1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: It's kf I AM six forty and you're listening to 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 2: I'm feeling very Christmas. 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 3: Ye, they've they did something very smart here at the 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 3: big iHeart Radio complex. By the way, we are at 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 3: iHeart Radio, and that's why the app works so well, 7 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 3: because it's the iHeartRadio app where KFI AM six forty 8 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 3: and we are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, it 9 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 3: is the Conway Show. 10 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: Tim is away, Mark Thompson sitting in. 11 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 3: One of the things they did smartly I feel here 12 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 3: at the iHeartRadio mother ship is they pulled back a 13 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 3: little bit on the over the top filling of the 14 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 3: tree with ornaments. I mean, I think you know again 15 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 3: you can you gotta be careful. There is a design 16 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 3: touch to Christmas or holiday ornaments. You get the tree. 17 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 3: All the trees that iHeart gets very nice, tasteful trees, 18 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 3: but they can sometimes, you know, when you're the decorator 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 3: of the tree, you can oversteer a little bit, end 20 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 3: up with a little too much in the way of 21 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 3: those huge ball bles and you I mean again, tastefully placed. 22 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 3: They're wonderful, but if you over ballble. It is a 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: terribly difficult thing to sort of back away from. You 24 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 3: kind of almost have to start all over. But in 25 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: years past there has been I think, and I have 26 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 3: sort of because it's not really in the spirit of 27 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 3: the holiday to be at all critical of a tree. 28 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 3: I have laid off on my criticism, but I do 29 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 3: note it, and I've seen and talked to others who 30 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 3: do note it. And this year, beautiful trees perfect, not 31 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 3: too much and also not too little, not too spartan, 32 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: not too too vacant, gorgeous tree in the lobby. And 33 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 3: then of course we have a tree right here in 34 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: the studio, mere feet from where I sit, and it's perfect. 35 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 3: It's festooned with all of the magic of the holidays. 36 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 3: So wherever you are, take us with you. Tomorrow will 37 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 3: be an extremely wet day and begins what will be 38 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 3: a series of incredibly wet days. I'm talking about rain 39 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 3: that will likely produce some evacuations, maybe some mud slides, 40 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 3: et cetera. So we're watching all of that, and particularly 41 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 3: in the burnscarred areas. You note that northern California, if 42 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 3: you may be heading up there, I know a lot 43 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 3: of people do head up to Northern California for the holiday, 44 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 3: they are already being pounded, so definitely check on the 45 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 3: situation in northern California before you travel there. There's a 46 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 3: huge line that is building up behind and around some 47 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 3: businesses in southern California. And the reason is everything to 48 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 3: do with these business is going away having announced that 49 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: they're closing, and what this crowd that really wants to 50 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 3: get one more lick at these businesses will tend to 51 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: do to again avoid fomo, you know, fear of missing out. 52 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 3: So for example, I mean Cole's is a perfect example 53 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 3: in downtown because that French dip place, they saw crowds 54 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 3: wrapped around the entire block at sixth in Maine, they 55 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: announced that they're closing, and you know, this is the 56 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 3: city's oldest restaurant in saloon and you had these long 57 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: lines all around it. A few months before that, the 58 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: Original Pantry Cafe again, another century old diner in downtown, 59 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: huge lines when they abruptly closed that restaurant. So as 60 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: local restaurants are facing challenges to remain open, there's a 61 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 3: weird thing that happens because these restaurants that obviously aren't 62 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 3: doing sufficient business to remain open. That's why they're having 63 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 3: to sort of swim upstream against this current economically that 64 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 3: is making the restaurant business so tough. When they announce 65 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: that they can't continue anymore, they all of a sudden 66 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 3: get huge crowds. Papa Christo's seventy seven years as the 67 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 3: Greek restaurant that closed its doors forever, they had a 68 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 3: line that stretched down Pico and you end up with 69 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 3: social media influencers who also help supercharge all of this. 70 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 3: It's just a wild phenomenon, I guess it would be 71 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 3: the word I'd use. So you have a bit of 72 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 3: nostalgia and you have a bit of of fomo all 73 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: happening at the same time, and there is something of 74 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: a cultural event to this. Said Moses. The owner of Coals, 75 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 3: said that the long lines the restaurant experience after announcing 76 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 3: their closure were overwhelming in the best way possible. We 77 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 3: love the city and the support had shown us, and 78 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 3: we appreciate people waiting in line. The crowds in the 79 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 3: initial days after Coal's closure announcement prompted him Moses to 80 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 3: delay closing by forty five days, and then again they 81 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: delayed it until November first. 