Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app Nobody on and show.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey, Otani is at bat.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I don't know how it can be any more tense
and or exciting than this scenario. And if he hits
a home run, you will hear the yelling from Dodgers
Stadium right now.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
It's zero to two. Not good.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
But the Dodgers at bat in the bottom of the tenth,
it's tied one to one. I call that a pitching duel.
I don't know if you guys do the same. And
Otani is at bat and he just looked at strike three.
So tough series for Otani. I mean, I know, he
(00:52):
gave us a win pitching, so that's great. And he's
had one hit, which is a home run. That's great.
But other than that, it's cooled off little. But thank
god that that team is loaded. When you have your
star player that is cooled off, the other players are
gonna pick it up, hopefully. All Right, So we're watching
(01:15):
this the Dodgers in the bottom of the tent and
who is that Mookie?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, Mookie bets up zero and two. All right, it's tenth.
We're gonna try to. We'll keep an eye on it.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
We've got Dean Sharp coming up at six point twenty.
He'll he'll help us get a little distracted from what's
going on at shovels Ravine. This game could end with
one pitch, and so far there's one out. Mookie bets
at bat with a one in two count. All right,
(01:52):
we talked about about trash increase. The amount of money
you pay for your trash that's going up.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
The amount of money you pay for.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Parking is going up, the amount of money you pay
for everything. You know, your parking meters are going up.
Everything seems to be going up. Well, now let's look
at LEDWP. Are your bills going up with your water
and power as well?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Let's find out.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I spoke with one homeowner in Woodland Hills and he
tells me that his bill went up by several hundred dollars.
The LEDWP it tells me that their bills are very
much weather driven, and they say to compare your bill
now to the same period last year numbers on his
utility bill. Bruce Scott says he did not expect to
see kind of shocking Scott Lives.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
In Woodland Hills.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
He showed us his bi monthly LADWP bill total from
June eleventh to August twelfth. He says his bill went
up nearly six hundred dollars from the previous two months.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Wait, it's six hundred dollars and the previous two months
were warmer.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Totally more than fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
It seems to have gone up fifty to sixty percent,
and I can't understand why because the usage wasn't that
much more.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Scott says he does have solar panels that cover part
of his bill, but something else that stood out were
the LA sanitation charges, which includes sewer and solid waste.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Here we go the sanitation charges. That's what is going
to again everybody.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Totally more than three hundred dollars. I've never seen that
number for sewer charges. And he's not alone.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Some people also living in the same area reporting on
a neighborhood app that their LEDWP bills have also gone up.
One neighbor posting that it went up from eight hundred
to eleven hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Another's that's a lot, from eight hundred to eleven eight
hundred bucks. To eleven hundred dollars is insane. A lot
of people can't afford that.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
One neighbor posting that it went up from eight hundred
to eleven hundred dollars, another saying their bill was an
unexpected twenty five hundred dollars. Fred Mussti is the co
owner of this ice cream shop in Wooden Hills.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
How do you stay in business?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You know, in Los Angeles it's got to be next
to impossible with people ripping you off, people breaking into
your business, you know, on a monthly year, you know,
annual basis. You got to have employees. You know, they
they're squirrely. They quit on a dimes, you know, and
with no notice. You got insurance, you got to have advertising,
(04:26):
You got to pay the mortgage, you got to pay
for your kids' school. I mean, there's so many bills
you have to pay to have a successful restaurant. I
don't know how you do it, man. I think it's
a miracle that people have successful restaurants.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
He is also feeling the pinch. It's been almost a
thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
This month, LEDWP chief financial officer and Sentilly telling NBC
four there haven't been base rate increases, but there was
an increased rate of two and a half cents on
the power side that went into effect on July first
to help recover higher energy costs.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Our bills are very much driven by weather.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
So if you look.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
At the last two months, it's been hotter.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Our median customer.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Uses about three hundred KILOWA hours a month, so that
would be about seven dollars and fifty cents.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Seems like more. I don't think people are complaining about
seven dollars and fifty cents. I think they're complaining about
the twenty five hundred dollars bills.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
She says some of the biggest electricity users are refrigerators,
the AC and the pool pumps.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
She also say if you hear that, that's a tip
for everybody, all right, listen to what really chews up
your power and is costing you a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Here, she says, some of the biggest electricity users are refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Okay, refrigerator, Maybe you have an extra one outside in
the garage, maybe at a barbecue.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Maybe want to unplug that. Maybe you can save some
money there.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
It's the AC and the pool pumps.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
The AC and the pool pumps. We don't have a pool,
so we don't have any pool pump, but the AC
is constantly rolling in my house constantly.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
She also says to make sure you're using LED light
bulbs to help save as well. Back here at Scott's home,
he believed his bill is still too high, even with
the solar panels that he has.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Maybe it saddens me. I can afford it, but I
don't think it's right.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
And a statement today from La Sanitation says that a
sewer service charge increase did go into effect in the
fall of last year. LADWP tells me there are a
number of programs to help you with your bill, including
payment arrangements.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
If you have any questions.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
About your bill, make sure to call the department's customer
service line. We're live in Wanaka kmill around Baldy NBC
for news.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
All right, I'm just checking how many DWP employees make
more more than one hundred thousand dollars a year. Let's
see what that number is, all right, it's generating an
answer here as of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Maybe we should do a whip around here.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Let's do a quick whip around, all right, just like Krozier,
Angel Tony and belly.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Well, I guess it's everybody.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
How many employees do you think earn north of one
hundred thousand dollars at LADWP Krozer, Let's start with you, Bob.
