(00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you'relistening to The Conway Show on demand on
the iHeartRadio app. Malibu. It'sbeen in the news a lot lately because
it's a very dangerous, dangerous highwayPCH Civic Coast Highway. A lot of
people get wiped out because cars aregoing eighty ninety hundred miles an hour,
(00:22):
and even if they're not, evenif they're going the speed limit, it's
like getting on a freeway every day. And if you live on PCH,
you dread getting in the car anddriving anywhere because it's so difficult to navigate,
even at night, and especially onholiday weekends when people are drinking and
driving, you could see some horrificI'll bet almost anybody and everybody who lives
(00:45):
in Malibu has either seen personally orheard of an accident or maybe even physically
heard it while it happened. Buteverybody in Malibu knows somebody who's been affected
by an accident or saw an actthat near their house or in front of
their home. Almost everybody, andsome multiple you know, something happens once
(01:06):
a month. So they got toslow traffic down on PCH. Let's find
out how they're going to do it. As we are standing next to the
Ghost Tire Memorial where the sign sayssixty people since twenty ten have lost their
lives and crashes along this stretch ofPacific Coast Highway. And the bottom line
is this making PCH safer has todeal with speed. Take a look.
(01:29):
You may recall last year tragically fourPepperdine students were killed in a crash.
The driver, according to investigators,was traveling on Pacific Coast Highway well north
of one hundred miles per hour atthe time of the crash. Today,
Stay local officials announced to program toeducate you know, when you're when you're
driving to Vegas and you're driving onehundred miles an hour, you really feel
(01:52):
like you're moving, and you're ona two lane highway in the middle of
the desert and nobody's around. Andwhen you're going one hundred miles an hour,
man, you feel, especially ifyou drive an older car, you
feel that that car is moving.But one hundred miles an hour on PCH
with all those twists and turns,and all the people that live on PCH
and the you know, the kidsthat are walking around riding bike skateboards.
(02:14):
It's it's it's crazy, it's it'sinsanity. It really truly is today's stay.
Local officials and ouns to program toeducate travelers along Pacific Coast Highway to
slow down. The campaign, aswas mentioned, it is called go Safely
on PCH. And here's a ruleof thumb too. Anybody that drives around
the city at one hundred miles anhour is not only a huge a hole
(02:38):
on the road, but in theirpersonal and private life major a hole as
well. That's uh. After meetingsome people who drive quickly, that's my
conclusion. The people who drive onehundred miles an hour on Magnolia, you
know, Victory Balbo or wherever itis. You're driving that quick, that
(03:01):
fast, You're an a hole.You don't care about yourself or anybody else
around. That's true. Cal Trendsannounced that it's already spent millions on improvements
along the twenty one mile stretch ofthe scenic highway through Malibroo. Those improvements
include scienage about the speed limit.It's forty five forty five miles an hour
(03:22):
on PCH. Who's ever done that? It's forty five From the law enforcement
and HP is now helping the EliCounty Sheriffs Department with enforcement. Thousands of
tickets, most for speeding, havealready been written so far this year,
and according to the CHP, thenumber of crashes is down fifteen percent from
last year. That's go because ofthose tickets. All right, that's cool,
(03:44):
Maybe that's the way to do it. You know, people hit them
in their pocketbook, but most ofthe people living in Malibu are millionaires or
billionaires. I don't care about athree hundred dollar traffic ticket. The city
of Melibou reached out to us andwe partnered with them to a task force
consisting of three officers and a sergeantto enforce traffic violations on pch Now now
(04:06):
we're talking to Chief Young after thepress conference. The City of Malibu and
CHP they're working on a long termplan to basically add more officers La County
Sheriff's Department. They're the ones incharge of patrolling this stretch of Pacific Coast
Highway. And while we were herelistening to what the state officials had to
(04:26):
say, folks were being pulled overfor a number of things. But the
bottom line is just how all ofus can make PCH safer, urging everybody
to just slow down and enjoy thedrive. Yes, PCH one of those
beautiful drives in the world. Slowdown and enjoy it. Enjoy it.
Forty forty five miles an hour,you're going to get there. You're going
(04:49):
to get there four minutes later.But you're going to get there. You're
not going to kill anybody. You'renot going to spend twenty years in prison.
Remember the speed limits here, it'sforty five miles per hour, forty
five miles an hour forty five,So if you're going ninety, they could
take your license away for quite sometime and your car. But you know
(05:13):
what's really odd that the people livein Malibu. One of the one of
the proposals was to put in speedbumps on PCH, and the people who
live in Malibu fought that because theyhave high end cars and they don't want
them destroyed by speed bumps, becausespeed bumps do eventually, you know,
kill your car. And if youhave a two or three hundred thousand dollars
(05:36):
car, speed bumps are not goodfor that car. That could cost you
a lot of money. That couldeventually cost you thirty or forty thousand dollars
in struts and shocks tires, breaksthe whole run. And so they didn't
want to, you know, beout that cost, and they didn't want
you know, speed bumps hitting theirexpensive cars, so they they fought that.
(06:00):
And so now they're just giving peopletickets. And the wealthy people can
afford those tickets. So guess what. Guess what the people with no money,
the poor people get screwed again.Isn't that wild? Get screwed again?
The wealthy people they make out likebandits again. So my solution,
(06:20):
though, if you hate wealthy peoplealways getting away with breaking the law and
getting away with stuff we can't getaway with, then become really wealthy.
You know, don't go partying everynight, stick your nose in one of
these books, develop a talent thatnobody else has, and make people pay
you a lot of money, andthen you'll also be wealthy. Don't get
(06:42):
down unwealthy people. Become wealthy.Work your ass off and become wealthy.
I don't know one single wealthy person. You know, there are some people
who inherited some money. Those areexceptions. But people who are self made
millionaires and billionaires, they always wereworking. They weren't the ones doing coke.
They weren't the ones, you know, chasing women all night long.
(07:04):
They're going home and getting up earlyand working. And so you can do
it. You can do it.You can become very wealthy in Los Angeles.
