Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI AM
at six forty Conway Show. The Los Angeles Dodgers are
playing tomorrow for the first time in Los Angeles, playing
for a World Series, first time in thirty six years.

(00:22):
That's a big deal. And there's a kid. His name
is Taylor Trammel. He's excited for the World Series. He
currently plays for the New York Yankees, but he also
played for the LA Dodgers, and I think that's him,
And so he's guaranteed a ring because I think the

(00:42):
minimum is five games. You have to play five games
with a team, and I think he played five games
with the Dodgers. Now he's on the Yankees, so he
gets a ring. Let me ask my good friend David
Vassy if that's true. David Vass with the LA Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Hi, you, Bob, I'm doing great. Conway here at Dodgers
Stadium as the Dodgers are taking batting practice, the Yankees concluded.
The two twin Towers of Aaron Judge and John Carlos
Stanton were out here. Earlier today, Media Day was out
here for the World Series, so it's really tangible. Now

(01:18):
this is going to happen, and tell.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Us about this, Taylor Trammel, Why is that story so important?

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Why is that so special?

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Taylor Trammel, don't really know why that's so special. Conways
me by surprise here.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Okay, well I just found this out, but I think
he gets a ring either way. He played for the
Dodgers earlier this year and now he plays for the Yankees.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Is that true?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
That that's correct? He was that happened so early in
the year that he was on this team, and he
really didn't make that much of an impact. So I mean,
that's why he wasn't on my radar.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
That's the last guy.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I mean, that is the biggest upset of the World
Series week that you're bringing up, Taylor Tramiel.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Right now, the guy gets a ring no matter who wins.
If he if the Dodgers when he gets a ring,
if the Yankees when he gets win, so screw it.
He they should are they are they should give him
one tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
So I guess, uh, yeah, you're right. So I guess
I shouldn't feel bad if the Dodgers win the World
Series and they say Hey, we want to give you
a ring. Right If Taylor Tremmeell's getting a ring, I
feel like I've put him more hours with the Dodgers
than he did.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
You earn a ring? Will they give you one?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I know all the Dodgers love you, especially Max Munsey.
Will will they present you with a ring at the
end of this if they win.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I did get one in twenty twenty. It's year to year.
You never know how they feel about me year to year.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Ton Way, buddy, this is exciting.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
This is the first time in your lifetime that that
you can you remember that you can remember the Dodgers
will play World Series in LA.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
That's right. I was not enough to remember the eighty
one World Series. Obviously, I was aware of it. My
first memories of watching Dodger baseball was probably nineteen eighty three. Okay,
so this is really it's everything and more that you
always hoped for. We came close in twenty seventeen to

(03:18):
have the Dodgers and Yankees, but those cheating Astros. Yeah,
she did the Yankees out of it, and then they
cheated the Dodgers obviously, But I mean this is I
was talking to Petros about this there's Dodger Stadium holds
fifty six thousand people. It's a big place, the biggest
attendance in all of Major League Baseball stadiums. This is

(03:40):
the toughest ticket in LA sports history. I've been alive.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Think about that. It's not the Forum, it's not seventeen
five oh five, fifty six thousand, and you can't get
a ticket to this game. Yeah. I know that.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
There was a lot of discussion here at iHeartMedia because
we carry the Dodgers on your station five seventy am.
And you know, even though we had a you know,
a basket of tickets, but they were all called for,
and man, people were texting even me saying, hey, do
you have any Dodger tickets?

Speaker 3 (04:12):
I'm like, why would I have them for?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
You're Tim Conway Junior right Monday on the show.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
That's right. Hey, do you think they'll give it a
ring to Kershaw if they win?

