Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camf I am six forty and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Mark Thompson sitting in for Tim Conway. Junior ding Dall,
a TV host mugged in Beverly Hills, say it ain't.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
So she's sharing this story on social media and with
us to let people.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Know that this can happen anywhere.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
And she believes that what she had on a YSL
purse and jewelry may have made her a target.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Camille Anderson, known for her.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Role on the show Selling Mega Mansions, says it started
as a heather.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
You're a big mega mansion person. Do you know selling
mega mantag.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
I have.
Speaker 6 (00:43):
I've heard of selling Sunset, but never selling mega mansion.
That sounds like a very niche group.
Speaker 7 (00:51):
Yeah, it actually sounds kind of cool. You know.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That's sort of voyeuristic thing, aspirational. They call it reality shows.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
I do love watching to see what these houses look like.
I'm like, what do these people do for a living?
That's my big question. Have I made the wrong career choice?
Speaker 7 (01:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Well, I mean if you want to, if you want
a mega mansion, you have. But in other ways, perhaps the.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Show selling Mega Mansions.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Says it started as a nice Saturday night out in
Beverly Hills.
Speaker 8 (01:17):
We decided to walk from a restaurant on Cannon to
one that was just a few blocks away. Nine pm
at night, nothing out of the ordinary.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Anderson and her friend were near Santa Monica Boulevard and
Cannon when, she says, two men robbed and assaulted her.
Speaker 8 (01:32):
I could see someone in the alleyway. I didn't think
much of it, and it happened so quickly. They lunged
at me, tried to take my purse. I tensed up.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
It is just my natural reaction. And because they didn't.
Speaker 8 (01:48):
Get the purse the first attempt at the person slammed
me to the ground.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I'll like, wow, is that right? Geez? This is That's
for pretty serious? Don't you think in Beverly Hills at
nine o'clock at night you get slammed to the ground.
They're grabbing your stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Person slammed me to the ground. Ill likeuld think I
was to start screaming, She says.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It happened quickly. The men jumped into a getaway car
and took off. Bystanders called nine one one while she
was on the ground.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Police showed up very quickly.
Speaker 8 (02:20):
They took my statement, and what felt like under ten
minutes they said they caught what they thought were the suspects.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Beverly Hills Police.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
Yaw, is that right? This is pretty impressive.
Speaker 8 (02:35):
Probably helped that those bystanders called nine one one as
quickly as possible.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
I'm sure they had a description of the car. Probably.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Wow, I'm pretty impressed by that. If they really they
really capture the perpetrators.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
They took my statement and what felt like under ten
minutes they said they caught what they thought were the suspects.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Beverly Hills police arrested three suspects and identified them as
twenty three year old vlad Ogni you see an, forty
five year old Gregoria and Vaughan, and twenty five year
old Rasmic Papekin. They face charges related to robbery and conspiracy.
Anderson thinks it may have been a crime of opportunity,
but also questions if someone had been watching.
Speaker 8 (03:14):
I do think they possibly had a lookout, whether they
were across the street or near their restaurant.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Where we dined. Maybe someone who kept their eye on us.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
What a bad way to make a living.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Seriously, guys, if anybody's out there, I know times can
be tough. You can be chewed out of whatever business
you're in. Although these guys are in their twenties, you know,
But what a stupid tim and I talk about this
all the time. Okay, so you get this lady's stuff.
Let's say you're not caught, you get away with it.
(03:47):
What do you pawn this stuff? You turn it for
whatever it is, her ysl bag or her stuff. How
much can you going to get Let's say you get
five hundred dollars. Let's let's let's say you used to
get six hundred dollars. There are three of you, you
divvy it up, plus your driver who drives the vehicle
(04:08):
you flee the scene in, that's four of you.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Now you're under two hundred dollars apiece.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
You violently take down this woman, steal her stuff, and
you don't even get two hundred dollars out of it. Now,
how many of those jobs where you grab this crap
out of somebody's hand and you throw them down to
the pavement. How many of those do you have to
do to actually get any kind of income going?
Speaker 6 (04:33):
No, I will say in this particular instance, I watched
the story, and they showed a picture of the YSL bag,
which is a designer bag. This kind of bag that
she's carrying is about a three thousand dollars perpose.
Speaker 9 (04:46):
Oh yeah, so these guys obviously knew what kind of
pers she had and what kind of bag she was carrying,
because if they like, if I'm walking on the street
with my target bag, no one's gonna come for it.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
They obviously knew that this was a very expensive, high
end bag. At minimum, it's about thirty three thousand to
thirty five hundred dollars bag.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
That's new. It's that Yeah, okay, so maybe you can,
I mean, don't get me wrong. So that does change
the arithmetic, and I guess that's what's happening. Remember that
there was a high profile case of somebody having their
watch tolen.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
It was like a half a million.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Dollar roll at say lay Watches.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, and so those are situations in which they're identified.
Somebody's wearing something really expensive, carrying something really expensive, and
they and they hit it and run. So maybe in
that instance they can. But again, you're turning something that
is you know, it's not a new bag, right, so
you're going to turn it. Let's assume you can get
half of that, maybe fifteen hundred bucks maybe.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
I mean, like if you just a quick search on eBay,
if I look up a brown ysl bag, they range
from like six hundred to maybe two or three hundred dollars. Yeah,
and you don't even know if those are the real ones,
but or where they came from, you know.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
So I just think it's a bad business plan. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
And now what are you going to do Now you're nailed.
It's a violent crime, and you're probably you're going to
go to prison, like real prison, which is.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
Really going to stink.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
I do think they possibly had a lookout, whether they
were across the street or near their restaurant where we dined,
maybe someone who kept their eye on us. I don't
think it was about me in particular, but just the
fact that I had a nice person and a watch.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
She was left with cuts and bruises, but it's grateful
she's otherwise okay.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Luckily everything I'm you know, I'm going to heal. I'll
be okay. I just think it's important to talk about
it so.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
People are aware.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And by the way, I just want to take this opportunity.