There's a lot of opportunity, alot of opportunity. So if you
hate the you know, the wealthypeople getting away with murder, then become
wealthy. Go out there and stickyour nose, you know, into a
(07:26):
job or into you know, sometalent that nobody else has, and make
them pay you for it, likesteph Osh with his impersonation. All right,
relyve on KF I am six forty, don't forget. Also, we
have, you know, money we'regoing to give away. We give money
away at the twenty after every hour, and so we're going to come back
and give up, you know,another thousand dollars hit. But we also
(07:48):
have We're going to celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Island or heritage
with Angel City FC this Sunday.Yes. The special AA NHPI ticket pack
includes an exclusive hat and discounted ticketfor the match. Go to Angelcity dot
(08:09):
com slash AA NHPI, Angelcity dotCom slash AAA, I'm sorry AA n
HPI Big Goal. You're listening toTim Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM
six forty the lottery Like this chapin North Carolina, dreams really do come
(08:35):
true, and North Carolina man wonbig after his sister had a dream that
he found a bunch of gold.David Atwell says he's always been the lucky
one in the family, and evenmore so now after winning more than eight
hundred and thirty seven thousand dollars froma one dollar lotto ticket Wow, eight
hundred and thirty seven grand from aone dollar scratcher. You know when you
(08:56):
get a dollar scratcher and you wintwo bucks or five bucks, you feel
like you beat the system. Thisguy won eight hundred and thirty seven thousand
dollars from a one dollar latto ticketone buck Wow. After taxes, he'll
take home about six hundred thousand dollars. At Will says he plans to give
some money to his church and paysome bills, hopefully to his sister too.
(09:18):
There you go, Yeah, Igotta lay something on the sister.
She had the dream that you weregoing to win. They go wrong with
you? All right, California,We're always concerned about water. We never
have enough water. People take youknow, navy showers. You turn the
water on, you get in andout as quickly as possible. You don't
let the sprinklers run. Everybody's veryconscious. You don't water the lawn as
(09:39):
much as you used to. Everybody'svery, very cool about conserving water.
And now we have a report onCalifornia's water supply. How we doing with
water? Last year's intense storms herein California had brought a significant boost to
the state's under water reserves. Howabout that point of Water Resources reports that
all the water we saw last yearled to a substantial increase in the state's
(10:01):
groundwater storage. Yes, the agencysays the state achieved four point one million
acre feet of managed groundwater recharge.I don't know how much that is,
but it seems like a lot.The agency says the state achieved four point
one million acre feet of managed groundwaterrecharge four point one million, four point
one million acre feet four point onemillion acre feet. Wow, that's more
(10:24):
than the water storage capacities combined ofthe Don Pedro and San Luis reservoirs.
The groundwater supply is essential and usedfor both drinking and irrigating crops. It
comes after the Department reported long termstorage decreased by nearly forty million acre feet
over the past two decades. Yeah, old school, you know, I
was born, you know, inthe last century, and I remember,
(10:50):
you know, when growing up,people had slipping slides, you know,
some people had pools. Some people. You know, your dad would just
hosed down the driveway on occasion andnobody ever thought about it. You know,
that's dad hosing down the driveway andnobody ever ever thought about it.
Now, if you hose down thedriveway, man, dude, your neighbors
(11:11):
give you this stink guy. They'relooking at you like you're crazy. I
remember Brian Reagan, very funny standup comic, and he moved with his
wife and his kids to Las Vegas, and he didn't do any research.
You know, whenever you move toa new town, you know, you
get to know the town once youget there, and you don't you know,
a lot of times you don't doa lot of research before you move.
(11:31):
And he didn't understand when he movedthere that Las Vegas was nearly out
of water and with all those hotelsusing water, lake meat dropping to record
lows, Las Vegas was in ahuge crisis. And the first thing he
did when he got to Las Vegashe bought a house there his wife and
(11:52):
his two young kids. The firstthing he did he rolled out a slip
and slide, put it on thefront lawn and the kids were playing on
it all day long. And hecouldn't understand why all the neighbors were walking
by or running by or driving byand giving him the horrible looks. He
(12:13):
had no idea, and he talksabout it as stand up back, very
funny guy. But we've got itwater again. So look, maybe you
shouldn't be, you know, posingdown the driveway or you know, washing
down you know the side of thehouse is often or turning the sprinklers on.
But we have water again. Wehave a lot of water again,
(12:33):
a lot of it. And we'regonna get a lot from the snowpack as
well. Maybe you missed this storybecause there was so much else going on
over the weekend. Over the lastweekend, we had the Renaissance Fair,
we had the La County Fair thatopened up. We had the Kentucky Derby,
we had the Beach Life Festival goingon, the Dodgers were in town,
and we had a lot going onover this weekend. And so you
(12:56):
didn't hear the story. You mayhave missed it. But Mammoth up in
in the Mammoth area of Highway eighty, they had twenty six inches of snow
on Sunday. Twenty six inches ofsnow fell on Sunday. That's the most
(13:18):
snow that that region of the Sierrashas had all year long. It didn't
happen in December or January, February, March, or April. It happened
in early May. Twenty six inchesof snow. That's huge. It was
a record. It's never happened beforein early May like that. Twenty six
inches. So we're gonna get evenmore water. So we're gonna be fine
(13:41):
for a while. And so let'slay off each other when it comes to
using water. You know, beforeyou'd rat out a neighbor for posing down
his car, washing his car,leaving the sprinklers on, or maybe letting
the kids run through the sprinklers ora slip and slide. But I think
this summer you can give everybody abreak where you don't have to feel guilty
(14:03):
about using water. We're back,baby, We're back with a lot,
a lot of water. So enjoyit, enjoy it, and have yourself
a great, great summer, aterrific summer. All right, let's talk
about USC commencement. That's a bigstory. It's on, it's off,
it's on, it's off. Whatare they going to do? How these
kids at USC gonna graduate? Beencoming here posing for that traditional picture with
(14:24):
the name of the university behind them. But take a look. Definitely a
different type of graduation day. Veryquiet on this campus. That's the beginning
of four days of ceremonies. Andto get on that campus you do need
special credentials or tickets. The medianot allowed in either. Oh, how
about that media has been screwed here? Not allowed in either. Yeah,
(14:46):
they don't allow the media in toobserve anything. Tickets the media not allowed
in either. Wow, no media. It's like a Soviet union style down
there. Let's go to a viewshot from skykew this morning of the festivities
about it. A half dozen academicceremonies and other celebrations are now underway.
More events planned through Saturdays. Sowe're talking about a total of about one
(15:09):
hundred different ceremonies. Usc canceled themain stage commencement, which usually draws more
than sixty thousand people to Alumni Park. Amidst that unrest ninety three protesters attempting
to occupy the space. We're arrestednow. In place of that, there
will be a Trojan Family Graduate celebrationThursday at the coliseum with fireworks. Okay,
(15:30):
all right, Thursday at the Coliseumwith fireworks. A Trojan celebration for
all you grads Thursday at the coliseumwith fireworks. That's tomorrow. That's tomorrow.
