Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF I am sixty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
there's something you're doing in your car right now that
I do all the time, and the cops are looking
for it now.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
So we got to be aware of this. All right.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
You cannot touch your phone while you're driving. You can't
pick it up, you can't shuffle through it, you can't
change your radio station, you can't touch it at all.
That phone is off limits. I do it, I think
all the time. I know belli O does it a lot.
I don't know about Krozier. You do it all Krozier, Oh,
(00:42):
I never do it?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
All right? Do you do it? Does stef fush? Very
very seldom unless I'm working. But you don't touch your
phone while you're driving? No, not unless I'm working? Well,
what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
When I do?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I kind of have to? Okay? So you do do it?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Are you okay? Yeah? Krozier, do you do it? You
touch your phone while you're driving?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I've gotten much better, I have to say it, not
not doing it?
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yeah, yeah, I was guilty of it a couple of times.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I just need to look at this just for quick
sec good. It's pressing, and I've consciously been much better
at it.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, there is no text on there that is worth
an accident. I'll give you that, But angel do you
do it? You seem like you're probably always on your
phone and maybe sometimes you drive.
Speaker 7 (01:26):
Well.
Speaker 8 (01:27):
Sometimes I don't sit there in like text conversations or anything.
But if I've come to a complete stop and I'm
sandwiched in between a couple of cars at either a
red light or seriously traffic that has just stopped because
no lanes are moving anywhere, I might glance at it
to look at the traffic map or something, because I
(01:49):
probably talked about that incident all day and drove right
into it.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
But you don't.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You never drive to sant Anita while making bets on TVG.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
No, Oh I do that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, zip it, zip it pal. But you ever do
this when you're you're driving and you're looking at your
phone and then you almost get into an accident and
you have to stop short and you're.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Like, oh my god, I almost hit this guy. Oh
I'm never going to do that again.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Two miles later back, yeah you're doing it again. Yeah,
it takes about two miles to get right back into it.
But the cops you'll go ahead.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
I was gonna say, don't, don't.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
Does your nose clear after that adrenaline rush from almost crashing?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
No, it's it, It doesn't. I mean you you know
you you put the phone down, You're like, oh, man,
I almost killed myself. I almost killed that guy in
front of me. And then like three miles later, you're like,
what was that tex again? What was going on with
that text on?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
But you're not allowed to touch, which I think is
odd because you know you're I think you're allowed to
eat while you drive. I think you can eat a hamburger,
fries and a co if you can manage that while
you're driving.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I think a lot of people do that.
Speaker 8 (03:03):
You can put on makeup, ask Bellio, oh okay, yeah yeah,
Bellio makes yourself pretty.
Speaker 9 (03:09):
Yeah, at least I make myself pretty.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Here we go. He That's how it always starts. That's
how it starts.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Between these two.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
All right, you cannot touch that phone if you are driving.
LAPD's going to pull you over and give you a warning.
It's going to cost you some money. And then the
second time it's going to cost you a point on
your license.
Speaker 10 (03:32):
Bily if it says th around this month of April,
it will be looking for drivers suspected of violating the
hands for your.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Cell Phone law.
Speaker 10 (03:39):
On the current law, drivers are not allowed to hold
the phone or electronic communications device while driving.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Do you hear that the laws in the state of
California were made for your protection, so please obey them.
And this is one of the big ones that we all.
There's people in the car right now on their phone
while they're listening to the station. While they're listening to us,
tell you the LAPD is going to pull you over
and give you a ticket for that.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
They are on their phone right now.
Speaker 10 (04:06):
Drivers are not allowed to hold the phone or electronic
communications device while driving. Violating the law is punishable by
a fine. A second violation for the same offense within
thirty six months will add a point to the driver's record.
The LAPD urges drivers a pull over to a safe
parking spot to make that important phone call.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Who does that a safe parking spot? You pull off
the freeway and what get into a dupars parking lot
before you can text somebody the thumbs up.
Speaker 10 (04:35):
The lapd urges drivers a pull over it.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, you've gotten off the freeway and pulled into a
parking spot to give somebody thumbs up, to.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
Send them a middle finger emoji.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Okay, all right, all right, all right, but what do
you type in your phone where that comes up?
Speaker 8 (05:09):
Well, you go into your emoji thing, go into your
finger hands signals.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
But look when I type in my cell phone, I'm
not driving, so I can do this. If I type okay,
three things come up, the okay sign, the check mark
with a green background, and then the thumbs up. But
what can I type in that will bring up the

