Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. This super
Bowl weekend coming up, that's a big event. Everyone gets together,
everybody watches the game. They're toying with the idea of
changing it to Super Bowl Saturday in the future because
everybody's hungover on Monday. Nobody wants to go to work
(00:23):
on Monday after the big super Bowl, especially in the
two cities that have the one of the teams. You know,
this year it's Philadelphia and Kansas City, So people are
gonna be flying from Philadelphia to New Orleans, from Kansas
City to New Orleans, and they don't want to fly
back on Sunday night and then have to work on Monday.
So if the Super Bowl is on a Saturday, they
(00:46):
could spend the next day trying to get home, you know,
trying to get trying to get unhungover and get back
to your house enjoy yourself. So it's a big event,
really big event. I love Super Bowl Sunday. It makes
it much better when the Rams are in it. They're
not in it. This year, there were one pass away
(01:07):
from being in it. They would have beaten Philadelphia. If
on their last drive there, that would have been cool.
Then they would have rolled over Washington and they would
have been in the Super Bowl. But they came up
a little short, just a little short. Maybe next year, maybe,
I don't know, it's possible, that's possible. All right, Let's
(01:28):
get into Orange County. We never want to forget Orange
County and talk about the Orange County LA wild The
wildfires are shining a light on the high risk communities
in Orange County. Let's find out if you live in
a high risk Orange County community.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Tens of thousands of Southern California homes have been built
over the last few decades in high fire risk areas
nestled in the hills and canyons known as the Wildland
Urban Interface. Orange County has seen some of the largest growth,
with one in five residences constructed on the edge of nature.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
They're going we can do is actually just making sure
that these homes, you know, are are built in a
way that they're going to withstand these these hazards. Now,
as we saw on the news with the buyers in LA.
You know, if mother nature, you know, kicks in with
those strong winds, we need to be prepared for that.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Between the nineties and twenty twenty, new neighborhoods popped up
in parts of Orange County where people had never lived before,
closer to open space and wildlife.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Of the two forty one up there in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Bringing with it an increased risk of fire. Development in
Tustin Ranch ballooned. There were just nine homes in the
Wildland Urban Interface in nineteen ninety, and in twenty twenty
there were more than thirty one hundred homes.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
There were nine back in the nineties. Now there's thirty
one homes in that high danger.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Area in Irvine's Orchard Hills.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
In Tustin, Tustin Airy, Tustin Range.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
In Irvine's Orchard Hills, what began with three homes increased
to nearly four hundred over three decades. Off of pch
in Newport Beach, there were several dozen houses in Crystal
Cove in nineteen ninety, and by twenty twenty the number
jumped to nearly forty five hundred.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And in South Orange County, Ladera Ranch has grown.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
All beautiful area Ladera Range. Man, if you live out there,
your style and dude style man, you made it, and in.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
South Orange County, Ladera Ranch has grown from two hundred
and twenty two homes to more than twelve thousand.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Didn't really consider fires at the time, but now, yeah,
definitely do.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Tina Ruiz bought in Ladera ran Oh from Gilligan's Island.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Huh is that the same lady.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Tina Ruiz bought in Ladera Ranch close to several wilderness areas.
The destruction she's seen in La County worries her.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I definitely am concern every time that it's Santana's it's hot.
I definitely think about the canyons behind us and the
potential embers that can blow over on this end.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
New developments are built with safety in mind and with
clear fire breaks, but building in the wildland urban interface
does come with the risk. Close to one hundred thousand
homes in Orange County face a strong likelihood of wildfire
within the next thirty years, according to data from the
Climate Risk Assessment nonprofit First Street Foundation.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, a lot of homes, A lot of homes. You
got to protect those homes.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
A livery ranch.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Michelle Geey County Michelle gilly Oh a beautiful reporter all right,
Michelle Jilly. NCAA has changed how they're going to allow
certain people play on certain teams. Guys have to play
on guys teams and gals on gals. Sorry, I know
it sounds like nineteen seventy eight, but rules have changed,
(04:56):
rules have changed.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
New executive order this afternoon banning transgender athletes from participating
in women's sports. The signing ceremony featured athletes and coaches
who support the order in children. The White House is
demanding organizations like the NCAA change their rules to comply
or lose funding. Critics say the order will only lead
to increased discrimination and harassment, and.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
It goes to a bigger picture of not just impacting sports,
but really impacting and thinking about trying to legislate away
the trans community. And sports has just been the entry
point to other areas of discrimination against our community.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
The ACLU is already suing the Trump administration over a
different executive order blocking gender I forming care for miners.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
There you go. Well, we'll see what happens. We'll see
what happens. It's going to slide its way through the courts.
All right, welcome back, Dean Sharp, will be well us
we'll take an early break here so we can spend
as a bunch of time as we can with Dean
Sharp the House Whisper, and we'll come back and chat
with him. We're live on KFI the Thursday before Super
Bowl Sunday. Very exciting and it's raining. It is pouring outside,
(06:04):
so Crozier. You're looking at about three hours to get home.
Good luck and belly belly. I just did your ride
on ways. You're four hours and twenty minutes from home. Sorry,
oh no, nine hours nine hours from home. Sorry, sorry,
sorry it didn't work out for you.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
You're listening to Tim Conwaytunire on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Dean Sharp the House Whisper is with us. He's on
every Saturday from six am to eight am I think,
and then Sunday nine am to noon. The house was
for Dean Sharp. How you bob a better now that
I'm here with you, my love, buddy, you are the best.
When you were not on last week, the show just
(06:49):
didn't seem the same. I'm sorry about that. What oh
he was on?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Oh? Sorry?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, So Dean, you know I noticed this in home
deep on. I want to ask you about it because
you probably know, but man, I noticed that shortly after
the fires that Home Depot had hundreds of generators, hundreds
of air purifiers, and those those dams you know, those
(07:15):
dams that you that instantly inflate when they get wet.
They had hundreds of those as well. Did they pre
order that stuff? How did they get all that stuff
into their stores so quickly, you know, for people to
use and maybe save lives. It was, it was amazing.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
Well, you know what, I think what happens is they've
actually got most of this stuff in their major distribution
warehouses already sitting. And then what happens is, you know,
something like a disaster hits. In the first forty eight hours,
all the local stores run out, and then they just
turn it around and they keep trying to pump it
in and then that last big shipment, of course it
(07:53):
kind of falls flat because people are done, and now
now they've got an overstock.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, you know what, I don't know what it is
about Home Depot and Lows. I don't know if it's
the smell. I don't know if it's maybe you know,
I like that it's a masculine place to go, but man,
when I walk in there. I just feel there's a
I get a rush when I go into those places.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
I think they intend that. You also noticed big boxes
like that like Low's Home Depot Costco, no windows. They
build them like casinos my from Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
No Time.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's just a giant party. That's great.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I wish they would do this though. I wish Low's
would you get to get to get together with Home
Deep on Home Deepot with Lows because I have to
stop and remember which store I'm in and which aisles
to go to and where products are. I wish they
would put them and make them uniform.
