Car Prices Soar: Buying a new car is now more expensive than ever, with the average price exceeding $50,000. Price hikes are driven by luxury vehicle and EV sales, along with concerns over potential tariffs. Affordable $20,000 cars are nearly extinct. With an average U.S. salary of $66,622, many buyers take out nearly 6-year loans, paying about $749 monthly. Added costs include maintenance, fuel, insurance, and depreciation — with cars losing 20% of their value in the first year and 15% annually over the next four years.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The rain is gone, but you know what, I gotta
be honest with.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
You, gang.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We were told here by a lot of news sources,
including our own, that the rain was over at around
seven o'clock, six or seven o'clock last night, the rain
was over, no more rain, no more rain. And then
I drove to Valencia last night and it down. It
was in a downpour. I drove out to Valencia for
and it took me about twenty five minutes to get
(00:32):
out there at around eight o'clock, and it rained all
the way there.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
It rained while I.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Was in the store, and it rained on the way home.
So that was two hours of rain between eight and ten.
When I got home around ten thirty, it was still
raining and it rained until about midnight. So I don't
know what's going on out there, but we can't seem
to figure out. You know, the weather around here and
(01:00):
makes me crazy. But it has gone now. I mean,
there's not a cloud in the sky. I'm in Burbank
looking out over the mountains right now. I don't know
what mountain range that is. I guess that's what is
that San Fernando Valley Mountains.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's hung Gun that's where Sun Valley is. But I'm
looking out over Burbank and it is beautiful. There's not
a single cloud in the sky, and it's nice, crisp
fall weather, perfect for the Dodgers to fly home, which
I think they already did. And they played tomorrow night,
and man, what a game. I got home last night
(01:34):
to watch the last I don't know, maybe three innings
or so three innings, and my wife made beef stew.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
There was the best beef stew she's ever made in
her life.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
He's stew. You don't hear about that stuff anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It's not crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And I walked in I could smell it, and I
was like Fred Flintstone where he's elevating and his toes
and fingers are twinkling and he's flying with his nose
through the air, just smelling the you know, the food
that Wilma's cooking.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I was like that through the air too, Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And I ended up eating two big bowls of it,
which is probably a lot more salt than I should have,
but I said it man, that was great.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
By the way, would that be the Verdugo Mountain Range?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I could probably probably, yeah, Fordugo Mountain Range.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, okay, I'll take that. I'll take that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So I get out to Valencia, I go to Low's
out there, because that's a bigger Low's.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I would go to the bigger Lows.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'm still looking for my signature piece for Halloween.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Haven't found it yet.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Some big piece that makes me in our house different
from everybody else. I haven't found him. And then I
went to Walmart and I did all my Walmart shopping
there at the one off of the fourteen Freeway. And
it's a huge ass Walmart. It's very safe. And I
saw two different sheriffs or deputies walking through Walmart walking
(03:05):
through Walmart, and that's what I like. If they could
fill Walmart with the National Guard, if they could fill
it with sheriffs, LAPD. I don't know what was Sauga's PD,
whoever's out there. I think it's all La County. I say,
fill it up. The more cops around, the safer.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I feel. I'm not one of those anti cop, you know, idiots.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And and it was there wasn't a lot of people
there at Walmart between I don't know, maybe ten and
ten forty five.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
So it was a it was a really a cool
deal injury that.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
All right, let's get Alex Stone and sorry, Alex, I
didn't know we were connected and are stalling.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
You're you're good. You you went up to Valencia and
you didn't come by for a drink.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I was gonna come by. But when I get one
drink in me, I'm a radio guy. I have to
have twenty two and I can't. It's true, I can't.
My my insurance guys said, if I get three more duys,
I'm done.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Oh yeah, you don't want to do that. Were you
at the lower off of Bok Canyon or the one
off of the fourteen five.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
The one off there you get off the fourteen free
when you go east and it's right there near Target. Yeah,
those are big stores. That's a huge, huge lows. And
then I go to the Walmart. It's I don't know,
you've got a lot of big Walmart. Is it Golden
Golden Valley? Golden Valley. It's right near the Sam's Club.
Oh yeah, I like that Sam's Club. And they put
a new station there. Yeah, the sheriff station is right there.
(04:25):
I went there and I enjoyed that, Man, I really
enjoyed that. I love how big it is, how clean
it is. I know they've moved a pet department from
the east of the is the north side of the
store into and to the south side, and that confused me.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
For a little while, but I got byed. I got through.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
There's a good family run baseball store that's right there.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Okay, Yeah, And there used to be a Baby's are
Us up there.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
That's gone now Dick Sporting Goods. They just remodeled that.
It's all brand new on the inside. And then there's
a place I haven't tried yet.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I get good. It gets good reviews that Rattlesnake or
Rattlers all right. I believe there owned by the same
people as Stone Fire. Maybe I think it's all.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
The same company. Is that any good? It's great. They
used to have before the pandemic. They had a great
salad bar. You can get all kinds of different barbecue
and stuff up on it.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
It was good when my daughter was young.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Almost every Sunday during the summer, when my daughter was
in third and fourth grade, I'd take her and her
two or three friends to Mountainsia.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I mean we drive out there to that you know
that pitching pot that.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
No it's not RB one. What do they call Crozier?
What's the chain where typically it's the go carts? Uh,
MB one, M.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
One one and yeah, and they were too young to
do the go carts, so they just miniature golf and
I you know, and kept an eye on them and
it was just a really cool hangout there. And that
area brings back a lot of great memories.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Yeah, they've redone that when MB one took over. Now
it's all like high end. They've got a patty or
you can get drinks and good food.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, one speed, K one speed is that it's.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
I thought it was MB one one, that specific one,
but maybe you're right one. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I like the goat carts, you know, racing the kids around.
I was always pretty good at that as a young kid.
You know, I don't know whether I always had the
faster card or what.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I really enjoyed that. Enjoyed the riding round.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
They got to have batting cages there and you know
it's all the classic stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, they got it's a great hang and you get
all those tickets from the games. The kids love those
tickets and they turn those tickets in. I don't know
by crap up there? All right, we got sticker shock
new data showing the average new car costs is up
over fifty grand.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Yeah that's the average out here. Yeah, Kelly Blue Book
out with their new numbers and now they say average
price over fifty thousand dollars for the first time ever.
And yeah, they went up a tiny bit in September
because of tariff concerns and all of that and just
worries about it. But the big part of this, the
economists are saying, is that this is the people are
(06:52):
more willing now to buy expensive luxury vehicles and electric
cars which cost more. That this has turned into a
situation where in the last year or so, you look
at your four oh one k, you look at your investments,
they see their money growing and the markets look good,
and now can afford more and are driving up the
prices and are wanting something nicer. You know, we've talked
(07:13):
about in the airlines where the southwest of the world
are having to go more mainline and not low cost.
Spirit is having a hard time surviving because people want
nicer and they're willing to pay for it. If you
can't or don't invest, you're kind of being left behind
right now. Talk to Stephen Cage a bank right today,
he says, is what.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
The portion of people who are buying those higher end vehicles?
A lot of that maybe electric vehicles with generally have
a higher sticker price, larger SUVs. Luxury vehicles, you know,
those are a bigger share of what is being sold today.
We're seeing that lower end cars, less expensive cars, they
are making up a much smaller share of what's being
(07:51):
currently sold.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
So if people aren't buying the lower end cars, the
automakers aren't aren't making them and aren't pushing them. So
the data also shows that new cars and newer used
cars are very close in price right now. If it's
a Honda or Toyota, Nissan to some extent that if
it's like four or five years old, that it's being
sold within sometimes within one thousand dollars of a new car.
(08:13):
And the economists are saying at that point, the financial
sense would be, if it's only a thousand dollars difference,
you go and buy the new one. You're gonna get
a four year newer vehicle with less maintenance.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
All that you get a warranty and all that crost.
