Dodger trivia, real quick, Dodger trivia for you see if

But there was a big deal back in what year
was it? Wait, hold on second, let me do the
story and then I'll tell you when we're gonna do
the whip around. But it's gonna be big. So I'm
glad you got the music ready. That's great. When Mark Walter,
founder of the investment group Gggenheim Partners, when they bought
(01:32):
the bankrupt Dodgers back in twenty twelve, they overpaid. They
paid almost two point one billion dollars for the Dodgers that,
by the way, does not include the parking lot, includes
the stadium, includes the team. That's it. They don't get
the parking lot. That's still the old owners have that.
(01:57):
So the Dodgers sold in twelve, they were bankrupt. They
sold for two point one billion dollars. All right, now,
whip around time, Let's roll it. What are the Dodgers
worth today? They were sold for two point one billion
(02:18):
dollars back in twenty twelve. Let's start with a fellow. Okay,
what are the Dodgers worth today?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I'm gonna guess forty five billion, forty star forty five billion, yes.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Right? Well, we can scratch off Lindsey and Bella from
big Dodger fans. Okay, the actual retail price. They were
sold for two point one billion dollars in twenty eleven.
The Dodgers are now worth six point three billion. Krozier
wins six point three billion dollars, man, is that a
(03:35):
lot of money? Triple your investment? In twenty eleven twenty
twelve they spend two point one billion dollars and now yeah,
twenty twelve, two point one billion dollars. And now that
team's a worth six point three which helped with the
power the Walter the empower Walter to a personal fortune
(03:58):
of twelve billion dollars. He's part of the Guggenheimer crew.
Mark Walter is worth twelve million dollars. So they spend
two point one billion for the Dodgers twelve years ago,
and in twelve years they've tripled their money.

the way to go. Very tight knit families there, the
Armenian crew very tight. All right. We're live on KFI.
We have the Dodgers we're watching. They're playing the Yankees
zero zero in the fourth inning, I believe top bottom
of the fourth what's going on in Iran with Israel
(06:37):
bombing some military targets in Iran? And then we also
have the five Freeway southbound closed near Lake Casteake. So
lots going on. No way, can you listen to another
station tonight? I know normally you know music, I don't
know other you know language radios. I get it, I
(06:58):
get it. There's plenty of radio stations out there, not tonight,
not tonight, No way. Now, with everything going on, you
need KFI. You need us tonight, and so we'll be
there for you.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Can't I am six? It is The Conway show Man.
That is a busy afternoon, in a busy evening here
in southern California. We've got it all covered for you though.
We've got the Los Angeles Dodgers. Maybe you're driving by
Dodger Stadium. You can see the lights on. Is it
dark almost another half hour, so you'll be able to
(07:35):
see him When you drive by Cheves Ravine. You can
see the lights there. From Dodger Stadium. You'll also notice
the Colisseum lights will be on tonight. USC is gonna
be playing Rutgers home games starting up believe at eight
o'clock that game starts the Lakers. You won't be able
to see the lights there, but they'll be on at
Crypto the Lakers playing tonight. Then you've got two concerts,
(07:56):
a concert into it, Dome Elo is playing at the
K four. And then you've got the big rivalry, the
East LA football game going on in at Sofi Stadium.
So it's a big deal. Lots going on, and people
are trying to get to Los Angeles on the five
free win. Can't do it. It's closed at Lake Casteak closed.
(08:21):
Plus how about this Monday and Tuesday of this week,
we're looking at rain. Twenty percent chance on rain on Monday,
twenty percent chance of rain on Tuesday. Yes, Angel Martinez in.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Cast Steak though they are, if they haven't done it yet,
they're working on getting that right lane open. And then
you said all lanes should be opening about a couple
of hours.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Well, the High we patrol.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Just said the same thing, is that right, Yeah, we're
getting that right lane open and hope to have all
lanes open in the next couple of hours.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
That's great news, Open them up, open them up, all right,
we're covering that. Also in Iran, the Israelis have struck
back against Iran. Some military targets struck in and around
Tehran in northern Iran. That's what looks like so far.
