Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF. I am sixty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. So
we have a winner for our contest here, Stonefire Grilm
and it's a teacher and his name is David. I
believe David. Is that you? Yes, sir, Hey, congratulations on
(00:25):
the Stone Fire one hundred dollars gift certificate.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Well, thank you. I can't believe I got so lucky.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah. Where do you teach?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I teach at Mermase High School in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
All right, and what do you teach?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Mathematics?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Oh, my favorite subject. I love it. I can only
remember my math teachers' names. I mean, you know, elementary,
I remember Miss Bernstein, Miss Bernstein, third and fourth grade,
Miss Campbell and Mss Palmer. But after that, you know,
when you go through six or seven classes a day,
I only remembered my math teachers.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Oh that that's that's good.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Mister Timmins. I remembered mister mister Timmins in Portola, mister
Vineyard sort of drafting math, and then uh, mister Davis
in high school. They were great drafting.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I forgot about that. I took drafting in Uh seventh grade.
That was that was really cool. I haven't seen that
class a long time.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, I remember the first day of mister vineyards drafting class.
He said, I want to give get everyone to stand up,
walk around, and I want you to walk around the
class and then bring uh one item back to your
seat that you think is a ruler, you know, because
they had different sized rulers and you know they had
the triangle rulers, the flat rulers set you know, some
(01:47):
were metrics, some were standard. And everyone brought a ruler
back to the to their to their desk, and he said,
you all failed. He said, the only ruler in this
class is me. That's a line I.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Saw that coming about.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I don't know if everyone uses it, but I remember
that day. I'm like, oh, that guy's a cool dude. Uh.
And then eventually I had also another guy I can't
remember his name, but I used to run bets for
him back and forth to Santa Anita. So I got
a pretty good grade in that class as well. What
(02:27):
what you you teach high school? Mouth? What would he? Trigonometry?
A geometry?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I'm right now, I'm teaching algebra to which I cover,
I cover, I cover, algebra, and a little bit of
intermedia algebra, a little bit of a dance, uh, triggonometry
and geometry. I try to make sure they get a
multitude of skills before they go to the next class.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I got I was pretty good at geometry. I we
would not have met if you taught Trigg, we would
not have run into each other, or algebra two.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
It's really not part of the it's not part of
the curriculum, but I added in there because I want
him to get exposed to it, even on the simplest
sure levels, so that they're not scared of it when
they go to the next class.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Are kids behaving in your class?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, I don't have a problem they they
Once you get them to understand that you care about
them and you're not out to be there be the enemy,
they will pretty much behave. They do some stupid stuff
(03:39):
every now and then, but nothing malicious and nothing that
I go home and loose sleep over.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Mister Timmins at Portolo Junior High he would let us
out of class fifteen minutes early if we got the
math problem of the day correct, and so it was
an incentive to get it right, and he would just
roll it off. He didn't write it down. He would
just you know, he would just roll out a math
problem and then we would have to answer it. We'd
have to write the number down. And I always thought
(04:07):
that was a cool way to, uh to, you know,
to get kids to motivate, to get the hell out
of there.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Oh yeah, that's one of the toughest thing right now
is motivating them, because some of them don't see maths
is helping them in their future. And and what do
you say to that, By the way we advocate is David.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
What do you say to that where people say, there's
going to be calculators, we have computers. Why do we
have to learn any of this stuff? I bet you
have a great answer for that.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, I tell them you're gaining what's called math power,
and that's the ability to think logically and to problem
solve and to be able to tackle any kind of
adversity in your life because you could think logically rather
than just right away I give up right now. They
(04:59):
may never use in their whole lifetime, but they're thinking,
and they're expanding their brain, and their brain is learning
to think using more logic than it is using.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Just I don't care.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Right, that's a great, that's a great They're going to
use this we you know, we have a doctor who
comes on with his doctor, Raikus Sherry, pull monologists out
of Saint Joe's in Orange County, and and I asked
him one day, how much do you practice on a
daily basis of what you learned in med school? And
he had a great answer. He said, almost zero. But
(05:32):
med school taught you how to learn.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yes, yes, exactly the same with matth. You know, same
with matth. You've got a life is one huge problem
that you're solving like every day, that's right, And you
can't just say I don't know and then just call
it you know, right now, there I face the whole Well,
I can just google it, you know, or I could
(05:57):
just go on YouTube and figure it out, right, And
that's not you know, that might be the easy way,
but that's not that's not the logical way, the problem
solving way. I mean, you can't just you got face
with something in your house. He can just pick up
the phone and call it a plumber. You can try
to figure it out first, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, can I give you a math problem?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Okay? Ready? And at home. You can play along as well.
I'm just going to make this up as I go along.
All right, twelve, multiply by twelve minus four, divide it
by ten, add six, multiply it by five.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
One.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
That's exactly right. That's great man, that's right. Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
If I failed on if I failed on national radio.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
But he literally would give us that problem and it
would go on for like thirty seconds. And and you know,
if you got it right, you got a big discount
on the day you can get out of they're early.
It was great.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah. I do incentives like that. You know. For example,
if I'm doing a problem on the border, demonstrating something
on the board, if I make a mistake, which I
tell them I will do. Matt is a lot of mistakes.
But you have to be aware that when you come
up with some kind of an answer, to check it
(07:24):
and see if it if it makes sense, I tell
them I'll make a mistake every now and then if
you catch my mistake, you win a bag of cookie.
I give up, I give out a few beg.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
How long you've been teaching thirty five years? Okay? Are
you close to retirement?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah? This is my last two weeks here Okay, retire
at the end of this year.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Have you had children of past students come through your class. Yes,
that's kind of a cool deal, huh.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I have. And then the parents will come the open
house and I'll recognize them and wow, and it's some
some of my former students or grandparents.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh that's great, that is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, funny one.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
But you know what I imagine, you know, all the
money in the world, you know, could never equate that
feeling you must have where you see you know, ex
students or former students with their kids in your class,
and you get that that warm feeling that you've taught
you know, two or three generations you know, how to
get along in life. I think it's it's unbelievable. There's
(08:29):
nothing equivalent to that in society, right.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And sometimes they'll they'll go off, you know, graduate and
go off, and you'll worry about them. Well, what are
they going to do that I have no comeback five
years later and thank you for caring about them and
encouraging them and believing in them. And there they are. It's,
you know, twenty three year old adults standing right in
front of you.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
You know, my daughter, my daughter is nineteen years old,
and she comes from a family of unbelievably talented, humorous celebrities,
and I, you know, yeah, you know my dad and
then me and then uh and then but she Crozier.