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
So, I mean there are cars in the upper twenties,
low thirties, but that twenty thousand dollars car now, they're
saying kind of a thing of the past. Throw some
figures here at you. The average new car over fifty
thousand dollars, so Fi says. The average salary in the
US is now sixty six, six hundred and twenty two dollars.
It's almost a full year's salary experiences. The average new
car loan because they're so expensive, is now six years
(08:48):
or more.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Wow. I don't know they did that.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Yeah, and they'll go eight years now in some cases.
You remember when we were growing up that you know,
Mom and dad would be like hmm, two, three years,
four if you've got too. And the average car payment
now on a six year or longer loan is seven
hundred and forty nine bucks a month. Wow, I mean
that adds up. Zip recruiter says a monthly take home
pay is forty eight hundred dollars. So a big chunk
(09:11):
is going to cars, and you got to take into account.
I mean, in a six, seven, eight year loan, you're
gonna have something go wrong with that cars. You're gonna
be paying for maintenance. You're gonna need probably two sets
of new tires during that time breaks. Add in gas,
you know, or electric whatever it is, and a lot
of families are gonna need more than than one car.
Most of us have two. If you've got kids, maybe
you got three or four cars that it's expensive, but
(09:33):
fifty grand was now the average price.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Buddy, how long you've been living in the Santa Clarita
Valley twenty one years?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Do you ever get lost? Still?
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Sometimes I can't figure that valley out.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I can't figure it out.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I mean with the you know, Santa Clarita and then
the Bouquet junction, and then you know how that street
turns around and I'm talking about Golden.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
What is that gold Olden valley, Golden Valley.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And then it makes a left when over the over
the the the river which is usually not a river,
it's just a bridge, and then it makes a left
and it goes the other way towards Magic Mountain. I
cannot figure out if I go on one way outside
of the river, the other side of river, and I
know they connected eventually, but I can't figure out those
effing streets.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
In the valley. It makes me crazy.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Yeah, you gotta use GPS of some kind. You gotta
use maps, because yeah, otherwise, I'm.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
From the sand Fernando Valley, where every street runs north
at the south, or every street runs on the west
east period.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
That way in Santa Clarita. But because you love it
so much and it's safe, come on up. I got
plenty of built. I know.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I looked at it, and we had we had looked
in uh. There's a place. I can't remember exactly what
the name of it was, but it was up in
in uh And. I'll have to tell you.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
What it is, but it was a really beautiful house.
I wanted to move up there. My wife didn't want
to live up there. She wanted to live closer to
my dad. It was I can't remember where.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
It was, but it was. It was just beautiful. I
absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I love new construction, uh And and it was great,
and I wish we're to move.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
But we've got plenty of it. You can you can
still make it happen. Bagger Sports. When I was talking
about the baseball store, Bagger Sports. Quite a baseball store,
you know, like a family owns it. You go in
and get your your kids stuff in there. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah. I love it up there, buddy. I appreciate you
coming on.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Man, you gotta pa you all right there, he goes
Alex Stone.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Everybody, Alex Stone.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
All right.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
We've got the monks coming up in a second here,
and we'll talk about the ports of LA. He's got
information on that. And then somebody abusing the public trust.
I know you find that shocking in Los Angeles, but
I think he's gonna lay a story on us over
that too.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
All right.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Months before we get into your craziness, Michael Monks joins, us,
I got two I got an email and a text
saying that I was lying about the price of the
eighty five inch television set at Walmart. So I put
the page up here. I want you to read me
what that says. That says TLC TCL eighty five inches, right,
(12:02):
it does, okay? And then what is the price. That
price is six hundred seventy eight dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
That's that it's an eighty five inch television for six
hundred and seventy eight dollars at Walmart.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Are you saying that's high or low? It's incredibly low? Okay,
I mean Krosier paid what'd you pay? Almost two grand?
Krozier paid about two grand for his fifty five inch TV.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
That's led.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, and we paid about sixteen hundred for ours, and
they've come down way down.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I feel like you can get like a thirty two
inch television for around eleven dollars these days, you can.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, it's crazy, it's unbelievable. All right.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Monks is on every Saturday from seven to nine pm.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
What I just hit me this piece of paper.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Number one rated show in La Okay, oh, thank you, please,
thank you?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
All right, let's start with people ripping off the county
or the city for sure.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You never like to hear about this, right, Yeah, it's
always fun to listen. Yeah, let's go. I'm going for it.
Let's go back in time a little bit to twenty
twenty in the craziness where people were pandemic working. Yeah,
a lot of people were forced to stay home, a
lot of job cuts were made, but the government propped
up these jobs by being very generous with unemployment benefits.
We know nationally a good chunk of that turned out
(13:15):
to be fraudulent, and that's also apparently the case for
at least a baker's dozen of employees who work at
La County for the real government across seven different departments.
These thirteen folks are accused of filing for these benefits
and collecting these benefits, and not just applying and collecting
a check, but renewing it every two weeks, basically telling
(13:37):
the government we're not employed. LA County DA Nathan Hockman
says they were not just employed, they were full time
employees collecting their full government salary and benefits, while also
telling the government that they were making less than six
hundred dollars a week, right, and they didn't think that
the computer system at La County could figure that out.
(13:59):
It took a walkile apparent there was a moratorium on
prosecuting these things under the previous La County DA, But
Nati Kan says, we've gone through the numbers.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
And there could be more. But don't you bet that
there are more.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
It's very tempting not to take advantage of those very
generous programs.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
When they make it so easy to apply for it,
I mean, it's got to be tempting. Thank goodness, most
of us are honest.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
But if you're even a little bit dishonest when they
dangle it the way they did, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Look, the state of California lost thirty billion in unemployment checks.
So how much did these chaps get between the thirteen
of them. It was more than four hundred and thirty
thousand dollars. Wow, between twenty twenty and twenty twenty three.
They face up to three years in state prison for that.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Really, so they are bombed that Hawkman's come in.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
Hawkman's not messing around even with the county employees, because
he says, look, this isn't it's bad if you're doing
this at any workplace, but if you work for the
government at any level, you're entrusted with a certain level
of sure.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
So when where is it?
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Now?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
What stage they're charge? That's it?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
They're only charge right now? And do they retain their jobs?
I imagine they get to keep their jobs. It's hard
to fire government workers, and I bet they'll be And
even if they're convicted and go to prison. They'll probably
still get their pension if they've been there long enough. Yeah,
that's quite possible. That's where we live, all right. So
let's go to the port of sam Pedro very quickly,
I'll tell you this. Let's get down to San Pedro,
(15:25):
the port of la They do this every month, and
a lot of times when they are just doing their
monthly updates on how much traffic there was. It's relatively
boring and we take the numbers, we say this, how
much has gone in, so much has gone out. But
in the climate of tariffs and domestic trade policy and
all of that, it's been rather interesting to watch because
month after month they've had record breaking traffic at the porto.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
And what we're hearing is.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Slowdown's coming, to slow down's coming, a slolon's coming, but
it has not come until now it does look like
it's finally come. So instead of saying record month, record month,
record month, the way they characterize it at the port
during today's news briefing was we had a record breaking quarter. Okay,
so you combined July and August in September, and that
is true, but September saw a more than seven percent
(16:08):
drop in traffic, and the CEO there, Geene Soroka, says
that the imports are down, the exports are down. The
agriculture sector here in America has been hit the hardest.
But there's something around the corner. Immediately.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
It's these new tariffs on China related to ships and cargo.
And if you got a moment, we'll hear from Gene Soroca.
Speaker 9 (16:29):
Okay also introduced this week new ship fees and equipment tariffs.
On the ship side, it's a very complicated series of
formulas that's meant to assess the highest fee possible. For
context here in Los Angeles, just a little more than
twenty percent of the ships that called here in twenty
twenty four were built in China or run by companies
(16:50):
based there. To current events, this week, we have only
one ship that was built in China calling at the
Port of Los Angeles. Over on the equipment side, forty
of our eighty three shore side cranes were manufactured in China.