And so we have that as well. And then tomorrow
the Dodgers will play Game two against the Yankees at
(09:12):
Dodger Stadium, five oh eight, first pitch, So leave early.
Maybe you learn today to leave early or than you
did today. And the big Morongo party is tomorrow night,
Tomorrow night, so a lot of people will be heading
from Los Angeles out to Morongo to enjoy the big
party there from six to eight pm. So lots going on.
(09:34):
We've got you all covered here in Los Angeles. And
a cool way to watch the game, the Dodger game
tonight and I believe tomorrow night as well. There's a
big theater out in Inglewood called Cosm Cosm. It looks
like a mini sphere from Las Vegas, and when you're
sitting there, it looks like you're at Dodger Stadium and
(09:56):
they're gonna be playing the Dodger game tonight. It's going
on there right now out in tomorrow night as well.
So that's a great place to go. If you can't
afford or you can't for some reason get to Dodger Stadium.
You can slide in there and it looks like you're
at the game. You can watch a game with what
one thousand or five hundred wherever the max is there
of Dodger fans with you.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
Doors opened here about fifteen minutes ago. Fans are starting
to trickle in. These are the general admission seats. Fans
over here just rush together then too, these seats before
the big game. Tickets here sold out within seven minutes.
A lot of people excited to come.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Here seven minutes to sell out the stadium for the.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
Game, because you get that stadium experience. Right right now,
it looks like we are in Zervant, Switzerland. But pretty
soon here they're going to turn on the game and
everyone is gonna go nuts. And I do expect a
home field advantage inside cosm of Los Angeles, a much
cheaper ticket. We were saying tickets here about thirty dollars
(10:54):
to get in the door, fifty dollars for general emission,
and then these assigned seats down here, two fifty ish.
So a lot of people excited. And you can tell
the energy. It's starting to turn up here ahead of
World Series Game one.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It feeling like October. That's right, all right, Back to
the Dodgers. Vanuy's memorabilia store remembers Fernando Valenzuela, and they
did a nice dedication to Fernando. They're gonna be wearing
number thirty four, the Dodgers wearing number thirty four on
their jerseys tonight and all of next year, in twenty
the twenty twenty five season, all of next year. All right,
(11:31):
Dodgers getting out of the fifth inning, I believe we
see if they pop up here at the score, Max
Bunsey with the pickup over to Freddy Freeman, and that's
a rap, and I believe they're going into the bottom
of the fifth. Is that right? Bottom of the fifth?
Zero zero tie? What a game at Dodgers Stadium where
(11:54):
where they remembered Fernando.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Valenzuela on the Cardboard Legends Instagram account. Video clips show
that happy morning this passed August, and nowhere was that
more apparent than on the face of Dodgers superstar Fernando
Vealezuela himself.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
We've been trying to get O for five years.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
Owner Mike Sablo watched as about one hundred ticketed fans
crowded into Cardboard Legends, each given a few minutes to
be with their hero and take home a treasure.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
They got to hang out and take photos and meet
and greet, and it was great.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
No one could have known that the guy who launched
Fernando Mania in the nineteen eighties, a hero and role
model to millions, would soon be gone. Mike says he
looked thinner than usual and seemed a little tired, but
he set about the task at hand with Gusto.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
His penmanship is incredible.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
He signed official eighty one World Series Baseball's jerseys photos.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Man, how lucky if you got one of those Fernando
this year.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
He did that, even stopping to pose with Mike's son
and store employees Adria and Flores among them.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
You would always say I'm Muchelina, meaning was there a long.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
Line Vealinzuela didn't talk talk much about his career, his accomplishments,
or even the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Adrian says, he is just more.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
About he's her first fan. To Mandy, he put his.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Nickname El Toro. He wrote eighty one World's Chams. Mike says.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
The fans who snaged some memorabilia that day did quite
well for themselves from a collector's perspective. For example, signed
baseballs were going for two hundred bucks.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
Now those baseballs between five hundred, one thousand dollars.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
But more importantly, they now have a piece of Dodger's
history and the chance to tell everyone about meeting Fernando
himself and what was likely one of his last public
appearances ever. To a true fan, that's priceless.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
The guys who run this store say, we may never
know exactly why Aleanzuela chose to make that appearance, but
judging by the look on his face, he really just
wanted to connect with his fans, and in the process
he gave them an incredible gift.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Well, I know why Fernando went there, you know where
he said this.
