Dodgers World Series hero shortstop Miguel Rojas joins Tim Conway Jr. for an inside look at the team, plus the now-legendary Conway “Miggy Hug” — all three seconds of it.
Petros Papadakis jumps in with background and stories about Miguel Rojas, then the conversation takes a turn into pop culture nostalgia — from Lupin the 3rd to Kimba the White Lion — as L.A. remains on tactical alert amid ongoing protests.
Petros and Conway go full throwback, talking TV shows from our youth like Speed Racer, plus random memories, food talk, and classic Conway chaos.
More with Petros to close the hour, including the latest updates on the protests and what’s happening across Los Angeles.

another room, and then I want to come back and
then talk to you about But Miguel Rojas, the Dodger hero,
Venezuelan superstar, baseball royalty and a god here and beyond,
and obviously the guy that hit the home run that
made it all happen in Game seven and the two
(00:36):
miraculous defensive plays in Game six. We just did an
hour upstairs. Good wis sponsorships, Aporo and Verizon in that Wow.
Never don't drug dial.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You want to hear you want to hear the home

Speaker 3 (00:50):

Miguel roll us, how are you, sir?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Everything? Thank you, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
You are my favorite human being. I'm including my dad,
my daughter, my wife. They're all second now to you.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
That's an honor, an honor to me. Thank you very much, buddy.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I don't think you have any idea. Maybe you do
now that you've been, you know, traveling around for the
last couple of months, but I don't think you have
any idea how much that meant to me and lifelong
Dodger fans. I grew up here in la I was
born in nineteen sixty three. My first game was nineteen
sixty nine, well well before you were born. Yeah, And
and I lived through some pretty lean years with the Dodgers.
(01:36):
You know, it was eighty one and eighty eight that
they won the World Series, and then really nothing up
until you know, the the late twenty twenties or so.
But to watch that game, look, I got so nervous
watching that game. I had to leave the house and
drive to Valencia and listen to Rick Monday on the
air and listen to it because I was too nervous
(01:56):
watching it. I got back in time to watch you
hit that home run, and I was streaming. I lost
my voice for a couple of days. It was the
most exciting moment of my life.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
That's that's really crazy.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
To uh, to kind of put everything on context because uh,
that's what I've been getting from a lot of people.
And I didn't do that to like cause all the
elphoria from from people and and it's kind of like
what you do as a baseball player, you kind of
like entertain every single night. But to do it on
that stage and to be able to to have that
(02:31):
opportunity and that moment for me in Game seven made
me think that, I mean, I was meant to to
do that, you know, for the for the team and
for the organization. I just feel like I'm so blessed
that that I was part of the of the Dodgers
in that moment. And for me to come up in
that situation and do my job and kind of do
something that that gave the opportunity to win is what
(02:54):
I'm gonna remember about.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And your wife said that you were going to hit
a home run and she said that before. Was that
the first time?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
No, he she She's been saying that ever since I
was in I wasn't playing on the NLCS against the Brewers.
I didn't play one game or or I got one
at bat, and I continue to come home kind of like, yeah,
I'm excited because we're winning those games and we, uh,
we are really close to go to the War Series again.
But I'm kind of like, I want to contribute. I
want to be part of it. I I wanna get
(03:22):
at a bat, I want to play some defense. I
want to do something that that it helps the team
to get there. Sure, and she continued to tell me,
just just realize, continue to work hard and be prepared
because your opportunity is gonna come and you're gonna hit
a home run. You're gonna you're gonna do something big.
You're gonna hit a big home run that it's gonna
it's gonna you're gonna have your moment. And I continue
(03:43):
to say, yeah, whatever, I mean, how how are gonna
get that if I'm not even playing? But uh, I
put my mind into that, I put my money into
continue to work every single day, prepare for my chance,
for my opportunity and make my chance came on Game six,
and I'm really proud of the way that I play
Game six, the energy that I injected to the team
(04:05):
because of we needed at that time, and we won't
gain six and everything that happened against Aven was a
result of everything.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The game six where you had the last out on
second base and you caught that ball then you fell over.
You seem like a kid like you were in third grade,
you know, living that moment as a child. You seem
like the happiest you've ever been in your life.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
I mean, that was one of the best moments of
my career. I don't usually react like that when a
play happens, but I feel like that was the momentum
that we.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Needed for next day and to turn the series around.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
And even though we still have to play another game,
I feel like with that play, with that moment, we
shifted the moment in our side. So yeah, I mean
I was so excited to be able to play on
that game and knowing that we won that game and
I was going to be able to play game seven,
that was That was something that I will remember forever.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
How do you go to Miguel Rohas was with us
from the Los Angeles Dodgers, how do you go to
bed after that game game six where you make the
last play, uh and you know, the last out at
second base and go to sleep and get prepared for
game seven.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah. I couldn't go to sleep until five. I am
in the morning.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
First, because uh, at the excitement the text messages the
people who I who loved me and who I love
a lot, reaching out to me and and telling me
how proud they were of the way that I play
and all that, and like congratulating me and giving me
the best buy for next day. And then another thing
was like I got an inter coastal strain after the play.
(05:43):
Kik gave me like a big hug and kind of
like pulled me up and kind of make me, make
me strain my my peg a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
And so I had a kind.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Of situation on my side going going to bed that
night and I have to take a lot of medicine
to be ready for game seven. Yeah, to answer your question,
I didn't go to sleep until the song was out.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
So you got to bed at five o'clock. And then
what time you wake up noon? Around eleven eleven o'clock. Yeah,
And did you know you were playing that night in
game seven?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Definitely I knew what was gonna be in the lineup.
It was where I was good to play or not
because of the discomfort that I have, but I promised
to myself that I wasn't gonna get the out of
the lineup in Game seven, and I was gonna do
anything possible to be to be okay to play Game seven,
(06:33):
and I am happy that I did. And I'm happy
for all our coaches and the train staff and and
the training the trainers that helped me get through it
so I can play in Game seven without a pain.
