Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
All right, that was the press conference. Sam Brandino, officer
deputy was killed up in Victorville.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Hector Quavis Junior.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
They said he was a father, but they I either
I missed it or they didn't talk about how old
his kids were, how many kids he had. I remember
them talking about them. But a very well respected guy
who has worked with as the sheriff said, you know,
the most dangerous gang members and yet could still relate
(00:41):
to the kids that he ran into on a daily
basis to make them feel like they were safe. He
has been up in the Victorville area for three years
and Sam Brandino has a tremendous, tremendous loss. They're going
to charge the young man who was running from the cops.
(01:03):
This is not his first time doing that, and they're
going to charge him with the death of a peace
officer on duty. That's probably going to be a massive sentence.
I know they're asking for no bail, and so it's
a very serious charge. And they'll take a look at
(01:24):
his at his you know, past, to take a look
at how many times he's done this and it's going
to be a long life for this guy now.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
For what stealing a car.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
And you know, this might might actually deter people in
the future from doing this, because if you are running
away from the cops and one of the cops gets
an accident and is killed, you're charged with that death,
even if it's the helicopter. If the police helicopter is
following you because you're running from the cops and that
(02:01):
helicopter either runs into a building or has a mechanical
or whatever, something happens that helicopter, if that helicopter was
involved in pursuit of you because you were stealing a
car and running away from the cops, you're most likely
going to be charged with the death of that officer.
And so instead of getting out in six hours and
(02:21):
going home and telling the family the story about what happened, now,
it might be twenty years, twenty five years, maybe more,
so we'll see. But they're asking for no bail, and
I'm sure that's going to be granted because people out
in San Bernardino, they have a tremendous respect for the
cops out there, except for this guy running away from
(02:44):
the cops today, So Hector Quavas Junior, and if we
have any more information on his on his wife, his kids,
when the service is going to be, you know, maybe
you'd like to attend. And there's gonna be a lot
of officers from around the country, perhaps around North America,
around the world come in town to pay their respects.
(03:07):
And we'll tell you when that service is going to be.
But a horrible, horrible Saint Patrick's Day for a business
that involved a lot of Irish guys in the day.
I don't know about anymore, but I know back in
the day lots of Irish guys went on to be cops.
Jim McDonald the head of Lapd, Irish guy who sounds
(03:29):
like he's Irish.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
By the way too.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
All right, we'll keep an eye on this. It's a
horrible story for sam Bergandino, but not just San Bergandino,
all the other police agencies surrounding southern California and the
United States. They all feel this when this happens, it
just it hurts a lot, and especially in San Bernardino.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
All right, we're live on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
KFI AM six forty. It is the Conway Show. Saint
Patrick's Day is here. Twenty twenty five March seventeenth, and
if you want the cool places to hang, Saint Patrick's
Day Molly Malone's. That's a layup on Fairfax near Wiltshire,
Authentic Irish festivities, iconic pub featuring live performances and the
(04:16):
event runs today six pm to eleven pm ten dollars cover.
I imagine they'll be open after eleven pm as well.
Saint Patrick's Day at Truly La that's at two sixteen
South Alameda Street, So get on down there and enjoy yourself.
Saint Patty's Bash at Tam o' shanter twenty nine eighty
Los Fiels Boulevard. It started at noon and it's a
(04:40):
Scottish them bar, but you'll get the you'll get the
vibe of it. VIP reservations available for one hundred and
forty nine dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Who seems high. Maybe there's a lot there. Maybe you
own the restaurant for that.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Saint Patrick's Day Celebration at Tom Bergen's is always cool.
Forty South Fairfax Avenue, established back in nineteen thirty six, Wow,
coming up on it one hundredth anniversary in eleven years.

And Saint Patrick's Day just a really cool day to
hang out and drink, but don't drive.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Get it, get it, get it, Ohko Magnini.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Saint Patrick's Day celebrations are taking a sober turn this year.