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh? Yeah, come on, yes, if they're giving Taylor Tremmella ring,
you're right now. He's been part of the team, he's
been invested, he pitched, all right, yes, geez.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
What what about We was two and two with a
four point five era.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
I'm telling you, Oh, okay, okay, hey buddy, what a
pretty cool scene out here. I was talking to Kershaw
on the field and we got interrupted by Andy Pettitt
Of all people, you're telling me Andy Pettitt'.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
That's a pretty cool deal. Is Andy Pettick retired? He's
got to be.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
He is, but he's in a special assistant with the Yankees.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
He's a great pitcher.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
There was Kershaw's favorite pitcher.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
He told me, Actually, let me ask you a question, buddy,
what time?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
And you know this better than anybody, and we're gonna
so we're gonna rely on you. If you live in Chatsworth,
game tomorrow's at five o'clock, what time would you leave
Chatsworth to get head to the stadium.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Gates will open three hours before first pitch, so I'm
leaving no later than one thirty.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Wow, that's great.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I'm the fi.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, that's right, buddy.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
I'm so Conway.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
I'm excited for you because you've been a Dodger fan
your whole life.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
You got to work with the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
And now you're one of the you know, one of
the only like two guys in the in the in
the in the clubhouse that the Dodgers actually like.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Huh uh, Well, it's a I'm lucky that I've been able.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
To build a trust you and Rick Monday.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Well, Rick, Rick doesn't really dip this in the clubhouse anymore.
A lot of former players actually feel like they never
want to go into the clubhouse unless absolutely necessary. So
Rick stays on the field and in the boots.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
You know, we had Tim Kates.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
I was, I ran into Tim Kates in the hallway here,
and he does you know Dodgers, he does Betters the money,
he does, uh you know, Raiders, he does UCLA, works
his ass off here at.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Five seven area.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Quirky guys.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
But I said, I said to him, hey, we had
Rick Monday on.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
And he stopped in his tracks and turned around and
he said what I said, Yeah, we had Rick Monday on.
He said, Rick won't even come on my show, but
he came on ours.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Well, he's a big fan of Tim Conway.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
I'm a big fan of that. Dude's that Ricky.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Kate should be jealous. He should be happy that you
had Rick on. Why would he be jealous about that? Where?

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Where are no?

Speaker 2 (06:52):
So the Dodgers are Dusty Baker on his show.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, Dusty Baker's big we have everybody are the Dodgers
right now at BP.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, And actually one of the biggest question marks Conway
going into the series is Dodger All Star first baseman
Freddy Freeman, who's been dealing with a severely sprained right
ankle all October and he did not play in the
clinching NLCS game about a week ago, so he's had
extended period of time to get his right ankle straight.

(07:25):
So he will be in the starting lineup tomorrow. And
he was just in the cage taking batting practice.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Do you want to hear a crazy stat?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Sure postseason Dodgers twenty twenty four are three to zero
when Freddy Freeman's not in the lineup.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, Mookie Betts was talking about that. That's got to
say the jokes that they went even without Freddy.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
That's how deep this team is. Buddy, Do you remember book?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
I know vast say you remember this because I remember this,
But you remember the old Dodger team that if they
Houston Astros of the Braves got to the seventh, eighth
and ninth batter, you go get a beer.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Or a bag of chips or a Pretze or whatever.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
But now every single at bat, every single Dodger that
comes up is capable of hitting a home run, every
one of them.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
That's actually really true. But the one thing that it
feels like an All Star gamely, Tim, when you think
about it, you got Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, John Carlos
Stanton on the Yankee side. On the Dodger side, you
got Mooki O'tani, Freddie Freeman, Max Munsey. I mean, there

(08:35):
is no time to get up out of your seats
in the middle of this game. And that's why I
really do encourage Dodger fans to get here at least
an hour before first pitch. Like, be in the stadium
an hour before first pitch. Get your Dodger dogs, just
like be ready. It's going to be a great pregame
ceremony tomorrow. Brad Paisley, who's a huge Dodger fan, is

(08:57):
going to be performing the national and them and Oral
Herscheizer is going to be throwing out the first pitch
to Steve Jeger, two teammates of Fernando Vealezuela. And being
here tonight, Tim at Dodgers Stadium, when you walk in,
there are memorials for Fernando all over the stadium, and
the Dodgers are going to be wearing number thirty four

(09:19):
a patch with number thirty four on their jersey sleeves
during the World Series in honor of Fernando Vealezuela.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Isn't the manager of the Yankees? Is his last name? Boone?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Aaron Boone, Bob Boone?

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Okay, he went to USC Dave Roberts went to UCLA.
There's that kind of there's that rivalry as well, going on.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
To a certain extent. I don't really believe that's the
connection between those two. Conaway, It's kind of contrived. They
don't really have great passion or animosity towards each other.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Okay, okay, all right, but you know, we got to
pump it up on radio. You got to say the opposite.
You got to say it's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
They're going to show up with the you know, the
Trojans marching band versus the UCLA marching band and go crazy.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Conway, I'm gonna give you the storyline between the two managers.
Good their jobs were on the line if they did
not make it to the world.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Saw both of them both.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Boone as well, was on the hot seat, extremely hot seat.
If he did not make it to the World Series.
People in LA were talking about who was going to
replace Dave Roberts. Wow, they were down two games to
one to the Padres. Now there are columns being written
about Dave Roberts. If he wins this, he's a surefire Hall.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Of Famer easily, easily.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
You know who the happiest guy in America is today?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Who's that?

