so many things that you know. I'm driving up here.
You know it took you know, three days to get
up here from Arche.

it is and this is what I want to tell you,
and I wanted to what we call an SFA save
it for the air.

Still perfect, right, perfect, As I'm thinking to.

Myself, going, you know, when I was in radio, I
had all these friends because I was a radio dude.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
You know what I'm saying. And you were let's go,
let's do the history. Though you were a Kala Sex
and when Larry and Eric the regular guys started. That's correct. Okay,
what year was that? Don't I was at Kla Sex
when it was classic rock.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Oh, you were with Bob Cober and I used to
produce Bob Colbert, and I saw Jim Ladd and Uncle
Joe Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
But this is the whole thing. What year was that?
What'd you see you start at Kala Sex. I mean
it had to be eighty nine, yeah, no, no, no.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
I graduated high school in ninety one, so I'd be
like ninety seven. Okay, okay, but this is what's crazy
about it. So I come rolling up here and I
see that when your street team guys are downstairs, right,
and I'm like, hey man, He's like, are you here to.

Speaker 2 (01:42):

very teeny bit of an ego that.

just turned fifty three last month.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Okay, thank you, very very very much. And I was
telling a story to one of my homies about the
first time I met you, okay, and and and and
your success is absolutely crazy, because in a good way.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
All right, come on, let me say it please. Okay,
let's get into real estate, right right, Okay, all right,
all right.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
But my point is is that when I met you,
you were thirty six years old, right, okay, And this
is what I want to tell you. When I left radio,
I lost a ton of friends. Okay, Well, of course
I couldn't get them tickets to anything.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
I wasn't you know what I'm saying. I wasn't that guy. Okay.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
So I lost a ton of friends. But two people,
which you both still till let's day, have something very uncommon.
I'm going to tell you what that is that kept
in touch with me, and it means so much to me.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Is you and Jason in Silaca. Oh that's cool, okay.
And Laco' is a stand up guy, a stand up guy.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
But you guys both do the same thing to me
when we call each other on this is it? And
I noticed it the other day. So I'm talking to Jason, Okay,
this is a month or whatever ago, and you do
this to me, and I'm like getting into there's a
big lawsuit that happened with the anti R thing. It's
really crazy, and I'm trying to flosify with Jason about him, like, hey, Jaberg,
let me tell you about this, and.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Nobody says, will Danny right?

Speaker 4 (03:29):
And as soon as he says a will Danny, that's
when he goes and you do the same thing.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
You do the exact same thing. It's right, buddy. I've
known you the first time, the first day I ever
started in radio. Malibudein was the first guy I saw.
He was at the door waiting for me. I was
gonna be a guest on on the Marian Ras Yeah,
And he was at the door waiting for me. He's like, hey, buddy,
he goes, I don't know who you are, but you're

(03:56):
on with Larry and Eric of the irregular guys. I'm like, oh, yeah,
that's great, and and and I and we've been friends since.
But Puddy, I you know when you were with the
Street Squad, I you supplied so much entertainment for us
because you do things that normal people don't do. I

(04:16):
still do things that normal people don't do, right, Like
here's a here's a great story, Malibu Dan. They so
can I call you that? Of course? Please? Malbu Dan
had a least truck. He leased the truck from Toyota. Okay.
He had a Tacoma that's right, and a beautiful truck.
I think it was a blue, green and green and
it was a beautiful truck. And Malibu Dan, I can't