More people are skipping the booze and opting for mock
tails and alcohol free events.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I don't know any of these people.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Pub owners say they're seeing a growing demand for non
alcoholic drinks, especially from younger adults. Real efforts like sober
Saint Patrick's Day aim to have to focus away from
drinking and back to Irish heritage and community.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I'd see the difference in younger people drinking non alcohol
maybe people in the thirties to forty age, I'd call
that young now, like would be drinking mocktails and non
alcohol bears, you know, especially during.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
The week, especially during the week. Organizers say this reflects
a larger trend towards health conscious celebrations, and they say
by the way.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
If you want to stay single your whole life, you
don't never want to get involved with the opposite sex.
Use the term mocktails a lot. Bring that into your vocabulary.
Use it as much as you can, and by the
time you're sixty five, you'll be alone in an apartment
on Sherman Way somewhere and they'll know you as the
(06:49):
old mocktail guy. So keep that up if that's the
life you want for yourself, sixty five Sherman Way and
caster by yourself with friends who are also used to
term mocktails.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Many are finding a new way to honor old traditions.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Krispy Kreme is celebrating Saint Patrick's Day with free donuts,
but you don't need to be wearing a certain color
to get one. Customers, I should say, you do need
to wear a certain color.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Okay, So it's exactly the opposite.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Krispy Kreme is celebrating Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Okay, I got that so far, free donuts.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
We don't need to be wearing a certain color to.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Get one, Okay, you just wear anything, right.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Customers, I should say you do need to wear a
certain color to get one.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Customers wear green ah the Green, the wearing of the
green that's new.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
To participating locations tomorrow will earn a green version of
the chain's original glaze donut.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
They've meant today, but this may have been on yesterday.
So today you got to get wear green. Go to
Krispy Kreme and get a donut.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
No purchase necessary to get your hands on that free treat.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
There you go, no purchase necessary. I remember the days
when you didn't have to jump through hoops to get
a freebie. Okay, right, remember that it was just the
light had to be on.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Right, What the trap is? You go there and you're
not going to just buy one?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
No, because you finished the free one before you even leave.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Take that?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, but that fresh free one, that warm free one.
Oh man, it's the best, the absolute best. Andy Reesmir
did something cool about Ireland and Irish Day and Irish
bar cow about a bar.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
Where there's no sports on TV because there are no TVs,
just you and whoever you came with, cool, authentic, original
Irish fund riffins of Kinsales, the kind of bar that's
all about food, drinks and your community.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
People that are away from home in Ireland, they come
here to us and they say we're the number one spot.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Usually pretty chill. The South Pasidina Pub is going all
out for Monday.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It's very rowdy here.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
They packed the front patio, they packed the inside of
the bar.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
We got the basement packed.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Stop in for a full Irish breakfast bacon, eggs, tomatoes,
pancakes and sausage. This here little blood sausage.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Oh looks good man root.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Taste you and.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
You'll notice no green beer on the menu here, but
they don't mind if you bring.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Your own dot.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
My first beer on Fairfax is the legendary tom Bergins,
Yes opening formed since nineteen thirty six, nearly closed a
handful of times, it's been going strong under its current ownership.
Great food, keggs, a Guinness, and of course they're famous
for Irish coffee, maybe the best in anywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It's the go to at Tom's and while.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
You sit, look up at the feeling picking out famous
names that reveled before ye and what goes better with
coffee than breakfast. Bergens is open starting at six am
for Saint Patti's Day. Any Irish bar that's packed the
Thursday before Saint Patrick's Day is probably going.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
To be busy.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
I'm talking to.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
You just up Fairfax. Another real survivor, Molly Malones.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Oh, molly Malone's is the best. My Uncle's used to play.