But I still have to get out of the game
in DA eleven inning because he was hurting so bad.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
So when you hit the home run, the Dodgers going
to Dodgers and Blue Jay, you going too extra innings
and then you saved the game. Again, we're throwing it
to get to get the guy out from third, but
if that ball is three feet to your right or
three feet to your left, the game's over.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Uh those are those are the things that were always
going to talk about for for the rest of our life, because,
uh double was tough, because just because of the turf
in in Canada, I felt like I didn't play the
ball the right way.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I misread it.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
I went back to it and I planted my feet
and I am glad that the guy at third base
didn't have a really good lead and I was able
to get the throwing time to the play and then
when you rewatch the replay, you see the foot of
Willi Smith coming off the play and then coming back
down just in time to get that out. And I
(07:44):
feel like that's something that's going to be there forever
to kind of rewatch and go go go after it
and a really special moment. And I think that play,
for me, it was way more important than hitting the
home run, because that was adu I play sure like
if I if I get out and da da bad
that I didn't hit a homer, we still have a
(08:05):
chat with we show her, But I mean with the
backs against the wall door the play, I think that
play was really important.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And when when uh, when that that happens, you know,
you you hit the home run and and you you know,
then you guys go on to win the game. I
can't imagine what that was like afterwards, the party, the
plane ride home, the parade, you know, the fans, you know,
coming out. That's gotta be a feeling that that you
can't get outside of professional sports.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Like, yeah, it's it's a dream.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
I feel like you you continue to feel like you're dreaming,
because that's something that it takes a little while for
you to kind of understand that that happened and you're
gonna become and your life is gonna turn around like
a three sixty because I mean from being around in
the streets and being recognized maybe once or twice and
(08:57):
during the year, is now every knows your name. Everybody
knows who you are, they know your face. And it's
not just locally in LA, it's global is everybody knows
because everybody was watching more than I don't know how
many million people were watching the game, and that kind
of make you life kind of torn around and go
(09:19):
in a different direction.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
But I'm so I'm so happy.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
It's been overwhelming for me because I never seek for
this much attention throughout throughout my life and during my.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Whole If you don't want, that's right way to do it.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
But I love it and I'm not gonna walk away
from it because that's something that I always ask for.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I wanted to have a moment like that.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
I think I deserve a moment like that because of
my career, and I feel like that happened to me
and now I need to be kind of proud of
the way that that it happened and I did it
and I'm I'm just happy that I did it for
the city and especially here.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
When and then you find out a few days later
that the Dodgers have signed you for a five and
a half million dollars, that is the sign of a
real classy organization.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yeah, definitely, especially not needing to do a move like that,
but they were in contact right away. They want me
to stay with the team, and knowing that it was
going to be my last year as a player, tiding
that up with my opportunity to starting the coaching role
or kind of my assistant to the front office role
(10:30):
or player development the next year after that, that was
really important to me and they were open to do
it for me and with me. So I'm really excited
to what is coming next and looking forward to prepare
for a three.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
P Everybody in the organization talks about you becoming the
eventual manager of that team.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Well, that's the goal, but I think everybody. I think
Dave Roverts is doing an amazing Once he moves on,
I don't know when that's gonna be, but he deserves,
he deserved to be on that late for a long time.
And uh, I mean, if it's if it's with this organization.
I'll be really happy if if if it's not a manager,
I would I would like to be a part of
(11:11):
the team and.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Continue to help well forever.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Yeah, continue to be helping, helping Dog and the front
office and the ownership to accomplish what they want, which
is winning more championships. And hopefully I can help my
teammates now uh soon to be my my, my guys
that are gonna teach something, and I'm gonna help them
to continue to get better.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
But I'm really excited about that opportunity.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
My guess is that the first time you come off
the bad next season, you get a standing ovation, and
the second and the third, and every game and every
time you come a bad standing ovation for that home run.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I don't want to set my standards and my expectations high,
but I just want to walk to the play and
see how it feels like. And that's why I didn't think.
I didn't think another on a other organization. I just
want to walk to a play at Dollyer Stadium on
opening day or whatever it is my first about and
see the reaction of the fence.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I asked Michael Krozer, who is the news anchor here
and one of the guys on the show, I said,
how long could I hug Mickey Rojas without it being weird?
And he said three minutes.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Okay, let's do it three minutes after the interview freaking hot.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
But I really, I seriously, that was the greatest sports
moment of my life. I'm a big Kings fan. I've
seen the Kings win two Stanley Cups. I've seen the Dodgers.
I've seen Kirk Gibson hit the home run. I've seen
the Lakers, you know, with Kobe Bryant and back with
Magic Johnson. But I've never gotten so excited in my
life that when you hit that home run, it means
it is the number one moment in my life.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
It means a lot to me. And I want to
say thank you, approve.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
For really for really give me the moment and obviously
hearing this is really important to me.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
And I'm gonna take this for forever.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I know you got you got to add a long
interview so and you got to get up back to
your family. But I can't thank you enough. Good luck
next here and when you become the man or of
the manager of the Dodgers, I hope you come back and.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I'll see you here whenever.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I all right, thank you, sir, I appreciate it, all right,
MIGGI Rohans, what man this guy is?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Uh, Pat Tross, whether it's.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
How you buye? I'm a little disappointed.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh why is that?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Just?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
In generally?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well, yeah, overall underwhelmed, but.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Uh by time of malaise.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
We just did an hour with that guy upstairs with
a bunch of Dodger types and sponsors, and I knew
one segment, like as I knew he was gonna come
down here and you were going to have him on,
and I could have kept him for three hours. Oh
you could have. I mean I didn't want to do
that to him, though. When he came out, he looked
at me and said, you got a towel? I know, well,
(14:06):
the air conditioning in here is on the fridge. But
he I knew about like three one question and when
he started talking, I was like, this guy's too good
of an interview for Conway to mess it up. That's right,
That's what I like, I'd like to see, like a
real idiot athlete get in here, we'd like.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
So dig dum when you hit that ball? What did you.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Think the toughest one. The toughest athlete to interview on
the show was stupid Greek X tailback Iron Mike Tyson.
Oh yeah, yeah, well that's like pulling teeth. Yeah, well
that's riding the bull literally.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I mean you ever see that one in Canada where
the guy's like, yeah, didn't you get charged for rape?
But I was like, oh, my god's gonna punch that
guy's head off. Yeah, and he and he goes, what
there for you talking about? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
He went hard on that. Yeah that's what you are.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, I'll take you outside and beat you to death.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
So anyway, yeah, I knew that the interview was going
to be good. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That bothered me because I wanted you to want Yeah,
well it was gross. I mean it was a real public.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Buddy, Slo, I have been in this building sixteen years,
you a little longer, and I've never seen the reaction
of the people who work here, secretary's assistants, you know it,
guys all lining up to take a picture with Miguel Rojas.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, I mean we're talking about legitimate baseball history. Talk
about it in one hundred years type.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
He was incredibly humbly impressive. Yeah, you know, he just
seems like a really.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well his uh, his whole story is that of hard work,
being a great fielder, being a utility guy, getting in
where you fit in on a team, being a leader
without being you know, a forty home run per year
type of writer.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
But I wish I had him longer. I meant to
bring him back. No, he could have, but I didn't
want to do it to him. But you know, he
was he was a backup utility player for the Reds
and he never thought he'd make the major League.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
No, he ended up with the Dodgers. He actually we
talked about it.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
He was he's the greatest Dodger in the history of
the organization.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
No, no, that's not that's true.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
But back in I think twenty twelve, he was on
the Dodgers and he made a huge play to preserve
Clayton Kershaw's no hitter, which is a very legendary thing
and kind of made Dodger fans aware of him.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Right, not like piz which is like, oh maybe I'll try,
maybe I won't that.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
What does that have to do with anything.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You should ask him if he thought if he thought
Pa has killed Kik in the moment, like in the moment,
did you think he killed them? Because it looked like
he kind of looked like wasn't going to get up
for kid. But no, it was very special and he
will be. The guy's a hard working Venezuelan guy who's
worked really hard, obviously at learning the language and not
only learning the language, but trying to convey and express himself.
(16:52):
And it's really impressive. I mean, I don't think any
of us would be able to do that in any
other language, even though this is what we do for
a living. So that's really impressive. And he wants to
manage and he wants to be He's gonna manage the Dodger.