Speaker 9 (08:42):
We actually, you know, out here in Thousand Oaks, the
Home Depot and Low's can actually almost see each other.
I mean they're literally like a stone's throw away from
each other. Oh that's but yeah, it's the thing. Low's
has actually been around, by the way, a lot of
people think Low's is like the new kid on the block.
Low's has been around like fifty years longer than Home Depot.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I know a couple of people that work for Low's.
I know the guy Oscar who runs the one here
in Burbank, and man, every single person without exception who
either works at Low's or Home Depot. They seem to
be upbeat. I never run into a depressed guy who
hates his job.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Never.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Okay, well you have clearly not spend enough time there.
But but yeah, you know, they think it pretty well.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
Especially Lows. I always say this. I tell people that
they're like, which one should I go to? Like, right now,
home Depot is skewing more towards the contracting building material
side of things, but go to Low's if you're looking
for more designer stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
But I think that's sort of been the rule of
thumb for a while, where you know, Low's, you go
to Home Depot to build a house, and you go
to Low's to decorate it, yep, yep, yeah, and and
they have sweet deals. We went to our our clothes
washer went on the fritz for the third time, and
I don't want to spend you know, another four hundred
dollars to repair it, so we got another one. I
(10:00):
went to Lowe's and I said, hey, you know, I
know you're busy. You guys got the you know, the
fires are going on, and the store has packed and everything.
I said, if we bought a dryer here, how soon
can we have it delivered? Are we two or three
weeks out? And this is on a Friday night, right Friday,
round four or five, six pm? Or no, it had
be after work, so seven pm, seven thirty. And he
said no, no, he goes, I can get it to you
tomorrow afternoon. That's great, that's insatial, that's unbelievable. It's already there.
(10:25):
It's already there. That's already now, that's real because we've
just delivered it. Or come here, you can use it
in the store, bring your clothes, throw it right in
the store here. Hey, whatever reminds me, I've got a call.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
I have my dryer right now is squealing like a
dead Portard animal is inside it, and I gotta I
gotta get that.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It's usually my experience with a dryer that's squeaking like
that is a nickel, a dime or quarter got into
the drum and it's, uh, you know, stuck. I had
to pull one of those apart for you know, a dime.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
That's a good thought. I'm gonna write that to ask
you for more home advice. Hey, all right, so let's
talk about the water usage. I'm very proud of everybody
here in southern California. We listen when they said stop
using water, and we have an unbelievable achievement to announce.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Oh my gosh, I am so with you on that.
I mean, do you remember we're gonna.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Find you if you water your lawn on.
Speaker 9 (11:21):
The wrong day, tear out your lawn, We're all gonna die.
And now very quietly, all of a sudden, Oh, by
the way, per person, water usage in southern California has
dropped to its lowest in.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Thirty five years. That's great, man, you know what. I
love the fact that we listened and enough of us
started to save water. And with thirty thirty five years
is a long period of time. It's a lifetime for
a lot of people.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
It is, it is, and we're doing we're just doing
really well and people are taking the right steps. And
you know, it really comes down on the home level
to drip irrigation, watering smart right instead of getting rid
of it and get rid of the above ground sprinklers
as much as possible. And then in your house, so
many people have installed these bridge valves and recirculation pumps
(12:09):
to bring hot water to the furthest point away from
the water heater, so that We're not just turning on
the tap and running that two or three minutes of
water right down the drain, you know, waiting for the
water to get hot. That literally amounts to billions of
gallons of water every year in the La Basin.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Without incriminating you, you don't have to say yes or no.
I'll just get a vibe for your reaction after I
ask you this question, did you in your shower use
a drill and pull the governor pin out of the
shower heads? There it is, I did the same thing.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
You know what, Tina will get on my case because
occasionally I am tempted, like when we travel to bring
a small wrench with me.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Actually the hotel shower. It's a little bit. And you
know what you do is I don't want to tell
people how to do it. Maybe I do you take
a you take a screw, screw it in there and
then with pliers to pull that screw out and it
comes out with it. Yeah, there are there are ways.
That's great though, that's awesome that you're doing. You're doing
(13:22):
construction and you know and in a you know, in
a share it and trying to get more water pressure.
I work hard. I work I get it.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
I've worked construction so many years. When it's time to
get in the shower, you know, I don't want somebody
missing me with a spray bottle.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Okay, real quick, I got one question. Krozier's going to
use this over the weekend. I saw it on YouTube
the other day, that instant foam that replaces cement when
you when you put in footings. Have you had any
experience with that? Does it work? Are there any downsides?
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Okay, so the instant foam you mean when we're putting
in in uh, yeah, yeah, as long as it's not structural,
as long as.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
As long as the mail boxes and stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (14:08):
And fence posts great, fantastic. Every single fence post in
the front of my house has that fence post. It's
it's made by Sika. It's brilliant. It saves you time.
It saves you hassles instead of having to like brace
them off and wait, you know, some time to and
hope that that your braces don't haven't shifted a little bit.
(14:30):
You literally just put a plum level, you know, get it,
get a five dollars, might get a five dollars you know,
fence post level, the one that you rubber band onto
the fence post. Oh yeah, yeah, well, I mean no,
I mind the last years actually, but you just it's
super cheap. It's five bucks. Strap that on there, pour
in that mix, hold it plumb for literally, like you know,
(14:55):
thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And walk wow that right? Yeah, and then assauls all
to take away the access. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Once it's done, Once it's all foamed out and hard,
that's the bet.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Don't try and clean it up while it's wet.
Speaker 9 (15:08):
Don't just let it harden and then you just come
along with the saws all at ground level and just
to chip it all away.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
It is so easy, and it's brilliant.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
And I would say this not only is it easier
as an install, but hey, concrete in a post hole
is a porous stone. It in no way water proofs
or protects the wood down in the ground. But this
stuff is water tight and so you're actually preserving that
(15:37):
fence post better with this stuff than with the concret.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Oh nice, worried about that?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I love it and it and and so you're so
you don't necessarily have to use treated lumber then if
it's going to protect it, you should, though you should go.
When it comes to the posts, you should.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
You can cover them up with decorative stuff, but all
you know, use pressure treated for the post.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Uh a super Bowl any plans. We're going to be here.
We're going to be here. We got some people coming
over and it's gonna be a great game. Great son,
But I love having you on. We get such great feedback.
We'll have you on next week. If you're around, I
shall be You're the best. All right, say hi to Tina. Thanks.
All right, there he goes Dean sharp whisper. Yeah, I'm
(16:22):
I'm more comfortable now using that You using that stuff
tomorrow after we talk.