The Dodgers are going to the White House. To see
President Trump and the White House. I'm going to come
back and tell you what their schedule is going to be.
They're going next Monday. We're going to talk to David
Vasse live from the White House on Monday. That'd be
a big deal. So you got to be here four
to seven pm on Monday. But when back, I'll tell
you the schedule. When the Dodgers are going. HI can
see it live, how you can watch the whole deal.
(08:36):
It's a big deal, Dodgers going to the White House
because they won the World Series last year.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty HI.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
During the last segment, I was unaware that I could
give the middle finger to somebody. I didn't know that
was one of my emojis, and I asked how to
get there, and I got so far forty one different
people texting me the middle finger and Lance from the Simpsons, Lance,
Eric Scott or three of them Eric, another Eric to
(09:10):
Eric's angel Krozier, my sister, my cousin. The list goes
on and Okay, I get it, I get it. Another
one from Juno the guard at Marshalls. I got that one.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Why do you.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
Have the guard from Marshall's phone number? Why is that?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Good question? Good question? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I think I bought something there at Marshalls and then
I went to take it back.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
And oh, you were like like a shirt, like a
theme shirt or something for a party you were invited
to that you weren't going to ever wear again, or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
God do you know me?
Speaker 9 (09:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
It was a Fourth of July party at Kennedy's d
It was a Fourth of July shirt and Fourth of
July pants and I didn't need him anymore. So I
was going to take him back, but the line was
too long, and I still have him.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
So where does the.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Bottom end for you? That's you're sol the wind. Yeah,
that's probably where it is. That's probably where it ends.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Maybe not, but the but the guy Juno is a
is a big fan of the show and KFI, and
so I got to talk to him.
Speaker 9 (10:19):
That's very nice. He was a cool dude.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
They're they're okay. I get that. I get that.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You know why you would think I would run into
some problems where I knew the guard at Marshall's, but
I didn't. He's just a nice guy. I have his
number and he has my nice Yeah, I'm friendly. I
get out there belly owed. You know, I don't sit
in the house all day all cooped up like you
think I do.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I get out there.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Are the Dodgers your favorite baseball team? After not, you
need to change your allegiance to the Dodgers. So if
you're a Mets fan, you're a Pittsburgh Pirates fan no longer.
You're now a Dodger. If you live in LA and
you listen to the station Dodgers or your team, Dodgers
say they'd have accepted an invite from Donald Trump to
visit the White House to celebrate the team's twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Four World Series win.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
The Dodgers made the announcement on social media of keeping
a pretty long tradition of champions meeting the President of
the United States. The team announce it'll visit the White
House on April seventh, which is next Monday, before visiting
the Capitol Hill following day. So the Dodgers, that says,
(11:33):
the Dodgers look forward to visiting the White House and
celebrating our title. According to the team on X, the
team earned its invite to the White House after defeating
the New York Yankees before they're torpedo bats in a
dramatic Game five in October, staging the biggest comeback to
clinch World Series baseball game in a history of the
(11:56):
World Series. You may remember that inning where the Yankees
gave up five unearned runs and the Dodgers came back
to beat the Yankees and won the World Series. There were, however,
questions whether the Dodgers would attend, But that's all been
swept under the rug, and the Dodgers are going to
the White House. Here's a quote from Roberts. It says
(12:19):
it wasn't a formal conversation that we had as a
ball club. It's certainly a huge honor to get the
invitation to visit the White House. It allows us to
celebrate our twenty twenty four championship. To my understanding, every
World Series champion gets that honor, and it's a great
honor for us. So that's cool. Dodgers going to the
(12:40):
White House. And I believe Assay is going, Is that right.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Bellone, Yes, yes, And we will have him live from
the White House on Monday.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh, that's a great book. That's a great booking.
Speaker 9 (12:52):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, I wonder if it'll be like all the other
teams where they visit there's a jersey exchanged and then
they go into a room and there's like nine hundred
you know, Big Max. That's possible. So the Dodgers are
off to see the Wizard. They're wonderful Wizard of Oz
going to the White House to see the Dodgers belly.
(13:15):
If we won talk show host of the Year or
talk show of the Year and we got invited to
the White House, you'd go right, yeah, going to heartbeat.
I don't care if he's president, going to heart beat.
As a matter of fact, why weren't we invited? We
were voted the number one talk show in the nation
when it comes to Barrett's which is the Golden Bible
(13:36):
for Crozier, I.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Saw that.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
To send you an emoji.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
No, he gave me the crazy look like I'm lying
to people, all right, say it is the Bible, the
Bible of the Internet. Certainly is it is. And we're
voted number one two years in row. And that's syndicated shows,
local shows, big markets, small market, you know, medium market,
(14:07):
and we won two years in a row. And so
if we're I don't know why we weren't invited to
the White House, you know, to go eat.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):

