We break down a major college basketball gambling scandal and check in with Mason Cohen from Build Back Pali, who helped raise an impressive $600,000 to support local Palisades businesses.
Then, Dean Sharp—the House Whisperer—joins us for a fascinating deep dive into architecture. With hundreds of architectural styles, thousands of variations, and tens of thousands of design details, he explains why, in the end, there are really only four kinds of houses. Walk down any street in America and three of them are competing for your attention… the fourth is not.
We continue the conversation with Dean Sharp, unpacking more insights on how homes are designed, perceived, and built.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camp I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We have another scandal.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
College basketball is always going to be scandals when it
comes to sports. There, it's very easy to get to
these people and to throw some money at him to
throw a game, because a lot of these kids, especially
playing college basketball, will never play pro and they don't
have any of that, you know, that money that people
(00:32):
get from exposure in the internet, have none of that cash.
So thirty thousand or twenty thousand dollars to them, it's
a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's a lot.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
So let's find out what happened this time, and who's
shaving points and who's going to prison, and how this
was discovered and maybe you lost some money on one
of these games.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Do you have a lawsuit? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Maybe I think maybe you could sue somebody. Have you
bet a thousand dollars or a hundred bucks to win
on a game that was determined to be fixed later on,
if you still have the ticket or you still have
proof that you bet on that game, you could probably
probably some you know, litigation or somebody you could sue
(01:20):
or go after him. I'm sure there is, because you
got cheated as.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Aware playing with three folls. One time Bishop Montgomery High
School stand out in Torrent's native brad as Awira, one
of more than a dozen former and current college basketball
players accused in a massive point shaving conspiracy.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
This was a scheme that spanned three years and eventually
enveloped seventeen NCAA Division One men's programs dozens of college
athletes in fixed games.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
In his one year playing for Saint Louis as a Wiro,
was accused of taking bribes from betters. All he'd have
to do is play poorly and ensure his team lost
by more points than expected, letting big bucks for the
alleged fixers. At least sixteen other college players did the same,
taking ten to thirty thousand dollars bribes each game. Wow,
and those betters won millions of dollars, but every outcome
(02:10):
wasn't to guarantee Yeah. The indictment reveals an alleged fixer,
Jalen Smith, texted a copp And State player at halftime
of a game in question, upset the guys he paid
to lose were actually playing well, writing WTF you're doing it?
Need to be a blowout.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh that's great during the game. That's how casual these
people are.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
You hoop in your blank off. WTF, the unnamed player
texted back, sane, they tried to lose by a lot,
but the other team was just as bad. They so
blank I couldn't even keep they lead together. I'm sorry
for that, bro. I try to tell my teammates to
chill and all that. Bro swear, I tried everything in
my power second half.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
This guy's trying everything to lose, and the team that
they're playing is so crappy that they can't even lose
to them.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
They alleged masterminds behind the conspiracy recruited players from several
D one schools all across the country, like the Paul
and Tulane, but no real college powerhouses.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Well that's not true. I mean, Paul is it used
to be. I don't know if they still aren't. And
Tulane is a very recognizable program. Those are pretty major
programs I don't know about in basketball to.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Paul and Tulane, but no real college powerhouses. There are
already federal gambling cases against MLB and NBA players, but
this is the first one of this scale on the
college level, and the FBI has a warning to those
young student athletes looking to make a quick buck.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
The consequences are real federal criminal charges, permanent damage to
careers and lasting horned reputations.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And prison. How about that.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
These are the shots the no athletes should take.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
The NCAA well aware of this indictment. In fact, they
are grateful for this investigation. They also want to be proactive,
saying they're asking the sports books to eliminate prop bets
from college sports because they say those are the easiest
to manipulate. Wow, Tim Capudo, ABC seven, I Witness News.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
All right, Ding dongpe, there was Cat's learn their lesson?
All right, let's talk to Dean. I'm sorry. Mason Cohen
is with us.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
He's the guy with the along with a couple of
friends of his, raised a lot of money for the
aftermath of the fires in Pacific Palisades. Mason Cohen, I
think his buddy's name were Dylan and Jake, and he
is with us.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Mason, how you Bob good? How are you doing good?
Did I get your your friend's names right? Dylan and Jake, Yes,
Dylan Fumer and Jake ian.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Oh okay, and remind the audience again how much money you
raised to help local businesses.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
So actually last time I talked to you last week,
we're at just about over three hundred k and now
we're at six hundred thousand.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Ra's.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
We had a very successful event on Friday.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Wow, what was the event that brought in all that money?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
So we did poker comedy event in the Palace Days.
We got over five hundred people there that it was
a great event. We had a bunch of people speak
like Martin Shore, Ryan Brown, the baseball player on the
Brewers that used to play for them, Una Pratt and
Tracy Park and we there are a huge poker games
(05:12):
with a huge poker for some big prizes like iPads
and all for this stuff. We had a sports ouction
with every Jersey from a sign show Atani Jersey to
sign Bo Jackson's movie, basically anything you could think of.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I don't know if you guys have heard the story
of the audience, but there these three you know, high
school students, Mason, Dylan and Jake. They went out and
raised three hundred thousand dollars then had an event last
last week or I think last Friday and they doubled
the money. So they have six hundred thousand dollars and
they're gonna give it to small businesses who have been
affected by the Palisaates fire. And you've announced the first five.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Gifts, Yes we have. So for each business we promise
for their first year run back, or if they're already back,
we will give the first subsidizer run fifty dollars wow,
for the first year for Jamie Geller's Jewelry, Ruby's Nails,
Palas Days Guard and Gaffe yogurt shop, and Jerry Blink's karate.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Oh that is great, man. They must have been thrilled, Tom, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
They were. Tears were down, their eyes are crying. They
were just so appreciative. I mean, some of them now
they're able to reopen in the Palasads.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
It just changed their life. Buddy. I think this is sensational.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I think your parents deserve a lot of credit to
properly raised you three. You're not out, you know, smoking
pot and drinking on the beaches. You guys are actually
helping the community and this is great. I hope you
have a ton more of these poker events or you know,
money raising events and keep it going because this community
can only be built back with people like you.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Thank you one hundred percent. It's all about the community.
So whatever we could do to keep the community together
in these times is what we want to do. So
we're going to continue to do as much as we can.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And these are three high school kids are doing this.
Let me get the parents a shout out. Do you
know that the names of the parents of your friends.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Yes, so the parents and my friends are Alana and
Brad Fumer. And for my friend Jake, it's Cindy Ewan
and Andrew Ian.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And what are your parents?