82 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: And then again they delayed it. 83 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: It's still open now until December thirty first. So this 84 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: surge of customers that hit Cole's has kept them open 85 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: for months longer, but will not sustain business in the 86 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 3: long term. And so it looks as though, I mean, 87 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 3: they're trying to sell Coals to try to preserve the 88 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 3: legacy of Coals. You know, it's been around for all 89 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 3: those years, as we've said. But once again it looks 90 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 3: as though they will close, although right now they're open 91 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 3: until December thirty first. Another restaurant that drew huge lines 92 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 3: was the original Pantry Cafe. They are announcing they're reopening 93 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: new ownership there and they are crediting workers for staging 94 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: protests and getting fundraisers going that drew public attention, and 95 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 3: it's really exciting. This is happening in parts of the 96 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: city where there are restaurants so strained financially that they're 97 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 3: being helped by these like go fund me campaigns, is 98 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: really what they are. And so legendary places are kept 99 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 3: open because of the commitment of the neighborhood. 100 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 2: But since. 101 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 3: I think you can point to COVID as having hobbled 102 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: a restaurant business, that's already pretty tough to keep going, 103 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 3: you know, but it's a it's a continued slide, you know. 104 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 3: In a new industry survey I saw this is close 105 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 3: to night sorry, close to eighty five percent of LA 106 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: restaurant said that business went down in twenty twenty five, 107 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 3: and twenty twenty five has been a rough year, a 108 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: really rough year for the restaurant business. A lot of 109 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: things go into keeping a restaurant open, and a lot 110 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 3: of things go into that which produces a closure. I'm 111 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: looking at Helm's Bakery in Culver City. Anybody who's been 112 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: through Culver City knows this is a huge, huge place. 113 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 3: They announced in early December they're going to be closing 114 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 3: the Longtime Restaurant Tour, announcing a number of factors, but 115 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 3: chief among them, he says, affordability is an operator an 116 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,239 Speaker 3: inconsistent consumer spending. He said, the forces that we don't 117 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 3: control might be bigger than the ones we do control. 118 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 3: With very few exceptions, there are few people doing okay. 119 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 3: There's a kind of malaise in town. It feels like 120 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: LA really lost a couple of steps. Late Night is gone, 121 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: he says, people are closing earlier. It just doesn't feel right. 122 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 3: I grew up here, he says, and it's probably the 123 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: weirdest it's felt in my whole life, and I've been 124 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 3: through a lot of weird The The reality I think 125 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 3: also of this town, and I mentioned this before on KFI, 126 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 3: is that you know we've taken some body blows. You know, 127 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: the January fires had a huge effect. Hollywood moving out 128 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 3: of town has a huge effect. We're just not the 129 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: production center that we were. The immigration raids, they didn't help, 130 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 3: downtown curfews. I mean, these are all things that affect 131 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 3: these businesses. Tariffs, teriffs decimated these businesses in large measure. 132 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 3: Rising utility costs that too, and general inflation. And you 133 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 3: can add the declining numbers when it comes to tourism 134 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: in Southern California. I mean, that's. 135 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 2: A huge, huge. 136 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: Influx of tourists who come to Hollywood and Southern California 137 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 3: for all kinds of different reasons. And over the summer, 138 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 3: international tourism fell eight percent. So there's a lot that's 139 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 3: wrong right now with the local economy in Southern California. 140 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 3: And we hope that the new year brings signs of 141 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: better things ahead, some stability and maybe a reinfusion of money, 142 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 3: frankly and a thrive. 