it's you know,
nineteen twenty eight when they play that song, which is great.
(33:53):
I mean, our grandparents and great great grandparents who watch
baseball listen to almost this exact same version of this song.
In the seventh inning stretch. What a great tradition.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Take me out to the ballpark.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
We can all remember going to games with our parents,
with our family members from our arms around each other
and serenading in the middle of the seventh Inny, take
me out to the ballpark?
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Right, does it? Take me out to the ballpark? Was
take me out to the game? Maybe? Take me out
to the ball game, wasn't it? Maybe some guys, you know,
not the baseball fans that are covering this game. I
don't know. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 11 (34:37):
I don't know.