Now that type of equipment will be hit with one
hundred percent tariffs effective this week.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
So that's big news.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I mean, the ships and the equipment made in China
that you see down there at the port right, But
I understand why they have to their the ship itself
is going to be tariffed if yes, if it's made,
if it's a Chinese company, or if it's a Chinese
made product.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I see, Okay. So that's what he's worried about.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
And what they had been saying all year was by
the time we get to Halloween, you will start to
see a decline in inventory coming in because he believes
retailers stocked up really, really high ahead of these tariffs
taking effect. Now we're here, whether we'll see shortages in
Halloween costumes we're two weeks away from that.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But Christmas, that's also been a warning throughout the year,
remains to be seen.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I noticed the Halloween store in Burbank was half the
size that used to be. I noticed on did you
find a costume? No, I didn't find a costume, but
I was looking for something else. I was looking for
my signature Halloween piece to decorate the house, and I
still haven't found it.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I always get one piece. It's big and different from
everybody else, and I'm I'm pissed off that I still
have not founded this year. I've been looking everywhere. I
don't want something that.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
A neighbor has, or something you'd see at Costco or
you know, at uh Loew's or home deep. I'm looking
for something special, Monks. You got two weeks.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
I know.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I gotta get out there, all right, Rio Soul tonight. Yeah,
I'm going out for Brazilian Ah.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, man, you get out there, you enjoy yourself. No,
I find one place and I stick to it. I'm
a loyal man.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I did the same thing until I get tired of it.
N I throw up and I never go back. All right, Monks, Saturday,
seven and nine pm. See you there, all right, Michael Monks,
seven and nine pm.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Right here on you're listening to Tim You're on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
The storm has gone, it's disappeared, and nobody should be
under any rain threat. Right down, I can't see a
single cloud, and I'm looking directly north out of our
window here in Burbank, not one cloud?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Did you look east?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I'm there, but pretty much everybody has clear blue skies.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
It's like that post rain beauty.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Oh it was beautiful.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, the hills turned green, and this weekend's gonna be
eighty degrees in most parts of southern California. Spectacular day
to get out and do something, you know, get out
of the house and I don't know, jogs.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Let's go, or go hiking? Do you hike at all?
I walk? Yeah, there's a hill involved.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yeah, it's a hike.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I'm with you. Can you hike up in the hills
of Claremont?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Oh my god, yes, so many.
Speaker 11 (19:29):
It's one of the premier places in the Southland that
people go hiking, Is that right?
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yeah? Claremont.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, so the kids that go to one of the
thirty colleges there, they hit the hills.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
They hit the hills, Mantato, Potato Mountain. And there's a
couple of us on the way up to Baldy there
from Claremont.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Any water reservoirs up there, lakes or beautiful, beautiful?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
All right?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
The storm fall out, the high alert, the quality of
the beaches. If you live near the beach, you bet
you gotta be careful after one of these rain storms.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
Got me here.
Speaker 12 (19:57):
Murky waves along our coast following the storm that soaked
much of so Cal.
Speaker 13 (20:01):
It's all chocolate on the inside, you know. I refer
to it as chunky.
Speaker 12 (20:05):
The view from Air seven showing all of that rain
runoff flowing to the sea. The La County Department of
Public Health urging beach goers to stay out of the
water for at least seventy two hours, especially near discharging
storm drains, creeks and rivers.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I wouldn't put a timer on that, you know, and
jump in right after seventy two hours.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I'd give it.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I'd give it like six months to clean itself out there.
Speaker 13 (20:31):
My roommate told us not to surf a day after
the runoff.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
But no, no, no, no, your roommate is your roommate
sounds like evil Knievel. When there's a big storm like
we had, you shouldn't surf for I like to give
it four years to work itself out.
Speaker 13 (20:49):
My roommate told us not to surf.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Now a good roommate. Good roommate, that's a good roommate. Hey, buddy,
don't surf. You're going to die a.
Speaker 13 (20:57):
Day after the runoff.
Speaker 10 (20:58):
But not everyone took the advice.
Speaker 13 (21:01):
Yeah, he's like, you don't want to get sick. A
lot of people get sick.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, you get sick, and you can die from that water.
Speaker 13 (21:06):
And then I was like the only thing that's going
to be sick are these waves?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Oh my god? We still live around that action, right, And.
Speaker 13 (21:15):
Then I was like, the only thing that's going to
be sick are these waves.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Where do you think all the homeless, you know, the
homeless guys that live in the La River, You think
they're walking three miles to go to a Denny's to
go to the bathroom, New New New, it's right there
in the La River.
Speaker 10 (21:31):
Would you tell him mahallow, Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
No, he knew the rules, he knew the boundaries. Mahallow
with that guy might get a sack.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
The only thing that's going to be really sick of
these waves, dude, The.
Speaker 13 (21:40):
Only thing that's going to be sick are these waves.
Who mus infection? But you know there's a price.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
You know, you're lucky if you just get a sinus infection.
Speaker 13 (21:49):
Might get a sinus infection, but.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
You might get a million different infections.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
You know there's a price you pay.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I mean, those guys are getting great rides and there's
only five guys out at eight o'clock in the morning
in mall.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Well, you gotta do what you gotta do. I say,
get out there, got there? Yeah, yeah, get out there
and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Hit those ways.
Speaker 13 (22:07):
The beach is not so crowded.
Speaker 12 (22:09):
We spoke to one of the few paddle borders out
in Malibu on Wednesday morning.
Speaker 13 (22:13):
I had a better view than a lot of people were.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Sometimes it was just brown, and then there were slicks
of really you know, places where.
Speaker 13 (22:21):
You don't want to fall.
Speaker 12 (22:22):
Yeah, you see, officials say our beaches could be contaminated
with higher levels of bacteria, chemicals, debris, and trash. So
it's best to enjoy the return of these sunny sokel
skies somewhere else.
Speaker 13 (22:34):
It was a beautiful morning actually, So.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
It's that horrible that we live in an area that
you like, you know, thirty or forty days of the
year you can't use the ocean because it's filled with
feces and nobody really does anything about it. You know,
we all just know the rule. You know, you can't
go in the ocean after a rain. You can't go
in the ocean after one of these uh you know,
treatment water water treatment plans blows up. There's a lot
(22:58):
of rules that you know, you know, you get to
know either through word of mouth or infection, either.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yeah, or the ding dong combo.
Speaker 11 (23:12):
Look as rare as it is for rain in the Southland.
You know that every time it does rain, beaches are
going to be closed right afterwards.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, for a long time. And it's not you know,
and don't think just because you're walking, you know on
the wet sand, that you're safe. That wet sand is
also infected. And so I would stay away from the beach.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I would.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I would say the four oh five should be your
your your line in the sand. Don't go west of
the four oh five because you can get infected. But
you know, speaking of ding Dong Leo, I heard it
on ESPN recently. I heard it on the broadcast for
the Brewers.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
They both said ding Dong Johnson.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
You know, home run ding Dong Johnson is one of
their sayings. And then I heard Rick Monday say it
last night.
Speaker 10 (23:58):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yeah, when I was a driving.
Speaker 10 (24:00):
Home really taking off its Gangbusters. Do you get credit
every time they say it?
Speaker 5 (24:06):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
But I think when people hear that, they probably think
of the show.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Maybe.
Speaker 10 (24:09):
I think I would think when you hear it, they
got that from me?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yes, one hundred percent, Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
And it doesn't make me angry.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
I'm just saying you're a little angry.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
No, no, no, no, no, you got me wrong. It
doesn't make me angry at all. I just I think
it's a huge compliment that it's taken off like that.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
It absolutely is. But they could credit you.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I don't think. Look, I probably steal stuff from Rick Monday.
You sure do you know? Foul ball out of play?
Remember I do that whenever we do a story about
like the stock market.