How many employees earn north of one hundred grand? Oh,
two hundred, two.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Hundred okay, fellio, oh seventy five?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Twenty five? Angel, Well, how many employees do they have?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Oh no, no, you're canceled, cancel cancel, No, you're you're
on a hiatus.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
All right, Well how many?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Okay, let's go to O five two oh five? Wow, okay,
very specific? Do you work there? I wish I did?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Okay, Tony, how many? How many DWP employees are earning
over one hundred thousand dollars ninety nine? Ninety nine? Okay,
the winner is Angel Martinez.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
With two O five.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
You got really close? Six thousand, one hundred and seventy three.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Is that what the website saying? That's what AI says. No,
what Angel looked at? Oh no, my number went up
by five? If she did, was that what I did?
Speaker 6 (08:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
And if Angel did look it up, she's got a
really bad computer because she was off by about sixty
six brand. There is six thousand, one hundred and seventy
three employees at the LADWP who earned one hundred thousand
dollars a year or more six thousand, one hundred and
seventy three.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That is wild.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
We were all guessing in the hundreds or the you know,
the high teens. But it's six thousand, one hundred and
seventy three, and that that was as of twenty twenty two.
It might be more than that now, I'm sure it is.
So that's where your money is going to LADWP employees, So.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Enjoy them all right.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
When we come back, Dean Sharp is gonna be with
us the house whisper. He is fantastic, and we're going
to talk to him about fall gardening and get your
you know, he'll tell us what plans and what to
do in the fall to make make sure that when
spring comes around your garden.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Pops.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
We're live on k if I watching the Dodgers still
tied one to one in the top of the eleventh inning.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
The Dodgers are tied one to one. Phillys have a
man on second with two outs, and I think it's
Bayard's up. Now it's a one in two count, one ball,
two strikes, and we'll see, we'll see. All right, Let's
talk to a very popular guy who has a weekend
show here from six to eight am on Saturday and
(09:52):
then nine am to noon on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And his name is Dean Sharp. Dean, Hi you, Bob.
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I'm good. Hey, before we start, can I make a
shameless plug for an organization that I really love?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
As a matter of fact, I'm watching the game, So
can you make this a seven minute plug?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
If you want, sure, I'll just stretch it out. You
just yell if somebody gets a hit, that's all. Okay.
Here's the thing. I just want everybody to know. Somebody
very near and dear to all of our hearts, Robin Bertolucci.
She is a board member of the Canao Open Space
Foundation and this Saturday, day after tomorrow, at the Canejo
(10:31):
Creek North Park in Thousand Oaks, they are having their
fourth annual Native Plant Palooza and Ecofest. It's basically a
whole get together talking about the power of native plants
creating wildlife habitat, saving water, fire, safing your home. We
got a bunch of experts coming out. I'm going to
be out there for the whole time. Am seeing a
(10:53):
discussion with some of the experts or stuff for the kids.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
There's food trucks.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
We're gonna have the California Wildlife Center out there, wildbirds
on limited, the Theodore Pain Foundation. So anyway, I just
want to know, if you've got time Saturday morning, actually midday,
from ten to two, get out to Canao Creek North
Park on Thousand Oaks and get to the Native plant Poalooza.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I'm out excellent, all right. You know, I'm glad you
know about plants. I consider myself to have a green thumb.