Speaker 10 (16:26):
I'm actually looking forward to doing.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Did you pick it up already?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Do you have a right?
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Kay?
Speaker 10 (16:30):
I already got it, got the posts, got all the planks,
got everything I need.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I love that stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I gotta I gotta touch. You know what I wonder
if it works decoratively? I mean could if you have
a crack and your pavement in front on a walkway,
probably should go a cement.
Speaker 10 (16:44):
Well, now there's phone that you can use for that
stuff that too. Really, if it's just like a crack
in your cement, you can there's calking and stuff you
can get for that stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
But there's a section like eight inches by twelve inches
that are missing. Yeah, I know, I measured it. We
had a whole piece of Where the hell it went?
I walked outside and I was like, I said, Jenn,
I said, where's the piece. There's a piece of concrete
missing from her walkway. And she's like, what would you
think I took it? I said, no, I'm not blaming you,
but you take the concrete. I'm like, have you noticed this?
(17:14):
I mean, you know, there's a piece of our lives
are missing in this thing. And then she's like, what's
going on with you? What's going on with you?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
You got to take video of that crozier you on
the seeow that that operates. Yeah, was expensive.
Speaker 10 (17:27):
No, it's like fifteen bucks.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Real, that's what I spent on that forty you know,
forty pound bag of cement that broke my bag.
Speaker 10 (17:35):
Yeah, exactly, I got to use that stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
We're live on KFI Dean Sharp the House Whisper Saturday morning,
Sunday morning right here on KFI. Very very popular show
on KFI. We get a lot of feedback from Dean
Sharp in the House whisper.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Lots of rain in the valley. I just looked outside.
It's pouring in Burbank, boring in Burbank. Let me tell
you a quick story. This has nothing to do with news.
I just I want to I want to tell this story.
And I think it's out of jealousy. Gotta be, gotta be.
(18:17):
I have a friend, a guy named Oscar who is
the manager, one of the managers at Lowe's in Burbank,
and I see him there. I go there, I don't know,
maybe twice a week, and every time I see him,
we have a ten to fifteen minute discussion. And I
don't know whether he's first generation, second generation American, he's Hispanic.
(18:41):
And he told me how he grew up in City Terrace,
which is near the seven to ten and the ten Freeway,
and his mom is still living in the house that
I think he grew up in, or he was very
young when he moved to that house, and he ended
(19:01):
up saving money, saving saving sold his house at the
right time during the last recession in downturn, got out
before he got stung.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I did the opposite.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I got stung, and he made enough money where he
could buy the house that's literally two doors down from
where his mother lives in City Terrace. And then his
sister got a phone call from the neighbor saying, Hey,
(19:35):
my dad's selling his house. We'd love to keep this
area in the family. We'd love to keep it in
the family. We'd like to offer this home first to
people who we know, people who lived here for a
long time. We know your mom, We've known her for
forty five years. And his sister jumped at the offer
(19:56):
and bought the house next to her mom's, so mom's
house next door as the sister then a house that
they don't own, and then Oscar's house. And then two
years later, Oscar's brother was looking for a house, and
the same thing happened, where the guy who owned that
home wanted to keep it in that area and keep
(20:20):
the people in that area and let them expand their
families and their living footprint, and offered it to the
brother at a good price, you know, at a regional price,
market price, and the brother bought it. So now the
mom owns a home next to the sister, next to
the brother, next to my buddy Oscar. I am so
(20:45):
efing jealous of that, and I think that comes from
when you come to this country. I think you find
a neighborhood, whether you're Armenian or Italian, African, American, Asian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese,
(21:06):
South American, European, we got it, we got it.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Oh sorry.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I think when you when you come to this country,
you you find an area where people have your values
in common, your sensibility is in common. You feel more
at home around people you know, people who are like you,
(21:32):
people who are family, who are relatives. And I think
after you know, because our family has been in this
country for well, my i'm I guess I'm I'm the
I'm the second generation American from Ireland. My grandfather's from Ireland,
my grandmother's from Romania, and my other side of the family,
(21:55):
they're from Ireland, and my mom and dad were first
generation American. My mom may have been second generation. I
have to find that out. My dad was first generation American.
I'm second generation, and I think as you get more
generations behind you, I think you lose that connection. You
(22:19):
become American and you don't identify as anything else. I
never call myself Irish American at all. It sounds odd.
I've just never never done that in my life. But
I think when you know you've been here for two, three,
four or five generations, I think you lose that. I
think you know you wander off and you move into
(22:39):
neighborhoods where you don't know anybody, the melting pot. And
there's nothing wrong with that. But man, I am so
jealous of people who have a neighborhood where the mom
lives there, the brother, the uncle, the aunt, and everybody
knows each other. That is a great way to go
(23:00):
through life. A great way to go through life. I
know there are certain instances where that could be a
pain in the ass. You know, Mom's always coming by,
or your uncle always pops by when he's buzzed.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
But in New Jersey, where my stepmother is from, they're
all first and second generation from Italy, and everybody on
that block is Italian. Everybody on that four or five
block area all Italian, and everybody has the same values.
All the kids go to the same schools. The kids
(23:38):
end up, you know, marrying the sons or daughters of friends,
and they stick around that neighborhood. And they bring up kids,
and those kids go to the same schools, and everybody
has a pot on on Sunday. Everybody has sauce on
Sunday and meatballs and sausage and pizza and all that
great Italian food. And I am so jealous of that.
(23:59):
We got experience that on Christmas. We go there for
Christmas and literally we're there for five days and every
day was a homemade, seven chorus, beautiful meal that smelled
like the top restaurant in New York. And I am
so jealous of that. Community of people are that close.
So if you have that in your life, where you
(24:22):
live next to mom or dad or Grandma, Grandpa, uncle
Ann's neighbors or cousins, hold on to that. Hold on
to that. Don't let that go. It might be rough sometimes,
but in the long run, that's a beautiful way to
go through life.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Just great.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Petros papadekas Is with us Petros. How are you, Bob?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Hello? Tim?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
How are you buddy? Look? I love when you're on
the show, and I love that somebody stole my jacket.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
You know what? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I don't understand that for the life I.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Wore a nice stylish jacket there today, not unlike the
one Rob Polenka war a little different. I'm in the
big press conference with uh, with Luka Doncic, right, and
I uh, I wore it today and now no one
can find it. And I didn't go anywhere. You know that,
I don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
By the way, is Luca. I heard Luka Danchid's son
is going to play for the Lakers. Is that true?