143 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: Economy into southern California. 144 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 3: So meantime, people are lining up for the final days 145 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: of many of these restaurants, Coles among them. 146 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 4: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kfi 147 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 148 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 3: On KFIM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio ad 149 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 3: Mark Thompson sitting in for Tim Conway Junior. What's going 150 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: on with the Reiner case? I mean, it's just a brutal, awful, 151 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 3: terribly depressing story. Rob Reiner and his wife who is 152 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: madly in love with apparently Michelle Reiner, I mean again, 153 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 3: family friends gathering to mourn privately. Prosecutors now moving forward 154 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 3: with this first degree murder charge against their son, Nick Reiner. 155 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 3: It's a legal process now that I mean just I 156 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: suppose on some level defies the pain. But there are 157 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 3: questions about sentencing, the death penalty, how California handles these 158 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 3: high profile double homicide cases. 159 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: Here's little of what's going in the. 160 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 5: Week since the death of Hollywood icon Rob Reiner and 161 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 5: his wife Michelle. NBC News has learned more about the 162 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 5: mental state of Nick Reiner before prosecutors say he fatally 163 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 5: stabbed his famous parents. Three sources with direct knowledge of 164 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 5: the case tell NBC News the thirty two year old 165 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 5: was being treated for a serious psychiatric disorder at the 166 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 5: time of the crime. The sources say Reiner, who had 167 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 5: been open about his struggles with substance abuse, was diagnosed 168 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 5: with schizophrenia several years ago, and that his medication had 169 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 5: been changed or adjusted sometime before the killings. Hours before 170 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 5: the bodies were found, Nick Reiner had been disruptive at 171 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 5: a holiday party at Conan O'Brien's home, according to two 172 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 5: people familiar with the situation. He's now facing two counts 173 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 5: a first degree murder. Reiner did not enter a plea 174 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 5: in his first court appearance last week, where his attorney 175 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 5: urged the public not to rush to judgment. 176 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: There are very, very complex and serious issues that are 177 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: associated with this case. 178 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 5: Experts say Reiner's mental health is not only likely to 179 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 5: be at the center of his legal defense, but but 180 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 5: also impact the potential for the case to go to trial. 181 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 6: Looking at Nick Reiner's mental state right now could actually 182 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 6: stop these proceedings in their tracks. If he's not deemed 183 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 6: competent to stand trial. And move forward with the legal proceedings. 184 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 3: It's always interesting to me when they get to this 185 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: competence to stand trial question, because you know, some of 186 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 3: these people who are ruled not competent to stand trial. 187 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 3: Some of these people who are ruled who are essentially 188 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 3: focused upon to at least evaluate their mental state and 189 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 3: whether or not they're competent to stand trial, some of 190 00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 3: these people plan quite intricate stalking that precedes the murder 191 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: in this case. I'm sorry, just it's a cold blooded 192 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: fact that this is murder. I mean, you know, I 193 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 3: think there's a lot of emotion here. This person is 194 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 3: clearly someone who's come on glued, and so in all 195 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 3: of these ways, you could say it was a crime 196 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 3: of emotion, or an act of emotion, or horrifying decision 197 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 3: made out of emotion passion instead, a crime of passion 198 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: is always the term that's used. But I guess what 199 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 3: I'm getting at is there is this odd standard we 200 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 3: have to evaluate whether someone's competent to stand trial. They 201 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: seemed perfectly competent to plan what can oftentimes be a 202 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 3: complex waiting for their victims, and then the act of murder. 203 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 3: It's an extraordinary thing that It strikes me as a legal. 204 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 2: Limbo move that they all try. 205 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 3: To maneuver to get under to get their client a 206 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 3: softer treatment by the US legal system. This is a 207 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 3: long way of saying that we've seen it over and 208 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 3: over again, and I understand maybe a legitimate question in 209 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 3: many instances, and what they're suggesting here is, Hey, if 210 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 3: the guy was diagnosed with schizophrenia, then the entire thing 211 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 3: falls into this category of he didn't have the mental 212 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 3: competence to make a decision as to how much harm 213 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: he would do or to really understand the repercussions of 214 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 3: what he did. Look, I'm tough on law and order. 