Speaker 6 (07:16):
My parents? My parents' names are Scott Cohen and Ashley Cohen.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Scott and who Ashley? Actually Ashley?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Okay, that is That is fantastic. They did a sensational job.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Buddy. I appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Next time you have an event and you need a
little publicity, you can always count on us.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Thank you so much. I appreciate you having me on.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
All right, thanks Mason. That is unbelievable. Thank you, buddy.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I raised six hundred thousand dollars. Three high school kids
got together, raised six hundred thousand dollars to help local
businesses and that again, that's the only way you're going
to get some of these businesses to stay and some
of these businesses to open, because right now there's not
enough people who live in the Palisades to keep a
lot of these businesses going, like a yogurt store or
(08:02):
you know what, a yogurt shop or kickboxing or whatever
it is. They can't stay in business because there's not
enough people to live out there right now. So they
need money and they need donations. And these three kids
did that, Mason, Dylan, and Jay. So that's a cool deal.
They all deserve Ada boys for that. That is a
(08:23):
really cool deal. And I'm sure they're going to take
this experience and it will, you know, also make it
easier for them to find jobs later on in life
because this will be in their background that when they
were met with adversity, they didn't again just go to
the beach and smoke weed and serve. They got to business,
(08:47):
raised money for these small businesses and help people out.
And when the CEO or whoever is going to hire
these kids sees that instant, hire instant, they would be
silly not to bring any all three of these kids
on board immediately. So anyway, congratulations those three young men.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Every Saturday on this station.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
The house whisper flies in here six to eight am
on Saturday, nine am to noon on Sunday, and he
joins us, how you Dina here?
Speaker 8 (09:25):
I am, Hey, thank you for the note last night
to see the spacecraft come back.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, I forgot you. You sent
me that very nice note. Thank you man.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
No, I mean I was already in bed and then
my phone chimes next to me, and I'm like, what
is Tim?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Wh is Tim texting me?
Speaker 8 (09:45):
And then he's then there was this whole layout and
and I'm like, geez, you know what, I'm setting an
alarm And I did, and we got up, oh five
minutes to spare. We walked outside. It was glorious. Tina
was like, I cannot believe that that's the thing in
the world. That's great. And you were able to hear it.
I couldn't hear it in Burbank. Yeah we didn't. Well, yeah,
(10:05):
we we. What was interesting is that it passed by.
We saw the whole you know, medior effect, and then
it disappeared, and then it faded out and we realized, okay,
there through the atmosphere now obviously right, and they probably
deployed their perrier. I mean, I didn't know what, you know,
until we got back in. But we we stood there
talking for about three more minutes, and as we went inside,
(10:28):
boom the sonic.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Oh wow, is that right? Yeah? After so it was
very very cool.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Did it look like it was almost straight over your
house or was it off to the west.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
It was off to the west still a little bit,
a little bit, although you know, we were a lot
closer to it than Burbank, so it was it was
very nice. You know, you got a longer tail than
I did because it came in further north and further
west than me, so you were able to see it
further as it came into the atmosphere and started burning,
(10:59):
So you probably I got a super long tail on
that thing.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
It seemed like it was about three or four inches long,
wider than my hand, the breadth of my hand as
I held it up.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It was great. So anyway, thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
All right, let's talk homes here on Earth. There's four
types of homes. The house of neglect. I love that
the house of bad ideas, the house that makes you
smile and filler. Let's start with the first one. House
of neglect. Is that something that just looks like a junkyard?
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Yeah, you know, you know these are so we're gonna
be talking about this on Sunday. There's four American houses
and people are like, oh, what are those styles? And
it's like, no, no, no, we're really talking about snyles.
We're talking about status and the house of neglect. You know,
every every neighborhood has at least one oh yeah, right, yeah,
And it's the one that you drive by, you know,
and the paint is peeling and the lawn is like
(11:51):
when when did they mow that thing last? And it
looks like there's wood rotting, and the driveway is extra cracked,
Like what's going on with that place? So it's just
that there's a lot of those in Burbank, you know,
because Burbank is, uh, there's a saying about Burbank it's
where old people go to visit their parents.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
So true. You know what.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
I grew up in Glendale and we used to we
used to talk about Burbank is like, well that's that's
old town man.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
It's right. But he usually is an older guy. You know,
maybe the.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Wife is gone so she's not busting his balls about
doing the lawn or you know, the wood that's rotting
or anything. He's just any and he could care less.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, you know what. My heart breaks when I see it.
Speaker 8 (12:37):
Uh, my heart breaks for the house and for whatever's
going on with people, and for the neighborhood as a whole. Right,
it's the kind of thing where like you feel like,
let's get three or four neighbors together and just get
over there and just help out and just at least
get the outside going. You know, you can't always do that,
but sometimes they don't watch you to. But the cautionary
(12:58):
tale for everybody who's thing is don't be that house.
Do not be that house, you know, house, do not
take care of themselves. This is the saddest of all
houses because I call it lived in but for all
practical purposes abandoned. And if somebody doesn't intervene, that house
is not going to survive. Yeah, I think you're right.
(13:19):
The second one is house of bad ideas. I know
there's one in our neighborhood that's purple and it has
a statue of a lion in the front.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Well, okay, purple is great, you know, And I'm all
for letting people's freak flag fly.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I really am. You know.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
I'm a custom home designer. So if you tell me dean,
purple's my favorite color, I wanted in my house somewhere.
But I promise you don't do this on your own.
I will find a place, a great place for the purple.
Probably not the entire outside of the house. I'm just saying.
I'm just saying what you mentioned the lines. I have
one around the corner from me. No way, is that right?
(13:59):
So you know, I mean very similar to Burbank. I
live in a neighborhood that the very first tract in
Thousand Oaks. Okay, the oldest, the oldest tract. So the houses,
the houses were fifty eight. Okay, well to is a
new town, so fifty eight is as old as it
gets out here.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
But small houses.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
I mean our house was nine hundred and forty square feet,
sitting on like a third of an acre. Big lots,
small houses. I you know, we we bought in here
because I want that big lot and and I don't
need a big house. Now my house is a little
larger than that. But the point is small houses, okay,
small little cottages, which can be fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
But you know, one of.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
Those classic bad ideas is when you decide that your
tiny little cottage is somehow deserving of the the lions
at the entryway from the sidewalk in and there are
there are no less than five of them.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Oh, that's fight.
Speaker 8 (15:00):
And you know it'd be one thing if they would
just let them be white, right like oh stonelegh. No, No,
they're painted gold. As if anybody is thinking, wow, you
know what they made it that house?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Do you see those gold lines? I wonder if that's
real gold. Wow, that's great. It's like Caesar's palace. That's great. Though.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I love looking at the House of bad ideas as
long as it's not on my block.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Well, when we come back, though, I want to talk
about the other two houses that make you smile. I
think I have a good idea what that is, but
I don't know what filler is. So we come back,
maybe you can explain those to us. All right, all right,
Dean Sharp is with us every Saturday morning six to
eight am and Sunday morning from nine am until noon,
also on Cogo. I believe on Sunday is that correct? Sunday, Yeah,
(15:54):
Sundays the Sunday nine to noon. Okay, Sunday nine to noon.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Excellent listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Kean Sharper's with Us Saturday six eight a m. Sunday
nine am until noon. And he has four types of homes.