Speaker 10 (13:54):
The guys who run this store say, we may never
know exactly why Aleanzuela chose to make that appearance.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
He made it because he committed to it, and he's
that kind of guy.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Yeah, that's why he made it his rookie season in
eighty one. I was thirteen and just one how he
played cemented me as a Dodgers fan, even living on
the East Coast and around DC. But just the way
he carried himself and the humility that he maintained just
I mean, we never know these people truly, but everything
(14:25):
he gave off was the humbleness that he kept throughout
his entire life. And I think that's that's a big
part of why people love him so much. I'm going
to should have been like like a specifically, who comes
to mind is someone like yes, pet who had the
world in his hands, Oh yeah, and craped it away
as a Dodger.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah. Some Dodgers do that, yeah, you know, and they
get traded away pretty quickly. Yeah, they do stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah. But Fernando, man, he held it all the way
to the end.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And Fernando had every right to be pissed too, because
he went through some lean years after the the you know,
his during the last you know, six months with the
Dodgers and then he was, you know, traded. That was
a bad scene for the Dodgers. They made up with
him and they brought him back as announcer, which was great.
But I'm going to chalk this up to either I
(15:07):
was drinking too much or I'm not that bright. But
I can only chalk it up to one or the other.
But a body of mine, a guy named Robbie Fox,
I said, hey, you know I was at the Dodger
nineteen eighty one opener with my dad and my brother's
my sister. And he said, no, you weren't And I said, yeah,
I was there. He said, no, you weren't with your dad.
(15:30):
You were with me. And we were on a double
date with two girls. And I don't remember that. You
don't remember the date. I don't remember, So I was
either I was only eighteen. I was either drinking too much.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You don't remember the date at all, not even the
fact that it was on that I remember the game,
I just didn't remember. I remember who I was with,
but I didn't remember who I was with.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Isn't that weird? Or how about this? The third choice?
I was such a huge Dodger fan that it didn't
matter who was with concentrating on the game. I was
one of those kids when I used to take the Dodger,
I mean the beach bus from the valley. Would take
the RTD to the beach and there's three transfers, you know,
all day to get there, you know, two hours, two
(16:11):
and a half hours to get there, two and a
half hours to get home because our lazy parents would
never drive us. You know now parents drive kids everywhere.
Back then get on the bus. Yeah, I'm gonna go
to the beach at Santa Monica. Take two and a
half hours. You're going that way anyway, can you give
me a ride? Get on the bus. You get on
the bus. You're stupid. Friends. So I would take the
bus to the beach, and well I went with like
(16:34):
four guys and four gals. They'd all be playing frisbee
and going to the beach and you know, maybe I
don't know, a drink or whatever. I was sitting on
the beach reading the sports section from the La Times.
I was reading Jim Murray sitting on the beach at
age fourteen to fifteen with buddies.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
That's hot.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
That's pretty hot. Huh yeah. Yeah, And one of my
friends came up Matt McDaniel and says, hey, He goes, uh,
why do you read the new paper all the time?
I said, I want to keep up on what you know,
keep up on what's happening in the world. And he said, yeah,
but that that those stories change all the time. Uh. Yeah,
that's why. That's why I read it. More information comes
(17:16):
out more and more information comes out. So big dwell
with you?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
The Los Angeles Dodgers in the bottom of the fifth
with one out and keik a Hernandez, my guy, my
favorite player, thank you? Just at a triple. That's a
second triple in this uh in this game?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Are those like the only hits they've had or.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Something of that. Ef It's it's very hard to hit
a triple. It's the hardest hit. It's the hardest hit
in baseball. It's the least frequent hit in baseball. Singles
are the first doubles or second home runs or third
triples or fourth very difficult to do because the outfielder
has to miss it, they have to misplay it, basically,
or it has to take a bad bounce for you
(17:58):
to get a triple. And that just happens. So key
k Hernandez on third with one out in the fifth inning,
and we will keep you updated on what shakes down here.