Speaker 4 (25:32):
No? No, I don't even know if he has kids. No,
a slov A Slovene kid is not.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I heard on some radio station he people referred to
him as a vodka drenched vapor.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yes, I did hear that about him? Yeah, Well, you
know there's I mean, he's a once in a generation
type of talent. There's got to be a reason that
Dallas let him go, right.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Right, Well, he was looking at a super max contract,
wasn't he.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Well, I guess yeah, but now he can't get that,
so Dallas letting him go. It's led to some great bitterness,
There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
And it cost him up to one hundred and fifty
million bucks.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
I guess. I mean, what do I look like a lawyer?
What do you want for that?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I don't think anyone stole your jacket.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Anyone has the same taste that you do in jacket.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Was a cool jacket, though, and it's gone, and I'm
very concerned about it.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I think you dropped Matt might take Did you take it?
Did you walk down the stairs tonight to get down
of here?
Speaker 4 (26:27):
No? I took the service elevator.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Maybe it's in the service elevator.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I took the elevator that they used for hookers in
a hotel.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Okay, well, maybe that's where it is. What the hell
is it raining out in Sampire?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
You're talking about like having families live together, and I
love that.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
But you had that growing up? You still do? Yeah, dude,
it's great.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Yeah, okay, all right. Look, the cops came to my
house like six times when I was in high school.
It's not that great.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Is it raining in sam Pedro?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Is it raining out there? Yeah, it's it's a light.
I'm not I'm not. I'm live in Palace Verdes. Okay,
that's a moot. Point.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Is that an insult?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
No? I missed living in San Pedro, though, I like
living here.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
What's the best restaurant in San Pedro right now?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Yes, the hottest restaurant in San Pedro is called Traine's
Dock Side Station. I'm glad you asked. Uh. It's run
by Dustin Training of the illicit, the great Trainey family. Uh.
They have another restaurant on Ninth Street, Trainees trainees A
and I A S. And what kind of food? People
say trainees And that's not it's not do them well,
(27:32):
it's just the pronunciation, you.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Know, it's right, right, like transmissions correct, like short for
transmission in your car?
Speaker 4 (27:39):
What?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
What kind of food?
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Italian? The new one, the hottest one is called Traine's
Dock Side Station, not Tranny's Talks right, No, it's it's
it's actually at the in the fish docks in San
Pedro rezoned. Uh. And what what Dustin Trainey was able
to do? Is that used to be the Ellis Island,
like the checkpoint for immigrants coming in from the West
(28:04):
coast Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Is the vagabond still there?
Speaker 4 (28:07):
The vagabond end on? Uh? I believe on harbor. Yes, yeah,
that's a great place to kill yourself. When I was
and the Samoan Hotel right under the Vincent Thomas Bridge.
Both great places to end it all. When I was
actually the Sea Sprite Hotel in Hermosa Beach, those are
my top.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I was in sixth grade in elementary school in the valley,
and our senior trip for sixth grade before we went
on the seventh was a night at the Vagabond Hotel
and then whale watching the next day.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Pretty sweet, really well, it was a different time. Yeah,
it was sweet but right, it's right, but buttressed up
against a real nice, large project.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yes, and it was. It was six guys in one room.
You know, when you're in sixth grade you can load
them up. Oh yeah, it was great. I mean that
your parts, buddy. I know that you have, you know,
really interested in sports. But since we have you had
talked about do you have any idea who's gonna win?
I really need the release on Sunday? Oh any idea?
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Yeah? I think the Chiefs will win. You do. Yeah,
And you know, I hate like the comparison stuff of sports,
like oh, this guy's this, and if this guy does this,
he's better than this guy, and this guy's the all
time goat, and then this guy's the other goat, and
this guy's a goat, but he hip checked a woman
off a balcony, so we can't call him to go.
You know, all of these different things that we argue
about in the world of sports. I do think one
(29:32):
thing is pretty valid, and I've heard it from a
lot of people, including my radio partner, you know, Patrick Mahomes.
In this era, and even though it's very different, football
is the circumstance of football is so drastically different. But
Mahomes really does kind of seem like or just the
Chiefs with the Mahomes and Andy Reid connection and all that.
It feels like just not being able to beat Michael Jordan. Okay,
(29:54):
you know, like how there's all these teams, they're all
really good, they all deserve great credit for being really,
really a beautiful pro football teams, but they just can't
get over the hump and beat the Chiefs when they
get into that type of game. But it is very interesting,
like the Patriots of the last dynasty in the NFL,
the Chiefs have changed their identity through the time that
(30:19):
they've been dominant. Like when they were first starting, it
was like a pinball game. They were very offensive. Now
they're much more of a defensive football team. They play
to their defense or the offense is and as productive.
That's for a reason. And you know when Tom Brady started,
he was like a game manager, taken over for Drew Bledsoe.
And then he became a guy, you know, throwing for
three hundred and fifty yards a game, you know, on
(30:41):
and off throughout his career. So there's been a an evolution,
so to speak, right, And I think that's why the
Chiefs will end up winning it.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
And this is a team that also lost Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
I mean this because they've won two Super Bowls since
they let him go. Wow. Yeah, But you know, the
Saquon Barkley guy, the bowling, ball headed running, he's great.
He's a great running back, and you know, I'd love
to see him take over the game because running, I mean,
I grew up in an era where you cared as
much about who the running back was. You know, Eric Dickerson,
Walter Payton, you were before sat Quan was no, not
(31:16):
not even close. But I did grow up in an
era where the running back was on a pro football team.
You know, the guys didn't come out and they played
every down and they were. They were just as big
as the quarterback in many ways. And uh, we've really
gotten away from that with situational football and you know,
platooning guys and you know, you have five or six
guys that play in a running back room and it
(31:38):
didn't really used to be that way. So to see
a guy, you know, really showing out for that position
and dominating playoff games in the NFL a week in
and week out, and he's like a super Max type
of whatever sort of player, Uh, that's fun to see too.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
So we'll see what percentage of of NFL players smoke weed?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
You think. Oh, that's a good question. You know you
heavy religion of the NFL as well. Okay, all right,
you know what I mean. I get it.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, yeah, you got a lot of thanking God and
thanking yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Because you know you do. You want to thank God
that you didn't get your head from a canoe. Trust me,
I pray every time. Please don't let me break my neck.
But uh yeah, i'd say about sixty five percent.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Really is that high?
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Is that high? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
That's a man's high.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Did they have attended?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Did they ever misspell your name on your jersey?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
No?
Speaker 4 (32:29):
At USC we didn't have oh you didn't have names. Okay,
Now we were an actual, proper traditional program. We don't
have to you know.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
All right, we got to get out here. Buddy, I
love you coming on, but I'd love to stay. You
can stay. You can be on with mo. It's first segment.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
I don't think wants thank you up. Okay, all right,
you're the best, buddy.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
All right, there goes. That feature with Petros was brought
to you by Advanced Hair One Day treaven like changing results.