I'm showing a property. It's seventeen bedrooms up there on
Camden Drive. Anybody's in the name.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
People would become more aware of not carrying designer bags
or having really nice watches on, but more importantly just
talking about this and how can we make it safer
for Angelino's.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
A police spokesperson said the sus could face charges related
to robbery and conspiracy. We're trying to confirm that with
the DA's office. Anderson said her purse was later recovered
in the suspect vehicle, and according to court records, of
suspects have been released on bond. Reporting in Beverly Hills,
Kimberly Chang kt L A fives.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Thank you very much for that. I don't know, you
know you this is where you look to the DA.
You look to you know, if you want to really
curtail this kind of thing, you got to seriously slap
these guys with real time. I don't know what's going
to happen. There be interesting to follow this case. They've
(07:40):
been bonded out, so we will see. But the other
takeaway from that is those of you who have this
high end stuff be careful, you know, Heather, and I
don't need to worry about that. I don't wear the
I don't wear the high end watch. This is a
three at best. I will not spend more than three
hundred dollars on a watch.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Yeah, no one's coming from my Amazon pants, No one's
dying to get my my TJ Max shoes.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
But you should be able to You should be able
to bring yourself out. It should be you know, you
shouldn't have to worry. It's like, oh, I don't want
to wear it. That's that's what they they tell you
when you're a tourist in many of these places that
have huge numbers of tourists pulling pulling through for you know,
cruise ship tours, wherever it might be, they go, don't
wear a watch, don't wear that. You know, that's like
(08:28):
you kind of think of it as you know, third
world stuff. This is Beverly Hills. But as you've suggested, Heather,
and thank you kind of course correcting us Like these
this is sort of a stakeout.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
They're looking for it. They've got they're looking for.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Very specific situations in which they can make this takedown. Anyway.
Bravo to the cops forgetting these guys. It's a Conways show.
Mark Thompson's sitting in for Tim. When we come back,
the real man of the house shows up, Dean Sharp
the house Whisper.
Speaker 10 (09:03):
Next you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty Love.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
When I fill in, I get a chance to talk
to Dean Sharp, figure out what the heck's going on
around the house around what real men do to I
don't know, fix up the place and repair stuff, you know,
stuff I can't do. But I welcome Dean Sharp the
house Whisper. How are you, my friend? Hey, Marcus, I'm good.
(09:31):
You know you're always setting me up as like.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
The real man. You know you're real, You're real man.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
I have.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Manly aspects to who I am, but they don't relate
to fixing stuff up around the house.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Okay, and that might be the best way to put it.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
That's fair. I just still want you to you know,
I don't want you feeling bad about yourself.
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I yeah, I'm kind of like, you know, like a placekicker,
like a really good place kicker that you call him
in and you know he can hand out Oh.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Okay, stop it you're not special teams. You're not special teams.
Mark anyway, with that guy, You're not that guy with
the one bar across the front of his helmet. All right,
that's what I'm saying. I'm like, why does he even
have a helmet?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
I can take a hit, I can take you got
one bar? Uh, Dean Sharp.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
One thing that I feel we all swim upstream against
is maintenance around the house. And wow, when you and
you know, there's a term for it, deferred maintenance. When
you defer the maintenance around your house, you end up
incurring all of these costs. Help us understand how to
prioritize that stuff and what things to check.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, so okay, So first of all, no guilt to
anybody about deferred maintenance, because I totally get it, all right,
I got some issues. Tina and I were just running
through a list of things that we've been wanted to
do to the house and we're like, wow, that one
has been on the list for like nine months now.
It just keeps getting bumped down.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
I have to know what that is? What?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
What what at Dean Sharp's house gets bumped down the list.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
All the time.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Well, I mean, there's a couple of like design ideas
that get bumped down the list. That's that's not deferred maintenance,
that's just like new new experiments. But but I do,
I've got to. I've got a couple of ridge boards.
They're totally artificial, they're totally decorative, sticking out of the
end of the top ridge of my house right and
uh they're there, Uh they're they're they're starting to get
(11:32):
cracked in them, which means, you know, the paint is cracked,
the board is cracked, which means they're going to be
inviting redwood rot and stuff. And and I just have
not climbed up on the roof to get to those
because honestly, I just keep forgetting. But I see them
sometimes when I pull in, I'm like, dang it, there
it is. Why have I not done that yet? So
you know, stuff can happen. I'm just saying stuff can happen.
(11:54):
But yeah, So no guilt on that. But everybody really
does need to kind of step up there, you know.
And the thing is, you know, you got the house
and now you're living your busy life in the house,
and it's kind of a it's kind of a inconvenience
when the house itself says, uh, excuse me. I'd like
a little attention as well. And you know, we got
(12:17):
to kind of shut other things down to do it.
But it is important because if certain things get let go,
then they can get end up costing more money and
time in the end. So we want to get to it.
So stuff on the list. Let me start with the
easy stuff, right, The easiest thing in the world and
maybe the biggest money savings that you can do, is
(12:39):
change the dang filter on the HVAC system. Change the
air conditioning filter, and I mean change it four times
a year, change it every three months. Okay, it doesn't
exist for you. It's not there for you. It's not
you know. I know they sell HEPA filters and all
this other and that's all well and good, but just
understand that filter is there for the system, keep the
(13:03):
system clean and operating at its maximum. When that filter
gets dirty, the system starts struggling trying to suck air
in when you know, against the pressure and nothing, nothing
will age your HVAC system more prematurely than a dirt
and trying to breathe all day long through a dirty filter.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
Now, where is that filtered in sharp.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Okay, well, all right, so the question is where is
the air handler in your house? Okay, if you've got
a if you've got if the unit inside your house
is up in the attic, it's what we call a
horizontal unit. Okay, then you want to find the the
return air vent. That's really the key. The return air
vent is the big air vent okay that doesn't actually
(13:48):
blow out into the room, but sucks air from the
house back in the system.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Some people are shocked to find out that this is
even a thing. They're like, what, what There's a vent
that sucks and not blows. Yeah, yea, so all the
other registers that are blowing into rooms, okay that when
the AC is on, you reach up and you feel like, oh,
here's air coming out. But there's a big one. It's
like three or four times the size of the normal registers.