We went through the house and neglect the house of
bad ideas, and we're up to the house that makes
you smile. Let me take a shot at this. I
think it's a well a house that's put together well.
It's either a craftsman something reminds you of your childhood
(16:30):
or something that you you know, there's stone work outside,
really clean lines with painting, well manicured lawn and flowerbed.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
There you go. You know it's well cared for.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
Yeah, man, And not just that, not just that you know,
somebody has really done something special to it. It doesn't
mean that it's you know, awe inspiring or grand. It
doesn't mean like, oh yeah, that's the big house up
behind the gates. No, no, no, we're talking about houses
in your neighborhood, right, there's always a house every couple
(17:06):
of blocks that people always talk about. You know, I
really love that house down on the corner, just around
the corner. Oh yeah, I wish I could live. I
wish I knew what was going on with that house.
And if you stand back and actually just look at it,
you realize it's not just one thing. It's just layers,
layers of right decisions, layers of upkeep. It's just it
just makes you smile. Everybody knows what I'm talking about
(17:27):
when I say that, you're driving home into your neighborhood
and there's that house, and when you see it, you're like, oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We have one in our neighborhood. It reminds me of
there's a house. It's about four houses down from us.
Floor to ceiling windows done in about eighteen inch frames
and it's probably about twelve to fifteen feet wide, and
you can see everything in the house and it looks
immaculate inside, and it looks like something you'd see in Ohio.
(17:57):
And there would be snow outside if we lived in
that kind of climate.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Yeah, you know, whatever's going on with this house? Look
at that kind of romance that inspires inside you. Right
now you just you're like, oh, God, is just a great.
This is our goal. This is our goal with your house,
whoever you are, as you listen to us, this is
our goal is to is to move your house and
shift it in that direction, and especially if it is
(18:23):
House number four, right, a filler house, which.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Odds are it is.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
But getting back to this house with the windows they
also have And I asked the guy, I said, how
did they allow you to put a wood shake roof
on that?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You know?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I thought those were illegal? And he said, oh, he goes,
that's great. He goes, I'm glad you think it's would
it's not, yeah, but looks exactly like a wooden roof
you would find somewhere in Disneyland.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
That's right, And we can do that. And it's a
rated fire raided roofs. There are at least three different
kinds of materials that we can put up in your
roof to make it look exactly not like oh kind
of shape is no, exactly like a wood shake roof.
You will have to walk up to it and actually
(19:06):
touch it and grab it and steal a shingle before
you will realize that it's not wood. And a lot
of people right now their eyebrows are going up there like,
that's I never heard of that thing. That's because we
haven't actually just taken the time to go searching there
out there there is.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
That pricey though. It's got to be.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Well, it's pricier than your asphalt roof, right, But if
you automatically just assume that it's going to be that
it's going to be something that you can't afford, then
you're never gonna actually look into it. The fact of
the matter is, you know a lot of people have
like lightweight concrete shingles and that kind of stuff, or
Spanish tile. The roof I'm talking about for a ranch
(19:45):
style house no more expensive than the Spanish tile that
goes on the spot. Really okay, you know, I remember
things that you've said either on this show or on
your show, and I have developed the same hatred that
you have for the white vinyl fencing. Oh yeah, I'm sorry,
I know it's so popular.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I just don't.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
I just really really I like wood. The The the
quote unquote lack of durability of wood is really really
a myth. Wood is incredibly durable, and you're like, oh,
but you got to repaint it. Yeah, once every decade.
What do you do and are you doing in twenty
(20:27):
thirty six, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I guess what.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
You're gonna spend a day painting your fence. And also
it would.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
It's not like there's no wear and tear on the
white vinyl either. They turn yellow.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Here's the thing. They turn yellow if they get bumped.
They crack. Now, you got a hole or one of
those weird cracks in it, and I guarantee you you
leave it out in the Southern California sun long enough
warping sagging just.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Like, uh, you don't.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
And the wind is strong enough in the valley to
blow it off its hinges. And that's a problem too. Yeah,
we replace slats all the time time. Yeah, all right.
The last one is the house of filler. What what
have we got here? This is the most common house
in Southern California. It's the most common house in America.
Speaker 10 (21:12):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
This is the house that is not the first one
of the first three. Those first three houses, whether it's neglect,
bad choices, or the one that makes you smile, at
least you notice them, right, Okay, The filler house. This
is the typical tract house, and it's all the houses
that you drive by in between seeing the one that
(21:34):
makes you smile, the one that's neglected, and the one
with the bad choices. It's a filler house. It literally
just fills up the rest of the street. There's nothing
extraordinary about it.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
You keep it.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
Nice, fine, Uh, it just sits. There tens of millions
of them across the country and they're the most There's
nothing revolting, but there's nothing inspiring about it. And this
is our goal to take that house that you live in.
People are nodding right now, saying, yeah, that's my house, Noddy,
that's my house. I can't take good care of a
(22:06):
really mediocre looking house. And my message is when the
time comes, as you start to think and dream about
the possibilities, I guarantee you we can shift the needle.
We can move the needle on that house and turn
it into the house that makes you smile.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
You know these track homes that all look alike. Do
you notice that they've only come up and they're only
popular now that drinking and driving is looked down upon,
Because if you had, you know your drunk uncle or
your drunk dad or grandfather. If he had to find
his house where all seventy homes look exactly alike, there's
(22:44):
no way he's going to score, That's right. He's going
to constantly be going to the neighbor's house, you know, fiddling.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
With his keys.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Absolutely true, Absolutely, I love those four choices. I think
that's ninety nine percent of all the homes in America.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
I think so too. And our goal is to take
each one of them this weekend and get them shifted
in the right direction, all right, and take the statues down. Yes,
unless you have a ten thousand square foot home, then
maybe you.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Know what, maybe maybe.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
You know Also I've noticed a friend of mine I
did this, and I constantly busted his balls until he
took it down.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
He had a fountain in front of his house. Yep,
a big cement fountain.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
See okay, so what a water feature in front of
a house. Not a problem for me. Let's see the
way you said it. Everybody pictured that because you're like,
this was not a water feature. It was a found
like one that should be in the middle of the
piazza in Rome. It was a fountains that does not belong.