You're near the Jefferson entrance. Yesterdaythere was another protest, Oh babu
will members of the Graduate Students WorkersUnion organize that event. They again called
(15:54):
for a ceasefire and for the universityto cut financial ties with Israel. Turmoil
over usse's commencement swelled when campus leaderscanceled the valedictorian speech over what they called
safety concerns. Her pro Palestine viewsled some to contend or social media postings
were anti Semitic. She denied thatthis evening, it does appear a counter
(16:17):
demonstration is being planned. A Unitedfor Israel March alongside campus, which would
take place as those graduation festivities continue. Now, you wonder how long this
is going to go on. Willthis just be the summer and spring will
continue in the fall. I don'tknow, We'll continue for years. Maybe
there'll be years on these campuses wherekids have to deal with this. That's
(16:37):
possible. We spoke with students withdiffering views about the campus protests and counter
protests. You know, I havea feeling that these protesters if Israel announced
tomorrow that the war in Gaza isover, there are no more hostilities,
everyone goes back to normal. Ihave a feeling that these protesters will pick
(16:59):
up some other cause. I thinkthey're pissed about something in addition to Gaza,
and I think it's related to thelockdown. I think these kids,
you know, they experienced a lockdownfor their high school years, maybe a
year, maybe two years. Maybethey lost out on a graduation, and
I think they're they're pissed off beyondGaza. Again. If Gaza, if
(17:23):
that whole situation was wiped out tomorrowand everyone was back to normal, I
don't think these protests would stop.I think they would come up with another
cause and they'd be right out thereagain. I think we're in for a
couple of years of this. Ireally do. And I don't know what
the answer is, but these kidsare too angry to just knock this off.
(17:47):
I think this is going to growand grow and grow and become a
huge problem. I think the ChicagoDemocratic Convention is going to be a major,
major story. All of these groupsgetting together who approach tested on universities,
they're all going to converge on Chicagoand the people live in Chicago.
I don't know if you've been readingarticles about people live in Chicago right now.
They have had it. They're pissedas hell. Joe Biden went yesterday,
(18:14):
I believe, to speak in Chicago. I think he's there today and
people were booing him and getting crazyand protesting his visit because people in Chicago
are angry as hell. They're spendinga lot of money on people here who
are here illegally living in Chicago,and they're not spending that money on people
(18:34):
who were born and raised in Chicago. So Chicago this summer is going to
be the hotbed you watch in Augustwhen they have that convention, huge huge
story, major protests. You're listeningto Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty. Hi, SteveGregory is here. How you, Bob?

story because you're the best at it. I'm I am so flattered. I
am extremely flattered. But here's howI here's how I boiled this down.
That was not a how shall Isay that? That was not a good
event to cover as for me asa reporter really because the media had no
access. Oh, everything had tobe done from the outside looking in.
(19:45):
Buddy, look, and you knowme, I want to be on the

I see the governor in the Mainlander. How about how about that a
(20:27):
whole calling us Mainlanders Mainlander media.Yeah, and we're the ones helping him
pay around and asking us for mind. Yeah. I thought that was a
little bit of a hypocrisy on hispart, but wild Yeah, what are
you gonna do? You know,I thought I'm looking at Channel four right
now, that car that flew intothe sea's candy, I thought that was
you earlier in the car. Yeah. Why I thought that car looked like
(20:49):
yours. I don't have a bluecar. I have a white, white
truck and I'll be like C's Ithought, I loves you do love C's
too, is Belly, I knowbig C's fan. I love the one
in the Bourbank mall. Yeah,I go, that's right, go over
there. I get those little allmen in walnut clusters. Clusters are amazing.
(21:10):
The toffee yeah, the molasses chipit's good for me. And then
there's still like a nurse helping everybodyout, I know. And then I
go upstairs and get a big thingof the buttered popcorn. Ah at the
theater, you're the bomb. Butand then I walked in. I walk
over and get a you know,one of those big sodas, big sodas.
It used to be orange Julius.You know they don't have those anymore.
(21:32):
But there's a dairy queen up theretoo, is there dairy queen?
Yeah, right next to the moviethere. Sometimes I think that the mall
is dead. I've been in therebefore and no one in there is How
does this place stay open? It'sit's not dead, it's dying. Yeah,
I think the mall, I thinkthe mall experience is dying. But
I hate that. I love themall. I'm a big mall fan.
Well, you and I were kids, and that's our That's where when we
(21:53):
were kids, that's where we hangout. I spent my summers and my
whole childhood. They at the GlendaleGalllerium. Yeah, with the Valley Girls.
That was my whole last times atRichmond High That's right, that's right.
I wonder if oh, he's notthere right now? Okay, all
right, so you're here to discussthis big, huge story. Yeah.
So the story that I broke onMonday, it has to do with the
(22:15):
the union representing the university police officersin the UC system, and you know,
they've been kind of taking some heatover the events at UCLA, them
along with the LAPD and and theywere sort of, you know, getting
frustrated, and they had sent outa press release and it caught my attention.
So I was able to score thisexclusive interview with the president of that
(22:37):
union on Sunday and we aired itall Monday on KFI. But from that,
there was a piece of breaking newsin the middle of that when it
was announced that the California the Governor'sOffice of Emergency Services, which usually handles
disasters and all you know the otherthings, they kind of fund that through
CalFire and everything. They had reachedout over the weekend to the police chiefs
(23:00):
in southern California and they're asking themto rent out their officers to UCLA for
help. What but with that?So the police chiefs are like, Okay,
this is odd. So they calleach other and like, hey,
did you get this email? Yeah, we got this email. What do
you make of it? Well,what's the plan? Well, there is
no plan. I don't see aplan. Do you see a plan?
No? So they call They're like, we need a conference call. So
(23:22):
on Monday they had a conference calland come to find out U s LA
didn't have a plan, Cali oesdidn't have a plan. So they just
want them to rent their cops overthere for two twelve hour shifts thirty officers,
two of our shifts each day forthirty days. But does not deplete,
you know, the public's access orit depends on the size of the
(23:45):
agency. Typically no, because alot of there's plenty of officers and there's
always some mutual aid in agreement there. But it would be overtime. It
would they wouldn't be taking them outof like regular patrols. These would be
officers that would be already working theirshift, and there's always something to be
said about that too. Do youreally want the officers working on, you
know, an eight hour, tenhour shift out on the streets and then
(24:07):
going and working a twelve hour shiftover at UCLA, working over time.
