maybe early forties, maybe buzz laughing.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
You know that's a sign he's had a few.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And he's arguing at the flight attendant in this big,
huge black guy comes by and picks him up like
Shaquille O'Neal style. Huge, picks him up with two hands
under his arms, lists him off the ground, and puts
him in the seat. I couldn't believe it. The strength
you have to have to pick a guy up like
(00:51):
that is outrageous. Let me see. Yeah, wait, I gotta

Okay, where are we number wise? On Instagram? On the ground, I.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Got a lot of a lot of asks come in
my way.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
So hold on, we are at while she's looking that up,
Can I just tell everybody that?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Or take a highway just reopen? Oh it did five
and thirty nine?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Okay? Or take a highway did open?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, it reopened. It was shut down because of a
crash and a gravel spilled. Highway patrol said, lanes are
open at Gateway now, but you may have some you know,
intermittent delays, but they have reopened it.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Do they call that the seventy four?
Speaker 3 (01:57):

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Oh okay, okay. And that goes right into San Juan Capistrano. Yes,
yes see, I know Orange County. I could move to
Orange County. You know, buzz around there. I'd love San
Juan Capistrano. You go down there, angel.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
All the time.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I was just there, had lunch there on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It's unbelievable the people haven't made down there. A lot
of great families, great place to raise a kid, San
Juan Capistrano. When the birds come home, to San Juan Capistrano.
How that goes? Oh no, that's a different song. That's
where the turf meets the surf at Old del Mar.
Take a plane, take a train, but please don't take
(02:42):
an f and car way too much traffic. Takes me
four hours to get down there. On the other last weekend,
I want to go to del Mar, and I looked
up on ways three hours and forty two minutes to
go one hundred and eleven miles. Couldn't believe it, so
I passed. But I wish more people would get off
(03:04):
the freeway so I can slide down there.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
But they don't, so I sit at home. What can
you do? All right?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Golf cart craze. This is all the craze going on
now with golf carts. People love them. I love them
as well. A big golf cart fan.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Whether heading to the office, but it's my daily transportation
to and from home to work, for taking the kids
to school, waving your teachers.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
More and more people are leaving their cars in the driveway,
adopting for a different set of wheels. Golf carts have
taken over suburbia, proclaims The Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, until one radical accident where you come in second.
No matter what you hit, you come in second. You
know the size of the lug nuts on the car
usually or the truck usually dictates who comes in first.
The bigger the lug nut, the easier it is to
come in first place in a car wreck.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
And we're not talking about fairways and greens of the time.
I prefer to get the golf cart and keep a
skiing Florida right outside Miami.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Biancappelli uses this all electric ride for everything from soccer
practice drop off to grocery store runs.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
How does it change your mental state of being to
be picking up and dropping the kids off in this
versus doing it in a car.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I gang, I wouldn't do that. I you know, if
you love your kids, and I'm sure you do, I
wouldn't drive them to school in a golf cart. There's
way too many people texting. And again, if a guy
slides into that golf cart, those kids at very least
(04:40):
are going to be radically injured. Radically, So please put
some steel around the kids. Don't put them in a
golf cart and take them to school every day. Maybe
you can do it in Florida, but definitely don't do
this in LA.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
I don't have like a rational explanation, but it just
feels easier and I don't know, faster.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Okay, all right, well maybe in Florida. Don't do this
in LA.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
To do it with a golf cart.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
According to the Wall Street Journal, by one industry estimate
from cart maker Club Car, the market for road ready
golf carts has soared since the pandemic, from one billion
dollars to five billion.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
At last official count.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
Around twenty ten, the Energy Department estimated forty five thousand
low speed vehicles, including many trucks, were on US roads.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
We've just seen an incredible explosion of lsvs for consumer
and even for commercial use off the golf course.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
But not Okay, I get it. It's a lot of
fun to take a golf cart. And if everyone in
Burbank had a golf cart, it would be my way
to get to work and my way to you know,
drive my kid to school when she was going to school.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
But they don't.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And you can not imagine the collision and the damage
that's going to do to your family and to you
when you get in a car wreck with a with
a regular automobile. It's it's gonna it'll blow you away.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
But not everyone is thrilled.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
They just kind of block off traffic, causing, you know,
more incidents.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
In McKinney, Texas, Paul Ernest says he doesn't mind when
adults are driving golf carts, but that's not who's always
behind the wheel.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
You're seeing kids drive these golf carts who, without question,
are too young. That's right to be driving these pretty
much anywhere. Of course, when you see that, what goes
through your mind?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Not much? That should been his answer. That'd be great
if he was just honest.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
To be driving these pretty much anywhere, right, of course,
when you see that, what goes through your mind?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Ah? Not much?
