Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:08):

Speaker 3 (00:15):

Speaker 1 (00:16):
How's your draft? How's your traffic?
Speaker 6 (00:18):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
How's yours? Ho Bro? All right, we're watching this high
speed chase.
Speaker 7 (00:22):
Did they just spike him again?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah? They did?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
They miss did I think they missed? I hit?
Speaker 8 (00:25):
I think they hit that van, that nineteen seventy two van.
That's what that guy needs. His four tires blown.
Speaker 7 (00:32):
Had a close up shot him on him for a second.
His driver's side window was down and he was on
his phone just texting whatever.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (00:39):
I think he's looking for a ride, you know, he's
looking for a guy to meet him somewhere and get
out of this piece of crap. We can get into
some wheels again, some tires going for weymo.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, that's right. He needs a way moo.
Speaker 8 (00:48):
He needs something to get at the hell out of there.
He's got about seven or eight cops following him. He's
on Main Street and one hundred and eighth Street, so
he looks like it can't tell. Now, okay, he's going
northbounx shadow right sign, so northbound? And Angel, what do
you say? What do you know with the traffic around there?
Anything interesting or dull?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
So it's pretty busy everywhere you go, especially Angel Martinez, everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
It's busy.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
Stick to the surface streets.
Speaker 8 (01:19):
All right, all right, all right, while we're watching this,
Kershaw is retiring and that speech is at five point
thirty word and carry it live. Now we have the
speech because they give it to all the stations, and
then they do what's called embargoing it. Krozier, do you
know what an embargoed speeches? And why do they Why
did they embargo information?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Do you know why?
Speaker 7 (01:41):
A lot of times it's because they don't want they
want the exclusivity of everybody watching when it actually does happen.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I see.
Speaker 8 (01:47):
So when they gave us this, they said it's embargoed
till five forty. We can't read it until five forty. Generally, yes, okay,
can I read a portion of it? You're asking the
wrong person because you'll always get a yes from me. Okay,
all right, let me read the first paragraph and hopefully
if I get in trouble, then well krozher game throw.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Okay, all right, Okay, here it is.
Speaker 8 (02:09):
So this is going to be the first paragraph from
Kershaw's retirement speech tonight, after eighteen seasons, I'm retiring from
Major League baseball. I've spent my entire career with the
Los Angeles Dodgers, and I remember the first season like
it was yesterday. When I arrived in Los Angeles, I
(02:31):
was greeted and welcomed by the local press, including a
radio show that's not on anymore called the Conway and
Doug Show.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
How about that.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
We had him on every week when he got here
to LA and he didn't remember the name of the
show was Conway and Steckler, not the Conway and Doug Show,
although Conway and Doug show sounds better, right, two idiots
guy using his last name and the first name of
the other guy. That's a great title for a show,
you know, the Tim and Crow Krozier's show. The first
(03:02):
name and then a last name. All right, Then he
goes on. I remember my weekly appearances, and I'll always
say that was my favorite year. Thanks to the hospitality
of the local media here in Los Angeles and then
it goes on. So tomorrow will be my last regular
season game at the best stadium in the world, Dodger Stadium.
As we go into the playoffs, then it goes on
and on. But that's odd that he you know, that
(03:22):
he remembered that and mentioned it. I think that's pretty cool.
You know, the Clayton Kershaw. We had him on every
single week when he first got here to LA and
nobody knew who he was, and we didn't really know
who he was. But he was funny, he was smart.
He'd tell some great stories, and he'd phone in and
talked to us about baseball. And that's cool that he
mentioned us in the first paragraph. So hopefully he sticks
(03:44):
to the script. You know, you know, well else I
looked like an a hole. You know that I'm pluging my
own name in the second that he don't mention it
horrible and it probably happened, who knows, all right, or
they tried to spike him again, you see that. Or no,
somebody threw something at him, so he threw a microwave
about him.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, they threw a microwave at him.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
It's an interesting area, you know, where you get a
microwave thrown at you. You know, you're just driving trying
to avoid the cops. You're suspected of murders, so it's
going to be a rough ending. And then a guy
had his microwave burnout on him, and now it's on
your hood, interesting area.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Give him a few packs of popcorn.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
At least come on interesting guys in that neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Hey, Marge, can I throw this microwave at him? Yeah?
Oh yeah, nailed it front.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
Yeah, it was either a small refrigerator microwave bang right
in the windship.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Oh, because I'm like spinning out. This guy went a
little crazy afterwards too, he's kind of yeah, the microwave,
I think it was unplugged. Don't think he will get
an the radiation, but he does look like the microwave
did heat the chase up.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Thank you very much, Thank you so much. You wow.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
But yeah, it wasn't my microwave that some cat decided
they're not going to use it anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
It's twenty years old. The car is just getting it
all to hell. I mean, I'm impressed by the way
that bumpers holding on.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
That it makes a good product apparently, But don't you
think that after the microwave hits the car.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Isn't this the reaction of the driver, Jesus Christ, it's
trying to get home. He just looks over the guy.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
Jesus Christ's trying to get it away for these cops.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Man's trying to microwave. Come on, yeah.
Speaker 8 (05:42):
Give me a I mean, you're supporting these guys behind
me with that microwave toss.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Come on, and then it's just.
Speaker 8 (05:48):
Going to incentivize more guys to throw more appliances, you know, Yeah,
he's a hotel fridge. Bang, you know, dreal size mixer, bang,
ah Christ, lot of crap come in my way.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Just appliance. That's classic.
Speaker 8 (06:13):
That would be wouldn't that make the chase as much
more interesting if people brought out their old appliances that
didn't work anymore and then and then just tossed it,
you know, it's what is And then on channel four
h well, it looks like he just got hit by
a dishwasher.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Dishwasher. God, it's heavy to throw it a guy. Multiple
people just even and that looked like a record player,
numberson record player.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
But yeah, just throw your old crap at him, because
everybody has crap at their house that they don't need.
Our house is filled with crap we never use and
we don't need. And what do we do. We go
out and buy more crap. We don't get rid of
anything or not everything, and we just buy more crap.
That's what Americans do, look, don't I've been to a
(07:03):
few other countries. I've been to England, I've been to France,
been to a lot of part of Canada. I've been
to Mexico before. So I'm not, you know, in isolated
and insulated with the United States. And I'm telling you,
I have never ever seen two things that I see
in this country all the time. I've never seen it
overseas in Canada or in Mexico. Number one, self storage,
(07:27):
self storage. We cannot get rid of our crap, so
we pay to have somebody else hold on to it.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Like Gil carlon bitch, Yes for our stuff.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Yeah, place for our stuff. So that's one thing I
never see in Canada. I don't see it. In Mexico,
I don't see it. I didn't see it in France
or Great Britain. I didn't see And I noticed that
too when I was there. I'm like, man, nobody there's
no self storage here. Everyone just holds onto their own s.