(14:13):
That one's drawing the air out of the house back
through the system. And right on the other side of
that vent is a place for the filter. And so
that vent comes undone and there's the filter and it
needs to get changed regularly because you know what your
HVAC system, this is like a you know, easily blink
of an eye of fifteen thousand dollars worth of stuff. Sure,
(14:33):
that's going to run, It's going to age and need
to be replaced before twenty years is up one way
or the other. The question is whether you do it
at eight or ten years or whether you get a
full fifteen to twenty out of it. And a lot
of it has to do with you and your filter.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That's it. Wow, that's great. I think I've done this
once because I called Conway. I was so proud of
myself for having done it, and he was kind of like, yeah, dude,
it's not a big deal.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
But no, it is a big deal for me. Tempts.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Oh no, I mean it's literally it's going to take
you forty five seconds to do. But everybody forgets about.
So here's the thing. You got a phone. Now, you
got your calendar on your phone. Just set a repeating
event every three months change the filter, or even better,
you go online. There are filter companies now that will
just mail you your filter okay, and you can set
(15:23):
up with them. You just give them your credit cards,
set them up on subscription. We're talking about fifteen bucks
or something. Sure, every thirty days, the new filter will
show up on your doorstep and you're like, Aha, it's
filter day, and you just go in and take care
of it, and that way you don't forget it.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
My recollection is that they're different sizes, though, you have
to make sure you get the right size.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Am I wrong about that? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Yeah, no no, yeah, you just got to got to
go to your filter, got to you know, open it up,
take a look at it, see what size is. Yeah,
they're all different sizes, yeah, per unit, But you just
got to find out what your filter size is, and
then you order that thing to show up every ninety Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
This is deferred maintenance one oh one. When we come back,
don't you stay for two segments or not?
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Do I have you? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Oh yeah no. When we come back, we should talk
I'm going to tease this. We should talk about your
water heater and whether you have ever looked at the
sacrificial anode. Oh my god, I okay, sounds like a
religious experience. It does.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
But yeah, I'm so excited to be joining the cult.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Uh, Dean Sharp the house whisp Bery, we'll rejoin him
and learn about whatever he was talking about.
Speaker 10 (16:33):
Next, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
kf I am sixty.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
We're talking, of course, with Dean Sharp, the house whisper
host of Home on Saturdays from six to eight in
the morning and Sundays from nine to noon.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
And it's syndicated. Now, look at you, mister Syndication. Very nice.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
I yeah, I don't want you to have an other
reason to feel, you.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Know, like I'm inadequate. Yeah, and just another way in
which you've outpaced me. All right, I'm not syndicated. I
don't need to rub it in.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
It makes me sad because I can't talk to Dean
now on Sundays when I'm in here doing the news.
I know, because he goes out to other stations and
if I start talking to you, they're going to be.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Like who is?
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Like who? What?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
We don't have somebody at the station named Heathery. Dean
is outgrowing us, is what's happening? Heither I helpe you
realize that no Dean will miss you.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Remember the little people?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, exactly, mister Syndication. Anyway, let's get back to you
and improvements around the house. Now, what was this thing
you were telling us about before the break?
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Well, I was saying you know, it's probably been a
while mark since you've checked your sacrificial anode. All right,
So here's the thing you wanted to talk about, deferred main.
It's one of the other things that gets.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Let me guess what that is, all right, what's an
I guess an anode is a it's a I'm guessing
it's something that measures something like uh, nope.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
No, okay, go ahead, yep.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
So here's the thing. Uh, tanked water heater, right, regular
additional tanked water heater. You ever noticed on the top
of a tanked water here? There's like there, Look, there's
a there's a thing that looks like a big nut
up there, like a big like a big square nut
screwed into a the top of the water here. Have
you ever noticed that?
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Yes? Have you seen it? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:30):
A lot of people are like, I don't know what
that thing is. Okay. So if you were to take
a wrench and unscrew that thing, you would find attached
to it a long rod, a metallic rod, and that
that rod is made out of either magnesium or aluminum.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
That is the sacrificial anode, and its job is to
sit there in the water of your water heater, and
through a galvanic action electrochemical reaction, that rod attracts to
itself corrosive minerals like iron and limestone and other minerals
(19:09):
that are present in the water that would otherwise cling
to and start corroding the stainless steel tank that is
your water heater.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Yeah, So the rod sits down in there, and they
call it sacrificial because after a time, it literally corrodes down.
In other words, there are people who have like, I've
never seen that thing before in my life, and they're
gonna do this tonight. You know, we got a listeners.
They're gonna go out to the garage right now and
they're gonna unscrew that thing. And they're like, there's no
rod there, Dean. It's like, yeah, there was, my friend,
(19:42):
there was. It's gone, and here's the problem. The problem
is h and by the way, this is something that
that honestly should probably get checked every three or four years,
depending on how hard. If you've got really hard water
at your house, you should probably take a look at
it every two to three three years, because once that
rod is gone, there's nothing now attracting those minerals to itself.
(20:07):
They're going to the tank and they're going to corrode
and age and cause your water heater to fail faster
than it needs to.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
And that rod. That rod is just screwed into the
top and you can find them on the shelf at
the hardware store. You can find them on the shelf
at places like home Depot and Low's. We're talking about
something that's twenty between twenty and forty bucks depending on
the brand of the rod, that can be changed out
real quick and extends again the life of the water
(20:40):
heater instead of having to replace it.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, once again, like a simple, low cost thing, just
like the filter you're talking about with the HVAC system.
But if you don't do it, then you're looking at
having to replace the whole water.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Here exactly and so. And most people have no idea
like that. That's why I said it the way I did,
because your your reaction is typical, Like people are like,
the what the sac of what this sounds like a
weird culty thing. No, it's not. It's just in there
and it sacrifices itself for the sake of the rest
of the water heater. Most people have never even flushed
(21:11):
their water heater out, which is something that should happen
actually every year. And again I'm not really great at
remembering that myself. I'm just saying these things are important.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
How do you flush out the syste of water heater
to begin with? How well you would?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
You?
Speaker 5 (21:27):
First you start by turning off all the water supply
to it, the cold water supply to it, and you
shut it down. And at the bottom of the water
heater right there's that big plastic knob that has threads
on it that looks like You hook up a garden
hose to that.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Thing, because that's what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
That's what you do. You hook up a garden hose,
run it out of the garage, out into the lawn
or the water bit and then if you turn that
entire plastic little assembly you'll add that's a valve, you're
actually opening it and the water heater will drain out.