Maybe Dodger score.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty k five Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
It's con My show. Yeah, Dodgers, ah man, they're up
one nothing man, we're going to the sixth inning? Is
that Grian? We look at this, Yeah, sixth inning, top
of the sixth Dodgers won Yankees nothing zero, So we're
keep an eye on that. Angel. Any update on Highway five,
(18:41):
Interstate five, Freeway five, Well.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
The right lane on the south five at Templan is
definitely open, and I'm just waiting to hear get a
confirmation that it's only the right lane and that you're
still waiting for the remaining lanes to reopen.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Five southbound near Lake Casteake.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Yes, at Templan Highway, that's where they had always stopped
and that's where the right lane, at least the right
lane is open now, So go.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Big, big backup though three mile delay.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Excellent, Okay, We will keep people update on that, thank
you very much. The USC game is about to begin.
That will start in about an hour and twenty minutes.
The Lakers will play tonight. So you got those three
events going on in downtown Los Angeles. And there's also
an event at Disney Hall at the Disney Concert Hall tonight,
so good luck trying to get there. And then we've
(19:35):
got two concerts going on, one and into a dome
and then one at the Kia Form.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Man, I do the Disney Concert Hall thing tonight.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
You know, that's probably the most difficult thing to get
to though.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, it's a tribute to John Williams.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh it is. Oh wow, I bet my buddy's gonna go.
He love John Williams. Oh, that's gonna be great. Yeah, man,
is that going to continue? Is it just one night only?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I think I saw yesterday when I was looking at
it was maybe a couple thing, a couple of night thing.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Man.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I don't understand why some of these big venues don't
shoot information to us all the time. Yeah, you know,
and we could promote stuff like this just as Friday,
October twenty fifth. Ah, I'd love to have gone to.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
That eight o'clock hour and a half from now.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Okay, well I could get there eight o'clock.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Oh wait, no, it's tomorrow. Night as well. And Sunday,
oh it is. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Oh I'm going Sunday for sure. I might go tomorrow
screw it.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah, I'm gonna blow Marongo off Sundays at two pm.
Sunday at two Yeah, oh that's great. I'll make it back. Yeah,
imagine tickets for that. But I might just blow Marongo
off and go tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
The hell.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yeah that looks really awesome.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, that's what I do, all right, But uh no,
what I gotta go. Okay, I gotta go to morrow.
I'll be talking to yeah right right away. I'll slide
in there. But that's gonna be an unbelievable weekend. A
lot of people listening right now to KFI. You're gonna
remember this weekend for quite a long time because there's
a lot of action going on in Los Angeles. I mean,
(21:01):
we are the focus of the nation right now. When
it comes to baseball, the Lakers are playing that's a
big deal USC Rutgers and so the people went to
Rutgers who live out here, They're going to go to
that game. Then you have a big, huge high school
football game at SOFI Stadium that's going to be drawing.
Twenty twenty five, maybe thirty thousand people out there, a
(21:23):
concert into It, a concert at Disney, concert at Kia Form,
all happening tonight. So whoever is in charge of scheduling,
somebody goofed, somebody goofed, and all these events happening in
the same Do you think in.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Any way that they do coordinate all these huge venues
or do they just never not give a crap about
each other?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Well, the one that is least likely to be able
to coordinate is the World Series. Sure, you know, but
look Rutgers and USC that was out a year ago
or you know, eight months ago that that game was
going to go on, and so that could have been rescheduled.
The Lakers could not, I don't think, but they probably
(22:06):
could have rescheduled one of those concerts at either the
into a Dome, or maybe they couldn't. I don't know.
I don't know what goes on and stuff like that,
but I think that that you know, this is October,
and October is the only month where all four professional
sports are happening at the same time. You know, you
got football, basketball, baseball, and hockey all for them are
(22:27):
going on in October and a little bit of November
maybe if the World Series this year bleedes until November,
that's pretty rare. But October is the busiest sports month
and the busiest month on the calendar for Los Angeles
and most big cities that have all four major events,
and for New York and Los Angeles. I can't imagine
(22:48):
how packed the bars are right now in New York City,
you know, watching the Yankee game. All those Manhattan bars
or Queens or you know wherever, any of the burroughs,
they're packed.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
And yeah, yeah, Game six would be November one. Game
seven would be November two.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
So Friday and Saturday of next week, and then right
after that we've got the election.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Yeah right, three days after that.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
But a wild time to be in Los Angeles. I
can't wait for that to Yeah, no kidding, I'm with
you on that one, all right. I So we got
a lot going on, Angels. Keep an eye on the
five south bound. We'll tell you when that opens up.