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Accident waiting to happen. There you go, nailed it, accident
waiting to happen. It is an issue where we live.
The parents are not monitoring their children driving these things.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Even if it's not just the parents, it's not just
the kids. It's a golf cart, golf card course, golf cart,
not on the roads, even.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
If everyone isn't following them.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
There are rules in Florida, for example, you need to
be fifteen years old with a learner's permit to drive
a golf cart on thirty mile per hour roads. To
go slightly faster, you need to upgrade your golf cart
to low speed vehicle status.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
That means more safety features like seatbelts plus vehicle insurance.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Seatbelts aren't going to do a damn thing on these
golf carts.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
But somewhere a safety rules in place are not enough.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You don't see changeing till there's a tragedy, and.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
There's gonna be one. There's gonna be one, and you'll
see it on the news.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You don't see changeing till there's a tragedy. And I
don't want to see a tragedy in my neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I don't want to see it anywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, you don't want to see it anywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
But if they this continues, if this takes off in LA,
you're going to see some radical footage on these news
stations of a family doing cartwheels and completely falling apart.
All right, who we got Dean Sharp coming up? Hey, Now,
design matters the most talked to them about designing your home.
Maybe you live in Palisades, Malibu, Alta, Dina and you're rebuilding,
(08:06):
you'll want to hear this Dean's good.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Dean Sharp is on every Saturday morning here in Los
Angeles and in San Diego from six to eight am,
then on Sunday from nine am until noon.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Dean Sharp, welcome the program.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
How you Bob, I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
How are you doing? Doing excellent?
Speaker 10 (08:29):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I know you want to talk about design today. I
think it's perfect timing. There are a lot of people
who are going through this stage in Pacific Palisades, Malibu
and Altadena.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean they're in the thick of
it right now, the thick of it. And what is it?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
What are some of the mistakes that people make? Are
they designed? They they settle? Or is it too hasty?
What are they what's one of the big mistakes?
Speaker 8 (08:51):
Well, you know, just across the board, whether you're talking
about those ravaged areas that are trying to rebuild right
now or just your average homeowner who is getting into
their remodel project. Number one mistake is not taking designs
seriously enough, jumping ahead, just jumping over it generally speaking,
(09:11):
and not actually holding onto it as a separate category
in the first phase of their project.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I'll tell you what I mean.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
You know, middle class, mainstream homeowners have just not been
culturally trained to do this, right. We think of design
and designers. That's a superfluous thing that rich people pay for,
but not regular people. But unfortunately that is not the case. So,
but this is what we've learned. You know, my estate clients,
(09:40):
when they want to do something to their house, it's like, oh,
we're going to add a you know, a twelfth wing
onto our house. Whatever it is that they're doing. They
pick up the phone and they call me. They call
the architect, they call the decorator, the interior today whoever.
They call the creative and the storyteller first, and then
(10:00):
we hammer it all out and get it worked out,
and then we call in the contractors to execute that design.
But the average homeowner has been taught via media and
all sorts of other things. You know, Let's say you're
gonna do a kitchen remodel. You're like, oh, I'm going
to remodel my kitchen. We better call a kitchen contractor.
First call to the contractor. Oh and you know what,
(10:22):
And I'm not saying that there aren't some contractors out
there that are good design I mean, I'm a builder
and I'm a damn good designer. But the point is
to get that contractor's license. Design has nothing to do
with it. So if you are using a contractor as
a designer, you better be really, really sure that they
really understand design and know what they're talking about. Because
(10:44):
no matter how much money you spend and how great
the materials are or how great your contractor is the
excellent workmanship, you skip over the design and all you
end up with is a really well built, really expensive,
badly designed thing, and it just doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
And it shows sometimes in very obvious ways. We went
when we were looking for how six seven, eight years ago,
we looked at this house in Burbank, and we noticed
that if you're using the laundry facility, which is right
off the kitchen, and you open the doors for the
laundry facility, you can't use the door to the backyard
because they it blocks it off. That simple design error
(11:24):
right there had us thinking, what else in this house
is poorly designed?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah? Exactly.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
Tina and I were just working on an issue this
in a tight kitchen this afternoon, and we ended up
putting a very unique spin on where the dishwasher goes,
because this kitchen doesn't have room for that dishwasher door
to be open and still functional at the same time.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And you gotta think about those.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Shoes you got to So where did you put the
dishwasher in the living room?
Speaker 8 (11:50):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah, yeah, we just put it.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
We we put a sofa cushion on it, and we're like,
you know, this is going to be great.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Can you stay with umfort sure? Sure?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Okay, Our Dean Sharpers brothers will back and talk design.
A lot of people going through this phase in the
burn Scar area. So if that's you, you got to
listen to this. It could be the it could be
life changing.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty Dean.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
The designing of the house is very important, and not
just for wealthy people but for you know, average people.
