Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Santa Anita opens I believe tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I look today.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
They were running a card today on Thursday. When I
was growing up, they ran Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
every week and if Monday was a holiday, they would
add Monday to the schedule. But one of the best
trainers in the world. He's won the Kentucky Derby twice.
Not once, win it once. It's a fluke. You win
(00:33):
it twice because you're a good trainer, a great trainer,
and he is with us.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Doug O'Neill, how you Bob?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Doing great at Max? Thanks for that man I build up.
That was great. And I'm staring at my favorite movie
poster of all time, The Long Shot.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Oh that's right, okay, I love the Long Shot. Filmed
at Holly filmed at Hollywood Park.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Mid eight They was all filmed like mid eighties with
your dad and her Kornman. It was just got it is.
If anyone hasn't seen that, you gotta pop that on.
It's a great The day before open the day at
sandyed a great movie to watch.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
In that movie, one of my favorite lines is my
dad and Harvey Korman are getting donuts on the backstretch
in the little coffee shot they have there, and you
hear flies buzzing around, and Harvey has, hey, do you
have any of these any of these donuts without fly
s on?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And use the whole s word.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's honestly, yeah, there are so many funny parts in
that movie. But even if you're just weekend though this.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Weekend, but even if you're just nostalgic for Hollywood Park,
you know all the great shots, you know, the backstretch,
the clubhouse, the you know, general admission. You can see
Hollywood Park again through that movie, the Long Shot.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I mean, how many times did any of us who
were involved in racing or loved the sport of racing
in the seventies, eighties, nineties were in those metal box
seat area there at the hollid Park and oh man,
the old paddock a good time.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So Hollywood Park's not there anymore, but the most beautiful
track in the world. And every time I walk into it,
even though I've been going there for you know, since
I was born, I still catch my breath with how
spectacular the just the you know, the building is and
the grounds and the groundskeepers and the people who keep
that place up. Santa Anita is spectacular place to go
(02:28):
with the family.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I agree that the backdrop is second to none. I
with San Gabriel Mountains. And like you say, the Lord
knows what the landscaping builders on that place because it's
like an arboretum in itself. But got a huge weekend
this weekend. We start off tomorrow and like you said earlier,
I know, back in the day we used to do
five days a week, but now we do it three
but Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sturry tomorrow all the way
(02:52):
till October twenty sixth. And god, there's a lot of
big Breeders' Cup Challenge races horses at are winning. You're in.
I think they have a total form in this upcoming
autumn meat so just a ton of fun. It's uh, God,
you know, Tim, there's just never a bad day of
the track.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It is.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
It's the greatest place in the world period. And and
uh and and also the people that go to the track.
I've never run into a guy who goes to the
racetrack with any kind of regularity who didn't have a
great sense of humor.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I never met one guy.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I mean the greatest sign is I'm just hoping to
break even. I need the money. Yeah, it's uh. People
are there very optimistic, but they're realistic and and uh, yeah,
it's gonna be really cool. And actually this Saturday, if
you're into English pubs, which who isn't in the English
pub they're having a big English pub Day on the
Apron and there at San Nita and they got a
(03:49):
tribute band. It's gonna be playing the Beatles and the Stones,
and they're gonna have fish and chips and beers and cocktails,
and it's gonna mean just when you just when you
think race thing is good in you throw in the
fish and chips and an English tribute band. It's hard
to beat.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So they're going to be open till the end of October,
and then we go to Delmar for Breeders Cup.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah, go to Delmar back to back years the Breeders
Cup at Delmar, So that's always kind of cool right
down there on the beach and then get people from
all over the world. But it is cool that the
San Neita Meat you get a lot of those horses
you're going to see in the Breeders Cup are going
to run once here at this meat here, so kind
of exciting and like you say, it really is second
(04:34):
and none as far as racetrack beauty goes.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Let me ask you Doug O'Neals with us, he's won
the Kentucky Derby twice, very close to winning the Triple Crown.
Let me ask you a logistical question. When they're at
Low Salamados. And by the way, you had a great
Low Seal meat. I saw how many times you won.
It was terrific. But at Low Soal, when they run
thoroughbreds during the day and then they run the quarters
(04:58):
at night, how the hell do they find space on
the backstretch for all those horses.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
That's a great question. I think the population of the
court horses is such that you know, we're able to
share that that barn area there's I don't I think
they got like twelve hundred or fifteen hundred dollars back there.
I know they get a lot, and there's probably five
or six hundred thoroughbreds during the meat there and then
(05:25):
the rest are our court horses. But they have incorporated
a lot of thoroughbred eight to seventy races there at night,
even during the court horse meat, so I only there
are a lot of thoroughbreds that call that home.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
My only complaint with Losal is that you know, when
they opened up that track and they they started running
thoroughbreds there more often. I just wish, I just wish
that stretch was much longer at low Sell got a mighty.
I have lost so many fing races because that nine
mile stretch.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
It kills me.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
It does seem like you're jockey oftentimes finishes up waring pajamas.
You're like, what's just happened there? I mean, you haven't
seen the guy per day?
Speaker 4 (06:06):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
But we all wish Hollywod Park was still around. But
Locile does a trick with no Hollywood Park.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That's right? So what is first post? Tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Got we got the whole meat three days a week
until from starting tomorrow till October twenty sixth. They start
at one o'clock, so no confusing like some days. This
one o'clock every day and got it. It's great. You
can get off work early, come off for a few races.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I like the one o'clock start, but I also appreciate
the two o'clock and four o'clock start at del Mar.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Those are cool nights and days two at del.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Mar, I green have a little lunch. I know, it
kind of extends the day a little bit. I tend
to agree. And I think with LA that too, you
get a little chance to sober up a little bit.
But I think with the LA traffic, the one o'clock
work works beat for Sandy and it's gonna be fun. Yeah,
(07:04):
hopefully we'll get you out there out there.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
When I'm out there, I'm with the mustard crowd, you know,
sitting around with the guys who are losing their asses.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I will be there.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Thanks for coming on. I hope you have a great
meet and we'll see you out there.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Ding dong, let's go wrong with.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
You, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Doug O'Neil, thanks man, Thank you. Doug O'Neil world class trainer.