All Right, all right, okay, let's talk about du Pars,

Du Pars might be closing forever.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
My mom loved du Pars, loved it every Sunday after church,
du Pars in the Valley. D Pars was our hang.
Do Pars the best about.
Speaker 11 (20:22):
To dig into the pancakes.
Speaker 13 (20:24):
It's one of the famous items on this menu that's
made this place iconic since nineteen thirty eight, and.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Wow, nineteen thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
You know that there's an unwritten rule of Dupars that
they won't hire you as a waiter or a waitress
unless you're eighty six or eighty seven. You have to
be eighty seven to work there. That's a true story.
That's a true story. They hire all the people who
work there in their eighties. They're all retired. They're all jolly,
(20:55):
they're all funny, they're all very patient.
Speaker 11 (21:01):
Iconic since nineteen thirty eight.
Speaker 13 (21:03):
And as you said, the word closure is not what
the regulars want to hear.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Oh no, we got to keep Dupars open. Hello, hawaya Hello,
how are you?

says she's trying to stay afloat since the pandemic and
now the fire. She says, business at the nearly ninety
year old diner this is cong This.
Speaker 11 (23:02):
Has been around since nineteen.

Thirty, known for its homemade pies and pancakes, has slowed.
Speaker 14 (23:08):
They're pancakes melting your out, and they cook eggs and
butter so they're so gold and flucky.
Speaker 13 (23:16):
But the owner says the increased cost of eggs and
the situation around immigration have hit the business hard.
Speaker 12 (23:23):
We've been together for a long time.
Speaker 13 (23:26):
And the staff, some who've worked here twenty plus years,
are rallying behind their boss.

You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Conways showed lots of reaction on the down the du
Pars story. Oscar came in and said he used to
go to the one in Las Vegas with that shrimp cocktail.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
That's a cool deal.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Forgot about the shrimp cocktail from du Pars. I love
the one and in c Ando. It used to be
a Copper Penny, then it was Due Pars, then it
was Jerry's Deli. I'm not sure what it is now,
but Dupars is a big part of me, of my
life growing up in the valley.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
It's so funny to me hearing all these names, because
the names sound like they're from back in that era.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, it was, yeah, and you know, we used to
go Copper Penny.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, my mom and dad would take us to do
Pars and then we'd drop my mom and some of
the other kids off at home, and my dad and
I would go to Builders in Porium, all right, the
first big huge hardware chain, and we'd pick up I
don't know, stuff for around the house. My dad always
working around the house, and that was a big deal
(26:47):
for us, you know, du Pars and then Builders in
Porium and then maybe at a Top for La Fiesta
for dinner. That was another big restaurant that's no longer around.
What was the taco place that was so great in
the eighties that's not around anymore. Noggles, No Noggles is
another one. Noggles was great. Noggles turned into Del Taco.
(27:08):
They bought all the Noggles and we used to go
to Noggles for lunch at Birmingham High School. We'd skip
out of school and go to Noggles and it was
it's a good call, good call.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
Are you thinking poppin Taco?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Popping Taco is right, yes, Pop and taco nineteen cent tacos,
and my dad would always have to He ordered like
thirty tacos for the family and two without cheese.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yes, who those were ordered for wel cheese. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
God, even at eight or nine, I couldn't handle dairy
did give you problems? Still does really? Oh yeah, yeah.
If I drink a glass of milk, I could. I
could be home quicker than you could drive me home.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I went to a phase like that for about five
or ten years in my like my mid thirties.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
And then I've never had an issue with it since.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
They say the way to get through it is to
just eat nothing but dairy and suffer for three weeks,
then you can blow through that.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
When I first got here and I lived in my
car for about five six months, I was parked my
car a lot of times right in front of in Burbank,
in front of a huge grocery store, and I used
to get a half gallon every day and down it
because it was in a car, so I had to
drink it.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Right, But I remember that huge market.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah, there was another one on cold Water and Ventura,
a huge market there.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah, it was. It was in the same shopping center
as there was a one of those penguin soft ice creams.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, that was my parking lot.
Old school man, old school All right, we're gonna we
have a new tax increase here in Los Angeles that's
going to affect you rely.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Country residents are going to be paying more for goods
starting today, with everything from groceries to close to electronics.
And it comes a little over four months after a
voter approved measure was passed for homeless services and it
went into effect.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
So take a look.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
This is how it breaks down and how it affects consumers.
LA County sales tax officially jumping up in an effort
to fight homelessness after voters approved Measure A in November,
adding a quarter cent sales tax, increasing it from nine
point five to nine point seventy five where it stands
this morning, about sixty percent of the money generated going
towards homelessness services. Thirty six percent will help start a
(29:22):
new housing agency, and the rest.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Great another housing agency, will.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Help start a new housing agency, and the rest to
support prevention and affordable.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Housing programs, and the rest will go to fraud. And
that's where it usually goes, So we're we're going to
pay another tax. We're going to raise another billion for
homeless that is not going to find its way to
homeless people.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Now, this new tax hike will remain in effect until
it's repealed by voters, estimated to generate a billion each year. Meanwhile,
residents here in Manhattan Beach, where voters approved an additional sales.