Speaker 10 (24:39):
And whenever you buy chips for.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Yeahir reason, Yeah, say foul ball out of play?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (24:46):
And I can tell you it is a beautiful day
out here. But keep in mind that water quality advisory
will be in effect through Saturday at five am. Recording
in Malibu, Madison Wyl ABC seven Eyewitness News.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Ah Right Beach is going to be closed or a while.
Just don't go in.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
It's not you know, the three or four waves that
you're going to get are not worth you know, four
or five nights in the er because your whole body's
on fire. You're putting feces in your body faces. What's
the rule of thumb?
Speaker 5 (25:18):
You know?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Angel, I know you're a water border.
Speaker 10 (25:21):
I don't know what you do, but I do waterboard?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
You do waterboard? Okay, yeah, what is the paddle board
rule out there?
Speaker 10 (25:29):
It's the same thing, stay out of the water for
four years after the rem storm.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
All right, yeah, all right, very good. When we come back,
I have the hottest ten zip codes. The most expensive
homes in America are all in these ten zip codes.
These are the top ten zip codes with the most
expensive homes. And I'm going to tell you something them
right here in southern California. You say, you richies are
(25:55):
going to want to listen to this, You guys that
are going to the ocean to catch some waves year,
Probably not you'll be able to afford this tasty pass up.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
On this next segment.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Tim Kates has joined us. Before we get to Tim Kates.
As a matter of fact, maybe you can help us
out here. Okay, okay, the top ten most expensive zip
codes in the United States. How many you think are
in California out of the top ten?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Two?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Okay, we got very close. All right, number Let's go
through a number ten and then we'll go to number one.
Number ten. Rancho Santa Fe California. That's number ten. Number
nine is a tie between Newport Beach and Los Altos,
and that's number nine. Number eight is Newport Beach. It
(26:46):
gets two. Number seven is up in Stinson Beach. Up
in San Francisco is number seven. Number six is Santa Barbara.
Number five is water Mill, New York. Five point five million.
It's beautiful there you been there. No, oh, sound like
you moved there, buddy, you got all that Burbank money.
Number six is Santa Barbara, California. Number five, Oh wait,
(27:10):
we already did that, all right. Number four is Newport Beach.
So Newport Beach has three zip codes nine two sixty
six one, nine two sixty five seven and nine two
sixty six two are all in the top ten in America.
They have three of the top ten. That's incredible, all right.
Then we go to number four, that's Newport. Number three
(27:32):
is in New York, uh Saga, Sagaponac. Sagapanac, Sagaponac is
number three. Number two is up near San Francisco nine
four oh two seven and the number one most expensive
place in America three three one oh nine Miami Beach, Florida,
with nine point five million, is the average house price
(27:53):
in that zip code. Wow, how about that nine point
five million? All right, let's get to these Dodgers. I
don't know if you saw the but up in Milwaukee
they all wear shirts saying built you know, brewers built
for fall. Okay, for fall, but it should be built
for a fall, because that's what they're looking at.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
Yeah, they're gonna be heading home pretty soon, and we're
gonna have a long break between the NLCS and the
World Series.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
That's not good. That's not good.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
No, they are not moving up first pitch or the
date of Game one. Really, it is Friday, October twenty fourth,
and it is in stone.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
It is not moving.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
So if Toronto wins today and tomorrow, then they have
a week. If the Mariners win, I mean, I'm sorry
Mariners win, but today and tomorrow they have a week.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
They'll be off a week, and the Dodgers potentially could
be off a week as well if they win tomorrow
and Friday.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Oh that's horrible, right, you got to keep the momentum going.
It's bad for baseball, that's right. Yeah, you can't be
off for a week and all of a sudden people
forgot about it. Right, We're talking football.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
Sunday and Monday and Thursday and all of a sudden, Oh,
baseball's back for.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
The World Series, right, And you know it's different with
the Super Bowl because we all are conditioned for a
two week period. There's a lot of activities they're going
into those two weeks.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
There's nothing but batting practices and infield drills.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I know, all right.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
So the Dodgers a full game, y'ama moto, full game
last night, early game.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Brilliant. That hasn't happened since Jazz was born.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
It was when the Jazz singer came out in nineteen
twenty nine. The last time this happened, No, two thousand
and four. Whin rest in Peace, hose lima lima time?
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Did it?
Speaker 8 (29:19):
Back in the NLDS Before that? Some guy named Oral
Hersheiser did in nineteen eighty eight? How many times he
did in the postseason? Three times? Get out of here
in the year in the nineteen eighty eight postseason, Wow,
three complete games for the Bulldog Oral Hersizes.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
I heard him call you last night?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
He did.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
He called me last night in the post game show.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Dude driving around and everybody's on social media referencing when
was the last time this happened?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
When was the last time that happened? When was the
last time somebody did this?
Speaker 8 (29:44):
And Oral Hersheiser's name was like trending because he was
one of the last Dodgers to do these accomplishments, and
so he called in.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Did you think while you were playing baseball at Burrows
and you're hitting your home runs or home run run run? Okay,
did you ever think you'd beat a position where orl
Hrscheizer was calling you?
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Never? Never in your life ever?
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Never?
Speaker 8 (30:04):
What I think the bulldog, the Oral Hersheizer would be
calling and talking to little Timmy Cage from Burbank.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
You know that I have something in common with Oral Herscheizer.
We didn't go to the same time, but we're into
the same college Bowling Green State universe. About that now,
before or after orl hershiz I went five years after
he Okay, yeah, you're you're way younger than that, much
much younger you look at too.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, but the Dodgers, who are they going to pitch tomorrow? Tomorrow?
Speaker 8 (30:28):
Is Tyler Glass now the Pride of Heart High School
out in Santa Karita.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
That's gonna be huge.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
So he pitched well last time against the Phillies. He
needs to do it again. And if it will go
to a game four on Friday, it'll be some guy
named Shohe Otani.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Oh good, what's going on with Otani?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
With the bat?
Speaker 8 (30:43):
Well?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
You want me to get like real baseball lingo is
the opening? He's not opening up his hips.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
He's got to unlock the hips and his shoulders flying out.
Unlock those hips. Lock those hips. That's what he's gotta do.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Is that mental? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I mean when it when a guy who has paid
seventy million dollars always he has a great last season,
a great season this year, and then he can't he's
not even getting close.
Speaker 8 (31:05):
I think it's physical with his stance and his his
swing in mechanics, and I think a lot of it's mental.
You're right, because at some point you guys started thinking,
am I ever going to get a hit again? I'm
ever gonna get a home run again? Why am I
not producing? And like golf, you know you're out there
thinking too much. Baseball there's a lot of time to think,
right as it dosignate a hitter. You strike out on
four pitches and you have to walk back to the dugout.
(31:26):
You're not up for another three innings. A lot of
time to stew in that.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Do you think he's not competitive enough during the playoffs,
like he's always uh, you know, tipping his hat to
the other friendly.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
I think he might be a.
Speaker 8 (31:36):
Tip of the cap to the other manager, a tip
of the cap to the cat catcher, and the Empire
tip of the cap to you too, do you do
everybody gets a tip, everybody and except the ball. I'd
like when he fouls it off the catcher, shin guard,
Are you okay?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Are you okay? He's a real gentleman. What are the
nicest guys?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Could snell Zilla had pitched a full game, complete game,
one hundred percent, so we.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Could have looked at back to back. We could have
had back to back.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
And that noise you heard on Monday night was David
Vasse yelling leave him man, No, he should have been
left in though.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Yeah, I mean, pitch count was what it was.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
He was cruising.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
And why is it always what's the benchmark there? It's
always one hundred pitches? Where did that come from?