Make your appointment today Advanced haair dot Com. Tomorrow we'll
have a big, huge super Bowl show right before Super
Bowl Sunday, mo is Next and his whole crew on
KFI AM six forty Conway show on demand on the
(33:14):
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 KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. This super
Bowl weekend coming up, that's a big event. Everyone gets together,
everybody watches the game. They're toying with the idea of
changing it to Super Bowl Saturday in the future because
everybody's hungover on Monday. Nobody wants to go to work
(00:23):
on Monday after the big super Bowl, especially in the
two cities that have the one of the teams. You know,
this year it's Philadelphia and Kansas City, So people are
gonna be flying from Philadelphia to New Orleans, from Kansas
City to New Orleans, and they don't want to fly
back on Sunday night and then have to work on Monday.
So if the Super Bowl is on a Saturday, they
(00:46):
could spend the next day trying to get home, you know,
trying to get trying to get unhungover and get back
to your house enjoy yourself. So it's a big event,
really big event. I love Super Bowl Sunday. It makes
it much better when the Rams are in it. They're
not in it. This year, there were one pass away
(01:07):
from being in it. They would have beaten Philadelphia. If
on their last drive there, that would have been cool.
Then they would have rolled over Washington and they would
have been in the Super Bowl. But they came up
a little short, just a little short. Maybe next year, maybe,
I don't know, it's possible, that's possible. All right, Let's
(01:28):
get into Orange County. We never want to forget Orange
County and talk about the Orange County LA wild The
wildfires are shining a light on the high risk communities
in Orange County. Let's find out if you live in
a high risk Orange County community.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Tens of thousands of Southern California homes have been built
over the last few decades in high fire risk areas
nestled in the hills and canyons known as the Wildland
Urban Interface. Orange County has seen some of the largest growth,
with one in five residences constructed on the edge of nature.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
They're going we can do is actually just making sure
that these homes, you know, are are built in a
way that they're going to withstand these these hazards. Now,
as we saw on the news with the buyers in LA.
You know, if mother nature, you know, kicks in with
those strong winds, we need to be prepared for that.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Between the nineties and twenty twenty, new neighborhoods popped up
in parts of Orange County where people had never lived before,
closer to open space and wildlife.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Of the two forty one up there in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Bringing with it an increased risk of fire. Development in
Tustin Ranch ballooned. There were just nine homes in the
Wildland Urban Interface in nineteen ninety, and in twenty twenty
there were more than thirty one hundred homes.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
There were nine back in the nineties. Now there's thirty
one homes in that high danger.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Area in Irvine's Orchard Hills.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
In Tustin, Tustin Airy, Tustin Range.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
In Irvine's Orchard Hills, what began with three homes increased
to nearly four hundred over three decades. Off of pch
in Newport Beach, there were several dozen houses in Crystal
Cove in nineteen ninety, and by twenty twenty the number
jumped to nearly forty five hundred.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And in South Orange County, Ladera Ranch has grown.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
All beautiful area Ladera Range. Man, if you live out there,
your style and dude style man, you made it, and in.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
South Orange County, Ladera Ranch has grown from two hundred
and twenty two homes to more than twelve thousand.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Didn't really consider fires at the time, but now, yeah,
definitely do.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Tina Ruiz bought in Ladera ran Oh from Gilligan's Island.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Huh is that the same lady.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Tina Ruiz bought in Ladera Ranch close to several wilderness areas.
The destruction she's seen in La County worries her.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I definitely am concern every time that it's Santana's it's hot.
I definitely think about the canyons behind us and the
potential embers that can blow over on this end.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
New developments are built with safety in mind and with
clear fire breaks, but building in the wildland urban interface
does come with the risk. Close to one hundred thousand
homes in Orange County face a strong likelihood of wildfire
within the next thirty years, according to data from the
Climate Risk Assessment nonprofit First Street Foundation.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, a lot of homes, A lot of homes. You
got to protect those homes.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
A livery ranch.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Michelle Geey County Michelle gilly Oh a beautiful reporter all right,
Michelle Jilly. NCAA has changed how they're going to allow
certain people play on certain teams. Guys have to play
on guys teams and gals on gals. Sorry, I know
it sounds like nineteen seventy eight, but rules have changed,
(04:56):
rules have changed.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
New executive order this afternoon banning transgender athletes from participating
in women's sports. The signing ceremony featured athletes and coaches
who support the order in children. The White House is
demanding organizations like the NCAA change their rules to comply
or lose funding. Critics say the order will only lead
to increased discrimination and harassment, and.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
It goes to a bigger picture of not just impacting sports,
but really impacting and thinking about trying to legislate away
the trans community. And sports has just been the entry
point to other areas of discrimination against our community.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
The ACLU is already suing the Trump administration over a
different executive order blocking gender I forming care for miners.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
There you go. Well, we'll see what happens. We'll see
what happens. It's going to slide its way through the courts.
All right, welcome back, Dean Sharp, will be well us
we'll take an early break here so we can spend
as a bunch of time as we can with Dean
Sharp the House Whisper, and we'll come back and chat
with him. We're live on KFI the Thursday before Super
Bowl Sunday. Very exciting and it's raining. It is pouring outside,
(06:04):
so Crozier. You're looking at about three hours to get home.
Good luck and belly belly. I just did your ride
on ways. You're four hours and twenty minutes from home. Sorry,
oh no, nine hours nine hours from home. Sorry, sorry,
sorry it didn't work out for you.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
You're listening to Tim Conwaytunire on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Dean Sharp the House Whisper is with us. He's on
every Saturday from six am to eight am I think,
and then Sunday nine am to noon. The house was
for Dean Sharp. How you bob a better now that
I'm here with you, my love, buddy, you are the best.
When you were not on last week, the show just
(06:49):
didn't seem the same. I'm sorry about that. What oh
he was on?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Oh? Sorry?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, So Dean, you know I noticed this in home
deep on. I want to ask you about it because
you probably know, but man, I noticed that shortly after
the fires that Home Depot had hundreds of generators, hundreds
of air purifiers, and those those dams you know, those
(07:15):
dams that you that instantly inflate when they get wet.
They had hundreds of those as well. Did they pre
order that stuff? How did they get all that stuff
into their stores so quickly, you know, for people to
use and maybe save lives. It was, it was amazing.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
Well, you know what, I think what happens is they've
actually got most of this stuff in their major distribution
warehouses already sitting. And then what happens is, you know,
something like a disaster hits. In the first forty eight hours,
all the local stores run out, and then they just
turn it around and they keep trying to pump it
in and then that last big shipment, of course it
(07:53):
kind of falls flat because people are done, and now
now they've got an overstock.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, you know what, I don't know what it is
about Home Depot and Lows. I don't know if it's
the smell. I don't know if it's maybe you know,
I like that it's a masculine place to go, but man,
when I walk in there. I just feel there's a
I get a rush when I go into those places.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
I think they intend that. You also noticed big boxes
like that like Low's Home Depot Costco, no windows. They
build them like casinos my from Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
No Time.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's just a giant party. That's great.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I wish they would do this though. I wish Low's
would you get to get to get together with Home
Deep on Home Deepot with Lows because I have to
stop and remember which store I'm in and which aisles
to go to and where products are. I wish they
would put them and make them uniform.