Speaker 3 (10:49):
A guy named Eric Shanks? Does that ring a bell?

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Fox?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Fox Sports runs Fox Sports. He has the Yankees and
Dodgers in the World Series.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Doesn't get better than being Eric Shanks?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
How do you screw that up?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
You don't? Cat? Fox does a great job.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
What what?

Speaker 5 (11:08):
So?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
The game starts at five oh eight. Have you noticed
that these playoff games are going much longer than regular
season games?

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Is that TV timeouts?

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Well? A lot of bullpenying games from the Dodgers side,
and the Dodger Padres games reminded me of Yankees Red Sox,
that's how hotly contested they were.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
But I am so efan jealous that you're out there
and I'm not. I'm sitting here in Burbank with you know,
Steph fush with Bellio.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah sucks, It could be worse.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Sucks.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Why don't you get somebody else on the show that
Tim Kates would be jealous of?

Speaker 3 (11:45):
I have him right now?

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, baby doing?

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Hey, who's your favorite player on the team, And don't
say don't You can't say.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Well, I'd say the guys that cooperate the most are
my favorite, like Monsey Kershaw, Freddy Freeman. Freddy Freeman's a throwback,
He's a Hey, buddy, crew pro.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I know you're busy out there, but I want to
talk to you for another two hours.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Can you stay with us? Uh?

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Well, I have Dodger Talk at five at seven o'clock.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Okay, how about another segment then? Yeah, you're the best, buddy, Buddy.
I'll buy you a hot dog and when I'm out there.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Next time, you want more Taylor Trammell Talk?

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Part two?

Speaker 1 (12:26):
You're just pissed you didn't know who he was, buddy,
and I scooped you. That's what's going on.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
I completely forgot him.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Okay, all right, I stay with us. David Vasse is
the best. He's the number one Dodger in my book.
I'd draft him first if I had to start a
team draft him first.

Speaker 6 (12:42):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty can I.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Am support its Conway Show.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
I talked to Dean Sharp and he's going to be
on with us in about fifteen minutes. And I apologize,
but this is a once in a lifetime deal to
talk about the Dodgers, and he understands. David Vassay is
with us. David Vassie, I got to stand for you here, buddy.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
I I'm still here at Conway and no sign of
Taylor Tremmell for the Yankee Lord Dodgers at Dodgers State.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Okay, I got a stand for you.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Between nineteen forty one and nineteen eighty one, the Dodgers
and Yankees played each other eleven times. This is the
first time that they've played each other since nineteen eighty one.
That's correct, So forty years they met eleven times. In
the last forty three years they met once.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah. Well, the Yankees dominated the nineties while the Dodger
and the Yankees had some issues with George Steinbrenner in
the late eighties, so they didn't make it back after
eighty one until nineteen ninety six, I believe. So both
these franchises have had different valleys of time where it

(14:01):
just didn't line up for them to be able to
be this good at the same time. So, you know,
the Dodgers that were good in the late eighties were
good in the entire nineteen eighties even after eighty one.
The Yankees were not. In the nineties, the Dodgers really
weren't that great, and then the O'Malley sold and kind

(14:22):
of went into a spiral years until this ownership bought
the team. So I would say it's just been a
lot of different extenuating circumstances that have prevented these two
story franchises from meeting in the Fall Classic for forty
three years.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
That's right, buddy. You know, I didn't know this. I
just had to look this up.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
There are sixteen one six sixteen thousand parking spots at
Dodgers Stadium, and the cheapest spot to get in over
the weekend or tomorrow night is seventy dollars to get in.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Well, I've been to different cities where I have seen
parking go for over one hundred dollars conways, So I
guess all things considered, it could be a lot worse.
But that's a lot of money to pay just to
park your car.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
It's way, it's it's a lot. Now do they set
you up nice?