Speaker 8 (32:18):
I think somebody just came up with that, because all
of a sudden it's become the benchmark one hundred pitch. Oh,
don't go over that mark, right, do not go past
And the other thing is you can't see the same
lineup three times. So once you've gone through another posing
to order it three times, magically, all of a sudden
you become a not good pitcher anymore so.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Right, but Yamamoto was looking at guys. The fourth time
was the heame he got to that.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
Yeah, and how about a lead off home run on
the first pitch, and all of a sudden he dials
in and then he.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Retires the last fourteen in a row. That's incredible. Fifteen
groundball outs. I don't think anyone got passed second after that.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
They didn't have a runner in scoring position outside of
the home run. They had an air, two more base
hits and a walk. That was it, and none of
them got past first. That's incredible. That's dominance right there.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Conway, did you did you watch the you know, the
final two outs. I can't tell you how depressed that
crowd was. It was unbelievable. It was so great at
the stadium. Kates, thanks for coming in, and you're the best.
Social media Where are you at?
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Tim Kates on ex Twitter at Tim Kate's Tim c Ats,
no underscores, no periods, no misters know the officials, No

Speaker 2 (33:24):

Speaker 2 (00:07):
The rain is gone, but you know what, I gotta
be honest with.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
You, gang.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We were told here by a lot of news sources,
including our own, that the rain was over at around
seven o'clock, six or seven o'clock last night, the rain
was over, no more rain, no more rain. And then
I drove to Valencia last night and it down. It
was in a downpour. I drove out to Valencia for
and it took me about twenty five minutes to get
(00:32):
out there at around eight o'clock, and it rained all
the way there.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
It rained while I.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Was in the store, and it rained on the way home.
So that was two hours of rain between eight and ten.
When I got home around ten thirty, it was still
raining and it rained until about midnight. So I don't
know what's going on out there, but we can't seem
to figure out. You know, the weather around here and
(01:00):
makes me crazy. But it has gone now. I mean,
there's not a cloud in the sky. I'm in Burbank
looking out over the mountains right now. I don't know
what mountain range that is. I guess that's what is
that San Fernando Valley Mountains.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's hung Gun that's where Sun Valley is. But I'm
looking out over Burbank and it is beautiful. There's not
a single cloud in the sky, and it's nice, crisp
fall weather, perfect for the Dodgers to fly home, which
I think they already did. And they played tomorrow night,
and man, what a game. I got home last night
(01:34):
to watch the last I don't know, maybe three innings
or so three innings, and my wife made beef stew.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
There was the best beef stew she's ever made in
her life.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
He's stew. You don't hear about that stuff anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It's not crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And I walked in I could smell it, and I
was like Fred Flintstone where he's elevating and his toes
and fingers are twinkling and he's flying with his nose
through the air, just smelling the you know, the food
that Wilma's cooking.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I was like that through the air too, Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And I ended up eating two big bowls of it,
which is probably a lot more salt than I should have,
but I said it man, that was great.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
By the way, would that be the Verdugo Mountain Range?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I could probably probably, yeah, Fordugo Mountain Range.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, yeah, okay, I'll take that. I'll take that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So I get out to Valencia, I go to Low's
out there, because that's a bigger Low's.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I would go to the bigger Lows.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'm still looking for my signature piece for Halloween.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Haven't found it yet.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Some big piece that makes me in our house different
from everybody else. I haven't found him. And then I
went to Walmart and I did all my Walmart shopping
there at the one off of the fourteen Freeway. And
it's a huge ass Walmart. It's very safe. And I
saw two different sheriffs or deputies walking through Walmart walking
(03:05):
through Walmart, and that's what I like. If they could
fill Walmart with the National Guard, if they could fill
it with sheriffs, LAPD. I don't know what was Sauga's PD,
whoever's out there. I think it's all La County. I say,
fill it up. The more cops around, the safer.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I feel. I'm not one of those anti cop, you know, idiots.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And and it was there wasn't a lot of people
there at Walmart between I don't know, maybe ten and
ten forty five.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
So it was a it was a really a cool
deal injury that.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
All right, let's get Alex Stone and sorry, Alex, I
didn't know we were connected and are stalling.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
You're you're good. You you went up to Valencia and
you didn't come by for a drink.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I was gonna come by. But when I get one
drink in me, I'm a radio guy. I have to
have twenty two and I can't. It's true, I can't.
My my insurance guys said, if I get three more duys,
I'm done.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Oh yeah, you don't want to do that. Were you
at the lower off of Bok Canyon or the one
off of the fourteen five.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
The one off there you get off the fourteen free
when you go east and it's right there near Target. Yeah,
those are big stores. That's a huge, huge lows. And
then I go to the Walmart. It's I don't know,
you've got a lot of big Walmart. Is it Golden
Golden Valley? Golden Valley. It's right near the Sam's Club.
Oh yeah, I like that Sam's Club. And they put
a new station there. Yeah, the sheriff station is right there.
(04:25):
I went there and I enjoyed that, Man, I really
enjoyed that. I love how big it is, how clean
it is. I know they've moved a pet department from
the east of the is the north side of the
store into and to the south side, and that confused me.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
For a little while, but I got byed. I got through.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
There's a good family run baseball store that's right there.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Okay, Yeah, And there used to be a Baby's are
Us up there.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
That's gone now Dick Sporting Goods. They just remodeled that.
It's all brand new on the inside. And then there's
a place I haven't tried yet.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I get good. It gets good reviews that Rattlesnake or
Rattlers all right. I believe there owned by the same
people as Stone Fire. Maybe I think it's all.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
The same company. Is that any good? It's great. They
used to have before the pandemic. They had a great
salad bar. You can get all kinds of different barbecue
and stuff up on it.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
It was good when my daughter was young.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Almost every Sunday during the summer, when my daughter was
in third and fourth grade, I'd take her and her
two or three friends to Mountainsia.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I mean we drive out there to that you know
that pitching pot that.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
No it's not RB one. What do they call Crozier?
What's the chain where typically it's the go carts? Uh,
MB one, M.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
One one and yeah, and they were too young to
do the go carts, so they just miniature golf and
I you know, and kept an eye on them and
it was just a really cool hangout there. And that
area brings back a lot of great memories.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Yeah, they've redone that when MB one took over. Now
it's all like high end. They've got a patty or
you can get drinks and good food.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, one speed, K one speed is that it's.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
I thought it was MB one one, that specific one,
but maybe you're right one. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I like the goat carts, you know, racing the kids around.
I was always pretty good at that as a young kid.
You know, I don't know whether I always had the
faster card or what.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I really enjoyed that. Enjoyed the riding round.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
They got to have batting cages there and you know
it's all the classic stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, they got it's a great hang and you get
all those tickets from the games. The kids love those
tickets and they turn those tickets in. I don't know
by crap up there? All right, we got sticker shock
new data showing the average new car costs is up
over fifty grand.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Yeah that's the average out here. Yeah, Kelly Blue Book
out with their new numbers and now they say average
price over fifty thousand dollars for the first time ever.
And yeah, they went up a tiny bit in September
because of tariff concerns and all of that and just
worries about it. But the big part of this, the
economists are saying, is that this is the people are
(06:52):
more willing now to buy expensive luxury vehicles and electric
cars which cost more. That this has turned into a
situation where in the last year or so, you look
at your four oh one k, you look at your investments,
they see their money growing and the markets look good,
and now can afford more and are driving up the
prices and are wanting something nicer. You know, we've talked
(07:13):
about in the airlines where the southwest of the world
are having to go more mainline and not low cost.
Spirit is having a hard time surviving because people want
nicer and they're willing to pay for it. If you
can't or don't invest, you're kind of being left behind
right now. Talk to Stephen Cage a bank right today,
he says, is what.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
The portion of people who are buying those higher end vehicles?
A lot of that maybe electric vehicles with generally have
a higher sticker price, larger SUVs. Luxury vehicles, you know,
those are a bigger share of what is being sold today.