(23:51):
If the top of your fountain is taller than your roof,
it's in the wrong place.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
That's classic. All right, I'll be doing it's Saturday or
Sunday with this Sunday show. Oh Sunday, Okay, I'll be
there for sure. This is gonna be great. All right,
thanks man, thanks for coming on. Yep, all right, there
you goes Dean Sharp. That's great. The four Types of
Home Sunday nine am until news.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
He is so good.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah, he really is. Man. He nailed all these homes too.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Like we've had a home people before and I've been
here a long time. He is the most approachable he is.
He explains things better than anybody that I've ever heard
when it refers to things like home improvements.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I wanted to ask him about a shop back, Damnit.
I guess I'll next week, or I guess I could.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
Text him with that.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
No, I wanted to know.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
Just call into the show.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, I could call him. There you go.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
I wantn't know if maybe you know the scroache putting
a filter on a shop back and a catch bag.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Does that reduce the suction?
Speaker 9 (24:46):
Well a little reduced so much, but you just keep
the filter cleaning.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
You should be fine, is that right? Yeah? I don't
want to do that.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
You don't want to keep the filter clean.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Dirty work, dirty work. All right, we're live on kfive.
We'll come back.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
The bike is evacuated the Bicycle Club, which is a
casino off the seven to ten Freeway, according to NBC.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Who's flying there? Is it? Eleana?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Yes, and she said she told us that it's closed
and it's evacuated. We're gonna come back and find out
what happened at the bike. It's always dicey when they
close the casino because you don't know who left with
your chips. If they're gonna still be there when you
get back, you got to stick around to go in
and get them when everything's done.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It's not a good look.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
We have a breaking, somewhat breaking news.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I guess it's already broken, but well I'm pretending like
it's still breaking.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Maybe it still is.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
The bike the Bicycle Club off the seven to ten
Freeway has been a vacuated. Let's find out if there's
any information coming out on as to why why would
they evacuate that hotel and casino, or maybe just the casino.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Maybe it's just the hotel. Let's find out.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
Well.
Speaker 11 (26:13):
This is the popular bicycle casino located here off of
Florence and the seven ten Freeway, where you can see
that there is a very large police response here from
the Bell Gardens Police Department in conjunction with Southgate Police
and Huntington Park. We see a couple of bearcats here
at the front entrance to the casino, which is now
being evacuated. We have seen dozens of people come out
(26:34):
of the casino here over the last few minutes, and
on social media, Bell Gardens Police is asking people to
avoid the area. They're asking you to stay clear of
Eastern between Florence and Clara. That is a major street,
and you can also see the heavy delays here along
Florence Avenue near the seven ten freeway. We're still waiting
to get information from Bell Gardens Police as to why
(26:56):
they are here, but you can see that they are
obviously out here in force trying to resolve this situation. Again,
this is an area that you're gonna want to we'll
play it here in Bell Gardens. That's the latest from
us chop before I'm at Marino.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Back to you in the studio.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
All right, well, we don't know what happened, but something's uh,
something's going on. Something's happening right there at the Bicycle Club.
And you don't want that reputation as a casino that
has a lot of mischief makers, because then people start
to slow their role and they don't go as often,
(27:30):
and then you fall on hard times and then the
casino closes. That's why they have If you go to
a popular bar or a dance club or a restaurant
that has music, and the reason why there are bouncers
outside is to get the guys who are going to
bring the guns in, to get them to not do that,
(27:53):
because restaurants get one shot at that. If a guy
comes into a restaurant and shoot somebody and kill somebody,
business goes down immediately.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Excuse me. People don't like that.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
And so they're trying to figure out what happened here,
or we're trying to figure out the news is. We'll
figure it out and then we'll tell you. But right now,
the Bicycle Club is evacuated, and that creates a lot
of turmoil because you may have left your chips behind
and maybe a lot of them, and you're nervous that
somebody's going to take them.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Maybe you go back and they're gone.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Maybe you left your jacket in there, maybe you left
your cell phone in there, and you can't call your
kids or your wife. It's a big deal. It's a
big deal when a casino closes. So we'll figure that
out and throughout the evening, we will give you the
information when.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
We get it.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
That's how this works, all right. The Port of Los Angeles,
I'm sorry. The Port of Long Beach is reporting a
record breaking year. And I heard Petros from the Petros
and Money Show. I heard him earlier talking about that
this might have something to do with the bridge height.
The bridge height in Long Beach is significantly higher and
(29:14):
taller than it is in San Pedro. The Vincent Tomage
Thomas Bridge is way too low and there, so the
big ships can't come in and they've got to go
down to Long Beach and go around that bridge. So
they either have to take that bridge down or lower
(29:37):
the water table, or they're going to constantly get beaten
out by Long Beach because the Long Beach Bridge is
much higher than the Vincent Tomage Bridge, Thomas Bridge and
and this is proof Long Beach they kicked ass but
the but the Vincent Thomas Bridge is way too low.
Speaker 10 (29:58):
The Port of Long Beach is report a banner twenty
twenty five. It's at a new cargo record, importing and
exporting nine point nine million containers. And that's despite all
the terriff uncertainties that rocked the cargo world.
Speaker 12 (30:12):
Remarkably, because of all the front loading, the decision by
cargo owners to advance their shipments to get ahead of
the terraffs, the Port of Long Beach ended in record territory,
but their ability to work around tariffs and all the
uncertainty is not sustainable.
Speaker 10 (30:26):
Port Director Noel Hasagaba hopes twenty twenty six will bring
tariff re leave. He doesn't anticipate a second record year,
but is planning for decades of continued growth.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Oh, I see what happened. They were worried about the teriff,
so they brought everything they could in before the terroriffs
kicked in.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
That's why they had such a banner year.
Speaker 10 (30:44):
He spoke with us in advance of the State of
the Port address and allowed rare behind the scenes access.
One of the most interesting things we saw here fully
automated vehicles getting these huge containers where.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
They need to go.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yeah, that is pretty interesting to watch these fully autonomous
I'm they're sort of like the back end of an
eighteen wheeler and they run around twenty four hours a
day unmanned, and they never crash into each other. It's
unbelievable to watch that dance.
Speaker 10 (31:11):
This is the edge of what's called no man's zone.