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Because I remember a couple of years ago, I think
I can't remember what it was. I think it was
during the twenty twenty playoff series that they didn't treat
you well. You weren't treated like a star out there,
and you got your your you got all crazy out there.
They treating you better this time around.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, that was out in twenty seventeen at the Istros. Right,
they put me up at a hotel like forty five
minutes away from the stadium, and there was a murder
in the parking lot across the street from a week earlier.
But yeah, I feel like the Dodgers have really treated
me great the last five or six years, so I

(15:54):
have no complaints. They have been definitely appreciative of, you know,
the way I bring the coverage to the fans and
humanize their players.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Did you go when they when they took a planeload
of players and a planeload of family and employees.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Which plane were you on?

Speaker 2 (16:09):
I was on? The players want to be alone that's
a new thing this postseason where it's a player's only
flight and the broadcasters and employees are on a separate place.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Do you sit next to Rick Monday on the plane?

Speaker 2 (16:23):
I sit five or six rows behind him?

Speaker 3 (16:27):
And who do you sit next to?

Speaker 2 (16:31):
It varies. There's no set seating. It's just a loud
card of people. So sometimes I'll have my own rows.
Sometimes I'll sit next to our producer engineer Dwayne McDonald.
There is no real assigned seating.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
What all, okay, what what?

Speaker 5 (16:47):
What?

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Dodgers Classic Hall of Famers? What we see at the game?
Sandy Kofax types? Who are going to see on Friday?

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Wow? Yeah, Cofax will be here for sure. If Ken
Griff and his dad were at the Laker game last
night here at Dodgers Stadium, Yeah, I'm actually interested to see,
Like how many stars do come out? Did you see
Brad Pitt was at the last series for two games.
I didn't see the Dodgers state for two games.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah. And and your boy Jimmy Kimmel was out there too.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
That's not my guy, that's not your guy. He's a
Mets fan.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Yeah, I think you're right, buddy, there's gonna be a
lot of a lot of celebrities out there.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
I think, you know, you get starstruck.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Do I get starstruck? I'm like, I'm like, you know,
I grew up in the Valley Flats.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Of course I get starstruck. But you know it's not
going to be out there. Lebron James, Well, Lebron is
a very well known Yankees fan. Oh, I didn't know
that bron.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
The Chameleon will show up at any game wearing a
Yankees hat. And then when he was playing for his
hometown Calves chearing on the Guardian slash Indians, and then
he was at you know, one of the Dodgers Padres
games without a Dodger hat or maybe with a Dodger
hat on or a Lebron branded hat. So if Lebron
shows up with a Yankees hat or even with no hat,

(18:19):
just know where his loyalties lie.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Okay, but Bronnie, my favorite Laker is a Dodger fan,
is he?

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Well, that's hard to say. I don't know that for
a fact.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
I made a bet.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
I'll take your word for it.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
This as not doing with the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
But I made a twenty dollars bet that Bronnie James
wins the MVP this year.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Can I get in on that bet. I'll go against you.
I'll take on that a buddy.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
I'm so jealous. I can hear your voice, how excited
you are. You're like a child out there. And I
wish I was out there sitting next to you, buddy, I.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Wish you were too, Conway, we'd have a great time
out here. But I think you'll have the best see
in the house in your palatial Tarzana suite.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
I dare you.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
All right, buddy, you're the best, and we want you
on every night that the Dodgers are playing.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
So we'll talk to you tomorrow as well.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
All right, sounds good. Thank you for having me.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Ton Wayeudy, thanks for coming on. You always say not
yes to us. I really appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah, potted him down. That's the way to go now,
that Bell. I totally appreciate that. We got the last word.
And you know, it's our show. It's not his screw
with that guy, but that guy, man, what a life
he's got going on. He's at Dodgers Stadium watching the
Dodgers bp perfect weather.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Sitting there looking at that What a life that guy's
got going on.

Speaker 6 (19:47):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty FI AM.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Six fortys Conway Show. I like to think David Vassa
for coming on with us. It is time for Dean
Sharp the House for every Saturday and Sunday morning right
here on KFI. Dan, how you, Bob, I'm good. I'm good, buddy,
I'm so glad you're on. I apologize for the delay,
but I was hanging a photo last night in our
house and then I came in today and this is

(20:13):
the perfect timing for this because I am not going
to buy another toggle bolt in my life.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yeah. Well, yeah, that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
You have to You have to drill such a big
hole to get to get it in there, and then
once it's in there, it's in Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
And you do you have plaster walls?