We're seeing that lower end cars, less expensive cars, they
are making up a much smaller share of what's being
(07:51):
currently sold.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
So if people aren't buying the lower end cars, the
automakers aren't aren't making them and aren't pushing them. So
the data also shows that new cars and newer used
cars are very close in price right now. If it's
a Honda or Toyota, Nissan to some extent that if
it's like four or five years old, that it's being
sold within sometimes within one thousand dollars of a new car.
(08:13):
And the economists are saying at that point, the financial
sense would be, if it's only a thousand dollars difference,
you go and buy the new one. You're gonna get
a four year newer vehicle with less maintenance.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
All that you get a warranty and all that crost.
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
So, I mean there are cars in the upper twenties,
low thirties, but that twenty thousand dollars car now, they're
saying kind of a thing of the past. Throw some
figures here at you. The average new car over fifty
thousand dollars, so Fi says. The average salary in the
US is now sixty six, six hundred and twenty two dollars.
It's almost a full year's salary experiences. The average new
car loan because they're so expensive, is now six years
(08:48):
or more.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Wow. I don't know they did that.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Yeah, and they'll go eight years now in some cases.
You remember when we were growing up that you know,
Mom and dad would be like hmm, two, three years,
four if you've got too. And the average car payment
now on a six year or longer loan is seven
hundred and forty nine bucks a month. Wow, I mean
that adds up. Zip recruiter says a monthly take home
pay is forty eight hundred dollars. So a big chunk
(09:11):
is going to cars, and you got to take into account.
I mean, in a six, seven, eight year loan, you're
gonna have something go wrong with that cars. You're gonna
be paying for maintenance. You're gonna need probably two sets
of new tires during that time breaks. Add in gas,
you know, or electric whatever it is, and a lot
of families are gonna need more than than one car.
Most of us have two. If you've got kids, maybe
you got three or four cars that it's expensive, but
(09:33):
fifty grand was now the average price.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Buddy, how long you've been living in the Santa Clarita
Valley twenty one years?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Do you ever get lost? Still?
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Sometimes I can't figure that valley out.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I can't figure it out.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I mean with the you know, Santa Clarita and then
the Bouquet junction, and then you know how that street
turns around and I'm talking about Golden.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
What is that gold Olden valley, Golden Valley.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And then it makes a left when over the over
the the the river which is usually not a river,
it's just a bridge, and then it makes a left
and it goes the other way towards Magic Mountain. I
cannot figure out if I go on one way outside
of the river, the other side of river, and I
know they connected eventually, but I can't figure out those
effing streets.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
In the valley. It makes me crazy.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Yeah, you gotta use GPS of some kind. You gotta
use maps, because yeah, otherwise, I'm.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
From the sand Fernando Valley, where every street runs north
at the south, or every street runs on the west
east period.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
That way in Santa Clarita. But because you love it
so much and it's safe, come on up. I got
plenty of built. I know.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
I looked at it, and we had we had looked
in uh. There's a place. I can't remember exactly what
the name of it was, but it was up in
in uh And. I'll have to tell you.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
What it is, but it was a really beautiful house.
I wanted to move up there. My wife didn't want
to live up there. She wanted to live closer to
my dad. It was I can't remember where.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
It was, but it was. It was just beautiful. I
absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I love new construction, uh And and it was great,
and I wish we're to move.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
But we've got plenty of it. You can you can
still make it happen. Bagger Sports. When I was talking
about the baseball store, Bagger Sports. Quite a baseball store,
you know, like a family owns it. You go in
and get your your kids stuff in there. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah. I love it up there, buddy. I appreciate you
coming on.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Man, you gotta pa you all right there, he goes
Alex Stone.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Everybody, Alex Stone.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
All right.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
We've got the monks coming up in a second here,
and we'll talk about the ports of LA. He's got
information on that. And then somebody abusing the public trust.
I know you find that shocking in Los Angeles, but
I think he's gonna lay a story on us over
that too.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
All right.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Months before we get into your craziness, Michael Monks joins, us,
I got two I got an email and a text
saying that I was lying about the price of the
eighty five inch television set at Walmart. So I put
the page up here. I want you to read me
what that says. That says TLC TCL eighty five inches, right,
(12:02):
it does, okay? And then what is the price. That
price is six hundred seventy eight dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
That's that it's an eighty five inch television for six
hundred and seventy eight dollars at Walmart.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Are you saying that's high or low? It's incredibly low? Okay,
I mean Krosier paid what'd you pay? Almost two grand?
Krozier paid about two grand for his fifty five inch TV.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
That's led.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, and we paid about sixteen hundred for ours, and
they've come down way down.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I feel like you can get like a thirty two
inch television for around eleven dollars these days, you can.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, it's crazy, it's unbelievable. All right.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Monks is on every Saturday from seven to nine pm.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
What I just hit me this piece of paper.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Number one rated show in La Okay, oh, thank you, please,
thank you?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
All right, let's start with people ripping off the county
or the city for sure.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You never like to hear about this, right, Yeah, it's
always fun to listen. Yeah, let's go. I'm going for it.
Let's go back in time a little bit to twenty
twenty in the craziness where people were pandemic working. Yeah,
a lot of people were forced to stay home, a
lot of job cuts were made, but the government propped
up these jobs by being very generous with unemployment benefits.
We know nationally a good chunk of that turned out
(13:15):
to be fraudulent, and that's also apparently the case for
at least a baker's dozen of employees who work at
La County for the real government across seven different departments.
These thirteen folks are accused of filing for these benefits
and collecting these benefits, and not just applying and collecting
a check, but renewing it every two weeks, basically telling
(13:37):
the government we're not employed. LA County DA Nathan Hockman
says they were not just employed, they were full time
employees collecting their full government salary and benefits, while also
telling the government that they were making less than six
hundred dollars a week, right, and they didn't think that
the computer system at La County could figure that out.
(13:59):
It took a walkile apparent there was a moratorium on
prosecuting these things under the previous La County DA, But
Nati Kan says, we've gone through the numbers.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
And there could be more. But don't you bet that
there are more.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
It's very tempting not to take advantage of those very
generous programs.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
When they make it so easy to apply for it,
I mean, it's got to be tempting. Thank goodness, most
of us are honest.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
But if you're even a little bit dishonest when they
dangle it the way they did, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Look, the state of California lost thirty billion in unemployment checks.
So how much did these chaps get between the thirteen
of them. It was more than four hundred and thirty
thousand dollars. Wow, between twenty twenty and twenty twenty three.
They face up to three years in state prison for that.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Really, so they are bombed that Hawkman's come in.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
Hawkman's not messing around even with the county employees, because
he says, look, this isn't it's bad if you're doing
this at any workplace, but if you work for the
government at any level, you're entrusted with a certain level
of sure.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
So when where is it?
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Now?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
What stage they're charge? That's it?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
They're only charge right now? And do they retain their jobs?
I imagine they get to keep their jobs. It's hard
to fire government workers, and I bet they'll be And
even if they're convicted and go to prison. They'll probably
still get their pension if they've been there long enough. Yeah,
that's quite possible. That's where we live, all right. So
let's go to the port of sam Pedro very quickly,
I'll tell you this. Let's get down to San Pedro,
(15:25):
the port of la They do this every month, and
a lot of times when they are just doing their
monthly updates on how much traffic there was. It's relatively
boring and we take the numbers, we say this, how
much has gone in, so much has gone out. But
in the climate of tariffs and domestic trade policy and
all of that, it's been rather interesting to watch because
month after month they've had record breaking traffic at the porto.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
And what we're hearing is.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Slowdown's coming, to slow down's coming, a slolon's coming, but
it has not come until now it does look like
it's finally come. So instead of saying record month, record month,
record month, the way they characterize it at the port
during today's news briefing was we had a record breaking quarter. Okay,
so you combined July and August in September, and that
is true, but September saw a more than seven percent
(16:08):
drop in traffic, and the CEO there, Geene Soroka, says
that the imports are down, the exports are down. The
agriculture sector here in America has been hit the hardest.