He has won the Kentucky Derby twice twice, which is
not a fluke. You can win it once, could be
a fluke, can't win it twice unless you're a great trainer.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
You see, like because as much as you're around it
and around trainers and stuff like that. Do you see
the differences in like we say Doug and how he
actually does train the horses. I mean it's like to you,
is there a discernible difference in his success that you
can correlate? No?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
No? I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I'm not there early enough.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They always train those horses at four thirty five in
the morning. They run them at the moment the sun
breaks at Santannita is when they start running these horses,
and so they get out there at Clocker's Corner, which
is where they serve donuts and coffee and breakfast, and
they start at four thirty am. So Doug O'Neill a
lot of the time is at the track from four
thirty until the last race at Sanity, which is usually
(08:16):
the ninth race at four thirty. You actually ever seen
Doug on a horse? Now, I've never seen him on
a horse. On a horse, I think the horse would
look up and go, please, it's wrong with you, But
it is. It's a great time to be out there
at Sannita. It's fall weather, it's not gonna be hot
like it is during the summer, and it's just a
great place to hang. San Anita starts tomorrow and I
(08:38):
can't wait.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Dean Sharp is with us. He's on every single Thursday.
He's well, he's on every Saturday here on KFI from
six to eight am, and then Sunday from nine am
till noon on KFI also in San Diego. But he
makes time with us every Thursday because a lot of
people listen to the show. Their favorite segments are do
it yourself rebuilding, you know, hiring contractors, expanding your home
(09:09):
because a lot of people can't afford a new home,
but maybe you can't afford to fix and rebuild, and
you know, renovate your own home. And Dean comes on
with us every single week. Dean, thanks for coming on
with us. Man sure, man, always always a pleasure. Hey,
before we get going here, I know we're going to
talk bathrooms. I got a question for you concerning bathrooms.
Are you familiar with Runyon Canyon? You and your wife
(09:30):
ever go up hiking up there?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah? Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
They want to build bathrooms up there, a men's room
and a women's room, and they have set aside one
million dollars for a man's toilet and a woman's toilet.
And I said yesterday on the air, I would ask
you if the land Let's say you owned a piece
of property in San Fernando Valley, because the state or
(09:55):
the county or the city owns that runyon property, so
they're not going to have to pay any money for
the property. But let's say you're going to build a house.
Let's say you had two acres in Northridge and you're
going to build a house that cost one million dollars
to build. And if you want to just not not
an elaborate, not high end, just you know, a family
of you know, three or four or whatever, and you
(10:15):
want to build a house that costs a million dollars
to build with no no fees, no no property, just
the you know, the dry wall, the two by four's,
the doors, the windows, all this stuff. How many square
feet could you build?
Speaker 7 (10:30):
Well, let's say we're gonna do it nice, right, just
like let's.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Say average you know, like a like an average like
nineteen seventy style you know home.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
You're going to put in about twenty eight hundred square feet.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Okay, I said about three thousand to thirty five hundred.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Okay, yeah, you know, I mean, yeah, realistically, yeah, close
to three twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Twenty nine hundred.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Okay, so that that's probably a four plus four.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Oh yeah, I mean that's a healthy house.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
A million dollars, three thousand square feet, and they're building two.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Toilets or or or two toilets. Right.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
But let's say, all right, let me ask you a
different question. Let's say you wanted to go low end.
You're like just barely getting by, you know, the city ordinances,
you know, building a house where you're not sure if
it's gonna survive the first earthquake? Could you build a
five thousand square foot house with like just the crappiest
(11:27):
material in the world.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Well, yeah, I mean with cardboard maybe, But I bet
you could. You could build if you went low And
let's say let's say let's say you were me. Let's
say you don't have to pay a contractor oh okay,
let's say let's say you set aside some some time.
I would actually just get out there and do your
own sweat equity, and you're basically just buying materials. Okay,
(11:52):
for a million bucks, you could do a little probably
four thousand plus, it's not incredible.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
All right, let's talk bathrooms.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I know a lot of people, other than the kitchen,
think that the bathrooms are the most important rooms in
the house. I disagree in my opinion. I think it's kitchen,
then bedrooms, and then bathrooms. But what do you think
the order is important?
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Well, I mean it depends on what you mean by important, right,
I mean, bathrooms aren't public rooms. But to that point,
let me let me throw a little, uh little you know,
philosophical wizardry at you. Right, it can be argued that
perhaps the bathroom is, as we all grow up, the
most groundbreaking important room in the house, because think about this,
(12:41):
Think it through, Think it through. Okay, you're a three
year old, you're a four year old right now, you're
getting a little older. The bathroom first room ever in
your life that your parents say, go in there, timmy,
by yourself. You can close the door, you can be
in there by yourself. Oh that's great. It is the
first experience for most of us of the idea of
(13:04):
complete privacy, and to the to the point where I
would argue that stays with us our whole lives. You're
at a restaurant, where you're at a party somewhere and
you're in a boring conversation and you know what's the
easiest way, Hey, you know what, I got to use
the restaurant. You don't have to go, you don't have
to pee. But guess what, once you get in that
room that's yours, you stand in that, you close the
(13:24):
door to that stall, you own it, and you know that.
And so in that sense, in that sense, it's pretty important.
And you know, as the years have gone on, I'm
not gonna say it's the most important room, but as
the years have gone on, things have definitely shifted. Over
the last thirty years or so, bathrooms are now full
on retreats. Okay, They're not just a utility, and they're
(13:44):
not just a place, you know, like up and running
canyon where you go pee okay and get on with
your life.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
No.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Now it's a place where it's like, uh, I'm just
gonna come in here, I'm gonna shut this door. And
a lot of bathrooms are getting that whole spa like
vibe going on in them because pe will like to
just have their space.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Okay, that is a great argument for it to be,
you know, an important room. In the house.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I heard a rule of thumb, and maybe you can
confirm or deny this, but I've heard it from several contractors.
If you have a bathtub in your house and it's
the only bathtub in the house, don't ever demo it
and put a walk in shower, because when you go
to sell that home to a family, they want a
place to bathe their kids.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Well, okay, so again, if this is your forever home
and you don't care, then do whatever you want, right, yeah, right, exactly.
But if there is resale in the future and that's
of any concern to you, then you should realize that,
you know, the universal rule is that toddlers don't shower.
They don't you know, little kids that three year olds
(14:47):
don't shower. They need a place. You got to stick
them in a tub somewhere. So if there's any chance
that the house that you occupy is going to potentially
be sold to a young family, which is quite often
the case, then you don't want to exclude, you know,
half of the potential buyers for your home because there's
no place for them to watch their kid other than
(15:08):
the kitchen sink.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I think you're right, and you know, you say, obviously,
toddlers don't, you know, shower. Sometimes teenagers don't shower as well.
Oh yeah, well that's the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I had a family member who thought showering was for
the birds, odd odd odd way to look at it.