I think that's what we're kind of looking at. This
guy seems to be. I mean, it does feel like
a kind of a destiny stars aligned type of thing.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And he's a great motivator too. You know, he motivated
me to him in today.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Motivated Mookie Betts to play shortstop so excellently gold Luck
Glove level shortstop.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
What a moment for you conboy, I hugged you. He
hugged you like an animal like. It was a fairal hug.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Like like he was trying to tie me up a rodeo.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah, hot time.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
You didn't even get into the break what you were
doing your outro before you even introduced me. I watched
him watch Amiggy get up and go around the console.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Well, and he was waiting to hug you.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You told him it was the best moment in the
history of your life, and so he's probably like, I
better give this st He's probably.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It was the most exciting moment of my life. And
I've won some slot machines that have paid off pretty nice.
Super fecto and that's nothing like that home run. Nothing, nothing,
not even close. Kirk Gibson got closed.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
It was a shared experience in the city. And you
think about the Dodgers team. You know, this guy's from Venezuela.
They got a Korean guy, you got three Japanese guys.
You got hay seeds like Kershaw and Max Munsey out
of Texas.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Uh, you got really really white guys to super white.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, you know, like uh like glass now from Santa
Clarita had an awesome town and they're all.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I mean, you have to think about it.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I mean, if you're inside that clubhouse, Shoel tanis sitting
there in his underwear or whatever, and you're like, hey, there,
he is the best baseball player that ever played. And
the fact that this guy, who is obviously uber skilled
and a generational player from his country and all that
such a big impact on such a special team. There's
no way that the Dodgers went back to back World
(18:52):
Series without that guy. So that's very special. I'm glad
that you hugged him like a Koala bear.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
The cavalry is on its way. What is that being
l a PD with about fifty cars?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Where are they fighting it out? Because I got to drive.
Speaker 2 (19:05):

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Right way over the top. Yeah, and you know what
he was giving a stage when he was on an
actual cartoon.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
The other part about speed Racer, I mean we're talking
about real death.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
That's why they don't show it anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah, these guys go off the cliff, they're gonna die.
Like he's racing for his life. I mean, it's like
Death Race two thousand run. And then you think he's
got sprital Or and the and the monkey and they're.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Waiting the tricks. He's in there doing them make up
in the mirror. I mean there's a lot of risk
there for spend and Why would Pops let him do that.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Pops was always smoking a cigarette two And we never
found out the Racer X was his brother until later on.
That was a big deal.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Yeah, big mystery it was.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
It was a big mystery, but they don't show that anymore.
Remember the Mammoth car episode of Speed Racer. It was
built out of gold and they were trying to transport
illegally gold from Central America or you know, to America
or whatever. And it was all built out of gold,
and so when it got in a car wreck, they'd
come out and paint it real quick because they didn't
want people to know. Oh yeah, I remember that it's
all built out of goal.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
It was a great So there is one great Japanese
cartoon that like it's good in English dub and it's old,
like it's been going on for like thirty years. It's
called Loupon the Third. And if you like Speed Racer,
I love speed, you'll love Loupon the Third. L U
p I npon loopen Loupon the third. Like the it's
got like a song, play the Loupon the Third song.
Foosh if you're not have sandwiches, fush ate like a
(23:31):
like literally literally like if there was like think of
a checkerboard. This like two yards long of sandwiches. Foush
eight at least four during the Rojas interview, and I
was like, when's he going to take a break?
Speaker 6 (23:47):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
We were wondering where the hell he was because he
would put us on the air and then be gone,
and he was upstairs inhaling sandwiches. There was this is
on nip Nippon.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, play the theme for loupon the third l u
p I an, Yeah, here we go. Look, yeah, look, listen,
let's do it. Hears this. I know he wears a suit,
he's a beef.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
He hangs out with one guy that's got a great guns,
a great shot, but he hangs out with another guy.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It's like a samurai and a hot check Manuccio Mine,
this is great. Fuccio could breastfeed all of hoo.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Was this on VHS?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
I used to watch it late night TV.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You know what came on right after a speed Racer
was Kim but the White Lion, who's the king of
all of very strong No, no, I don't know. Kim
By the White Lion is the one. And it was
this crazy white Lion they'll go out and and solve
all the problems in uh in Africa. Probably couldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I'm gonna check why. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
I'm know the white lion savior and yeah, you don't
want that. The probably can't do that, all right, Petrose
is with us. That's what the white Yeah, that's what
you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
There's a few white saviors down in a downtown protesting
right now.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
And the cops have two lines set up right now
where they can't cross. But let's go to channel seven steps.
I know that they just.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Dallas man, he looks like the cripkeeper. Dallas is the
best best weather guy. Oh Channel four, okay, all right,
here we go Channel see.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I used to work there.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
His concerns about this very thing what we're seeing right now.
L a p D having to manage a large crowd
control type situation where some of the people in the
crowd are doing things to try.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
To humor on the sederal agents.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Maybe it'll be l a p D officers later hanging
out with Don Delay. He's worried about that.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
That's my second favorite moment of one particular Erk Leonnard
doing this report.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Projectile.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
It's lack of a better word, it's maybe golf ball size,
a little bit bigger, and.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
It's designed to knock the wind out of you or
knock you over.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
And if you lack supposed to use that when somebody
is threatening them, when there's a physical confrontation. But what
the judge fact is going to blow up can swallow Marshall,
one of the U. S District Court judges was that
officers very recently had been using those just to inflict
pain on people who were otherwise doing constitutionally protected protesting
(26:26):
in the street with a size sound.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Like you're on the side of the the guys that
got shot in the Sternham with the foam ball managed
especially as we see this is going to blow off
the spot.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I've seen the fact over and over and over.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Well, is there a federal agency that could perhaps come
in and assist that's.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Going to happen? You know what, Trump's going to see
this on TV and bring in those federal troops again.
You know he's gonna say that you know they needed
them here. The first who really suffers when there's trouble
like this downtown me why you know you have to
do this story. Michael monks. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Taken out on the weymos.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
The weaymos are like the like like the women in
Russian during you know, when Stalin was starving and everybody
out and the women had nothing to cook and everybody's dying.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
That's a waymos stands.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Weymo's just out there dying, you know, burning and looting
and dying out there when there's these these this unwrapped.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And these poor weymos didn't do anything to anybody. Have
you been in a weimo? No? I haven't either. I
gotta get in a way.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I would wonder who gets in the wing, Like, who's
the guy that's like, hey, uh, we need to get
over the seventh and figure roll.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Let's call a weymo. Who gets in the weymouth?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Right? Who does? All?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Patros is with us. We're watching Downtown LA.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
It's the live you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
There's some mischief makers going on downtown LA.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
But they're doing a wise anchors out there. Tim.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
They're doing something that I've not seen in a long time.