And what's the importance of that is that all of
this funeral stuff that builds up that settles at the
bottom of the water here, you get that out of
(22:03):
there before it clings to the water heater and actually
becomes a problem.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Good stuff, always good stuff from Dean Sharp, the house whisperer.
There's so much more and you can get it with
Dean this weekend, Saturday six to eight home and Sunday
nine to noon Home, Syndicated on kog O. Gosh, look
(22:30):
at you, Dean Sharp. I remember when you were just
like the new guy doing this show on k KFI,
and you you're really good. And then people started to
notice you. You picked up some momentum and now you're
you're a fixture and you're syndicated and life is good.
Speaker 7 (22:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
I still like to introduce myself as the rookie and
the other day somebody's like, hey, you're not a rookie.
You've been here for nine and a half years. Like,
oh my goodness.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
It's nice to you.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You are you kept the humble and you kind of
it's good to kind of think of yourself that way. Probably,
so that's that's what adds to your charm. Anyway, we
love talking to you. Stay in touch and uh, we'll
be listening this weekend. Congrats on everything, man.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
I'll be listening silently here.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Dean, just Y, Well, you and I, You and I
are going to talk off the air, Heather, you will
talk off that's a really good tip.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Thanks Dean, Dean Sharp, Thanks guys. That house whisperer. Heather
Brooker actually has a podcast. Well, every American has a podcast.
Don't say, Heather, It's really true. Yes I have one,
you have one. Probably everybody listening has one. But I
want to hear about yours, and we'll get into it
a little bit when we come back.
Speaker 10 (23:43):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
The Eric Menendez a parole hearing. Let's go to this
is NBC four. I think with the latest.
Speaker 11 (23:55):
I mean what the District Attorney was highlighting the Deputy
DA this appears to be criminal behavior. You had a
cell phone you shouldn't have had, and you hit it
by carving out a section of a book in which
to hide it. So apparently these violations really did add up,
and it's going to play and has played a factor
(24:15):
in the decision made today a ten hour parole hearing,
we only expected to go on a short period of time.
But again, Eric Menendez's first time out facing a parole
board after the murders thirty six years ago. Last night
on North Elm Drive in Beverly Hills. He has failed
(24:37):
in his attempt to walk out of prison. He won't
get another chance for at least three years.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So there you have at Eric Menendez denied parole. And
this was a case, i'd suggest parole hearing animated in effect,
lifted up by the Netflix series. I understand that there
were victim statements the rest of the family. There were
twenty different Menendez family members, all of them a considered victims.
They have to be heard in this hearing, so they
(25:03):
go through all of that. But I would suggest, respectfully,
none of this would have happened without the Netflix series.
And this was a case that was decided long ago.
It's a gruesome case, and there's every bit of admission
on the part of the brothers as to what happened.
And then it was a question of, you know, was
(25:24):
there abuse in the case? Was there a history of abuse?
And there's all this stuff that was sort of, if
you will, beginning to cloud some of the horrible ness
that was associated with the case. And so with the
Netflix series, all of the questions around whether these two
(25:47):
were actually abused, what should happen to them?
Speaker 7 (25:50):
Have they served enough time?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
And let's not forget they sort of took on a
celebrity status. I mean more than sort of. This is
a very high profile case. One or both of them
got married while they were in there. I mean it
was and they continue in prison and have to be
among the higher profile prisoners there. But again the parole
(26:16):
board pushing back on the question of should there be
parole granted after these many years that they've spent decades
in prison. I wanted to I guess that Chris Merrill
is joining, He is filling in for mo Kelly. He
(26:37):
will join in a moment if he hasn't already. I
am indeed in a way I didn't. Maybe i'd bought
into it, you know, the question of whether or not
they'd actually be granted parole. I would have thought it
way more than a long shot, you know. But I
think all of the media hype around it and the anticipation.
(26:57):
As I say this, it was a ten hour parole hearing,
I thought, I don't know, maybe it's possible. I mean,
it's like, you feel like we're in kind of strange times.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
U Yeah, I was.
Speaker 12 (27:10):
I was thinking about sort of how the parole board
came down on him real hard. For the cell phone,
and they were like, this is criminal behavior, isn't that?
Isn't that funny to think about how the rules are
completely different when you're inside now versus here. I mean
if if you and I were told you can't have
your cell phone on the desk when you're on the air, right, uh,
and we got caught with that, the boss would say, Thompson,
(27:32):
I told you get that cell phone off the desk
while you're on the air. But in this case, the
guy loses his freedom for another three years, right, just
for not having his cell phone. I mean, it's it's
completely different set of rules, you know, and he's I mean,
the parole board.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
I'm not second guessing them.
Speaker 12 (27:46):
I'm just marveling at how how different it is when
you're on the inside versus the outside. I did see
a little a note though, that now that parole has denied,
this is from NBC's Well, now that paroles denied, attorneys
for Eric Menendez can request board review of the case
for errors of fact, and then the full parole board
would review the case and make a determination at one
(28:08):
of their monthly meetings. So the door is not completely
closed for Eric. But what do you suppose this pretends
for Lyle.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, I again, I'm gonna I'm gonna get to that
Lyle thing in about forty five seconds. By way of this,
your example of the cell phone, which was cited in
the parole hearing, which is I think a good example
of something that they call out and I think that
might have been stay with me the hook on which
(28:39):
they hung passing on parole. In other words, they're looking
to reverse engineer a decision they've made, which is, we're
not going to let these guys out man.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
Are hundred percent agree?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, and so I don't know what you got to find,
cell phone, this, that, whatever, but these guys are not
walking free.
Speaker 12 (28:57):
One hundred percent agree with your assessment. I thought they're
finding something that they can say. No, let's put this
to bed. I'm tired of the phone calls. I'm tired
of the documentaries. I'm tired of Hakman calling us a
you know, at all hours of the night, telling us calling.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
Them out right. I one hundred percent agree.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
With you, Mark, Yeah, yeah, so more Chris Merrill, Yeah,
pretty wise, frer Age. I would I'll look forward to
hearing more from Chris Merril. As he continues, I always
love talking to you, my friend.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
Thanks.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Mark Thompson sitting in for Tim Conway. Junior ding Dall,
a TV host mugged in Beverly Hills, say it ain't.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
So she's sharing this story on social media and with
us to let people.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Know that this can happen anywhere.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
And she believes that what she had on a YSL
purse and jewelry may have made her a target.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Camille Anderson, known for her.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Role on the show Selling Mega Mansions, says it started
as a heather.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
You're a big mega mansion person. Do you know selling
mega mantag.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
I have.