There are no drivers here. Most operations are fully automated
and run by software.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
This is a toonous transport system automated guided vehicles which
are battery operated.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
That's true. Okay, I am going to be the day
after tomorrow. I'll be in Indio.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Come on by four to four, nine oh seven, Golf
Center Parkway. I'll be there from eleven am into one pm,
and then I got a ski daddle or skidoodle whatever
the term is. But I've got to get out of
there at one PM because I got to come back
here to host the show between five and six pm
with my buddy Rich Jacoby.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
So I got a busy day on Saturday, very busy.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
But if you want to come out, we'll love seeing
We'll love to see out there four to four, nine
oh seven Golf Center, Parkway. It's the new showroom for
American Vision Windows eleven am to one pm in Indio.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I will see you there.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Louke Penrose coming up right here immediately on KFI AM
six forty Conway.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
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 camp I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We have another scandal.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
College basketball is always going to be scandals when it
comes to sports. There, it's very easy to get to
these people and to throw some money at him to
throw a game, because a lot of these kids, especially
playing college basketball, will never play pro and they don't
have any of that, you know, that money that people
(00:32):
get from exposure in the internet, have none of that cash.
So thirty thousand or twenty thousand dollars to them, it's
a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's a lot.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
So let's find out what happened this time, and who's
shaving points and who's going to prison, and how this
was discovered and maybe you lost some money on one
of these games.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Do you have a lawsuit? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Maybe I think maybe you could sue somebody. Have you
bet a thousand dollars or a hundred bucks to win
on a game that was determined to be fixed later on,
if you still have the ticket or you still have
proof that you bet on that game, you could probably
probably some you know, litigation or somebody you could sue
(01:20):
or go after him. I'm sure there is, because you
got cheated as.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Aware playing with three folls. One time Bishop Montgomery High
School stand out in Torrent's native brad as Awira, one
of more than a dozen former and current college basketball
players accused in a massive point shaving conspiracy.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
This was a scheme that spanned three years and eventually
enveloped seventeen NCAA Division One men's programs dozens of college
athletes in fixed games.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
In his one year playing for Saint Louis as a Wiro,
was accused of taking bribes from betters. All he'd have
to do is play poorly and ensure his team lost
by more points than expected, letting big bucks for the
alleged fixers. At least sixteen other college players did the same,
taking ten to thirty thousand dollars bribes each game. Wow,
and those betters won millions of dollars, but every outcome
(02:10):
wasn't to guarantee Yeah. The indictment reveals an alleged fixer,
Jalen Smith, texted a copp And State player at halftime
of a game in question, upset the guys he paid
to lose were actually playing well, writing WTF you're doing it?
Need to be a blowout.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh that's great during the game. That's how casual these
people are.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
You hoop in your blank off. WTF, the unnamed player
texted back, sane, they tried to lose by a lot,
but the other team was just as bad. They so
blank I couldn't even keep they lead together. I'm sorry
for that, bro. I try to tell my teammates to
chill and all that. Bro swear, I tried everything in
my power second half.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
This guy's trying everything to lose, and the team that
they're playing is so crappy that they can't even lose
to them.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
They alleged masterminds behind the conspiracy recruited players from several
D one schools all across the country, like the Paul
and Tulane, but no real college powerhouses.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Well that's not true. I mean, Paul is it used
to be. I don't know if they still aren't. And
Tulane is a very recognizable program. Those are pretty major
programs I don't know about in basketball to.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Paul and Tulane, but no real college powerhouses. There are
already federal gambling cases against MLB and NBA players, but
this is the first one of this scale on the
college level, and the FBI has a warning to those
young student athletes looking to make a quick buck.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
The consequences are real federal criminal charges, permanent damage to
careers and lasting horned reputations.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And prison. How about that.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
These are the shots the no athletes should take.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
The NCAA well aware of this indictment. In fact, they
are grateful for this investigation. They also want to be proactive,
saying they're asking the sports books to eliminate prop bets
from college sports because they say those are the easiest
to manipulate. Wow, Tim Capudo, ABC seven, I Witness News.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
All right, Ding dongpe, there was Cat's learn their lesson?
All right, let's talk to Dean. I'm sorry. Mason Cohen
is with us.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
He's the guy with the along with a couple of
friends of his, raised a lot of money for the
aftermath of the fires in Pacific Palisades. Mason Cohen, I
think his buddy's name were Dylan and Jake, and he
is with us.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Mason, how you Bob good? How are you doing good?
Did I get your your friend's names right? Dylan and Jake, Yes,
Dylan Fumer and Jake ian.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Oh okay, and remind the audience again how much money you
raised to help local businesses.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
So actually last time I talked to you last week,
we're at just about over three hundred k and now
we're at six hundred thousand.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Ra's.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
We had a very successful event on Friday.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Wow, what was the event that brought in all that money?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
So we did poker comedy event in the Palace Days.
We got over five hundred people there that it was
a great event. We had a bunch of people speak
like Martin Shore, Ryan Brown, the baseball player on the
Brewers that used to play for them, Una Pratt and
Tracy Park and we there are a huge poker games
(05:12):
with a huge poker for some big prizes like iPads
and all for this stuff. We had a sports ouction
with every Jersey from a sign show Atani Jersey to
sign Bo Jackson's movie, basically anything you could think of.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I don't know if you guys have heard the story
of the audience, but there these three you know, high
school students, Mason, Dylan and Jake. They went out and
raised three hundred thousand dollars then had an event last
last week or I think last Friday and they doubled
the money. So they have six hundred thousand dollars and
they're gonna give it to small businesses who have been
affected by the Palisaates fire. And you've announced the first five.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Gifts, Yes we have. So for each business we promise
for their first year run back, or if they're already back,
we will give the first subsidizer run fifty dollars wow,
for the first year for Jamie Geller's Jewelry, Ruby's Nails,
Palas Days Guard and Gaffe yogurt shop, and Jerry Blink's karate.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Oh that is great, man. They must have been thrilled, Tom, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
They were. Tears were down, their eyes are crying. They
were just so appreciative. I mean, some of them now
they're able to reopen in the Palasads.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
It just changed their life. Buddy. I think this is sensational.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I think your parents deserve a lot of credit to
properly raised you three. You're not out, you know, smoking
pot and drinking on the beaches. You guys are actually
helping the community and this is great. I hope you
have a ton more of these poker events or you know,
money raising events and keep it going because this community
can only be built back with people like you.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Thank you one hundred percent. It's all about the community.
So whatever we could do to keep the community together
in these times is what we want to do. So
we're going to continue to do as much as we can.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And these are three high school kids are doing this.
Let me get the parents a shout out. Do you
know that the names of the parents of your friends.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Yes, so the parents and my friends are Alana and
Brad Fumer. And for my friend Jake, it's Cindy Ewan
and Andrew Ian.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And what are your parents?
