which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
There used to be a bar on Well Done Croach,
Melrose and Normandy and the Bar up until like ten
years ago the tiki t No. The bar was called
one for the Road. You don't hear that often.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
There used to be like a very racially insensitive oriental
motif bar in uh in the things can be oriental,
people cannot be, okay, so it's not racist to say
it's an oriental lamp, an oriental bar, oriental carpet, right,
it's it's okay.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
This bar was in I think it was on Sunset.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I mean you're not. I'm not the specialist, but I
know it was.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
In East Hollywood and it was called the good Luck Bar,
and they like the walls were literally like red velvet,
like a kung Fu movie, and they played like ska
music and their drinks were like the Fist of Fury
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
That's that was a bar.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Do you remember the Golden Monkey was the Golden the
Golden Gopher, the Golden Gophers.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
One that's the oldest. I do have something interest in
about that. That's not a place i'd recommend tonight. Uh,
the Golden Gopher on Eighth Downtown. If it's still I
think it's still. It's the oldest liquor license in Los Angeles,
is that right?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
And it used to be Teddy Roosevelt's bar. He comes
back again in our conversation today. It was called the
Sunset Room. It was Teddy Roosevelt owned the bar. And
that is why the Golden Gopher. Because of that old license.
They have a liquor store in the front. You can
buy liquor on the way out, one for the road.
(02:34):
I used to buy an old bottle on my way
out by a bottle of yetto popo on the way out,
old Granddad.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And what was the name of the restaurant that had
rats the size of ponies, the pony rats, the velvet turtle. Oh, oh,
the pantry, the pantry.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, that's reopening soon.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, they used to have rats. I mean you thought
there was a guy coming in in costume, you know,
because it was like a six foot rat and go, no,
that's that's real.

That's what the fry cup.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
There used to be.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
There used to be a bar, right that was attached
to our old building where KFI used to be in
Koreatown and on Ardmore and the bar was called the
Dragon Lady. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And we had a Korea
when I when I was running the board for Coasts,
when we used to do remotes from Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
The jock that was on the air at the time,
he would do like dedications and I was the back
of the station pushing the buttons, and he did a
little dedication screwing with me, he said, he says, And
one goes out to Michael and the Dragon Lady says,
she's waiting for you to get off your shoes.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That's real.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
By the way, Koreatown mid Wiltshire drinking is some serious,
it's great.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
It's some sad la drink.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I think that Dragon Lady is now like this, like
very one of those trendy like the hidden bars, you know,
a little speaking.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Well, there's the ss Boutyr which is in kay Lord.
Speaker 1 (04:01):

Golden Monkey. You guys remember that bar.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Okay, they did karaoke and stead karaoke, right, and the
Great Fried Chicken.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And the ceiling was like six and a half feet high.
You know, you always felt like that was a death
trap in there.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Do you know what's a good A good mid Wilshire
drinking sad death movie.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
One of the greats is The Grifters.

There was that one by the girl talk on Lebrea.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I think so, yeah, but there was. But there was
a great bar across from the Golden Monkey. It was
across Wilshire and it was old and I I remember
the name of it, but it was it was beautiful.
And those old bars really aren't around anymore.

is the Golden Gopher. But one of the most famous
old bars downtown and it's sunset and vinyl. Remember that
this one still looks great, and it still looks is
the one in the Biltmore? Oh yeah, gallery Bar. Now

We had a story we're reporting on all day yesterday
about this these beautiful girls who are going to Colorado
(12:45):
to play hockey from Valencia or Santa Clarita area. The
girls hockey team from Santa Clarita bravely laced up their
skates today, a day after a deadly Colorado crash and
we're one of the teammates fathers was killed with one
of the young players involved in the wreck, bravely taking
(13:08):
the ice to score a tournament win. That is something
that movie of the Weeks are made out of, or
it should be Movie the Week or a documentary. The
Santa Clarita Lady Flyers twelve and under. That's the team.
You gotta be twelve years old or younger. They played
(13:29):
in the game today in Littleton, Colorado. Belly, we got
to rely on you for our geography in Colorado. Where's Littleton?
Is that near Denver?
Speaker 7 (13:38):
It's just a little south of Denver.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Is that why they call it little town? No. After
a snowplow slammed into the van carrying members of the
team outside of Denver on Thursday, The collision injured eight
young athletes and adults killed the driver, and despite the
traumatic experience, one day later, the Lady Flyers they get
(14:04):
in the van, they go to the stadium, they suit up,
they put those skates on, they put the pads on,
They put the car accident in the back of their mind.
They go out there and they skate to a three
to two win against the Utah Grizzlies on Friday, Bellio,
I don't remember reporting better news in the last couple
(14:29):
of years of that. Absolutely, that is great. Congratulations to
these young kids. Yes, and I bet moms and dads
are all at that game. Because when you're nine, ten, eleven,
twelve year old is involved in a car accident, you
do nothing but get to them. You get in the car,
(14:50):
you get in a plane, you get in the train,
you get a bus, whatever you got to do. You
are always moving towards them after you hear that they
are in an accident. So I bet you, Bellio, I'll
bet you every single mom or and every single father
was at that game today.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yes, with that exception, Yes, everybody had a relative and uncle,
maybe a grandmother, grandfather is in Denver who showed up
at that game to cheer that team.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I'm sure that's what gave them the strength to do it.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's right, right, that's right. And and I hear that
you know your old you know college and high school coaching,
when you used to coach girls hockey. I hear that
coming out in your voice. You know, it's almost like
you went back twenty years. It brought me back. It
did so perspective.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
By the way, that's a little glimmer of good there
because Littleton that's where the Columbine High School shooting took place.