(04:39):
stand a conventional car, you know, it's everything has to
be a clown car with this guy. So he goes
out and lifts the car. It was beautifully done. It's
a least car, and he lifted it, okay, so as
you I think he was driving through Malibu Canyon when
and it fell apart. That's right.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
I was right because you know it was last ver
This road, right, and those who don't know it's Los
Virgins is very very very curvy.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Very yeah, very it's very trying for people to lift
their own cars.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
That's right, okay, And I'll never do that again. Hence
I didn't do it this time.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
The car fell apart, fell apart, the axle broke.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
That's exactly right. The front axle tilt, it broke, that's.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Right, right. And then when the lease was up, I
brought it in to Toyota. That's right.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Because my lease is up, I give them the keys,
not thinking anything about it, right, Like here you guys go,
and it was like, hey, man, Taillites, you and your
truck get the hell you know out of here.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's a nobueno on your coma. So you didn't know
you can't leave, you can't lift a least car.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Well, you know what, I don't really know what I
was thinking, excluding the fact that I didn't want to
drive it stock okay, And my thought with life in general.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
As you probably know, I'll worry about things later. That's always.
That's one of the reasons I love you, buddy. Okay,
I need a one word answer from you for the
next two questions. Okay, okay. Are you currently driving a
least car or truck? I am yes? Oh, okay, yes
is the answer.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Have you lifted that Yes, I've lifted it three and
a half inches.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
I have thirty seven's on it. I redid my gears
and in a couple of weeks I hope to get
a new stereo system. But the player. Do you remember
when Doug Steckler said there are two types of people
in this world? He said there are slow learners and
non learners. I guess I follow in the non learner.
Do you remember when Steckler about his BMW? Thank you, sir.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Do you remember Steckler about his BMW? I got stuck
in it, that's right. So these are like the like
the stories we were talking about.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Steckler went through a fat stage in his life and
he got he got into his BMW. What was that
sort an M three M three It was a little
ten two seater and he got into it in the
parking lot after you know, eating a buffet of wild meal,
and he got stuck. He couldn't get out of it.
He's never late, No, he's never late. And you could

(06:52):
hear he called in from the garage's right, and he
goes and you can hear him like beeping and people
trying to help him out of the car. He goes,
He goes, hey, I'm a little late. I go, what's
going on? He goes, I'm I got a flat tire.
I go, well, we'll worry about it later. He goes, no,
I want to worry about it now. I go, Doug,
I think you're not telling me the truth. And he goes.
He goes, I'm stuck in the car. Try to vascily

(07:14):
in his belly up. Yeah right, we had vasilin on
his belly. We're going to call the fire department. It
was bad man. He would not he could not get out.
He was screaming, right, and he kept the car. He did.
That's that's the thing about well, but you know, but
then he realized that that's rock bottom. He started to
lose weight.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
And he got and he got thin, yes, right, I
mean he got really really thin because he.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Was too fat to and he was getting stuck in
his car. That's why he got thin.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
But let me tell you how radio has changed. I
haven't been in a radio station in many, many, many
many years. And thank you very much for the invite.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
And we'd have you on every day if you were.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Oh, I love you very much. I'll see you tomorrow.
The kitchen real fast, okay? Is that an on an
honor system?

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yes? Really?

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Things changed, all right, because let me explain this to
the audience.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
You go into this.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
This this kitchen, and it's quite large, okay, and you
could have everything from coffee to a Danish right okay,
and chips and you could do.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Whatever you want. Matter of fact, I could be in
there for hours and be filled full. And I'm like,
wait a minute, is this free? And I saw like
a kiosk, right, And I'm thinking about myself going when.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
I was like in radio every day, There's no way
that thing would fly.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
And I guarantee you the conversation.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Would have been like, hey, babooze, who's stealing the food
in the kitchen?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (08:29):
You know.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Let me tell you a quick story about the honor system.
When I was working at kalas X, a guy came
by with one of those honor boxes, you know, chips, gum, candy,
and he put it on the counter and he goes, hey,
I'm gonna leave you this here. And I said, I said, buddy,
I wouldn't do that. And he said, what do you mean.
I said, I said, you're gonna come back and you're
gonna have an empty jar. You know, you have a
jar with the money goes in like a folger's can.

(08:52):
I said, you're all the different things gonna be wiped
out and you're gonna have no money in your jar.
And he goes, no, no, it was a religious thing.
He goes, no, you know, we're a Christian group. We
we respect people. They're honest. So I said, I wouldn't
do that. He leaves it there. He comes back in
two weeks, all the chips are gone. There's three pennies
in his can chewed gum, and a piece of the

(09:13):
box was ripped off where a guy had to write
a phone number on it, and they did so. They
ate all his food and destroyed his box, gave him
three cents chewed gum, and that was it. He walked
out of there, depressed out of his mind. So that's one.
The second one at kalas X, they were putting a
new vending machine in and the guy who ran the
new vending company, he said, hey, want a snack, Take

(09:34):
a snack. It's on me this week. And I said
to him, I said, buddy, I wouldn't do that here,
I wouldn't do that. He goes, no, no, he goes,
you know, you know, I'll lose a bag of chips
or two. So he leaves the street. Squad comes up
with a garbage bag below the you know where the
dispenser is for the vending machine. A one, A one,
A one, A two, A two, A two, A three,

(09:57):
A three. Wiped out the entire machine and they walked
out with garbage bags. That's fantastic, hey man, the whole
Thank God.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
Good for him. Good for him? Right, I mean good
for him. Now let me ask you this. Do you
remember when I slept in the van for thirty days?

