Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k if I AM six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
K if I Am said, Corner Conway.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
No, Mark Thompson's here, Yes, sir, A lot going on,
lot going on. We've been following the story of the
missing college student in the Dominican Republic.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, what's just what is the latest down that.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
They think she drowned?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Went out swimming with this kid who is a wrestler,
and he saved her in the in the ocean water,
and then he thought she was up on the shore
and then he was throwing up because he'd ingested so
much salt water trying to save her. He didn't realize
that that waves had grabbed her and brought her back
in the ocean.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
May have killed her on the ocean.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
But you know, I guarantee you the parents are killing
themselves for saying yeah, go ahead. You know, you know,
because when you're seventeen, eighteen, nineteen twenty, you always ask
your parents, Hey, do you mind if I can I
go to the Dominican Republic?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Can I go to Florida? Can I go to Palm Springs?
Can I go?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
You know?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
On a spring break to Texas, you know, Corpus Christian
whatever it is, and the parents are their natural instinct
is no, you know, please don't go. It's a long way,
there's a lot of craziness. Please don't go. If anything happened,
I'd be devastated. Please don't go. And then you say
to yourself, Okay, she's nineteen, she's twenty, she's got to
get out there. What are the odds of anything happening.
(01:33):
Just go, have a good time, make good choices, but
please be safe. And then you're up all night when
she's there, and every time the phone rings, you think
something happens. Every time she texts, you think something happens.
And then the worst nightmare in the world is you
get a call from the cops and then Dominican Republic
saying that you're they can't find your daughter. It's it's
(01:53):
the biggest nightmare.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
In the world.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
And the missing college student. The new developments after the
woman has gone missing is they think she may have
drowned in the ocean.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And that's a horrible, horrible.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Way to go.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
A heartbreaking development. Overnight, the family of Siddiha Kananki now
acknowledging that she likely drowned, and they really hope to
put this painful chapter behind them. And now the attorneys
for Joshua Reebe have filed a motion in a local
court to try to get him released so he can
go back home. This morning, the family of college students
said Dition Kananki, who vanished while on spring break in
(02:29):
the Dominican Republic, acknowledging they believe she died.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And so they have this college student as her oldest daughter.
You know, firstborn daughter is always you know, the greatest,
sure of the best. And then they have two younger
kids now that they have to raise and still deal
with the grief losing their daughter.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, they'll be haunted by them.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And those two kids are going to be overprotected by
mom and dad.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Rightfully, so I see.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And it's going to be a nightmare for the for
these for this family.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
You think they'll over they could. They'll have to resist
oversteering the other way, is what you're saying. I'm sure
they will. I'm sure they will.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
ABC News obtaining this formal written request to the Dominican police.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know what, let's talk to us, sam Z about this. Sam. Yes,
when parents do lose a child.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Are they overbearing and protective of the two of the
other kids that have survived or did not you know,
pass away?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Well, I mean a lot of times when things go
out of control for people, they tend to try to
micromanage and hyper control the little things that they can
so everything. I feel like in that situation, there's so
much out of control that they just want to make
sure that they keep everything that they can keep around
them as safest possible, and they.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Want to put this behind them so they can move on.
But then again, the theory is, look, if my daughter
is missing, I would never stop looking.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
For yeah, and and let's there's always going to be
that feeling of like, never give up hope until you
can actually get confirmation one word or the other. But
it's yeah, this is a situation that no parent ever
wants to be stuck in.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
It's heartbreaking, and.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
That the level of trauma that goes with seeing news
updates outraging things like that. I can't imagine the pain
that they're going through.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
And also, you know, once the you know the child
is missing and it's been a year or two years,
I imagine it gets a little easier, Like by micro
percentages maybe like one percent easier after a while, But
then every time you're in a restaurant or in a
mall and you see somebody who looks like your daughter,
(04:43):
you want to run up and look at that person.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Yeah, well, I'm not sure if it even gets easier.
It just becomes different. I mean, there's gonna be constant reminders.
You're gonna see little landmarks just driving by, and little
memories and things like that.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That's the worst. Yeah, and you see it.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It's horrible.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
We saw a lot of that with people who were
in the fire last month, where they're driving around their
old neighborhood and seeing landmarks that reminded them of happy times.
And now it's just a husk.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It's the worst, absolute worst. All right, It's get some
more information here on the new developments. After a woman
went missing in the Dominican.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Republic, the family asking for a legal declaration of death.
Cannky's parents also stating they trust the authorities investigation. The
letter saying the Kononkeys believe the last person who saw
their daughter has cooperated with the investigation and that there
is no evidence of.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Foul play unbelieved. That's a really, really a tough story.
All right, let's we have a where's my paper?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Here it is from the Valid from Valentine in the Morning,
John Ki's coment.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
She's with us, John, How you Bob?