And the second thing that's exclusive to Los Angeles, and
I've not seen it any other where, any other place
(07:58):
than the country. I have never in my life seen
so many people move their own crap. Everybody's moving their
own stuff. Nobody hires a mover. Everybody gets a U
haul or a pickup truck and they loaded to the brim.
You got ten speeds in there, you got a microwave,
(08:18):
you got a bed, it's no longer going to be
a sleepable because it's all bending in the wind.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Everybody.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
If you're on the freeway right now, you must I
bet you today you pass five cats that are moving
their own crap. Everybody's moving. And whenever I see a
moving van or a truck full of guys crap, I
always try to decide whether it's a move up or
a move down. Where is this guy going? And I
always think the middle of the month is a move
(08:46):
down because nobody moves in the middle of the month.
You've been kicked out if you moved in the middle
of the month. Yeah, if you're moving your crap around
the twenty seven, nine, thirtieth, or first or second of
the month, you're moving up or move to a different place.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Maybe you've got a lateral move going on.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
But the guys that are moving on the fifteenth, those
are evictions or the husband or the wife has thrown
them out and they're moving their own crap. I've never
seen it maybe before in my life. Every other lot
in North Hollywood is a U Haul place. They should
name it North u Haul. Every place in North Hollywood
(09:24):
rents vans so people can move their own nests, every
single place.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
All right, we're watching this chase right now. It's on
where is that Hoover and Street just east of Manchester And.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
It looks like that bumper is on his last leg
on the back. Oh, it's only holding on by like
the side edge.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
On Channel five they just showed the highlight of the
guy throwing the microwave at him.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Nice.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
That's great, that is And now the cops have to
avoid the microwave.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Two right, that's the other part. Jesus Christ, guy through
a microwave.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
This yes, if this guy's been going for a long
time now and nothing but rims for the most part.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
You know what, I'd love to see a museum of
a holes where you bring these cars in. I'd go
see that car, you know, and then the video behind
it of the chase. Just put her upset, the bonding
Clyde car. Yeah, and the video big screen behind of
the chase. And here's the microwave that was thrown. I
like to see that.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Like they used to.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Take Dui crash cars and put them in the front
of fire fire departments, right, let people know, cautionary tales.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, bring him to high schools. That scared straight crap.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Yeah yeah, and and I think it may have scared
one guy for about an hour.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Put the microwave there too, Yeah. Right. I would go
to the Museum of A Holes, you know, you.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Know, you get your OJ's, you get you know, just
giant A holes that have done a lot of damage,
and you get to go see the the you know,
the the equipment that they used in creating their mischief.
That's a great idea. I'm not going to do it.
I'm I don't know the money to do it, the
time to do it, and the desire.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Other than that I do it all right.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
On CAFI, following this chase through southern California and South
Los Angeles.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Clayton Kershaw is about to retire from baseball, and we
will carry that live as soon as it starts.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
To happen here.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
We will break in and play it in the next
couple of minutes, since it five thirty five. Yeah, okay,
all right. Until then, let's find out the lineup at
the by the way, they got this guy this chases over.
Oh yeah, I'm sorry, Yeah, you're right, Chase is over.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
The guy.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
He went down a side street basically, or a small
residential street, and at the end of that residential street
was another police vehicle that was that was across it,
so he couldn't go anywhere. So he just got out,
put his hands up and it was just like that
over and he'll have a different evening than he thought. Uh,
there'll be a lot of speed wrapping at the LAPD headquarters.
They're going to go over it again and again and again,
(11:58):
and he's probably gonna be charge charged with a lot
of the driving infractions, you know, going the wrong way, speeding,
driving on the shoulder, blowing through red lights. A lot
of that will be added on to his time. So
if if that's your dad, your uncle, your brother.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
I wouldn't set a plate for him tonight or until
maybe Thanksgiving. He probably won't be on for a while.
They decided to run away from the cops. Great entertainment,
glad nobody got hurt, but ultimately not the right move,
you know, I think it adds a lot of complications.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
To your life.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
So very rarely do they get away, and you only
see him get away at night. I don't really you
don't really see that daytime fleers get away. You only
see the guys late at night who go downtown La
slide into a parking lot or big ball and then
get away that way. But very rarely do they get
away during the day, and the cops have a pretty
get a handle on that. So we're about to hear
(13:01):
Clayton Kershaw's retirement speech. He'll pitch his last game, his
last regular season game, tomorrow at Dodger Stadium, and I
think they're playing the Giants tomorrow. Yeah, so man, that
stadium is going to be packed. So if you don't
have your tickets, maybe there's some a couple of tickets
left for a Friday night game. The weather should be beautiful,
(13:23):
it'll be warm, a little bit muggy, but it'll be
a spectacular game and you'll want to be there. I
think when Clayton Kershaw throws his last ball during the
regular season, there'll be a last pitch tomorrow at Dodger Stadium,
and I'm sure that that ball will be kept and
(13:47):
it will be sent off to the Baseball Hall of
Fame unless it's hit out of the park and then
it won't be But no, it should. They should have
the last ball that Clayton Kershaw pitches tomorrow. Bill have
his glove, his ball, his hat, his uniform, and you'll
want to see that. I mean, he's been there for
(14:07):
eighteen years. My daughter was two when he started with
the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Wow, two years old. It was in two thousand.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
I think he was been drafted in six and then
his first game was in eight.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
He looked that up here.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
I think it was May of eight and and so
he's been pitching for you know, most of Yeah, Clayton
Kershaw was drafted in six and made his Dodger debut
on May twenty fifth, two thousand and eight, and this
will be his last season. Eighteen years with the Los
Angeles Dodgers Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
What a guy.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
I think he was born and raised in Texas, if
I'm not mistaken. Yeah, Dallas area of Dallas, that's where
he's from. I don't know if he was born there,
but okay, alright, alright.