When did this come into effect, Dean? You know, if
you go to a high end hotel in Vegas or
you know, New York, San Francisco, La, I saw, like,
I don't know, maybe in the nineteen eighties or so,
they developed a special room within the bathroom for the
(15:44):
toilet that had its own door. And I think that
is the sign that you've made it. That is in
my industry, in the design world, it is classically a
luxury amenity for a home.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, and a.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Lot of people try and cram one in the you know,
their thirteen hundred square foot home. It's it's a water closet, right,
and and that's exactly what it means, is that, And
you know, sometimes against our advice, but you know again,
people like that bathroom stall, inner privacy, vibe inside a room,
(16:21):
inside a room, you know, just for the toilet. And
that's one of the big questions if you're going to
remodel all right, because you may actually already have one
in a bathroom. I'll tell you this, more often than not,
after I've had a cogent conversation with a client, with
a homeowner, about eighty percent of the time, I win
the argument for taking away the water closet. And I
don't hate them, not that I it's not that I
(16:42):
hate them. I've got nothing against a water closet. It's
like this, I have nothing against walk in closets, okay,
but they are wastes of space.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
And if you've got the size of home that can
afford to have a walk in closet, okay, great, celebrate it,
have a blast. But if we're trying to get something
really important done in the house and we're trying to
find extra square footage a walking closet, you know, you
think about it, Over fifty percent of the space in
a walking closet is just sitting there empty because the
(17:12):
square footage is for you to stand there. Now talking
about store clothes, Okay, So the same is kind of
true with a water closet, right, Do you really need
a separate room for the toilet when you can just
put it at the end of the vanity over there,
and that's.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Really the issue.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
So we have to talk through those priorities with clients
all the time.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I never thought about that until you just mentioned it.
The waste of space a walking closet is you were
exactly right. My closet at our house is just you know,
mirrored doors that I pull aside and I've got, you know,
my shelves, and but my wife and my daughter have
walking closets, and I think you're right, it's a waste
of space.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
I mean again, if you got the space to waste,
you know that. When I say it's a waste of space,
I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it is
a bad thing. If you are space challenged and you're
trying to get more important things done. Then just walking
into a space and feeling like, you know, you're the queen,
I think you're kardashing or something like that. So sometimes
you let it go. And what you're talking about a
(18:09):
two foot deep slide the door open there are you're closed.
That is the most efficient space you'll closet on the
planet because it's just holding the clothes nothing else.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
That's a great idea, all right. You can say abou us.
Dean Sharp is with us. He's on every Saturday from
six am to eight am and then Sunday nine am
till noon. Very very popular weekend show here on KFI.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
It's Conway Show.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyan from KFI
AM six forty Dean, what.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Is the piece of equipment?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And I forgot the name that you told me about
because I went through this today and I go through
it every day, especially in the winter. I leave the
water running until and sometimes it's two, three, four five
minutes until the hot water gets there. How can I
solve that? And what's the piece of equipment you recommend? Oh,
you're talking about a bridge valve. That's it.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
It's called the bridge valve and that works in combination
with a little recirculation pump that you can either mount
underneath the sink in question, or you can put it
back by the water heater if you want to run
the wiring between the two. But a bridge valve ten
perture sensitive bridge valve. It basically mounts outside the wall.
You don't have to tear up your wall or anything
(19:20):
like that. You go from the hot water to the
cold water. It bridges those two together, and then the
water continues up to the faucet. And what that does
is when the bridge valve detects on the hot water
side that that hot water has cooled off, like it's
gotten just kind of cold or lukewarm, then it calls
(19:41):
for the recirculating pump to turn on. The pump pushes
new hot water down that line, but instead of it
all going down the drain, which is what we're all
doing to the tune of billions of gallons of water
every year, it's pushing the hot water or the I
should say, the lukewarm water into the cold water side,
so the water stays in your house.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
You know, that's great.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Water, that's great, and that now I understand, now that
you've explained it, now I understand how it works. It's
recirculating through it's using both lines.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
It's using both lines.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Yeah, and so it doesn't really recirculate exactly. I mean,
when we when we plumb a house at the beginning, uh,
and somebody wants a recirculating hot water system, we avoid
all this by just making the whole hot water system
in a big loop that heads back to the water heater.
And that's just constantly moving. But this is for people,
this for everybody else, for normal folks, normal homes. You
(20:36):
don't have a recirculating circuit built in your Your plumbing
system looks more like a tree, you know, with branches
branching out. And what you do though the sink for
not the most important sink, but the sink furthest away
from the hot water heater. That's where you want to
put the bridge valve, because as it draws hot water
to it, then hot water will get closer to all
(20:58):
the other sinks by default. Oh that's great, that's that
is great.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
What percentage of people who install who you've installed showers for,
ask you to remove the governor from the shower head of.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
All that? Right?
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Wow, I don't want anyone listening from the city right now.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
And how do you do?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
You put a dry wall screw into it and then
pull it out and explain how it's.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Done on the air.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I'm gonna get soon.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
All I'm gonna tell.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
You is that, uh, that thing has there's a something,
there's a thing in there, right and it's not there anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
The water will flow. I don't know anybody who hasn't
pulled that out of there. I mean, well, you know,
I bought it. I bought a shower head for my
wife about a month ago. And I'm not gonna say
what store this was. But the guy when I was
checking it out, he said, hey, do you want me
pull the governor out of there for you? Oh my gosh,
(22:03):
at the star the guy who's willing to do.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
It, you know, Okay, well, hey, you know what, Hey,
you know what. That's how I know I'm in a
different state. By the way, when I'm traveling, okay, like
a hotel in a different state and you got you
expect you just you know, you expect to go in
there and just have it dribble out and all of
a sudden it's just gushy.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
I'm like, oh my gosh, I mean Colorado.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
One of the great things about you're right, being outside
of the state of California is when you get to
your room in your hotel, the water pressure in the
shower is like Niagara falls.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
And so by the way, so everybody who was listening
and thinking, wait, you can't pull that out, they they
designed that thing with it.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
No, they didn't.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
They designed this, this shower head to be sold nationwide
across the planet. Only in California and states like it
do we shove restrictors in them because of you know,
water regulation. So the restrict is a it's an afterthought always,
which always means that, you know, we could it could
disappear one night. Yeah, it's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I do like the you know. Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
There's a lot of people that like the shower where
you can remove it, uh and there's a magnet that
holds it up and you can you know why. But
I'm old school. I like just one simple shower head
there and you know, and that's that's my life.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Yeah, I like you you know what, here's I have.