To effect another tax and where is a Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
Additional sales ten point twenty five percent, expressing some frustration
here this week.
Speaker 11 (30:00):
I think taxes are already super high.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
They are They're way too high.
Speaker 11 (30:05):
And I think it's just we've hit the threshold. We're
over ten percent. I mean, I'll start staying home, I'll
start looking to purchase things elsewhere. It's just poof, it's
a lie.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, I like her comment here. It's just poof. It's
just poof. That's all you can say.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
It's just poof, poof the lie. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You know what the sales tax is in the state
of Oregon. Anybody anybody zero zero, there's not a single
If you get two tacos from Jack in the Box
ninety nine cents, they give you a penny back.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
There is no sales tax in Oregon? How do they
do it?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Where we're up to eleven percent out in the Anlope Valley.
I think it's eleven point two five percent. They pay
in sales tax for everything they buy. When does this stop?
Speaker 6 (30:55):
The La County residents are going to be paying more
for goods starting today, with everything from gross to close

percent of the money generated going towards homelessness services thirty
six percent.

House seats in Florida that were up for grabs, the
Florida House seat number one, seat number six. The results
are in, we'll tell you who won. Did the Republican win,
the Democrat, the libertarian or no party affiliation?

Oh good, we'll have results on that as well. Okay,
that's great, great knowledge. Krozier, he's on top of that.