But there's something around the corner. Immediately.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
It's these new tariffs on China related to ships and cargo.
And if you got a moment, we'll hear from Gene Soroca.
Speaker 9 (16:29):
Okay also introduced this week new ship fees and equipment tariffs.
On the ship side, it's a very complicated series of
formulas that's meant to assess the highest fee possible. For
context here in Los Angeles, just a little more than
twenty percent of the ships that called here in twenty
twenty four were built in China or run by companies
(16:50):
based there. To current events, this week, we have only
one ship that was built in China calling at the
Port of Los Angeles. Over on the equipment side, forty
of our eighty three shore side cranes were manufactured in China.
Now that type of equipment will be hit with one
hundred percent tariffs effective this week.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
So that's big news.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I mean, the ships and the equipment made in China
that you see down there at the port right, But
I understand why they have to their the ship itself
is going to be tariffed if yes, if it's made,
if it's a Chinese company, or if it's a Chinese
made product.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I see, Okay. So that's what he's worried about.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
And what they had been saying all year was by
the time we get to Halloween, you will start to
see a decline in inventory coming in because he believes
retailers stocked up really, really high ahead of these tariffs
taking effect. Now we're here, whether we'll see shortages in
Halloween costumes we're two weeks away from that.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But Christmas, that's also been a warning throughout the year,
remains to be seen.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I noticed the Halloween store in Burbank was half the
size that used to be. I noticed on did you
find a costume? No, I didn't find a costume, but
I was looking for something else. I was looking for
my signature Halloween piece to decorate the house, and I
still haven't found it.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I always get one piece. It's big and different from
everybody else, and I'm I'm pissed off that I still
have not founded this year. I've been looking everywhere. I
don't want something that.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
A neighbor has, or something you'd see at Costco or
you know, at uh Loew's or home deep. I'm looking
for something special, Monks. You got two weeks.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
I know.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I gotta get out there, all right, Rio Soul tonight. Yeah,
I'm going out for Brazilian Ah.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, man, you get out there, you enjoy yourself. No,
I find one place and I stick to it. I'm
a loyal man.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I did the same thing until I get tired of it.
N I throw up and I never go back. All right, Monks, Saturday,
seven and nine pm. See you there, all right, Michael Monks,
seven and nine pm.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Right here on you're listening to Tim You're on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
The storm has gone, it's disappeared, and nobody should be
under any rain threat. Right down, I can't see a
single cloud, and I'm looking directly north out of our
window here in Burbank, not one cloud?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Did you look east?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I'm there, but pretty much everybody has clear blue skies.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
It's like that post rain beauty.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Oh it was beautiful.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, the hills turned green, and this weekend's gonna be
eighty degrees in most parts of southern California. Spectacular day
to get out and do something, you know, get out
of the house and I don't know, jogs.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Let's go, or go hiking? Do you hike at all?
I walk? Yeah, there's a hill involved.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yeah, it's a hike.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I'm with you. Can you hike up in the hills
of Claremont?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Oh my god, yes, so many.
Speaker 11 (19:29):
It's one of the premier places in the Southland that
people go hiking, Is that right?
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yeah? Claremont.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, so the kids that go to one of the
thirty colleges there, they hit the hills.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
They hit the hills, Mantato, Potato Mountain. And there's a
couple of us on the way up to Baldy there
from Claremont.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Any water reservoirs up there, lakes or beautiful, beautiful?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
All right?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
The storm fall out, the high alert, the quality of
the beaches. If you live near the beach, you bet
you gotta be careful after one of these rain storms.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
Got me here.
Speaker 12 (19:57):
Murky waves along our coast following the storm that soaked
much of so Cal.
Speaker 13 (20:01):
It's all chocolate on the inside, you know. I refer
to it as chunky.
Speaker 12 (20:05):
The view from Air seven showing all of that rain
runoff flowing to the sea. The La County Department of
Public Health urging beach goers to stay out of the
water for at least seventy two hours, especially near discharging
storm drains, creeks and rivers.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I wouldn't put a timer on that, you know, and
jump in right after seventy two hours.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I'd give it.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I'd give it like six months to clean itself out there.
Speaker 13 (20:31):
My roommate told us not to surf a day after
the runoff.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
But no, no, no, no, your roommate is your roommate
sounds like evil Knievel. When there's a big storm like
we had, you shouldn't surf for I like to give
it four years to work itself out.
Speaker 13 (20:49):
My roommate told us not to surf.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Now a good roommate. Good roommate, that's a good roommate. Hey, buddy,
don't surf. You're going to die a.
Speaker 13 (20:57):
Day after the runoff.
Speaker 10 (20:58):
But not everyone took the advice.
Speaker 13 (21:01):
Yeah, he's like, you don't want to get sick. A
lot of people get sick.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, you get sick, and you can die from that water.
Speaker 13 (21:06):
And then I was like the only thing that's going
to be sick are these waves?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Oh my god? We still live around that action, right, And.
Speaker 13 (21:15):
Then I was like, the only thing that's going to
be sick are these waves.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Where do you think all the homeless, you know, the
homeless guys that live in the La River, You think
they're walking three miles to go to a Denny's to
go to the bathroom, New New New, it's right there
in the La River.
Speaker 10 (21:31):
Would you tell him mahallow, Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
No, he knew the rules, he knew the boundaries. Mahallow
with that guy might get a sack.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
The only thing that's going to be really sick of
these waves, dude, The.
Speaker 13 (21:40):
Only thing that's going to be sick are these waves.
Who mus infection? But you know there's a price.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
You know, you're lucky if you just get a sinus infection.
Speaker 13 (21:49):
Might get a sinus infection, but.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
You might get a million different infections.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
You know there's a price you pay.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I mean, those guys are getting great rides and there's
only five guys out at eight o'clock in the morning
in mall.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Well, you gotta do what you gotta do. I say,
get out there, got there? Yeah, yeah, get out there
and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Hit those ways.
Speaker 13 (22:07):
The beach is not so crowded.
Speaker 12 (22:09):
We spoke to one of the few paddle borders out
in Malibu on Wednesday morning.
Speaker 13 (22:13):
I had a better view than a lot of people were.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Sometimes it was just brown, and then there were slicks
of really you know, places where.
Speaker 13 (22:21):
You don't want to fall.
Speaker 12 (22:22):
Yeah, you see, officials say our beaches could be contaminated
with higher levels of bacteria, chemicals, debris, and trash. So
it's best to enjoy the return of these sunny sokel
skies somewhere else.
Speaker 13 (22:34):
It was a beautiful morning actually, So.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
It's that horrible that we live in an area that
you like, you know, thirty or forty days of the
year you can't use the ocean because it's filled with
feces and nobody really does anything about it. You know,
we all just know the rule. You know, you can't
go in the ocean after a rain. You can't go
in the ocean after one of these uh you know,
treatment water water treatment plans blows up. There's a lot
(22:58):
of rules that you know, you know, you get to
know either through word of mouth or infection, either.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yeah, or the ding dong combo.
Speaker 11 (23:12):
Look as rare as it is for rain in the Southland.
You know that every time it does rain, beaches are
going to be closed right afterwards.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, for a long time. And it's not you know,
and don't think just because you're walking, you know on
the wet sand, that you're safe. That wet sand is
also infected. And so I would stay away from the beach.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I would.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I would say the four oh five should be your
your your line in the sand. Don't go west of
the four oh five because you can get infected. But
you know, speaking of ding Dong Leo, I heard it
on ESPN recently. I heard it on the broadcast for
the Brewers.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
They both said ding Dong Johnson.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
You know, home run ding Dong Johnson is one of
their sayings. And then I heard Rick Monday say it
last night.
Speaker 10 (23:58):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Yeah, when I was a driving.
Speaker 10 (24:00):
Home really taking off its Gangbusters. Do you get credit
every time they say it?
Speaker 5 (24:06):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
But I think when people hear that, they probably think
of the show.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Maybe.