I do really love a rain head shower head.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
So I gotta say those are nice. But if you
were to ask me, Dean, if you had to be
stranded on a desert island with one shower head, right,
uh uh, it would be a speakman style shower head.
Speaker down. You guys have all seen it. You've all
seen it's kind of a conical shower head. And what
it's got on the side, It doesn't have one of
(23:44):
those funky dials that purports to give you eight different
types of stream, because let's face it, you never know there,
you know, seven out of eight of them are just crap,
and you'll, you know, just find the one that works
for you. But a Speakman shower head does have an
adjustable spray. It's got a big old on one side, okay,
And as you do that lever, the center moves in
and out and it slightly adjusts the spray. But it
(24:07):
is possibly the world's most reliable, dependable, and and and
just quality showerhead now that it was a brand and
a lot of different to almost every major manufacturer now
of showerheads has a Speakman styles. Okay, that's how much
the brand has had an effect on the industry.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
All right, So this weekend, what are we looking forward
to on the show?
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Well, this tomorrow it's all calls as always for Saturday,
so everybody gets to set the agenda. Sunday show, we're
talking about bathroom remodels. But I got to tell our
LA listeners that I am preempted in LA on Sunday

But we are doing the show it's going to be

here this week. So so I'll be there games at
kickoffs at ten. So I think that be way east
coast somewhere. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I'd have to look it up. KTLA is still kicking, ass,
I think.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
So.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
You know, it's been uh, it's it's been the it's
been the honor of my life, really, Tim.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, why are you winking?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
No, it's really good. I mean I get to kind
of do whatever I want, which is like, you know
how rare that is in this business, where like you
actually have your own lane and you can make the
decisions about what you're covering and what you're talking about.
I I have always found that I I kind of
felt like a make a Wish kid, where like I
don't know how I ended up in this, in this position.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It really is awesome, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I Mean it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I felt the same way when I started here. I
felt like, you know, Dick Clark was going to come
in and go, we're just kidding, yeah, you know, you know,
Blooper's Show or something but so you're on KTLA is
the most popular morning news show, maybe in America, but
it certainly is here in not.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
I think it's the number one news morning news show
in America.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah, and and KFI the number one talk station. And
some people say in America, and you got both, I
got yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
I know. I'm like the law Brothers in between those
two trucks. You know, I got my one leg on
one truck, one leg on the other truck, and we're
just seeing where it goes. I love it. And you
know what is amazing is that it doesn't feel like work.
And I mean that's the best part about this is
like I always had the dream of making it in
some kind of form of media good and I have
(27:26):
been employed one day. Well, with your blessing, I'm looking
for it. But no, it's amazing because you know, you
get to come into this building or go into that building,
and sometimes you can have that moment of out of
your own head and think, man, this is so cool.
But I got to tell you, I am so sick
of hearing my own voice.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Really.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yes, I was just talking to Brigitta about this. I
was like, you know, there's a lot of me that
I'm that I'm thinking about and talking about all the time,
and I you know.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Could get over that.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Okay, good, Yeah, before we get into what's going on,
the big story obviously is the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Oh yeah, you didn't grow up a Dodger fan.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Well, the Indianapolis Indians, right, you never heard of him
for a good reason. So it wasn't hard for me
to become a Dodger fan when I came.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Were you a Notre Dame fan?
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yes? Yeah, sure, I mean that they were Notre Dame
was a little further away and has a little less
representation in Indianapolis than like an IU or a producer.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah yeah, yeah, so yeah, we were Hoosiers for sure.
But big basketball, I mean that huge basket like Bobby Knight. Yeah,
you know, I grew up with knowing that the guy
who was our hero had a terrible anger issue.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Sure, through chairs, through those chairs.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Yeah, can you imagine if people did that today.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It's amazing that he only did that once and it
was caught on video, and every time you think of him,
you see him finding that chair somebody.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I mean, it's it's like wrestling. It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
He was great.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Ye, what's on the big show to night Bub.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
We've got in from O Kelly tonight from seven to ten.
We're talking to Jack Primavera, who works on the Voice.
That's a TV show. They're coming back pretty soon. We're
talking about the state of music in l A. Things
are tough out there for musicians. Yeah, and also at
eight thirty, you're gonna love this Glenn Walker.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Glenn Walker, the actual Glen Walker will be calling.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You know.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
I couldn't get him to come all the way down here.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I like Walker. I text him all the time and
he's great.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yeah, And thank you for taking such good care of
his mom.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
You got it.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Glenn Walker's mom lived about two blocks from me. And
I said to Glenn one day, I said, hey, if
you're if you're on the air and there's an emergency
and your mom ever needs anything, I live.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I can walk there in two minutes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
And and I and I and I said that just
as the empty promise that it.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Should have been just a nice thing to say.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Okay, it cost me all the time.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Hey, my mom's out of milk, my mom's car is
not starting.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
You know, well, you're you're really cold, you know, he's
he doesn't trust everybody, so that's a big deal. I
also remember when.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I'm thinking about moving, Oh, you gotta to get away
from Walker's mom.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
So you know, I think one time you said he's
the only good one over there at KTLA.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Anymore.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
I heard that live. I was like, Sarah, I may
have said that before you got no I remember. That's great,
all right, Well.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
That's you know, that's it's proof that you can't you know,
you always listen to radio and and expect, you know,
nice things all the time. Buddy, I'm glad you're here
on the station, and it's great. I think it's a
great career move as well, because physically this, you know,
there's not even close. But it's more difficult in Los
Angeles to get a radio talk show than it is
(30:37):
to be on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hey, not physically,
but there were fewer talk radio talk shows in LA
than there are people who play for the Dodger.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
That is huge. I will I will think about that forever.
The compensation slightly different, a lot different. Yeah, it's wildly different.
But I'll tell you what, in terms of I don't
need to be on the Dodgers I could be not
I could be Mike Trout. Yeah yeah, I'm okay being
in that as our talk show hosts go, yeah, I
just want to come in and do the thing, feel
good about it, and go home.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Perfect, all right.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
In Formo Kelly tonight, Andy Reesemeyer until ten o'clock tonight.
Thank nice to see it. Thank you good to see it.
We're live on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear
us live on KFI AM six forty four to seven
pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the
iHeartRadio app
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Santa Anita opens I believe tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I look today.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
They were running a card today on Thursday. When I
was growing up, they ran Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
every week and if Monday was a holiday, they would
add Monday to the schedule. But one of the best
trainers in the world. He's won the Kentucky Derby twice.