Molly Malone's Great great spot.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Molly's closed last year after a fire tore through the
front of the nearly century old bar. After a long rebuild,
it's back open and better than ever because it's exactly
how you remember it. A classic pub, efficient, affordable, immediately friendly,
a great place to hang with friends.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
They opened at eight am Monday, with.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Live music starting at noon, Irish stuff, dancing, bagpipers and more,
plus all the Irish food you can eat, and of course,
as a tradition, I still got it.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Happy Saint Patrick's Day. What a night to get out
there and enjoy yourself. But please don't drink and drive.
There are a lot of services out there. They can
prevent you from that duy lift you got, way mo
you got what is the one night uber. There's a
ton of them out there, So it's the best twenty
(10:49):
thirty forty bucks you could ever spend. Where you sleep
in your own bed as opposed to a jail cell.
Perhaps for ten years for thirty dollars seems like a
sweet deal.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I rely on KFI moorn Out Crush.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
KFI AM six. It is The Conway Show. We carried
a press conference earlier. There is some bad news coming
out of sam Bernardino police officer has lost his life,
Hector Cuervis and Junior.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I'm sorry, Hector Quervis Junior.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
He was patrolling up in Victorville, part of the San
Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, got into a police chase, got
into an accident and died on the scene. And they
just identified the officer and the deputy and we don't
know much more about his family. But as that information
comes in, we'll have that for you and the service
(11:55):
where you can go maybe you can help the family out.
We'll have all the information over the next week or two,
and I'm sure there'll be a big, huge service for
this young man in San Bernardino and we will have
that for you. All that information, we will bring it
to you immediately. But a very very sad, sad Saint
(12:18):
Patrick's day here in southern California. All right across the country,
we've had storm and wind alerts. I don't know if
you saw this, but over forty people had passed away
in the Midwest because of these unbelievable storms, tornadoes, twisters,
(12:40):
high winds, lightning, thunder, floods.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
It's been a complete mess.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I think it was that storm that was here, you know,
four or five, six days ago, and as it crosses
the country it got more violent. It was responsible for
at least forty people had died. Forty people, which is
a lot.
Speaker 9 (12:58):
And we've got alerts all over the map.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Again, that low.
Speaker 9 (13:01):
Pressure system is already in the Rocky Mountains and that's
why you see those winters warnings out there. But I
want your eye to go to the high wind warnings
New Mexico, parts of Texas. There's also blowing dust advisories there.
But fifty million Americans have Red flag warnings. Remember that
is fire danger. And so from Kansas City and Iowa
back to Texas and Oklahoma too, we're going to have
a couple of days days with that, I'll tell you
(13:22):
about the winter storm watches and the blizzard coming on Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
That's on the top end of this.
Speaker 9 (13:26):
But look at those gus fifty to seventy five miles
per hour. You pair that with relative humidity as low
as ten percent, and that's where you're going to get
fire problems all the way through tomorrow. Unlike most nights,
you're not gonna see the winds go down tonight and Oklahoma,
you'll actually see them go up. And that's why we
find a level three out of the three top level
extreme fire danger Tomorrow and the blizzard on Wednesday will
(13:46):
bring gus upwards of sixty miles per hour with three
to six inches of snow going to make visibility really hard.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, So if you're traveling anywhere, please check with your lines,
because there's gonna be a lot of cancelations. A lot
they're already have been, but there's be a lot lot more,
all right. Macy's and Walgreens. Retail giants like Macy's and
Walgreens are facing financial turmoil. We just saw Forever twenty
one go out of business, and now it looks like
there might be some more stores going dark.
Speaker 10 (14:14):
Americans are pulling back on their dollars and retailers are
feeling it. Thousands of stores are expected to close this year.
Joe Ant's is closing all of its eight hundred fabric
stores in the US running final bargain sales while infuriating customers.
The bankrupt retailer refuses to accept its own gift cards.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Oh no, oh no.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
A lot of people have a lot of gift cards
and they're saying, no, we're not using them anymore. That's terrible,
terrible news for gift card holders. For Joe Anne's.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
Refuses to accept its own gift cards, making them worthless.
Despite going out of business, sales expected to run for weeks.