Speaker 8 (05:54):
What's going on? Guys? I'm doing all right?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Co host with Valentine in the Morning on one four
point three.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I think that's my FM.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
That is correct. Yeah, A couple of feet above you,
but that's there. And I feel like I never see
people from downstairs as often.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I just went up to see Booker and Striker. They
haven't seen those cats in a while. I'm only literally
eight feet below them, and I never see the guys.
Speaker 8 (06:19):
It's this weirdest thing, man. You put a fly of
stairs between us and you never see anybody.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
It's a cooler floor too. The fifth floor is a
cool floor. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So last night, did you go to the iHeart Music Awards?
Speaker 8 (06:31):
Yes, sir, I was there last night Doby Theater at
the iHeartRadio Music Awards. It's one of my favorite events
to go to every year.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Oh yes, I bet it is. What were the big
surprises last night?
Speaker 8 (06:42):
You know what I mean? For me, like, it's just
it's the storylines that I love to follow, and one
of the ones that really excites me is Benson Boone.
He's the guy who won the biggest award of the
Nights for Song of the Year. And to me, this
is so crazy. The kid's like twenty two years old, right,
and like a couple of years ago, he's in high school,
didn't know he wanted to do music. He's in some
(07:03):
talent show, like a Battle of the Band's type situation,
and the lead singer gets sick and calls out, and
last minute Benson Boone has to step up, and people
all of a sudden tell him that he can sing,
and he's like, he didn't even think he knew he
could sing.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
Then goes on American Idol, drops out of American Idol
because everyone around him was taking their artistry so serious
and he's like, I don't even know if I want
to do that yet. So he leaves the American Idol,
decides to be an artist, and then a couple of
years later, after doing some music, he you know, has
no major hit yet, but he comes out with this
song called Beautiful Things at this time last year, and
(07:38):
that song his skyrocketed him, which is so insane to
me to think about that you could win Song of
the Year as essentially a new artist, Like we're only
really learning his name for the very first time over
this last year, and just because of that one song
that's the biggest selling song globally last year.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You know, I think I know that song. Yeah, yeah,
I know that song.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I didn't know the backstory about this kid.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Yeah, I think that's what's so cool is a lot
of us are familiar with that song, but we might
not be familiar with him as an artist yet. And
that's because he's been on the main stage for maybe
a year. And to win Song of the Year at
the iHeartRadio Music Awards after one year as an artists
at twenty two years old, like that is unheard of.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, that is great. We played a little of it
for people are unfamiliar with this song. It's really beautiful.
By Hey, I'm sick forty Conway show Mark Thompson is
here ding dong with that guy.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
He's got a very popular show on YouTube.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Right, Yes, you're the Mark Thompson Show. Oh yeah, it's
starting Marks Madness tomorrow. We played drops off against each other. Tim, Oh,
that's right, Yeah, yeah, you do it every march. Mark's
madness is we have brackets and listeners and viewers fill
out brackets, and they have brackets as to which drop
will beat out another drop and which drop will win
the tournament.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Which sound drops? So that's like one of the fun
things we do. And then we get back to you know,
Trump arrangement syndrome whatever we've got. So yeah, do.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You ever get in trouble with your audience, maybe you
say something that then.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
I got the libs killed me today. Oh no, And
you know I think I'm a lib among lives. Well,
I'm a I'm a tree hugger, so I'm not. I mean,
that's the lib part of me. But I said that,
I agreed we had a piece of sound, and Whoopi
Goldberg said something and I said, well, it's odd saying
(09:29):
this because I'm not a huge fan. I agree with
Whoopie Goldberg. I'm not a fan of the view. I
think it's just too much. And then I said it
like this, and I think that this is what offended people.
I said it just it just descends into a yap fest.
Because if you've watched the view, they have too many
people on that panel, and you can't hear what anybody's saying.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Right, And wait a minute, they got offended by that.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Yeah, by the yap fest because they call in the
view the yap fest got you in trouble, Yes, because
they said well uh, And my news person said, well
do you uh? Why do you say that? I mean,
these are people just expressing different opinions. You say that
this is the FS because they're women.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Oh no, I wouldn't survive over that.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
And I said that.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
I said, no, I've said the same thing about ESPN
hour after hour after hour. They throw up some fake
controversy in the NBA and then they're all But the
thing about ESPN is they don't put too many people
on the panel.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
They're actually just three people there.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
When you get more than three people on a panel,
then you can't understand what anybody's saying. That's what makes
it the happens. But there was no defending me. I
mean I needed Johnny Cochran to get out of this.