Speaker 6 (00:43):
I've heard of selling Sunset, but never selling mega mansion.
That sounds like a very niche group.
Speaker 7 (00:51):
Yeah, it actually sounds kind of cool. You know.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That's sort of voyeuristic thing, aspirational. They call it reality shows.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
I do love watching to see what these houses look like.
I'm like, what do these people do for a living?
That's my big question. Have I made the wrong career choice?
Speaker 7 (01:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Well, I mean if you want to, if you want
a mega mansion, you have. But in other ways, perhaps the.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Show selling Mega Mansions.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Says it started as a nice Saturday night out in
Beverly Hills.
Speaker 8 (01:17):
We decided to walk from a restaurant on Cannon to
one that was just a few blocks away. Nine pm
at night, nothing out of the ordinary.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Anderson and her friend were near Santa Monica Boulevard and
Cannon when, she says, two men robbed and assaulted her.
Speaker 8 (01:32):
I could see someone in the alleyway. I didn't think
much of it, and it happened so quickly. They lunged
at me, tried to take my purse. I tensed up.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
It is just my natural reaction. And because they didn't.
Speaker 8 (01:48):
Get the purse the first attempt at the person slammed
me to the ground.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I'll like, wow, is that right? Geez? This is That's
for pretty serious? Don't you think in Beverly Hills at
nine o'clock at night you get slammed to the ground.
They're grabbing your stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Person slammed me to the ground. Ill likeuld think I
was to start screaming, She says.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It happened quickly. The men jumped into a getaway car
and took off. Bystanders called nine one one while she
was on the ground.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Police showed up very quickly.
Speaker 8 (02:20):
They took my statement, and what felt like under ten
minutes they said they caught what they thought were the suspects.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Beverly Hills Police.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
Yaw, is that right? This is pretty impressive.
Speaker 8 (02:35):
Probably helped that those bystanders called nine one one as
quickly as possible.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
I'm sure they had a description of the car. Probably.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Wow, I'm pretty impressed by that. If they really they
really capture the perpetrators.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
They took my statement and what felt like under ten
minutes they said they caught what they thought were the suspects.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Beverly Hills police arrested three suspects and identified them as
twenty three year old vlad Ogni you see an, forty
five year old Gregoria and Vaughan, and twenty five year
old Rasmic Papekin. They face charges related to robbery and conspiracy.
Anderson thinks it may have been a crime of opportunity,
but also questions if someone had been watching.
Speaker 8 (03:14):
I do think they possibly had a lookout, whether they
were across the street or near their restaurant.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Where we dined. Maybe someone who kept their eye on us.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
What a bad way to make a living.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Seriously, guys, if anybody's out there, I know times can
be tough. You can be chewed out of whatever business
you're in. Although these guys are in their twenties, you know,
But what a stupid tim and I talk about this
all the time. Okay, so you get this lady's stuff.
Let's say you're not caught, you get away with it.
(03:47):
What do you pawn this stuff? You turn it for
whatever it is, her ysl bag or her stuff. How
much can you going to get Let's say you get
five hundred dollars. Let's let's let's say you used to
get six hundred dollars. There are three of you, you
divvy it up, plus your driver who drives the vehicle
(04:08):
you flee the scene in, that's four of you.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Now you're under two hundred dollars apiece.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
You violently take down this woman, steal her stuff, and
you don't even get two hundred dollars out of it. Now,
how many of those jobs where you grab this crap
out of somebody's hand and you throw them down to
the pavement. How many of those do you have to
do to actually get any kind of income going?
Speaker 6 (04:33):
No, I will say in this particular instance, I watched
the story, and they showed a picture of the YSL bag,
which is a designer bag. This kind of bag that
she's carrying is about a three thousand dollars perpose.
Speaker 9 (04:46):
Oh yeah, so these guys obviously knew what kind of
pers she had and what kind of bag she was carrying,
because if they like, if I'm walking on the street
with my target bag, no one's gonna come for it.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
They obviously knew that this was a very expensive, high
end bag. At minimum, it's about thirty three thousand to
thirty five hundred dollars bag.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
That's new. It's that Yeah, okay, so maybe you can,
I mean, don't get me wrong. So that does change
the arithmetic, and I guess that's what's happening. Remember that
there was a high profile case of somebody having their
watch tolen.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
It was like a half a million.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Dollar roll at say lay Watches.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, and so those are situations in which they're identified.
Somebody's wearing something really expensive, carrying something really expensive, and
they and they hit it and run. So maybe in
that instance they can. But again, you're turning something that
is you know, it's not a new bag, right, so
you're going to turn it. Let's assume you can get
half of that, maybe fifteen hundred bucks maybe.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
I mean, like if you just a quick search on eBay,
if I look up a brown ysl bag, they range
from like six hundred to maybe two or three hundred dollars. Yeah,
and you don't even know if those are the real ones,
but or where they came from, you know.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
So I just think it's a bad business plan. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
And now what are you going to do Now you're nailed.
It's a violent crime, and you're probably you're going to
go to prison, like real prison, which is.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
Really going to stink.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
I do think they possibly had a lookout, whether they
were across the street or near their restaurant where we dined,
maybe someone who kept their eye on us. I don't
think it was about me in particular, but just the
fact that I had a nice person and a watch.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
She was left with cuts and bruises, but it's grateful
she's otherwise okay.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Luckily everything I'm you know, I'm going to heal. I'll
be okay. I just think it's important to talk about
it so.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
People are aware.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And by the way, I just want to take this opportunity.