And then we've got some other news going on. But
mostly the big events are are the sporting events here
in Los Angeles. Right now, it's the Dodgers one, Yankees nothing.
(23:36):
With one out in the sixth inning, we are oh
two to one. Sorry, two to one Yankees?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Wait what?
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, yeah, two to one Yankees.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Oh that's horrible. That was a huge ass home run.
Is that Stanton that hit? It isn't. I can't see
his number on. That isn't. Okay, Yes, Carlos Stanton hit
a home run two manby that silence the crowd out there.
Two to one Yankees in the sixth inning. That sucks.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I am six forty. It is the Conway Show. I
just sent Bellio a video of what it looks like
here at the KFI studio, So if you want to
check that out, I'm sure she'll be putting it up
on Twitter or Insta as the kids say Insta, they're
too lazy to say Instagram, Insta, Insta. Yeah, it's all
(24:35):
about the gram, right.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Well, the Insta of the ig, not the gram.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
That's not about Oh does that mean cocaine? All about
the gram? I don't know. Frozer joins us because he's
done for the day, but you got an hour and
fifteen minute drive.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, I just looked up my ways. It does not
look pretty. It looks like the longest drive in a
good while. I really thought I was gonna get lucky
because it is going the other way right nobody's coming.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Nobody's going that way right now? Well, I guess everybody is.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Everybody leave pacady and im mediate.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Oh man, all right, So the Dodgers are losing to
the Yankees two to one in the top of the
sixth inning or is that seventh sixth top of the
sixth inning with two outs, two on, and the Yankees
have a two to one lead. This this is why
I do.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Love how you have every TV on the game.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I know, I shut the news off at six thirty
they go to those National news, so I shut that
all off, and it's all Dodgers one, two, three, four, five,
sixty seven TVs on. And you know, these four TVs
are all synced up, but these are in like a
two second delay, so if you see a good play
on these four, you can look at it again on
those other two. But I just sent Bellio A into
(25:47):
the other room a video, so we'll put that up
and you can see it and what it looks like
here in the KFI studio when all the TVs are
on the Dodgers. The five southbound is still jammed, so
if you're coming out of cast Steak, that's going to
be a huge problem. But we also have some other
news here on Amazon. Amazon brings gased gas benefits to
(26:10):
Prime members. How about this.
Speaker 11 (26:12):
Amazon is pumping up its Prime membership with the new perk.
The company says members can save ten cents a gallon
at nearly seven thousand gas stations across the country.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Amazon says the.
Speaker 11 (26:21):
Perk will be available at all AMPM locations. Customers looking
to save a little at the pump must link their
Prime membership to their Arnifi account.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
The company says.
Speaker 11 (26:31):
The new perk is part of the goal of adding
more value to its Prime service.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Okay, all right, so if you're with if you go
to you have to go to AMPM. Is that what
they said? Is that what they said on me? Say
the company was AMPM Companies.
Speaker 11 (26:42):
Says members can save ten cents a gallon at nearly
seven thousand gas stations across the country. Amazon says the
perk will be available at all AMPM locations.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Okay, got to go to ampm's two but that's not
in southern California.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
All right. But isn't ampm Arco. Isn't that the same?
Isn't it? Yeah, it's the same deal. So you can
save ten cents a gallon, but you got to hook
it up. It's accomplished. That's what I was like, how
does the process works.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I don't want to have to go the hassle.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I don't want to hook things up. Here's what you
got to do to get.
Speaker 11 (27:11):
It, though, Customers looking to save a little at the
pump must link their Prime membership to their Ernifi account.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
The company says the new perk.