They were like all over me.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
My own audienced him. They ain't be alive.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, that's the problem with that crew is they you
take one foot, you know, one lead off first, and
they'll they'll take out Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
They look they're really smart my audience, but I think
they I mean they're men. Certain things sensitive too. Triggers. Yeah,
there are triggers. I guess that's great. Yeah, got so
you have to watch everything you say on that sort.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I mean I normally I don't. I normally just let
it rip.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
But uh, this was so innocent, and I thought it
was kind of like a smart ass thing to say, like,
I'm not really a fan of the View.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
But I don't agree with let at Goldberg. I'm not
really a fan.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
But and I thought it was like one of those
things you say, but instead I get you know, yeah,
I got a wrung.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Up for it, and people like criticize you in the
and they oh, it was wild.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
What's the matter?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Mark can't take a little criticism this in my own audience?
I said, it's not that I don't mind criticism, which
is that this is it seems like it's not legitimate.
I mean, like, I didn't have this is not about women.
How did this whole women thing get started? Because the
View has women on it.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
But when you get off the air and you tell
that story to Courtney, don't you say, F everybody, all
my listeners, and F the people in the comments. I
bet you do.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
You know me, I'm just the opposite. I'm insecure, Like
are they right? Like I do?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Buddy.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
I actually told her the story and I said, and
I'm thinking, well maybe I maybe I was.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Was it offensive? I didn't think it was. Buddy, you
can't do that.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You know, if they find that offensive, tell them to
go find another YouTube show ye, that's what you.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Gotta tell them.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
No, no, no, I mean, it's it's just wild how they
were triggered by that.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I mean, it just it's it was weird. How defensive
I would say. She became. I wasn't. It had nothing,
It wasn't gender.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
All the good will you've built up over the last
two years, it gets buried because you make one comment
about those it's all.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
The good will.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
I mean, I don't think people are you know, are canceling.
But I'm just saying that it is wild. How they
you know, they came after me with pitchforks. You know
it was they were just so protective. They thought it
was I mentioned nothing about women, and they made it
all about women.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You know, what I can get I can get in
exactly exact same of trouble on this station. If I
if I do this, Okay, I'm gonna do this, and
I'm gonna get in exactly the same trouble you got in. Ready,

Listen, I just called the office many times.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
Striker says plenty of things that are controversial, but he
has mastered the art of not being able to get
out of trouble.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
He's the aw shucks guy that walks.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
Into the office to the boss and it's impossible to
be mad at the guy.

Booker and Striker, it's all night, very good.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I get them mixed up sometimes, and I I didn't realize,
but I was asking the producer during the their segment, Hey,
which one's Booker and which one Striker?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
I don't believe that.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Did it come over the air? Did you hear it

to four and then come back here at four, is

Speaker 11 (21:00):

Speaker 3 (21:05):

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Conway Thompson. I feel like Larry Kay Hellkins. We're live
on kfive kfive AM six forty Conway Show, Mark Thompson. Yes,
you're sitting right here reporting for duty, sir. He's the
best man. Cool dude.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Love seeing you, Tim, Thank you, buddy.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
All right, let's see Beverly Hills construction stretches of Wilshire closed.
That's a big deal for a lot of people. Wilsh's
very popular. Thruway from the city out to the ocean.
What's going on with Wilshire Boulevard.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Traffic surrounding the road closure is chaotic at best, and
as you can see here, work crews are busy bees.
You're looking at construction work on yet another phase of
the ten billion dollar D Line subway extension projects, which
has been under way since the COVID lockdown in twenty twenty.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Where crews could have done what they usually do on
these projects, simply Cruise could have done what they usually
do on these.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Projects delay by not showing up cold.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Cruise could have done what they usually do on these projects.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Not meet the budget.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Where Cruise could have done what they usually do on
these projects.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Go home when in the weather it's not perfect.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Where Cruise could have done what they usually do on these.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Projects extended for five more years.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Simply do the job on weekends. But they are scrambling
to complete the entire project before the twenty twenty eight
Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You know this is a true story.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
There's an overpass in Burbank that goes from Victory Boulevard
over to San Fernando Boulevard, and it's on Burbank Boulevard.
So there's about seven or eight lanes that go over
the five Freeway and it's a really big bridge. It's
the main bridge that connects two parts of Burbank that
(22:50):
goes over the five Freeway. That project was supposed to
take two years to complete. That project took six and
a half years to complete. And in the time they
built the time that Caltrans built that bridge, the private
sector built Sofi Stadium. Wow, in the exact same amount
(23:12):
of months. As a matter of fact, the bridge took
about six months to eight months longer than Sofi Stadium.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Yeah, that's not that's a bad rag for the bridge,
for the bridge people.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
And in Sofi Stadium was delayed because of rain.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
So these guys have got to get this together.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
The project adding two new stations.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
It's going to connect.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Two new subway stations in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 11 (23:41):
It's going to connect downtown Los Angeles with West Los
Angeles in twenty five minutes, which is nearly impossible if
you're trying to navigate those streets with a car. This
is one of the transit projects that are scheduled for
completion before the arrival of the twenty twenty eight Olympics.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
That's pretty cool, tim if they can get done.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, but why are we always Why is our goal
always the Olympics?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Why not just the people live here?