In that Yeah, that area is just like, oh try
so that's always good to hear something good coming out.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
That's right, good call Crozier, they need that. Krozier was
right this time about tactical alert. LAPD on tactical alert.
They're not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
That mean they went from dispersal order to just citywide
tactical alert.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And what does that mean in Layman's terms, that nobody's
going home. Everybody stands on duty.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yes, oh yes, all the police, yes, anybody that's on
break or anything like. Anybody get out there right now.
It's it's on an all call.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Okay, we'll keep our eye on downtown LA when we
come back. Miguel Rojas interview will play that again. It's
worth listening to one of the greatest moments in Dodger history.
The guy responsible for it was sitting right in that chair.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:41):

Speaker 8 (17:01):
That's an honor. That's an honor to me. Thank you
very much, buddy.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I don't think you have any idea. Maybe you do
now that you've been, you know, traveling around for the
last couple of months, but I don't think you have
any idea how much that meant to me and lifelong
Dodger fans. I grew up here in la I was
born in nineteen sixty three. My first game was nineteen
sixty nine, well well before you were born. Yeah, And
I lived through some pretty lean years with the Dodgers.
(17:26):
You know, it was eighty one and eighty eight that
they won the World Series and then really nothing up
until you know, the late twenty twenties or so. But
to watch that game, Look, I got so nervous watching
that game. I had to leave the house and drive
to Valencia and listen to Rick Monday on the air
and listen to it because I was too nervous watching it.
(17:47):
I got back in time to watch you hit that
home run and I was screaming. I lost my voice
for a couple of days. It was the most exciting
moment of my life.
Speaker 9 (17:57):
That's that's really crazy to to kind of put everything
on context, because, uh, that's what I've been getting from
a lot of people. And I didn't do that to
like cause all the elphoria from from people, and and
it's kind of like what you do as a baseball player,
you kind of like entertain every single night. But to
(18:18):
do it on that stage and to be able to
to have that opportunity and that moment for me in
Game seven made me think that, I mean, I was
meant to to do that, you know, for the for
the team and for the organization. I just feel like
I'm so blessed that that I was part of the
of the Dodgers in that moment. And for me to
come up in that situation and do my job and
(18:39):
kind of do something that the gables the opportunity to
win is what I'm gonna remember about.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And your wife said that you were going to hit
a home run. She said that before. Was that the
first time?
Speaker 9 (18:51):
No, he she She's been saying that ever since. I
was in I wasn't playing on the NLCS against the Brewers.
I didn't play one game or or I got one
at bad. And I continue to come home kind of like, yeah,
I'm excited because we're winning those games and we, uh
we are really close to go to the War Series again.
But I'm kind of like, I want to contribute. I
want to be part of it. I I wanna get
(19:13):
at a bat, I want to play some defense. I
want to do something that that it helps the team
to get there. And she continued to tell me just
just realize, continue to work hard and be prepared because
your opportunity is gonna come and you're gonna hit a
home run. You're gonna you're gonna do something big. You're
gonna hit a big home run that it's gonna it's
gonna you're gonna have your moment. And I continue to say, yeah, whatever,
(19:35):
I mean, how how are I gonna get that if
I'm not even playing? But uh, I put my mind
into that, I put my money into continue to work
every single day, prepare for my chance, for my opportunity,
and make my chance came on Gain six and I'm
really proud of the way that I play Game six,
the energy that I injected to the team because of
(19:56):
uh we needed at that time, and we won't gain
six and everything happened against saying was a result of everything.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
The game six where you had the last out on
second base and you caught that ball then you fell over.
You seem like a kid like you were in third grade,
you know, living that moment as a as a child.
You seem like the happiest you've ever been in your life.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Yeah, I mean, that was one of the best moments
of my career. I don't I don't usually react like
that when a play happens, but I feel like that
was the momentum that we.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
Needed for for next day and to turn the series around.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
And even though we still have to play another game,
I feel like with that play, with that moment, we
shifted the momentum in our side. So uh yeah, I
mean I was so excited to be able to play
on that game and knowing that we won that game
and I was going to be able to play Game seven,
that was that was something that I will remember forever.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
How do you go to Miguel Rohass was with us
from the Los Angeles Dodgers. How do you go to
bed after that game game six where you make the
last play and you know, last out at second base
and go to sleep and get prepared for game seven.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Yeah, I couldn't go to sleep until five I am
in the morning. First because at the excitement the text
messages the people who are who loved me and who
I love a lot reaching out to me and and
telling me how proud they were of the way that
I play and all that, and like congratulating me and
giving me the best buye for next day. And then
(21:29):
another thing was like I got an inter coastal strain
after the play. Kik gave me like a big hug
and kind of like pulled me up and kind of
make me, make me strain my peg a little bit.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
And so I had a kind.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
Of a situation on my side going going to bed
that night, and I have to take a lot of
medicine to be ready for game seven. But yeah, to
answer your question, I didn't go to sleep until the
song was out.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
So you got to bed at five o'clock and then
what time you wake up noon around eleven? Yes, plot,
And did you know you were playing that night in
game seven?