What does it cost to have Like let's say somebody
hired you or designer like you to design a fifteen
hundred square foot home that they're building just approximately.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
Uh you know what, depending on where, how how it's oriented.
You know, you could figure about these days about three
percent of cost of construction.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh okay, that's great.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I mean, if you're you know, because because to rebuild,
to build a million dollar house only costs about three
or four hundred thousand dollars, isn't that right? Because the
land is probably the majority of the of the the
cost here in Lam exactly exactly.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
And and the thing is this, you know, we're not
trying to promote the idea I don't try to promote
the idea on my show that somehow you know, designers
are cheap and you'll notice, you're not even going to
notice the check that you're right. But here is the thing.
It is so critical for the design because the design
focuses the rest of the money you're spending in the
(13:23):
right direction so that you get the most out of
everything else you are spending money. And that's the value
of it. That's the value along the way is that
we're going to end up because here here's the thing.
When the design is right. And I do not exaggerate
when I say this, I tell my clients this all
the time. Listen, we're going to get this right. We're
going to get this design right, and it's going to
(13:45):
be ninety percent of the awe factor The wow factor
of this house is the design. And once we've got
it right, once everything is flowing the right way and
in the right place, then you can make all sorts
of decisions about your materials. You can do this out
of plastic or paper or platinum. The fact of the
matter is it's not gonna change very much the wow
(14:06):
factor of the house when the design is kicking.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Does anybody ever fight you, like you say, no, you
can't do this. This door is not gonna open, it's
gonna interfere with you, and they say, well, we want
to do it anyway.
Speaker 8 (14:17):
Do they fight you on stuff? Yeah, that's I wouldn't
say fight. I wouldn't say fight because my try and
my clients trust me. But yeah, we get we get
pushback all the time, and that's a healthy thing. That's
the thing is I want to collaborate with homeowners. That's
what you're looking for into design. And by the way,
if you're looking to hire a designer and they don't
have a passion to push back at you and your
(14:39):
bad ideas, right, then you've you on the tail is
wagging the dog and you've hired the wrong person. But
in the end, okay, you know I'm not doing a
Picasso here, so I'm not like, well, I can't work
with these people. In the end, you know, I'm gonna
give you some pushback. I'm gonna let you know exactly
how I feel about it and why. But in the end,
(14:59):
you're the bo You're cutting the check. And so if
you want me to do this this way, as long
as it's not a code violation, if you want me
to do this this way, I'm like, all right, you
know what, You're right in the check. I'm going to
do this this way, but you're gonna hear about it
along the way. For me, for sure, that's great, man.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I think design is not only is it great for
the home, but it gives you peace of mind when
you know, see construction going up, knowing that a professional
has looked at it and taken out all the mistakes.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah. Absolutely absolutely, I mean this is home.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
You know, this is home for next maybe forty years
or longer exactly. And you know what, here's one of
my favorite quotes of all time. And it's so true.
Science studies they've all proven this out. But a complete
non architect, by the way, Winston Churchill said this one
of my favorite architectural quotes. He says, you know what,
we shape our buildings and thereafter they shape us. And
(15:56):
that's the truth. You know.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I design. I designed the way you are, the path.
Speaker 8 (16:01):
You're gonna take when you get up in the middle
of the night to go get a drink of water,
right and get back into bed. I design how what
you see when you walk down the hall and turn
into the kitchen for breakfast in the morning, or when
you first come back in the front door at the
end of a long day. All of these things affect
you in one way or another, either by what's not there,
(16:23):
what's in your way, or what is basically saying, hey, Tim,
welcome home man. Yeah, and it has an effect on
us every single day. That's a great quote. My favorite
quote is there's no place like home.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's true. Yeah, it's true. Literally, yeah, there is. And
another one I love is home is not a place
but a feeling. Somebody said that to me a long
time ago, and that really stuck with me. I think
that's true too. I think you know what I like
to say. In fact, we'll be talking about this on Sunday.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
My first point, I'm given ten reasons, by the way,
why design matters most. And my number one point is
because home is the most sacred place on earth.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yes, that's true. Have even thought about it?
Speaker 8 (17:02):
Is that place that you for you, that is set
aside for you. It is your place. And man, if
we can't make it your place one hundred percent you,
then we're missing the mark.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah, that is great, buddy.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
All right, Saturday six to eight am in San Diego
in Los Angeles KFI and La co Go and San Diego,
and then right back on Sunday. Are you on in
San Diego nine to noon on Sunday as well?