They're using the RTD buses better known I guess as
MTA now as barriers.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
It reminds me of the makeshift wall built by the
students in the revolution in Lama's Rob. Yes, that's exactly
what I was going to say, one more day till Revolution,
you know, speaking of uh Leman's Rob. I took my
mom to see Leman's. No, I took her to see
the Phanom of the Opera.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
It's a different writers.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
She fell asleep and at halftime, which like Bellio says,
they don't call its intermission intermission.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I wake her up.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Nobody blows a whistle like they don't put a clock
on the wall. I wake her up, and she grabs
her coat and she goes, oh that was great.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
We left, and I didn't tell her it wasn't over.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
We're going to dropped the chandelier.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
We had no idea who the phantom was.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
We pops out later. Yes, so we left at said
Michael Crawford. Yeah, it was Michael left Crawford at halftime.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
We split because I was not into it.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
My mom thought it was overcause you know who wrote
the Phantom of the Opera not to play the book?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
No Gastel is that right, French writer?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
And you know what. He was a newspaper man, much
like you, and he uh he wrote about the opera
and there was like some shady stuff in the bowels
of the opera, you know, like different stories and tales,
and that's how he came up with the fanom of
the opera.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You know who wrote Lamas rob.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
No, come on, I don't one of the great plot
writers in the history of literature. Oh Jim Murray close,
the guy that wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Also
Victor Hugo. Okay, Victor Hugo, Okay close, Not Jim Murray, buddy.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I love the fact that you, uh that your mom
and dad, you know, culture was a big important when
you're you're growing up, you know, teaching about plays and
arts and stuff like that. And you also had the
cop stop by and arrest.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
You guys a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
We are polymaths. Yeah, it was the Ying and Yang
of Sam Pedro.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, Rancha palas Verdi, Oh Ranchal palas Verdi. That's where
my father's house is. Yeah, Okay, your.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Dad playing anywhere soon? I love one.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
He's uh, he's slowed down a bit, but maybe he's
gonna hit the stage again. Okay, some guy to do
something on Monday. And how old your dad?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Now?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
He's in seventy six, seventy six, Okay, he's in good,
but he's an ex football player, seventy six. He's a
little beat up, but he's doing all right. Has there
ever been in are you still feeling the buzz from
your Mickey Ross interview?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Has there ever been an NFL player that lived one
hundred years to see one hundred that's a great trivia question.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, probably not.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I bet there's gotta be fran Tarkan, tim Me, somebody
who like played in eighteen ninety, Art Donovan made it
to nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I don't know, No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Eighteen ninety like, Okay, there is. I will tell you
a funny story because it's racially involved. There was a
guy in Iowa State and the stadium is named after him,
named Jack Trice. Jack Trice was a black guy way
back turn of the century type of stuff, last century,
playing for the Cyclones and in his very first game
(30:51):
ever I think it was against Minnesota, he died got killed.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
In a scrub ye on the game, in the game,
in the game, okay.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
They killed him. Basically the Minnesota football team.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Wiped him out, killed him right during the game, which
you just don't see today, you know, you just don't
race Vendeta against his player, and they killed him.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
He died, They killed him, and it was forever.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
And he wrote a special letter the night before the
game about how nervous he was, and now that letter
is famous in the Iowa state. Their stadium is named
Jack Trice Stadium. They had the Jack Trice Game, all
this stuff and thought, I mean, it's a fascinating story.
And no one really knows if he was killed because
he was black, but you know, I was the only
black guy out there. But then you look and say, like, okay,
(31:37):
what year was that. It was like eighteen something. It's like, oh,
twenty guys died that year playing college football, right, yeah,
it was like before they change the rules, and I
mean there used to be pretty gnarly out there. In fact,
when Army Navy plays every year for like one hundred years, right,
it's a great game.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
It's a great game.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I think it was one of the presidents postponed it
for like four years, and Theodore Roosevelt had to bring
it back because after Army Navy once a Navy general
tried to get into a duel with a Navy admiral,
like right in the street. They were pissed about the game,
and the president, I think it was Grover Cleveland, was like, hey,
(32:17):
we can't have this, we can't play this game. So
they stopped playing it for four years.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, then they brought it. But who is the guy
Jeddy Roosevelt thought the rough Rider brought it up. It's
a big guy deal. When a guy dies? Was it
Hamlin with the Buffalo?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Mr Hamblin? He died for a moment and then was revived.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
But they canceled that game when he died.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
They did, yeah, they yeah, they didn't stop playing.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
They didn't play the rest of the game.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
That was a big deal. When a guy dies. Yeah,
well now it is.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, but he came back and now and then he
still plays, is it he?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
You know, it's even a bummer now when a guy
like gets just carted off when they take his face
mask off and his arms are wrapped around his chest
and then we come back on TV.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
They're like, all right, second out of ay, this one's.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Brought to you boy, but light and then with his
hands all crink.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Oh yeah, concussion hands.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Oh man, that's the worst. It's all Rocky four. And
then they go right back to the game.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Well, you know, you know in real life in football,
when somebody gets hurt in practice because everything's timed and
some guys.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Like laid out, you know what they do, No move
the drill, no way the drill.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
They moved to the outside of the field.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
They moved to the other side of the field, they
moved the cameras, and that guy just lays there alone.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Oh my god. Well, you know what the with the trainers.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I heard the Detroit Lions go full on tackle and
gear every practice and that's why they have a lot
of injuries.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I promise you that's not true.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (33:36):
But you know that is one funny thing about football.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
I heard those It's like you had the baseball player
on today and they play you know, one D and
sixty two games like they play that's what they do.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
They play all spring training. They just play baseball.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Basketball players like when they're not playing during the season,
they're playing pickup games. They're constantly honing their skill. Football
is the only sport where the players hate playing like really, well, yeah,
the players are like, wait, what, I've never seen a
bigger party in my life than when I was at
USC And they'd be like, hey, guys, we're just wearing
(34:11):
helmets today. I mean, you might as well tell everybody
they just want a million dollars?
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Is that right? Yeah? And it's this.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Do they like playing on Sundays? No? And the pros? No,
it hurts really No, Like they don't like playing in
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
No, it hurts to put all that stuff on and
get all tucked in and get bunked around.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
You know, you've made a great comment last time you
were on where you said you get the most injuries
from the ground.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
The ground hurts anybody, and.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
When you play in four below, that's got to really sting.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
But a lot of these modern stadiums have heating under
the field, so the field's not the field doesn't freeze,
and we don't have.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Astro turf anymore.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Wait, that's astro turf used to freeze. Wait no, so
what's the the service they feel?
Speaker 3 (34:56):
It's like what your neighbor has. You're like, Wow, that
guy's got a great law.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
And then you get them you're like, oh my god,
it's a bio has oh fake, Yeah, it's that stuff.
And if it's not done with the trumple tires, right,
and then they examboni.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yet why do they put the crumpled tires in.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
There to make it rubbery and bouncy?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Little tiny bits they fly around?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, they fly into your eyes and they're fill your
shoes and all that different stuff.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
I guess it's it's better than astro turf that I
played on.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Is there anything to the rumor that the San Francisco
forty nine ers played to their their practice facilities too
close to a substation and all that?
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Like, yeah, but what I don't understand is, like, what's
wrong with the substation? What are sandwiches doing to these guys?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
They they're blaming the electricity for all the oh not
a oh.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Too many sandwich?
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Can you say you got to run?