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Definitely? I knew what was going to be in the lineup.
He was where I was good to play or not.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
Because of the the the discomfort that I have. But
I promised to myself that I wasn't gonna get out
of the out of the line up in Game seven,
and I was gonna do anything possible to be to
be okay to play Game seven. And I am happy
that I did. And I'm happy for all our coaches
and the train staff and the training the trainers that
(22:32):
helped me get through it so I can play in
Game seven without a pain.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
But I still have to.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
Get out of the game in day eleven inning because
he was hurting so bad.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
So when you hit the home run, the Dodgers going
to Dodgers and Blue Jays, you going too extra innings
and then you save the game again with throwing it
to Smith to get to get the guy out from third.
But if that ball is three feet to your right
or three feet to your left, the game's over.
Speaker 9 (22:57):
Yeah. Those are those are the things that we all's
gonna talk about for for the rest of our life.
Because uh double was tough, because just because of the
turf in in Canada, I felt like I didn't play
the ball the right way.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
I misread it.
Speaker 9 (23:13):
I went back to it and I planted my feet
and I am glad that the guy at third base
didn't have a really good lead and I was able
to get the throwing time to the play.
Speaker 8 (23:23):
And then when you rewatch the replay.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
You see the food of Willi Smith coming off the
play and then coming back down just in time to
get that out.
Speaker 8 (23:33):
And I feel like that's something that that's going to.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
Be there forever to kind of rewatch and go go
go after it and a really special moment. And I
think that play for me, it was way more important
than hitting the home run, because that was a door
that I play. Sure like if I if I get
out on data bat that I didn't hit a homer,
we still have a chat with Show. But I mean
(23:58):
with the acts against the wall do or that I play.
I think that play was really important.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
And when when when that that happens, you know, you
you hit the home run and and you you know,
then you guys go on to win the game. I
can't imagine what that was like afterwards, the party, the
plane ride home, the parade, you know, the fans, you know,
coming out, that's gotta be a feeling that that you
can't get outside of professional sports, like.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Yeah, it's it's a dream.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
I feel like you you continue to feel like you're
dreaming because that's something that it takes a little while
for you to kind of understand that that happened and
you're gonna become and your life is gonna turn around
like a three sixty, because I mean from being around
in the streets and being recognized maybe once or twice
and during the year, is now everybody knows your name.
(24:51):
Everybody knows who you are, they know your face. And
it's not just locally in LA, it's global. Is everybody
knows because everybody will watching more than I don't know
how many million people were watching the game, and that
kind of make you life kind of torn around and
go in a different direction. But I'm so I'm so happy.
(25:14):
It's been overwhelming for me because I never seek for
this much attention throughout throughout my life and during my
whole stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
If you don't want attention, that's the right way to
do it.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
But I love it and I'm not gonna walk away
from it because that's something that I always ask for.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
I wanted to have a moment like that.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
I think I deserve a moment like that because of
my career, and I feel like that happened to me
and now I need to be kind of proud of
the way that that it happened and I did it,
and I'm just happy that I did it for the
city and especially here.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
When and then you find out a few days later
that the Dodgers have signed you for a five and
a half million dollars, that is the sign of a
real classy organization.
Speaker 9 (25:58):
Yeah, definitely, especially uh not needing to do a move
like that, but they were in contact right away. They
want me to stay with the team, and knowing that
it was going to be my last year as a player,
tiding that up with with my opportunity to starting the
coaching role or kind of my assistant to the front
(26:19):
office role or player development the next year after that,
that was really important to me and they were open
to do it for me and with me. So I'm
really excited to to what is coming next and uh
looking forward to prepare for a three.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
P Everybody in the organization talks about you becoming the
eventual manager of that team.
Speaker 9 (26:39):
Well that's the goal, but I think everybody. I think
Dave Roberts is doing an amazing Once he moves on,
I don't know when that's gonna be, but he deserves,
he deserved to be on that place for a long time.
And uh, I mean, if it's if it's with this organization,
I'll be really happy if if if it's not a manager,
I would I would like to be a part of
(27:01):
the team and continue to help well forever. Yeah, continue
to be helping, helping a dog and the front office
and the ownership to accomplish what they want, which is
winning more championships. And hopefully I can help my teammates
now uh soon to be my my, my guys that
are gonna teach something and I'm gonna help them to
(27:24):
continue to get better.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
But I'm really excited about that opportunity.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
My guess is that the first time you come off
the bat next season, you get a standing ovation, and
the second and the third and every game and every
time you come a bad standing ovation for that home run.
Speaker 9 (27:39):
I don't want to set my standards and my expectations high,
but I just want to walk to the play and
see how it feels like. And that's why I didn't
think I didn't think another on another organization. I just
want to walk to the play at Doller Stadium on
opening day or whatever is my first bat and see
the reaction of defense.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I asked Michael Crore, who is h the news anchor
here and one of the guys on the show. I said,
how long could I hug Mickey Rojas without it being weird?