It's k IF I am sixty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
there's something you're doing in your car right now that
I do all the time, and the cops are looking
for it now.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
So we got to be aware of this. All right.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
You cannot touch your phone while you're driving. You can't
pick it up, you can't shuffle through it, you can't
change your radio station, you can't touch it at all.
That phone is off limits. I do it, I think
all the time. I know belli O does it a lot.
I don't know about Krozier. You do it all Krozier, Oh,
(00:42):
I never do it?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
All right? Do you do it? Does stef fush? Very
very seldom unless I'm working. But you don't touch your
phone while you're driving? No, not unless I'm working? Well,
what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
When I do?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I kind of have to? Okay? So you do do it?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Are you okay? Yeah? Krozier, do you do it? You
touch your phone while you're driving?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I've gotten much better, I have to say it, not
not doing it?
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yeah, yeah, I was guilty of it a couple of times.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I just need to look at this just for quick
sec good. It's pressing, and I've consciously been much better
at it.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, there is no text on there that is worth
an accident. I'll give you that, But angel do you
do it? You seem like you're probably always on your
phone and maybe sometimes you drive.
Speaker 7 (01:26):
Well.
Speaker 8 (01:27):
Sometimes I don't sit there in like text conversations or anything.
But if I've come to a complete stop and I'm
sandwiched in between a couple of cars at either a
red light or seriously traffic that has just stopped because
no lanes are moving anywhere, I might glance at it
to look at the traffic map or something, because I
(01:49):
probably talked about that incident all day and drove right
into it.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
But you don't.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You never drive to sant Anita while making bets on TVG.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
No, Oh I do that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, zip it, zip it pal. But you ever do
this when you're you're driving and you're looking at your
phone and then you almost get into an accident and
you have to stop short and you're.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Like, oh my god, I almost hit this guy. Oh
I'm never going to do that again.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Two miles later back, yeah you're doing it again. Yeah,
it takes about two miles to get right back into it.
But the cops you'll go ahead.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
I was gonna say, don't, don't.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
Does your nose clear after that adrenaline rush from almost crashing?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
No, it's it, It doesn't. I mean you you know
you you put the phone down, You're like, oh, man,
I almost killed myself. I almost killed that guy in
front of me. And then like three miles later, you're like,
what was that tex again? What was going on with
that text on?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
But you're not allowed to touch, which I think is
odd because you know you're I think you're allowed to
eat while you drive. I think you can eat a hamburger,
fries and a co if you can manage that while
you're driving.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I think a lot of people do that.
Speaker 8 (03:03):
You can put on makeup, ask Bellio, oh okay, yeah yeah,
Bellio makes yourself pretty.
Speaker 9 (03:09):
Yeah, at least I make myself pretty.
Speaker 1 (03:11):

how it starts.

California were made for your protection, so please obey them.

The LAPD urges drivers a pull over to a safe
parking spot to make that important phone call.

on and Okay, I get it, I get it. Another
one from Juno the guard at Marshalls. I got that one.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Why do you.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
Have the guard from Marshall's phone number? Why is that?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Good question? Good question? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I think I bought something there at Marshalls and then
I went to take it back.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
And oh, you were like like a shirt, like a
theme shirt or something for a party you were invited
to that you weren't going to ever wear again, or
something like that.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
God do you know me?
Speaker 9 (09:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
It was a Fourth of July party at Kennedy's d
It was a Fourth of July shirt and Fourth of
July pants and I didn't need him anymore. So I
was going to take him back, but the line was
too long, and I still have him.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
So where does the.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Bottom end for you? That's you're sol the wind. Yeah,
that's probably where it is. That's probably where it ends.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Maybe not, but the but the guy Juno is a
is a big fan of the show and KFI, and
so I got to talk to him.
Speaker 9 (10:19):
That's very nice. He was a cool dude.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
They're they're okay. I get that. I get that.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You know why you would think I would run into
some problems where I knew the guard at Marshall's, but
I didn't. He's just a nice guy. I have his
number and he has my nice Yeah, I'm friendly. I
get out there belly owed. You know, I don't sit
in the house all day all cooped up like you
think I do.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I get out there.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Are the Dodgers your favorite baseball team? After not, you
need to change your allegiance to the Dodgers. So if
you're a Mets fan, you're a Pittsburgh Pirates fan no longer.
You're now a Dodger. If you live in LA and
you listen to the station Dodgers or your team, Dodgers
say they'd have accepted an invite from Donald Trump to
visit the White House to celebrate the team's twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Four World Series win.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
The Dodgers made the announcement on social media of keeping
a pretty long tradition of champions meeting the President of
the United States. The team announce it'll visit the White
House on April seventh, which is next Monday, before visiting
the Capitol Hill following day. So the Dodgers, that says,
(11:33):
the Dodgers look forward to visiting the White House and
celebrating our title. According to the team on X, the
team earned its invite to the White House after defeating
the New York Yankees before they're torpedo bats in a
dramatic Game five in October, staging the biggest comeback to
clinch World Series baseball game in a history of the
(11:56):
World Series. You may remember that inning where the Yankees
gave up five unearned runs and the Dodgers came back
to beat the Yankees and won the World Series. There were, however,
questions whether the Dodgers would attend, But that's all been
swept under the rug, and the Dodgers are going to
the White House. Here's a quote from Roberts. It says
(12:19):
it wasn't a formal conversation that we had as a
ball club. It's certainly a huge honor to get the
invitation to visit the White House. It allows us to
celebrate our twenty twenty four championship. To my understanding, every
World Series champion gets that honor, and it's a great
honor for us. So that's cool. Dodgers going to the
(12:40):
White House. And I believe Assay is going, Is that right.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Bellone, Yes, yes, And we will have him live from
the White House on Monday.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh, that's a great book. That's a great booking.
Speaker 9 (12:52):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, I wonder if it'll be like all the other
teams where they visit there's a jersey exchanged and then
they go into a room and there's like nine hundred
you know, Big Max. That's possible. So the Dodgers are
off to see the Wizard. They're wonderful Wizard of Oz
going to the White House to see the Dodgers belly.
(13:15):
If we won talk show host of the Year or
talk show of the Year and we got invited to
the White House, you'd go right, yeah, going to heartbeat.
I don't care if he's president, going to heart beat.
As a matter of fact, why weren't we invited? We
were voted the number one talk show in the nation
when it comes to Barrett's which is the Golden Bible
(13:36):
for Crozier, I.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Saw that.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
To send you an emoji.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
No, he gave me the crazy look like I'm lying
to people, all right, say it is the Bible, the
Bible of the Internet. Certainly is it is. And we're
voted number one two years in row. And that's syndicated shows,
local shows, big markets, small market, you know, medium market,
(14:07):
and we won two years in a row. And so
if we're I don't know why we weren't invited to
the White House, you know, to go eat.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):

