We have time to tell this story.

If you if you heard it, it's time to go out.
And I don't get a cigarette. If you smoke, maybe
you're like Belly and you smoke cigarettes. Wander out there.
But when Otani signed with the Dodgers, it was the
biggest news story in the world. When that happened, everybody
around the world was talking about it. Over a billion
(08:56):
people knew what was happening, Way over a billion, probably
closer to to three.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Billion people, especially people in like talk radio.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Oh yeah, one hundred percent. Well, especially in a station
where literally I'm gonna pound out. I don't know if
you can hear this. I'm gonna knock on the wall
here next to me, and I'm gonna I'm gonna show
you that if they knock back. That's the sports station
that runs the Dodger games.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I'm gonna knock on the wall here all right, I'm I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
This far away, right, I'm here, and now I'm here right,
and now hear this. That's me knocking on the sports
station on their wall where they broadcast the Dodgers from.
I'm if I bring this mic over here. I'm three
(09:46):
feet away from the wall where the Dodgers broadcast from.
Here's KFI and on the other side of that wall
is KLAC five seventy AM, the Dodger station. Right here
on the other side of this wall. Right here, that wall,
right there is the Dodger station. It's less than three
(10:06):
feet from this microphone. We carry the Dodgers. The Dodgers
are our partner in that station, and it's a big,
huge deal where the Dodgers and KLAC is the big
station in town that broadcasts all the games. The Dodgers
are a bit huge. They're the most popular team probably
(10:27):
in baseball. They get the most fans in baseball. They're
the most popular team in LA by far, by far.
Over three million people go to the games every single
season at Dodger Stadium. And so we covered it, and
we weren't asked to cover it a big way, but
we was just such a big story that we all
sort of gravitated to it and it became a huge,
huge story here at KAFIE, and so we said, you know, uh,
(10:51):
Otani's gonna sign tomorrow. He's got a big press conference,
and Thursday is going to be the press conference.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
This is on Monday. We started.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
This happened like over the weekend, and then on Monday,
every he's talking about it, and we said, okay, on
Thursday at two o'clock, there's gonna be a press conference
at Dodger Stadium to announce Shoheo Tani is signed with
the LA Dodgers. And immediately everybody knew. The countdown. On
Tuesday we said it was going to be the day
after tomorrow. On Wednesday, it's gonna be tomorrow. It's gonna
(11:18):
be tomorrow two. Then on on Thursday, it's gonna be
today at two pm. Today at two and we covered
it almost three hours in every hour. We covered it
all the way up till Thursday. So Steph Fush comes
in our producer board up. He's driving in from the
Torrents area. I'm not really good on where he is
because every time I say he's from Torrents, he corrects that.
(11:40):
But are you from Torrance Hawthorne? You're from Hawthorne, but
you ever lived in Torrents?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Hey? I did live in Tortons okay, all right, yeah,
all right, let's set that right. Okay, that's where it stops.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Then, so he drove by and he comes to work
and he says to Bellio, let's get Bellio on the mic.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Here Bellio.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
When Steph Fush came in that Thursday where Otani had
his press conference at Dodger Stadium, what did he say
to you?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
We got to that might come there is?
Speaker 7 (12:09):
He says, I don't know what's going on with Dodger Stadium,
but uh, something BIG's going down. There's like helicopters, there's
reporters all around. There was like a limo and cops
were like escorting it.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
And then we said what do you think is going
on there? And he goes, oh, it's got to be
some kind of funeral.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, he thought it was a funeral.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, somebody big in the sporting world has passed away.
And Bellio like the very good friend and nurturer to
young talent who sometimes make mistakes on radio. What did
you how did you what did you say to him
to correct him and not embarrass him?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I said, hmm, I wonder what that could be. And
then and then I ran to you, and I said,
you're not.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Gonna She was so neutral, and I was.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Like, okay, not a big deal.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I've never seen her flying. I thought there was an
earthquake or a fire. She came through that door and
she goes, she shuts it and she puts her back
against like a like a cartoon, and she's like, you're not.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Gonna believe this.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Out of breath, Yeah, he thinks there's a funeral het
Dodger Stadium, met your mic outner.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Yeah, he was next to Otani's car and he didn't
realize that this.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Was the day.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
So so he said, hey, I think that was Otani
and Steph Wus just like, oh, that makes sense because
I drove by it two fifteen.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
That makes perfect sense.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I drove by it two fifteen, and that's when the
press conference is gonna be. And then like a half
hour later, he's like, but I still wonder who died.
I'm like, oh, buddy, this is gonna be a long,
long light for you. This is gonna be a long life.
What's going on with you?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
All right?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
When we come back, we're gonna see if we can
find Steph Fush's car. He lost it in Burbank today
at the AMC parking lot. Step with the highest to