And he said three minutes.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
Okay, let's do it three minutes after the interview freaking hot.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
But I really, I seriously, that was the greatest sports
moment of my life. I'm a big Kings fan. I've
seen the Kings win two Stanley Cups. I've seen the Dodgers.
I've seen Kirk Gibson hit the home run. I've seen
the Lakers, you know, with Kobe Bryant and back with
Magic Johnson. But I've never gotten so excited my life
that when you hit that home run, it is the
number one moment in my life.
Speaker 9 (28:38):
It means a lot to me, and I want to
say thank you man for really, uh for really give
me the moment and obviously hearing this is really important
to me, and I gonna take this for forever.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I know you got you got to add a long interview,
so and you got to get up back to your family.
But I can't thank you enough. Good luck next year
and when you become the manor of the manager of
the Dodgers, I hope you come back and.
Speaker 9 (29:01):
I'll see you here whenever I manage to s all Right,
thank you, sir, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
All right.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Miggie Rohas what a man this guy is.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Like to thank Petros for popping by. That guy is
always great. I got a lot of texts saying have
him on every Friday. That would be my choice as well.
And Miggi Rojas, Miguel Rojas came on with us. That
was a that's a true hero of mine. And I
got to meet him. That is one of the coolest
things I've ever done. Get to sit there and talk
(29:40):
to the guy who hit the home run in Toronto
to extend the Dodgers series and go on to win
back to back world series.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
And it was great because as soon as he got
done with the interview, he came over to give you
a hug.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
He posted the video on on your socials at Conway Show.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Check it out.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I could have done three minutes on that hug, like
three seconds. Yeah, I didn't want to, you know, take
up too much to I think he owes me two
minutes and fifty seven seconds.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
It was obviously you you were a slow release.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah you might letting go.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I put my hat on his shoulder like I was
in third grade. My dad was picking me up. It
actually was really sweet.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
Ah sweet.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Speaking of a really sweet there was a lady who
was working at age ninety two, and another woman saw
this put together a GoFundMe for it, because you shouldn't
be working at ninety two because you can't pay your bills.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
A woman shopping in a clothing store was stunned when
she saw a ninety two year old woman still working
to pay the bills, so she decided to do something
about it.
Speaker 10 (30:47):
She's still working at age ninety two. Urial Conic is
a sales associate at a Burlington store in Papeno Beach, Florida.
She says, after a lifetime of hard work, she's bill
couldn't afford to retire. How come you weren't able to retire?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Because I'm not because she doesn't have the money. What
else could it be?
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Because I don't have enough of money to pay my bills.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
She doesn't have enough for money to pay her bills.
That's got to be the only reason.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
I don't have enough of money to pay my bills
and my trailer is falling apart.
Speaker 10 (31:24):
This kind hearted shopper was shocked to see the elderly
woman wheeling clothing racks at the store and clearing out
the dressing room.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
I was dumbfounded that a woman ninety two could still
be working and on her feet the entire time.
Speaker 10 (31:39):
April Steel is now organizing a gofund me account.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
That woman deserves an ad a girl, April Steel, she
deserves a huge pat on her back and a round
of applause for helping this lady out and enabling her
to retire.
Speaker 10 (31:55):
April Steel is now organizing a gofund me account that
has raised more than sixty dollars for Murieals.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Okay, well it was at sixty grand, now it's at
one hundred and seven thousand dollars, and now she's going
to retire next week.
Speaker 10 (32:09):
Your kitchen is all working pretty good, though. Yeah, money,
she says she really needs to pay her bills and
arrange repairs around her house.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Pay that trailer off with that hundred grand they do
wrong with her? Say this was coming up.
Speaker 9 (32:23):
And see that.
Speaker 10 (32:24):
Are you now able to retire?
Speaker 1 (32:26):
You know, Steph Fush, you should hook up with this lady. Yeah,
you know, get your go fundme her go fundme. You
guys could be the new sweethearts of go fundme. That
could be fun. Yeah, it would be. You know, she's
ninety two, so she's not gonna be around forever. Maybe
you could dip your beaconto that though, too, and then
get the extra cash that's trying to get a house.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yes, as soon as she gets some money, I'm.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
Out of there.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
So as she gets the money, Steph Foosh is in there.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Yes, as soon as.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
She gets some money, I'm out of there.