Speaker 6 (07:16):
My parents? My parents' names are Scott Cohen and Ashley Cohen.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Scott and who Ashley? Actually Ashley?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Okay, that is That is fantastic. They did a sensational job.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Buddy. I appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Next time you have an event and you need a
little publicity, you can always count on us.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Thank you so much. I appreciate you having me on.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
All right, thanks Mason. That is unbelievable. Thank you, buddy.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I raised six hundred thousand dollars. Three high school kids
got together, raised six hundred thousand dollars to help local
businesses and that again, that's the only way you're going
to get some of these businesses to stay and some
of these businesses to open, because right now there's not
enough people who live in the Palisades to keep a
lot of these businesses going, like a yogurt store or
(08:02):
you know what, a yogurt shop or kickboxing or whatever
it is. They can't stay in business because there's not
enough people to live out there right now. So they
need money and they need donations. And these three kids
did that, Mason, Dylan, and Jay. So that's a cool deal.
They all deserve Ada boys for that. That is a
(08:23):
really cool deal. And I'm sure they're going to take
this experience and it will, you know, also make it
easier for them to find jobs later on in life
because this will be in their background that when they
were met with adversity, they didn't again just go to
the beach and smoke weed and serve. They got to business,
(08:47):
raised money for these small businesses and help people out.
And when the CEO or whoever is going to hire
these kids sees that instant, hire instant, they would be
silly not to bring any all three of these kids
on board immediately. So anyway, congratulations those three young men.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Every Saturday on this station.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
The house whisper flies in here six to eight am
on Saturday, nine am to noon on Sunday, and he
joins us, how you Dina here?
Speaker 8 (09:25):
I am, Hey, thank you for the note last night
to see the spacecraft come back.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, I forgot you. You sent
me that very nice note. Thank you man.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
No, I mean I was already in bed and then
my phone chimes next to me, and I'm like, what
is Tim?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Wh is Tim texting me?
Speaker 8 (09:45):
And then he's then there was this whole layout and
and I'm like, geez, you know what, I'm setting an
alarm And I did, and we got up, oh five
minutes to spare. We walked outside. It was glorious. Tina
was like, I cannot believe that that's the thing in
the world. That's great. And you were able to hear it.
I couldn't hear it in Burbank. Yeah we didn't. Well, yeah,
(10:05):
we we. What was interesting is that it passed by.
We saw the whole you know, medior effect, and then
it disappeared, and then it faded out and we realized, okay,
there through the atmosphere now obviously right, and they probably
deployed their perrier. I mean, I didn't know what, you know,
until we got back in. But we we stood there
talking for about three more minutes, and as we went inside,
(10:28):
boom the sonic.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Oh wow, is that right? Yeah? After so it was
very very cool.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Did it look like it was almost straight over your
house or was it off to the west.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
It was off to the west still a little bit,
a little bit, although you know, we were a lot
closer to it than Burbank, so it was it was
very nice. You know, you got a longer tail than
I did because it came in further north and further
west than me, so you were able to see it
further as it came into the atmosphere and started burning,
(10:59):
So you probably I got a super long tail on
that thing.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
It seemed like it was about three or four inches long,
wider than my hand, the breadth of my hand as
I held it up.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It was great. So anyway, thank you for that.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
All right, let's talk homes here on Earth. There's four
types of homes. The house of neglect. I love that
the house of bad ideas, the house that makes you
smile and filler. Let's start with the first one. House
of neglect. Is that something that just looks like a junkyard?
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Yeah, you know, you know these are so we're gonna
be talking about this on Sunday. There's four American houses
and people are like, oh, what are those styles? And
it's like, no, no, no, we're really talking about snyles.
We're talking about status and the house of neglect. You know,
every every neighborhood has at least one oh yeah, right, yeah,
And it's the one that you drive by, you know,
and the paint is peeling and the lawn is like
(11:51):
when when did they mow that thing last? And it
looks like there's wood rotting, and the driveway is extra cracked,
Like what's going on with that place? So it's just
that there's a lot of those in Burbank, you know,
because Burbank is, uh, there's a saying about Burbank it's
where old people go to visit their parents.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
So true. You know what.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
I grew up in Glendale and we used to we
used to talk about Burbank is like, well that's that's
old town man.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
It's right. But he usually is an older guy. You know,
maybe the.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Wife is gone so she's not busting his balls about
doing the lawn or you know, the wood that's rotting
or anything. He's just any and he could care less.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, you know what. My heart breaks when I see it.
Speaker 8 (12:37):
Uh, my heart breaks for the house and for whatever's
going on with people, and for the neighborhood as a whole. Right,
it's the kind of thing where like you feel like,
let's get three or four neighbors together and just get
over there and just help out and just at least
get the outside going. You know, you can't always do that,
but sometimes they don't watch you to. But the cautionary
(12:58):
tale for everybody who's thing is don't be that house.
Do not be that house, you know, house, do not
take care of themselves. This is the saddest of all
houses because I call it lived in but for all
practical purposes abandoned. And if somebody doesn't intervene, that house
is not going to survive. Yeah, I think you're right.
(13:19):
The second one is house of bad ideas. I know
there's one in our neighborhood that's purple and it has
a statue of a lion in the front.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Well, okay, purple is great, you know, And I'm all
for letting people's freak flag fly.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I really am. You know.
Speaker 8 (13:37):
I'm a custom home designer. So if you tell me dean,
purple's my favorite color, I wanted in my house somewhere.
But I promise you don't do this on your own.
I will find a place, a great place for the purple.
Probably not the entire outside of the house. I'm just saying.
I'm just saying what you mentioned the lines. I have
one around the corner from me. No way, is that right?
(13:59):
So you know, I mean very similar to Burbank. I
live in a neighborhood that the very first tract in
Thousand Oaks. Okay, the oldest, the oldest tract. So the houses,
the houses were fifty eight. Okay, well to is a
new town, so fifty eight is as old as it
gets out here.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
But small houses.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
I mean our house was nine hundred and forty square feet,
sitting on like a third of an acre. Big lots,
small houses. I you know, we we bought in here
because I want that big lot and and I don't
need a big house. Now my house is a little
larger than that. But the point is small houses, okay,
small little cottages, which can be fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
But you know, one of.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
Those classic bad ideas is when you decide that your
tiny little cottage is somehow deserving of the the lions
at the entryway from the sidewalk in and there are
there are no less than five of them.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Oh, that's fight.
Speaker 8 (15:00):
And you know it'd be one thing if they would
just let them be white, right like oh stonelegh. No, No,
they're painted gold. As if anybody is thinking, wow, you
know what they made it that house?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Do you see those gold lines? I wonder if that's
real gold. Wow, that's great. It's like Caesar's palace. That's great. Though.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I love looking at the House of bad ideas as
long as it's not on my block.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Well, when we come back, though, I want to talk
about the other two houses that make you smile. I
think I have a good idea what that is, but
I don't know what filler is. So we come back,
maybe you can explain those to us. All right, all right,
Dean Sharp is with us every Saturday morning six to
eight am and Sunday morning from nine am until noon,
also on Cogo. I believe on Sunday is that correct? Sunday, Yeah,
(15:54):
Sundays the Sunday nine to noon. Okay, Sunday nine to noon.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Excellent listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Kean Sharper's with Us Saturday six eight a m. Sunday
nine am until noon. And he has four types of homes.