Not once, win it once. It's a fluke. You win
(00:33):
it twice because you're a good trainer, a great trainer,
and he is with us.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Doug O'Neill, how you Bob?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Doing great at Max? Thanks for that man I build up.
That was great. And I'm staring at my favorite movie
poster of all time, The Long Shot.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Oh that's right, okay, I love the Long Shot. Filmed
at Holly filmed at Hollywood Park.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Mid eight They was all filmed like mid eighties with
your dad and her Kornman. It was just got it is.
If anyone hasn't seen that, you gotta pop that on.
It's a great The day before open the day at
sandyed a great movie to watch.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
In that movie, one of my favorite lines is my
dad and Harvey Korman are getting donuts on the backstretch
in the little coffee shot they have there, and you
hear flies buzzing around, and Harvey has, hey, do you
have any of these any of these donuts without fly
s on?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And use the whole s word.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It's honestly, yeah, there are so many funny parts in
that movie. But even if you're just weekend though this.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Weekend, but even if you're just nostalgic for Hollywood Park,
you know all the great shots, you know, the backstretch,
the clubhouse, the you know, general admission. You can see
Hollywood Park again through that movie, the Long Shot.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I mean, how many times did any of us who
were involved in racing or loved the sport of racing
in the seventies, eighties, nineties were in those metal box
seat area there at the hollid Park and oh man,
the old paddock a good time.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So Hollywood Park's not there anymore, but the most beautiful
track in the world. And every time I walk into it,
even though I've been going there for you know, since
I was born, I still catch my breath with how
spectacular the just the you know, the building is and
the grounds and the groundskeepers and the people who keep
that place up. Santa Anita is spectacular place to go
(02:28):
with the family.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I agree that the backdrop is second to none. I
with San Gabriel Mountains. And like you say, the Lord
knows what the landscaping builders on that place because it's
like an arboretum in itself. But got a huge weekend
this weekend. We start off tomorrow and like you said earlier,
I know, back in the day we used to do
five days a week, but now we do it three
but Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sturry tomorrow all the way
(02:52):
till October twenty sixth. And god, there's a lot of
big Breeders' Cup Challenge races horses at are winning. You're in.
I think they have a total form in this upcoming
autumn meat so just a ton of fun. It's uh, God,
you know, Tim, there's just never a bad day of
the track.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It is.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
It's the greatest place in the world period. And and
uh and and also the people that go to the track.
I've never run into a guy who goes to the
racetrack with any kind of regularity who didn't have a
great sense of humor.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I never met one guy.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I mean the greatest sign is I'm just hoping to
break even. I need the money. Yeah, it's uh. People
are there very optimistic, but they're realistic and and uh, yeah,
it's gonna be really cool. And actually this Saturday, if
you're into English pubs, which who isn't in the English
pub they're having a big English pub Day on the
Apron and there at San Nita and they got a
(03:49):
tribute band. It's gonna be playing the Beatles and the Stones,
and they're gonna have fish and chips and beers and cocktails,
and it's gonna mean just when you just when you
think race thing is good in you throw in the
fish and chips and an English tribute band. It's hard
to beat.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So they're going to be open till the end of October,
and then we go to Delmar for Breeders Cup.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah, go to Delmar back to back years the Breeders
Cup at Delmar, So that's always kind of cool right
down there on the beach and then get people from
all over the world. But it is cool that the
San Neita Meat you get a lot of those horses
you're going to see in the Breeders Cup are going
to run once here at this meat here, so kind
of exciting and like you say, it really is second
(04:34):
and none as far as racetrack beauty goes.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Let me ask you Doug O'Neals with us, he's won
the Kentucky Derby twice, very close to winning the Triple Crown.
Let me ask you a logistical question. When they're at
Low Salamados. And by the way, you had a great
Low Seal meat. I saw how many times you won.
It was terrific. But at Low Soal, when they run
thoroughbreds during the day and then they run the quarters
(04:58):
at night, how the hell do they find space on
the backstretch for all those horses.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
That's a great question. I think the population of the
court horses is such that you know, we're able to
share that that barn area there's I don't I think
they got like twelve hundred or fifteen hundred dollars back there.
I know they get a lot, and there's probably five
or six hundred thoroughbreds during the meat there and then
(05:25):
the rest are our court horses. But they have incorporated
a lot of thoroughbred eight to seventy races there at night,
even during the court horse meat, so I only there
are a lot of thoroughbreds that call that home.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
My only complaint with Losal is that you know, when
they opened up that track and they they started running
thoroughbreds there more often. I just wish, I just wish
that stretch was much longer at low Sell got a mighty.
I have lost so many fing races because that nine
mile stretch.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
It kills me.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
It does seem like you're jockey oftentimes finishes up waring pajamas.
You're like, what's just happened there? I mean, you haven't
seen the guy per day?
Speaker 4 (06:06):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
But we all wish Hollywod Park was still around. But
Locile does a trick with no Hollywood Park.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That's right? So what is first post? Tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Got we got the whole meat three days a week
until from starting tomorrow till October twenty sixth. They start
at one o'clock, so no confusing like some days. This
one o'clock every day and got it. It's great. You
can get off work early, come off for a few races.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I like the one o'clock start, but I also appreciate
the two o'clock and four o'clock start at del Mar.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Those are cool nights and days two at del.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Mar, I green have a little lunch. I know, it
kind of extends the day a little bit. I tend
to agree. And I think with LA that too, you
get a little chance to sober up a little bit.
But I think with the LA traffic, the one o'clock
work works beat for Sandy and it's gonna be fun. Yeah,
(07:04):
hopefully we'll get you out there out there.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
When I'm out there, I'm with the mustard crowd, you know,
sitting around with the guys who are losing their asses.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I will be there.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Thanks for coming on. I hope you have a great
meet and we'll see you out there.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Ding dong, let's go wrong with.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
You, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Doug O'Neil, thanks man, Thank you. Doug O'Neil world class trainer.
He has won the Kentucky Derby twice twice, which is
not a fluke. You can win it once, could be
a fluke, can't win it twice unless you're a great trainer.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
You see, like because as much as you're around it
and around trainers and stuff like that. Do you see
the differences in like we say Doug and how he
actually does train the horses. I mean it's like to you,
is there a discernible difference in his success that you
can correlate? No?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
No? I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I'm not there early enough.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They always train those horses at four thirty five in
the morning. They run them at the moment the sun
breaks at Santannita is when they start running these horses,
and so they get out there at Clocker's Corner, which
is where they serve donuts and coffee and breakfast, and
they start at four thirty am. So Doug O'Neill a
lot of the time is at the track from four
thirty until the last race at Sanity, which is usually
(08:16):
the ninth race at four thirty. You actually ever seen
Doug on a horse? Now, I've never seen him on
a horse. On a horse, I think the horse would
look up and go, please, it's wrong with you, But
it is. It's a great time to be out there
at Sannita. It's fall weather, it's not gonna be hot
like it is during the summer, and it's just a
great place to hang. San Anita starts tomorrow and I
(08:38):
can't wait.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Dean Sharp is with us. He's on every single Thursday.