Speaker 10 (32:59):
Yeah, a well learned retirement at.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
Last, she's out of there. Muryelle, enjoy retirement.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
You deserve it.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
One hundred and seven thousand dollars for this beautiful ninety
two year old woman. That is great. And we lost

Yeah, and they kept threatening to close because it's such
a bad homeless area.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
They're really close to skid row.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
What is the wall right next to Little Jewel that
just opened up too. Little Jewel opened a bar, yeah,
which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
There used to be a bar on Well Done Croach,
Melrose and Normandy and the Bar up until like ten
years ago the tiki t No. The bar was called
one for the Road. You don't hear that often.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
There used to be like a very racially insensitive oriental
motif bar in uh in the things can be oriental,
people cannot be, okay, so it's not racist to say
it's an oriental lamp, an oriental bar, oriental carpet, right,
it's it's okay.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
This bar was in I think it was on Sunset.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I mean you're not. I'm not the specialist, but I
know it was.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
In East Hollywood and it was called the good Luck Bar,
and they like the walls were literally like red velvet,
like a kung Fu movie, and they played like ska
music and their drinks were like the Fist of Fury
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
That's that was a bar.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Do you remember the Golden Monkey was the Golden the
Golden Gopher, the Golden Gophers.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
One that's the oldest. I do have something interest in
about that. That's not a place i'd recommend tonight. Uh,
the Golden Gopher on Eighth Downtown. If it's still I
think it's still. It's the oldest liquor license in Los Angeles,
is that right?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
And it used to be Teddy Roosevelt's bar. He comes
back again in our conversation today. It was called the
Sunset Room. It was Teddy Roosevelt owned the bar. And
that is why the Golden Gopher. Because of that old license.
They have a liquor store in the front. You can
buy liquor on the way out, one for the road.
(02:34):
I used to buy an old bottle on my way
out by a bottle of yetto popo on the way out,
old Granddad.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And what was the name of the restaurant that had
rats the size of ponies, the pony rats, the velvet turtle. Oh, oh,
the pantry, the pantry.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, that's reopening soon.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, they used to have rats. I mean you thought
there was a guy coming in in costume, you know,
because it was like a six foot rat and go, no,
that's that's real.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
That's what the fry cup.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
There used to be.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
There used to be a bar, right that was attached
to our old building where KFI used to be in
Koreatown and on Ardmore and the bar was called the
Dragon Lady. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And we had a Korea
when I when I was running the board for Coasts,
when we used to do remotes from Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
The jock that was on the air at the time,
he would do like dedications and I was the back
of the station pushing the buttons, and he did a
little dedication screwing with me, he said, he says, And
one goes out to Michael and the Dragon Lady says,
she's waiting for you to get off your shoes.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That's real.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
By the way, Koreatown mid Wiltshire drinking is some serious,
it's great.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
It's some sad la drink.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I think that Dragon Lady is now like this, like
very one of those trendy like the hidden bars, you know,
a little speaking.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Well, there's the ss Boutyr which is in kay Lord.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Right, which is across the street. But I remember the
Golden Monkey. You guys remember that bar.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Okay, they did karaoke and stead karaoke, right, and the
Great Fried Chicken.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And the ceiling was like six and a half feet high.
You know, you always felt like that was a death
trap in there.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Do you know what's a good A good mid Wilshire
drinking sad death movie.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
One of the greats is The Grifters.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
With Cusack and Angel Jelica Houston and a young Annette
Benning The Grifters. If you want to get depressed and
get drunk on mid Wilshire, that's your pla. He goes
to the horse races a bunch of times Conway. It's
rightf Alley.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Was it the frolic Room? Do you remember the frolic Room?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Is still there? Hollywood Boulevard?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Aren't there two of those? I thought I had heard
one point there were two of them. One that wasn't
so trendy right beside the theater.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
There was that one by the girl talk on Lebrea.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I think so, yeah, but there was. But there was
a great bar across from the Golden Monkey. It was
across Wilshire and it was old and I I remember
the name of it, but it was it was beautiful.
And those old bars really aren't around anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
The oldest bar in l A, as I just told you,
is the Golden Gopher. But one of the most famous
old bars downtown and it's sunset and vinyl. Remember that
this one still looks great, and it still looks is
the one in the Biltmore? Oh yeah, gallery Bar. Now
the interesting part of l a Noir from the Gallery
Bar is that that is the last place that the
Black Dahlia was.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Right, and that's still around.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
That's that bar still there, and that was the last
place she was seeing alives. And I believe you can
still to this day order at Black Dahlia Negroni at
the at the Gallery Bar in the Biltmore Hotel.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
And then there was a bunch of them with the
name Tiki on him. There was the Tiki Mermaid and
then there was the Tiki.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Because of the.

We had a story we're reporting on all day yesterday
about this these beautiful girls who are going to Colorado
(12:45):
to play hockey from Valencia or Santa Clarita area. The
girls hockey team from Santa Clarita bravely laced up their
skates today, a day after a deadly Colorado crash and
we're one of the teammates fathers was killed with one
of the young players involved in the wreck, bravely taking
(13:08):
the ice to score a tournament win. That is something
that movie of the Weeks are made out of, or
it should be Movie the Week or a documentary. The
Santa Clarita Lady Flyers twelve and under. That's the team.
You gotta be twelve years old or younger. They played
(13:29):
in the game today in Littleton, Colorado. Belly, we got
to rely on you for our geography in Colorado. Where's Littleton?
Is that near Denver?
Speaker 7 (13:38):
It's just a little south of Denver.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Is that why they call it little town? No. After
a snowplow slammed into the van carrying members of the
team outside of Denver on Thursday, The collision injured eight
young athletes and adults killed the driver, and despite the
traumatic experience, one day later, the Lady Flyers they get
(14:04):
in the van, they go to the stadium, they suit up,
they put those skates on, they put the pads on,
They put the car accident in the back of their mind.