Speaker 9 (08:42):
We actually, you know, out here in Thousand Oaks, the
Home Depot and Low's can actually almost see each other.
I mean they're literally like a stone's throw away from
each other. Oh that's but yeah, it's the thing. Low's
has actually been around, by the way, a lot of
people think Low's is like the new kid on the block.
Low's has been around like fifty years longer than Home Depot.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I know a couple of people that work for Low's.
I know the guy Oscar who runs the one here
in Burbank, and man, every single person without exception who
either works at Low's or Home Depot. They seem to
be upbeat. I never run into a depressed guy who
hates his job.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Never.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Okay, well you have clearly not spend enough time there.
But but yeah, you know, they think it pretty well.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
Especially Lows. I always say this. I tell people that
they're like, which one should I go to? Like, right now,
home Depot is skewing more towards the contracting building material
side of things, but go to Low's if you're looking
for more designer stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
But I think that's sort of been the rule of
thumb for a while, where you know, Low's, you go
to Home Depot to build a house, and you go
to Low's to decorate it, yep, yep, yeah, and and
they have sweet deals. We went to our our clothes
washer went on the fritz for the third time, and
I don't want to spend you know, another four hundred
dollars to repair it, so we got another one. I
(10:00):
went to Lowe's and I said, hey, you know, I
know you're busy. You guys got the you know, the
fires are going on, and the store has packed and everything.
I said, if we bought a dryer here, how soon
can we have it delivered? Are we two or three
weeks out? And this is on a Friday night, right Friday,
round four or five, six pm? Or no, it had
be after work, so seven pm, seven thirty. And he
said no, no, he goes, I can get it to you
tomorrow afternoon. That's great, that's insatial, that's unbelievable. It's already there.
(10:25):
It's already there. That's already now, that's real because we've
just delivered it. Or come here, you can use it
in the store, bring your clothes, throw it right in
the store here. Hey, whatever reminds me, I've got a call.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
I have my dryer right now is squealing like a
dead Portard animal is inside it, and I gotta I
gotta get that.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It's usually my experience with a dryer that's squeaking like
that is a nickel, a dime or quarter got into
the drum and it's, uh, you know, stuck. I had
to pull one of those apart for you know, a dime.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
That's a good thought. I'm gonna write that to ask
you for more home advice. Hey, all right, so let's
talk about the water usage. I'm very proud of everybody
here in southern California. We listen when they said stop
using water, and we have an unbelievable achievement to announce.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Oh my gosh, I am so with you on that.
I mean, do you remember we're gonna.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Find you if you water your lawn on.
Speaker 9 (11:21):
The wrong day, tear out your lawn, We're all gonna die.
And now very quietly, all of a sudden, Oh, by
the way, per person, water usage in southern California has
dropped to its lowest in.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Thirty five years. That's great, man, you know what. I
love the fact that we listened and enough of us
started to save water. And with thirty thirty five years
is a long period of time. It's a lifetime for
a lot of people.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
It is, it is, and we're doing we're just doing
really well and people are taking the right steps. And
you know, it really comes down on the home level
to drip irrigation, watering smart right instead of getting rid
of it and get rid of the above ground sprinklers
as much as possible. And then in your house, so
many people have installed these bridge valves and recirculation pumps
(12:09):
to bring hot water to the furthest point away from
the water heater, so that We're not just turning on
the tap and running that two or three minutes of
water right down the drain, you know, waiting for the
water to get hot. That literally amounts to billions of
gallons of water every year in the La Basin.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Without incriminating you, you don't have to say yes or no.
I'll just get a vibe for your reaction after I
ask you this question, did you in your shower use
a drill and pull the governor pin out of the
shower heads? There it is, I did the same thing.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
You know what, Tina will get on my case because
occasionally I am tempted, like when we travel to bring
a small wrench with me.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Actually the hotel shower. It's a little bit. And you
know what you do is I don't want to tell
people how to do it. Maybe I do you take
a you take a screw, screw it in there and
then with pliers to pull that screw out and it
comes out with it. Yeah, there are there are ways.
That's great though, that's awesome that you're doing. You're doing
(13:22):
construction and you know and in a you know, in
a share it and trying to get more water pressure.
I work hard. I work I get it.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
I've worked construction so many years. When it's time to
get in the shower, you know, I don't want somebody
missing me with a spray bottle.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Okay, real quick, I got one question. Krozier's going to
use this over the weekend. I saw it on YouTube
the other day, that instant foam that replaces cement when
you when you put in footings. Have you had any
experience with that? Does it work? Are there any downsides?
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Okay, so the instant foam you mean when we're putting
in in uh, yeah, yeah, as long as it's not structural,
as long as.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
As long as the mail boxes and stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (14:08):
And fence posts great, fantastic. Every single fence post in
the front of my house has that fence post. It's
it's made by Sika. It's brilliant. It saves you time.
It saves you hassles instead of having to like brace
them off and wait, you know, some time to and
hope that that your braces don't haven't shifted a little bit.
(14:30):
You literally just put a plum level, you know, get it,
get a five dollars, might get a five dollars you know,
fence post level, the one that you rubber band onto
the fence post. Oh yeah, yeah, well, I mean no,
I mind the last years actually, but you just it's
super cheap. It's five bucks. Strap that on there, pour
in that mix, hold it plumb for literally, like you know,
(14:55):
thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And walk wow that right? Yeah, and then assauls all
to take away the access. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Once it's done, Once it's all foamed out and hard,
that's the bet.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Don't try and clean it up while it's wet.
Speaker 9 (15:08):
Don't just let it harden and then you just come
along with the saws all at ground level and just
to chip it all away.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
It is so easy, and it's brilliant.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
And I would say this not only is it easier
as an install, but hey, concrete in a post hole
is a porous stone. It in no way water proofs
or protects the wood down in the ground. But this
stuff is water tight and so you're actually preserving that
(15:37):
fence post better with this stuff than with the concret.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Oh nice, worried about that?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I love it and it and and so you're so
you don't necessarily have to use treated lumber then if
it's going to protect it, you should, though you should go.
When it comes to the posts, you should.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
You can cover them up with decorative stuff, but all
you know, use pressure treated for the post.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Uh a super Bowl any plans. We're going to be here.
We're going to be here. We got some people coming
over and it's gonna be a great game. Great son,
But I love having you on. We get such great feedback.