Speaker 8 (17:28):
Yeah, Actually we're not in San Diego on Saturday morning,
but we are on Sunday mornings, the Big Show from
nine to noon.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Excellent, all right, I'll be listening. Thank you, Bob, Thanks Tim.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
All right, there he goes Dean Sharp, the house whisper
the Home Show every Saturday and Sunday morning right here
on KFI. Hey, I'd like to thank a guy who
I run into all the time at Low's. He's one
of the managers over there in Burbank Low's. His name
is Oscar. Great guy. Hey, he's got a great story
that's uh that he'll have to tell one day on
the air about how he lives. You know, near is
(18:00):
his his mom, his uncles, like the whole street his
own is. You know, somebody in the family owns a
home and the whole family has been like living there
for a generation or two.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And I thought, that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
That'd be my dream to live on a street where,
you know, you have every family member has their own
home right on that street.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
That would be great.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I don't know how often people have that fortune to,
you know, to live on a street like that, but
this guy does. Oscar, who is one of the managers
over at Low's in Burbank, and he's just donated. I
saw this one hundred dollars to Foosh to get back
on his feet, which is great. So Oscar, thanks man.
Things playing golf right now, deserves it. Works his ass
(18:44):
over there off over at their Lows. But I go
to Low's, our home people all the time.
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I enjoy those stories. Those are two of my favorite stories.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
We all saw the big police chase, I think it
was two nights ago with the milk truck. You know,
the guy's truck jacking, carjacket, whatever you call it. A
car and then a truck, and then another truck, and
then a milk truck and they all got away from
the cops.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
They ended up getting away a wild police chase. Oh
was Sunday? Was it Sunday?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I think it was, yes, Sunday night. Wow, authorities had
these two suspects. They carjacked a truck in Lancaster, opened
fire with a gun on its owner, and then the
police chased them all the way down to the city
of la And in the hours that followed, they stole
two more vehicles before ending up in a Chevrolet Silverado. Hey,
(19:44):
if you're gonna steal a car, I might as well
steal a nice one under a freeway overpassing boil heights,
shielded from the police and the TV helicopters. Then things
got really strange. The two suspects appear to have escaped
in another car with the help of accomplices, according to
law enforcement, and three days later they're still at large.
(20:06):
It's obvious that they were well versed in the region.
And that's a quote from a highway patrol a former
highway patrol section chief who has decades of experience. LA
has long been obsessed with police chases ever since Conway
and Steckler used to promote them on their show on
(20:28):
kalas X.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Wow. How about that a shout out to maybe we
started them. I don't think anybody.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Really followed police chases before we did. I think we
did start that. So let's see an Ada boy for us.
But let me take that back. I think it all
started with OJ Simpson in nineteen ninety four. I think
that's when we really started to become obsessed with police chases.
(20:55):
But on radio, I don't think anyone did it before
we did with a Steckler and myself Conway Steckler Show.
But the two guys that really knock a chase out
are Petro.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Some money man, oh man.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
The references Petro's experience with Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It's those guys are tough to beat.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
But anyway, so those two guys are still or two
or three guys are still buzzing around. But with in
my experience, guys that are playing that fast and loose
with carjacking and the cops, they'll be back.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
They'll be back.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Something will happen where they run out of dough and
they need some more adrenaline, and I think they'll be
back in the game, back in the game, all right.
Tomorrow is going to be a huge, huge show, huge show.
So you got it to stay tuned tomorrow. I mean
state on KFI all the way till tomorrow. But if
(21:59):
you can't be back at four pm tomorrow, Steph Bush's
parents are coming in. The two of the five people
had saved his life are coming in. Katla's coming in.
It's going to be an unbelievable day. I think I
might actually come in early for that, you know, get
to school early, all right. The homeless encampments, neighbors and
homeless encampments keep coming back after they clean them up.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
What's going on with these things?
Speaker 11 (22:23):
And this is the area of Sunset Boulevard and Wilton
Place and there are no encampments here right now.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
They were cleared yesterday, but residents fear.
Speaker 11 (22:31):
They may come back, and they're hoping for all long
term solution.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
They all want at There are countselman countless time.
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Keith Johnson says he's been frustrated with the city for
years now.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, welcome to the club.
Speaker 11 (22:42):
He shared with us these pictures of homeless encampments blocking
the sidewalk near Sunset Boulevard and Wilton Place, of children
having to get around them in order to get to
one of the three schools nearby, and why he believes
yesterday's cleanup won't have a long term impact.
Speaker 10 (22:56):
It's just a continuing problem where it gets clear, comes back,
that's right, sometimes gets bigger. Our mayor says, the numbers
are down, you know it's still here and affecting our
community and our businesses.
Speaker 11 (23:14):
The Aguilar family told us as volunteers at a church
on Wilton Place, they frequently encountered problems with the homeless
that live just steps from the church. They break windows,
they like, they do anything they.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