215 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 3: This is a pretty awful thing. I mean, I can't 216 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 3: think of things is that really are much more awful 217 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 3: than what he did. But the idea that you could 218 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 3: somehow use this loophole and you could use this hook 219 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 3: to hang what would be lighter treatment under the law, 220 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,119 Speaker 3: it strikes me as pretty gross. I mean, you've already 221 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 3: taken a grotesque act and you've begun to try to 222 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 3: muddy the water around competence to stand trial Again. I 223 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 3: don't see how you get to competence to stand trial. 224 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: I mean, but I understand. What they're going to say is, hey, 225 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 3: guy was schizophrenic, you know, and for that reason he 226 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 3: may have not had been in his right mind. 227 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 2: Well obviously wasn't in his right mind. I don't know. 228 00:15:54,920 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 3: To me, it's just it's obviously profoundly sad. But the 229 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: way the legal system, you know, finds these ways to 230 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 3: you know, to hip check into some kind of other area, 231 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 3: to get clients who are guilty of cold blooded murder 232 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 3: into some sort of softer treatment, it astounds me. It's 233 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 3: not just about Nick Reiner, it's about the system. 234 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 6: Itself to stand trial and move forward with the legal proceedings. 235 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 5: Now, with their autopsies completed, the bodies of Rob and 236 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 5: Michelle Reiner have been returned to their family. Over the weekend, 237 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 5: Saturday Night Live paying tribute to the comedy legend, sharing 238 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 5: this photo of Reiner, the show's third ever host, back 239 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 5: in nineteen seventy five. 240 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 2: A lot of you are wondering about the way I 241 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: look tonight. This is the way I look live, ladies 242 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 2: and gentlemen, This is the real me. 243 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 5: In the New York Times, friends and relatives, also remembering 244 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 5: the love of his life, Michelle, an accomplished photographer, whom 245 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 5: they described as equal parts mama Bear, social planner and 246 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 5: glue of the family. Liz, just giving these new details 247 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 5: that you just laid out there about Nick Reiner's condition, 248 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 5: possible that he could plead not guilty by reason of insanity. Yeah, 249 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 5: I mean, we should point out that his attorney has 250 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 5: not commented on any potential legal strategy, but according to experts, 251 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 5: the short answer is yes. However, they also know that 252 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 5: insanity is a very high bar to successfully plead. Any 253 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 5: action that he potentially took to cover up the crime, 254 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 5: like hiding a murder weapon, which by the way, has 255 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 5: still not been found, washing or changing clothes, all of 256 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 5: that can undercut that defense. 257 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 2: I guess that's what I'm saying. 258 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 3: I mean, if there seemed to be some question of 259 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 3: whether or not there's legitimacy here to this whole issue 260 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 3: of competence to stand trial, or whatever other way in 261 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 3: which you're looking at a psychological profile to try to 262 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 3: in any way soften the blow of the legal system, 263 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 3: it would seem to me to be blunted. 264 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 2: That is to say, it would seem to me to 265 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: be counterfeited. 266 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 3: By the fact that the guys hiding the murder weapon 267 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 3: checking into a hotel afterward. I mean, there's a real 268 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 3: I don't know, this is someone deeply disturbed, to say 269 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 3: the least, and to say the obvious, but I just 270 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 3: don't know how the legal system can permit this kind 271 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,959 Speaker 3: of search for loopholes when it comes to all of this. 272 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 3: It's so, so very sad. But that's the update on 273 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 3: the rob and Michelle Reiner murder and the son Nick 274 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 3: as well. When we come back, Yeah, we'll be talking 275 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 3: about it. Swarms of earthquakes rattling the state of California. 276 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 3: There were four on Friday night. I'll give you the 277 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 3: state of the state on all of this as we continue. 278 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 3: Mark Thompson for Tim Conway Junior. We are on Christmas Week. 279 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 4: Watch you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from 280 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty. 281 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 3: Mark Thompsons sitting in for Tim Conway Junior.