He's well, he's on every Saturday here on KFI from
six to eight am, and then Sunday from nine am
till noon on KFI also in San Diego. But he
makes time with us every Thursday because a lot of
people listen to the show. Their favorite segments are do
it yourself rebuilding, you know, hiring contractors, expanding your home
(09:09):
because a lot of people can't afford a new home,
but maybe you can't afford to fix and rebuild, and
you know, renovate your own home. And Dean comes on
with us every single week. Dean, thanks for coming on
with us. Man sure, man, always always a pleasure. Hey,
before we get going here, I know we're going to
talk bathrooms. I got a question for you concerning bathrooms.
Are you familiar with Runyon Canyon? You and your wife
(09:30):
ever go up hiking up there?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah? Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
They want to build bathrooms up there, a men's room
and a women's room, and they have set aside one
million dollars for a man's toilet and a woman's toilet.
And I said yesterday on the air, I would ask
you if the land Let's say you owned a piece
of property in San Fernando Valley, because the state or
(09:55):
the county or the city owns that runyon property, so
they're not going to have to pay any money for
the property. But let's say you're going to build a house.
Let's say you had two acres in Northridge and you're
going to build a house that cost one million dollars
to build. And if you want to just not not
an elaborate, not high end, just you know, a family
of you know, three or four or whatever, and you
(10:15):
want to build a house that costs a million dollars
to build with no no fees, no no property, just
the you know, the dry wall, the two by four's,
the doors, the windows, all this stuff. How many square
feet could you build?
Speaker 7 (10:30):
Well, let's say we're gonna do it nice, right, just
like let's.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Say average you know, like a like an average like
nineteen seventy style you know home.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
You're going to put in about twenty eight hundred square feet.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Okay, I said about three thousand to thirty five hundred.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Okay, yeah, you know, I mean, yeah, realistically, yeah, close
to three twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Twenty nine hundred.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Okay, so that that's probably a four plus four.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Oh yeah, I mean that's a healthy house.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
A million dollars, three thousand square feet, and they're building two.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Toilets or or or two toilets. Right.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
But let's say, all right, let me ask you a
different question. Let's say you wanted to go low end.
You're like just barely getting by, you know, the city ordinances,
you know, building a house where you're not sure if
it's gonna survive the first earthquake? Could you build a
five thousand square foot house with like just the crappiest
(11:27):
material in the world.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Well, yeah, I mean with cardboard maybe, But I bet
you could. You could build if you went low And
let's say let's say let's say you were me. Let's
say you don't have to pay a contractor oh okay,
let's say let's say you set aside some some time.
I would actually just get out there and do your
own sweat equity, and you're basically just buying materials. Okay,
(11:52):
for a million bucks, you could do a little probably
four thousand plus, it's not incredible.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
All right, let's talk bathrooms.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I know a lot of people, other than the kitchen,
think that the bathrooms are the most important rooms in
the house. I disagree in my opinion. I think it's kitchen,
then bedrooms, and then bathrooms. But what do you think
the order is important?
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Well, I mean it depends on what you mean by important, right,
I mean, bathrooms aren't public rooms. But to that point,
let me let me throw a little, uh little you know,
philosophical wizardry at you. Right, it can be argued that
perhaps the bathroom is, as we all grow up, the
most groundbreaking important room in the house, because think about this,
(12:41):
Think it through, Think it through. Okay, you're a three
year old, you're a four year old right now, you're
getting a little older. The bathroom first room ever in
your life that your parents say, go in there, timmy,
by yourself. You can close the door, you can be
in there by yourself. Oh that's great. It is the
first experience for most of us of the idea of
(13:04):
complete privacy, and to the to the point where I
would argue that stays with us our whole lives. You're
at a restaurant, where you're at a party somewhere and
you're in a boring conversation and you know what's the
easiest way, Hey, you know what, I got to use
the restaurant. You don't have to go, you don't have
to pee. But guess what, once you get in that
room that's yours, you stand in that, you close the
(13:24):
door to that stall, you own it, and you know that.
And so in that sense, in that sense, it's pretty important.
And you know, as the years have gone on, I'm
not gonna say it's the most important room, but as
the years have gone on, things have definitely shifted. Over
the last thirty years or so, bathrooms are now full
on retreats. Okay, They're not just a utility, and they're
(13:44):
not just a place, you know, like up and running
canyon where you go pee okay and get on with
your life.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
No.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Now it's a place where it's like, uh, I'm just
gonna come in here, I'm gonna shut this door. And
a lot of bathrooms are getting that whole spa like
vibe going on in them because pe will like to
just have their space.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Okay, that is a great argument for it to be,
you know, an important room. In the house.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I heard a rule of thumb, and maybe you can
confirm or deny this, but I've heard it from several contractors.
If you have a bathtub in your house and it's
the only bathtub in the house, don't ever demo it
and put a walk in shower, because when you go
to sell that home to a family, they want a
place to bathe their kids.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Well, okay, so again, if this is your forever home
and you don't care, then do whatever you want, right, yeah, right, exactly.
But if there is resale in the future and that's
of any concern to you, then you should realize that,
you know, the universal rule is that toddlers don't shower.
They don't you know, little kids that three year olds
(14:47):
don't shower. They need a place. You got to stick
them in a tub somewhere. So if there's any chance
that the house that you occupy is going to potentially
be sold to a young family, which is quite often
the case, then you don't want to exclude, you know,
half of the potential buyers for your home because there's
no place for them to watch their kid other than
(15:08):
the kitchen sink.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I think you're right, and you know, you say, obviously,
toddlers don't, you know, shower. Sometimes teenagers don't shower as well.
Oh yeah, well that's the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I had a family member who thought showering was for
the birds, odd odd odd way to look at it.