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yes, yeah, plaster walls.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Oh yeah. I hate it. I hate it. It's concrete.
You're drilling through concrete.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
I know, and you and I look.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
The insulation is nice and the soundproofing is nice, but
other than that, everything else is a loser.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
You know it's true, and you know What I also
can't stand is, and it happens about two or three
times a year where I'm I'm sleeping, it's three o'clock,
four o'clock in the morning, and I hear a pitture
downstairs drop because I put a command strip in like
a loser.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah. Well, or the house is haunted because it's like
one hundred years old.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Maybe that's possible as well.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
I will say though, that about two days after my
dad had passed away, I heard a crash down the
liveringy and went downstairs and the one picture I have
on the wall was him and it fell to the ground.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
That's a true story.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
Whoa you see see what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yeah, but the command strips, they sound like a great idea,
but I don't know if they dry up or or
they get moist in the winter or in the summer
or whatever, and they dry out and then they they
fall and they're constantly I constantly have to replace them.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
Yeah, they're you know, I mean, it's a decent idea,
but it's so dependent on how well it's stuck on there. Yes,
there's like ten different factors that affect whether they're going
to hold or nothing.

Speaker 6 (21:49):
What do you like.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
Do you like the curve crazy wired look like a
big c.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
Uh. Yeah? The monkey hook.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
The monkey hook.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
That's right, anybody, anybody who's got regular dry wall, right,
the monkey hook. I think it's one of the most
brilliant inventions in the history of picture hanging. If you
haven't seen a monkey hook, run to your computer right
now and look it up. A monkey hook wall. It's
one piece. First of all, it makes a tiny little hole.

(22:17):
It has a little you know, angled cut in like
a surgical you know, syringe, so you don't need any tools.
You push it in. It goes through the drywall, and
then as you put it into place, the curved back
curls up, pushes against the back of the dry wall.

(22:37):
It's secure, it's never going anywhere. It leaves a tiny
little hole behind. It's a brilliant, brilliant hanging device.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
It might be the greatest idea ever in the last
twenty five years.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
It may be, And you know, I can't believe people
aren't talking about it every single day.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
And the guy who invented it and sold it to
a company I believe in Irvine. I think Hillman Solutions
bought it or something like that, and for not that
much money, and now they're making tons of money off
this thing.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
I have no doubt. I did not know that you've
gone way deeper into the monkey barrel than I am.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
There.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I love the monkey hook.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
What do you recommend, you know, depend on weight?

Speaker 4 (23:15):
I guess yeah it. You know, there are a number
of factors you got to let you know in your case.
Of course, you've got to figure out what your kind
of wall you're hanging stuff off of, right, it's going
to be dry wall, plaster, wood, concrete, you know, they
all have to be treated differently. And then you got
to consider the weight of the object, and you got

(23:35):
to figure out what its anchor points are, and you
kind of combine those things together. We come up a
little formula of like, all right, we're gonna work with
this as our optimal thing. It astounds me how many
folks just to walk into I guess the hardware store
and say hey, I need to hang a picture, and
some guy just points them to oh, yeah, I get
that stuff right there. And it almost always liked this

(23:55):
expansion stuff, these little expansion sleeves for dry And that
is the worst decision ever. I like, you get over it.
I'm just telling you. Okay, drywall is made out of gypsum.
You know what gypsum is famous for. It is literally
the softest mineral on planet Earth.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Oh I didn't know that.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
Okay, Yeah, and it's why, you know, because it's light soft.
And so the idea of putting something a wedge into
it and then letting that wedge like squeeze against the gypsum,
which is like, you know, trying to get something secured
in a thing of baby powder. Uh, it's just not
gonna work. You got to either get behind it or

(24:38):
you got to stay on the surface. But don't put
an expansion thing into your drywall because they all every
single story turns out exactly the same.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Can you remember the bigger hole and you move on?