Even the oldest company in North America is in crisis
after surviving three hundred and fifty five years of change
when it is Hudson Bay Company, can't pay its debts,
can't find financing, and this weekend is considering closing all
(15:07):
its stores. Wow, it's not alone. Macy's is closing sixty
six more stores, Walgreens five hundred, and Denny's done with
one hundred and seventy eight of its diners. The pandemic
a boon for businesses, online hurt foot traffic, inflation, then
tightening people's wallets. USA Today's Money and Consumer editor Serise Jones.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Well, it's very important that people spend to kind of
keep businesses running to keep people in the workforce.
Speaker 10 (15:35):
How big of a deal is consumer sentiment?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
It's huge. Yeah, I think I nailed that one. It's huge.
It's huge, huge, it's huge.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
When consumers are nervous, that makes Wall Street nervous. But
a surprise and comeback for Barnes and Noble now writing
it's own success story.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
How about that? Barnes and Nobles making a comeback.
Speaker 10 (15:55):
Now writing its own success.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
Story every shelf through out Discoveries.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
The book selling giant is seeing record sales, ninety two
percent of those happening in stores. According to CEO James
Dott At.
Speaker 11 (16:08):
The moment, retail is all about the experience.
Speaker 10 (16:10):
The company plans to open at least sixty more stores
in twenty twenty five. Five years ago, it was just three.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Wow, that's amazing. You know, we all thought that Amazon
was going to wipe out the bookstore, but they're making
a comeback.
Speaker 10 (16:23):
Don attributes the company's new chapter to making stores more
inviting for customers. What changes have you implemented since you've
been CEO?
Speaker 11 (16:31):
In twenty nineteen, the business was in big trouble. COVID
wasn't helpful either. When we had to close because of COVID.
We didn't lay off our people or follow them. We
kept them in the stores with the lights on and
told them to sort out their stores, make it attractive
so that when we reopened, we actually have different stores,
much more vibrant stores.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
There's a great ceo. There's a cool guy.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Didn't hire and fire anybody, just said, hey, well we're closed,
let's clean this place.
Speaker 10 (16:59):
Uprint story here. When Joe anne closes it stores nationwide,
nineteen thousand will be out of work.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Oh all right, nineteen thousand people at joe Anne's.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That's a cool store.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I went there once or twice with my wife and
my daughter, you know, getting fabric to you.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Know, a crozier.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
When I was growing up, they didn't have this, but
now they got it everywhere. Maybe they didn't have it
when you were growing up either, get pajama day in school?
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Oh god, you know what I think. So but it's
been so damn long, but I definitely had it, you know,
with my kids had to do all that.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
My kid, my daughter did it.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I had never heard of it until my daughter was
in like fifth grade and she was walking out of
the house and she's wearing her pajamas.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I said, oh, yeah, what's going on? What's going on?
Speaker 12 (17:44):

I don't think I would have participated.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I wasn't that guy. I wasn't the spirit guy.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
You know, every every class has a different color and
the rallies, the spirit rallies and all that stuff.
Speaker 8 (18:13):

Speaker 6 (18:42):

Speaker 2 (18:43):
You know there's big, wide empty pockets. You know, how
do you put anything in that pocket and hoping that
it's there when you land. It's going to fall out
wallet keys money. People are too casual for me nowadays,
too casual. I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (18:57):

The Delta Regional flight a rhyme from Jacksonville, Florida, just
after ten Sunday nights eighty passengers and crew on board.
Conditions were sub up but not extreme, wins gusting to
thirty five miles per hour with some mist in the air.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It seems like you're right less than optimal.
Speaker 13 (21:09):
The plane then circling for another landing attempt. In a statement,
Delta says the crew executed a go around, then landed
safely and proceeded to its arrival gate, adding, we apologize
to our customers for the experience tonight. That aircraft remains
grounded at LaGuardia out of service. There's no immediate indication
when it may return to the air.