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Well, I kind of equate it to what we do
at our house, which is the place has newspapers stacked
up all over the place. They're half read, books strewn everywhere.
The stuff is, you know, total clutter.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Food.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Yeah, some cat usually some cat waters all over the place.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
No, we don't have the turst. Please don't gin this story.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Yep, more than a But when we have guests over,
which we don't really do that often.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
But no, wonder why yeah, exactly, because we have.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
To clean the place. The place looks great when we
have guests over. Why can't we have it like that
all the time? We just don't. Because we don't have
guests over. We don't value our own city the way
we value our city.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
That will be represented a tourists.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
That makes sense, That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
I get that this stretch of Wilship Boulevard at Crescent Drive,
going about four blocks west will be shut down from
now until April seventh.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Wow, they're gonna shut wils Your boulevards down between now
and April seventh.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
That's brutal three weeks shut her down.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Work crews removing concrete deck panels used during construction of
the underground portion of the subway projects. The deck panels
allowing drivers to motor over the road during the underground work.
Speaker 11 (25:22):
We work closely with the City of Beverly Hills and
we proposed an alternative schedule for doing the decking operation
which compresses the work into a three week timeframe, and
that will free us from having to do eighteen weekends
of similar work in order to get this decking panels
(25:42):
removed and the street restored.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
The day Line Subway Extension creating those two new stations,
the wheel Shirt Rodeo Subway station.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Which Okay, these are the new stations they're producing here
in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Listen to this.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
The day Line Subway extension creating those two new stations.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
These two new stations.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Here we go, the wheel Shirt rode Subway station which
will connect down to La to the Wilshire the hospital
in Westwood.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Okay, let me ask you a question, Mark Thompson, when
that train stops.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
At the Wilshire Rodeo Subway Station.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Wilshire and Rodeo. Is that a pack station?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
You're saying that the crowd that's going to be coming
on those cars, those subway cars to that The implication
is to that stop may not want that.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
That piece of real estate isn't going to be very popular.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
The people live at Wilshire and Rodeo. Oh they've never
been on this shoe.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Oh you can never. I thought you might. Who's coming into.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Oh no, I'm talking about Is it a pack station?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
No, of course not.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
What's interesting to me is how the character of Rodeo
and Wiltshire is going to change because you have all
of these people now who are able to access that
area in a different way. Right, Oh yeah, sure, yeah,
I mean marking access to Beverly Hills. These are all
things that kind of our natural impediments to, you know, visiting.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
That's right. So this could be dropping off a lot
more in the way of foot traffic.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
The hospital in Westwood. The project being done in three phases.
Speaker 11 (27:15):
Very first segment between Wilshire Western and Wilshire Los Sianga
is scheduled to open later this year. The work we're
talking about today is in the second section, the Beverly
Hills at Century City section that's scheduled to be completed
next year.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You know why this has taken so long because the
people in Beverly Hills fought this forever.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I'm sure they did.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, they don't say that, but they fought this forever. Yeah,
because they think a criminal element is going to come
in on those subway stations. Sure not me, Then that's
what they think. No, of course that's I mean, I
think that's right. Because rich people don't want to be
around poor people. They like to be around rich people. Yeah,
that's why they live in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
That's probably true. Sadly it's true.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Sadly it's true. Sadly, so it's true. Yeah, rich people
don't like poor people. I think you can say they
don't like living near They definitely don't.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
In general, I have to say that's probably true.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
It's one hundred percent tra Yeah, you make a lot
of money. You want to leave poor people in the dust.
That's why you make a lot of money. All Right,

It's k if I AM six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
K if I Am said, Corner Conway.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
No, Mark Thompson's here, Yes, sir, A lot going on,
lot going on. We've been following the story of the
missing college student in the Dominican Republic.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, what's just what is the latest down that.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
They think she drowned?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Went out swimming with this kid who is a wrestler,
and he saved her in the in the ocean water,
and then he thought she was up on the shore
and then he was throwing up because he'd ingested so
much salt water trying to save her. He didn't realize
that that waves had grabbed her and brought her back
in the ocean.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
May have killed her on the ocean.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
But you know, I guarantee you the parents are killing
themselves for saying yeah, go ahead. You know, you know,
because when you're seventeen, eighteen, nineteen twenty, you always ask
your parents, Hey, do you mind if I can I
go to the Dominican Republic?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Can I go to Florida? Can I go to Palm Springs?