They go out there and they skate to a three
to two win against the Utah Grizzlies on Friday, Bellio,
I don't remember reporting better news in the last couple
(14:29):
of years of that. Absolutely, that is great. Congratulations to
these young kids. Yes, and I bet moms and dads
are all at that game. Because when you're nine, ten, eleven,
twelve year old is involved in a car accident, you
do nothing but get to them. You get in the car,
(14:50):
you get in a plane, you get in the train,
you get a bus, whatever you got to do. You
are always moving towards them after you hear that they
are in an accident. So I bet you, Bellio, I'll
bet you every single mom or and every single father
was at that game today.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yes, with that exception, Yes, everybody had a relative and uncle,
maybe a grandmother, grandfather is in Denver who showed up
at that game to cheer that team.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
I'm sure that's what gave them the strength to do it.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's right, right, that's right. And and I hear that
you know your old you know college and high school coaching,
when you used to coach girls hockey. I hear that
coming out in your voice. You know, it's almost like
you went back twenty years. It brought me back. It
did so perspective.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
By the way, that's a little glimmer of good there
because Littleton that's where the Columbine High School shooting took place.
In that Yeah, that area is just like, oh try
so that's always good to hear something good coming out.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
That's right, good call Crozier, they need that. Krozier was
right this time about tactical alert. LAPD on tactical alert.
They're not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
That mean they went from dispersal order to just citywide
tactical alert.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
And what does that mean in Layman's terms, that nobody's
going home. Everybody stands on duty.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yes, oh yes, all the police, yes, anybody that's on
break or anything like. Anybody get out there right now.
It's it's on an all call.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Okay, we'll keep our eye on downtown LA when we
come back. Miguel Rojas interview will play that again. It's
worth listening to one of the greatest moments in Dodger history.
The guy responsible for it was sitting right in that chair.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
All right, I'm gonna go on the other road.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Run gone no way.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
All right, ladies and gentlemen, Miguel Rowhas, how are you, sir?
Speaker 8 (16:51):
Everything? Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You are my favorite human being. I'm including my dad,
my daughter, my wife, They're all second now to you.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
That's an honor. That's an honor to me. Thank you
very much, buddy.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I don't think you have any idea. Maybe you do
now that you've been, you know, traveling around for the
last couple of months, but I don't think you have
any idea how much that meant to me and lifelong
Dodger fans. I grew up here in la I was
born in nineteen sixty three. My first game was nineteen
sixty nine, well well before you were born. Yeah, And
I lived through some pretty lean years with the Dodgers.
(17:26):
You know, it was eighty one and eighty eight that
they won the World Series and then really nothing up
until you know, the late twenty twenties or so. But
to watch that game, Look, I got so nervous watching
that game. I had to leave the house and drive
to Valencia and listen to Rick Monday on the air
and listen to it because I was too nervous watching it.
(17:47):
I got back in time to watch you hit that
home run and I was screaming. I lost my voice
for a couple of days. It was the most exciting
moment of my life.
Speaker 9 (17:57):
That's that's really crazy to to kind of put everything
on context, because, uh, that's what I've been getting from
a lot of people. And I didn't do that to
like cause all the elphoria from from people, and and
it's kind of like what you do as a baseball player,
you kind of like entertain every single night. But to
(18:18):
do it on that stage and to be able to
to have that opportunity and that moment for me in
Game seven made me think that, I mean, I was
meant to to do that, you know, for the for
the team and for the organization. I just feel like
I'm so blessed that that I was part of the
of the Dodgers in that moment. And for me to
come up in that situation and do my job and
(18:39):
kind of do something that the gables the opportunity to
win is what I'm gonna remember about.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And your wife said that you were going to hit
a home run. She said that before. Was that the
first time?
Speaker 9 (18:51):
No, he she She's been saying that ever since. I
was in I wasn't playing on the NLCS against the Brewers.
I didn't play one game or or I got one
at bad. And I continue to come home kind of like, yeah,
I'm excited because we're winning those games and we, uh
we are really close to go to the War Series again.
But I'm kind of like, I want to contribute. I
want to be part of it. I I wanna get
(19:13):
at a bat, I want to play some defense. I
want to do something that that it helps the team
to get there. And she continued to tell me just
just realize, continue to work hard and be prepared because
your opportunity is gonna come and you're gonna hit a
home run. You're gonna you're gonna do something big. You're
gonna hit a big home run that it's gonna it's
gonna you're gonna have your moment. And I continue to say, yeah, whatever,
(19:35):
I mean, how how are I gonna get that if
I'm not even playing? But uh, I put my mind
into that, I put my money into continue to work
every single day, prepare for my chance, for my opportunity,
and make my chance came on Gain six and I'm
really proud of the way that I play Game six,
the energy that I injected to the team because of
(19:56):
uh we needed at that time, and we won't gain
six and everything happened against saying was a result of everything.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
The game six where you had the last out on
second base and you caught that ball then you fell over.
You seem like a kid like you were in third grade,
you know, living that moment as a as a child.