I'm showing a property. It's seventeen bedrooms up there on
Camden Drive. Anybody's in the name.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
People would become more aware of not carrying designer bags
or having really nice watches on, but more importantly just
talking about this and how can we make it safer
for Angelino's.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
A police spokesperson said the sus could face charges related
to robbery and conspiracy. We're trying to confirm that with
the DA's office. Anderson said her purse was later recovered
in the suspect vehicle, and according to court records, of
suspects have been released on bond. Reporting in Beverly Hills,
Kimberly Chang kt L A fives.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Thank you very much for that. I don't know, you
know you this is where you look to the DA.
You look to you know, if you want to really
curtail this kind of thing, you got to seriously slap
these guys with real time. I don't know what's going
to happen. There be interesting to follow this case. They've
(07:40):
been bonded out, so we will see. But the other
takeaway from that is those of you who have this
high end stuff be careful, you know, Heather, and I
don't need to worry about that. I don't wear the
I don't wear the high end watch. This is a
three at best. I will not spend more than three
hundred dollars on a watch.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Yeah, no one's coming from my Amazon pants, No one's
dying to get my my TJ Max shoes.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
But you should be able to You should be able
to bring yourself out. It should be you know, you
shouldn't have to worry. It's like, oh, I don't want
to wear it. That's that's what they they tell you
when you're a tourist in many of these places that
have huge numbers of tourists pulling pulling through for you know,
cruise ship tours, wherever it might be, they go, don't
wear a watch, don't wear that. You know, that's like
(08:28):
you kind of think of it as you know, third
world stuff. This is Beverly Hills. But as you've suggested, Heather,
and thank you kind of course correcting us Like these
this is sort of a stakeout.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
They're looking for it. They've got they're looking for.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Very specific situations in which they can make this takedown. Anyway.
Bravo to the cops forgetting these guys. It's a Conways show.
Mark Thompson's sitting in for Tim. When we come back,
the real man of the house shows up, Dean Sharp
the house Whisper.
Speaker 10 (09:03):
Next you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty Love.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
When I fill in, I get a chance to talk
to Dean Sharp, figure out what the heck's going on
around the house around what real men do to I
don't know, fix up the place and repair stuff, you know,
stuff I can't do. But I welcome Dean Sharp the
house Whisper. How are you, my friend? Hey, Marcus, I'm good.
(09:31):
You know you're always setting me up as like.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
The real man. You know you're real, You're real man.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
I have.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Manly aspects to who I am, but they don't relate
to fixing stuff up around the house.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Okay, and that might be the best way to put it.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
That's fair. I just still want you to you know,
I don't want you feeling bad about yourself.
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I yeah, I'm kind of like, you know, like a placekicker,
like a really good place kicker that you call him
in and you know he can hand out Oh.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Okay, stop it you're not special teams. You're not special teams.
Mark anyway, with that guy, You're not that guy with
the one bar across the front of his helmet. All right,
that's what I'm saying. I'm like, why does he even
have a helmet?
Speaker 7 (10:16):
I can take a hit, I can take you got
one bar? Uh, Dean Sharp.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
One thing that I feel we all swim upstream against
is maintenance around the house. And wow, when you and
you know, there's a term for it, deferred maintenance. When
you defer the maintenance around your house, you end up
incurring all of these costs. Help us understand how to
prioritize that stuff and what things to check.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, so okay, So first of all, no guilt to
anybody about deferred maintenance, because I totally get it, all right,
I got some issues. Tina and I were just running
through a list of things that we've been wanted to
do to the house and we're like, wow, that one
has been on the list for like nine months now.
It just keeps getting bumped down.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
I have to know what that is? What?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
What what at Dean Sharp's house gets bumped down the list.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
All the time.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Well, I mean, there's a couple of like design ideas
that get bumped down the list. That's that's not deferred maintenance,
that's just like new new experiments. But but I do,
I've got to. I've got a couple of ridge boards.
They're totally artificial, they're totally decorative, sticking out of the
end of the top ridge of my house right and
uh they're there, Uh they're they're they're starting to get
(11:32):
cracked in them, which means, you know, the paint is cracked,
the board is cracked, which means they're going to be
inviting redwood rot and stuff. And and I just have
not climbed up on the roof to get to those
because honestly, I just keep forgetting. But I see them
sometimes when I pull in, I'm like, dang it, there
it is. Why have I not done that yet? So
you know, stuff can happen. I'm just saying stuff can happen.
(11:54):
But yeah, So no guilt on that. But everybody really
does need to kind of step up there, you know.
And the thing is, you know, you got the house
and now you're living your busy life in the house,
and it's kind of a it's kind of a inconvenience
when the house itself says, uh, excuse me. I'd like
a little attention as well. And you know, we got
(12:17):
to kind of shut other things down to do it.
But it is important because if certain things get let go,
then they can get end up costing more money and
time in the end. So we want to get to it.
So stuff on the list. Let me start with the
easy stuff, right, The easiest thing in the world and
maybe the biggest money savings that you can do, is
(12:39):
change the dang filter on the HVAC system. Change the
air conditioning filter, and I mean change it four times
a year, change it every three months. Okay, it doesn't
exist for you. It's not there for you. It's not
you know. I know they sell HEPA filters and all
this other and that's all well and good, but just
understand that filter is there for the system, keep the
(13:03):
system clean and operating at its maximum. When that filter
gets dirty, the system starts struggling trying to suck air
in when you know, against the pressure and nothing, nothing
will age your HVAC system more prematurely than a dirt
and trying to breathe all day long through a dirty filter.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
Now, where is that filtered in sharp.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Okay, well, all right, so the question is where is
the air handler in your house? Okay, if you've got
a if you've got if the unit inside your house
is up in the attic, it's what we call a
horizontal unit. Okay, then you want to find the the
return air vent. That's really the key. The return air
vent is the big air vent okay that doesn't actually
(13:48):
blow out into the room, but sucks air from the
house back in the system.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Some people are shocked to find out that this is
even a thing. They're like, what, what There's a vent
that sucks and not blows. Yeah, yea, so all the
other registers that are blowing into rooms, okay that when
the AC is on, you reach up and you feel like, oh,
here's air coming out. But there's a big one. It's
like three or four times the size of the normal registers.