It was me and Bellio and man, oh man, we've
got some news for you now. We started the show
with Steph Uje who went to the movie theater to see, uh,
what'd you can see? Godzilla versus h Kong? Right, And
that's a decent movie. Pretty good movie, okay.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
All right? And then you walked out.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
You couldn't find your car, your pre You looked for
an hour, you gave up, and you took an uber
here to work, suppressed out of your mind. Oh yeah,
because you thought it was stolen. Everything was gone. Yeah, okay.
And then we get here and Eric Sklar, who produces
the John Colebel Show, ed, I'm gonna go find his car.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Yeah, I had some time to kill. I was like,
you know what Steph is really down, and I like
how he said at first, at the top of the hour,
the movie was just okay. But now that we're here,
he's like, oh, the movie was pretty good. Okay, this
mood's changed a bit. It changes with his mood.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
And so so you drive, you leave here, and we're
on Olive.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
And basically the one thirty four yeah for geography freaks yep.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
And you make a bee line all the way up Olive, yeah,
and all the way down Olive.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
And then I take a left on First okay, and
then a right on Magnolia Boom. And there's a parking
structure for the AMC in Burbank right there, right on
the right. I turn right into the driveway. First car
I see. Listen, listen, first car, I see matches the
(16:02):
description of Steph's car. I'm not gonna put it out
there because his car is still sitting there. I don't
want anybody to go take it, Okay. I had to
be like, oh, wow, all right, this is it. I
had to double check the license plate that Steph gave
me didn't match.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Oh no, didn't match.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Ok And this is in the first over there, Oh
my goodness. And so this is in the first row
of that parking structure, and I in my head, I'm thinking,
I'm gonna start at the top of the parking structure
and work my way down. So if I didn't see
this pre or this car, sorry, I was trying.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
If he drives a p okay, all right, so everyone
knows he. I won't say the color. But I see
I see this Prius. If I didn't see it, I
was just gonna go right to the top. As I'm
driving right past, I'm gonna go up to the next level.
Out of my peripherals in that same lane a few
more cars down, but on the other side of the lane,
(17:01):
I see another Prius.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Another great one.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Yeah, And I was like, well, all right, it's on
the first form right here. I might as well just
pop it in reverse, go into this lane and check
this one. Bingo, we have a winner. Steph's car. Second
car I checked. Wow, on the first floor of the
parking structure. Whow right when you turn into the parking structure.
(17:24):
So Steph, your story checks out. You were running late
to the movie. You probably went to the first parking
spot you saw. You had no idea where you parked.
You were just like I see an open parking spot.
I got to get to Godzilla versus car exactly. I
wish we had the video that we could show you.
When you told Steph fush you found his car, he said,

going to lose your car as well. Oh two missing cars.

Hey.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
By the way, I I'm reading up about you. You know,
when you started with The Jeffersons, that show went on
for eleven years, But a lot of people didn't don't
know this, and I didn't know it until the last
couple of days that you were also a United Airlines
reservation agent and you were so worried about losing that
job that while you were playing the housekeeper on The Jeffersons,
(21:52):
you also kept your job at United Airlines.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
At night. Is that true?
Speaker 10 (21:56):
For two years?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Wow, that's wild man. What a work ethic.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
You have to work all day on the Jeffersons and
then go take you know, reservations all night for United.
Speaker 10 (22:07):
Yeah. Well the Jeffersons was a fun job, I bet.
But the United I had been there almost eleven years
and I had unlimited passes.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Oh.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
I didn't want to give that up because I had
a daughter in college.