But here's the problem I run into. Oh Dodgers just
got out of this. Oh no, it was a foul ball.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Here's the problem that I run into when I buy plants,
you know, from wherever it is, and you know, I
buy them all around. I can't tell by looking at
a plant whether that plant was grown in the valley
as from a seedling, or if it was grown up
in Thousand Oaks not Thousand Oaks, Ventura and Oxnard, because
(11:50):
when I buy plants, they grew up and born and
raised in Oxnard and Ventura, and I bring him into
the valley, the heat shocks the hell out of them
and they die shortly after dry plant.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Well, that happens sometimes, that just happens just because of
heat shock period, regardless of where the plant comes from.
But you're right, if you're buying one from down the
street at your local nursery, right it's been sitting there
in the same temperature, and so that's that's an argument
for that's an argument for your local nursery and one
right down your street and your small business in your town. However,
(12:23):
most of the time when that happens, my friend, it's
because you're actually buying an out of area plant in
the terms of the you know, specific environment, the micro environment,
or you know that you're putting it in your yard.
People go to nurseries, they see gorgeous plants sitting there
in partial shade and getting a lot of water from
(12:44):
the nursery, and they want to go home and put
it out right out by the sidewalk where there's no
trees and where it's just going to be blasted by
sun all day. Long. And that's when you know, people
ignore the is this a full sun plant? Is it
a partial shade plant? And a lot of people don't realize.
I mean, every home, every rehome has all sorts of
little micro environments, okay, within the the you know, the
(13:08):
confines of your property line. Sure, and you've got to
really think about that if you got a party, you
know you've got a house with the north side of
your house. The north side of your house, right up
against your house, never sees the sun directly. It's always
in the shape right because in the northern hemisphere the
sun is always in the southern sky okay. And then
on the south side of the house, just opposite those
plants right up next to the house see the sun
(13:29):
all day long.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
So you guys really going to think it through.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
You know what, one thing I've noticed over the last
five years, I can't believe the advancement that has been
made in leaf blowers.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
They're incredible. Now you know the battery powered leaf blowers,
I meant repowered leaf blowers. You don't have to have
the electrical cord, you don't have to start up the
line lower engine, and they were ten times more powerful
than the one I had that was you know, plugged
into the wall, or the one that I had that
was battery operated. They've really made advancements. You know what
(14:02):
all tim All Gardening power Equipment has. You know, the
best lawnmower on the market right now is a full
electric lawnmower.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
That's what I have. I just bought one two weeks ago.
And it's a I can't remember. I think it's skull
or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
But I used to have to.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I had to plug in lawnmower for four years and
constantly having to move the cord or running it over.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
And yeah, it's such a hassle. That's what I always do.
I get distracted, run over the cord. Yeah, and I
and I like an idiot.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I use the Christmas cords to cut the lawn and
they're all green, so it fits right into the greenery
of the lawn and bang, I cut it and it's over.
But I'll do you one worse. I'll do you one
worse if I run over the cord and cut it.
I get really frustrated.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
If I run over the cord and I don't cut it,
I'm like, what the hell's wrong with this?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Lawnmower.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Then it can't cut a power cord, that's right, but
I still so I bought it a brand new lawnmower.
I got a deal on it was a five dollar
but they want to get rid of in these box stores.
So I got it for two hundred bucks. And man,
I can't tell you how beautiful it is. It's quiet.
I do the whole there's a big bag on it,
so I do the whole lawn in one pass. You know,
I don't have to dump the bag three or four times.
(15:14):
And it is I mean, it's self propelled, and it's sharp,
and it's just terrific.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It really is great, all right.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
All right, So because we're talking fall gardening, I've got
something to tell you about that. You're collecting your grass
clippings in your lawnmower bag and your leaf blower whether
it comes with an actual vacuum you know, whether it
can be reversed and comes with a vacuum function, and
whether it has a bag too, because if it does,
(15:42):
there's something really really important to do with that leaf
blower other than just you know, blow stuff into a corner,
rake it up and throw.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
It in the trash can. Mulch it, or use it
for fertilized mulchit.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
You know that when you use a leaf blower that
has a bag for vacuuming. My recommendation whenever possible. You
don't have to do it every week. Okay, you know,
so you know, bag it up, but whenever possible, at
least once a month, use the vacuum function because as
those all that leaves are sucked in, it passes through
the impeller of the motor and it mulches them automatically.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
And then you dump those bags into your gardening beds. Oh,
that's been a good idea.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah, yeah, Or put them in the dreen trash can
and let the city take them, how about or take
him away?