(14:13):
That one's drawing the air out of the house back
through the system. And right on the other side of
that vent is a place for the filter. And so
that vent comes undone and there's the filter and it
needs to get changed regularly because you know what your
HVAC system, this is like a you know, easily blink
of an eye of fifteen thousand dollars worth of stuff. Sure,
(14:33):
that's going to run, It's going to age and need
to be replaced before twenty years is up one way
or the other. The question is whether you do it
at eight or ten years or whether you get a
full fifteen to twenty out of it. And a lot
of it has to do with you and your filter.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That's it. Wow, that's great. I think I've done this
once because I called Conway. I was so proud of
myself for having done it, and he was kind of like, yeah, dude,
it's not a big deal.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
But no, it is a big deal for me. Tempts.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Oh no, I mean it's literally it's going to take
you forty five seconds to do. But everybody forgets about.
So here's the thing. You got a phone. Now, you
got your calendar on your phone. Just set a repeating
event every three months change the filter, or even better,
you go online. There are filter companies now that will
just mail you your filter okay, and you can set
(15:23):
up with them. You just give them your credit cards,
set them up on subscription. We're talking about fifteen bucks
or something. Sure, every thirty days, the new filter will
show up on your doorstep and you're like, Aha, it's
filter day, and you just go in and take care
of it, and that way you don't forget it.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
My recollection is that they're different sizes, though, you have
to make sure you get the right size.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Am I wrong about that? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Yeah, no no, yeah, you just got to got to
go to your filter, got to you know, open it up,
take a look at it, see what size is. Yeah,
they're all different sizes, yeah, per unit, But you just
got to find out what your filter size is, and
then you order that thing to show up every ninety Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
This is deferred maintenance one oh one. When we come back,
don't you stay for two segments or not?
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Do I have you? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Oh yeah no. When we come back, we should talk
I'm going to tease this. We should talk about your
water heater and whether you have ever looked at the
sacrificial anode. Oh my god, I okay, sounds like a
religious experience. It does.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
But yeah, I'm so excited to be joining the cult.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Uh, Dean Sharp the house whisp Bery, we'll rejoin him
and learn about whatever he was talking about.
Speaker 10 (16:33):
Next, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
kf I am sixty.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
We're talking, of course, with Dean Sharp, the house whisper
host of Home on Saturdays from six to eight in
the morning and Sundays from nine to noon.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
And it's syndicated. Now, look at you, mister Syndication. Very nice.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
I yeah, I don't want you to have an other
reason to feel, you.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Know, like I'm inadequate. Yeah, and just another way in
which you've outpaced me. All right, I'm not syndicated. I
don't need to rub it in.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
It makes me sad because I can't talk to Dean
now on Sundays when I'm in here doing the news.
I know, because he goes out to other stations and
if I start talking to you, they're going to be.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Like who is?
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Like who? What?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
We don't have somebody at the station named Heathery. Dean
is outgrowing us, is what's happening? Heither I helpe you
realize that no Dean will miss you.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Remember the little people?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, exactly, mister Syndication. Anyway, let's get back to you
and improvements around the house. Now, what was this thing
you were telling us about before the break?
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Well, I was saying you know, it's probably been a
while mark since you've checked your sacrificial anode. All right,
So here's the thing you wanted to talk about, deferred main.
It's one of the other things that gets.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Let me guess what that is, all right, what's an
I guess an anode is a it's a I'm guessing
it's something that measures something like uh, nope.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
No, okay, go ahead, yep.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
So here's the thing. Uh, tanked water heater, right, regular
additional tanked water heater. You ever noticed on the top
of a tanked water here? There's like there, Look, there's
a there's a thing that looks like a big nut
up there, like a big like a big square nut
screwed into a the top of the water here. Have
you ever noticed that?
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Yes? Have you seen it? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:30):
A lot of people are like, I don't know what
that thing is. Okay. So if you were to take
a wrench and unscrew that thing, you would find attached
to it a long rod, a metallic rod, and that
that rod is made out of either magnesium or aluminum.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
That is the sacrificial anode, and its job is to
sit there in the water of your water heater, and
through a galvanic action electrochemical reaction, that rod attracts to
itself corrosive minerals like iron and limestone and other minerals
(19:09):
that are present in the water that would otherwise cling
to and start corroding the stainless steel tank that is
your water heater.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Yeah, So the rod sits down in there, and they
call it sacrificial because after a time, it literally corrodes down.
In other words, there are people who have like, I've
never seen that thing before in my life, and they're
gonna do this tonight. You know, we got a listeners.
They're gonna go out to the garage right now and
they're gonna unscrew that thing. And they're like, there's no
rod there, Dean. It's like, yeah, there was, my friend,
(19:42):
there was. It's gone, and here's the problem. The problem
is h and by the way, this is something that
that honestly should probably get checked every three or four years,
depending on how hard. If you've got really hard water
at your house, you should probably take a look at
it every two to three three years, because once that
rod is gone, there's nothing now attracting those minerals to itself.
(20:07):
They're going to the tank and they're going to corrode
and age and cause your water heater to fail faster
than it needs to.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
And that rod. That rod is just screwed into the
top and you can find them on the shelf at
the hardware store. You can find them on the shelf
at places like home Depot and Low's. We're talking about
something that's twenty between twenty and forty bucks depending on
the brand of the rod, that can be changed out
real quick and extends again the life of the water
(20:40):
heater instead of having to replace it.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, once again, like a simple, low cost thing, just
like the filter you're talking about with the HVAC system.
But if you don't do it, then you're looking at
having to replace the whole water.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Here exactly and so. And most people have no idea
like that. That's why I said it the way I did,
because your your reaction is typical, Like people are like,
the what the sac of what this sounds like a
weird culty thing. No, it's not. It's just in there
and it sacrifices itself for the sake of the rest
of the water heater. Most people have never even flushed
(21:11):
their water heater out, which is something that should happen
actually every year. And again I'm not really great at
remembering that myself. I'm just saying these things are important.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
How do you flush out the syste of water heater
to begin with? How well you would?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
You?
Speaker 5 (21:27):
First you start by turning off all the water supply
to it, the cold water supply to it, and you
shut it down. And at the bottom of the water
heater right there's that big plastic knob that has threads
on it that looks like You hook up a garden
hose to that.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Thing, because that's what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
That's what you do. You hook up a garden hose,
run it out of the garage, out into the lawn
or the water bit and then if you turn that
entire plastic little assembly you'll add that's a valve, you're
actually opening it and the water heater will drain out.