Can I go?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
You know?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
On a spring break to Texas, you know, Corpus Christian
whatever it is, and the parents are their natural instinct
is no, you know, please don't go. It's a long way,
there's a lot of craziness. Please don't go. If anything happened,
I'd be devastated. Please don't go. And then you say
to yourself, Okay, she's nineteen, she's twenty, she's got to
get out there. What are the odds of anything happening.
(01:33):
Just go, have a good time, make good choices, but
please be safe. And then you're up all night when
she's there, and every time the phone rings, you think
something happens. Every time she texts, you think something happens.
And then the worst nightmare in the world is you
get a call from the cops and then Dominican Republic
saying that you're they can't find your daughter. It's it's
(01:53):
the biggest nightmare.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
In the world.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
And the missing college student. The new developments after the
woman has gone missing is they think she may have
drowned in the ocean.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And that's a horrible, horrible.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Way to go.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
A heartbreaking development. Overnight, the family of Siddiha Kananki now
acknowledging that she likely drowned, and they really hope to
put this painful chapter behind them. And now the attorneys
for Joshua Reebe have filed a motion in a local
court to try to get him released so he can
go back home. This morning, the family of college students
said Dition Kananki, who vanished while on spring break in
(02:29):
the Dominican Republic, acknowledging they believe she died.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And so they have this college student as her oldest daughter.
You know, firstborn daughter is always you know, the greatest,
sure of the best. And then they have two younger
kids now that they have to raise and still deal
with the grief losing their daughter.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, they'll be haunted by them.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And those two kids are going to be overprotected by
mom and dad.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Rightfully, so I see.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And it's going to be a nightmare for the for
these for this family.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
You think they'll over they could. They'll have to resist
oversteering the other way, is what you're saying. I'm sure
they will. I'm sure they will.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
ABC News obtaining this formal written request to the Dominican police.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know what, let's talk to us, sam Z about this. Sam. Yes,
when parents do lose a child.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Are they overbearing and protective of the two of the
other kids that have survived or did not you know,
pass away?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Well, I mean a lot of times when things go
out of control for people, they tend to try to
micromanage and hyper control the little things that they can
so everything. I feel like in that situation, there's so
much out of control that they just want to make
sure that they keep everything that they can keep around
them as safest possible, and they.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Want to put this behind them so they can move on.
But then again, the theory is, look, if my daughter
is missing, I would never stop looking.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
For yeah, and and let's there's always going to be
that feeling of like, never give up hope until you
can actually get confirmation one word or the other. But
it's yeah, this is a situation that no parent ever
wants to be stuck in.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
It's heartbreaking, and.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
That the level of trauma that goes with seeing news
updates outraging things like that. I can't imagine the pain
that they're going through.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
And also, you know, once the you know the child
is missing and it's been a year or two years,
I imagine it gets a little easier, Like by micro
percentages maybe like one percent easier after a while, But
then every time you're in a restaurant or in a
mall and you see somebody who looks like your daughter,
(04:43):
you want to run up and look at that person.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Yeah, well, I'm not sure if it even gets easier.
It just becomes different. I mean, there's gonna be constant reminders.
You're gonna see little landmarks just driving by, and little
memories and things like that.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That's the worst. Yeah, and you see it.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It's horrible.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
We saw a lot of that with people who were
in the fire last month, where they're driving around their
old neighborhood and seeing landmarks that reminded them of happy times.
And now it's just a husk.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It's the worst, absolute worst. All right, It's get some
more information here on the new developments. After a woman
went missing in the Dominican.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Republic, the family asking for a legal declaration of death.
Cannky's parents also stating they trust the authorities investigation. The
letter saying the Kononkeys believe the last person who saw
their daughter has cooperated with the investigation and that there
is no evidence of.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Foul play unbelieved. That's a really, really a tough story.
All right, let's we have a where's my paper?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Here it is from the Valid from Valentine in the Morning,
John Ki's coment.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
She's with us, John, How you Bob?
Speaker 8 (05:54):
What's going on? Guys? I'm doing all right?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Co host with Valentine in the Morning on one four
point three.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I think that's my FM.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
That is correct. Yeah, A couple of feet above you,
but that's there. And I feel like I never see
people from downstairs as often.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I just went up to see Booker and Striker. They
haven't seen those cats in a while. I'm only literally
eight feet below them, and I never see the guys.
Speaker 8 (06:19):
It's this weirdest thing, man. You put a fly of
stairs between us and you never see anybody.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
It's a cooler floor too. The fifth floor is a
cool floor. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So last night, did you go to the iHeart Music Awards?
Speaker 8 (06:31):
Yes, sir, I was there last night Doby Theater at
the iHeartRadio Music Awards. It's one of my favorite events
to go to every year.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Oh yes, I bet it is. What were the big
surprises last night?
Speaker 8 (06:42):
You know what I mean? For me, like, it's just
it's the storylines that I love to follow, and one
of the ones that really excites me is Benson Boone.