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Yeah, or put him in your neighbor's shard. That's right, yeah,
throw it over the fence. It's like George Carlin said,
he used to feed his dogs rubber bands, and then
when they went number two, he just pulled one of
the rubber bands and just right over the fence.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
That's his problem now, convenient handle. All right? Can you
stay with us? Sure? All right?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Dean Sharp is with us every Saturday six to eight am.
Every Sunday nine Am until noon. The Dodgers are in
the bottom of the eleventh inning. There's one out, no
man on, and we will tell you when this series ends.
Hopefully we're still on the air when that happens.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway too. You're on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
They're ninety feet away from taking the series. Hit one hit,
just one tiny hit. Dean Sharpest, wha us? Are you
a big Dodger fan?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Big, huge, awesome, awesome? And so you're probably watching the
game trying to you know, I got this other thing
I'm doing.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Mean too.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Hey, let me ask you a question. I don't know
the answer to this, and I think it's a great question.
Somebody just emailed me this. Why do leaves change colors?
Is that something you know? Or am I getting too
far outside your expertise?
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Well, you know, there's a lot of science to it,
but leaves change colors essentially because when autumn hits, a
tree withdraws its chlorophyll from the leaf. In fact, if
you take a look at a leaf that's changing color
and you look at the veins, you're going to see
that the veins are green because the chlorophyll is being
sucked back in to the tree. Okay, so it's it's
(18:02):
getting ready to shut off that little production center. So
the first thing it does is pulls the chlorophyll out
of the leaf. And when the green is gone from
the leaf, what shows through is something that's actually there
all the time, which are anthocyanins and and this carotenoids,
which are basically like a sunblock the tree uses all
(18:23):
the time. But now when the green is gone, we
actually see them. And then eventually, when all of the
chlorophyll has been pulled back into the actual branch, it
will self seal the nub that's collected that is connecting
the leaf, and the leaf will fall off. And you
do know, you do know your trees, Boom.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I know that you've had some experience with Moon Valley
and I have as well. Man the trees that the
moon juice that I get from there, the fertilizer it
you put it on trees and they explode. I've never
used any fertilizer in my life that that had so
much success with growing trees exponentially. I mean they literally
(19:03):
you can they grow overnight. I don't know what is it.
Believe me, everybody wants to know what's in that stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I'm not sure I want to know what's in it,
but I'll tell you it is like you know, it
makes it puts miracle grow to shame. It's c far
as like a bursting tree for like, yeah, it's really good.
Plus you know with Moon Valley you start with these
really healthy, beautiful trees.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So yeah, that helps you. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
And then another question I had for you. You know,
when leaves do fall at you know, there's always two
schools of thought. Do you rake them up and make
your yard look great, or do you leave them for
nutrients for the tree, or do we go back there,
you know, leaving a shredding, you got a mulchim, you
got a multium. You know, Because here's the thing. The tree,
(19:48):
if the tree, if it was up to the tree,
the tree would be very selfish. It would grow its
canopy all the way down to the ground and it
would just sit there and self mulch its own leaves
for its whole life. I mean, that's I mean, do
you think about it. Think about the wild oak trees
in our area right up on the hillsides. Those canopies
are touch almost touching the ground underneath them, right, that's
(20:08):
the way.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
They actually operate. But but it takes an awful long time.
Anybody who said just throw your leaves in the flower bed, Yeah,
and you see them four years later, they're still there.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
It takes a long time to break a leaf down.
That's why if you're gonna do it, and I think
it's a great idea, but mulch them. Mulch them up
and break them into small pieces and then they'll they'll
break down a lot faster.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
All right.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Then one more question about pruning is is this a
good time of year to do that?
Speaker 5 (20:36):
It's the perfect time of years, the best time of year.