The flight operated by the same regional carrier involved in
this dangerous incident last month, fiery crash landing at Toronto's airport.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
U oh, same crew or here in New York.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
There were no reported impacts.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I mean not the same crew, but the same airline
or here in New York.
Speaker 13 (21:59):
There were no reports impacts or injuries at LaGuardia, but

able to land this plane.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, bird went right through the windshield, and.
Speaker 14 (22:28):
He said they hit the bird about five thousand feet
in the air. The windshields cracked, exposing nearly the entire
cockpit and creating an extremely dangerous situation.
Speaker 12 (22:38):
I just thought, like, what was happened here? And I
look at my friend face. It's like a horror movie,
all block covering his face, and we're all shaking because
it's very cold. My friend Hanna's kind of stopped shaking
like this.
Speaker 14 (22:51):
Pilot Doctor Gama Giardi says he, along with his co
pilot and passenger, are lucky to be alive. They were
coming back from a day trip to Las Vegas and
ran into trubble going through the New Hat Pass Saturday night.
Speaker 12 (23:02):
Suddenly it's just exploded. I don't understand what happened. I
just thought that probably some engine part throw up to
the window the windshield, and then it's cracked.
Speaker 14 (23:12):
The impact shattered the windshield of the Baron B fifty
five twin engine aircraft.
Speaker 12 (23:17):
I tried to declare mede. I called media Mede, but
I cannot hear anything because the noise is so loud.
Speaker 14 (23:22):
He had to make an emergency landing at the Vanay's
airport with the windshield basically destroyed.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Wow, how about that landing without a windshield?
Speaker 12 (23:29):
Then I realized I didn't feel anything. It's like maybe
God put a like invisible wall in front of me
and I can see everything clearly, just like a normal landing.
But I was terrified.
Speaker 14 (23:40):
He says they didn't know they hit a bird until
they were on the ground. Bird strikes like this are
becoming more common. The latest data from the FAA recorded
over nineteen thousand wildlife strikes in twenty twenty three. Now
this includes birds, deer, and other animals at seven hundred
and thirteen US airports. Two weeks ago, a FedEx plane
took off from Newark, hit a bird and caught fire.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, they got to do something about that.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I don't know how to keep birds out of the engines,
but so far they're not doing a good job at that.
Speaker 14 (24:06):
And in December, a bird struck one of the plane's
engines on an American Airlines flight after take off at
New York's LaGuardia Airport. In both cases, no one got hurt.
With over a decade of flying experience, Gerardi says it's
crucial for palletts to keep training and stay aware of
their surrounding.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It's amazing how much how a tiny little bird can
take out an aircraft. They have too much power, you know,
like a snake or a like a tiny snake could
bite an elephant and kill it. A tiny spider can
bite an elephant and kill it. And the you know,
(24:45):
the brown back spider, if it bites an elephant, it
could literally kill an elephant.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
That's four or five six pounds. That's too much power.
That's too much power.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
And these birds they can take out a seven forty
seven with four hundred people on board. They have too
much power. We've got to take the power away from
these birds.
Speaker 14 (25:03):
And despite what happened, he's ready to get back in
the air.
Speaker 12 (25:06):
I believe that I have to go up again at
the same New Hall Pass. We had a small airplane
at night. Because I have to beat my fear. Then
I don't drawn into my trauma. I'm gonna go out
maybe tomorrow or the next two days.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah, that might be a solo trip. It'd be tough
to get friends to go with you on that one.
Speaker 14 (25:22):
The copilot did suffer some injuries.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
To his face, but.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
He's okay and real Quickly lost at sea, a Peruvian
fisherman got lost. He was out there for ninety five
days on the ocean.
Speaker 15 (25:34):
Hollywood ending for a man lost at sea for more
than three months. Peruvian fisherman Maximo Napa.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
You mean you mean? Played by Tom Hanks.
Speaker 15 (25:44):
Peruvian fisherman Maximo Nappa played by Tom Hanks reunited with
his brother after a two week fishing trip turned into
a ninety five day nightmare. Napa saying, I ate roaches, birds, turtles.