You seem like the happiest you've ever been in your life.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Yeah, I mean, that was one of the best moments
of my career. I don't I don't usually react like
that when a play happens, but I feel like that
was the momentum that we.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
Needed for for next day and to turn the series around.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
And even though we still have to play another game,
I feel like with that play, with that moment, we
shifted the momentum in our side. So uh yeah, I
mean I was so excited to be able to play
on that game and knowing that we won that game
and I was going to be able to play Game seven,
that was that was something that I will remember forever.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
How do you go to Miguel Rohass was with us
from the Los Angeles Dodgers. How do you go to
bed after that game game six where you make the
last play and you know, last out at second base
and go to sleep and get prepared for game seven.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Yeah, I couldn't go to sleep until five I am
in the morning. First because at the excitement the text
messages the people who are who loved me and who
I love a lot reaching out to me and and
telling me how proud they were of the way that
I play and all that, and like congratulating me and
giving me the best buye for next day. And then
(21:29):
another thing was like I got an inter coastal strain
after the play. Kik gave me like a big hug
and kind of like pulled me up and kind of
make me, make me strain my peg a little bit.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
And so I had a kind.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
Of a situation on my side going going to bed
that night, and I have to take a lot of
medicine to be ready for game seven. But yeah, to
answer your question, I didn't go to sleep until the
song was out.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
So you got to bed at five o'clock and then
what time you wake up noon around eleven? Yes, plot,
And did you know you were playing that night in
game seven?
Speaker 8 (22:03):
Definitely? I knew what was going to be in the lineup.
He was where I was good to play or not.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
Because of the the the discomfort that I have. But
I promised to myself that I wasn't gonna get out
of the out of the line up in Game seven,
and I was gonna do anything possible to be to
be okay to play Game seven. And I am happy
that I did. And I'm happy for all our coaches
and the train staff and the training the trainers that
(22:32):
helped me get through it so I can play in
Game seven without a pain.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
But I still have to.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
Get out of the game in day eleven inning because
he was hurting so bad.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
So when you hit the home run, the Dodgers going
to Dodgers and Blue Jays, you going too extra innings
and then you save the game again with throwing it
to Smith to get to get the guy out from third.
But if that ball is three feet to your right
or three feet to your left, the game's over.
Speaker 9 (22:57):
Yeah. Those are those are the things that we all's
gonna talk about for for the rest of our life.
Because uh double was tough, because just because of the
turf in in Canada, I felt like I didn't play
the ball the right way.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
I misread it.
Speaker 9 (23:13):
I went back to it and I planted my feet
and I am glad that the guy at third base
didn't have a really good lead and I was able
to get the throwing time to the play.
Speaker 8 (23:23):
And then when you rewatch the replay.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
You see the food of Willi Smith coming off the
play and then coming back down just in time to
get that out.
Speaker 8 (23:33):
And I feel like that's something that that's going to.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
Be there forever to kind of rewatch and go go
go after it and a really special moment. And I
think that play for me, it was way more important
than hitting the home run, because that was a door
that I play. Sure like if I if I get
out on data bat that I didn't hit a homer,
we still have a chat with Show. But I mean
(23:58):
with the acts against the wall do or that I play.
I think that play was really important.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
And when when when that that happens, you know, you
you hit the home run and and you you know,
then you guys go on to win the game. I
can't imagine what that was like afterwards, the party, the
plane ride home, the parade, you know, the fans, you know,
coming out, that's gotta be a feeling that that you
can't get outside of professional sports, like.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Yeah, it's it's a dream.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
I feel like you you continue to feel like you're
dreaming because that's something that it takes a little while
for you to kind of understand that that happened and
you're gonna become and your life is gonna turn around
like a three sixty, because I mean from being around
in the streets and being recognized maybe once or twice
and during the year, is now everybody knows your name.
(24:51):
Everybody knows who you are, they know your face. And
it's not just locally in LA, it's global. Is everybody
knows because everybody will watching more than I don't know
how many million people were watching the game, and that
kind of make you life kind of torn around and
go in a different direction. But I'm so I'm so happy.
(25:14):
It's been overwhelming for me because I never seek for
this much attention throughout throughout my life and during my
whole stuff.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
If you don't want attention, that's the right way to
do it.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
But I love it and I'm not gonna walk away
from it because that's something that I always ask for.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
I wanted to have a moment like that.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
I think I deserve a moment like that because of
my career, and I feel like that happened to me
and now I need to be kind of proud of
the way that that it happened and I did it,
and I'm just happy that I did it for the
city and especially here.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
When and then you find out a few days later
that the Dodgers have signed you for a five and
a half million dollars, that is the sign of a
real classy organization.
Speaker 9 (25:58):
Yeah, definitely, especially uh not needing to do a move
like that, but they were in contact right away. They
want me to stay with the team, and knowing that
it was going to be my last year as a player,
tiding that up with with my opportunity to starting the
coaching role or kind of my assistant to the front
(26:19):
office role or player development the next year after that,
that was really important to me and they were open
to do it for me and with me. So I'm
really excited to to what is coming next and uh
looking forward to prepare for a three.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
P Everybody in the organization talks about you becoming the
eventual manager of that team.
Speaker 9 (26:39):
Well that's the goal, but I think everybody. I think
Dave Roberts is doing an amazing Once he moves on,
I don't know when that's gonna be, but he deserves,
he deserved to be on that place for a long time.