Speaker 3 (35:44):
I could do one more? Okay? All right?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Petros is with us. We're watching downtown LA. There's a
thousand cops down there. They brought in buses. They're trying
to keep the people on the off the freeway, and
it looks like it's gonna be a long night in

another room, and then I want to come back and
then talk to you about But Miguel Rojas, the Dodger hero,
Venezuelan superstar, baseball royalty and a god here and beyond,
and obviously the guy that hit the home run that
made it all happen in Game seven and the two
(00:36):
miraculous defensive plays in Game six. We just did an
hour upstairs. Good wis sponsorships, Aporo and Verizon in that Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Everything? Thank you, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
You are my favorite human being. I'm including my dad,
my daughter, my wife. They're all second now to you.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
That's an honor, an honor to me. Thank you very much, buddy.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I don't think you have any idea. Maybe you do
now that you've been, you know, traveling around for the
last couple of months, but I don't think you have
any idea how much that meant to me and lifelong
Dodger fans. I grew up here in la I was
born in nineteen sixty three. My first game was nineteen
sixty nine, well well before you were born. Yeah, And
and I lived through some pretty lean years with the Dodgers.
(01:36):
You know, it was eighty one and eighty eight that
they won the World Series, and then really nothing up
until you know, the the late twenty twenties or so.
But to watch that game, look, I got so nervous
watching that game. I had to leave the house and
drive to Valencia and listen to Rick Monday on the
air and listen to it because I was too nervous
(01:56):
watching it. I got back in time to watch you
hit that home run, and I was streaming. I lost
my voice for a couple of days. It was the
most exciting moment of my life.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
That's that's really crazy.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
To uh, to kind of put everything on context because uh,
that's what I've been getting from a lot of people.
And I didn't do that to like cause all the
elphoria from from people and and it's kind of like
what you do as a baseball player, you kind of
like entertain every single night. But to do it on
that stage and to be able to to have that
(02:31):
opportunity and that moment for me in Game seven made
me think that, I mean, I was meant to to
do that, you know, for the for the team and
for the organization. I just feel like I'm so blessed
that that I was part of the of the Dodgers
in that moment. And for me to come up in
that situation and do my job and kind of do
something that that gave the opportunity to win is what
(02:54):
I'm gonna remember about.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And your wife said that you were going to hit
a home run and she said that before. Was that
the first time?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
No, he she She's been saying that ever since I
was in I wasn't playing on the NLCS against the Brewers.
I didn't play one game or or I got one
at bat, and I continue to come home kind of like, yeah,
I'm excited because we're winning those games and we, uh,
we are really close to go to the War Series again.
But I'm kind of like, I want to contribute. I
want to be part of it. I I wanna get
(03:22):
at a bat, I want to play some defense. I
want to do something that that it helps the team
to get there. Sure, and she continued to tell me,
just just realize, continue to work hard and be prepared
because your opportunity is gonna come and you're gonna hit
a home run. You're gonna you're gonna do something big.
You're gonna hit a big home run that it's gonna
it's gonna you're gonna have your moment. And I continue
(03:43):
to say, yeah, whatever, I mean, how how are gonna
get that if I'm not even playing? But uh, I
put my mind into that, I put my money into
continue to work every single day, prepare for my chance,
for my opportunity and make my chance came on Game six,
and I'm really proud of the way that I play
Game six, the energy that I injected to the team
(04:05):
because of we needed at that time, and we won't
gain six and everything that happened against Aven was a
result of everything.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
The game six where you had the last out on
second base and you caught that ball then you fell over.
You seem like a kid like you were in third grade,
you know, living that moment as a child. You seem
like the happiest you've ever been in your life.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
I mean, that was one of the best moments of
my career. I don't usually react like that when a
play happens, but I feel like that was the momentum
that we.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Needed for next day and to turn the series around.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
And even though we still have to play another game,
I feel like with that play, with that moment, we
shifted the moment in our side. So yeah, I mean
I was so excited to be able to play on
that game and knowing that we won that game and
I was going to be able to play game seven,
that was That was something that I will remember forever.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
How do you go to Miguel Rohas was with us
from the Los Angeles Dodgers, how do you go to
bed after that game game six where you make the
last play, uh and you know, the last out at
second base and go to sleep and get prepared for
game seven.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah. I couldn't go to sleep until five. I am
in the morning.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
First, because uh, at the excitement the text messages the
people who I who loved me and who I love
a lot, reaching out to me and and telling me
how proud they were of the way that I play
and all that, and like congratulating me and giving me
the best buy for next day. And then another thing
was like I got an inter coastal strain after the play.
(05:43):
Kik gave me like a big hug and kind of
like pulled me up and kind of make me, make
me strain my my peg a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
And so I had a kind.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Of situation on my side going going to bed that
night and I have to take a lot of medicine
to be ready for game seven. Yeah, to answer your question,
I didn't go to sleep until the song was out.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
So you got to bed at five o'clock. And then
what time you wake up noon? Around eleven eleven o'clock. Yeah,
And did you know you were playing that night in
game seven?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Definitely I knew what was gonna be in the lineup.
It was where I was good to play or not
because of the discomfort that I have, but I promised
to myself that I wasn't gonna get the out of
the lineup in Game seven, and I was gonna do
anything possible to be to be okay to play Game seven,
(06:33):
and I am happy that I did. And I'm happy
for all our coaches and the train staff and and
the training the trainers that helped me get through it
so I can play in Game seven without a pain.
But I still have to get out of the game
in DA eleven inning because he was hurting so bad.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
So when you hit the home run, the Dodgers going
to Dodgers and Blue Jay, you going too extra innings
and then you saved the game. Again, we're throwing it
to get to get the guy out from third, but
if that ball is three feet to your right or
three feet to your left, the game's over.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Uh those are those are the things that were always
going to talk about for for the rest of our life, because,
uh double was tough, because just because of the turf
in in Canada, I felt like I didn't play the
ball the right way.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I misread it.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
I went back to it and I planted my feet
and I am glad that the guy at third base
didn't have a really good lead and I was able
to get the throwing time to the play and then
when you rewatch the replay, you see the foot of
Willi Smith coming off the play and then coming back
down just in time to get that out. And I
(07:44):
feel like that's something that's going to be there forever
to kind of rewatch and go go go after it
and a really special moment. And I think that play,
for me, it was way more important than hitting the
home run, because that was adu I play sure like
if I if I get out and da da bad
that I didn't hit a homer, we still have a
(08:05):
chat with we show her, But I mean with the
backs against the wall door the play, I think that
play was really important.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And when when uh, when that that happens, you know,
you you hit the home run and and you you know,
then you guys go on to win the game. I
can't imagine what that was like afterwards, the party, the
plane ride home, the parade, you know, the fans, you know,
coming out. That's gotta be a feeling that that you
can't get outside of professional sports.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Like, yeah, it's it's a dream.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
I feel like you you continue to feel like you're dreaming,
because that's something that it takes a little while for
you to kind of understand that that happened and you're
gonna become and your life is gonna turn around like
a three sixty because I mean from being around in
the streets and being recognized maybe once or twice and
(08:57):
during the year, is now every knows your name. Everybody
knows who you are, they know your face. And it's
not just locally in LA, it's global is everybody knows
because everybody was watching more than I don't know how
many million people were watching the game, and that kind
of make you life kind of torn around and go
(09:19):
in a different direction.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
But I'm so I'm so happy.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
It's been overwhelming for me because I never seek for
this much attention throughout throughout my life and during my.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Whole If you don't want, that's right way to do it.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
But I love it and I'm not gonna walk away
from it because that's something that I always ask for.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I wanted to have a moment like that.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
I think I deserve a moment like that because of
my career, and I feel like that happened to me
and now I need to be kind of proud of
the way that that it happened and I did it
and I'm I'm just happy that I did it for
the city and especially here.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
When and then you find out a few days later
that the Dodgers have signed you for a five and
a half million dollars, that is the sign of a
real classy organization.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yeah, definitely, especially not needing to do a move like that,
but they were in contact right away. They want me
to stay with the team, and knowing that it was
going to be my last year as a player, tiding
that up with my opportunity to starting the coaching role
or kind of my assistant to the front office role
(10:30):
or player development the next year after that, that was
really important to me and they were open to do
it for me and with me. So I'm really excited
to what is coming next and looking forward to prepare
for a three.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
P Everybody in the organization talks about you becoming the
eventual manager of that team.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Well, that's the goal, but I think everybody. I think
Dave Roverts is doing an amazing Once he moves on,
I don't know when that's gonna be, but he deserves,
he deserved to be on that late for a long time.