Everybody gets all excited about pruning in the spring. Springtime
pruning is technically the worst time of the year to
do it because the tree is about to burst out
into growth and you're gonna put it in shock. So
it's kind of like, think about this. Think of your
tree like it's taking a trip to the dentist and
it's gonna have a dential procedure. You want to get
this done, you know, you want the tree to be
(20:57):
in a twilight sleep at the dentist when you're pulling
bunches off.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
And so as the tree is falling asleep in the autumn,
as it's going into its dormant mode, that's the perfect
time to cut branches, to do major pruning. And then
it has the whole winter to sleep on it and
when spring comes it's ready to rock and roll.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I love when I see the first leaves coming back
on on trees that have lost their leaves. I mean,
it's such a great time of year. You know when
that happens. What do you what do you recommend with grass?
You know, there's probably you know, five to six really
great you know grasses out there.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Is there something that can can be green all year round?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, you know you could go with uh.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
And and if you want to go with a native
kind of grass, you could go with the uh the
buff the Verde buffalo grass uh from UH from Riverside University.
You see Riverside verty buffalo grass. You could go with
bermuda grass, which a lot of people think, no, Bermuda's
gonna turn yellow. Well not if you keep watering it.
(22:07):
You know, it goes yellow during the summer. It wants
to go yellow during the summer. If you deprive it
of water, but Bermuda grass will go all the way
through the winter.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Dodgers when, oh my god, Dodgers went on an error
on a total half up, a hit back to home play,
a big a hit back to the pitcher's mound, and
he threw it over the catcher's head. Dodgers win an
unbelievable play. Dodgers When Dodgers when yes, yes, gosh, they're
(22:43):
going to the National League Championship Series.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
The stadium is going crazy.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Man, I did not want to go back to Philadelphia
next to man.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
No, it was a death sentence.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yes Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
When Dodgers When yes, yes, yes, Yes, that's great.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Oh man, I'm losing my voice. I've been yelling, you know,
for the last three games with these Dodgers, and I
feel bad for that picture. That is not a way
to end the series and the year for that guy.
A simple, a simple comebacker that he grabs in and
he bumbles it and the throws it over the catcher's head.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Oh and look like he missed home plate and then
the whoever scored there had to come back and touch.
Oh my god, look at this he throws it over
the catchers, and all you do is tag a touch
of plate. You have to tag the runner and threw
it over his head and that's the end of Philadelphia's season.
(23:45):
It comes to an end on an absolute one of
the easiest plays in the world. A comebacker, a dribbler
to the mound. He could have thrown into any base
and got anybody out. He should have gone to first
with it. He still could have gone to first after
you picked it up, went to home.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
He could.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
The play was the first base. Oh you know what
I mean. When you go in eleven innings, you know,
you know it's just going to be an area.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
You know it is.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
You know it's going to be some little thing. If
I were him, I would not go back to Philadelphia.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
No, No, they throw stuff at their own players during
a game where they're winning.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
I would.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I would move to Spain or France before I went
back to Philly. They are not going to welcome this
chap home Dodgers win, the celebration starts. All right, Dian
I'm sorry for the distraction, Buddy, I really appreciate it
coming on perfect you were the king man. Thanks about
thanks all right, Dean Sharp, every Saturday six am to
eight am, and then every Sunday nine am to noon,
(24:44):
Dodgers win. Dodgers win, they go on to the National
League Championship Series. Dodgers when, yes, yes, all right, that's great, man.
I don't get that excited about anything else really in life.
I got signed up with these stupid teams and these
(25:04):
stupid scores, and I'm every single year. You know, we'll
get him next year a lot. But the Dodgers many,
they very rarely let me down.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
This is great.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Dodgers win. Nobody's leaving the stadium. Everybody is still packed
in that stadium. I don't see any cars in the
parking lot pulling out and splitting and trying to.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Get home early.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Everybody's staying and enjoying this party and yelling and screaming.
This is great. What a game ends in the bottom
of the eleventh inning. Dodgers win two to one on
an error. How crazy is that to end and end
your season on a comebacker That should be the easiest play,
(25:44):
one of the easiest plays in baseball, A dribbler comebacker
and the bases load, you can go to any base
and they screwed up.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yeah, it's crazy. When it was happening, You're like, we're
going to go to one another.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
WHOA, that's exactly right, like a comebacker. I mean, I
can handle that. And then he picks it up. He
bobbled it, but he still had time to go to
first base with it.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I think him going to home was even if he
hadn't overthrown him, he was already there.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah. And and what what a game? Atention? I can't
take it.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
What game? What a game?