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yes, all right, let's talk about that as well. All right, Malamu,
Dan's with us. This is great. May I remember him
from kalis X. He's the best, and he's become the
king of Orange County. What do you say, king? But
I'm bullying you I'm doing Okay, you sold twenty four
homes last year. I did. I did Orange County at
each one around two hundred two million dollars.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
I no, no, four million dollars. No, that would be nice.
At my average is probably about a million two million.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Okay, you're the king of Orange County. I got good
stuff going on. Just you are.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
We are joined by Malabu Dan from the old Kali
Sex Days and a big radio star in his day.
And also he's become the king of real estate in
Orange County. So we want to talking about real estate
Orange County. But first you have, you know, unbelievable stories.
Most of the things that have happened to you were
because of you. You know, you're my fault. Yeah, totally
my fault to your fault. But I remember when we

(11:11):
did a promotion at kalis X where you had to
sleep in a van. I did for thirty days and
then you get the van for free. I did. I
remember remember what I told you? I said, it's not
worth it, No.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
No, it will.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Let me tell you what happened, Okay, And I think
it's important for you to understand the backstory here.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
If you remember, you did a story on a.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Something like East Coast radio station, small market when the
Volkswagen bugs just came out the new body style, and
everyone was touching the vehicle, okay, and it was a
promotional event by a radio station and the radio and
someone died okay because they held their urine in for
so long okay and so soon.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
And of course I'm like I could do that, okay.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
And then at the time, the radio station was so
aggressive that the very next day I get called in
to the general manager's office and they're like, hey, man,
what are you doing for September.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'm like, the month of September. Yeah, what are you
doing for September?

Speaker 4 (12:02):
I'm like, I don't know, man, Like we got you
in point to Hill's knisessan where you're gonna be living
in a van for thirty days in a ZUSA, right,
the loser in Azusa.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Okay. So I wound up sitting there.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
But this is what was tough about it, Like I'm
thinking to myself, this is really a great opportunity because
I was if you remember at the time, I was
getting married okay, and I was like, now I could
get the car okay, and then I could get we're
gonna move out, you know, we have a place, and
so of course I'm like, anyone want to get together with?
Like they think it was living spaces, and they donated

(12:36):
all the furniture.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
So what happened was I had this van and I
had all the furniture, like it was an awesome set
furniture set. But the problem was people would come and
they would stay okay, yeah, right, So I wound up
in this van okay, never having any alone time because the.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Couches I had there were more comfortable than the ones
at home. But this is what happened.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
They they actually took the thing and they like marked
it off with like a rope, right, and then they
put a really beautiful like explanation of what I'm doing there.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
So what happened is out in front of the rope.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
So what happened is people would come and they would
read the explanation and then like a gorilla, they would
look at where I'm at. Right, So for thirty days
they were coming to be like okay, this is high
I'm alibe dan and you know I'm sitting here in
the van, and then then then I completed it.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay, I get in a ton.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Of weight because I got free food and people would
bring me I mean, look truthful.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
You know, people would bring me smoke, and they would.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
Bring me food, and they would bring so I got fat,
which was okay, But this is what really sucked.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
At the very end of it.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
I went to go pick up my check because I
sold back the van to the dealership, right, okay, But
the new models came in while I was in there,
so it devalued the van. So I'm like, cool man,
I'll get like thirty five k Now, it's worth twenty seven.
Now what I just spent thirty days in the van.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
You know what I'm saying. It was horrible r But anyway,
oh so you may not remember this, or maybe you
just have covered it up because there was a bad memory.
But fourteen days into you living in that van, nine
to eleven half, that's exactly right, and this Malibu Dan
had to stay in that van. Well, the world's falling apart, right,
and do phone in. You know, we're like, oh, the