I saw that. I saw you laughing your ass off.
I swear to God, I'll keep your car. But but
(09:15):
she doesn't want to be in entertainment. She wants to
be a teacher. And she works at LAUSD right now
as a teacher's assistant and she loves it.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, you know, I figured out I really wanted to
be a teacher. I got hired as a what they
call a walk on coach, somebody that comes from the
community and will coach at the school. And I just
I loved coaching. I'd coached my little sisters with my dad.
But then I got that varsity job coaching good high
(09:45):
school girls softball. I just went, man, this is what
I want to do. I love this. But that was
paying me about fifty cents an hour.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
So David realize, Okay, what's your last name?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Watson? Wat so in Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
David Watson with is it Mesa.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Mara, mesa mirror Masa?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
All right?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
In San Diego?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Please call us when you retire, do a big announcement.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It'll be uh at the end of May, last.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
This month. Okay, well maybe we'll do it now. But
I really appreciate you coming on. I didn't I didn't
think we're going to talk so long. But I have
more respect for math teachers than I think anybody in
the world, either in entertainment or politics or sports or
you know, guys who work at the grocery store. I
really connected with math teachers and and I really appreciate
(10:42):
you sticking it out for thirty five years and helping
everybody really do well.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Thank you so much, Misway. It's it's an honor, and
I appreciate you giving me all this time.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Hey, listen, I could go on till seven with you,
all right, holding me put you on hold. Congratulate. He
got the stonefire grill one hundred dollars and he's gonna
enjoy a big, huge, great meal. Well we come back.
Dean Sharp the house whisper, it's gonna be with us.
And he's got an unbelievable piece of equipment that is
going to knock your socks off that you could buy.
(11:14):
I just saw it. He just sent it to me.
Game changer, total game changer when it comes to doing
something in your house.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Dean Sharp is with us the house Whisper. He's on
every Saturday from six a to eight A and then
Sunday from nine am until noon. And Dean, how you bub?
I'm good, I'm good, nice man, nice Hey. This is
a game changer. I never say that. I hate that term,
but man, I've never seen it. I've never seen anything
(11:49):
like this. Yeah, tell the audience what this is. Okay,
So just everybody has a little context here. This weekend,
we're talking color Sunday show. I'm doing a color theory show.
Color color is a mess. I mean, people struggle with color.
And there's a whole bunch of reasons why.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
You know, you go to the paint store, you pick
out that sample, you're like, all right, this is the
one you get at home and you're like.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Whoa, what is wrong with this? And it's just tough.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
I mean, it is tough, tough, tough, and there are
some very real, very scientific reasons why. I'm gonna explain
it all this weekend. But here's one of the cheats
that I sent you encroached to take a look at
before we got going. Here's one of the things that
I keep in my pocket when we're doing like a
design consult and I end up looking like a wizard
of all things color. There is a tool out there, man,
(12:42):
talk about great tools. It is called the Nicks ni x. Okay,
the specific one that I carry around is called the
Nicks Mini three, third version of it. It's about the
size of a quarter in circumference, and you keep it
in your pocket. You keep it charged up on a
(13:04):
USB and it mates with an app on your phone, right,
so it communicates Bluetooth with an app on your smartphone.
And what this Nicks Mini three is and by the way,
it's ninety nine bucks shape ninety nine dollars. What this
Knicks Mini three does it is a pocket color analyzer.
And what that means is very simply, this anything you
(13:26):
see anywhere.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Right.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
There have been times I'm shopping with a client and
they're like, oh my gosh, Dean, this is it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I'm like, what what do you see? This couch?
Speaker 6 (13:35):
You see this couch, You see that You see the
color of that pillow, that's the color I've been thinking
about putting on the wall in the bedroom, and I'm like,
all right, I don't figure that out for you. And
I just pull out the Knicks and I just push
it against the fabric on the couch, and in three seconds,
the Knicks is telling my phone what the closest color
(13:57):
is in her favorite brand of paint. Wow, I mean
on the nose, on the nose, how many colors can
it go through? Millions of hat huh? Millions millions of colors,
millions of colors every major paint brand, or if you
don't want the paint brand, we can translate it into
see them like GB or Pantone colors for printing. I mean,
(14:18):
it is an amazing little tool and it has never
failed me. I will literally that people will be like,
what is the color of this wood stain here? And
I'll just put the thing on there and I'll be like,
this is the color that we're shooting for. This is
what We'll have the guys mix up, and it sure
is shooting. It's just like on the nose. The old
way is so archaic.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
We had a when we moved into our house, we
wanted to paint another room the same color as the
living room, and I didn't have any samples or anything,
and I brought some samples home and I was trying
to get close and then my wife said, let's just
take a chip of the paint and take it in
and they'll analyze. I'm like, well, I'm not taking dry
(14:57):
wall and chipping the paint and everything. It seems so archaic, man,
this is unbelievable that that they this is, this is
this advance. Here is something that every single contractor is
going to have. I just went through exactly.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I just went through organizing, reorganizing, cleaning up my garage.
And I have, like like most people do, a drawer
that's got like ten to fifteen paint cans, and I'm
from various rooms throughout the house that and I'm always
worried that full wall. For one thing, is the paint
going to be bad if I actually needed And two
does your paint on your wall fade enough to where
(15:31):
it's not going to be the same even if you
use that old can.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
So now I'm I've been looking for reasons to throw
away all of those.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Old cans and just get one as they needed to
patch up using this thing.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
That's exactly right, and you know you're talking about I mean,
you know your wife is right, you know, taking a
little chip of the existing wall. But here's the problem, right,
Maybe the thing you're trying to patch is way up
here in the left hand corner of the wall, in
this sunlight, where it gets down right, right, And maybe
maybe the the safest place to take a chip is
like down on the other corner, you know, away from
(16:03):
the door, where nobody will see it. Right, it's not
the same color, right, And so what you can do
with this nixt you can put it right next to
the damage, I mean right next to it, and you
just like that's the color. You get a little teeny
you know, pint jar and you dab it in there.