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Do you remember the late nineties early two thousands with
all that contaminated drywall that came from China. Yeah, oh yeah,
it turned green, got all crazy. Yeah, and people were
saving like nine cents, you know, it was like literally
the savings was almost zero.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
Yeah. Well, don't put it past people to, you know,
save a penny or two where they can.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah, but I do I think pictures having pictures in
the house what my wife does, and I think it's
a great idea.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
She'll put a big, huge piece of.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Paper on the wall and then chart it out and
do the design on the wall and then put the
you know, put the paper up on the wall and
then make the holes, and so she knows what, you
know what, at least what kind of design is going
to be on the wall. I think that's a great
idea instead of just you know, haphazard. Oh my gosh,
that is so the right way to go.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
It is so there. And you know, I'm a I'm
a big fan of blue tape. Blue masking tape. Blue
masking tape sticks doesn't stick great, it sticks just long enough,
and so you can use blue masking tape and just
you know, we draw pictures on walls with blue masking tape.
We do layouts, and we stand back and we look
at it, and you know, I just I wish more
people would do what your wife does, just kind of

(26:00):
plan it all out ahead of time instead of the
typical which I get, which is like, uh, you know,
the guy just dives in and he's like, hey, babe,
come on over right, I got got four hangars in
this thing. Tell me if you think it's in the
right place.

Speaker 5 (26:13):
I got a question about the blue masking painter's tape
because I'm I've been taping up a room that I'm
that I'm getting ready to paint, and I've seen the
thing because it doesn't stick well enough to keep paint
from getting underneath it. And I've heard you wet it
down to enact the sort of adhesive in it.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, what about frog tape? That's yeah,
frog tape, that's what you need. So blue frog tape
is if you if you're gonna use masking tape the
way most people think, uh to use masking tape, all right,
meaning Hey, I'm gonna put an edge on this thing,
and I'm gonna paint half over the tape and half
on the wall, and when I pull that off, it's
gonna be a clean line. Blue tape is not the

(26:50):
tape to use. Uh Yeah, And it's actually does it's
not really meant for that. It's really not meant for that.
It's meant for like sticking plastic on the wall and
doing various things like that, just general masking. You want
frog tape and frog tape, it's that's a brand name.
It comes in you know, different manufacturers, but it's almost
always green. And you can tell a frog tape because

(27:12):
it comes in a tupperware container. Essentially it comes to
the lasting container. And here's the thing. You know what,
once you open it up and you use it, don't
throw the container way put it back in there because
it is air sensitive. But what the frog tape does
it has a very very special adhesive right on the edges.
As soon as that edge gets wet, not because you're
wetting it with a sponge, as soon as it gets

(27:35):
wet from the paint, it gelatinizes and seals against the wall.
Oh all right, frog tape is the way to go
if you need a straight edge, Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
And I've also noticed that there's been some in the
last five or ten years. And you know, you do
this million times better than I do. Man, there's some
advancements when it comes to paint. There's scuff proof paint.
There is paint you can put on exterior wall where
it's anti graffiti. I mean, they've really made some strides.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
There's some paint that if you if it starts to
get graffiti rat it just reaches out and slaps.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
It I haven't picked that one up yet. That's a
great idea, though.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
No, but you're right, we've we've come light years in
just the last decade or so with paint and the
scuff proof stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
You know.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
Benjamin Moore came out with a with a commercial product
called scuff X a few years back. I was so
impressed with it that I painted the inside of my
house with it. And so it's supposed to be for
like public space buildings like libraries. But now now, of course, uh,
they've taken that technology and put it into their interior
house paints, so you get the best of both worlds.

(28:44):
And it's just it's amazing stuff.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
I saw a video on that where a guy took
a hockey puck and tried to scuff up scuff up
the wall and he couldn't do it.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
It's great he can't do it. I can't do it,
and if you succeed, you can wipe it right off.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Buddy.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
I appreciate you coming on. We'll talk to you next Thursday.
Go Dodgers, Go Dodgers, dig dong with you, all right?

I'm gonna keep the guy around.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
I'll shut down those lyrics.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
All right, we're live on KFI AM six forty. If
you're looking for a place to look at the Dodger
game tomorrow and you don't have the money to go,
like a lot of people, you can go to a
bunch of bars. First of all, Maroano's got a fantastic bar.
I can go to Sideline Sports Bar there and watch
the entire game at Moranco.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
LA's Sorted Pizzeria.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
La Sorted Pizzeria combines America's favorite pastime, pizza and baseball.
The Boomtown Brewery is another great one, And then there's
a list from Dodger Nation.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Dodger Nation has a great list of place you.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Can go, and I'm gonna give you some of them

traffic bell? Is that traffic mic?