(14:18):
World Trade Center is down there. You know, there's another
plane that's hit you know, the Pentagon. And then Jack
said was like, hey, can you guys go to Malibu
Dan in the van. I'm like, not right now, Jack,
but let me let me check back in like three months.
Maybe we can work him in. He's like, he's like, well,
you know we have this deal with Zuza, you know,

(14:38):
thean dealer. Yeah, cause you go to them, Like Jack,
there are people, the buildings are falling down, you know,
and there's a plane that's just hit the Pentagon. Give
me a day, give me, give me, give me a
couple of moments here to go back to Malibu.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
Dan in the van, that's right, and you and you
and I had to keep my spirit up, you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
And you hated it.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
I know it was horrible. And what was also horrible
about it? It's a simple fan.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
By the way, I've never spelt more bad in my life.
You know what I'm saying. Can a homie get a
shower around here?

Speaker 4 (15:08):
You're telling me there's nowhere around here I can even
clean myself off.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
It really was. You know what I told you, It
is a dumb idea when you started I.

Speaker 4 (15:16):
Know, I know, and I'll tell you what's silly about
it is that that actually that van paid for my wedding.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Okay, you know what I tell is that right? Okay,
I'm gonna fast forward. All right, Thanks for that bad
When we come back, we'll talk Orange County real estate.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
Interest rates are where mid sixes, they're hovering mid sixes.
I predict that by the end of this year we're
gonna go to the high fives.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Okay, And here's the tease. I'm not gonna don't tell
us now, give us some when we come back. Some
Orange County hot zips. Oh I like that hot zips.
It's where are the expensive homes in Orange County? Give it?
I love it? You know where they are?

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Okay, I come back. We'll talk Orange County real estate
for all you Orange County listeners. Malibudan is gonna tell
you where the hot areas are and where the crap
area is of Orange County. If that exists. I don't
think it does.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyl from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Malibu. Dan is with us before we get back to
real estate and Orange County the hot zips. We have
some breaking news here. We got to get into PCH
closed due to a landslide, closed because of a landslide,
to find out where this is breaking news.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
Now PCH closed again after a landslide this afternoon and.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
K CAL News assignment editor Mike Rodgers at the desk. Now,
Mike caltransit just Martin.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Is barely getting about.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
I like when they go to this guy, Mike Rogers,
he's like the producer. He sits at the desk, he
does all the real news, and the anchors just sort
of sit there.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Barely getting a back open. Remember, there's only open to
certain people that are allowed to come through emergency vehicles,
school buses, certain residents, and now unfortunately it is back
to being closed to everyone everyone. PCH closed, according to
cal Trans in the city of Malibu to do continuous mud
and rock slides or video. Skycow was overhead just as
the weather was starting to get bad for us. But
you can see all of the dirty water down there,

(17:05):
the mud that has gone across the lanes. Caltran's concerned
about the stabilities. More of it's going to come down
as we continue to deal with this wet weather and
not having dried out yet. So right now it is
closed until further notice while they try to figure out
exactly how far where we've tolled it's closed. From Carbon
Beach Terrace to Chautauqua.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Okay, there's where it's closed. Okay, you ready, PCH closed. Listen, listen,
PCH closed.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Here we go, Carbon Beach Terrace to Chautauqua.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
All right, Carbon Beach to Chautaqua.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Carbon Beach Terrace to Chautauqua. Los Wors Canyon also closed.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Oh Las Flores Canyon closed.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Los Wors Canyon also closed, Rambla Canyon also closed. To
paying A Canyon also closed. Really a tough time for
those people that live in that area.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
It's gonna be a nightmare for the next couple of
years for people in Malibu.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
That have just been going through these closures one after another.
And now you're adding PCH right back to that list
until further notice, until they can make sure the hillside
is stable.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Okay, Malibu. Dan is with us. We're going to keep
an eye on that closure on PCH. I worked with
him at kalis X. He went out and he left
become a huge real estate guy in Orange County. Very sweet, Tim.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
I wouldn't say huge, but but but I'm doing real estate,
and I love four homes.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Last year I did well. I'm doing well and I
really really love it. Any real estate agent would would
die to get twenty four homes sold in the year.
But it was also think that's true. What's the average? Well,
I don't know. I mean, I have no idea. You
got to be above the average.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
Right.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Where are the hot zip cost? Okay, are are the
most expensive homes in Orangetown. I'm going to tell you
where the where the.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
Hcs are the hot zip Coast Okay, And then I'll
give you my thirty second spill when I deal with
a relocation client. Ok Okay, Newport Coast Okay? Is is
your nineteen six five seven?