You're like, Okay, that was amazing. It just matched it perfectly.
Oh that's great, hey, croach, we gotta take a break.
(16:24):
But real cool, real quick. I did you go old
school getting rid of the paint or did you do
the right thing? I haven't gotten rid of it yet. Okay,
haven't gotten rid of it yet, But I get it, dude,
I get it. Get married in the bottom of the
track your cardboard.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Wait, there was there was only two gallons of gas
in that can that I threw up. That's so horrible.
All right, hold them. It's like Dean sharpst whether it's
the House Whisper. I got a question for him when
it comes to painting. We'll come back and talk to him.
This guy what he's doing. It's called the Knicks N
I X the Mini three and you can literally put
it on a wall and match any color in your house.
(17:08):
This is huge.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Dean Sharvis Wethers The House Whisper every single Saturday eight
to six to eight am on Saturday, and then on
Sunday nine am until noon. And we're talking about painting.
You know, Dean, before like when my mom used to
hire a painter when I was a kid. She used
to always talk about, you know, we had a great painter.
She had a great painter because he had great lines.
(17:37):
I remember her always saying that beautiful straight lines. He
had a great, great lines. Guy. Is it easier for
amateurs to paint now because of the advancements like frog
tape and different equipment and different paint Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I think generally, is your mom actually commenting about the
paint or the painter.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
About how straight his lines were. She always said that
he has a great lines, so he made great straight lines.
See I'm not That's the thing. I don't know exactly
where in the middle of a wall where we're doing
a lot of straight lines and changing color. But you know, okay,
I think she meant up near the crown molding, you know,
because back then, I don't know if he used tape
as much. But I always learned from you. I heard
(18:19):
you say this on your show one day, that the
prep is ninety percent of the work. Oh it totally is.
It totally is. And you're right.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
The new masking tapes have made so much progress in
anybody's job being better, you know, like a frog tape, right,
you mentioned frog tape. A lot of people don't understand
what frog tape is. They're like, it's you know, here,
I understand what it is. It's twice as expensive as
the other stuff, that's what it is. But there's a reason.
And there's also a reason by the way it comes
(18:50):
in a little tupperware container, you know, a little plastic container,
instead of just sitting out on the shelf like the
other why is that? And that's that's because frog tape
has a has a gelatinous adhesive right under the edge
of the tape, and when you seal frog tape down
as masking tape, as soon as the moisture in the
(19:10):
paint touches that gelatinous thing, it seals off. Like aw,
it seals off, which makes frog tape the least I
mean to talk about true lines, it is the masking
tape that has the least amount of seepage underneath it.
I mean, frog tape is just tight, takes a tight
straight line. But a lot of people love that and
then they throw away the container. But that little tupper
(19:33):
container that it comes in is meant to keep that
stuff fresh because it actually has an expiration date as
opposed to the rest of your tape. So anyway, but yeah,
stuff like frog tape is amazing because you can stretch
it out across the you know, a line that you
want to make, and as you pull it up, you
don't get that, oh geez, look it leaked under, it
(19:54):
crept out underneath, and it screwed up the line. It
just doesn't happen with frog tape.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
That's great, man, It's worth the the price then double yeah, yeah,
for sure. Let me ask you a question, speaking of colors,
how this happens?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You know, in all over southern California, you'll have a
house that's white house, that's beige house that's like, you know,
a nice warm brown, or a nice, you know, beautiful
color of green. And then there's a pink house or
a purple house. What are these people's in every neighborhood.
There's one in every neighborhood. Yeah, is that a malion disorder?
Speaker 6 (20:29):
It may be, It may be, honestly, you know, I mean,
as a designer, I encourage to for people to let
their freak flag fly as much as possible. But at
the same time, it's like, whoa, whoa, let's just let's
let's have a little respect for the neighbors.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Sure is my point. That's my point. I don't mind.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
You want to go crazy wild pink on the inside
of your house, you know, go for it, because that's
your space. But you know, I always I often bring
up on my show the guy who lives next door
to my mom down in Orange who will remain nameless,
but he built just an atrocity of a home and
it's kind of this weird blue purple color and it's
(21:09):
just like.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Oh my gosh, man, read the room. That's just you
know what reading I've been a big fan of and
we haven't had This is the first time we've really
ever had a chimney. But painting the chimney is a
is a big plus, I think, at least for me,
because the brick chimney will fade, it'll get like mold,
(21:30):
it'll get you know, discolorization. But if you paint it,
you like we painted are as gray or black, I
think that's a nice look.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Yeah, it can be a really nice look. There's nothing
wrong with painting brick, you know, or even painting some stone.
So as long as you're doing it right and doing
the prep and you asked earlier, you know, like can
people do this better these days? And you know, I
include house painting in one of those areas where technically
it's complex because there's a number of steps, right, there's
(21:59):
like ten fifteen steps she could do with them all
in order. But in the end, if you're willing to
follow those instructions and actually do those steps, you don't
actually have to be talented in order to get a
good result. You just gotta follow the steps. And it's true,
you got to put in the elbow grease because prep
is ninety percent. And then when the paint goes on
the wall, you can walk away and you're like, you
(22:20):
know what, you could paint your house as well as
a professional, because you know it's not the Mona Lisa right,
We're not doing van Go. We're just putting color on
a wall. And if you do the steps, you'll get
a good result.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I've always had this argument with my wife, and it's
not the most vicious one I have with her. But
who sees color better? Men or women? Oh? Women? By far?
Speaker 6 (22:42):
It's science. I'm sorry, it's science. Women see color better.