Speaker 3 (30:56):

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Elcam Padre. That's at fourteen forty nine West Sunset Boulevard.
They're going to have the game. They're the shortstop fourteen
five five one four five five Sunset Boulevard. That's gonna
be a cool place to watch a game. These will
all be loaded with Dodger fans. Thirty three Taps is
another one thirty seven to twenty five Sunset Boulevard. Another

(31:23):
one is low Boy fifteen forty Sunset Boulevard. A lot
of these near Dodge Stadium, So maybe not a great
day to go to mar home home Bound brew House.
Home Bound brew House that's at eight hundred North Alameda
in Los Angeles. Another great bar thirty five or three

(31:43):
five eer thirty five that's a twelve East Colorado Boulevard
in Pasadena. So you're not gonna be going into downtown
LA and get caught up in the traffic. It opens
at three p m. So slide over to thirty five.
Enjoy the game over there. The Office, the Great Bar,
twenty four to twelve North Broadway. It's gonna be tough

(32:03):
to get to, but once you're there, you'll enjoy yourself.
The Gold Room fifteen fifty eight West Sunset Boulevard another
place jammed with Dodger fans. And this is coming from
Dodgers Nation dot com. The Douglas fourteen one hundred West
Sunset Boulevard opens at nine am. It's a good a

(32:28):
good time man, nine am, so go enjoy the game,
and please, please, please remember tomorrow is going to be
the worst traffic that you've seen, perhaps in your life.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
You've got to leave early.

Speaker 7 (32:45):
You can expect more gridlock. Dare I say a possible
event Carmageddon, a tragestion throughout Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Can't We can't say this enough. Tomorrow is going to
be the worst traffic you've seen, probably in your life.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
In downtown Los ang Angels.

Speaker 7 (33:02):
Starting an Allegian Park. Game one of the World Series
between the Dodgers and the Yankees will take over Dodgers
Stadium at five h eight pm.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Sixty thousand people will be at that game. I know
the capacity is fifty six thousand, but there's a lot
of employees, a lot of Lemo drivers, a lot of cops,
a lot of people there. Fifty sixty thousand people will
be at Dodger Stadium Tomorrow night.

Speaker 7 (33:26):
At cryptodal Com Arena, the Lakers will hit the court
for a game against the Suns at seven pm.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Another twenty thousand there. So we're already up to eighty
thousand people who normally are not in downtown LA.

Speaker 7 (33:38):
Eighty thousand people and USC football fans will pack the
LA Coliseum for a game against Rutgers at eight pm.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Rutgers has a huge following in Los Angeles. Another forty
thousand there. So what are we up to? Sixty twenty
and forty one hundred and twenty thousand people in downtown
LA that are not normally there?

Speaker 7 (33:59):
Three events just miles apart, all impacting your afternoon and
evening commute.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
And then there's more.

Speaker 7 (34:05):
So plan ahead as you're clear of the one oh one,
the five, the one ten, the two, the ten, and
surrounding streets if you can.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Okay, those are all the the are the only ways
to get into Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
She just said to avoid all of them. Well you can't.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
You can't avoid all of them if you go to
Union Station, if you take the light rail down to
Union Station or La Metro and you survive the ride.
The bus ride is free from Union Station to Union
Station at Dodger Stadium. And not only is it free
if you have a Dodger ticket, but they have their
own special bus lane where they can avoid the traffic

(34:41):
and get you from Union Station to Dodger Stadium probably
in ten minutes, maybe fifteen minutes. They're gonna have to
make some stops, but it's gonna be an easy way
to get into the stadium and an easy way to
get out. But I will tell you this, the line
to get on a bus after the Dodger game's over.
If it's a close game, everyone stays till the end.
You want to get your money's worth. You paid, you know,

(35:02):
twelve grand for a ticket. That line at the end
is going to be a couple thousand people long, and
it moves pretty quickly.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
So even though there's you.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Know, twenty five hundred people in front of you, it's
going to move pretty quickly. They have that down at
Dodger Stadium. The buses all right, go Dodgers. We'll be
on all afternoon tomorrow, starting with Bill Handle, starting with
wake Up Call with Amy King, then Bill Handle, then
Gary and Shannon, John callbout our Show and Mo Kelly.
We will have the traffic for you all day long.

Tomorrow is going to be the worst traffic ever and
we will guide you through it. And if you're stuck
in traffic, we will be there entertain you, give you
Dodger Fax, tell you what's going on all day long.
With all these events, you must listen to a KFI tomorrow.