When did this come into effect, Dean? You know, if
you go to a high end hotel in Vegas or
you know, New York, San Francisco, La, I saw, like,
I don't know, maybe in the nineteen eighties or so,
they developed a special room within the bathroom for the
(15:44):
toilet that had its own door. And I think that
is the sign that you've made it. That is in
my industry, in the design world, it is classically a
luxury amenity for a home.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, and a.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Lot of people try and cram one in the you know,
their thirteen hundred square foot home. It's it's a water closet, right,
and and that's exactly what it means, is that, And
you know, sometimes against our advice, but you know again,
people like that bathroom stall, inner privacy, vibe inside a room,
(16:21):
inside a room, you know, just for the toilet. And
that's one of the big questions if you're going to
remodel all right, because you may actually already have one
in a bathroom. I'll tell you this, more often than not,
after I've had a cogent conversation with a client, with
a homeowner, about eighty percent of the time, I win
the argument for taking away the water closet. And I
don't hate them, not that I it's not that I
(16:42):
hate them. I've got nothing against a water closet. It's
like this, I have nothing against walk in closets, okay,
but they are wastes of space.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
And if you've got the size of home that can
afford to have a walk in closet, okay, great, celebrate it,
have a blast. But if we're trying to get something
really important done in the house and we're trying to
find extra square footage a walking closet, you know, you
think about it, Over fifty percent of the space in
a walking closet is just sitting there empty because the
(17:12):
square footage is for you to stand there. Now talking
about store clothes, Okay, So the same is kind of
true with a water closet, right, Do you really need
a separate room for the toilet when you can just
put it at the end of the vanity over there,
and that's.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Really the issue.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
So we have to talk through those priorities with clients
all the time.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I never thought about that until you just mentioned it.
The waste of space a walking closet is you were
exactly right. My closet at our house is just you know,
mirrored doors that I pull aside and I've got, you know,
my shelves, and but my wife and my daughter have
walking closets, and I think you're right, it's a waste
of space.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
I mean again, if you got the space to waste,
you know that. When I say it's a waste of space,
I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it is
a bad thing. If you are space challenged and you're
trying to get more important things done. Then just walking
into a space and feeling like, you know, you're the queen,
I think you're kardashing or something like that. So sometimes
you let it go. And what you're talking about a
(18:09):
two foot deep slide the door open there are you're closed.
That is the most efficient space you'll closet on the
planet because it's just holding the clothes nothing else.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
That's a great idea, all right. You can say abou us.
Dean Sharp is with us. He's on every Saturday from
six am to eight am and then Sunday nine am
till noon. Very very popular weekend show here on KFI.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
It's Conway Show.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyan from KFI
AM six forty Dean, what.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Is the piece of equipment?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And I forgot the name that you told me about
because I went through this today and I go through
it every day, especially in the winter. I leave the
water running until and sometimes it's two, three, four five
minutes until the hot water gets there. How can I
solve that? And what's the piece of equipment you recommend? Oh,
you're talking about a bridge valve. That's it.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
It's called the bridge valve and that works in combination
with a little recirculation pump that you can either mount
underneath the sink in question, or you can put it
back by the water heater if you want to run
the wiring between the two. But a bridge valve ten
perture sensitive bridge valve. It basically mounts outside the wall.
You don't have to tear up your wall or anything
(19:20):
like that. You go from the hot water to the
cold water. It bridges those two together, and then the
water continues up to the faucet. And what that does
is when the bridge valve detects on the hot water
side that that hot water has cooled off, like it's
gotten just kind of cold or lukewarm, then it calls
(19:41):
for the recirculating pump to turn on. The pump pushes
new hot water down that line, but instead of it
all going down the drain, which is what we're all
doing to the tune of billions of gallons of water
every year, it's pushing the hot water or the I
should say, the lukewarm water into the cold water side,
so the water stays in your house.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
You know, that's great.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Water, that's great, and that now I understand, now that
you've explained it, now I understand how it works. It's
recirculating through it's using both lines.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
It's using both lines.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Yeah, and so it doesn't really recirculate exactly. I mean,
when we when we plumb a house at the beginning, uh,
and somebody wants a recirculating hot water system, we avoid
all this by just making the whole hot water system
in a big loop that heads back to the water heater.
And that's just constantly moving. But this is for people,
this for everybody else, for normal folks, normal homes. You
(20:36):
don't have a recirculating circuit built in your Your plumbing
system looks more like a tree, you know, with branches
branching out. And what you do though the sink for
not the most important sink, but the sink furthest away
from the hot water heater. That's where you want to
put the bridge valve, because as it draws hot water
to it, then hot water will get closer to all
(20:58):
the other sinks by default. Oh that's great, that's that
is great.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
What percentage of people who install who you've installed showers for,
ask you to remove the governor from the shower head of.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
All that? Right?
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Wow, I don't want anyone listening from the city right now.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
And how do you do?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
You put a dry wall screw into it and then
pull it out and explain how it's.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Done on the air.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I'm gonna get soon.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
All I'm gonna tell.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
You is that, uh, that thing has there's a something,
there's a thing in there, right and it's not there anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
The water will flow. I don't know anybody who hasn't
pulled that out of there. I mean, well, you know,
I bought it. I bought a shower head for my
wife about a month ago. And I'm not gonna say
what store this was. But the guy when I was
checking it out, he said, hey, do you want me
pull the governor out of there for you? Oh my gosh,
(22:03):
at the star the guy who's willing to do.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
It, you know, Okay, well, hey, you know what, Hey,
you know what. That's how I know I'm in a
different state. By the way, when I'm traveling, okay, like
a hotel in a different state and you got you
expect you just you know, you expect to go in
there and just have it dribble out and all of
a sudden it's just gushy.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
I'm like, oh my gosh, I mean Colorado.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
One of the great things about you're right, being outside
of the state of California is when you get to
your room in your hotel, the water pressure in the
shower is like Niagara falls.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
And so by the way, so everybody who was listening
and thinking, wait, you can't pull that out, they they
designed that thing with it.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
No, they didn't.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
They designed this, this shower head to be sold nationwide
across the planet. Only in California and states like it
do we shove restrictors in them because of you know,
water regulation. So the restrict is a it's an afterthought always,
which always means that, you know, we could it could
disappear one night. Yeah, it's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I do like the you know. Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
There's a lot of people that like the shower where
you can remove it, uh and there's a magnet that
holds it up and you can you know why. But
I'm old school. I like just one simple shower head
there and you know, and that's that's my life.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Yeah, I like you you know what, here's I have.
I do really love a rain head shower head.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
So I gotta say those are nice. But if you
were to ask me, Dean, if you had to be
stranded on a desert island with one shower head, right,
uh uh, it would be a speakman style shower head.