Speaker 8 (14:52):
His parents divorced when he was ten years old, and
he was raised by his mother. He played in youth
sports leagues as a child like those professional athletes, including
Little League baseball. He attended Highland Park Highland Park High School,
where he played baseball and was also the center for
Matthew Stafford. I didn't know that he was the center
(15:17):
for future quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
What a connection, and they both play here in Los Angeles. Crazy.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
Yeah, maybe Stafford will be there today if they're still
remain friends. Oh, here it is, it's on coming up
on Channel five. Let's pop it up, Robin and see
what we got here with Clayton Kershaw retiring after eighteen
seasons with the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
I can't have time today to do a justice for
all the people that have helped me along the way
and got me.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
To this point.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
So today I'm just gonna kind of keep it short
and sweet, and then you know, be able to really
tell people just how grateful I am for everybody that's
in this organization, that's in this room, that's been here
later on. But yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna call it.
I'm gonna tire. We've talked about a lot, and I
talked about a lot. Kiddos talked about it a lot,
(16:05):
and I'm at peace with it. I think it's I
think it's the right time. And it's been a it's
been such a fun year. I've had such a blast
with this group. I've had such a blast with.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
All you guys.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
So yeah, I can't think of a better season to
go it out, go out, and uh, we still have
a lot to accomplish obviously this month, and the last
thing I want to do is be a distraction to
anybody for accomplishing our ultimate goal to win in the
last game of the season. So we're going to get
through this today and then we're going to go win
the rest of the games and be good. But just
(16:42):

gonna miss all of that. I'm gonna miss the flights.
(18:14):
I'm gonna miss everything about them. Freddy, you know what
I'm talking about. I'm gonna miss all those. You know,
the game ended up itself. I'm gonna miss a lot,
but you know I can. I'll be okay without that.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I think.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
I think the hard part is the feeling after a win,
celebrating with you guys.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
That's uh, that's pretty special, all right. I'm done with that.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
To the friends and family that aren't here that have
supported me, thank you guys so much. Everybody back in Dallas.
You guys are with me from square one, So thank
you guys. It's uh, you all saw me when I
was you know, fourteen, to where I am now, so
you've seen every part of me. So thank you guys.
Sure it's putting up with me for that long, all right? Ellen,
(19:06):
you four muskrats four and a half muskrats. Ellen sent
me this thing today, and I'm gonna read it because.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I get to do whatever I want. You guys are here,
so deal with it and it won't take long. I'm
almost done, I promise.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
But she was just kind of Ellen's way to process
things is to kind of read through things. And this
is this was from her vantage point. She calls it
her what do you call your perch up on top?
And this is what she said, this is this is
how she views our last eighteen years.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Here for my perch.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
I have been uncomfortably pregnant, nurse newborns, rock them to
sleep to the roar of the seventh inning stretch to
get their last nap in, feed them baby food pouches,
teething crackers, changing blowout diapers, been frazzled with toddlers, tantrums
and meltdowns, Chased them through the concourses a Mary Poppin's
(20:07):
bag full of tricks and games to keep them occupied,
and ironically teaching them the ins and outs of baseball,
explaining all the numbers on the scoreboard and the concession line,
the ballpark food.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
She's been there, She's uh, She's.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Cried over some really hard losses and some really incredible milestones.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
And she's watched.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Our kids fall in love with the game, with the players,
with and watching me pitch singing, take me out to
the ball game, chasing beach balls, ducking from fly balls,
spilling food, and popcorn all over the fans below them,
and she's done it thousands of times, thousands of bathroom
runs all in the stadium, and the workers and ushers
are their best friends now. So I just thought that
(20:49):
was an amazing way to sum up her life from
the stands and.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Just what she's seen through it all. So thanks, it's amazing.
That's it. My last My favorite thing. My last thing
is my favorite Bible verse.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
It's whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,
as you're working for the Lord, not for men. It's
cautions and that's what I've tried to do. Just work
at it, just work at it and love it.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
And so I'm really not sad. I'm really not. I'm
really at peace with this.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
It's just emotional and I've tried to hold it together.
I told our guys not to make it weird today,
so because I was gonna get weird if you make
it weird, and here I am making it weird. So
that's that's all I have. And just thank you everybody
here that's covered me over the years. I know I'm
not the most fun at times, so just just thank
(21:43):
you for putting up with me, and that's all. I
have thank you guys so much for being here.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I think it takes any question the.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Do I get to go or.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Send me here kind with this decision, but.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Why Yeah, you know, I think just with this last
home start coming up, I just felt it was the
right time. Honestly, Alan had a lot to do with it.
She kind of talked to me, and it just it
just felt like everything had come together. And you know,
obviously we have another month to play, and you know,
we have a lot of great pitchers, so everybody's role
is kind of up in the air at this point.
(22:27):
So I just didn't want this opportunity to pass by, and.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
It just kind of felt like the right thing to do.
When did you finalize your decision?
Speaker 6 (22:37):
We had talked about it basically all year, you know,
Ellen and I just kind of going back and forth,
and usually we wait to the off season to kind
of make a final call. But I think almost going
into this season, we kind of knew that this was
going to be it. So I didn't want to say
anything in case I changed my mind. But over the
course of the season, just how grateful I am to
(22:59):
have been healthy and be out on the mound and
be able to pitch, and I think it just made
it obvious that this was this was a good sending
off point, and it is. I've had the best time
this year. It's been a blast.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
How much did it matter to you.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
To kind of go out on your own currents and
in a.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Sea where you pitch like this? You know it.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Not a lot of people get this opportunity, So I'm
just I'm just super grateful for it. And so, yeah,
own terms is a weird thing to say, but not
hurt is nice, you know. So being able to pitch
and not pitch terribly and being able to be around
has been has been super special.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I don't know, I don't know. Hold on, I think
I can answer that. Just give me a minute. I think.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
I think we all play this game for the respect
of our teammates, and so having these guys years pretty special.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I'm proud of that, your entire career and do. Yeah,
that's been amazing. I love being here. I wouldn't change
that for anything.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Yeah, my kids have grown up here at least, you know,
we started out you know, dating to marry to four
four and a half kids later, So it's just been
we've all grown up here.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Haven't we. Yeah, So it's just been it's been a
special place.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Anticipating tomorrow night, making your final, the great.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Seasons, anticipate pitching good Dave, all right, I mean this
is not you know, this is this. This game matters,
you know for both teams where everybody's still in it.