And uh, I mean, if it's if it's with this organization.
I'll be really happy if if if it's not a manager,
I would I would like to be a part of
(11:11):
the team and.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Continue to help well forever.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Yeah, continue to be helping, helping Dog and the front
office and the ownership to accomplish what they want, which
is winning more championships. And hopefully I can help my
teammates now uh soon to be my my, my guys
that are gonna teach something, and I'm gonna help them
to continue to get better.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
But I'm really excited about that opportunity.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
My guess is that the first time you come off
the bad next season, you get a standing ovation, and
the second and the third, and every game and every
time you come a bad standing ovation for that home run.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I don't want to set my standards and my expectations high,
but I just want to walk to the play and
see how it feels like. And that's why I didn't think.
I didn't think another on a other organization. I just
want to walk to a play at Dollyer Stadium on
opening day or whatever it is my first about and
see the reaction of the fence.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I asked Michael Krozer, who is the news anchor here
and one of the guys on the show, I said,
how long could I hug Mickey Rojas without it being weird?
And he said three minutes.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Okay, let's do it three minutes after the interview freaking hot.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
But I really, I seriously, that was the greatest sports
moment of my life. I'm a big Kings fan. I've
seen the Kings win two Stanley Cups. I've seen the Dodgers.
I've seen Kirk Gibson hit the home run. I've seen
the Lakers, you know, with Kobe Bryant and back with
Magic Johnson. But I've never gotten so excited in my
life that when you hit that home run, it means
it is the number one moment in my life.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
It means a lot to me. And I want to
say thank you, approve.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
For really for really give me the moment and obviously
hearing this is really important to me.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
And I'm gonna take this for forever.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I know you got you got to add a long
interview so and you got to get up back to
your family. But I can't thank you enough. Good luck
next here and when you become the man or of
the manager of the Dodgers, I hope you come back and.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I'll see you here whenever.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I all right, thank you, sir, I appreciate it, all right,
MIGGI Rohans, what man this guy is?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Uh, Pat Tross, whether it's.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
How you buye? I'm a little disappointed.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh why is that?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Just?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
In generally?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well, yeah, overall underwhelmed, but.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Uh by time of malaise.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
We just did an hour with that guy upstairs with
a bunch of Dodger types and sponsors, and I knew
one segment, like as I knew he was gonna come
down here and you were going to have him on,
and I could have kept him for three hours. Oh
you could have. I mean I didn't want to do
that to him, though. When he came out, he looked
at me and said, you got a towel? I know, well,
(14:06):
the air conditioning in here is on the fridge. But
he I knew about like three one question and when
he started talking, I was like, this guy's too good
of an interview for Conway to mess it up. That's right,
That's what I like, I'd like to see, like a
real idiot athlete get in here, we'd like.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
So dig dum when you hit that ball? What did you.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Think the toughest one. The toughest athlete to interview on
the show was stupid Greek X tailback Iron Mike Tyson.
Oh yeah, yeah, well that's like pulling teeth. Yeah, well
that's riding the bull literally.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I mean you ever see that one in Canada where
the guy's like, yeah, didn't you get charged for rape?
But I was like, oh, my god's gonna punch that
guy's head off. Yeah, and he and he goes, what
there for you talking about? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
He went hard on that. Yeah that's what you are.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, I'll take you outside and beat you to death.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
So anyway, yeah, I knew that the interview was going
to be good. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That bothered me because I wanted you to want Yeah,
well it was gross. I mean it was a real public.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Buddy, Slo, I have been in this building sixteen years,
you a little longer, and I've never seen the reaction
of the people who work here, secretary's assistants, you know it,
guys all lining up to take a picture with Miguel Rojas.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, I mean we're talking about legitimate baseball history. Talk
about it in one hundred years type.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
He was incredibly humbly impressive. Yeah, you know, he just
seems like a really.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well his uh, his whole story is that of hard work,
being a great fielder, being a utility guy, getting in
where you fit in on a team, being a leader
without being you know, a forty home run per year
type of writer.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
But I wish I had him longer. I meant to
bring him back. No, he could have, but I didn't
want to do it to him. But you know, he
was he was a backup utility player for the Reds
and he never thought he'd make the major League.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
No, he ended up with the Dodgers. He actually we
talked about it.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
He was he's the greatest Dodger in the history of
the organization.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
No, no, that's not that's true.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
But back in I think twenty twelve, he was on
the Dodgers and he made a huge play to preserve
Clayton Kershaw's no hitter, which is a very legendary thing
and kind of made Dodger fans aware of him.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Right, not like piz which is like, oh maybe I'll try,
maybe I won't that.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
What does that have to do with anything.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You should ask him if he thought if he thought
Pa has killed Kik in the moment, like in the moment,
did you think he killed them? Because it looked like
he kind of looked like wasn't going to get up
for kid. But no, it was very special and he
will be. The guy's a hard working Venezuelan guy who's
worked really hard, obviously at learning the language and not
only learning the language, but trying to convey and express himself.
(16:52):
And it's really impressive. I mean, I don't think any
of us would be able to do that in any
other language, even though this is what we do for
a living. So that's really impressive. And he wants to
manage and he wants to be He's gonna manage the Dodger.
I think that's what we're kind of looking at. This
guy seems to be. I mean, it does feel like
a kind of a destiny stars aligned type of thing.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And he's a great motivator too. You know, he motivated
me to him in today.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Motivated Mookie Betts to play shortstop so excellently gold Luck
Glove level shortstop.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
What a moment for you conboy, I hugged you. He
hugged you like an animal like. It was a fairal hug.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Like like he was trying to tie me up a rodeo.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah, hot time.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
You didn't even get into the break what you were
doing your outro before you even introduced me. I watched
him watch Amiggy get up and go around the console.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Well, and he was waiting to hug you.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You told him it was the best moment in the
history of your life, and so he's probably like, I
better give this st He's probably.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It was the most exciting moment of my life. And
I've won some slot machines that have paid off pretty nice.