It is a it's a cone structure. And yeah, we're
most likely to see red, right, we are, you and me,
But she sees crimson, burgundy, tomato red. Researchers from Arizona
State University a while back determined that there's a gene that,
(23:05):
especially when it comes to red tones, that allows us
to see red. It sits on the X chromosome, and
since women have two of them, it aids in their
ability to perceive the red orange color spectrum much better.
And in general, women are better at differentiating the clean
between close range of colors, while men are better at
recognizing fine details in a moving object.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
You figure that out. I don't know, quick question. When
Ford first came out with their cars, I've heard this rumor.
I'm not being able to confirm it. They paint them
all black because black paint dries twice as fast. Is
that true.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
I've never heard that in my life, but I'm going
to look it up and I'm going to share it
this weekend whatever I might have to find that on snops.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
I mean, I suppose.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
I suppose if you're parking them mount in the sun
when they're wet, because black absorbs heat faster than I mean,
so I guess in theory that you would heat up
faster and the paint would bribe. But I don't think
there's anything intrinsic in a pigment that makes a paint
dry faster or slower.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Okay, and run at the risk of getting you know,
yelled at because of a free plug. But you and
I share our favorite paint store together. We both have
our favorite paint store. It's the same store.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Benjamin Moore Baby Benjamin More Paints, Catalina paint stores here
and so cal.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
You know, they're the best there. They are the best.
I am. I'm very serious when I say this.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
I went and got Benjamin Moore when I started doing
the show, and I said, guys, I've been using your
paint for like thirty seven years exclusively. Why don't you
come and allow me to just tell the world you know,
and so and that's why they're a partner now on
the show.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, not because so.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
I don't I'm not in favor of Benjamin Moore because
they paid me money. I went out and begged them
to come and be a partner because I don't want
to talk about anybody else's paint.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
Yeah, and I started using it when you were really
talking about it, and now that's all I use because
I absolutely noticed the difference one how it looks, how
easy it is to put on. It's just a difference
that you didn't think there was.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, yeah, the painting process. It's like Butta. It's just
like Butta. And the people at Catalina at the store
are all painters.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
And that's the other thing. You can only buy Benjamin
Moore at professional paint stores like Catalina, which means when
you go in and ask questions of the person behind
the counter. You're not going to get the kid who
was working in garden the garden center like two weeks ago. Right,
You're going to get somebody who is a professional painter,
and they're going to tell you exactly what you need
(25:34):
to know.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
All right, Then one last thing. You and I both
remember builders in porium or your first you know, your
first paint store paint eighteen dollars a gallon. Those days
are over. I couldn't believe it. Eighty five ninety five dollars.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
I bought a Fiji water at Vaughn's today.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
It was six bucks. It's water, I know, BUTDDY appreciate
you coming on. I'll be listening over the weekend. Thanks Tim,
Thanks sir. All Right, there you goes tet and sharp
the house whisper.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
All right, gas prices are about to go through the
roof here in California. They some people are saying they
might go up to eight dollars a gallon, eight bucks
a gallon for gas. Right, don't get mad, but we
could soon be paying more for gas yeah, California.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
A University of Southern California professor says that could be
the case if two refineries close in our state. Phillip
sixty six refinery and Wilmington could close by the end
of the year, which would put push gas prices to
above six dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Okay, that's six bucks. And then if the other one closes,
is it eight?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
And then if the Valero refinery in the Bay Area
closes by the end of the next year, that could
send prices soaring to nine dollars a gallon.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Okay, sorry about that misinformation, Uh, fake news. I was wrong.
It's not eight dollars a gallon. Sorry, it's nine dollars
a gallon. Nine dollars a gallon.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
That could send prices soaring to nine dollars a gallon.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
A reduction in supply, yeah, relatively stable demand, and more
layering on of legislative costs. I wonder if that's going
to be the straw that broke the camel's back in California.
I wonderful, all riot in the streets if we're paying
nine dollars for a gallon of gas belly, Oh, you
drive fifty miles one way and then you drive fifty
(27:36):
miles the other way. Thanks, one hundred miles a day.
Nine dollars a gallon will kill you.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
That would not be good. It'd wipe you out, it
would wipe me out. Yeah, so we've got to do
something about that. And no, it's not you staying at home.
That's not going on.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
But Belly, I'll tell you why you can't because we
got a huge compliment from David the teacher, David Watson. Yeah, yeah,
what do you say?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
He?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (28:06):
He said that he really enjoyed you. No, you and
I are banter back and forth.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Okay. And then what he thought I had pretty pretty
good sense of humor okay. And then what did you
tell him?
Speaker 8 (28:18):
I told him that I am the Carol Burnet of Radie.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
That's right. And I used to remember what used to
be embarrassed and ashamed to say that. Now you lead
with that. I've embraced it. I see what people saw. Yeah,
and sometimes you introduce yourself how I'm Carol, I mean,
I'm sorry, I'm Sharon. God did I say Carol, I'm sorry?
Speaker 8 (28:39):
It slips occasional, Yes, Carol would have done that.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
So it's okay. I've heard from your husband John. I
don't want to say it's on the air, but I
don't want to say it off the air because I'm embarrassed.
You're working on a Tarzan call.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
Yeah, that'sat scratch.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Okay, I think we're using the line. I don't. You
don't think so? No, I think we are all right.
Bellio is Carol Burnette and that feature every day is
being brought to you by Advanced Hair one day treatment,
life changing results. Make your appointment today at Advanced Hair
dot com. That's skit. Yes, Bellio, that was a fun
(29:20):
program today. I give you, I give you the star.
I enjoy talking to David Watson.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
I know, right, and you know what the Fush will
tell you when when he gave you the math answer
when you asked that was a fabulous question you asked him,
and Fush goes, that's.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
The best answer I've ever heard.
Speaker 9 (29:38):
I mean, it's the one time and all the time
that I've been in school and when they're just like,
when are we going to use this? Then you can
never give you like a straight answer. That was the
most thoughtful, insightful answer I've ever heard of any teacher ever.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Oh that's great. That was really cool.