We got to win these games. So it's good to
get this out of the way today. And you know
it'll be heightened, I'm sure, but I got a job
to do, so I need to go out there and
do my job, and thankfully I'll have that to distract
(24:53):
me for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Greedin, You're have been a mentor for so many pictures.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
What's the most important lesson you?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Hope they carried forward.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
For your example, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
I just wanted to be I just want to be
a great teammates everybody, young guys, old guys. You know,
we're all together every day for eight months out of
the year, ten twelve hours a day.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
So who you play with.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Matters, and so I haven't had a better time than
with this group this year.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It's been.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
It's been a blast and looking forward to a little
bit longer with them.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
We've heard that you made your decision, maybe a look
a month ago or so, and then in August, you
don't five and zero with a one eight or a
you're so close to that all time wins record. Was
there any thought like I could still do this at
a high level.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I'm still pitching great, But maybe you.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Wanted to put on No, I don't think so.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
I think I just wanted to be be in the
moment this season, and it's been it's been a great year.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
So I think we made the right call. And you know,
you know, you don't ever.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Want to pitch bad, and so pitching well is important,
and that's that's how I would want to do it.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, the people of this city mean to you. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
I'm gonna get a chance to thank the fans later,
I think. But it's been it's been a wild ride,
you know, and they've they've been behind us the whole
every step of the way, and it hasn't been a
smooth ride, and you know, we've had our ups and
downs for sure. So I'm just I'm super grateful to
every single Dodger fan that's come through the stalls here
(26:17):
at Dodger Stadium and everyone that I've gotten to meet
along the way. I would say it's just been it's
been pretty special to have that fan base behind us
for all these years. There's nothing better than having a
full Dodger Stadium getting the pitch in front of it.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
A favorite moment here.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
The great Clayton Kershaw announcing he will retire.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Kershaw retiring after eighteen seasons. What a career, What a
career that this man is hey, and he's gonna be
pitching tomorrow night at Dodger Stadium. So even if you
don't have tickets, go to ticketmaster, seek geek, ticket claw,
ticket show. How's your tickets? Uh, ticket me up, whatever
(27:03):
you got wherever you go to get your tickets, you'll
want to be there tomorrow night. A very emotional Clayton
Kershaw krusher when he said he had four and a
half kids. Is that is that a hint that his
wife is pregnant or does he have four kids?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I kind of thought that too, yeah, or does he
have a I don't know, I don't know what I
have a kid is? Yeah. I don't want to make
any guesses that'll get thrown off the air.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Yeah, uh we uh, we got to take a break,
I guess, right, yeah, okay, all right, We've got a
lot coming back. We have Kershaw retiring. We're gonna have
an update on the lineup. If you're going to Charlie
Kirk's memorial and his funeral his service on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona,
(27:56):
that is going to be a huge event. We'll have
more on Jimmy Kimmel as well, what's going on with
him and his disappearance from his show. A lot going
on and we're going to cover it all the next
hour and fifteen minutes before Moe Kelly gets in to.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
This seat, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demayo
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Very emotional Clayton Kershaw retiring from baseball at Dodgers Stadium.
What a sports day, Dodger Stadium, Clayton Kershaw retiring. And
then two hours exactly two hours before that, the LA
(28:41):
Kings announced that Andrea Copitar is retiring from hockey. And
so you got two guys retiring on the same day.
To LA great athletes who played their entire career with
(29:02):
one team, the LA Kings the LA Dodgers. And if
you're a Kings fan, this copaitar thing is a big
deal if you're a Dodger fan. The Kershot thing is
a big deal. Both of them huge, huge deals. We
(29:22):
don't have any audio from Copaitar, but I can read
some of his statement here. I believe there is some.
I checked the audio vault and there's nothing in that folder.
It says Copatar retiring, and then this is what it
sounds like.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
There it is you know, for example, if we're in
a fight there, the last thing I want to do
is take any you know, attention away from the team
and put it on myself. So I just felt this
is this is the best time.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
And so I don't understand it. Is he going to
play the season out? Or is he is going to
play the season?
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Oh he is, okay, all right, So it'll be great
to see Coppaitar going from one city to another to
another to be recognized as one of the greatest players
in hockey. If you missed, we didn't get the whole
retirement speech, but I have it in front of me.
They put Lakers put out a sorry, King's put out
(30:24):
a notice here on on Copatar retiring. It says here,
and I can't do where is he from? Is he
from Sweden, sloven Slovenia. I guessed the player in the
NHL from sloven is that right? Wowny's sensational to Stanley
(30:44):
cups too, So I'm going to try and do a
Slovenia accent and and it's not going to be good,
but it goes. It's not gonna be good at all.
I am a going to retire from the hockey. I
love the food here at Crypto and the beers. I
(31:08):
love the nachos also with the beers. God on the
level announcement. I love the winds and I hated the losses.
I thought we'd have a chance for another Cup, but
until we got the Cory Perry, and now we've got
no chance.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I'm going from Chicago.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
I'm going to stay in LA and become a Ducks
fan because of my hatred of Cory Perry. Wow, happy
fifty seventh birthday to Corey Perry. I love october Fest
and Anaheim and Don Cucko's in Burbank. God is he
(31:52):
interested in local food? It seems odd for his retirement.
They are Don Cucko's and the bank has the best
the saltsa and the rice and if you don't mind
me observing two low level, you know, favorites at a
Mexican restaurant, the saltsa and the rice. God, what was
(32:14):
this guy thinking? All right, he continues, dust In the
Brown was as smart to get out while the team
was good. Our new general manager has a one hundred
year rebuild.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
The plan for the Kings.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
I love the city, good night, and this team is
not going to win. God, seems so odd. You know,
it's such a strange retirement speech. You know, he likes
local food, he drinks the beer, the nachos that he
eats at Crypto, and then he bags on the team
for getting Corey Perry. And it seems odd, an odd
(32:56):
retirement speech. Got then he said, the new general manager
has a wonder hundred year rebuild plan. Oh I don't
like that. That sounds like too long. And he breaks
it down here. The first to twenty five years he
gets to know the players, the second twenty five years
he also is going to decide who plays to where,
(33:20):
and then last fifty years decide to get the new players.
So one hundred year rebuild for the Kings. Great, gat
all right, we gotta take a break. We're live on
KFI Big Night here in Los Angeles. Copaitar retiring kersh A,
retiring Jimmy Kimmel will have more on that when we
(33:41):
come back. And also this weekend we got in at
State Farm in Glendale, Arizona. We've got a huge funeral
that will probably be attended by tons and tons of
people with Charlie Kirk being assassinated a week ago. Yesterday

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Angel Please you know what's going on with you?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
You know?
Speaker 4 (00:11):
You know?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I know you know, I know you know? Bro?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (00:14):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
How's your traffic?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
How's your draft? How's your traffic?
Speaker 6 (00:18):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
How's yours? Ho Bro? All right, we're watching this high
speed chase.
Speaker 7 (00:22):
Did they just spike him again?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah? They did?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
They miss did I think they missed? I hit?