I didn't want to die.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Is that? When he got home?
Speaker 15 (26:00):
P o'tom Napa saying, I ate roaches, I ate roaches, birds, turtles.
I didn't want to die because of my mother and
I have a two month old granddaughter. On Deceemner seventh,
he set off on a fishing trip from southern Peru.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
His boat stocked with two weeks.
Speaker 15 (26:16):
Worth of food, but ten days of stormy weather blew
him off course. His family launching a search, but Peru's
maritime patrols were unable to locate him. It was a
fishing patrol from Ecuador that finally spotted him last week,
nearly seven hundred miles off the coast, badly, seven hundred
miles off course, badly, dehydrated, and uncritical condition. Napa saying,
(26:37):
God is beautiful. He protected me. He says he had
gone the last fifteen days without eating.
Speaker 13 (26:43):
I'm feeling.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I'm a little better than I was, so I can.
Speaker 15 (26:47):
Tell you two years ago, Sailor Timothy shadowed.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, that's amazing. Seven hundred miles off course. All right,
Happy Saint Patrick's day. Bo Kelly coming up next right
here on KFI AM sixty Conway Show, on demand on
the iHeartRadio app. Now, you can always hear us live
on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm Monday
through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
All right, that was the press conference. Sam Brandino, officer
deputy was killed up in Victorville.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Hector Quavis Junior.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
They said he was a father, but they I either
I missed it or they didn't talk about how old
his kids were, how many kids he had. I remember
them talking about them. But a very well respected guy
who has worked with as the sheriff said, you know,
the most dangerous gang members and yet could still relate
(00:41):
to the kids that he ran into on a daily
basis to make them feel like they were safe. He
has been up in the Victorville area for three years
and Sam Brandino has a tremendous, tremendous loss. They're going
to charge the young man who was running from the cops.
(01:03):
This is not his first time doing that, and they're
going to charge him with the death of a peace
officer on duty. That's probably going to be a massive sentence.
I know they're asking for no bail, and so it's
a very serious charge. And they'll take a look at
(01:24):
his at his you know, past, to take a look
at how many times he's done this and it's going
to be a long life for this guy now.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
For what stealing a car.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
And you know, this might might actually deter people in
the future from doing this, because if you are running
away from the cops and one of the cops gets
an accident and is killed, you're charged with that death,
even if it's the helicopter. If the police helicopter is
following you because you're running from the cops and that
(02:01):
helicopter either runs into a building or has a mechanical
or whatever, something happens that helicopter, if that helicopter was
involved in pursuit of you because you were stealing a
car and running away from the cops, you're most likely
going to be charged with the death of that officer.
And so instead of getting out in six hours and
(02:21):
going home and telling the family the story about what happened, now,
it might be twenty years, twenty five years, maybe more,
so we'll see. But they're asking for no bail, and
I'm sure that's going to be granted because people out
in San Bernardino, they have a tremendous respect for the
cops out there, except for this guy running away from
(02:44):
the cops today, So Hector Quavas Junior, and if we
have any more information on his on his wife, his kids,
when the service is going to be, you know, maybe
you'd like to attend. And there's gonna be a lot
of officers from around the country, perhaps around North America,
around the world come in town to pay their respects.
(03:07):
And we'll tell you when that service is going to be.
But a horrible, horrible Saint Patrick's Day for a business
that involved a lot of Irish guys in the day.
I don't know about anymore, but I know back in
the day lots of Irish guys went on to be cops.
Jim McDonald the head of Lapd, Irish guy who sounds
(03:29):
like he's Irish.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
By the way too.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
All right, we'll keep an eye on this. It's a
horrible story for sam Bergandino, but not just San Bergandino,
all the other police agencies surrounding southern California and the
United States. They all feel this when this happens, it
just it hurts a lot, and especially in San Bernardino.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
All right, we're live on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
KFI AM six forty. It is the Conway Show. Saint
Patrick's Day is here. Twenty twenty five March seventeenth, and

Day Molly Malone's. That's a layup on Fairfax near Wiltshire,

I imagine they'll be open after eleven pm as well.