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Newport Coast would probably be the number one when it
comes to your thirty forty million dollar homes.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Really, when I mean.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Don't get me wrong, you got data point, you got
the strand, okay, But I'm just saying accumulatively, Newport Coast
is probably you know, the hottest zip code there is
is Okay now, and that's where a lot of celebrities
live a lot like that's where Kobe at his house,
all right, is Newport Coast right, But then probably the
most popular hot ZIP code.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Would be nineteen six six oh, which is Newport Beach. Now,
how much are those homes? Well, I mean an average
is I think? I think I looked up the average.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
You know, last week I looked up the average like
four point four million in Newport Beach.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Okay, okay, Newport Coast is even more right? People paying
cash for these homes.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
You know what, With my recent experience, I'm finding that
cash buyers are they're holding their money. They are so
they're listen, Californians are not completing people, Okay, so they're
always moving and at some point they're like, okay, look,
the rangest rates aren't going to get any better, and
I need a bigger house. I'm just going to go
ahead and do this move right now. The smart play,

(19:51):
by the way, is if you could afford it, and
you see home, you dig, you buy it, and then
when the rates come down, then you refinance. Right now
six and a half having about six and a half
to seven and I believe, and I could be wrong,
but I really truly feel that by the end of
this year we're gonna slide into the fives.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
But this house spoiled. We were like thirty years ago,
interest rates were twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen percent. And now
you know, if we buy a house, you're like, wait
a minute, I can't get a two and a half
percent rate on this house. Scrow it. I'm not buying it.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
But you were stealing money at that point. You're borrowing
money for free. But this is the thing that's kind
of crazy about it. What's gonna happen is you deal
with these buyers all the time, like, look, I'm gonna
wait till the instr rates cruise down. But as soon
as those injuries injur rates cruise down, all the buyers
are gonna get off the bench. And now a house
that you could have bought, let's just call it a
million bucks, is gonna be a bidding war because you're

(20:40):
gonna have more buyers because they could afford more home.
And now you're gonna go to one one, one, two
or whatever it's going to be.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Is San Juan Capistrano is still a hot place to live.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
You know what, Man, I like SJC a lot. There's
some really really great spots there.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I'm gonna be a parade next week.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Oh you're gonna be Oh, I'm gonna get you know what.
By the way, I'm gonna come see you, and I
have to tell you something. You know, you were at
Wendy's okay about three months ago. That's right, okay, I know,
just to remind you you were there. No, I didn't
come by. But this is what's funny about it. Don't
you live I live right there, but you didn't call.
I got nothing from you, okay, but I drove. But
what happened was I was driving down Alicia Parkway. I

(21:17):
had big crowd out there. We had like three hundred people.
One of I got a great friend, Wendy and her
husband Jose. They love you to death, and they sent
me a text, Hey, why are you coming? And I'm like, dude,
where are you know? I didn't know, you.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Know, I forgot that. Look, it's not a din that
I'm like, Hey, I'm going to be in Orange County
at a fast food place. You want to combine?

Speaker 4 (21:36):
That's no, you're right, that's that's Thank you for explaining, right,
But it would have been nice to get the text.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
I was right there. But this is the deal going back.
How farre you lift for that Wendy's maybe two miles.
So that's your Wendy's.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
That's that's my Wendy's, right, No, and it's a great Wendy's.
It used to be my Chinese place. Wendy's came in.
It was I used to have my favorite Chinese place
was there, and they're like, what's.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Going on with you guys?