Speaker 8 (00:25):
I think they hit that van, that nineteen seventy two van.
That's what that guy needs. His four tires blown.
Speaker 7 (00:32):
Had a close up shot him on him for a second.
His driver's side window was down and he was on
his phone just texting whatever.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (00:39):
I think he's looking for a ride, you know, he's
looking for a guy to meet him somewhere and get
out of this piece of crap. We can get into
some wheels again, some tires going for weymo.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, that's right. He needs a way moo.
Speaker 8 (00:48):
He needs something to get at the hell out of there.
He's got about seven or eight cops following him. He's
on Main Street and one hundred and eighth Street, so
he looks like it can't tell. Now, okay, he's going
northbounx shadow right sign, so northbound? And Angel, what do
you say? What do you know with the traffic around there?
Anything interesting or dull?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
So it's pretty busy everywhere you go, especially Angel Martinez, everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
It's busy.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
Stick to the surface streets.
Speaker 8 (01:19):
All right, all right, all right, while we're watching this,
Kershaw is retiring and that speech is at five point
thirty word and carry it live. Now we have the
speech because they give it to all the stations, and
then they do what's called embargoing it. Krozier, do you
know what an embargoed speeches? And why do they Why
did they embargo information?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Do you know why?
Speaker 7 (01:41):
A lot of times it's because they don't want they
want the exclusivity of everybody watching when it actually does happen.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I see.
Speaker 8 (01:47):
So when they gave us this, they said it's embargoed
till five forty. We can't read it until five forty. Generally, yes, okay,
can I read a portion of it? You're asking the
wrong person because you'll always get a yes from me. Okay,
all right, let me read the first paragraph and hopefully
if I get in trouble, then well krozher game throw.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Okay, all right, Okay, here it is.
Speaker 8 (02:09):
So this is going to be the first paragraph from
Kershaw's retirement speech tonight, after eighteen seasons, I'm retiring from
Major League baseball. I've spent my entire career with the
Los Angeles Dodgers, and I remember the first season like
it was yesterday. When I arrived in Los Angeles, I
(02:31):
was greeted and welcomed by the local press, including a
radio show that's not on anymore called the Conway and
Doug Show.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
How about that.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
We had him on every week when he got here
to LA and he didn't remember the name of the
show was Conway and Steckler, not the Conway and Doug Show,
although Conway and Doug show sounds better, right, two idiots
guy using his last name and the first name of
the other guy. That's a great title for a show,
you know, the Tim and Crow Krozier's show. The first
(03:02):
name and then a last name. All right, Then he
goes on. I remember my weekly appearances, and I'll always
say that was my favorite year. Thanks to the hospitality
of the local media here in Los Angeles and then
it goes on. So tomorrow will be my last regular
season game at the best stadium in the world, Dodger Stadium.
As we go into the playoffs, then it goes on
and on. But that's odd that he you know, that
(03:22):
he remembered that and mentioned it. I think that's pretty cool.
You know, the Clayton Kershaw. We had him on every
single week when he first got here to LA and
nobody knew who he was, and we didn't really know
who he was. But he was funny, he was smart.
He'd tell some great stories, and he'd phone in and
talked to us about baseball. And that's cool that he
mentioned us in the first paragraph. So hopefully he sticks
(03:44):
to the script. You know, you know, well else I
looked like an a hole. You know that I'm pluging my
own name in the second that he don't mention it
horrible and it probably happened, who knows, all right, or
they tried to spike him again, you see that. Or no,
somebody threw something at him, so he threw a microwave
about him.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, they threw a microwave at him.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
It's an interesting area, you know, where you get a
microwave thrown at you. You know, you're just driving trying
to avoid the cops. You're suspected of murders, so it's
going to be a rough ending. And then a guy
had his microwave burnout on him, and now it's on
your hood, interesting area.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Give him a few packs of popcorn.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
At least come on interesting guys in that neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Hey, Marge, can I throw this microwave at him? Yeah?
Oh yeah, nailed it front.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
Yeah, it was either a small refrigerator microwave bang right
in the windship.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Oh, because I'm like spinning out. This guy went a
little crazy afterwards too, he's kind of yeah, the microwave,
I think it was unplugged. Don't think he will get
an the radiation, but he does look like the microwave
did heat the chase up.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Thank you very much, Thank you so much. You wow.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
But yeah, it wasn't my microwave that some cat decided
they're not going to use it anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
It's twenty years old. The car is just getting it
all to hell. I mean, I'm impressed by the way
that bumpers holding on.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
That it makes a good product apparently, But don't you
think that after the microwave hits the car.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Isn't this the reaction of the driver, Jesus Christ, it's
trying to get home. He just looks over the guy.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
Jesus Christ's trying to get it away for these cops.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Man's trying to microwave. Come on, yeah.
Speaker 8 (05:42):
Give me a I mean, you're supporting these guys behind
me with that microwave toss.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Come on, and then it's just.
Speaker 8 (05:48):
Going to incentivize more guys to throw more appliances, you know, Yeah,
he's a hotel fridge. Bang, you know, dreal size mixer, bang,
ah Christ, lot of crap come in my way.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Just appliance. That's classic.
Speaker 8 (06:13):
That would be wouldn't that make the chase as much
more interesting if people brought out their old appliances that
didn't work anymore and then and then just tossed it,
you know, it's what is And then on channel four
h well, it looks like he just got hit by
a dishwasher.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Dishwasher. God, it's heavy to throw it a guy. Multiple
people just even and that looked like a record player,
numberson record player.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
But yeah, just throw your old crap at him, because
everybody has crap at their house that they don't need.
Our house is filled with crap we never use and
we don't need. And what do we do. We go
out and buy more crap. We don't get rid of
anything or not everything, and we just buy more crap.
That's what Americans do, look, don't I've been to a
(07:03):
few other countries. I've been to England, I've been to France,
been to a lot of part of Canada. I've been
to Mexico before. So I'm not, you know, in isolated
and insulated with the United States. And I'm telling you,
I have never ever seen two things that I see
in this country all the time. I've never seen it
overseas in Canada or in Mexico. Number one, self storage,
(07:27):
self storage. We cannot get rid of our crap, so
we pay to have somebody else hold on to it.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Like Gil carlon bitch, Yes for our stuff.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Yeah, place for our stuff. So that's one thing I
never see in Canada. I don't see it. In Mexico,
I don't see it. I didn't see it in France
or Great Britain. I didn't see And I noticed that
too when I was there. I'm like, man, nobody there's
no self storage here. Everyone just holds onto their own s.