Saint Patrick's Day at Truly La that's at two sixteen
South Alameda Street, So get on down there and enjoy yourself.
Saint Patty's Bash at Tam o' shanter twenty nine eighty
Los Fiels Boulevard. It started at noon and it's a

Scottish them bar, but you'll get the you'll get the
vibe of it. VIP reservations available for one hundred and
forty nine dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Who seems high. Maybe there's a lot there. Maybe you

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Saint Patrick's Day Celebration at Tom Bergen's is always cool.
Forty South Fairfax Avenue, established back in nineteen thirty six, Wow,

And Saint Patrick's Day just a really cool day to
hang out and drink, but don't drive.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Get it, get it, get it, Ohko Magnini.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Saint Patrick's Day celebrations are taking a sober turn this year.
More people are skipping the booze and opting for mock
tails and alcohol free events.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I don't know any of these people.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Pub owners say they're seeing a growing demand for non
alcoholic drinks, especially from younger adults. Real efforts like sober
Saint Patrick's Day aim to have to focus away from
drinking and back to Irish heritage and community.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I'd see the difference in younger people drinking non alcohol
maybe people in the thirties to forty age, I'd call
that young now, like would be drinking mocktails and non
alcohol bears, you know, especially during.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
The week, especially during the week. Organizers say this reflects
a larger trend towards health conscious celebrations, and they say
by the way.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
If you want to stay single your whole life, you
don't never want to get involved with the opposite sex.
Use the term mocktails a lot. Bring that into your vocabulary.
Use it as much as you can, and by the
time you're sixty five, you'll be alone in an apartment
on Sherman Way somewhere and they'll know you as the
(06:49):
old mocktail guy. So keep that up if that's the
life you want for yourself, sixty five Sherman Way and
caster by yourself with friends who are also used to
term mocktails.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Many are finding a new way to honor old traditions.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Krispy Kreme is celebrating Saint Patrick's Day with free donuts,
but you don't need to be wearing a certain color
to get one. Customers, I should say, you do need
to wear a certain color.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Okay, So it's exactly the opposite.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Krispy Kreme is celebrating Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Okay, I got that so far, free donuts.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
We don't need to be wearing a certain color to.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Get one, Okay, you just wear anything, right.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Customers, I should say you do need to wear a
certain color to get one.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Customers wear green ah the Green, the wearing of the
green that's new.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
To participating locations tomorrow will earn a green version of
the chain's original glaze donut.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
They've meant today, but this may have been on yesterday.
So today you got to get wear green. Go to
Krispy Kreme and get a donut.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
No purchase necessary to get your hands on that free treat.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
There you go, no purchase necessary. I remember the days
when you didn't have to jump through hoops to get
a freebie. Okay, right, remember that it was just the
light had to be on.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Right, What the trap is? You go there and you're
not going to just buy one?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
No, because you finished the free one before you even leave.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Take that?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, but that fresh free one, that warm free one.
Oh man, it's the best, the absolute best. Andy Reesmir
did something cool about Ireland and Irish Day and Irish
bar cow about a bar.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
Where there's no sports on TV because there are no TVs,
just you and whoever you came with, cool, authentic, original
Irish fund riffins of Kinsales, the kind of bar that's
all about food, drinks and your community.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
People that are away from home in Ireland, they come
here to us and they say we're the number one spot.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Usually pretty chill. The South Pasidina Pub is going all
out for Monday.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It's very rowdy here.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
They packed the front patio, they packed the inside of
the bar.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
We got the basement packed.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Stop in for a full Irish breakfast bacon, eggs, tomatoes,
pancakes and sausage. This here little blood sausage.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Oh looks good man root.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Taste you and.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
You'll notice no green beer on the menu here, but
they don't mind if you bring.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Your own dot.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
My first beer on Fairfax is the legendary tom Bergins,
Yes opening formed since nineteen thirty six, nearly closed a
handful of times, it's been going strong under its current ownership.