My mom loved du Pars, loved it every Sunday after church,
du Pars in the Valley. D Pars was our hang.
Do Pars the best about.
Speaker 11 (20:22):
To dig into the pancakes.
Speaker 13 (20:24):
It's one of the famous items on this menu that's
made this place iconic since nineteen thirty eight, and.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Wow, nineteen thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
You know that there's an unwritten rule of Dupars that
they won't hire you as a waiter or a waitress
unless you're eighty six or eighty seven. You have to
be eighty seven to work there. That's a true story.
That's a true story. They hire all the people who
work there in their eighties. They're all retired. They're all jolly,
(20:55):
they're all funny, they're all very patient.
Speaker 11 (21:01):
Iconic since nineteen thirty eight.
Speaker 13 (21:03):
And as you said, the word closure is not what
the regulars want to hear.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Oh no, we got to keep Dupars open. Hello, hawaya Hello,

Drunk guy one night on Halloween and he said I
would give it my first born for some of Dupar's pancakes.
But really he had to go home because he had
work in like two hours.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Angel, you've been to du Pars.
Speaker 8 (22:26):

It was the best.
Speaker 12 (22:38):
You can't hardly find a restaurant like this anymore.

their own home style restaurant.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
We'll be back.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Thank you so much. Welcome.
Speaker 11 (22:49):
That's if the place stays open.

says she's trying to stay afloat since the pandemic and
now the fire. She says, business at the nearly ninety
year old diner this is cong This.
Speaker 11 (23:02):
Has been around since nineteen.
Speaker 13 (23:04):
Thirty, known for its homemade pies and pancakes, has slowed.
Speaker 14 (23:08):
They're pancakes melting your out, and they cook eggs and
butter so they're so gold and flucky.
Speaker 13 (23:16):
But the owner says the increased cost of eggs and
the situation around immigration have hit the business hard.
Speaker 12 (23:23):
We've been together for a long time.
Speaker 13 (23:26):
And the staff, some who've worked here twenty plus years,
are rallying behind their boss.

That's a cool deal.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Forgot about the shrimp cocktail from du Pars. I love
the one and in c Ando. It used to be
a Copper Penny, then it was Due Pars, then it
was Jerry's Deli. I'm not sure what it is now,
but Dupars is a big part of me, of my
life growing up in the valley.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
It's so funny to me hearing all these names, because
the names sound like they're from back in that era.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, it was, yeah, and you know, we used to
go Copper Penny.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, my mom and dad would take us to do
Pars and then we'd drop my mom and some of
the other kids off at home, and my dad and
I would go to Builders in Porium, all right, the
first big huge hardware chain, and we'd pick up I
don't know, stuff for around the house. My dad always
working around the house, and that was a big deal
(26:47):
for us, you know, du Pars and then Builders in
Porium and then maybe at a Top for La Fiesta
for dinner. That was another big restaurant that's no longer around.
What was the taco place that was so great in
the eighties that's not around anymore. Noggles, No Noggles is
another one. Noggles was great. Noggles turned into Del Taco.
(27:08):
They bought all the Noggles and we used to go
to Noggles for lunch at Birmingham High School. We'd skip
out of school and go to Noggles and it was
it's a good call, good call.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
Are you thinking poppin Taco?