We've got the crew here in 283 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 3: fact that Mark Ronner has jumped into the news chair. 284 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 3: Magic Matt is in the chair for wasn't there a 285 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 3: DJ named Magic Matt? I feel like there was a 286 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 3: d like this, probably before your time, but no here 287 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 3: in southern California. There was a DJ called Magic Matt. 288 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 3: I just realized this, like a Shadow Stevens did, like 289 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 3: Shadows Stevens. Yeah, Magic met Are. 290 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 2: You Matt Allen? 291 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 3: Magic Matt Allen? Now that's exactly what I was thinking of. 292 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 3: Magic Matt Allen. And so he had, as I recalled, 293 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 3: toward the end of his run, he had like a 294 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 3: show after he was on broadcast. I believe he had 295 00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 3: a show on Sirious and UH satellite radio and it 296 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 3: was like this party at his house and it always 297 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 3: sounded like I have no idea if there was really 298 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 3: a party going on, but it was a great little 299 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 3: hook so that you know, they're all his friends are there, 300 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 3: they're barbecuing, and you know, he always made it sound 301 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 3: like and then he supported with social media stuff that 302 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 3: made it look they can party too. 303 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: Anyway, That was Magic Matt. We have our own Magic Matt. 304 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 3: Who was in the producer chair and of course Staffusch 305 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 3: now getting stronger every hour, and we get together during 306 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 3: the commercial breaks and we compare medications and it's wonderful. 307 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 3: Traditionally we have for the holidays, and you know, again, 308 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 3: if you're looking for the perfect gift for someone with 309 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 3: you know, aches and pains, just saying and Angel Martinez 310 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 3: watching all things on the roads, and as I mentioned, 311 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 3: the roads will be getting trickier by the day. It 312 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 3: looks like Tuesday through Friday, we've got serious rain. 313 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: What is that, Angel I said, Oh, oh. 314 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm talking about earthquakes, because there have been 315 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 3: a series of them, like these clusters that I'm been 316 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 3: affecting the East Bay of San Francisco, and seismic experts 317 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 3: acknowledge that sometimes swarms of quakes precede major quakes, but 318 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 3: oftentimes also small quakes don't necessarily foreshadow a larger quake. 319 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: So with that shading on both sides, we. 320 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 7: Now I want to show you a short little history. 321 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 7: Let's come in for the closer monitor be a little 322 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 7: bit easier to see. You're looking at the last thirty 323 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 7: days of earthquake history. This is from a great website 324 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 7: called temblar dot net. They're San Ramon, so you've got. 325 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 2: Some several. 326 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 3: Wait wait wait, San Ramon's in the East Bay again 327 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 3: of the San Francisco Bay area. Just to organize your thoughts, 328 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 3: they're looking at these clusters that are occurring in northern California, 329 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 3: but it does relate to southern California, so stay with them. 330 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 7: So you've got multiple earthquakes on here. They're color coded. 331 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 7: The deeper the shade of red on here are earthquakes 332 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 7: that have happened within. 333 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: The last day. 334 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 7: You can see the four Devin just told you about 335 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 7: congregated here. But then these shade into lighter colors and 336 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 7: when you get into the yellow those so the. 337 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 2: Four have weren San Ramon in that East Bay community. 338 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 7: When you get into the yellow, those are earthquakes that 339 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 7: happened thirty days ago. This swarm has continued now for 340 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 7: a month, and it's going right up along the Pleasanton 341 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 7: Fault and it runs right along one of the major 342 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 7: avenues there through this part of town, Acosta Avenue. 343 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: Okay, this again is in the East Bay of the 344 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: Bay Area. 345 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 2: Up north. 346 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 7: There's been a just kind of congregation of them right 347 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 7: along that drive there on southeast San Ramon. By the way, 348 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 7: there's the four. This was enough to feel, not enough 349 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 7: to do damage or four point zero. You're going to 350 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 7: feel it. And when we look at what the US 351 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 7: just has to say about people who did report this 352 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 7: through the region. Some people even said they felt it 353 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 7: in the city, but it was felt very light. 