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Man?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Oh man? It is.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
It is so intense in this station because we have
the Dodgers here on I'm sitting, I'm facing south. We're
in Burbank, right off of Olive. I'm facing south. So
to my east is the Dodger main station. That's where
(26:48):
they do all the shows, the Petros, Money, Rogan and Rodney,
all those shows are done to my left or the
east studio. And on the west is the station that's
dedicated so only to the Dodgers. All the Dodger broadcasts
are run through that station. So we're we're bookended by
two Dodger stations. The one that's so the studio that
(27:11):
is solely for the Dodgers and nothing else, and the
the other one that's with the Dodgers but also runs
the week weekday and weekend programming. And so all the
guys who work in broadcasting for the Dodgers, you know,
Vassa and Kate's and Colin and Kevin, all those guys,
they all Ronnie as well. They all work here and
(27:33):
I see him every single day. And they're all huge,
huge Dodger fans, and and they get excited and we
scream and yell and go, you know, up and down
with these Dodgers. But to be here, live right next
to the Dodger station when they win at home is unbelievable.
(27:55):
That happened last last year with the Yankees. We were
here when the Yankees beat the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I'm sorry. The Dodgers beat the Yankees and had that fifth.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Inning where they had the five undeerned runs a Yankee
stadium and went on to win the series on I
think it was October thirtieth, and it was a party here.
It was unbelievable. But I do feel bad for the
Phillies pitcher. He's never going to let that down, especially
in Philadelphia to end the season like that, they were
(28:29):
favored the Phillies and the Dodgers were favored to win
the World Series. So if they beat the Dodgers, if
they'd won tonight and then they won in Philadelphia on Saturday,
they were the odds on favorite to win the World Series.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
And now they're going.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Home, and that's a long, long flight home, especially for
the pitcher that booted that ball. It was a simple
dribbler comeback if you watch it tonight on highlights, anybody
playing baseball, I make that play nine out of ten times.
(29:05):
And I don't play baseball, but nine out of ten
times I can pick that ball up and throw it
to first or throw it home without a mistake. But
I think what happened was the pitcher looked up to
see where the runner was and he bobbled the ball,
and then when he picked it up, he was too
late to come home unless it was a perfect throw.
But he should have gone to first. The runner was
(29:26):
only halfway down the first baseline. He could have nailed
the runner at first and this game would have continued.
But man, oh man, what a game, What an unbelievable game.
But you got to watch the highlights tonight, you know
on Channel two, four, five, seven, nine, eleven. I'm sure
it will be the lead story on most of the
(29:47):
news broadcast tonight. You got fifty fifty two, maybe fifty three.
It didn't look like he was sold out, but his clothes.
Fifty three thousand people at Dodger Stadium, and a lot
of them are still there, still there, party, yelling, screaming, hugging, clapping,
you know, singing there A lot of them are still
in that stadium, that parking lot. Let's see at seven o'clock.
(30:11):
I'll bet you that parking lot is not empty until
eleven o'clock with all the people that are hanging out
and just celebrating the win. So the Dodgers win, they'll
go on to play whoever wins the Brewers Cubs series,
So it'll either be the Chicago Cubs or the Milwaukee Brewers,
(30:32):
and whoever comes out of that is going to play
the Dodgers for the National League Championship Series. And I
haven't figured out if that's going to be home or away,
but I don't really care. The Dodgers do well on
the road as well as they do or even better
than playing at home. But the Dodgers have only lost
(30:55):
one game in the postseason. They are five and one
in the postseason, even with really cold bats from some
of their marquee star players. Shoe a Otani I think
was one for eighteen or one for nineteen in the series.
And now he's gonna have a week to rest. I'd
(31:15):
have to see when that series. I'll see when that
series starts. But he's got have a week to rest,
and he's gonna be probably it might even be the
opening pitcher. Let me see the National League Championship Series.
Let's see when it starts. Here, National League champion shiies
start date. Let's see when that sucker starts. It'll be
(31:39):
October thirteenth. How about that bellio October thirteenth. It will
be the National League Championship Series. That will be either
the Dodgers and the Cubs or the Dodgers and the Brewers.
But either way, that game starts on my birthday.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
What a gift.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
What a gift. So a lot of TBD. Nobody knows
what time it's going to be, and I not even
sure they know where it's going to be. Maybe it'll
be in I don't know who has a home field
advantage there. I'd have to look that up.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
But what a night. Dodgers win.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Dodgers win and they go on to the National League
Championship Series. Oh, it's the best, the best feeling in
the world when these Dodgers win. All Right, it's Conway