I mean, it's good money andthe state is going to pay for it,
but they're also going to be,uh, they're going to be exhausted,
exhausted, and when cops are exhausted, they're pissed. They're pissed,
they're angry, and they're grumpy.That's right, that's right, and then
they like all of us now,like all of us. Yeah, but
so it was interesting. Then todayI get this. I'm just looking through
(24:29):
my emails and this press release cameout and the union that represents the university
officers they credit my story in theirway now and they're like, you know,
they didn't know about it until theyheard it me talking about it on
KFI. But didn't UCLA just hirethis big wig out of Sacramento to be
the head of their security. They'rethe new Office of Campus Safety. And
(24:52):
it's funny because you know, he'sgot an impressive career in law enforcement,
but the union president that I spokewith, Wade Stern, He's like,
well, wait a minute. Sowe've got a guy that's the chief of
the UCLAPD who's got almost forty yearsexperience in law enforcement. No one listened
to him. You know, Universityleadership was supposed to have a plan working
in tandem with this guy. Sonow they're bringing in another police chief with
(25:17):
about thirty years experience to oversee theother police chief with close to forty years
experience. So I mean, andwhen I asked him, I said,
what do you make of this?And he says, it's just another layer
of bureaucracy. And you know,this is the this is chancellor and and
you know in the c suite,if you will, at UCLA trying to
distance itself from these decisions, right, But it seems strange that UCLA,
(25:40):
who you know, the students there, the alumni, the chancellor, they
all hate the cops. Why wouldthey want more cops there? Well,
I think, and that's that's thecrux of the question, because it is
it's presumed, and it's all anecdotal. Right now, that donors and politicians
were calling the chancellor saying enough ofthis crap. Oh is that right?
(26:04):
Yeah? Enough enough and money talkenough yeah enough, And that was that's
the word I'm getting that. Itwas just one of these things where the
Chancellor was just getting too many calls. Because you can see the statements made
by the Chancellor. He is notgonna he is not going to take the
blame for any of this. He'she's not taking the blame for anything.
You could just tell by the wayhis statements are written. It's all about
(26:27):
you know, it's about the kids. It's about this, that and the
other. He never apologizes. Well, he's one of them. I mean,
if he was younger, he'd besitting in that encampment. You know,
all this faculty, they're all youknow, old you know hippies,
that would be in that encampment.It's very possible. I I just I
look at this and I just shookmy head because like LAPD, for instance,
(26:51):
all the headlines about LAPD coming inand smashing heads and stuff like that,
It's like the LAPD was on standby. They weren't even the lead agency
on this patrol. It was theuniversity, and then they called in the
CHP, and then they called inthe LAPD. The LAPD was there just
as a support mechanism. They weren'tdoing anything. It's pretty interesting how people
(27:11):
look at this. And then therewas the online. It was going down
at UC San Diego and they hadCHP's Border Division. That's still chposters,
but they call them they're from theBorder Division. They work the border areas.
So then people out there going borderpatrols on the campus, watch out,
come on, come on, that'swild. How about USC today not
(27:32):
allowing any media at all, youknow, for their graduation and their ceremony.
You can't get on that campus nowif your media, let me tell
you, doing this for four decades. The one thing that we're not good
at is suppressing certain things. Onething we're really really good at is also
exacerbating situations. A lot of timesthese things get worse because we make them
(27:55):
worse. Not you, but Iunderstand the media. As soon as those
lights go on for the ten eleveno'clock news, people completely change. I
got all right, Steve Gregory,thank you, buddy. You're listening to
Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFIAM six forty. Hey you remember you
remember last year for people who livehere in southern California. If you knew,
(28:17):
you know, take a powder.You don't remember. But if you're
if you lived here last year,you remember. The one big story or
one of the big stories last yearwas all the snow that they had in
Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead. AndI remember when that snow started. You
know a lot of people say,oh, it's going to snow in the
mountains. I said, no,this is more than snow in the mountains.
This is a winter warning. Thisis a winter blizzard warning. And
(28:42):
then it went to a blizzard alert. And they have an issue that in
I don't know some eighteen or twentyyears and they got wiped out by snow
in the mountains, wiped out.And you remember one of the big markets
that got there the ceiling and theroof collapse was Goodwind's Market. Goodwind's Market
(29:04):
it's back and you got to lookit up online. Go to Google and
look up Goodwind's Market. It isspectacular. It's one of the most beautiful
markets in the world now and it'sopen again. So Ding Dong with good
Winds up in the mountain. Goodwinand Son's Market, and this line reopens
after the historic grocery store's roof collapsedduring last year's powerful snowstorm. The storm
(29:27):
says, excuse me, The storesays it has been working hard to be
able to reopen in record time.It was just over fourteen months ago that
the store's roof caved in under theweight of the snow from a historic blizzard.
Remember the landmark opened since nineteen fortysix, practically destroyed in a matter
of seconds, only the walls standing, a major blow for the Mountain community.
(29:48):
Well, now thousands of customers areback and it looks like something you
would see in Beverly Hills with thewhite tile and the beautiful produce carving station.
I have brand new freezers and shelvesand flooring and lighting. It looks
spectacular. They happened to have goodones open once again. This is a
(30:10):
gathering place for the community. Sothis is not our family store. This
is the community store. And seeingall their faces and seeing everybody, I
mean people coming in with tears andpeople coming in, you know, customers
hugging each other, and people comingin and embracing each other again, you
know. And well now it's gettingweird. I mean it's a place where
you just get food. Now,people coming in with tears and hugging each
(30:32):
other. That's a little further thanI like my grocery store. I like
pavilions. No tears, no hugging. I go in, I get my
food, I pay for it,I go home. That's my market.
Tears and people coming in, youknow, customers hugging each other, and
yeah, too much, too much, way too much for my market.
(30:53):
People coming in and embracing each otheragain, you know, and seeing our
staff, and you know it,it's been an incredible day, all right.
All right. It's a small littlecommunity. I get it, I
get it, but you know it'sturned into a you know, swingers club.
The store is asking customers to bepatient as they adjust to new equipment,
(31:14):
product locations, and training new employees. This week's hours or seven am
until nine pm, all right,so get on up there, seven am
to nine pm. This beautiful,beautiful market, man, did they do
it? An outstanding job putting thisthing back together. So add a boy
to the Goodwinds and the and theGoodwin families and the Goodwinds and sons.
(31:37):
I don't know what happened to thedaughters, if they have any daughters at
all. It's called Goodwin and sons. Just the daughters went out and started
their own life somewhere, but thesun stuck around for that. You know
that grocery dollar dig doong with thatplace, Goodwind's Market up in the mountains.