He's the guy who won the biggest award of the
Nights for Song of the Year. And to me, this
is so crazy. The kid's like twenty two years old, right,
and like a couple of years ago, he's in high school,
didn't know he wanted to do music. He's in some
(07:03):
talent show, like a Battle of the Band's type situation,
and the lead singer gets sick and calls out, and
last minute Benson Boone has to step up, and people
all of a sudden tell him that he can sing,
and he's like, he didn't even think he knew he
could sing.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
Then goes on American Idol, drops out of American Idol
because everyone around him was taking their artistry so serious
and he's like, I don't even know if I want
to do that yet. So he leaves the American Idol,
decides to be an artist, and then a couple of
years later, after doing some music, he you know, has
no major hit yet, but he comes out with this
song called Beautiful Things at this time last year, and
(07:38):
that song his skyrocketed him, which is so insane to
me to think about that you could win Song of
the Year as essentially a new artist, Like we're only
really learning his name for the very first time over
this last year, and just because of that one song
that's the biggest selling song globally last year.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You know, I think I know that song. Yeah, yeah,
I know that song.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I didn't know the backstory about this kid.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Yeah, I think that's what's so cool is a lot
of us are familiar with that song, but we might
not be familiar with him as an artist yet. And
that's because he's been on the main stage for maybe
a year. And to win Song of the Year at
the iHeartRadio Music Awards after one year as an artists
at twenty two years old, like that is unheard of.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, that is great. We played a little of it
for people are unfamiliar with this song. It's really beautiful.
By Hey, I'm sick forty Conway show Mark Thompson is
here ding dong with that guy.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
He's got a very popular show on YouTube.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Right, Yes, you're the Mark Thompson Show. Oh yeah, it's
starting Marks Madness tomorrow. We played drops off against each other. Tim, Oh,
that's right, Yeah, yeah, you do it every march. Mark's
madness is we have brackets and listeners and viewers fill
out brackets, and they have brackets as to which drop
will beat out another drop and which drop will win
the tournament.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Which sound drops? So that's like one of the fun
things we do. And then we get back to you know,
Trump arrangement syndrome whatever we've got. So yeah, do.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You ever get in trouble with your audience, maybe you
say something that then.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
I got the libs killed me today. Oh no, And
you know I think I'm a lib among lives. Well,
I'm a I'm a tree hugger, so I'm not. I mean,
that's the lib part of me. But I said that,
I agreed we had a piece of sound, and Whoopi
Goldberg said something and I said, well, it's odd saying
(09:29):
this because I'm not a huge fan. I agree with
Whoopie Goldberg. I'm not a fan of the view. I
think it's just too much. And then I said it
like this, and I think that this is what offended people.
I said it just it just descends into a yap fest.
Because if you've watched the view, they have too many
people on that panel, and you can't hear what anybody's saying.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Right, And wait a minute, they got offended by that.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
Yeah, by the yap fest because they call in the
view the yap fest got you in trouble, Yes, because
they said well uh, And my news person said, well
do you uh? Why do you say that? I mean,
these are people just expressing different opinions. You say that
this is the FS because they're women.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Oh no, I wouldn't survive over that.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
And I said that.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
I said, no, I've said the same thing about ESPN
hour after hour after hour. They throw up some fake
controversy in the NBA and then they're all But the
thing about ESPN is they don't put too many people
on the panel.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
They're actually just three people there.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
When you get more than three people on a panel,
then you can't understand what anybody's saying. That's what makes
it the happens. But there was no defending me. I
mean I needed Johnny Cochran to get out of this.
They were like all over me.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
My own audienced him. They ain't be alive.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, that's the problem with that crew is they you
take one foot, you know, one lead off first, and
they'll they'll take out Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
They look they're really smart my audience, but I think
they I mean they're men. Certain things sensitive too. Triggers. Yeah,
there are triggers. I guess that's great. Yeah, got so
you have to watch everything you say on that sort.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I mean I normally I don't. I normally just let
it rip.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
But uh, this was so innocent, and I thought it
was kind of like a smart ass thing to say, like,
I'm not really a fan of the View.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
But I don't agree with let at Goldberg. I'm not
really a fan.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
But and I thought it was like one of those
things you say, but instead I get you know, yeah,
I got a wrung.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Up for it, and people like criticize you in the
and they oh, it was wild.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
What's the matter?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Mark can't take a little criticism this in my own audience?
I said, it's not that I don't mind criticism, which
is that this is it seems like it's not legitimate.
I mean, like, I didn't have this is not about women.