Super fecto and that's nothing like that home run. Nothing, nothing,
not even close. Kirk Gibson got closed.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
It was a shared experience in the city. And you
think about the Dodgers team. You know, this guy's from Venezuela.
They got a Korean guy, you got three Japanese guys.
You got hay seeds like Kershaw and Max Munsey out
of Texas.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Uh, you got really really white guys to super white.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, you know, like uh like glass now from Santa
Clarita had an awesome town and they're all.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I mean, you have to think about it.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I mean, if you're inside that clubhouse, Shoel tanis sitting
there in his underwear or whatever, and you're like, hey, there,
he is the best baseball player that ever played. And
the fact that this guy, who is obviously uber skilled
and a generational player from his country and all that
such a big impact on such a special team. There's
no way that the Dodgers went back to back World
(18:52):
Series without that guy. So that's very special. I'm glad
that you hugged him like a Koala bear.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
The cavalry is on its way. What is that being
l a PD with about fifty cars?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Where are they fighting it out? Because I got to drive.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Home, heading towards the Federal Building and you'll be if
you're going, if you're going here to San Pedro, you'll

So when you were in bed the night before the
home run, did you dream in your head?

Hit when you you were like, I know your wife, Paula,
that guy said that you perhaps would hit the home run.
That guy didn't get to sleep till five am. I
heard the interview and I was if to eleven. I
was disappointed that your interview was so good.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
I like the Uh now we can have a real conversation, okay,
Big Felix, the cat I was a big Felix the
cat guy. Yeah, you and of course the Sign Downtown
or you know Felix and Jefferson, but also speed Racer.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
There's a lot of there's a lot of Asian that
was like the first like Asian reactionary type of show
where like something would happen and then you get a
shot of speed Racer's face and he's like appalled, and
then they make the English the English dub sound goes.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
You know what I mean, like, oh my god, Racer
EXAs you know, it's just super reaction.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Right way over the top. Yeah, and you know what
he was giving a stage when he was on an
actual cartoon.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
The other part about speed Racer, I mean we're talking
about real death.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
That's why they don't show it anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah, these guys go off the cliff, they're gonna die.
Like he's racing for his life. I mean, it's like
Death Race two thousand run. And then you think he's
got sprital Or and the and the monkey and they're.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Waiting the tricks. He's in there doing them make up
in the mirror. I mean there's a lot of risk
there for spend and Why would Pops let him do that.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Pops was always smoking a cigarette two And we never
found out the Racer X was his brother until later on.
That was a big deal.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Yeah, big mystery it was.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
It was a big mystery, but they don't show that anymore.
Remember the Mammoth car episode of Speed Racer. It was
built out of gold and they were trying to transport
illegally gold from Central America or you know, to America
or whatever. And it was all built out of gold,
and so when it got in a car wreck, they'd
come out and paint it real quick because they didn't
want people to know. Oh yeah, I remember that it's
all built out of goal.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
It was a great So there is one great Japanese
cartoon that like it's good in English dub and it's old,
like it's been going on for like thirty years. It's
called Loupon the Third. And if you like Speed Racer,
I love speed, you'll love Loupon the Third. L U
p I npon loopen Loupon the third. Like the it's
got like a song, play the Loupon the Third song.
Foosh if you're not have sandwiches, fush ate like a
(23:31):
like literally literally like if there was like think of
a checkerboard. This like two yards long of sandwiches. Foush
eight at least four during the Rojas interview, and I
was like, when's he going to take a break?
Speaker 6 (23:47):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
We were wondering where the hell he was because he
would put us on the air and then be gone,
and he was upstairs inhaling sandwiches. There was this is
on nip Nippon.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, play the theme for loupon the third l u
p I an, Yeah, here we go. Look, yeah, look, listen,
let's do it. Hears this. I know he wears a suit,
he's a beef.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
He hangs out with one guy that's got a great guns,
a great shot, but he hangs out with another guy.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It's like a samurai and a hot check Manuccio Mine,
this is great. Fuccio could breastfeed all of hoo.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Was this on VHS?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
I used to watch it late night TV.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You know what came on right after a speed Racer
was Kim but the White Lion, who's the king of
all of very strong No, no, I don't know. Kim
By the White Lion is the one. And it was
this crazy white Lion they'll go out and and solve
all the problems in uh in Africa. Probably couldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I'm gonna check why. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
I'm know the white lion savior and yeah, you don't
want that. The probably can't do that, all right, Petrose
is with us. That's what the white Yeah, that's what
you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
There's a few white saviors down in a downtown protesting
right now.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
And the cops have two lines set up right now
where they can't cross. But let's go to channel seven steps.
I know that they just.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Dallas man, he looks like the cripkeeper. Dallas is the
best best weather guy. Oh Channel four, okay, all right,
here we go Channel see.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I used to work there.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
His concerns about this very thing what we're seeing right now.
L a p D having to manage a large crowd
control type situation where some of the people in the
crowd are doing things to try.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
To humor on the sederal agents.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Maybe it'll be l a p D officers later hanging
out with Don Delay. He's worried about that.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
That's my second favorite moment of one particular Erk Leonnard
doing this report.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Projectile.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
It's lack of a better word, it's maybe golf ball size,
a little bit bigger, and.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
It's designed to knock the wind out of you or
knock you over.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
And if you lack supposed to use that when somebody
is threatening them, when there's a physical confrontation. But what
the judge fact is going to blow up can swallow Marshall,
one of the U. S District Court judges was that
officers very recently had been using those just to inflict
pain on people who were otherwise doing constitutionally protected protesting
(26:26):
in the street with a size sound.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Like you're on the side of the the guys that
got shot in the Sternham with the foam ball managed
especially as we see this is going to blow off
the spot.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I've seen the fact over and over and over.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Well, is there a federal agency that could perhaps come
in and assist that's.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Going to happen? You know what, Trump's going to see
this on TV and bring in those federal troops again.
You know he's gonna say that you know they needed
them here. The first who really suffers when there's trouble
like this downtown me why you know you have to
do this story. Michael monks. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Taken out on the weymos.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
The weaymos are like the like like the women in
Russian during you know, when Stalin was starving and everybody
out and the women had nothing to cook and everybody's dying.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
That's a waymos stands.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Weymo's just out there dying, you know, burning and looting
and dying out there when there's these these this unwrapped.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And these poor weymos didn't do anything to anybody. Have
you been in a weimo? No? I haven't either. I
gotta get in a way.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I would wonder who gets in the wing, Like, who's
the guy that's like, hey, uh, we need to get
over the seventh and figure roll.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Let's call a weymo. Who gets in the weymouth?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Right? Who does? All?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Right?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Patros is with us. We're watching Downtown LA.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
It's the live you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
There's some mischief makers going on downtown LA.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
But they're doing a wise anchors out there. Tim.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
They're doing something that I've not seen in a long time.