Spicctacular, just beautiful. I relyon kf AM six forty Conway Show
(31:59):
on the on the iHeartRadio app.Now you can always hear us live on
kfi AM six forty four to sevenpm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app
It's KFI AM six forty and you'relistening to The Conway Show on demand on
the iHeartRadio app. Malibu. It'sbeen in the news a lot lately because
it's a very dangerous, dangerous highwayPCH Civic Coast Highway. A lot of
people get wiped out because cars aregoing eighty ninety hundred miles an hour,
(00:22):
and even if they're not, evenif they're going the speed limit, it's
like getting on a freeway every day. And if you live on PCH,
you dread getting in the car anddriving anywhere because it's so difficult to navigate,
even at night, and especially onholiday weekends when people are drinking and
driving, you could see some horrificI'll bet almost anybody and everybody who lives
(00:45):
in Malibu has either seen personally orheard of an accident or maybe even physically
heard it while it happened. Buteverybody in Malibu knows somebody who's been affected
by an accident or saw an actthat near their house or in front of
their home. Almost everybody, andsome multiple you know, something happens once
(01:06):
a month. So they got toslow traffic down on PCH. Let's find
out how they're going to do it. As we are standing next to the
Ghost Tire Memorial where the sign sayssixty people since twenty ten have lost their
lives and crashes along this stretch ofPacific Coast Highway. And the bottom line
is this making PCH safer has todeal with speed. Take a look.
(01:29):
You may recall last year tragically fourPepperdine students were killed in a crash.
The driver, according to investigators,was traveling on Pacific Coast Highway well north
of one hundred miles per hour atthe time of the crash. Today,
Stay local officials announced to program toeducate you know, when you're when you're
driving to Vegas and you're driving onehundred miles an hour, you really feel
(01:52):
like you're moving, and you're ona two lane highway in the middle of
the desert and nobody's around. Andwhen you're going one hundred miles an hour,
man, you feel, especially ifyou drive an older car, you
feel that that car is moving.But one hundred miles an hour on PCH
with all those twists and turns,and all the people that live on PCH
and the you know, the kidsthat are walking around riding bike skateboards.
(02:14):
It's it's it's crazy, it's it'sinsanity. It really truly is today's stay.
Local officials and ouns to program toeducate travelers along Pacific Coast Highway to
slow down. The campaign, aswas mentioned, it is called go Safely
on PCH. And here's a ruleof thumb too. Anybody that drives around
the city at one hundred miles anhour is not only a huge a hole
(02:38):
on the road, but in theirpersonal and private life major a hole as
well. That's uh. After meetingsome people who drive quickly, that's my
conclusion. The people who drive onehundred miles an hour on Magnolia, you
know, Victory Balbo or wherever itis. You're driving that quick, that
(03:01):
fast, You're an a hole.You don't care about yourself or anybody else
around. That's true. Cal Trendsannounced that it's already spent millions on improvements
along the twenty one mile stretch ofthe scenic highway through Malibroo. Those improvements
include scienage about the speed limit.It's forty five forty five miles an hour
(03:22):
on PCH. Who's ever done that? It's forty five From the law enforcement
and HP is now helping the EliCounty Sheriffs Department with enforcement. Thousands of
tickets, most for speeding, havealready been written so far this year,
and according to the CHP, thenumber of crashes is down fifteen percent from
last year. That's go because ofthose tickets. All right, that's cool,
(03:44):
Maybe that's the way to do it. You know, people hit them
in their pocketbook, but most ofthe people living in Malibu are millionaires or
billionaires. I don't care about athree hundred dollar traffic ticket. The city
of Melibou reached out to us andwe partnered with them to a task force
consisting of three officers and a sergeantto enforce traffic violations on pch Now now
(04:06):
we're talking to Chief Young after thepress conference. The City of Malibu and
CHP they're working on a long termplan to basically add more officers La County
Sheriff's Department. They're the ones incharge of patrolling this stretch of Pacific Coast
Highway. And while we were herelistening to what the state officials had to
(04:26):
say, folks were being pulled overfor a number of things. But the
bottom line is just how all ofus can make PCH safer, urging everybody
to just slow down and enjoy thedrive. Yes, PCH one of those
beautiful drives in the world. Slowdown and enjoy it. Enjoy it.
Forty forty five miles an hour,you're going to get there. You're going
(04:49):
to get there four minutes later.But you're going to get there. You're
not going to kill anybody. You'renot going to spend twenty years in prison.
Remember the speed limits here, it'sforty five miles per hour, forty
five miles an hour forty five,So if you're going ninety, they could
take your license away for quite sometime and your car. But you know
(05:13):
what's really odd that the people livein Malibu. One of the one of
the proposals was to put in speedbumps on PCH, and the people who
live in Malibu fought that because theyhave high end cars and they don't want
them destroyed by speed bumps, becausespeed bumps do eventually, you know,
kill your car. And if youhave a two or three hundred thousand dollars
(05:36):
car, speed bumps are not goodfor that car. That could cost you
a lot of money. That couldeventually cost you thirty or forty thousand dollars
in struts and shocks tires, breaksthe whole run. And so they didn't
want to, you know, beout that cost, and they didn't want
you know, speed bumps hitting theirexpensive cars, so they they fought that.
(06:00):
And so now they're just giving peopletickets. And the wealthy people can
afford those tickets. So guess what. Guess what the people with no money,
the poor people get screwed again.Isn't that wild? Get screwed again?
The wealthy people they make out likebandits again. So my solution,
(06:20):
though, if you hate wealthy peoplealways getting away with breaking the law and
getting away with stuff we can't getaway with, then become really wealthy.
You know, don't go partying everynight, stick your nose in one of
these books, develop a talent thatnobody else has, and make people pay
you a lot of money, andthen you'll also be wealthy. Don't get
(06:42):
down unwealthy people. Become wealthy.Work your ass off and become wealthy.
I don't know one single wealthy person. You know, there are some people
who inherited some money. Those areexceptions. But people who are self made
millionaires and billionaires, they always wereworking. They weren't the ones doing coke.
They weren't the ones, you know, chasing women all night long.
(07:04):
They're going home and getting up earlyand working. And so you can do
it. You can do it.You can become very wealthy in Los Angeles.