We went through the house and neglect the house of
bad ideas, and we're up to the house that makes
you smile. Let me take a shot at this. I
think it's a well a house that's put together well.
It's either a craftsman something reminds you of your childhood
(16:30):
or something that you you know, there's stone work outside,
really clean lines with painting, well manicured lawn and flowerbed.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
There you go. You know it's well cared for.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
Yeah, man, And not just that, not just that you know,
somebody has really done something special to it. It doesn't
mean that it's you know, awe inspiring or grand. It
doesn't mean like, oh yeah, that's the big house up
behind the gates. No, no, no, we're talking about houses
in your neighborhood, right, there's always a house every couple
(17:06):
of blocks that people always talk about. You know, I
really love that house down on the corner, just around
the corner. Oh yeah, I wish I could live. I
wish I knew what was going on with that house.
And if you stand back and actually just look at it,
you realize it's not just one thing. It's just layers,
layers of right decisions, layers of upkeep. It's just it
just makes you smile. Everybody knows what I'm talking about
(17:27):
when I say that, you're driving home into your neighborhood
and there's that house, and when you see it, you're like, oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We have one in our neighborhood. It reminds me of
there's a house. It's about four houses down from us.
Floor to ceiling windows done in about eighteen inch frames
and it's probably about twelve to fifteen feet wide, and
you can see everything in the house and it looks
immaculate inside, and it looks like something you'd see in Ohio.
(17:57):
And there would be snow outside if we lived in
that kind of climate.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Yeah, you know, whatever's going on with this house? Look
at that kind of romance that inspires inside you. Right
now you just you're like, oh, God, is just a great.
This is our goal. This is our goal with your house,
whoever you are, as you listen to us, this is
our goal is to is to move your house and
shift it in that direction, and especially if it is
(18:23):
House number four, right, a filler house, which.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Odds are it is.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
But getting back to this house with the windows they
also have And I asked the guy, I said, how
did they allow you to put a wood shake roof
on that?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You know?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I thought those were illegal? And he said, oh, he goes,
that's great. He goes, I'm glad you think it's would
it's not, yeah, but looks exactly like a wooden roof
you would find somewhere in Disneyland.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
That's right, And we can do that. And it's a
rated fire raided roofs. There are at least three different
kinds of materials that we can put up in your
roof to make it look exactly not like oh kind
of shape is no, exactly like a wood shake roof.
You will have to walk up to it and actually
(19:06):
touch it and grab it and steal a shingle before
you will realize that it's not wood. And a lot
of people right now their eyebrows are going up there like,
that's I never heard of that thing. That's because we
haven't actually just taken the time to go searching there
out there there is.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
That pricey though. It's got to be.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Well, it's pricier than your asphalt roof, right, But if
you automatically just assume that it's going to be that
it's going to be something that you can't afford, then
you're never gonna actually look into it. The fact of
the matter is, you know a lot of people have
like lightweight concrete shingles and that kind of stuff, or
Spanish tile. The roof I'm talking about for a ranch
(19:45):
style house no more expensive than the Spanish tile that
goes on the spot. Really okay, you know, I remember
things that you've said either on this show or on
your show, and I have developed the same hatred that
you have for the white vinyl fencing. Oh yeah, I'm sorry,
I know it's so popular.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I just don't.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
I just really really I like wood. The The the
quote unquote lack of durability of wood is really really
a myth. Wood is incredibly durable, and you're like, oh,
but you got to repaint it. Yeah, once every decade.
What do you do and are you doing in twenty
(20:27):
thirty six, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I guess what.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
You're gonna spend a day painting your fence. And also
it would.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
It's not like there's no wear and tear on the
white vinyl either. They turn yellow.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Here's the thing. They turn yellow if they get bumped.
They crack. Now, you got a hole or one of
those weird cracks in it, and I guarantee you you
leave it out in the Southern California sun long enough
warping sagging just.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Like, uh, you don't.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
And the wind is strong enough in the valley to
blow it off its hinges. And that's a problem too. Yeah,
we replace slats all the time time. Yeah, all right.
The last one is the house of filler. What what
have we got here? This is the most common house
in Southern California. It's the most common house in America.
Speaker 10 (21:12):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
This is the house that is not the first one
of the first three. Those first three houses, whether it's neglect,
bad choices, or the one that makes you smile, at
least you notice them, right, Okay, The filler house. This
is the typical tract house, and it's all the houses
that you drive by in between seeing the one that
(21:34):
makes you smile, the one that's neglected, and the one
with the bad choices. It's a filler house. It literally
just fills up the rest of the street. There's nothing
extraordinary about it.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
You keep it.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
Nice, fine, Uh, it just sits. There tens of millions
of them across the country and they're the most There's
nothing revolting, but there's nothing inspiring about it. And this
is our goal to take that house that you live in.
People are nodding right now, saying, yeah, that's my house, Noddy,
that's my house. I can't take good care of a
(22:06):
really mediocre looking house. And my message is when the
time comes, as you start to think and dream about
the possibilities, I guarantee you we can shift the needle.
We can move the needle on that house and turn
it into the house that makes you smile.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
You know these track homes that all look alike. Do
you notice that they've only come up and they're only
popular now that drinking and driving is looked down upon,
Because if you had, you know your drunk uncle or
your drunk dad or grandfather. If he had to find
his house where all seventy homes look exactly alike, there's
(22:44):
no way he's going to score, That's right. He's going
to constantly be going to the neighbor's house, you know, fiddling.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
With his keys.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Absolutely true, Absolutely, I love those four choices. I think
that's ninety nine percent of all the homes in America.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
I think so too. And our goal is to take
each one of them this weekend and get them shifted
in the right direction, all right, and take the statues down. Yes,
unless you have a ten thousand square foot home, then
maybe you.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Know what, maybe maybe.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
You know Also I've noticed a friend of mine I
did this, and I constantly busted his balls until he
took it down.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
He had a fountain in front of his house. Yep,
a big cement fountain.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
See okay, so what a water feature in front of
a house. Not a problem for me. Let's see the
way you said it. Everybody pictured that because you're like,
this was not a water feature. It was a found
like one that should be in the middle of the
piazza in Rome. It was a fountains that does not belong.
(23:51):
If the top of your fountain is taller than your roof,
it's in the wrong place.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
That's classic. All right, I'll be doing it's Saturday or
Sunday with this Sunday show. Oh Sunday, Okay, I'll be
there for sure. This is gonna be great. All right,
thanks man, thanks for coming on. Yep, all right, there
you goes Dean Sharp. That's great. The four Types of
Home Sunday nine am until news.