354 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 2: They no damage from this. 355 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 7: There is no reason to believe that this swarm tells 356 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 7: us anything about the Pleasanton fault, where the likelihood of 357 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 7: stronger ones to come, the odds of a significant earthquake 358 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 7: are exactly the same tonight as they were six months ago, 359 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 7: all right, And that's what the size malogs have been 360 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 7: telling us about this. By the way, Yeah, the seventh 361 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 7: time since nineteen seventy that San Ramon has experienced a 362 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 7: swarm like this. 363 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: This happens. That's fun in San Ramon, I guess up 364 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 2: there in the Bay Area. 365 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 3: But the point is that while none of these quakes 366 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 3: has been particularly intense. I mean, he was just talking 367 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 3: about the fact that it's three point nine Saturday night. 368 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 3: You know that four struck on Friday night all through 369 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 3: this area. We've had similar swarms in Malibu and Ontario. 370 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 2: And the idea is. 371 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 3: I mean, just to be honest about it, that the 372 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 3: more frequent there's seismic activity, the more frequent these even 373 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,959 Speaker 3: smaller quakes, the more we at least think about the 374 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 3: possibility of a big quake. And again it's very true 375 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 3: that there can be small quakes and even quake clusters 376 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 3: that can foreshadow a bigger quake, but there's also no 377 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 3: guarantee that that's going to happen, and there's a very 378 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 3: very good chance that it won't correspond anyway. But I 379 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 3: mean California, regardless of whether there are clusters of shakes 380 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 3: or small shakers or big clusters, there is an overarching specter, 381 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 3: you know, just a threat that there could be a 382 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 3: big quake in southern California. And they rate and again 383 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 3: this is geological averages. This is sort of what goes 384 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 3: into the computations of all the computer modeling associated with 385 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 3: the geolo of earthquakes, the seismology. There's a sixty percent 386 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 3: chance of an earthquake of magnitude six point seven or 387 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 3: greater in the LA region by twenty forty three. I 388 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 3: know what you're saying, I want to get out of 389 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 3: the LA Region. I want to move to northern California. 390 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 3: Not that fast. Let me finish. In northern California, there's 391 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 3: a seventy two percent chance of it happening. You actually 392 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 3: go up by twelve percent when you move to the 393 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 3: San Francisco Bay area. And again these are thirty year 394 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 3: estimates calculated by USGS and across California, they say a 395 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 3: forty eight percent chance of magnitude seven point five or 396 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 3: greater by twenty forty three, and a seven percent chance 397 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 3: of a magnitude eight or greater. I mean seven point 398 00:25:54,040 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 3: five would be devastating. And they're saying there's a got 399 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 3: forty eight percent chance a flip of a coin that 400 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 3: that could happen by twenty forty three. The last thing 401 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 3: I'll share with you is this other piece of statistic, 402 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 3: which I think is always interesting because every time there 403 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 3: is a quake, I'm always wondering, as you might be, 404 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 3: is that a foreshock of a bigger quake? And the 405 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 3: aftershocks Those of who have been in California for a while, 406 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 3: you know, they can really rock your world. So after 407 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 3: a big quake, the after shocks can be almost as 408 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 3: intense and destructive. After every earthquake, there is a one 409 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 3: in twenty chance it'll be followed by a larger quake. 410 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 3: Only half of earthquakes have an easily detectable foreshock, the 411 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 3: other half do not. So again, a lot of statistics there. 412 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 3: I think some statistics you can use and integrate into 413 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 3: your life. They always talk about prep and One of 414 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 3: the reasons that we do stories like this is to 415 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 3: remind you you should try to prep because it may 416 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 3: be in the case of a big one, it could 417 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 3: be a while before you know, the Red Cross shows 418 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 3: up with hot coffee and donuts. So you definitely need 419 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 3: to at least be aware. And these clusters of quakes 420 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 3: that are affecting California right now again, seismologists say there's 421 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 3: no corresponding threat, but they remind us and make us 422 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 3: look again at some of these statistics. 423 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 2: So there you have it. It is the Conway. 424 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 3: Sure y'all like to scare everybody right before Christmas? 