Speaker 11 (27:18):
Is part of the goal of adding more value to
its Prime service.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
How's your how's your Ernifi account doing? What the hell
is that? It's for kids?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Is that through RCOAPM or is that through Amazon?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I don't know, but you kids not to do that, Bella,
do you know how to do that? You're not to
hook up your your Ernifi? Are you with the ernifiers?
You're an ernifier? Okay, you can do that. I can't
do it. Here's something crows the wave of the future.
It happened in Poland, it's going to spread through Europe
and it's going to come to America. A radio station
(27:48):
replaced journalists with you guessed it AI.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
And so it begins. A Polish radio station is apparently
the first in the world to elbow aside human he
and instead use AI generated presenter says it's fake radio personalities. Essentially,
chatbots are intended to attract younger listeners, and while that
might be part of the station's calculus, the move also
is clearly aimed at using this technology to cut costs,
(28:16):
and things are already getting a little strange. This week,
the station feature what it said was an interview conducted
by one of its AI presenters with a Polish poet
who died in twenty twelve and whose own voice was
mimicked by AI. In other words, a chatbot interviewing a
chatbot being presented as a conversation between two human beings.
(28:39):
The weirdness of that aside, it seems a safe bet
that radio stations around the world are closely watching this
experiment and wondering how listeners will react and whether they
too will be able to get away with it.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
How soon before were this is a wrap?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Would why would any younger generation give a crap whether
or not the person reading the news is I.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Promise no one, no one, no.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
One I mean that's their excuse. They're saying, Oh, they're
trying to appeal to a younger general. Why would a
younger generation give a crap who's reading.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
The morning I don't know, but I have a feeling
that in the future we will have journalists who are AI.
I feel journalists or announcers. I think both. I think
we're gonna, you know, they're gonna steal a little from
the La Times, a little from the Daily News, aggregate
right and announce their their own story. But it was fun.
(29:33):
We had a nice one hundred and forty and fifty
year run. You know, we're so lucky. We're at the
tail end.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Guys.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Should I end it all right now? Be honest?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah, no, Belly, your your generation. You got to fight this.
You got to fight ai fai fight it stand for fight.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I think we've been lucky, so we've been good. About
the self checkout thing. I think those are kind of
going by the way side.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, I think you're right. And the biggest uh I
guess hurdle or drawbacked using those self checkouts for you know,
guys like you and I. You can't pay for alcohol there.
You can't with your self checkout you know, you got
to take all the alcohol out of your cart, and
you know, go see some lady and she's got to
(30:16):
do it for you. I don't like that at all.
I don't like it all Right, Dodgers are in the
in the middle of the game, sixth inning. They've gotten
out of the top of the sixth, So the Dodgers
have six, seven, eight, nine, four more bats. They're down
one run. Not impossible to come back and win this game,
even though the Yankees have a pretty good bullpen. And
then you've got Rutgers USC that's about to begin in
(30:39):
about an hour and ten minutes. The Lakers are going
to get underway. Then you've got the big football game
in at Sofi Stadium that's going to happen. I believe
it goes on in the next hour or so. And
then there's a concert at the end too a dome
another concert at the Kia form Rebudy is booked tonight,
(31:02):
but we will see you all tomorrow. If you've got tickets,
check your email, see if you're on the list. See
if you're going to Marano tomorrow for the big party.
I'll be out there. Crozier is going a bunch of
people from from KFI. I'll be wandering out there. I
just hope there's no traffic tomorrow. You know what time
you're leaving.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Now, I'm probably getting out right midday or so.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, I'm gonna leave around twelve thirty. Yeah, yeah, try
to get down there. And I won't be I won't
see you at the shops. I'll be at the casino.
But I do understand you're going to the shop. What
about the wife and kid? They might go, they might go.
It's I'm going with my sister and my daughter, and
so my daughter who's nineteen, she can legally gamble there,
(31:42):
and I'll have a photo of me and my daughter
legally gambling.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
You're gonna help her, You're gonna teach her.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I don't think I could help her. I think anything
I touched hers to a craft. So she should bet
on exactly the opposite what I do and play. Don't
play a slot machine that I'm playing. That would help her, Yes,
very very much. So, all right, Moe Kelly is up next.