did give you problems? Still does really? Oh yeah, yeah.
If I drink a glass of milk, I could. I
could be home quicker than you could drive me home.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I went to a phase like that for about five
or ten years in my like my mid thirties.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
And then I've never had an issue with it since.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
They say the way to get through it is to
just eat nothing but dairy and suffer for three weeks,
then you can blow through that.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
When I first got here and I lived in my
car for about five six months, I was parked my
car a lot of times right in front of in Burbank,
in front of a huge grocery store, and I used
to get a half gallon every day and down it
because it was in a car, so I had to
drink it.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Right, But I remember that huge market.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah, there was another one on cold Water and Ventura,
a huge market there.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah, it was. It was in the same shopping center
as there was a one of those penguin soft ice creams.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, that was my parking lot.
Old school man, old school All right, we're gonna we
have a new tax increase here in Los Angeles that's
going to affect you rely.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Country residents are going to be paying more for goods
starting today, with everything from groceries to close to electronics.
And it comes a little over four months after a
voter approved measure was passed for homeless services and it
went into effect.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
So take a look.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
This is how it breaks down and how it affects consumers.
LA County sales tax officially jumping up in an effort
to fight homelessness after voters approved Measure A in November,
adding a quarter cent sales tax, increasing it from nine
point five to nine point seventy five where it stands
this morning, about sixty percent of the money generated going
towards homelessness services. Thirty six percent will help start a
(29:22):
new housing agency, and the rest.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Great another housing agency, will.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Help start a new housing agency, and the rest to
support prevention and affordable.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Housing programs, and the rest will go to fraud. And
that's where it usually goes, So we're we're going to
pay another tax. We're going to raise another billion for
homeless that is not going to find its way to
homeless people.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Now, this new tax hike will remain in effect until
it's repealed by voters, estimated to generate a billion each year. Meanwhile,
residents here in Manhattan Beach, where voters approved an additional sales.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
To effect another tax and where is a Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
Additional sales ten point twenty five percent, expressing some frustration
here this week.
Speaker 11 (30:00):
I think taxes are already super high.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
They are They're way too high.
Speaker 11 (30:05):
And I think it's just we've hit the threshold. We're
over ten percent. I mean, I'll start staying home, I'll
start looking to purchase things elsewhere. It's just poof, it's
a lie.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah, I like her comment here. It's just poof. It's
just poof. That's all you can say.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
It's just poof, poof the lie. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You know what the sales tax is in the state
of Oregon. Anybody anybody zero zero, there's not a single
If you get two tacos from Jack in the Box
ninety nine cents, they give you a penny back.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
There is no sales tax in Oregon? How do they
do it?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Where we're up to eleven percent out in the Anlope Valley.
I think it's eleven point two five percent. They pay
in sales tax for everything they buy. When does this stop?
Speaker 6 (30:55):
The La County residents are going to be paying more
for goods starting today, with everything from gross to close
to electronics. And it comes a little over four months
after a voter approved measure was passed for homeless services
and it went into effect overnight.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
So take a look.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
This is how it breaks down and how it affects consumers.
La County sales tax officially jumping up in an effort
to fight homelessness after voters approved measures.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
How many times have we heard that before? Sales tax
increased the fight homelessness.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
Officially jumping up in an effort to fight homelessness after
voters approved Measure A in November, adding a quarter cent
sales tax, increasing it from nine point five to nine
point seventy five. Where it stands this morning, about sixty
percent of the money generated going towards homelessness services thirty
six percent.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Well, it's a nightmare, all right.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
When we come back, I don't know if you're following
the elections. But there were two elections in Florida. Two
House seats in Florida that were up for grabs, the
Florida House seat number one, seat number six. The results
are in, we'll tell you who won. Did the Republican win,
the Democrat, the libertarian or no party affiliation?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
And the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is finishing up in
two minutes.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Oh good, we'll have results on that as well. Okay,
that's great, great knowledge. Krozier, he's on top of that.
No election results yet for Wisconsin. That comes in in
a minute and a half. But we do have Florida
election results. For people who are following that stuff very closely.
We will have it for you when we come back.