How did this whole women thing get started? Because the
View has women on it.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
But when you get off the air and you tell
that story to Courtney, don't you say, F everybody, all
my listeners, and F the people in the comments. I
bet you do.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
You know me, I'm just the opposite. I'm insecure, Like
are they right? Like I do?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Buddy.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
I actually told her the story and I said, and
I'm thinking, well maybe I maybe I was.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Was it offensive? I didn't think it was. Buddy, you
can't do that.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You know, if they find that offensive, tell them to
go find another YouTube show ye, that's what you.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Gotta tell them.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
No, no, no, I mean, it's it's just wild how they
were triggered by that.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I mean, it just it's it was weird. How defensive
I would say. She became. I wasn't. It had nothing,
It wasn't gender.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
All the good will you've built up over the last
two years, it gets buried because you make one comment
about those it's all.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
The good will.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
I mean, I don't think people are you know, are canceling.
But I'm just saying that it is wild. How they
you know, they came after me with pitchforks. You know
it was they were just so protective. They thought it
was I mentioned nothing about women, and they made it
all about women.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You know, what I can get I can get in
exactly exact same of trouble on this station. If I
if I do this, Okay, I'm gonna do this, and
I'm gonna get in exactly the same trouble you got in. Ready,
here we go. Watch the emails come in ready. I
love the view. I think all those women are great.
(12:58):
Watch what comes in now, that's great. Watch what comes
in now? Watch this, watch this tsunami that comes in.
I watch it every day. I love whoopee. I love
all the women. I think they're all hot, and I

Speaker 9 (14:46):
Have you been on this since the first day because
Striker has been enamored by this.
Speaker 2 (14:49):

soon into him sitting on the couch does his wife go, hey,

Speaker 2 (15:07):
I mean it's been going nine months?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Well, what's he's gonna ask for the hand?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I believe different, different sort of handstricker. Calm down, calmed
down over here. The show's right in PG.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
He's got to be paid for all of this, right,
he's in overtime after hate days.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Get ot what kind of pay do you get for this?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Well, will there be some sort of lassuit to get
this company?
Speaker 9 (15:26):
Like, hey, man, I just signed up for eight days
of this strap, not nine months.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
And he also has two of Elon musks rockets blew
up over last month and a half. And now he's
riding home on one of these things.
Speaker 10 (15:36):

He's on Later in the day.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You guys, this guy, You guys.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
We always get so many listeners who say, listen to
Booker and Striker all day long, and then when they
go to.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Music, we turn you on for a second.
Speaker 9 (15:52):
Can I ask one serious question? You are up on
this fifth floor, that's right. Are you in trouble?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
You know what reason to be up here?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I usually yeah, am, I'm usually go into it, you know,
hr to explain why we did an accent that doesn't

Speaker 2 (16:09):
You're the one bringing up hand five seconds ago.
Speaker 10 (16:11):
Well, no, Tim is like, how long until the wife says,
get off the couch and take the trash off.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Have you guys ever been suspended in my career? Yeah?
Many times? Okay, Striker, probably not. He is genuinely a
that guy. Me not so much. How many times you've
been suspended? Couple? Okay, that's good.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I think if you're not pushing the envelope. If you're not,
you're what are you doing exactly? They just call sports scores,
you know, Matt's five braves three.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Right, So what are you saying about me?
Speaker 10 (16:39):
I should go call like six three.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Listen, I just called the office many times.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
Striker says plenty of things that are controversial, but he
has mastered the art of not being able to get
out of trouble.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
He's the aw shucks guy that walks.
Speaker 9 (16:54):
Into the office to the boss and it's impossible to
be mad at the guy.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Look, he's he's the artful dodger.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
He's the art That is exactly what he is, artfulful dodger.
I'm glad you put a term to that. I got
in trouble a few months back. I was listening to
you guys in the car, and I knew I had

Speaker 3 (18:53):
I don't believe that.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Did it come over the air? Did you hear it

you're sitting right here reporting for duty, sir. He's the
best man. Cool dude.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Love seeing you, Tim, Thank you, buddy.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
All right, let's see Beverly Hills construction stretches of Wilshire closed.
That's a big deal for a lot of people. Wilsh's
very popular. Thruway from the city out to the ocean.
What's going on with Wilshire Boulevard.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Traffic surrounding the road closure is chaotic at best, and
as you can see here, work crews are busy bees.
You're looking at construction work on yet another phase of
the ten billion dollar D Line subway extension projects, which
has been under way since the COVID lockdown in twenty twenty.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Where crews could have done what they usually do on
these projects, simply Cruise could have done what they usually
do on these.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Projects delay by not showing up cold.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Cruise could have done what they usually do on these projects.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Not meet the budget.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Where Cruise could have done what they usually do on
these projects.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Go home when in the weather it's not perfect.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Where Cruise could have done what they usually do on these.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Projects extended for five more years.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Simply do the job on weekends. But they are scrambling
to complete the entire project before the twenty twenty eight
Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You know this is a true story.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
There's an overpass in Burbank that goes from Victory Boulevard
over to San Fernando Boulevard, and it's on Burbank Boulevard.