Speaker 9 (24:10):
He is so good.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah, he really is. Man. He nailed all these homes too.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Like we've had a home people before and I've been
here a long time. He is the most approachable he is.
He explains things better than anybody that I've ever heard
when it refers to things like home improvements.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I wanted to ask him about a shop back, Damnit.
I guess I'll next week, or I guess I could.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
Text him with that.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
No, I wanted to know.
Speaker 9 (24:34):
Just call into the show.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, I could call him. There you go.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
I wantn't know if maybe you know the scroache putting
a filter on a shop back and a catch bag.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Does that reduce the suction?
Speaker 9 (24:46):
Well a little reduced so much, but you just keep
the filter cleaning.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
You should be fine, is that right? Yeah? I don't
want to do that.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
You don't want to keep the filter clean.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Dirty work, dirty work. All right, we're live on kfive.
We'll come back.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
The bike is evacuated the Bicycle Club, which is a
casino off the seven to ten Freeway, according to NBC.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Who's flying there? Is it? Eleana?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Yes, and she said she told us that it's closed
and it's evacuated. We're gonna come back and find out
what happened at the bike. It's always dicey when they
close the casino because you don't know who left with
your chips. If they're gonna still be there when you
get back, you got to stick around to go in
and get them when everything's done.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It's not a good look.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
We have a breaking, somewhat breaking news.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I guess it's already broken, but well I'm pretending like
it's still breaking.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Maybe it still is.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
The bike the Bicycle Club off the seven to ten
Freeway has been a vacuated. Let's find out if there's
any information coming out on as to why why would
they evacuate that hotel and casino, or maybe just the casino.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Maybe it's just the hotel. Let's find out.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
Well.
Speaker 11 (26:13):
This is the popular bicycle casino located here off of
Florence and the seven ten Freeway, where you can see
that there is a very large police response here from
the Bell Gardens Police Department in conjunction with Southgate Police
and Huntington Park. We see a couple of bearcats here
at the front entrance to the casino, which is now
being evacuated. We have seen dozens of people come out
(26:34):
of the casino here over the last few minutes, and
on social media, Bell Gardens Police is asking people to
avoid the area. They're asking you to stay clear of
Eastern between Florence and Clara. That is a major street,
and you can also see the heavy delays here along
Florence Avenue near the seven ten freeway. We're still waiting
to get information from Bell Gardens Police as to why
(26:56):
they are here, but you can see that they are
obviously out here in force trying to resolve this situation. Again,
this is an area that you're gonna want to we'll
play it here in Bell Gardens. That's the latest from
us chop before I'm at Marino.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Back to you in the studio.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
All right, well, we don't know what happened, but something's uh,
something's going on. Something's happening right there at the Bicycle Club.
And you don't want that reputation as a casino that
has a lot of mischief makers, because then people start
to slow their role and they don't go as often,
(27:30):
and then you fall on hard times and then the
casino closes. That's why they have If you go to
a popular bar or a dance club or a restaurant
that has music, and the reason why there are bouncers
outside is to get the guys who are going to
bring the guns in, to get them to not do that,
(27:53):
because restaurants get one shot at that. If a guy
comes into a restaurant and shoot somebody and kill somebody,
business goes down immediately.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Excuse me. People don't like that.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
And so they're trying to figure out what happened here,
or we're trying to figure out the news is. We'll
figure it out and then we'll tell you. But right now,
the Bicycle Club is evacuated, and that creates a lot
of turmoil because you may have left your chips behind
and maybe a lot of them, and you're nervous that
somebody's going to take them.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Maybe you go back and they're gone.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Maybe you left your jacket in there, maybe you left
your cell phone in there, and you can't call your
kids or your wife. It's a big deal. It's a
big deal when a casino closes. So we'll figure that
out and throughout the evening, we will give you the
information when.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
We get it.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
That's how this works, all right. The Port of Los Angeles,
I'm sorry. The Port of Long Beach is reporting a
record breaking year. And I heard Petros from the Petros
and Money Show. I heard him earlier talking about that
this might have something to do with the bridge height.
The bridge height in Long Beach is significantly higher and
(29:14):
taller than it is in San Pedro. The Vincent Tomage
Thomas Bridge is way too low and there, so the
big ships can't come in and they've got to go
down to Long Beach and go around that bridge. So
they either have to take that bridge down or lower
(29:37):
the water table, or they're going to constantly get beaten
out by Long Beach because the Long Beach Bridge is
much higher than the Vincent Tomage Bridge, Thomas Bridge and
and this is proof Long Beach they kicked ass but
the but the Vincent Thomas Bridge is way too low.
Speaker 10 (29:58):
The Port of Long Beach is report a banner twenty
twenty five. It's at a new cargo record, importing and
exporting nine point nine million containers. And that's despite all
the terriff uncertainties that rocked the cargo world.
Speaker 12 (30:12):
Remarkably, because of all the front loading, the decision by
cargo owners to advance their shipments to get ahead of
the terraffs, the Port of Long Beach ended in record territory,
but their ability to work around tariffs and all the
uncertainty is not sustainable.
Speaker 10 (30:26):
Port Director Noel Hasagaba hopes twenty twenty six will bring
tariff re leave. He doesn't anticipate a second record year,
but is planning for decades of continued growth.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Oh, I see what happened. They were worried about the teriff,
so they brought everything they could in before the terroriffs
kicked in.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
That's why they had such a banner year.
Speaker 10 (30:44):
He spoke with us in advance of the State of
the Port address and allowed rare behind the scenes access.
One of the most interesting things we saw here fully
automated vehicles getting these huge containers where.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
They need to go.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yeah, that is pretty interesting to watch these fully autonomous
I'm they're sort of like the back end of an
eighteen wheeler and they run around twenty four hours a
day unmanned, and they never crash into each other. It's
unbelievable to watch that dance.
Speaker 10 (31:11):
This is the edge of what's called no man's zone.
There are no drivers here. Most operations are fully automated
and run by software.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
This is a toonous transport system automated guided vehicles which
are battery operated.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
That's true. Okay, I am going to be the day
after tomorrow. I'll be in Indio.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Come on by four to four, nine oh seven, Golf
Center Parkway. I'll be there from eleven am into one pm,
and then I got a ski daddle or skidoodle whatever
the term is. But I've got to get out of
there at one PM because I got to come back
here to host the show between five and six pm
with my buddy Rich Jacoby.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
So I got a busy day on Saturday, very busy.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
But if you want to come out, we'll love seeing
We'll love to see out there four to four, nine
oh seven Golf Center, Parkway. It's the new showroom for
American Vision Windows eleven am to one pm in Indio.