They're using the RTD buses better known I guess as
MTA now as barriers.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
It reminds me of the makeshift wall built by the
students in the revolution in Lama's Rob. Yes, that's exactly
what I was going to say, one more day till Revolution,
you know, speaking of uh Leman's Rob. I took my
mom to see Leman's. No, I took her to see
the Phanom of the Opera.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
It's a different writers.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
She fell asleep and at halftime, which like Bellio says,
they don't call its intermission intermission.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I wake her up.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Nobody blows a whistle like they don't put a clock
on the wall. I wake her up, and she grabs
her coat and she goes, oh that was great.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
We left, and I didn't tell her it wasn't over.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
We're going to dropped the chandelier.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
We had no idea who the phantom was.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
We pops out later. Yes, so we left at said
Michael Crawford. Yeah, it was Michael left Crawford at halftime.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
We split because I was not into it.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
My mom thought it was overcause you know who wrote
the Phantom of the Opera not to play the book?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
No Gastel is that right, French writer?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
And you know what. He was a newspaper man, much
like you, and he uh he wrote about the opera
and there was like some shady stuff in the bowels
of the opera, you know, like different stories and tales,
and that's how he came up with the fanom of
the opera.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You know who wrote Lamas rob.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
No, come on, I don't one of the great plot
writers in the history of literature. Oh Jim Murray close,
the guy that wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Also
Victor Hugo. Okay, Victor Hugo, Okay close, Not Jim Murray, buddy.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
I love the fact that you, uh that your mom
and dad, you know, culture was a big important when
you're you're growing up, you know, teaching about plays and
arts and stuff like that. And you also had the
cop stop by and arrest.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
You guys a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
We are polymaths. Yeah, it was the Ying and Yang
of Sam Pedro.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, Rancha palas Verdi, Oh Ranchal palas Verdi. That's where
my father's house is. Yeah, Okay, your.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Dad playing anywhere soon? I love one.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
He's uh, he's slowed down a bit, but maybe he's
gonna hit the stage again. Okay, some guy to do
something on Monday. And how old your dad?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Now?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
He's in seventy six, seventy six, Okay, he's in good,
but he's an ex football player, seventy six. He's a
little beat up, but he's doing all right. Has there
ever been in are you still feeling the buzz from
your Mickey Ross interview?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Has there ever been an NFL player that lived one
hundred years to see one hundred that's a great trivia question.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, probably not.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I bet there's gotta be fran Tarkan, tim Me, somebody
who like played in eighteen ninety, Art Donovan made it
to nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
I don't know, No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Eighteen ninety like, Okay, there is. I will tell you
a funny story because it's racially involved. There was a
guy in Iowa State and the stadium is named after him,
named Jack Trice. Jack Trice was a black guy way
back turn of the century type of stuff, last century,
playing for the Cyclones and in his very first game
(30:51):
ever I think it was against Minnesota, he died got killed.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
In a scrub ye on the game, in the game,
in the game, okay.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
They killed him. Basically the Minnesota football team.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Wiped him out, killed him right during the game, which
you just don't see today, you know, you just don't
race Vendeta against his player, and they killed him.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
He died, They killed him, and it was forever.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
And he wrote a special letter the night before the
game about how nervous he was, and now that letter
is famous in the Iowa state. Their stadium is named
Jack Trice Stadium. They had the Jack Trice Game, all
this stuff and thought, I mean, it's a fascinating story.
And no one really knows if he was killed because
he was black, but you know, I was the only
black guy out there. But then you look and say, like, okay,
(31:37):
what year was that. It was like eighteen something. It's like, oh,
twenty guys died that year playing college football, right, yeah,
it was like before they change the rules, and I
mean there used to be pretty gnarly out there. In fact,
when Army Navy plays every year for like one hundred years, right,
it's a great game.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
It's a great game.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I think it was one of the presidents postponed it
for like four years, and Theodore Roosevelt had to bring
it back because after Army Navy once a Navy general
tried to get into a duel with a Navy admiral,
like right in the street. They were pissed about the game,
and the president, I think it was Grover Cleveland, was like, hey,
(32:17):
we can't have this, we can't play this game. So
they stopped playing it for four years.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, then they brought it. But who is the guy
Jeddy Roosevelt thought the rough Rider brought it up. It's
a big guy deal. When a guy dies? Was it
Hamlin with the Buffalo?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Mr Hamblin? He died for a moment and then was revived.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
But they canceled that game when he died.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
They did, yeah, they yeah, they didn't stop playing.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
They didn't play the rest of the game.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
That was a big deal. When a guy dies. Yeah,
well now it is.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, but he came back and now and then he
still plays, is it he?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
You know, it's even a bummer now when a guy
like gets just carted off when they take his face
mask off and his arms are wrapped around his chest
and then we come back on TV.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
They're like, all right, second out of ay, this one's.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Brought to you boy, but light and then with his
hands all crink.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Oh yeah, concussion hands.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Oh man, that's the worst. It's all Rocky four. And
then they go right back to the game.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Well, you know, you know in real life in football,
when somebody gets hurt in practice because everything's timed and
some guys.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Like laid out, you know what they do, No move
the drill, no way the drill.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
They moved to the outside of the field.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
They moved to the other side of the field, they
moved the cameras, and that guy just lays there alone.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Oh my god. Well, you know what the with the trainers.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I heard the Detroit Lions go full on tackle and
gear every practice and that's why they have a lot
of injuries.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I promise you that's not true.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (33:36):
But you know that is one funny thing about football.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
I heard those It's like you had the baseball player
on today and they play you know, one D and
sixty two games like they play that's what they do.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
They play all spring training. They just play baseball.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Basketball players like when they're not playing during the season,
they're playing pickup games. They're constantly honing their skill. Football
is the only sport where the players hate playing like really, well, yeah,
the players are like, wait, what, I've never seen a
bigger party in my life than when I was at
USC And they'd be like, hey, guys, we're just wearing
(34:11):
helmets today. I mean, you might as well tell everybody
they just want a million dollars?
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Is that right? Yeah? And it's this.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Do they like playing on Sundays? No? And the pros? No,
it hurts really No, Like they don't like playing in
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
No, it hurts to put all that stuff on and
get all tucked in and get bunked around.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
You know, you've made a great comment last time you
were on where you said you get the most injuries
from the ground.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
The ground hurts anybody, and.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
When you play in four below, that's got to really sting.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
But a lot of these modern stadiums have heating under
the field, so the field's not the field doesn't freeze,
and we don't have.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Astro turf anymore.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Wait, that's astro turf used to freeze. Wait no, so
what's the the service they feel?
Speaker 3 (34:56):
It's like what your neighbor has. You're like, Wow, that
guy's got a great law.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
And then you get them you're like, oh my god,
it's a bio has oh fake, Yeah, it's that stuff.
And if it's not done with the trumple tires, right,
and then they examboni.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yet why do they put the crumpled tires in.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
There to make it rubbery and bouncy?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Little tiny bits they fly around?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, they fly into your eyes and they're fill your
shoes and all that different stuff.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
I guess it's it's better than astro turf that I
played on.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Is there anything to the rumor that the San Francisco
forty nine ers played to their their practice facilities too
close to a substation and all that?
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Like, yeah, but what I don't understand is, like, what's
wrong with the substation? What are sandwiches doing to these guys?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
They they're blaming the electricity for all the oh not
a oh.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Too many sandwich?
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Can you say you got to run?
Speaker 3 (35:44):
I could do one more? Okay? All right?
Speaker 2 (35:45):

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