So there's about seven or eight lanes that go over
the five Freeway and it's a really big bridge. It's
the main bridge that connects two parts of Burbank that
(22:50):
goes over the five Freeway. That project was supposed to
take two years to complete. That project took six and
a half years to complete. And in the time they
built the time that Caltrans built that bridge, the private
sector built Sofi Stadium. Wow, in the exact same amount
(23:12):
of months. As a matter of fact, the bridge took
about six months to eight months longer than Sofi Stadium.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Yeah, that's not that's a bad rag for the bridge,
for the bridge people.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
And in Sofi Stadium was delayed because of rain.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
So these guys have got to get this together.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
The project adding two new stations.
Speaker 11 (23:38):
It's going to connect.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Two new subway stations in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 11 (23:41):
It's going to connect downtown Los Angeles with West Los
Angeles in twenty five minutes, which is nearly impossible if
you're trying to navigate those streets with a car. This
is one of the transit projects that are scheduled for
completion before the arrival of the twenty twenty eight Olympics.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
That's pretty cool, tim if they can get done.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, but why are we always Why is our goal
always the Olympics?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Why not just the people live here?
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Well, I kind of equate it to what we do
at our house, which is the place has newspapers stacked
up all over the place. They're half read, books strewn everywhere.
The stuff is, you know, total clutter.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Food.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Yeah, some cat usually some cat waters all over the place.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
No, we don't have the turst. Please don't gin this story.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Yep, more than a But when we have guests over,
which we don't really do that often.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
But no, wonder why yeah, exactly, because we have.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
To clean the place. The place looks great when we
have guests over. Why can't we have it like that
all the time? We just don't. Because we don't have
guests over. We don't value our own city the way
we value our city.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
That will be represented a tourists.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
That makes sense, That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
I get that this stretch of Wilship Boulevard at Crescent Drive,
going about four blocks west will be shut down from
now until April seventh.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Wow, they're gonna shut wils Your boulevards down between now
and April seventh.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
That's brutal three weeks shut her down.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Work crews removing concrete deck panels used during construction of
the underground portion of the subway projects. The deck panels
allowing drivers to motor over the road during the underground work.
Speaker 11 (25:22):
We work closely with the City of Beverly Hills and
we proposed an alternative schedule for doing the decking operation
which compresses the work into a three week timeframe, and
that will free us from having to do eighteen weekends
of similar work in order to get this decking panels
(25:42):
removed and the street restored.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
The day Line Subway Extension creating those two new stations,
the wheel Shirt Rodeo Subway station.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Which Okay, these are the new stations they're producing here
in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Listen to this.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
The day Line Subway extension creating those two new stations.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
These two new stations.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Here we go, the wheel Shirt rode Subway station which
will connect down to La to the Wilshire the hospital
in Westwood.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Okay, let me ask you a question, Mark Thompson, when
that train stops.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
At the Wilshire Rodeo Subway Station.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Wilshire and Rodeo. Is that a pack station?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
You're saying that the crowd that's going to be coming
on those cars, those subway cars to that The implication
is to that stop may not want that.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
That piece of real estate isn't going to be very popular.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
The people live at Wilshire and Rodeo. Oh they've never
been on this shoe.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Oh you can never. I thought you might. Who's coming into.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Oh no, I'm talking about Is it a pack station?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
No, of course not.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
What's interesting to me is how the character of Rodeo
and Wiltshire is going to change because you have all
of these people now who are able to access that
area in a different way. Right, Oh yeah, sure, yeah,
I mean marking access to Beverly Hills. These are all
things that kind of our natural impediments to, you know, visiting.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
That's right. So this could be dropping off a lot
more in the way of foot traffic.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
The hospital in Westwood. The project being done in three phases.
Speaker 11 (27:15):
Very first segment between Wilshire Western and Wilshire Los Sianga
is scheduled to open later this year. The work we're
talking about today is in the second section, the Beverly
Hills at Century City section that's scheduled to be completed
next year.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You know why this has taken so long because the
people in Beverly Hills fought this forever.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I'm sure they did.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, they don't say that, but they fought this forever. Yeah,
because they think a criminal element is going to come
in on those subway stations. Sure not me, Then that's
what they think. No, of course that's I mean, I
think that's right. Because rich people don't want to be
around poor people. They like to be around rich people. Yeah,
that's why they live in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
That's probably true. Sadly it's true.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Sadly it's true. Sadly, so it's true. Yeah, rich people
don't like poor people. I think you can say they
don't like living near They definitely don't.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
In general, I have to say that's probably true.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
It's one hundred percent tra Yeah, you make a lot
of money. You want to leave poor people in the dust.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