And the second thing that's exclusive to Los Angeles, and
I've not seen it any other where, any other place
(07:58):
than the country. I have never in my life seen
so many people move their own crap. Everybody's moving their
own stuff. Nobody hires a mover. Everybody gets a U
haul or a pickup truck and they loaded to the brim.
You got ten speeds in there, you got a microwave,
(08:18):
you got a bed, it's no longer going to be
a sleepable because it's all bending in the wind.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Everybody.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
If you're on the freeway right now, you must I
bet you today you pass five cats that are moving
their own crap. Everybody's moving. And whenever I see a
moving van or a truck full of guys crap, I
always try to decide whether it's a move up or
a move down. Where is this guy going? And I
always think the middle of the month is a move
(08:46):
down because nobody moves in the middle of the month.
You've been kicked out if you moved in the middle
of the month. Yeah, if you're moving your crap around
the twenty seven, nine, thirtieth, or first or second of
the month, you're moving up or move to a different place.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Maybe you've got a lateral move going on.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
But the guys that are moving on the fifteenth, those
are evictions or the husband or the wife has thrown
them out and they're moving their own crap. I've never
seen it maybe before in my life. Every other lot
in North Hollywood is a U Haul place. They should
name it North u Haul. Every place in North Hollywood
(09:24):
rents vans so people can move their own nests, every
single place.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
All right, we're watching this chase right now. It's on
where is that Hoover and Street just east of Manchester And.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
It looks like that bumper is on his last leg
on the back. Oh, it's only holding on by like
the side edge.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
On Channel five they just showed the highlight of the
guy throwing the microwave at him.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Nice.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
That's great, that is And now the cops have to
avoid the microwave.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Two right, that's the other part. Jesus Christ, guy through
a microwave.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
This yes, if this guy's been going for a long
time now and nothing but rims for the most part.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
You know what, I'd love to see a museum of
a holes where you bring these cars in. I'd go
see that car, you know, and then the video behind
it of the chase. Just put her upset, the bonding
Clyde car. Yeah, and the video big screen behind of
the chase. And here's the microwave that was thrown. I
like to see that.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Like they used to.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
Take Dui crash cars and put them in the front
of fire fire departments, right, let people know, cautionary tales.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, bring him to high schools. That scared straight crap.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Yeah yeah, and and I think it may have scared
one guy for about an hour.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Put the microwave there too, Yeah. Right. I would go
to the Museum of A Holes, you know, you.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Know, you get your OJ's, you get you know, just
giant A holes that have done a lot of damage,
and you get to go see the the you know,
the the equipment that they used in creating their mischief.
That's a great idea. I'm not going to do it.
I'm I don't know the money to do it, the
time to do it, and the desire.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Other than that I do it all right.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
On CAFI, following this chase through southern California and South
Los Angeles.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
Clayton Kershaw is about to retire from baseball, and we
will carry that live as soon as it starts.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
To happen here.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
We will break in and play it in the next
couple of minutes, since it five thirty five. Yeah, okay,
all right. Until then, let's find out the lineup at
the by the way, they got this guy this chases over.
Oh yeah, I'm sorry, Yeah, you're right, Chase is over.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
The guy.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
He went down a side street basically, or a small
residential street, and at the end of that residential street
was another police vehicle that was that was across it,
so he couldn't go anywhere. So he just got out,
put his hands up and it was just like that
over and he'll have a different evening than he thought. Uh,
there'll be a lot of speed wrapping at the LAPD headquarters.
They're going to go over it again and again and again,
(11:58):
and he's probably gonna be charge charged with a lot
of the driving infractions, you know, going the wrong way, speeding,
driving on the shoulder, blowing through red lights. A lot
of that will be added on to his time. So
if if that's your dad, your uncle, your brother.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
I wouldn't set a plate for him tonight or until
maybe Thanksgiving. He probably won't be on for a while.
They decided to run away from the cops. Great entertainment,
glad nobody got hurt, but ultimately not the right move,
you know, I think it adds a lot of complications.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
To your life.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
So very rarely do they get away, and you only
see him get away at night. I don't really you
don't really see that daytime fleers get away. You only
see the guys late at night who go downtown La
slide into a parking lot or big ball and then
get away that way. But very rarely do they get
away during the day, and the cops have a pretty
get a handle on that. So we're about to hear
(13:01):
Clayton Kershaw's retirement speech. He'll pitch his last game, his
last regular season game, tomorrow at Dodger Stadium, and I
think they're playing the Giants tomorrow. Yeah, so man, that
stadium is going to be packed. So if you don't
have your tickets, maybe there's some a couple of tickets
left for a Friday night game. The weather should be beautiful,
(13:23):
it'll be warm, a little bit muggy, but it'll be
a spectacular game and you'll want to be there. I
think when Clayton Kershaw throws his last ball during the
regular season, there'll be a last pitch tomorrow at Dodger Stadium,
and I'm sure that that ball will be kept and
(13:47):
it will be sent off to the Baseball Hall of
Fame unless it's hit out of the park and then
it won't be But no, it should. They should have
the last ball that Clayton Kershaw pitches tomorrow. Bill have
his glove, his ball, his hat, his uniform, and you'll
want to see that. I mean, he's been there for
(14:07):
eighteen years. My daughter was two when he started with
the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Wow, two years old. It was in two thousand.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
I think he was been drafted in six and then
his first game was in eight.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
He looked that up here.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
I think it was May of eight and and so
he's been pitching for you know, most of Yeah, Clayton
Kershaw was drafted in six and made his Dodger debut
on May twenty fifth, two thousand and eight, and this
will be his last season. Eighteen years with the Los
Angeles Dodgers Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
What a guy.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
I think he was born and raised in Texas, if
I'm not mistaken. Yeah, Dallas area of Dallas, that's where
he's from. I don't know if he was born there,
but okay, alright, alright.
Speaker 8 (14:52):
His parents divorced when he was ten years old, and
he was raised by his mother. He played in youth
sports leagues as a child like those professional athletes, including
Little League baseball. He attended Highland Park Highland Park High School,
where he played baseball and was also the center for
Matthew Stafford. I didn't know that he was the center
(15:17):
for future quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
What a connection, and they both play here in Los Angeles. Crazy.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
Yeah, maybe Stafford will be there today if they're still
remain friends. Oh, here it is, it's on coming up
on Channel five. Let's pop it up, Robin and see
what we got here with Clayton Kershaw retiring after eighteen
seasons with the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
I can't have time today to do a justice for
all the people that have helped me along the way
and got me.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
To this point.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
So today I'm just gonna kind of keep it short
and sweet, and then you know, be able to really
tell people just how grateful I am for everybody that's
in this organization, that's in this room, that's been here
later on. But yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna call it.