Speaker 10 (24:09):
I think I would think when you hear it, they
got that from me?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yes, one hundred percent, Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
And it doesn't make me angry.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
I'm just saying you're a little angry.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
No, no, no, no, no, you got me wrong. It
doesn't make me angry at all. I just I think
it's a huge compliment that it's taken off like that.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
It absolutely is. But they could credit you.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I don't think. Look, I probably steal stuff from Rick Monday.
You sure do you know? Foul ball out of play?

Speaker 6 (26:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Tim Kates has joined us. Before we get to Tim Kates.
As a matter of fact, maybe you can help us
out here. Okay, okay, the top ten most expensive zip
codes in the United States. How many you think are
in California out of the top ten?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Two?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Okay, we got very close. All right, number Let's go
through a number ten and then we'll go to number one.
Number ten. Rancho Santa Fe California. That's number ten. Number
nine is a tie between Newport Beach and Los Altos,
and that's number nine. Number eight is Newport Beach. It
(26:46):
gets two. Number seven is up in Stinson Beach. Up
in San Francisco is number seven. Number six is Santa Barbara.
Number five is water Mill, New York. Five point five million.
It's beautiful there you been there. No, oh, sound like
you moved there, buddy, you got all that Burbank money.
Number six is Santa Barbara, California. Number five, Oh wait,
(27:10):
we already did that, all right. Number four is Newport Beach.
So Newport Beach has three zip codes nine two sixty
six one, nine two sixty five seven and nine two
sixty six two are all in the top ten in America.
They have three of the top ten. That's incredible, all right.
Then we go to number four, that's Newport. Number three
(27:32):
is in New York, uh Saga, Sagaponac. Sagapanac, Sagaponac is
number three. Number two is up near San Francisco nine
four oh two seven and the number one most expensive
place in America three three one oh nine Miami Beach, Florida,
with nine point five million, is the average house price
(27:53):
in that zip code. Wow, how about that nine point
five million? All right, let's get to these Dodgers. I
don't know if you saw the but up in Milwaukee
they all wear shirts saying built you know, brewers built
for fall. Okay, for fall, but it should be built
for a fall, because that's what they're looking at.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
Yeah, they're gonna be heading home pretty soon, and we're
gonna have a long break between the NLCS and the
World Series.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
That's not good. That's not good.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
No, they are not moving up first pitch or the
date of Game one. Really, it is Friday, October twenty fourth,
and it is in stone.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
It is not moving.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
So if Toronto wins today and tomorrow, then they have
a week. If the Mariners win, I mean, I'm sorry
Mariners win, but today and tomorrow they have a week.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
They'll be off a week, and the Dodgers potentially could
be off a week as well if they win tomorrow
and Friday.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Oh that's horrible, right, you got to keep the momentum going.
It's bad for baseball, that's right. Yeah, you can't be
off for a week and all of a sudden people
forgot about it. Right, We're talking football.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
Sunday and Monday and Thursday and all of a sudden, Oh,
baseball's back for.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
The World Series, right, And you know it's different with
the Super Bowl because we all are conditioned for a
two week period. There's a lot of activities they're going
into those two weeks.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
There's nothing but batting practices and infield drills.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I know, all right.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
So the Dodgers a full game, y'ama moto, full game
last night, early game.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Brilliant. That hasn't happened since Jazz was born.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
It was when the Jazz singer came out in nineteen
twenty nine. The last time this happened, No, two thousand
and four. Whin rest in Peace, hose lima lima time?
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Did it?
Speaker 8 (29:19):
Back in the NLDS Before that? Some guy named Oral
Hersheiser did in nineteen eighty eight? How many times he
did in the postseason? Three times? Get out of here
in the year in the nineteen eighty eight postseason, Wow,
three complete games for the Bulldog Oral Hersizes.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
I heard him call you last night?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
He did.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
He called me last night in the post game show.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Dude driving around and everybody's on social media referencing when
was the last time this happened?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
When was the last time that happened? When was the
last time somebody did this?
Speaker 8 (29:44):
And Oral Hersheiser's name was like trending because he was
one of the last Dodgers to do these accomplishments, and
so he called in.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Did you think while you were playing baseball at Burrows
and you're hitting your home runs or home run run run? Okay,
did you ever think you'd beat a position where orl
Hrscheizer was calling you?
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Never? Never in your life ever?
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Never?
Speaker 8 (30:04):
What I think the bulldog, the Oral Hersheizer would be
calling and talking to little Timmy Cage from Burbank.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
You know that I have something in common with Oral Herscheizer.
We didn't go to the same time, but we're into
the same college Bowling Green State universe. About that now,
before or after orl hershiz I went five years after
he Okay, yeah, you're you're way younger than that, much
much younger you look at too.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah, but the Dodgers, who are they going to pitch tomorrow? Tomorrow?
Speaker 8 (30:28):
Is Tyler Glass now the Pride of Heart High School
out in Santa Karita.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
That's gonna be huge.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
So he pitched well last time against the Phillies. He
needs to do it again. And if it will go
to a game four on Friday, it'll be some guy
named Shohe Otani.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Oh good, what's going on with Otani?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
With the bat?
Speaker 8 (30:43):
Well?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
You want me to get like real baseball lingo is
the opening? He's not opening up his hips.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
He's got to unlock the hips and his shoulders flying out.
Unlock those hips. Lock those hips. That's what he's gotta do.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Is that mental? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I mean when it when a guy who has paid
seventy million dollars always he has a great last season,
a great season this year, and then he can't he's
not even getting close.
Speaker 8 (31:05):
I think it's physical with his stance and his his
swing in mechanics, and I think a lot of it's mental.
You're right, because at some point you guys started thinking,
am I ever going to get a hit again? I'm
ever gonna get a home run again? Why am I
not producing? And like golf, you know you're out there
thinking too much. Baseball there's a lot of time to think,
right as it dosignate a hitter. You strike out on
four pitches and you have to walk back to the dugout.
(31:26):
You're not up for another three innings. A lot of
time to stew in that.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Do you think he's not competitive enough during the playoffs,
like he's always uh, you know, tipping his hat to
the other friendly.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
I think he might be a.
Speaker 8 (31:36):
Tip of the cap to the other manager, a tip
of the cap to the cat catcher, and the Empire
tip of the cap to you too, do you do
everybody gets a tip, everybody and except the ball. I'd
like when he fouls it off the catcher, shin guard,
Are you okay?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Are you okay? He's a real gentleman. What are the
nicest guys?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Could snell Zilla had pitched a full game, complete game,
one hundred percent, so we.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Could have looked at back to back. We could have
had back to back.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
And that noise you heard on Monday night was David
Vasse yelling leave him man, No, he should have been
left in though.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Yeah, I mean, pitch count was what it was.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
He was cruising.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
And why is it always what's the benchmark there? It's
always one hundred pitches? Where did that come from?
Speaker 8 (32:18):
I think somebody just came up with that, because all
of a sudden it's become the benchmark one hundred pitch. Oh,
don't go over that mark, right, do not go past
And the other thing is you can't see the same
lineup three times. So once you've gone through another posing
to order it three times, magically, all of a sudden
you become a not good pitcher anymore so.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Right, but Yamamoto was looking at guys. The fourth time
was the heame he got to that.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
Yeah, and how about a lead off home run on
the first pitch, and all of a sudden he dials
in and then he.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Retires the last fourteen in a row. That's incredible. Fifteen
groundball outs. I don't think anyone got passed second after that.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
They didn't have a runner in scoring position outside of
the home run. They had an air, two more base
hits and a walk. That was it, and none of
them got past first. That's incredible. That's dominance right there.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Conway, did you did you watch the you know, the
final two outs. I can't tell you how depressed that
crowd was. It was unbelievable. It was so great at
the stadium. Kates, thanks for coming in, and you're the best.
Social media Where are you at?
Speaker 8 (33:16):