We'll have you on next week. If you're around, I
shall be You're the best. All right, say hi to Tina. Thanks.
All right, there he goes Dean sharp whisper. Yeah, I'm
(16:22):
I'm more comfortable now using that You using that stuff
tomorrow after we talk.
Speaker 10 (16:26):
I'm actually looking forward to doing.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Did you pick it up already?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Do you have a right?
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Kay?
Speaker 10 (16:30):
I already got it, got the posts, got all the planks,
got everything I need.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I love that stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I gotta I gotta touch. You know what I wonder
if it works decoratively? I mean could if you have
a crack and your pavement in front on a walkway,
probably should go a cement.
Speaker 10 (16:44):
Well, now there's phone that you can use for that
stuff that too. Really, if it's just like a crack
in your cement, you can there's calking and stuff you
can get for that stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
But there's a section like eight inches by twelve inches
that are missing. Yeah, I know, I measured it. We
had a whole piece of Where the hell it went?
I walked outside and I was like, I said, Jenn,
I said, where's the piece. There's a piece of concrete
missing from her walkway. And she's like, what would you
think I took it? I said, no, I'm not blaming you,
but you take the concrete. I'm like, have you noticed this?
(17:14):
I mean, you know, there's a piece of our lives
are missing in this thing. And then she's like, what's
going on with you? What's going on with you?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
You got to take video of that crozier you on
the seeow that that operates. Yeah, was expensive.
Speaker 10 (17:27):
No, it's like fifteen bucks.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Real, that's what I spent on that forty you know,
forty pound bag of cement that broke my bag.
Speaker 10 (17:35):
Yeah, exactly, I got to use that stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
We're live on KFI Dean Sharp the House Whisper Saturday morning,
Sunday morning right here on KFI. Very very popular show
on KFI. We get a lot of feedback from Dean
Sharp in the House whisper.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Lots of rain in the valley. I just looked outside.
It's pouring in Burbank, boring in Burbank. Let me tell
you a quick story. This has nothing to do with news.
I just I want to I want to tell this story.
And I think it's out of jealousy. Gotta be, gotta be.
(18:17):
I have a friend, a guy named Oscar who is
the manager, one of the managers at Lowe's in Burbank,
and I see him there. I go there, I don't know,
maybe twice a week, and every time I see him,
we have a ten to fifteen minute discussion. And I
don't know whether he's first generation, second generation American, he's Hispanic.
(18:41):
And he told me how he grew up in City Terrace,
which is near the seven to ten and the ten Freeway,
and his mom is still living in the house that
I think he grew up in, or he was very
young when he moved to that house, and he ended
(19:01):
up saving money, saving saving sold his house at the
right time during the last recession in downturn, got out
before he got stung.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I did the opposite.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I got stung, and he made enough money where he
could buy the house that's literally two doors down from
where his mother lives in City Terrace. And then his
sister got a phone call from the neighbor saying, Hey,
(19:35):
my dad's selling his house. We'd love to keep this
area in the family. We'd love to keep it in
the family. We'd like to offer this home first to
people who we know, people who lived here for a
long time. We know your mom, We've known her for
forty five years. And his sister jumped at the offer
(19:56):
and bought the house next to her mom's, so mom's
house next door as the sister then a house that
they don't own, and then Oscar's house. And then two
years later, Oscar's brother was looking for a house, and
the same thing happened, where the guy who owned that
home wanted to keep it in that area and keep
(20:20):
the people in that area and let them expand their
families and their living footprint, and offered it to the
brother at a good price, you know, at a regional price,
market price, and the brother bought it. So now the
mom owns a home next to the sister, next to
the brother, next to my buddy Oscar. I am so
(20:45):
efing jealous of that, and I think that comes from
when you come to this country. I think you find
a neighborhood, whether you're Armenian or Italian, African, American, Asian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese,
(21:06):
South American, European, we got it, we got it.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Oh sorry.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I think when you when you come to this country,
you you find an area where people have your values
in common, your sensibility is in common. You feel more
at home around people you know, people who are like you,
(21:32):
people who are family, who are relatives. And I think
after you know, because our family has been in this
country for well, my i'm I guess I'm I'm the
I'm the second generation American from Ireland. My grandfather's from Ireland,
my grandmother's from Romania, and my other side of the family,
(21:55):
they're from Ireland, and my mom and dad were first
generation American. My mom may have been second generation. I
have to find that out. My dad was first generation American.
I'm second generation, and I think as you get more
generations behind you, I think you lose that connection. You
(22:19):
become American and you don't identify as anything else. I
never call myself Irish American at all. It sounds odd.
I've just never never done that in my life. But
I think when you know you've been here for two, three,
four or five generations, I think you lose that. I
think you know you wander off and you move into
(22:39):
neighborhoods where you don't know anybody, the melting pot. And
there's nothing wrong with that. But man, I am so
jealous of people who have a neighborhood where the mom
lives there, the brother, the uncle, the aunt, and everybody
knows each other. That is a great way to go
(23:00):
through life. A great way to go through life. I
know there are certain instances where that could be a
pain in the ass. You know, Mom's always coming by,
or your uncle always pops by when he's buzzed.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
But in New Jersey, where my stepmother is from, they're
all first and second generation from Italy, and everybody on
that block is Italian. Everybody on that four or five
block area all Italian, and everybody has the same values.
All the kids go to the same schools. The kids
(23:38):
end up, you know, marrying the sons or daughters of friends,
and they stick around that neighborhood. And they bring up kids,
and those kids go to the same schools, and everybody
has a pot on on Sunday. Everybody has sauce on
Sunday and meatballs and sausage and pizza and all that
great Italian food. And I am so jealous of that.
(23:59):
We got experience that on Christmas. We go there for
Christmas and literally we're there for five days and every
day was a homemade, seven chorus, beautiful meal that smelled
like the top restaurant in New York. And I am
so jealous of that. Community of people are that close.
So if you have that in your life, where you
(24:22):
live next to mom or dad or Grandma, Grandpa, uncle
Ann's neighbors or cousins, hold on to that. Hold on
to that. Don't let that go. It might be rough sometimes,
but in the long run, that's a beautiful way to
go through life.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Just great.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Petros papadekas Is with us Petros. How are you, Bob?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Hello? Tim?
Speaker 1 (24:55):
How are you buddy? Look? I love when you're on
the show, and I love that somebody stole my jacket.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
You know what? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I don't understand that for the life I.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Wore a nice stylish jacket there today, not unlike the
one Rob Polenka war a little different. I'm in the
big press conference with uh, with Luka Doncic, right, and
I uh, I wore it today and now no one
can find it. And I didn't go anywhere. You know that,
I don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
By the way, is Luca. I heard Luka Danchid's son
is going to play for the Lakers. Is that true?