And what's the importance of that is that all of
this funeral stuff that builds up that settles at the
bottom of the water here, you get that out of
(22:03):
there before it clings to the water heater and actually
becomes a problem.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Good stuff, always good stuff from Dean Sharp, the house whisperer.
There's so much more and you can get it with
Dean this weekend, Saturday six to eight home and Sunday
nine to noon Home, Syndicated on kog O. Gosh, look
(22:30):
at you, Dean Sharp. I remember when you were just
like the new guy doing this show on k KFI,
and you you're really good. And then people started to
notice you. You picked up some momentum and now you're
you're a fixture and you're syndicated and life is good.
Speaker 7 (22:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
I still like to introduce myself as the rookie and
the other day somebody's like, hey, you're not a rookie.
You've been here for nine and a half years. Like,
oh my goodness.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
It's nice to you.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You are you kept the humble and you kind of
it's good to kind of think of yourself that way. Probably,
so that's that's what adds to your charm. Anyway, we
love talking to you. Stay in touch and uh, we'll
be listening this weekend. Congrats on everything, man.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
I'll be listening silently here.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Dean, just Y, Well, you and I, You and I
are going to talk off the air, Heather, you will
talk off that's a really good tip.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Thanks Dean, Dean Sharp, Thanks guys. That house whisperer. Heather
Brooker actually has a podcast. Well, every American has a podcast.
Don't say, Heather, It's really true. Yes I have one,
you have one. Probably everybody listening has one. But I
want to hear about yours, and we'll get into it
a little bit when we come back.
Speaker 10 (23:43):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
The Eric Menendez a parole hearing. Let's go to this
is NBC four. I think with the latest.
Speaker 11 (23:55):
I mean what the District Attorney was highlighting the Deputy
DA this appears to be criminal behavior. You had a
cell phone you shouldn't have had, and you hit it
by carving out a section of a book in which
to hide it. So apparently these violations really did add up,
and it's going to play and has played a factor
(24:15):
in the decision made today a ten hour parole hearing,
we only expected to go on a short period of time.
But again, Eric Menendez's first time out facing a parole
board after the murders thirty six years ago. Last night
on North Elm Drive in Beverly Hills. He has failed
(24:37):
in his attempt to walk out of prison. He won't
get another chance for at least three years.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So there you have at Eric Menendez denied parole. And
this was a case, i'd suggest parole hearing animated in effect,
lifted up by the Netflix series. I understand that there
were victim statements the rest of the family. There were
twenty different Menendez family members, all of them a considered victims.
They have to be heard in this hearing, so they
(25:03):
go through all of that. But I would suggest, respectfully,
none of this would have happened without the Netflix series.
And this was a case that was decided long ago.
It's a gruesome case, and there's every bit of admission
on the part of the brothers as to what happened.
And then it was a question of, you know, was
(25:24):
there abuse in the case? Was there a history of abuse?
And there's all this stuff that was sort of, if
you will, beginning to cloud some of the horrible ness
that was associated with the case. And so with the
Netflix series, all of the questions around whether these two
(25:47):
were actually abused, what should happen to them?
Speaker 7 (25:50):
Have they served enough time?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
And let's not forget they sort of took on a
celebrity status. I mean more than sort of. This is
a very high profile case. One or both of them
got married while they were in there. I mean it
was and they continue in prison and have to be
among the higher profile prisoners there. But again the parole
(26:16):
board pushing back on the question of should there be
parole granted after these many years that they've spent decades
in prison. I wanted to I guess that Chris Merrill
is joining, He is filling in for mo Kelly. He
(26:37):
will join in a moment if he hasn't already. I
am indeed in a way I didn't. Maybe i'd bought
into it, you know, the question of whether or not
they'd actually be granted parole. I would have thought it
way more than a long shot, you know. But I
think all of the media hype around it and the anticipation.
(26:57):
As I say this, it was a ten hour parole hearing,
I thought, I don't know, maybe it's possible. I mean,
it's like, you feel like we're in kind of strange times.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
U Yeah, I was.
Speaker 12 (27:10):
I was thinking about sort of how the parole board
came down on him real hard. For the cell phone,
and they were like, this is criminal behavior, isn't that?
Isn't that funny to think about how the rules are
completely different when you're inside now versus here. I mean
if if you and I were told you can't have
your cell phone on the desk when you're on the air, right, uh,
and we got caught with that, the boss would say, Thompson,
(27:32):
I told you get that cell phone off the desk
while you're on the air. But in this case, the
guy loses his freedom for another three years, right, just
for not having his cell phone. I mean, it's it's
completely different set of rules, you know, and he's I mean,
the parole board.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
I'm not second guessing them.
Speaker 12 (27:46):
I'm just marveling at how how different it is when
you're on the inside versus the outside. I did see
a little a note though, that now that parole has denied,
this is from NBC's Well, now that paroles denied, attorneys
for Eric Menendez can request board review of the case
for errors of fact, and then the full parole board
would review the case and make a determination at one
(28:08):
of their monthly meetings. So the door is not completely
closed for Eric. But what do you suppose this pretends
for Lyle.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, I again, I'm gonna I'm gonna get to that
Lyle thing in about forty five seconds. By way of this,
your example of the cell phone, which was cited in
the parole hearing, which is I think a good example
of something that they call out and I think that
might have been stay with me the hook on which
(28:39):
they hung passing on parole. In other words, they're looking
to reverse engineer a decision they've made, which is, we're
not going to let these guys out man.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
Are hundred percent agree?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, and so I don't know what you got to find,
cell phone, this, that, whatever, but these guys are not
walking free.
Speaker 12 (28:57):
One hundred percent agree with your assessment. I thought they're
finding something that they can say. No, let's put this
to bed. I'm tired of the phone calls. I'm tired
of the documentaries. I'm tired of Hakman calling us a
you know, at all hours of the night, telling us calling.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
Them out right. I one hundred percent agree.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
With you, Mark, Yeah, yeah, so more Chris Merrill, Yeah,
pretty wise, frer Age. I would I'll look forward to
hearing more from Chris Merril. As he continues, I always
love talking to you, my friend.