Speaker 9 (29:52):
So that guy is definitely he he definitely belongs in
teaching because he definitely cares about the kids.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Right, and you know what's unfort He's got three weeks left, yeah,
I know, and then that's a wrap. He's done and.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
We got to know him. I'm so glad we had this.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Oh my god, Carol, please, Carol, Carol, just to have
a laughing you sing a song. Seems we just get
started and before you know it, come the time. We
have to say, so good night, everybody. Good Night. Conway

It's k IF. I am sixty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. So
we have a winner for our contest here, Stonefire Grilm
and it's a teacher and his name is David. I
believe David. Is that you? Yes, sir, Hey, congratulations on
(00:25):
the Stone Fire one hundred dollars gift certificate.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Well, thank you. I can't believe I got so lucky.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah. Where do you teach?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I teach at Mermase High School in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
All right, and what do you teach?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Mathematics?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Oh, my favorite subject. I love it. I can only
remember my math teachers' names. I mean, you know, elementary,
I remember Miss Bernstein, Miss Bernstein, third and fourth grade,
Miss Campbell and Mss Palmer. But after that, you know,
when you go through six or seven classes a day,
I only remembered my math teachers.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Oh that that's that's good.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Mister Timmins. I remembered mister mister Timmins in Portola, mister
Vineyard sort of drafting math, and then uh, mister Davis
in high school. They were great drafting.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I forgot about that. I took drafting in Uh seventh grade.
That was that was really cool. I haven't seen that
class a long time.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, I remember the first day of mister vineyards drafting class.
He said, I want to give get everyone to stand up,
walk around, and I want you to walk around the
class and then bring uh one item back to your
seat that you think is a ruler, you know, because
they had different sized rulers and you know they had
the triangle rulers, the flat rulers set you know, some
(01:47):
were metrics, some were standard. And everyone brought a ruler
back to the to their to their desk, and he said,
you all failed. He said, the only ruler in this
class is me. That's a line I.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Saw that coming about.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I don't know if everyone uses it, but I remember
that day. I'm like, oh, that guy's a cool dude. Uh.
And then eventually I had also another guy I can't
remember his name, but I used to run bets for
him back and forth to Santa Anita. So I got
a pretty good grade in that class as well. What
(02:27):
what you you teach high school? Mouth? What would he? Trigonometry?
A geometry?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I'm right now, I'm teaching algebra to which I cover,
I cover, I cover, algebra, and a little bit of
intermedia algebra, a little bit of a dance, uh, triggonometry
and geometry. I try to make sure they get a
multitude of skills before they go to the next class.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I got I was pretty good at geometry. I we
would not have met if you taught Trigg, we would
not have run into each other, or algebra two.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
It's really not part of the it's not part of
the curriculum, but I added in there because I want
him to get exposed to it, even on the simplest
sure levels, so that they're not scared of it when
they go to the next class.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Are kids behaving in your class?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, I don't have a problem they they
Once you get them to understand that you care about
them and you're not out to be there be the enemy,
they will pretty much behave. They do some stupid stuff
(03:39):
every now and then, but nothing malicious and nothing that
I go home and loose sleep over.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Mister Timmins at Portolo Junior High he would let us
out of class fifteen minutes early if we got the
math problem of the day correct, and so it was
an incentive to get it right, and he would just
roll it off. He didn't write it down. He would
just you know, he would just roll out a math
problem and then we would have to answer it. We'd
have to write the number down. And I always thought
(04:07):
that was a cool way to, uh to, you know,
to get kids to motivate, to get the hell out
of there.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Oh yeah, that's one of the toughest thing right now
is motivating them, because some of them don't see maths
is helping them in their future. And and what do
you say to that, By the way we advocate is David.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
What do you say to that where people say, there's
going to be calculators, we have computers. Why do we
have to learn any of this stuff? I bet you
have a great answer for that.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, I tell them you're gaining what's called math power,
and that's the ability to think logically and to problem
solve and to be able to tackle any kind of
adversity in your life because you could think logically rather
than just right away I give up right now. They
(04:59):
may never use in their whole lifetime, but they're thinking,
and they're expanding their brain, and their brain is learning
to think using more logic than it is using.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Just I don't care.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Right, that's a great, that's a great They're going to
use this we you know, we have a doctor who
comes on with his doctor, Raikus Sherry, pull monologists out
of Saint Joe's in Orange County, and and I asked
him one day, how much do you practice on a
daily basis of what you learned in med school? And
he had a great answer. He said, almost zero. But
(05:32):
med school taught you how to learn.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yes, yes, exactly the same with matth. You know, same
with matth. You've got a life is one huge problem
that you're solving like every day, that's right, And you
can't just say I don't know and then just call
it you know, right now, there I face the whole Well,
I can just google it, you know, or I could
(05:57):
just go on YouTube and figure it out, right, And
that's not you know, that might be the easy way,
but that's not that's not the logical way, the problem
solving way. I mean, you can't just you got face
with something in your house. He can just pick up
the phone and call it a plumber. You can try
to figure it out first, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, can I give you a math problem?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Okay? Ready? And at home. You can play along as well.
I'm just going to make this up as I go along.
All right, twelve, multiply by twelve minus four, divide it
by ten, add six, multiply it by five.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
One.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
That's exactly right. That's great man, that's right. Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
If I failed on if I failed on national radio.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
But he literally would give us that problem and it
would go on for like thirty seconds. And and you know,
if you got it right, you got a big discount
on the day you can get out of they're early.
It was great.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah. I do incentives like that. You know. For example,
if I'm doing a problem on the border, demonstrating something
on the board, if I make a mistake, which I
tell them I will do. Matt is a lot of mistakes.
But you have to be aware that when you come
up with some kind of an answer, to check it
(07:24):
and see if it if it makes sense, I tell
them I'll make a mistake every now and then if
you catch my mistake, you win a bag of cookie.