And uh, I mean, if it's if it's with this organization,
I'll be really happy if if if it's not a manager,
I would I would like to be a part of
(27:01):
the team and continue to help well forever. Yeah, continue
to be helping, helping a dog and the front office
and the ownership to accomplish what they want, which is
winning more championships. And hopefully I can help my teammates
now uh soon to be my my, my guys that
are gonna teach something and I'm gonna help them to
(27:24):
continue to get better.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
But I'm really excited about that opportunity.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
My guess is that the first time you come off
the bat next season, you get a standing ovation, and
the second and the third and every game and every
time you come a bad standing ovation for that home run.
Speaker 9 (27:39):
I don't want to set my standards and my expectations high,
but I just want to walk to the play and
see how it feels like. And that's why I didn't
think I didn't think another on another organization. I just
want to walk to the play at Doller Stadium on
opening day or whatever is my first bat and see
the reaction of defense.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I asked Michael Crore, who is h the news anchor
here and one of the guys on the show. I said,
how long could I hug Mickey Rojas without it being weird?
And he said three minutes.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
Okay, let's do it three minutes after the interview freaking hot.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
But I really, I seriously, that was the greatest sports
moment of my life. I'm a big Kings fan. I've
seen the Kings win two Stanley Cups. I've seen the Dodgers.
I've seen Kirk Gibson hit the home run. I've seen
the Lakers, you know, with Kobe Bryant and back with
Magic Johnson. But I've never gotten so excited my life
that when you hit that home run, it is the
number one moment in my life.
Speaker 9 (28:38):
It means a lot to me, and I want to
say thank you man for really, uh for really give
me the moment and obviously hearing this is really important
to me, and I gonna take this for forever.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I know you got you got to add a long interview,
so and you got to get up back to your family.
But I can't thank you enough. Good luck next year
and when you become the manor of the manager of
the Dodgers, I hope you come back and.
Speaker 9 (29:01):
I'll see you here whenever I manage to s all Right,
thank you, sir, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
All right.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Miggie Rohas what a man this guy is.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Like to thank Petros for popping by. That guy is
always great. I got a lot of texts saying have
him on every Friday. That would be my choice as well.
And Miggi Rojas, Miguel Rojas came on with us. That
was a that's a true hero of mine. And I
got to meet him. That is one of the coolest
things I've ever done. Get to sit there and talk
(29:40):
to the guy who hit the home run in Toronto
to extend the Dodgers series and go on to win
back to back world series.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
And it was great because as soon as he got
done with the interview, he came over to give you
a hug.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
He posted the video on on your socials at Conway Show.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Check it out.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I could have done three minutes on that hug, like
three seconds. Yeah, I didn't want to, you know, take
up too much to I think he owes me two
minutes and fifty seven seconds.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
It was obviously you you were a slow release.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah you might letting go.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I put my hat on his shoulder like I was
in third grade. My dad was picking me up. It
actually was really sweet.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
Ah sweet.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Speaking of a really sweet there was a lady who
was working at age ninety two, and another woman saw
this put together a GoFundMe for it, because you shouldn't
be working at ninety two because you can't pay your bills.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
A woman shopping in a clothing store was stunned when
she saw a ninety two year old woman still working
to pay the bills, so she decided to do something
about it.
Speaker 10 (30:47):
She's still working at age ninety two. Urial Conic is
a sales associate at a Burlington store in Papeno Beach, Florida.
She says, after a lifetime of hard work, she's bill
couldn't afford to retire. How come you weren't able to retire?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Because I'm not because she doesn't have the money. What
else could it be?
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Because I don't have enough of money to pay my bills.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
She doesn't have enough for money to pay her bills.
That's got to be the only reason.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
I don't have enough of money to pay my bills
and my trailer is falling apart.
Speaker 10 (31:24):
This kind hearted shopper was shocked to see the elderly
woman wheeling clothing racks at the store and clearing out
the dressing room.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
I was dumbfounded that a woman ninety two could still
be working and on her feet the entire time.
Speaker 10 (31:39):
April Steel is now organizing a gofund me account.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
That woman deserves an ad a girl, April Steel, she
deserves a huge pat on her back and a round
of applause for helping this lady out and enabling her
to retire.
Speaker 10 (31:55):
April Steel is now organizing a gofund me account that
has raised more than sixty dollars for Murieals.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Okay, well it was at sixty grand, now it's at
one hundred and seven thousand dollars, and now she's going
to retire next week.
Speaker 10 (32:09):
Your kitchen is all working pretty good, though. Yeah, money,
she says she really needs to pay her bills and
arrange repairs around her house.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Pay that trailer off with that hundred grand they do
wrong with her? Say this was coming up.
Speaker 9 (32:23):
And see that.
Speaker 10 (32:24):
Are you now able to retire?
Speaker 1 (32:26):
You know, Steph Fush, you should hook up with this lady. Yeah,
you know, get your go fundme her go fundme. You
guys could be the new sweethearts of go fundme. That
could be fun. Yeah, it would be. You know, she's
ninety two, so she's not gonna be around forever. Maybe
you could dip your beaconto that though, too, and then
get the extra cash that's trying to get a house.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yes, as soon as she gets some money, I'm.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
Out of there.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
So as she gets the money, Steph Foosh is in there.
Speaker 8 (32:55):

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