There's a lot of opportunity, alot of opportunity. So if you
hate the you know, the wealthypeople getting away with murder, then become
wealthy. Go out there and stickyour nose, you know, into a
(07:26):
job or into you know, sometalent that nobody else has, and make
them pay you for it, likesteph Osh with his impersonation. All right,
relyve on KF I am six forty, don't forget. Also, we
have, you know, money we'regoing to give away. We give money
away at the twenty after every hour, and so we're going to come back
and give up, you know,another thousand dollars hit. But we also
(07:48):
have We're going to celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Island or heritage

six forty the lottery Like this chapin North Carolina, dreams really do come
(08:35):
true, and North Carolina man wonbig after his sister had a dream that
he found a bunch of gold.David Atwell says he's always been the lucky
one in the family, and evenmore so now after winning more than eight
hundred and thirty seven thousand dollars froma one dollar lotto ticket Wow, eight
hundred and thirty seven grand from aone dollar scratcher. You know when you
(08:56):
get a dollar scratcher and you wintwo bucks or five bucks, you feel
like you beat the system. Thisguy won eight hundred and thirty seven thousand
dollars from a one dollar latto ticketone buck Wow. After taxes, he'll
take home about six hundred thousand dollars. At Will says he plans to give
some money to his church and paysome bills, hopefully to his sister too.
(09:18):
There you go, Yeah, Igotta lay something on the sister.
She had the dream that you weregoing to win. They go wrong with
you? All right, California,We're always concerned about water. We never
have enough water. People take youknow, navy showers. You turn the
water on, you get in andout as quickly as possible. You don't
let the sprinklers run. Everybody's veryconscious. You don't water the lawn as
(09:39):
much as you used to. Everybody'svery, very cool about conserving water.
And now we have a report onCalifornia's water supply. How we doing with
water? Last year's intense storms herein California had brought a significant boost to
the state's under water reserves. Howabout that point of Water Resources reports that
all the water we saw last yearled to a substantial increase in the state's
(10:01):
groundwater storage. Yes, the agencysays the state achieved four point one million
acre feet of managed groundwater recharge.I don't know how much that is,
but it seems like a lot.The agency says the state achieved four point
one million acre feet of managed groundwaterrecharge four point one million, four point
one million acre feet four point onemillion acre feet. Wow, that's more
(10:24):
than the water storage capacities combined ofthe Don Pedro and San Luis reservoirs.
The groundwater supply is essential and usedfor both drinking and irrigating crops. It
comes after the Department reported long termstorage decreased by nearly forty million acre feet
over the past two decades. Yeah, old school, you know, I
was born, you know, inthe last century, and I remember,
(10:50):
you know, when growing up,people had slipping slides, you know,
some people had pools. Some people. You know, your dad would just
hosed down the driveway on occasion andnobody ever thought about it. You know,
that's dad hosing down the driveway andnobody ever ever thought about it.
Now, if you hose down thedriveway, man, dude, your neighbors
(11:11):
give you this stink guy. They'relooking at you like you're crazy. I
remember Brian Reagan, very funny standup comic, and he moved with his
wife and his kids to Las Vegas, and he didn't do any research.
You know, whenever you move toa new town, you know, you
get to know the town once youget there, and you don't you know,
a lot of times you don't doa lot of research before you move.
(11:31):
And he didn't understand when he movedthere that Las Vegas was nearly out
of water and with all those hotelsusing water, lake meat dropping to record
lows, Las Vegas was in ahuge crisis. And the first thing he
did when he got to Las Vegashe bought a house there his wife and
(11:52):
his two young kids. The firstthing he did he rolled out a slip
and slide, put it on thefront lawn and the kids were playing on
it all day long. And hecouldn't understand why all the neighbors were walking
by or running by or driving byand giving him the horrible looks. He
(12:13):
had no idea, and he talksabout it as stand up back, very
funny guy. But we've got itwater again. So look, maybe you
shouldn't be, you know, posingdown the driveway or you know, washing
down you know the side of thehouse is often or turning the sprinklers on.
But we have water again. Wehave a lot of water again,
(12:33):
a lot of it. And we'regonna get a lot from the snowpack as
well. Maybe you missed this storybecause there was so much else going on
over the weekend. Over the lastweekend, we had the Renaissance Fair,
we had the La County Fair thatopened up. We had the Kentucky Derby,
we had the Beach Life Festival goingon, the Dodgers were in town,
and we had a lot going onover this weekend. And so you
(12:56):
didn't hear the story. You mayhave missed it. But Mammoth up in
in the Mammoth area of Highway eighty, they had twenty six inches of snow
on Sunday. Twenty six inches ofsnow fell on Sunday. That's the most
(13:18):
snow that that region of the Sierrashas had all year long. It didn't
happen in December or January, February, March, or April. It happened
in early May. Twenty six inchesof snow. That's huge. It was
a record. It's never happened beforein early May like that. Twenty six
inches. So we're gonna get evenmore water. So we're gonna be fine
(13:41):
for a while. And so let'slay off each other when it comes to
using water. You know, beforeyou'd rat out a neighbor for posing down
his car, washing his car,leaving the sprinklers on, or maybe letting
the kids run through the sprinklers ora slip and slide. But I think
this summer you can give everybody abreak where you don't have to feel guilty
(14:03):
about using water. We're back,baby, We're back with a lot,
a lot of water. So enjoyit, enjoy it, and have yourself
a great, great summer, aterrific summer. All right, let's talk
about USC commencement. That's a bigstory. It's on, it's off,
it's on, it's off. Whatare they going to do? How these
kids at USC gonna graduate? Beencoming here posing for that traditional picture with
(14:24):
the name of the university behind them. But take a look. Definitely a
different type of graduation day. Veryquiet on this campus. That's the beginning
of four days of ceremonies. Andto get on that campus you do need
special credentials or tickets. The medianot allowed in either. Oh, how
about that media has been screwed here? Not allowed in either. Yeah,
(14:46):
they don't allow the media in toobserve anything. Tickets the media not allowed
in either. Wow, no media. It's like a Soviet union style down
there. Let's go to a viewshot from skykew this morning of the festivities
about it. A half dozen academicceremonies and other celebrations are now underway.
More events planned through Saturdays. Sowe're talking about a total of about one
(15:09):
hundred different ceremonies. Usc canceled themain stage commencement, which usually draws more
than sixty thousand people to Alumni Park. Amidst that unrest ninety three protesters attempting
to occupy the space. We're arrestednow. In place of that, there
will be a Trojan Family Graduate celebrationThursday at the coliseum with fireworks. Okay,
(15:30):
all right, Thursday at the Coliseumwith fireworks. A Trojan celebration for
all you grads Thursday at the coliseumwith fireworks. That's tomorrow. That's tomorrow.