I give up, I give out a few beg.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
How long you've been teaching thirty five years? Okay? Are
you close to retirement?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah? This is my last two weeks here Okay, retire
at the end of this year.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Have you had children of past students come through your class. Yes,
that's kind of a cool deal, huh.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I have. And then the parents will come the open
house and I'll recognize them and wow, and it's some
some of my former students or grandparents.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh that's great, that is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, funny one.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
But you know what I imagine, you know, all the
money in the world, you know, could never equate that
feeling you must have where you see you know, ex
students or former students with their kids in your class,
and you get that that warm feeling that you've taught
you know, two or three generations you know, how to
get along in life. I think it's it's unbelievable. There's
(08:29):
nothing equivalent to that in society, right.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And sometimes they'll they'll go off, you know, graduate and
go off, and you'll worry about them. Well, what are
they going to do that I have no comeback five
years later and thank you for caring about them and
encouraging them and believing in them. And there they are. It's,
you know, twenty three year old adults standing right in
front of you.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
You know, my daughter, my daughter is nineteen years old,
and she comes from a family of unbelievably talented, humorous celebrities,
and I, you know, yeah, you know my dad and
then me and then uh and then but she Crozier.
I saw that. I saw you laughing your ass off.
I swear to God, I'll keep your car. But but
(09:15):
she doesn't want to be in entertainment. She wants to
be a teacher. And she works at LAUSD right now
as a teacher's assistant and she loves it.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, you know, I figured out I really wanted to
be a teacher. I got hired as a what they
call a walk on coach, somebody that comes from the
community and will coach at the school. And I just
I loved coaching. I'd coached my little sisters with my dad.
But then I got that varsity job coaching good high
(09:45):
school girls softball. I just went, man, this is what
I want to do. I love this. But that was
paying me about fifty cents an hour.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
So David realize, Okay, what's your last name?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Watson? Wat so in Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
David Watson with is it Mesa.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Mara, mesa mirror Masa?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
All right?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
In San Diego?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Please call us when you retire, do a big announcement.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It'll be uh at the end of May, last.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
This month. Okay, well maybe we'll do it now. But
I really appreciate you coming on. I didn't I didn't
think we're going to talk so long. But I have
more respect for math teachers than I think anybody in
the world, either in entertainment or politics or sports or
you know, guys who work at the grocery store. I
really connected with math teachers and and I really appreciate
(10:42):
you sticking it out for thirty five years and helping
everybody really do well.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Thank you so much, Misway. It's it's an honor, and
I appreciate you giving me all this time.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Hey, listen, I could go on till seven with you,
all right, holding me put you on hold. Congratulate. He
got the stonefire grill one hundred dollars and he's gonna
enjoy a big, huge, great meal. Well we come back.
Dean Sharp the house whisper, it's gonna be with us.
And he's got an unbelievable piece of equipment that is
going to knock your socks off that you could buy.
(11:14):
I just saw it. He just sent it to me.
Game changer, total game changer when it comes to doing
something in your house.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Dean Sharp is with us the house Whisper. He's on
every Saturday from six a to eight A and then
Sunday from nine am until noon. And Dean, how you bub?
I'm good, I'm good, nice man, nice Hey. This is
a game changer. I never say that. I hate that term,
but man, I've never seen it. I've never seen anything
(11:49):
like this. Yeah, tell the audience what this is. Okay,
So just everybody has a little context here. This weekend,
we're talking color Sunday show. I'm doing a color theory show.
Color color is a mess. I mean, people struggle with color.
And there's a whole bunch of reasons why.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
You know, you go to the paint store, you pick
out that sample, you're like, all right, this is the
one you get at home and you're like.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Whoa, what is wrong with this? And it's just tough.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
I mean, it is tough, tough, tough, and there are
some very real, very scientific reasons why. I'm gonna explain
it all this weekend. But here's one of the cheats
that I sent you encroached to take a look at
before we got going. Here's one of the things that
I keep in my pocket when we're doing like a
design consult and I end up looking like a wizard
of all things color. There is a tool out there, man,
(12:42):
talk about great tools. It is called the Nicks ni x. Okay,
the specific one that I carry around is called the
Nicks Mini three, third version of it. It's about the
size of a quarter in circumference, and you keep it
in your pocket. You keep it charged up on a
(13:04):
USB and it mates with an app on your phone, right,
so it communicates Bluetooth with an app on your smartphone.
And what this Nicks Mini three is and by the way,
it's ninety nine bucks shape ninety nine dollars. What this
Knicks Mini three does it is a pocket color analyzer.
And what that means is very simply, this anything you
(13:26):
see anywhere.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Right.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
There have been times I'm shopping with a client and
they're like, oh my gosh, Dean, this is it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I'm like, what what do you see? This couch?
Speaker 6 (13:35):
You see this couch, You see that You see the
color of that pillow, that's the color I've been thinking
about putting on the wall in the bedroom, and I'm like,
all right, I don't figure that out for you. And
I just pull out the Knicks and I just push
it against the fabric on the couch, and in three seconds,
the Knicks is telling my phone what the closest color
(13:57):
is in her favorite brand of paint. Wow, I mean
on the nose, on the nose, how many colors can
it go through? Millions of hat huh? Millions millions of colors,
millions of colors every major paint brand, or if you
don't want the paint brand, we can translate it into
see them like GB or Pantone colors for printing. I mean,
(14:18):
it is an amazing little tool and it has never
failed me. I will literally that people will be like,
what is the color of this wood stain here? And
I'll just put the thing on there and I'll be like,
this is the color that we're shooting for. This is
what We'll have the guys mix up, and it sure
is shooting. It's just like on the nose. The old
way is so archaic.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
We had a when we moved into our house, we
wanted to paint another room the same color as the
living room, and I didn't have any samples or anything,
and I brought some samples home and I was trying
to get close and then my wife said, let's just
take a chip of the paint and take it in
and they'll analyze. I'm like, well, I'm not taking dry
(14:57):
wall and chipping the paint and everything. It seems so archaic, man,
this is unbelievable that that they this is, this is
this advance. Here is something that every single contractor is
going to have. I just went through exactly.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
I just went through organizing, reorganizing, cleaning up my garage.
And I have, like like most people do, a drawer
that's got like ten to fifteen paint cans, and I'm
from various rooms throughout the house that and I'm always
worried that full wall. For one thing, is the paint
going to be bad if I actually needed And two
does your paint on your wall fade enough to where
(15:31):
it's not going to be the same even if you
use that old can.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
So now I'm I've been looking for reasons to throw
away all of those.