I'm gonna tire. We've talked about a lot, and I
talked about a lot. Kiddos talked about it a lot,
(16:05):
and I'm at peace with it. I think it's I
think it's the right time. And it's been a it's
been such a fun year. I've had such a blast
with this group. I've had such a blast with.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
All you guys.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
So yeah, I can't think of a better season to
go it out, go out, and uh, we still have
a lot to accomplish obviously this month, and the last
thing I want to do is be a distraction to
anybody for accomplishing our ultimate goal to win in the
last game of the season. So we're going to get
through this today and then we're going to go win
the rest of the games and be good. But just
(16:42):
a few thank yous, Mark and Todd and Ownership, thank
you guys so much for everything that you've done for me.

on the field every fifth day and appreciate it. And
then uh, you know trap you have strength, guys. You

So thank you guys for helping me with that Ali
clubhouse guys, you guys are unbelievable. Everything you do for
this team, y'all are the glue for real. So thank
you guys. Dang it, I wanted to do. The hardest
(17:49):
one is the teammates. So I'm not even gonna look
at you guys in eye. Just you guys sitting in
this room. You mean so much to me. We have
so much fun. I'm gonna miss it. I'm gonna miss uh,
you know, working out day one in the weight room,
listening to crazy music with you guys, shirtless Sundays. I'm
gonna miss all of that. I'm gonna miss the flights.
(18:14):
I'm gonna miss everything about them. Freddy, you know what
I'm talking about. I'm gonna miss all those. You know,
the game ended up itself. I'm gonna miss a lot,
but you know I can. I'll be okay without that.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I think.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
I think the hard part is the feeling after a win,
celebrating with you guys.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
That's uh, that's pretty special, all right. I'm done with that.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
To the friends and family that aren't here that have
supported me, thank you guys so much. Everybody back in Dallas.
You guys are with me from square one, So thank
you guys. It's uh, you all saw me when I
was you know, fourteen, to where I am now, so
you've seen every part of me. So thank you guys.
Sure it's putting up with me for that long, all right? Ellen,
(19:06):
you four muskrats four and a half muskrats. Ellen sent
me this thing today, and I'm gonna read it because.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I get to do whatever I want. You guys are here,
so deal with it and it won't take long. I'm
almost done, I promise.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
But she was just kind of Ellen's way to process
things is to kind of read through things. And this
is this was from her vantage point. She calls it
her what do you call your perch up on top?
And this is what she said, this is this is
how she views our last eighteen years.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Here for my perch.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
I have been uncomfortably pregnant, nurse newborns, rock them to
sleep to the roar of the seventh inning stretch to
get their last nap in, feed them baby food pouches,
teething crackers, changing blowout diapers, been frazzled with toddlers, tantrums
and meltdowns, Chased them through the concourses a Mary Poppin's
(20:07):
bag full of tricks and games to keep them occupied,
and ironically teaching them the ins and outs of baseball,
explaining all the numbers on the scoreboard and the concession line,
the ballpark food.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
She's been there, She's uh, She's.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Cried over some really hard losses and some really incredible milestones.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
And she's watched.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Our kids fall in love with the game, with the players,
with and watching me pitch singing, take me out to
the ball game, chasing beach balls, ducking from fly balls,
spilling food, and popcorn all over the fans below them,
and she's done it thousands of times, thousands of bathroom
runs all in the stadium, and the workers and ushers
are their best friends now. So I just thought that
(20:49):
was an amazing way to sum up her life from
the stands and.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Just what she's seen through it all. So thanks, it's amazing.
That's it. My last My favorite thing. My last thing
is my favorite Bible verse.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
It's whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,
as you're working for the Lord, not for men. It's
cautions and that's what I've tried to do. Just work
at it, just work at it and love it.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
And so I'm really not sad. I'm really not. I'm
really at peace with this.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
It's just emotional and I've tried to hold it together.
I told our guys not to make it weird today,
so because I was gonna get weird if you make
it weird, and here I am making it weird. So
that's that's all I have. And just thank you everybody
here that's covered me over the years. I know I'm
not the most fun at times, so just just thank
(21:43):
you for putting up with me, and that's all. I
have thank you guys so much for being here.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I think it takes any question the.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Do I get to go or.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Send me here kind with this decision, but.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Why Yeah, you know, I think just with this last
home start coming up, I just felt it was the
right time. Honestly, Alan had a lot to do with it.
She kind of talked to me, and it just it
just felt like everything had come together. And you know,
obviously we have another month to play, and you know,
we have a lot of great pitchers, so everybody's role
is kind of up in the air at this point.
(22:27):
So I just didn't want this opportunity to pass by, and.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
It just kind of felt like the right thing to do.
When did you finalize your decision?
Speaker 6 (22:37):
We had talked about it basically all year, you know,
Ellen and I just kind of going back and forth,
and usually we wait to the off season to kind
of make a final call. But I think almost going
into this season, we kind of knew that this was
going to be it. So I didn't want to say
anything in case I changed my mind. But over the
course of the season, just how grateful I am to
(22:59):
have been healthy and be out on the mound and
be able to pitch, and I think it just made
it obvious that this was this was a good sending
off point, and it is. I've had the best time
this year. It's been a blast.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
How much did it matter to you.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
To kind of go out on your own currents and
in a.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Sea where you pitch like this? You know it.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Not a lot of people get this opportunity, So I'm
just I'm just super grateful for it. And so, yeah,
own terms is a weird thing to say, but not
hurt is nice, you know. So being able to pitch
and not pitch terribly and being able to be around
has been has been super special.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I don't know, I don't know. Hold on, I think
I can answer that. Just give me a minute. I think.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
I think we all play this game for the respect
of our teammates, and so having these guys years pretty special.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I'm proud of that, your entire career and do. Yeah,
that's been amazing. I love being here. I wouldn't change
that for anything.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Yeah, my kids have grown up here at least, you know,
we started out you know, dating to marry to four
four and a half kids later, So it's just been
we've all grown up here.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Haven't we. Yeah, So it's just been it's been a
special place.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Anticipating tomorrow night, making your final, the great.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Seasons, anticipate pitching good Dave, all right, I mean this
is not you know, this is this. This game matters,
you know for both teams where everybody's still in it.