You're near the Jefferson entrance. Yesterdaythere was another protest, Oh babu
will members of the Graduate Students WorkersUnion organize that event. They again called
(15:54):
for a ceasefire and for the universityto cut financial ties with Israel. Turmoil
over usse's commencement swelled when campus leaderscanceled the valedictorian speech over what they called
safety concerns. Her pro Palestine viewsled some to contend or social media postings
were anti Semitic. She denied thatthis evening, it does appear a counter
(16:17):
demonstration is being planned. A Unitedfor Israel March alongside campus, which would
take place as those graduation festivities continue. Now, you wonder how long this
is going to go on. Willthis just be the summer and spring will
continue in the fall. I don'tknow, We'll continue for years. Maybe
there'll be years on these campuses wherekids have to deal with this. That's
(16:37):
possible. We spoke with students withdiffering views about the campus protests and counter
protests. You know, I havea feeling that these protesters if Israel announced
tomorrow that the war in Gaza isover, there are no more hostilities,
everyone goes back to normal. Ihave a feeling that these protesters will pick
(16:59):
up some other cause. I thinkthey're pissed about something in addition to Gaza,
and I think it's related to thelockdown. I think these kids,
you know, they experienced a lockdownfor their high school years, maybe a
year, maybe two years. Maybethey lost out on a graduation, and
I think they're they're pissed off beyondGaza. Again. If Gaza, if
(17:23):
that whole situation was wiped out tomorrowand everyone was back to normal, I
don't think these protests would stop.I think they would come up with another
cause and they'd be right out thereagain. I think we're in for a
couple of years of this. Ireally do. And I don't know what
the answer is, but these kidsare too angry to just knock this off.
(17:47):
I think this is going to growand grow and grow and become a
huge problem. I think the ChicagoDemocratic Convention is going to be a major,
major story. All of these groupsgetting together who approach tested on universities,
they're all going to converge on Chicagoand the people live in Chicago.
I don't know if you've been readingarticles about people live in Chicago right now.
They have had it. They're pissedas hell. Joe Biden went yesterday,
(18:14):
I believe, to speak in Chicago. I think he's there today and
people were booing him and getting crazyand protesting his visit because people in Chicago
are angry as hell. They're spendinga lot of money on people here who
are here illegally living in Chicago,and they're not spending that money on people
(18:34):
who were born and raised in Chicago. So Chicago this summer is going to
be the hotbed you watch in Augustwhen they have that convention, huge huge
story, major protests. You're listeningto Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty. Hi, SteveGregory is here. How you, Bob?
(18:56):
How you doing? Nice to seeyou man? All right, what's

story because you're the best at it. I'm I am so flattered. I
am extremely flattered. But here's howI here's how I boiled this down.
That was not a how shall Isay that? That was not a good
event to cover as for me asa reporter really because the media had no
access. Oh, everything had tobe done from the outside looking in.
(19:45):
Buddy, look, and you knowme, I want to be on the

I see the governor in the Mainlander. How about how about that a
(20:27):
whole calling us Mainlanders Mainlander media.Yeah, and we're the ones helping him
pay around and asking us for mind. Yeah. I thought that was a
little bit of a hypocrisy on hispart, but wild Yeah, what are
you gonna do? You know,I thought I'm looking at Channel four right
now, that car that flew intothe sea's candy, I thought that was
you earlier in the car. Yeah. Why I thought that car looked like

in the Bourbank mall. Yeah,I go, that's right, go over
there. I get those little allmen in walnut clusters. Clusters are amazing.
(21:10):
The toffee yeah, the molasses chipit's good for me. And then
there's still like a nurse helping everybodyout, I know. And then I
go upstairs and get a big thingof the buttered popcorn. Ah at the
theater, you're the bomb. Butand then I walked in. I walk
over and get a you know,one of those big sodas, big sodas.
It used to be orange Julius.You know they don't have those anymore.
(21:32):
But there's a dairy queen up theretoo, is there dairy queen?
Yeah, right next to the moviethere. Sometimes I think that the mall
is dead. I've been in therebefore and no one in there is How
does this place stay open? It'sit's not dead, it's dying. Yeah,
I think the mall, I thinkthe mall experience is dying. But
I hate that. I love themall. I'm a big mall fan.
Well, you and I were kids, and that's our That's where when we
(21:53):
were kids, that's where we hangout. I spent my summers and my
whole childhood. They at the GlendaleGalllerium. Yeah, with the Valley Girls.
That was my whole last times atRichmond High That's right, that's right.
I wonder if oh, he's notthere right now? Okay, all
right, so you're here to discussthis big, huge story. Yeah.
So the story that I broke onMonday, it has to do with the
(22:15):
the union representing the university police officersin the UC system, and you know,
they've been kind of taking some heatover the events at UCLA, them
along with the LAPD and and theywere sort of, you know, getting
frustrated, and they had sent outa press release and it caught my attention.
So I was able to score thisexclusive interview with the president of that
(22:37):
union on Sunday and we aired itall Monday on KFI. But from that,
there was a piece of breaking newsin the middle of that when it
was announced that the California the Governor'sOffice of Emergency Services, which usually handles
disasters and all you know the otherthings, they kind of fund that through
CalFire and everything. They had reachedout over the weekend to the police chiefs
(23:00):
in southern California and they're asking themto rent out their officers to UCLA for
help. What but with that?So the police chiefs are like, Okay,
this is odd. So they calleach other and like, hey,
did you get this email? Yeah, we got this email. What do
you make of it? Well,what's the plan? Well, there is
no plan. I don't see aplan. Do you see a plan?
No? So they call They're like, we need a conference call. So
(23:22):
on Monday they had a conference calland come to find out U s LA
didn't have a plan, Cali oesdidn't have a plan. So they just
want them to rent their cops overthere for two twelve hour shifts thirty officers,
two of our shifts each day forthirty days. But does not deplete,
you know, the public's access orit depends on the size of the
(23:45):
agency. Typically no, because alot of there's plenty of officers and there's
always some mutual aid in agreement there. But it would be overtime. It
would they wouldn't be taking them outof like regular patrols. These would be
officers that would be already working theirshift, and there's always something to be
said about that too. Do youreally want the officers working on, you
know, an eight hour, tenhour shift out on the streets and then
(24:07):
going and working a twelve hour shiftover at UCLA, working over time.