Speaker 4 (25:32):
No? No, I don't even know if he has kids. No,
a slov A Slovene kid is not.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I heard on some radio station he people referred to
him as a vodka drenched vapor.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yes, I did hear that about him? Yeah, Well, you
know there's I mean, he's a once in a generation
type of talent. There's got to be a reason that
Dallas let him go, right.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Right, Well, he was looking at a super max contract,
wasn't he.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Well, I guess yeah, but now he can't get that,
so Dallas letting him go. It's led to some great bitterness,
There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
And it cost him up to one hundred and fifty
million bucks.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
I guess. I mean, what do I look like a lawyer?
What do you want for that?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I don't think anyone stole your jacket.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Anyone has the same taste that you do in jacket.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Was a cool jacket, though, and it's gone, and I'm
very concerned about it.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I think you dropped Matt might take Did you take it?
Did you walk down the stairs tonight to get down
of here?
Speaker 4 (26:27):
No? I took the service elevator.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Maybe it's in the service elevator.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I took the elevator that they used for hookers in
a hotel.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Okay, well, maybe that's where it is. What the hell
is it raining out in Sampire?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
You're talking about like having families live together, and I
love that.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
But you had that growing up? You still do? Yeah, dude,
it's great.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Yeah, okay, all right. Look, the cops came to my
house like six times when I was in high school.
It's not that great.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Is it raining in sam Pedro?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Is it raining out there? Yeah, it's it's a light.
I'm not I'm not. I'm live in Palace Verdes. Okay,
that's a moot. Point.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Is that an insult?
Speaker 4 (27:04):
No? I missed living in San Pedro, though, I like
living here.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
What's the best restaurant in San Pedro right now?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Yes, the hottest restaurant in San Pedro is called Traine's
Dock Side Station. I'm glad you asked. Uh. It's run
by Dustin Training of the illicit, the great Trainey family. Uh.
They have another restaurant on Ninth Street, Trainees trainees A
and I A S. And what kind of food? People
say trainees And that's not it's not do them well,
(27:32):
it's just the pronunciation, you.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Know, it's right, right, like transmissions correct, like short for
transmission in your car?
Speaker 4 (27:39):
What?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
What kind of food?
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Italian? The new one, the hottest one is called Traine's
Dock Side Station, not Tranny's Talks right, No, it's it's
it's actually at the in the fish docks in San
Pedro rezoned. Uh. And what what Dustin Trainey was able
to do? Is that used to be the Ellis Island,
like the checkpoint for immigrants coming in from the West
(28:04):
coast Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Is the vagabond still there?
Speaker 4 (28:07):
The vagabond end on? Uh? I believe on harbor. Yes, yeah,
that's a great place to kill yourself. When I was
and the Samoan Hotel right under the Vincent Thomas Bridge.
Both great places to end it all. When I was
actually the Sea Sprite Hotel in Hermosa Beach, those are
my top.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I was in sixth grade in elementary school in the valley,
and our senior trip for sixth grade before we went
on the seventh was a night at the Vagabond Hotel
and then whale watching the next day.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Pretty sweet, really well, it was a different time. Yeah,
it was sweet but right, it's right, but buttressed up
against a real nice, large project.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yes, and it was. It was six guys in one room.
You know, when you're in sixth grade you can load
them up. Oh yeah, it was great. I mean that
your parts, buddy. I know that you have, you know,
really interested in sports. But since we have you had
talked about do you have any idea who's gonna win?
I really need the release on Sunday? Oh any idea?
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Yeah? I think the Chiefs will win. You do. Yeah,
And you know, I hate like the comparison stuff of sports,
like oh, this guy's this, and if this guy does this,
he's better than this guy, and this guy's the all
time goat, and then this guy's the other goat, and
this guy's a goat, but he hip checked a woman
off a balcony, so we can't call him to go.
You know, all of these different things that we argue
about in the world of sports. I do think one
(29:32):
thing is pretty valid, and I've heard it from a
lot of people, including my radio partner, you know, Patrick Mahomes.
In this era, and even though it's very different, football
is the circumstance of football is so drastically different. But
Mahomes really does kind of seem like or just the
Chiefs with the Mahomes and Andy Reid connection and all that.
It feels like just not being able to beat Michael Jordan. Okay,
(29:54):
you know, like how there's all these teams, they're all
really good, they all deserve great credit for being really,
really a beautiful pro football teams, but they just can't
get over the hump and beat the Chiefs when they
get into that type of game. But it is very interesting,
like the Patriots of the last dynasty in the NFL,
the Chiefs have changed their identity through the time that
(30:19):
they've been dominant. Like when they were first starting, it
was like a pinball game. They were very offensive. Now
they're much more of a defensive football team. They play
to their defense or the offense is and as productive.
That's for a reason. And you know when Tom Brady started,
he was like a game manager, taken over for Drew Bledsoe.
And then he became a guy, you know, throwing for
three hundred and fifty yards a game, you know, on
(30:41):
and off throughout his career. So there's been a an evolution,
so to speak, right, And I think that's why the
Chiefs will end up winning it.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
And this is a team that also lost Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
I mean this because they've won two Super Bowls since
they let him go. Wow. Yeah, But you know, the
Saquon Barkley guy, the bowling, ball headed running, he's great.
He's a great running back, and you know, I'd love
to see him take over the game because running, I mean,
I grew up in an era where you cared as
much about who the running back was. You know, Eric Dickerson,
Walter Payton, you were before sat Quan was no, not
(31:16):
not even close. But I did grow up in an
era where the running back was on a pro football team.
You know, the guys didn't come out and they played
every down and they were. They were just as big
as the quarterback in many ways. And uh, we've really
gotten away from that with situational football and you know,
platooning guys and you know, you have five or six
guys that play in a running back room and it
(31:38):
didn't really used to be that way. So to see
a guy, you know, really showing out for that position
and dominating playoff games in the NFL a week in
and week out, and he's like a super Max type
of whatever sort of player, Uh, that's fun to see too.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
So we'll see what percentage of of NFL players smoke weed?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
You think. Oh, that's a good question. You know you
heavy religion of the NFL as well. Okay, all right,
you know what I mean. I get it.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, yeah, you got a lot of thanking God and
thanking yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Because you know you do. You want to thank God
that you didn't get your head from a canoe. Trust me,
I pray every time. Please don't let me break my neck.
But uh yeah, i'd say about sixty five percent.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Really is that high?
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Is that high? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
That's a man's high.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Did they have attended?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Did they ever misspell your name on your jersey?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
No?
Speaker 4 (32:29):
At USC we didn't have oh you didn't have names. Okay,
Now we were an actual, proper traditional program. We don't
have to you know.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
All right, we got to get out here. Buddy, I
love you coming on, but I'd love to stay. You
can stay. You can be on with mo. It's first segment.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