425 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 2: Yeah right, nice work. I'm all cleansed out under your trees, everybody. 426 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 2: It's going to be a wild ride. 427 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 3: Biblical apocalyptic rains starts tomorrow and we'll be lucky if 428 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 3: we avoid a quake before New Year's There's one more 429 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 3: for you. 430 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: If you go up all the way north to Seattle, 431 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 2: they're due for a nine point zero Oh my, so 432 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 2: go inland, don't go north. Wow, why do you think 433 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 2: I moved here? Oh man? 434 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 4: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI 435 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 436 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 3: Fine, I'll tell you the window of severe weather seems 437 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 3: to be sliding a bit, so it looks like Tomorrow 438 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 3: will be kind of a cloudy day. I'm just seeing 439 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 3: the latest with some rain beginning, scattered showers time thing, 440 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 3: and then it looks like things pick up a little 441 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 3: bit more. So when they say rain beginning Tuesday, I 442 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 3: mean the real biblical rain that's going to leave the 443 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 3: two inches you know where you're saying, ok, an inch 444 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 3: an hour, we gotta have two inches an hour. 445 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 2: All of that. 446 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 3: It appears as though it may be delayed by twelve 447 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 3: or eighteen hours, as it seems to But this is 448 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 3: going to be one of those things that's going to 449 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 3: be updated by the forecast shift. So I'd look forward 450 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 3: to be upget dated later tonight, even the timing. But 451 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 3: the point is, and the takeaway, as the kids say, 452 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 3: the takeaway, your takeaway is that it's going to really 453 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 3: be rocking and rolling and wet and very wet here 454 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 3: in southern California in this period late tomorrow night through 455 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 3: the end of the week. Can you imagine what you 456 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 3: do with one point six billion dollars that's the estimated 457 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 3: jackpot for the power Ball, fourth largest jackpot in Powerball history, 458 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,239 Speaker 3: and I know you know that you have almost no 459 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 3: chance of winning. And yet when it gets up to 460 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 3: this level, what happens We all go, I know, we 461 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 3: don't really a bunch of a chance, and I'm going 462 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 3: to go, you know, take a nibble. Twenty four percent 463 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 3: goes to Uncle Sam right off the top. You know, Uh, 464 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 3: that's a big hunk. Then you'll have to decide between 465 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 3: annuity payments spread over thirty years, and that lump some 466 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 3: would be then seven hundred and thirty five million dollars 467 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 3: before taxes. It could be though a massive change of lifestyle. 468 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 8: It was no winner in Saturday Nights drawing, so the 469 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 8: powerball prize is now projected to hit one point six 470 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 8: billion dollars for today's draw. That makes it the fourth 471 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 8: largest powerball jackpot ever in the fifth largest lottery jackpot. 472 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 2: In US history. 473 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 8: And while no one hit all six numbers, there was 474 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 8: a big winner right here in southern California. That's because 475 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 8: one ticket sold at Rights Market in Oxnard matched all 476 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 8: five white balls, just missing the powerball, and that ticket 477 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 8: it's worth more than two million bucks. I'd say that's 478 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 8: pretty good, right. The store also gets a bonus. 479 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 2: Because I mean it's pretty good. But let's be honest. 480 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 3: You get all six numbers, but you just missed the 481 00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 3: powerball number. 482 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 2: You're thinking. Don't get me wrong. 483 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not not looking down at two million, 484 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 3: but I came that close to a billion plugs. 485 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 8: For more than two million bucks, I'd say that's pretty good, right. 486 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 8: The store also gets a bonus because they sold the ticket. 487 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 8: They get eleven five hundred dollars now kire Bluebird Liquor. 488 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 8: This store has earned a reputation over the years for 489 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 8: producing winners. Regulars will tell you there's even a ritual 490 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 8: which is exactly what it sounds like, kind of rubbing 491 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 8: the lucky Bluebird statue right next to the cash register. 492 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 3: One of the one of the things I love is 493 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 3: watching those morning shows where they throw out to the 494 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 3: reporter there. I was one. I was on Good to La. 495 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 3: You know, I wasn't a reporter out there, but they 496 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 3: would send you know, the I guess, send some stuff. 497 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 3: We go out there to various things.