I mean, it's good money andthe state is going to pay for it,
but they're also going to be,uh, they're going to be exhausted,
exhausted, and when cops are exhausted, they're pissed. They're pissed,
they're angry, and they're grumpy.That's right, that's right, and then
they like all of us now,like all of us. Yeah, but
so it was interesting. Then todayI get this. I'm just looking through
(24:29):
my emails and this press release cameout and the union that represents the university
officers they credit my story in theirway now and they're like, you know,
they didn't know about it until theyheard it me talking about it on
KFI. But didn't UCLA just hirethis big wig out of Sacramento to be
the head of their security. They'rethe new Office of Campus Safety. And
(24:52):
it's funny because you know, he'sgot an impressive career in law enforcement,
but the union president that I spokewith, Wade Stern, He's like,
well, wait a minute. Sowe've got a guy that's the chief of
the UCLAPD who's got almost forty yearsexperience in law enforcement. No one listened
to him. You know, Universityleadership was supposed to have a plan working
in tandem with this guy. Sonow they're bringing in another police chief with
(25:17):
about thirty years experience to oversee theother police chief with close to forty years
experience. So I mean, andwhen I asked him, I said,
what do you make of this?And he says, it's just another layer
of bureaucracy. And you know,this is the this is chancellor and and
you know in the c suite,if you will, at UCLA trying to
distance itself from these decisions, right, But it seems strange that UCLA,
(25:40):
who you know, the students there, the alumni, the chancellor, they
all hate the cops. Why wouldthey want more cops there? Well,
I think, and that's that's thecrux of the question, because it is
it's presumed, and it's all anecdotal. Right now, that donors and politicians
were calling the chancellor saying enough ofthis crap. Oh is that right?
(26:04):
Yeah? Enough enough and money talkenough yeah enough, And that was that's
the word I'm getting that. Itwas just one of these things where the
Chancellor was just getting too many calls. Because you can see the statements made
by the Chancellor. He is notgonna he is not going to take the
blame for any of this. He'she's not taking the blame for anything.
You could just tell by the wayhis statements are written. It's all about
(26:27):
you know, it's about the kids. It's about this, that and the
other. He never apologizes. Well, he's one of them. I mean,
if he was younger, he'd besitting in that encampment. You know,
all this faculty, they're all youknow, old you know hippies,
that would be in that encampment.It's very possible. I I just I
look at this and I just shookmy head because like LAPD, for instance,
(26:51):
all the headlines about LAPD coming inand smashing heads and stuff like that,
It's like the LAPD was on standby. They weren't even the lead agency
on this patrol. It was theuniversity, and then they called in the
CHP, and then they called inthe LAPD. The LAPD was there just
as a support mechanism. They weren'tdoing anything. It's pretty interesting how people
(27:11):
look at this. And then therewas the online. It was going down
at UC San Diego and they hadCHP's Border Division. That's still chposters,
but they call them they're from theBorder Division. They work the border areas.
So then people out there going borderpatrols on the campus, watch out,
come on, come on, that'swild. How about USC today not
(27:32):
allowing any media at all, youknow, for their graduation and their ceremony.
You can't get on that campus nowif your media, let me tell
you, doing this for four decades. The one thing that we're not good
at is suppressing certain things. Onething we're really really good at is also
exacerbating situations. A lot of timesthese things get worse because we make them
(27:55):
worse. Not you, but Iunderstand the media. As soon as those
lights go on for the ten eleveno'clock news, people completely change. I
got all right, Steve Gregory,thank you, buddy. You're listening to
Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFIAM six forty. Hey you remember you
remember last year for people who livehere in southern California. If you knew,
(28:17):
you know, take a powder.You don't remember. But if you're
if you lived here last year,you remember. The one big story or
one of the big stories last yearwas all the snow that they had in
Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead. AndI remember when that snow started. You
know a lot of people say,oh, it's going to snow in the
mountains. I said, no,this is more than snow in the mountains.
This is a winter warning. Thisis a winter blizzard warning. And
(28:42):
then it went to a blizzard alert. And they have an issue that in
I don't know some eighteen or twentyyears and they got wiped out by snow
in the mountains, wiped out.And you remember one of the big markets
that got there the ceiling and theroof collapse was Goodwind's Market. Goodwind's Market
(29:04):
it's back and you got to lookit up online. Go to Google and
look up Goodwind's Market. It isspectacular. It's one of the most beautiful
markets in the world now and it'sopen again. So Ding Dong with good
Winds up in the mountain. Goodwinand Son's Market, and this line reopens
after the historic grocery store's roof collapsedduring last year's powerful snowstorm. The storm
(29:27):
says, excuse me, The storesays it has been working hard to be
able to reopen in record time.It was just over fourteen months ago that
the store's roof caved in under theweight of the snow from a historic blizzard.
Remember the landmark opened since nineteen fortysix, practically destroyed in a matter
of seconds, only the walls standing, a major blow for the Mountain community.
(29:48):
Well, now thousands of customers areback and it looks like something you
would see in Beverly Hills with thewhite tile and the beautiful produce carving station.
I have brand new freezers and shelvesand flooring and lighting. It looks
spectacular. They happened to have goodones open once again. This is a
(30:10):
gathering place for the community. Sothis is not our family store. This
is the community store. And seeingall their faces and seeing everybody, I
mean people coming in with tears andpeople coming in, you know, customers
hugging each other, and people comingin and embracing each other again, you
know. And well now it's gettingweird. I mean it's a place where
you just get food. Now,people coming in with tears and hugging each
(30:32):
other. That's a little further thanI like my grocery store. I like
pavilions. No tears, no hugging. I go in, I get my
food, I pay for it,I go home. That's my market.
Tears and people coming in, youknow, customers hugging each other, and
yeah, too much, too much, way too much for my market.
(30:53):
People coming in and embracing each otheragain, you know, and seeing our
staff, and you know it,it's been an incredible day, all right.
All right. It's a small littlecommunity. I get it, I
get it, but you know it'sturned into a you know, swingers club.
The store is asking customers to bepatient as they adjust to new equipment,
(31:14):
product locations, and training new employees. This week's hours or seven am
until nine pm, all right,so get on up there, seven am
to nine pm. This beautiful,beautiful market, man, did they do
it? An outstanding job putting thisthing back together. So add a boy
to the Goodwinds and the and theGoodwin families and the Goodwinds and sons.
(31:37):
I don't know what happened to thedaughters, if they have any daughters at
all. It's called Goodwin and sons. Just the daughters went out and started
their own life somewhere, but thesun stuck around for that. You know
that grocery dollar dig doong with thatplace, Goodwind's Market up in the mountains.