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Old cans and just get one as they needed to
patch up using this thing.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
That's exactly right, and you know you're talking about I mean,
you know your wife is right, you know, taking a
little chip of the existing wall. But here's the problem, right,
Maybe the thing you're trying to patch is way up
here in the left hand corner of the wall, in
this sunlight, where it gets down right, right, And maybe
maybe the the safest place to take a chip is
like down on the other corner, you know, away from
(16:03):
the door, where nobody will see it. Right, it's not
the same color, right, And so what you can do
with this nixt you can put it right next to
the damage, I mean right next to it, and you
just like that's the color. You get a little teeny
you know, pint jar and you dab it in there.
You're like, Okay, that was amazing. It just matched it perfectly.
Oh that's great, hey, croach, we gotta take a break.
(16:24):
But real cool, real quick. I did you go old
school getting rid of the paint or did you do
the right thing? I haven't gotten rid of it yet. Okay,
haven't gotten rid of it yet, But I get it, dude,
I get it. Get married in the bottom of the
track your cardboard.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Wait, there was there was only two gallons of gas
in that can that I threw up. That's so horrible.
All right, hold them. It's like Dean sharpst whether it's
the House Whisper. I got a question for him when
it comes to painting. We'll come back and talk to him.
This guy what he's doing. It's called the Knicks N
I X the Mini three and you can literally put
it on a wall and match any color in your house.
(17:08):
This is huge.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Dean Sharvis Wethers The House Whisper every single Saturday eight
to six to eight am on Saturday, and then on
Sunday nine am until noon. And we're talking about painting.
You know, Dean, before like when my mom used to
hire a painter when I was a kid. She used
to always talk about, you know, we had a great painter.
She had a great painter because he had great lines.
(17:37):
I remember her always saying that beautiful straight lines. He
had a great, great lines. Guy. Is it easier for
amateurs to paint now because of the advancements like frog
tape and different equipment and different paint Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I think generally, is your mom actually commenting about the
paint or the painter.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
About how straight his lines were. She always said that
he has a great lines, so he made great straight lines.
See I'm not That's the thing. I don't know exactly
where in the middle of a wall where we're doing
a lot of straight lines and changing color. But you know, okay,
I think she meant up near the crown molding, you know,
because back then, I don't know if he used tape
as much. But I always learned from you. I heard
(18:19):
you say this on your show one day, that the
prep is ninety percent of the work. Oh it totally is.
It totally is. And you're right.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
The new masking tapes have made so much progress in
anybody's job being better, you know, like a frog tape, right,
you mentioned frog tape. A lot of people don't understand
what frog tape is. They're like, it's you know, here,
I understand what it is. It's twice as expensive as
the other stuff, that's what it is. But there's a reason.
And there's also a reason by the way it comes
(18:50):
in a little tupperware container, you know, a little plastic container,
instead of just sitting out on the shelf like the
other why is that? And that's that's because frog tape
has a has a gelatinous adhesive right under the edge
of the tape, and when you seal frog tape down
as masking tape, as soon as the moisture in the
(19:10):
paint touches that gelatinous thing, it seals off. Like aw,
it seals off, which makes frog tape the least I
mean to talk about true lines, it is the masking
tape that has the least amount of seepage underneath it.
I mean, frog tape is just tight, takes a tight
straight line. But a lot of people love that and
then they throw away the container. But that little tupper
(19:33):
container that it comes in is meant to keep that
stuff fresh because it actually has an expiration date as
opposed to the rest of your tape. So anyway, but yeah,
stuff like frog tape is amazing because you can stretch
it out across the you know, a line that you
want to make, and as you pull it up, you
don't get that, oh geez, look it leaked under, it
(19:54):
crept out underneath, and it screwed up the line. It
just doesn't happen with frog tape.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
That's great, man, It's worth the the price then double yeah, yeah,
for sure. Let me ask you a question, speaking of colors,
how this happens?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You know, in all over southern California, you'll have a
house that's white house, that's beige house that's like, you know,
a nice warm brown, or a nice, you know, beautiful
color of green. And then there's a pink house or
a purple house. What are these people's in every neighborhood.
There's one in every neighborhood. Yeah, is that a malion disorder?
Speaker 6 (20:29):
It may be, It may be, honestly, you know, I mean,
as a designer, I encourage to for people to let
their freak flag fly as much as possible. But at
the same time, it's like, whoa, whoa, let's just let's
let's have a little respect for the neighbors.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Sure is my point. That's my point. I don't mind.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
You want to go crazy wild pink on the inside
of your house, you know, go for it, because that's
your space. But you know, I always I often bring
up on my show the guy who lives next door
to my mom down in Orange who will remain nameless,
but he built just an atrocity of a home and
it's kind of this weird blue purple color and it's
(21:09):
just like.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Oh my gosh, man, read the room. That's just you
know what reading I've been a big fan of and
we haven't had This is the first time we've really
ever had a chimney. But painting the chimney is a
is a big plus, I think, at least for me,
because the brick chimney will fade, it'll get like mold,
(21:30):
it'll get you know, discolorization. But if you paint it,
you like we painted are as gray or black, I
think that's a nice look.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Yeah, it can be a really nice look. There's nothing
wrong with painting brick, you know, or even painting some stone.
So as long as you're doing it right and doing
the prep and you asked earlier, you know, like can
people do this better these days? And you know, I
include house painting in one of those areas where technically
it's complex because there's a number of steps, right, there's
(21:59):
like ten fifteen steps she could do with them all
in order. But in the end, if you're willing to
follow those instructions and actually do those steps, you don't
actually have to be talented in order to get a
good result. You just gotta follow the steps. And it's true,
you got to put in the elbow grease because prep
is ninety percent. And then when the paint goes on
the wall, you can walk away and you're like, you
(22:20):
know what, you could paint your house as well as
a professional, because you know it's not the Mona Lisa right,
We're not doing van Go. We're just putting color on
a wall. And if you do the steps, you'll get
a good result.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I've always had this argument with my wife, and it's
not the most vicious one I have with her. But
who sees color better? Men or women? Oh? Women? By far?
