Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, thank you, ma'am. John for Aja in the morning
quickie on ninety a rock brought to you by Barto Ford.
All Right, weatherwise, it's like it's going to be a
nice day, breezy again. Hi have eighty eight around the
Bay area with a chance of rain, maybe a sunshower
this afternoon. But the big story is coming up as
(00:21):
we approached the weekend, where we've got this coal front
coming in here, AJ where it looks like a Bucks
game day. Look talking like eighty four something like that,
eighty four to eighty six with temperatures at nighttime in
the mid sixties. So let's break out the snowshovels.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Let's go, That's what I'm talking about. Maybe use some
sleeves when you're sitting there over at ray j A,
how about that.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
The government shut down is beginning to impact US air travel.
We've been talking about it all week, you know, due
to federal workers, specifically air traffic controllers working without pay
and calling out sick. Now it has caused all sorts
of shortages and also caused the FA to reduce the
number of takeoffs and landings to ensure safety, which is
(01:04):
obviously directly causing delays as well as those cancelations. We've
been seeing affected locations including some of the largest airports,
biggest major ones in the US and even cities like Nashville, Boston, Dallas,
Chicago and Philly, Atlanta and Houston, just to name a few.
Now because of this, they also say it's a real
threat to the Rural Air Service. The EAS the Essential
(01:26):
Air Service is a program that subsidizes flights to small
rural communities. And while it's going to be running out
of money soon now that program guarantees two daily round
trips on small planes from remote airports to nearby major hubs.
That connects everybody and all the essential resources. But now
with it running out on money, it's actually threatening a
(01:48):
loss of running those mines. Yeah, which could affect sixty
five communities for instance in Alaska, as well as one
hundred and twelve communities in the mainland US as well
as Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, crazy for real. Also, we now know who was
responsible for starting the Palisides fire over in la earlier
this year, twenty nine year old former Uber driver Jonathan Rinderneck.
He was arrested in Florida in connection with starting the fire,
which is one of the most He's here now. He
(02:24):
has since relocated to Florida since this all happened. Authorities
alleged that he maliciously started the fire on New Year's Day.
Firefighters suppressed it, but it continued to smolder underground until
January seventh, when the heavy winds caused it to reignite
and spread as the larger destructive Palisades Fire, which was
one of the most in LA history that killed twelve people.
(02:45):
In January. Apparently, he had just finished working as an
uber driver, and two passengers noted that he appeared agitated
and angry. The criminal complete states that he drove to
the Skull Rock trailhead, listened to music with fiery imagery,
and took videos just before the fire started wow on cameras.
(03:06):
He also attempted to call nine one one when the
fire began, but could not get through. He eventually reached
an operator, reported the fire then fled, but then turned
around to follow and took video of all the responding
fire trucks.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Geez, yeah, all that that damage, all those lives and houses?
Yeah off this one guy. Yeah, unbelievable, all right.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Unbelievable, but in the good sense. Bus dickinsond. You know,
he performed the national anthem prior to an NFL game
and it was so good that well, the La Kings
asked him to provide that same service for their home
opener and actually went down last night. Of course, he
did a good one before hockey, which, by the way,
Go Bolts. They start their season tonight.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
We'll have that audio for you a little later.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
On too, something we do have right now. Jeene Simmons
recuperating at home after he was involved in a crash
yesterday in Malibu, according to his wife, Shannon. Local news
reports there said that he had told authorities that he
either passed out or fainted prior to the accident. Now,
according to his wife, his few suv crossed several lanes
of traffic before striking a part car. He was transported
(04:16):
to a local hospital for treatment and was released. He's
apparently already back to work and it's going to be
doing just fine.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Check all your bibles, you know, genes and his vitals
and stuff like that. He's okay.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
That's when they put that little like popsicle thing in
his mouth and his tongue comes out.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
It's like they may they might need a few of
them to do all that.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
He looks able.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And according to a new report, the average person is
paid around one hundred and fifty dollars in tips that
they're not totally comfortable with just over the past year,
which to me that number seems low.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Ah yeah, and what are these.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Totally uncomfortable things? Well, situations where you don't think a
tip should be expected, like for an oil change or
dog or t shirt stand. When you feel pressured into
tipping for more than you want, like at a casual
counter service restaurant, maybe for a ride share. Yeah, things
of that nature, Or when you end up tipping for
(05:13):
bad service because well it's customary, or maybe you get
caught up because now they're all all of a sudden
starting the tips at like twenty five, twenty eight, thirty percent.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
You're like, wait, what what customs? Custom did I just zero?
Play stupid games when stupid prize.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Is there's a list of actually celebrities that are the
best and worst tippers historically here that came out. It's
pretty interesting there.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah. For instance, Elvis Presley was one hell of a tipper.
He once left what five one thousand dollars plus a
large tip on top of that. They said that he
did things like that all the time.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I was just talking to one of our dude's flips
said he used to serve a rod bagels down in Miami.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Bad tipper. Oh really, Oh no, tell me about that.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Somebody that was good, Steve Kerroll, he makes the good list.
He and his family were kind and down to earth
and always a pleasure to serve.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I was surprised. On the battle list. Tina Fey says
she was demanding and smoked a cigarette at the outdoor table.
Even when she was asked to stop. She left ten
percent for the tip.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Oh man, come on, man.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Hate to hear her too.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And apparently somebody that's not so good, no tipping Pippin,
Scotty Pippen.