Speaker 4 (22:02):
And I knew them, you know what I'm saying. But
their ireny is they have the best Chinese food ever.
But the owner was a guy by name of Wan. Oh.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
It was okay, straight up, all right, So let's talk
more about real es. Okay, where's new construction in Orange County?
Now it's everywhere okay, old, but where are like developments
where they're building like eight hundred new homes all in Irvine.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
Okay, but you got other new construction areas throughout. But
the thing about new construction that you got to be
careful of is the is the.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Mela roos Bond.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
Okay, So Melo Roosse Bond is an additional bond. It's
not a tax. The bond that was created in the
mid nineties by two attorneys. Okay, So what happened was
mellow and Russ. So what happened was these two cool
cats got together and with every home that was sold,
they developer got hit up with it, but got hit
for whatever cost. It was the infrastructure like bridges and

(22:49):
light posts and whatnot. These guys got together and they
put that costs on now the consumer. So the average
melar Roofs bond now down in Irvine, for example, is
like a point eight percent. So think about it, you're
paying your California have one and a quarter percent average
one percent out.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
And then they put point eight on the top of
that point point.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
Then they put another point on the tarbet Inland Empire, Menifee, Marietta, well, Menifee, Temecula,
those new homes or even more.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Really they'll get wait for Inland Empire there are more,
they're more.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
You could get a mellowy. Now the melar Roofs fund
is almost one percent.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
So melos is that only for new construction, well anything
built ninety five and above.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
But but but it has expired, Like my melar Roos
was only six hundred bucks a month a month and
it expired a couple of years.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Where's that somebody goes that just in the general fund?

Speaker 4 (23:36):
Nah, it goes to it's supposed to go to the
infrastructure of the community. It's not your hoa, but it's
it's more of like your light posts and your bridges
and all that kind of fun stuff.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
But it's a huge cost. It is.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
However, you can find areas like Baker's Rants or Serrano's
Summit and like forest that has no Melo rus but
you got.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
But it's few and far between for new construction.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
But I'll tell you best bang for the buck in
my union in Orange County is also Viejo and Rancho
Santa Margarita.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Okay, right, well we'll come back. We'll talk about that. Also,
I wanted to tell I'm gonna ask you because nobody
knows this except maybe real estate guys. When the best
time to buy, When the best time to sell? Okay,
you have those you without saying you know those? Well
you bet we'll wait, okay, And then before we got
a commercial break. Nothing has changed with this man, this

(24:27):
Malabu Dan. He was telling me that he has a
spot on his rectum and I and I'm like, and
I said, oh, I said that. I said, yeah, is
that bothering? He says, not really. On a daily basis,
and then Sharon Bellio came in and he says, but
this spot on my rectum is really bothering me. And
Belly was like, oh Christ, what have I walked into.

(24:48):
He goes, yeah, I've had this this, uh this problem
with my rectum for a while. And and and Bellio said,
well have you seen a doctor? And he goes, yeah,
I'm going to uh, you know, optometrist. And she goes, oh,
you mean Retna. All right, right, this is all a

(25:09):
true story too. Listen, listen, just bear with me. It's
a long day, all right, It's a long day.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
But what sucked about it t was my well, look,
my left eye was closing and I was showing a
property in Long Beach and it was getting worse and worse.
And my client's like, look, you know what, you should
go home. Man, It's cool, we'll talk about this house later.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
But how many people have you told you've had problems
a spot on your rectum? Well right now about forty two?
I mean, listeners, do you have quarter of a million?
How many people are listening to this radio show? You
are the best, You're nothing has changed with this man.
He is the best. He is the most entertaining man
in the world. This is fun by far. Do Saxy,
don't get Dozaki should hire you the most entertaining man

(25:49):
in the world. I relyve on KFI. We'll come back.
We'll talk about the best time to buy, best time
to sell, especially in Orange County with Malamdan, the king
of real estate in Orange County.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Forty Malibu Dan as well as he's the king of
Orange County real estate, and we'd like to talk about
Orange County real estate. We know a ton of listeners
in Orange County. I was at the Huntington Beach Police
Awards yesterday and I would I would say thirty or
forty people came up and said, I listened to listen
to you guys on KFI all the time. KFI is
big in Orange County. Oh no, listen, it's probably number

(26:25):
one in OC.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
And I'll tell you when I pulled up here and
I had to part my jeep behind the Wienersnittle, you're
on the corner east raised jeep correct, okay, because it
wouldn't fit in the garage.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
So you know, it took a little bit to walk here,
no big deal.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
Okay, all right, but I actually, for the first time
in months, locked the car.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Buddy. You'll be lucky if that car is there when
you leave here. I'm a tad bit nervous as someone
has now gone with my rins and tires and mady,
it's over. It's done, even in burback not where you are,
all right? Where is the When's the best time to
buy and sell a house in Orange County? Okay? So right?