Speaker 6 (22:42):
It's science. I'm sorry, it's science. Women see color better.
It is a it's a cone structure. And yeah, we're
most likely to see red, right, we are, you and me,
But she sees crimson, burgundy, tomato red. Researchers from Arizona
State University a while back determined that there's a gene that,
(23:05):
especially when it comes to red tones, that allows us
to see red. It sits on the X chromosome, and
since women have two of them, it aids in their
ability to perceive the red orange color spectrum much better.
And in general, women are better at differentiating the clean
between close range of colors, while men are better at
recognizing fine details in a moving object.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
You figure that out. I don't know, quick question. When
Ford first came out with their cars, I've heard this rumor.
I'm not being able to confirm it. They paint them
all black because black paint dries twice as fast. Is
that true.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
I've never heard that in my life, but I'm going
to look it up and I'm going to share it
this weekend whatever I might have to find that on snops.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
I mean, I suppose.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
I suppose if you're parking them mount in the sun
when they're wet, because black absorbs heat faster than I mean,
so I guess in theory that you would heat up
faster and the paint would bribe. But I don't think
there's anything intrinsic in a pigment that makes a paint
dry faster or slower.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Okay, and run at the risk of getting you know,
yelled at because of a free plug. But you and
I share our favorite paint store together. We both have
our favorite paint store. It's the same store.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Benjamin Moore Baby Benjamin More Paints, Catalina paint stores here
and so cal.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
You know, they're the best there. They are the best.
I am. I'm very serious when I say this.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
I went and got Benjamin Moore when I started doing
the show, and I said, guys, I've been using your
paint for like thirty seven years exclusively. Why don't you
come and allow me to just tell the world you know,
and so and that's why they're a partner now on
the show.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, not because so.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
I don't I'm not in favor of Benjamin Moore because
they paid me money. I went out and begged them
to come and be a partner because I don't want
to talk about anybody else's paint.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
Yeah, and I started using it when you were really
talking about it, and now that's all I use because
I absolutely noticed the difference one how it looks, how
easy it is to put on. It's just a difference
that you didn't think there was.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, yeah, the painting process. It's like Butta. It's just
like Butta. And the people at Catalina at the store
are all painters.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
And that's the other thing. You can only buy Benjamin
Moore at professional paint stores like Catalina, which means when
you go in and ask questions of the person behind
the counter. You're not going to get the kid who
was working in garden the garden center like two weeks ago. Right,
You're going to get somebody who is a professional painter,
and they're going to tell you exactly what you need
(25:34):
to know.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
All right, Then one last thing. You and I both
remember builders in porium or your first you know, your
first paint store paint eighteen dollars a gallon. Those days
are over. I couldn't believe it. Eighty five ninety five dollars.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
I bought a Fiji water at Vaughn's today.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
It was six bucks. It's water, I know, BUTDDY appreciate
you coming on. I'll be listening over the weekend. Thanks Tim,
Thanks sir. All Right, there you goes tet and sharp
the house whisper.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
All right, gas prices are about to go through the
roof here in California. They some people are saying they
might go up to eight dollars a gallon, eight bucks
a gallon for gas. Right, don't get mad, but we
could soon be paying more for gas yeah, California.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
A University of Southern California professor says that could be
the case if two refineries close in our state. Phillip
sixty six refinery and Wilmington could close by the end
of the year, which would put push gas prices to
above six dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Okay, that's six bucks. And then if the other one closes,
is it eight?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
And then if the Valero refinery in the Bay Area
closes by the end of the next year, that could
send prices soaring to nine dollars a gallon.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Okay, sorry about that misinformation, Uh, fake news. I was wrong.
It's not eight dollars a gallon. Sorry, it's nine dollars
a gallon. Nine dollars a gallon.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
That could send prices soaring to nine dollars a gallon.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
A reduction in supply, yeah, relatively stable demand, and more
layering on of legislative costs. I wonder if that's going
to be the straw that broke the camel's back in California.
I wonderful, all riot in the streets if we're paying
nine dollars for a gallon of gas belly, Oh, you
drive fifty miles one way and then you drive fifty
(27:36):
miles the other way. Thanks, one hundred miles a day.
Nine dollars a gallon will kill you.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
That would not be good. It'd wipe you out, it
would wipe me out. Yeah, so we've got to do
something about that. And no, it's not you staying at home.
That's not going on.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
But Belly, I'll tell you why you can't because we
got a huge compliment from David the teacher, David Watson. Yeah, yeah,
what do you say?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
He?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (28:06):
He said that he really enjoyed you. No, you and
I are banter back and forth.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Okay. And then what he thought I had pretty pretty
good sense of humor okay. And then what did you
tell him?
Speaker 8 (28:18):
I told him that I am the Carol Burnet of Radie.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
That's right. And I used to remember what used to
be embarrassed and ashamed to say that. Now you lead
with that. I've embraced it. I see what people saw. Yeah,
and sometimes you introduce yourself how I'm Carol, I mean,
I'm sorry, I'm Sharon. God did I say Carol, I'm sorry?
Speaker 8 (28:39):
It slips occasional, Yes, Carol would have done that.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
So it's okay. I've heard from your husband John. I
don't want to say it's on the air, but I
don't want to say it off the air because I'm embarrassed.
You're working on a Tarzan call.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
Yeah, that'sat scratch.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Okay, I think we're using the line. I don't. You
don't think so? No, I think we are all right.

(29:20):

Speaker 8 (29:26):
I know, right, and you know what the Fush will
tell you when when he gave you the math answer
when you asked that was a fabulous question you asked him,
and Fush goes, that's.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
The best answer I've ever heard.
Speaker 9 (29:38):
I mean, it's the one time and all the time
that I've been in school and when they're just like,
when are we going to use this? Then you can
never give you like a straight answer. That was the
most thoughtful, insightful answer I've ever heard of any teacher ever.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Oh that's great. That was really cool.
Speaker 9 (29:52):
So that guy is definitely he he definitely belongs in
teaching because he definitely cares about the kids.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Right, and you know what's unfort He's got three weeks left, yeah,
I know, and then that's a wrap. He's done and.