Speaker down. You guys have all seen it. You've all
seen it's kind of a conical shower head. And what
it's got on the side, It doesn't have one of
(23:44):
those funky dials that purports to give you eight different
types of stream, because let's face it, you never know there,
you know, seven out of eight of them are just crap,
and you'll, you know, just find the one that works
for you. But a Speakman shower head does have an
adjustable spray. It's got a big old on one side, okay,
And as you do that lever, the center moves in
and out and it slightly adjusts the spray. But it
(24:07):
is possibly the world's most reliable, dependable, and and and
just quality showerhead now that it was a brand and
a lot of different to almost every major manufacturer now
of showerheads has a Speakman styles. Okay, that's how much
the brand has had an effect on the industry.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
All right, So this weekend, what are we looking forward
to on the show?
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Well, this tomorrow it's all calls as always for Saturday,
so everybody gets to set the agenda. Sunday show, we're
talking about bathroom remodels. But I got to tell our
LA listeners that I am preempted in LA on Sunday

me live on Sunday. You get to listen to the Chargers, right,
But we are doing the show it's going to be
(24:50):
live in San Diego, and the second we go off
the air, as always, the podcast will be there and
everybody can listen to the show on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Oh that's great, excellent, Okay, I will be there by
shit coming on, will latch catch you this weekend?
Speaker 2 (25:02):

Speaker 1 (25:03):
All right, thanks man, Dean Sharp, everybody man. That guy's great,
very popular. Two segments we do every single week right

all got to find that out because I gotta call that.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
What. Uh So, what are your hours on Sunday? Forgive
me that.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I'm two to four pm. Four Okay, great time slot
unless preempted by Chargers games right and three and Oh,
looks like we're gonna have a pretty good season here.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Are you gonna be preempted this week? No, I'll be
here this week. So so I'll be there games at
kickoffs at ten. So I think that be way east
coast somewhere. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I'd have to look it up. KTLA is still kicking, ass,
I think.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
So.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
You know, it's been uh, it's it's been the it's
been the honor of my life, really, Tim.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, why are you winking?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
No, it's really good. I mean I get to kind
of do whatever I want, which is like, you know
how rare that is in this business, where like you
actually have your own lane and you can make the
decisions about what you're covering and what you're talking about.
I I have always found that I I kind of
felt like a make a Wish kid, where like I
don't know how I ended up in this, in this position.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It really is awesome, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I Mean it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I felt the same way when I started here. I
felt like, you know, Dick Clark was going to come
in and go, we're just kidding, yeah, you know, you know,
Blooper's Show or something but so you're on KTLA is
the most popular morning news show, maybe in America, but
it certainly is here in not.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
I think it's the number one news morning news show
in America.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah, and and KFI the number one talk station. And
some people say in America, and you got both, I
got yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
I know. I'm like the law Brothers in between those
two trucks. You know, I got my one leg on
one truck, one leg on the other truck, and we're
just seeing where it goes. I love it. And you
know what is amazing is that it doesn't feel like work.
And I mean that's the best part about this is
like I always had the dream of making it in
some kind of form of media good and I have
(27:26):
been employed one day. Well, with your blessing, I'm looking
for it. But no, it's amazing because you know, you
get to come into this building or go into that building,
and sometimes you can have that moment of out of
your own head and think, man, this is so cool.
But I got to tell you, I am so sick
of hearing my own voice.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Really.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yes, I was just talking to Brigitta about this. I
was like, you know, there's a lot of me that
I'm that I'm thinking about and talking about all the time,
and I you know.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Could get over that.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Okay, good, Yeah, before we get into what's going on,
the big story obviously is the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Oh yeah, you didn't grow up a Dodger fan.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Well, the Indianapolis Indians, right, you never heard of him
for a good reason. So it wasn't hard for me
to become a Dodger fan when I came.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Were you a Notre Dame fan?
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yes? Yeah, sure, I mean that they were Notre Dame
was a little further away and has a little less
representation in Indianapolis than like an IU or a producer.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah yeah, yeah, so yeah, we were Hoosiers for sure.
But big basketball, I mean that huge basket like Bobby Knight. Yeah,
you know, I grew up with knowing that the guy
who was our hero had a terrible anger issue.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Sure, through chairs, through those chairs.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Yeah, can you imagine if people did that today.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It's amazing that he only did that once and it
was caught on video, and every time you think of him,
you see him finding that chair somebody.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I mean, it's it's like wrestling. It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
He was great.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Ye, what's on the big show to night Bub.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
We've got in from O Kelly tonight from seven to ten.
We're talking to Jack Primavera, who works on the Voice.
That's a TV show. They're coming back pretty soon. We're
talking about the state of music in l A. Things
are tough out there for musicians. Yeah, and also at
eight thirty, you're gonna love this Glenn Walker.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Glenn Walker, the actual Glen Walker will be calling.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
You know.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
I couldn't get him to come all the way down here.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I like Walker. I text him all the time and
he's great.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yeah, And thank you for taking such good care of
his mom.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
You got it.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Glenn Walker's mom lived about two blocks from me. And
I said to Glenn one day, I said, hey, if
you're if you're on the air and there's an emergency
and your mom ever needs anything, I live.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I can walk there in two minutes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
And and I and I and I said that just
as the empty promise that it.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Should have been just a nice thing to say.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Okay, it cost me all the time.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Hey, my mom's out of milk, my mom's car is
not starting.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
You know, well, you're you're really cold, you know, he's
he doesn't trust everybody, so that's a big deal. I
also remember when.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
I'm thinking about moving, Oh, you gotta to get away
from Walker's mom.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
So you know, I think one time you said he's
the only good one over there at KTLA.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Anymore.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
I heard that live. I was like, Sarah, I may
have said that before you got no I remember. That's great,
all right, Well.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
That's you know, that's it's proof that you can't you know,
you always listen to radio and and expect, you know,
nice things all the time. Buddy, I'm glad you're here
on the station, and it's great. I think it's a
great career move as well, because physically this, you know,
there's not even close. But it's more difficult in Los
Angeles to get a radio talk show than it is
(30:37):
to be on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hey, not physically,
but there were fewer talk radio talk shows in LA
than there are people who play for the Dodger.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
That is huge. I will I will think about that forever.
The compensation slightly different, a lot different. Yeah, it's wildly different.
But I'll tell you what, in terms of I don't
need to be on the Dodgers I could be not
I could be Mike Trout. Yeah yeah, I'm okay being
in that as our talk show hosts go, yeah, I
just want to come in and do the thing, feel
good about it, and go home.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Perfect, all right.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
In Formo Kelly tonight, Andy Reesemeyer until ten o'clock tonight.
Thank nice to see it. Thank you good to see it.