Speaker 4 (27:00):
So my opinion, okay, which is not the most popular opinion,
but I really believe in it.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
And I'll tell you why. There is no great time
way to sell your opinion. But thanks tough.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
But and there is no bed time best time because
I'll tell you why, okay, because there are so many
people looking to buy and sell in southern California right
that people are always looking. Matter of fact, my favor
I've made consistently most of my money throughout the year
in October, November, December.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Is California still a hot state to move to? You
know what I think it is?

Speaker 4 (27:29):
I think it is, okay, But you talk to a
lot of people that like everyone's moving out.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
I don't see that I see people moving in listen,
move all.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
Day long because you know why, it truly is the
greatest state in the whole entire Union by far, by.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Far, and even how poorly it's run, it's still the
best all day long.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
And people complain and they bitch, and I understand it
because it's expensive. But the reality of it is excluding
like a day like today, which by the way, is
a beautiful day. You're sitting there and you're like, look,
December twenty third, it's seventy eight degrees, right, Okay, Saturday.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Is going to be one of the most beautiful days.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
And my relatives in Toronto it's like negative four.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
I know, it's horrible, all right, So when's the best
month to buy and sell?

Speaker 4 (28:09):
So that's the thing, Like, I don't think that that
there is a great month.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
I think every month is a great month. When when
do you see like like for a peak, No, but
for people have kids they want to get in before
a school year. That's true. So you know what are
the public school is still great in Orange County?

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Oh yeah, majority of them. Here's the misconception. Irvine's a business, right,
They're not. You know, Irvine is is not in my opinion.
A community like a coded to causes a community. A
ranch stand of Margaritea or Villa Park is a true community.
Irvine's a business, so they market how great their schools are.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
One people don't realize.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
Is that all the communities around it, for the most part,
have equally his amazing schools. Newport Mason School District is outstanding,
Capitol is great, Saddleback is great. Okay, So Orange County
is fluttered with really really great schools.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
It's just a matter of where you want to live.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
And I deal with a fair share of relocation clients
and every one of them say Irvine, And not that
I mean to talk them out of it. I'm like, well,
let me give you some other options, because they'll only
have a budget of a million bucks and you could
maybe buy.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
A two bedroom for that Yeah, I mean being facetious,
but for the most part, they probably could. Yeah. You know,
you know, you could get so much.

Speaker 4 (29:19):
More home in other communities and the atmosphere is great.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
What's one of the best communities that's laid out? Cod
Cosa is good? Or Sta Margarita ranch of Santa Margharita
is fantastic. Here's the drill if you don't mind the drive.
RSM is where you want.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
To be Richard Santa Margarita all day long. It is
not only do you sit right below the saddlebacks. Okay,
the people are fantastic. The sheriffs, by the way, don't
mess around.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
I mean I've been.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
I was stepped quick they said, oh listen, I get
pulled over because my license plate bulbits out.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
This is my luck.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Right. So I'm with Lia and my son and we
get pulled over, and I'm like, look, buddy, if two
cops pull up, you're gonna have to get at them walking.
And I could see at the roofline of my house
and here it's a day is long. A second cup
pulls up, and of course Lean's like, hey man, you
get don't worry buddy, I'm used to this. Don't worry
about it, all right, I get, I got this all right?

Speaker 2 (30:09):
If Pepe, But if you want to sell your home,
you're an Orange County I guess anywhere now, Lane, you know,
if you if you want to use Malibu Dan, look,
if you're gonna you're gonna use If you're gonna use

I have great times with my peace. I'm sure you did.
You know what I did today?

Speaker 4 (30:25):
I actually taught a class at Orange Coast College for
two hours.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Really do you believe that? I don't? I know, I
don't and I can't. Most of them are was it