We got to win these games. So it's good to
get this out of the way today. And you know
it'll be heightened, I'm sure, but I got a job
to do, so I need to go out there and
do my job, and thankfully I'll have that to distract
(24:53):
me for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Greedin, You're have been a mentor for so many pictures.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
What's the most important lesson you?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Hope they carried forward.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
For your example, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
I just wanted to be I just want to be
a great teammates everybody, young guys, old guys. You know,
we're all together every day for eight months out of
the year, ten twelve hours a day.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
So who you play with.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Matters, and so I haven't had a better time than
with this group this year.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It's been.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
It's been a blast and looking forward to a little
bit longer with them.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
We've heard that you made your decision, maybe a look
a month ago or so, and then in August, you
don't five and zero with a one eight or a
you're so close to that all time wins record. Was
there any thought like I could still do this at
a high level.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I'm still pitching great, But maybe you.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Wanted to put on No, I don't think so.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
I think I just wanted to be be in the
moment this season, and it's been it's been a great year.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
So I think we made the right call. And you know,
you know, you don't ever.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Want to pitch bad, and so pitching well is important,
and that's that's how I would want to do it.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, the people of this city mean to you. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
I'm gonna get a chance to thank the fans later,
I think. But it's been it's been a wild ride,
you know, and they've they've been behind us the whole
every step of the way, and it hasn't been a
smooth ride, and you know, we've had our ups and
downs for sure. So I'm just I'm super grateful to
every single Dodger fan that's come through the stalls here
(26:17):
at Dodger Stadium and everyone that I've gotten to meet
along the way. I would say it's just been it's
been pretty special to have that fan base behind us
for all these years. There's nothing better than having a
full Dodger Stadium getting the pitch in front of it.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
A favorite moment here.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
The great Clayton Kershaw announcing he will retire.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Kershaw retiring after eighteen seasons. What a career, What a
career that this man is hey, and he's gonna be
pitching tomorrow night at Dodger Stadium. So even if you
don't have tickets, go to ticketmaster, seek geek, ticket claw,
ticket show. How's your tickets? Uh, ticket me up, whatever
(27:03):
you got wherever you go to get your tickets, you'll
want to be there tomorrow night. A very emotional Clayton
Kershaw krusher when he said he had four and a
half kids. Is that is that a hint that his
wife is pregnant or does he have four kids?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I kind of thought that too, yeah, or does he
have a I don't know, I don't know what I
have a kid is? Yeah. I don't want to make
any guesses that'll get thrown off the air.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Yeah, uh we uh, we got to take a break,
I guess, right, yeah, okay, all right, We've got a
lot coming back. We have Kershaw retiring. We're gonna have
an update on the lineup. If you're going to Charlie
Kirk's memorial and his funeral his service on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona,
(27:56):
that is going to be a huge event. We'll have
more on Jimmy Kimmel as well, what's going on with
him and his disappearance from his show. A lot going
on and we're going to cover it all the next
hour and fifteen minutes before Moe Kelly gets in to.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
This seat, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demayo
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Very emotional Clayton Kershaw retiring from baseball at Dodgers Stadium.
What a sports day, Dodger Stadium, Clayton Kershaw retiring. And
then two hours exactly two hours before that, the LA
(28:41):
Kings announced that Andrea Copitar is retiring from hockey. And
so you got two guys retiring on the same day.
To LA great athletes who played their entire career with
(29:02):
one team, the LA Kings the LA Dodgers. And if
you're a Kings fan, this copaitar thing is a big
deal if you're a Dodger fan. The Kershot thing is
a big deal. Both of them huge, huge deals. We
(29:22):
don't have any audio from Copaitar, but I can read
some of his statement here. I believe there is some.
I checked the audio vault and there's nothing in that folder.
It says Copatar retiring, and then this is what it
sounds like.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
There it is you know, for example, if we're in
a fight there, the last thing I want to do
is take any you know, attention away from the team
and put it on myself. So I just felt this
is this is the best time.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
And so I don't understand it. Is he going to
play the season out? Or is he is going to
play the season?
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Oh he is, okay, all right, So it'll be great
to see Coppaitar going from one city to another to
another to be recognized as one of the greatest players
in hockey. If you missed, we didn't get the whole
retirement speech, but I have it in front of me.
They put Lakers put out a sorry, King's put out
(30:24):
a notice here on on Copatar retiring. It says here,
and I can't do where is he from? Is he
from Sweden, sloven Slovenia. I guessed the player in the
NHL from sloven is that right? Wowny's sensational to Stanley
(30:44):
cups too, So I'm going to try and do a
Slovenia accent and and it's not going to be good,
but it goes. It's not gonna be good at all.
I am a going to retire from the hockey. I
love the food here at Crypto and the beers. I
(31:08):
love the nachos also with the beers. God on the
level announcement. I love the winds and I hated the losses.
I thought we'd have a chance for another Cup, but
until we got the Cory Perry, and now we've got
no chance.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
I'm going from Chicago.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
I'm going to stay in LA and become a Ducks
fan because of my hatred of Cory Perry. Wow, happy
fifty seventh birthday to Corey Perry. I love october Fest
and Anaheim and Don Cucko's in Burbank. God is he
(31:52):
interested in local food? It seems odd for his retirement.
They are Don Cucko's and the bank has the best
the saltsa and the rice and if you don't mind
me observing two low level, you know, favorites at a
Mexican restaurant, the saltsa and the rice. God, what was
(32:14):
this guy thinking? All right, he continues, dust In the
Brown was as smart to get out while the team
was good. Our new general manager has a one hundred
year rebuild.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
The plan for the Kings.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
I love the city, good night, and this team is
not going to win. God, seems so odd. You know,
it's such a strange retirement speech. You know, he likes
local food, he drinks the beer, the nachos that he
eats at Crypto, and then he bags on the team
for getting Corey Perry. And it seems odd, an odd
(32:56):
retirement speech. Got then he said, the new general manager
has a wonder hundred year rebuild plan. Oh I don't
like that. That sounds like too long. And he breaks
it down here. The first to twenty five years he
gets to know the players, the second twenty five years
he also is going to decide who plays to where,
(33:20):
and then last fifty years decide to get the new players.
So one hundred year rebuild for the Kings. Great, gat
all right, we gotta take a break. We're live on
KFI Big Night here in Los Angeles. Copaitar retiring kersh A,
retiring Jimmy Kimmel will have more on that when we
(33:41):
come back. And also this weekend we got in at
State Farm in Glendale, Arizona. We've got a huge funeral
that will probably be attended by tons and tons of
people with Charlie Kirk being assassinated a week ago. Yesterday