Great food, keggs, a Guinness, and of course they're famous
for Irish coffee, maybe the best in anywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It's the go to at Tom's and while.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
You sit, look up at the feeling picking out famous
names that reveled before ye and what goes better with
coffee than breakfast. Bergens is open starting at six am
for Saint Patti's Day. Any Irish bar that's packed the
Thursday before Saint Patrick's Day is probably going.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
To be busy.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
I'm talking to.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
You just up Fairfax. Another real survivor, Molly Malones.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Oh, molly Malone's is the best. My Uncle's used to play.
Molly Malone's Great great spot.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Molly's closed last year after a fire tore through the
front of the nearly century old bar. After a long rebuild,
it's back open and better than ever because it's exactly
how you remember it. A classic pub, efficient, affordable, immediately friendly,
a great place to hang with friends.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
They opened at eight am Monday, with.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Live music starting at noon, Irish stuff, dancing, bagpipers and more,
plus all the Irish food you can eat, and of course,
as a tradition, I still got it.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Happy Saint Patrick's Day. What a night to get out
there and enjoy yourself. But please don't drink and drive.
There are a lot of services out there. They can
prevent you from that duy lift you got, way mo
you got what is the one night uber. There's a
ton of them out there, So it's the best twenty
(10:49):
thirty forty bucks you could ever spend. Where you sleep
in your own bed as opposed to a jail cell.
Perhaps for ten years for thirty dollars seems like a
sweet deal.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I rely on KFI moorn Out Crush.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
KFI AM six. It is The Conway Show. We carried
a press conference earlier. There is some bad news coming
out of sam Bernardino police officer has lost his life,
Hector Cuervis and Junior.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
I'm sorry, Hector Quervis Junior.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
He was patrolling up in Victorville, part of the San
Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, got into a police chase, got
into an accident and died on the scene. And they
just identified the officer and the deputy and we don't
know much more about his family. But as that information
comes in, we'll have that for you and the service
(11:55):
where you can go maybe you can help the family out.
We'll have all the information over the next week or two,
and I'm sure there'll be a big, huge service for
this young man in San Bernardino and we will have
that for you. All that information, we will bring it
to you immediately. But a very very sad, sad Saint
(12:18):
Patrick's day here in southern California. All right across the country,
we've had storm and wind alerts. I don't know if
you saw this, but over forty people had passed away
in the Midwest because of these unbelievable storms, tornadoes, twisters,
(12:40):
high winds, lightning, thunder, floods.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
It's been a complete mess.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I think it was that storm that was here, you know,
four or five, six days ago, and as it crosses
the country it got more violent. It was responsible for
at least forty people had died. Forty people, which is
a lot.
Speaker 9 (12:58):
And we've got alerts all over the map.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Again, that low.
Speaker 9 (13:01):
Pressure system is already in the Rocky Mountains and that's
why you see those winters warnings out there. But I
want your eye to go to the high wind warnings
New Mexico, parts of Texas. There's also blowing dust advisories there.
But fifty million Americans have Red flag warnings. Remember that
is fire danger. And so from Kansas City and Iowa
back to Texas and Oklahoma too, we're going to have
a couple of days days with that, I'll tell you
(13:22):
about the winter storm watches and the blizzard coming on Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
That's on the top end of this.
Speaker 9 (13:26):
But look at those gus fifty to seventy five miles
per hour. You pair that with relative humidity as low
as ten percent, and that's where you're going to get
fire problems all the way through tomorrow. Unlike most nights,
you're not gonna see the winds go down tonight and Oklahoma,
you'll actually see them go up. And that's why we
find a level three out of the three top level
extreme fire danger Tomorrow and the blizzard on Wednesday will
(13:46):
bring gus upwards of sixty miles per hour with three
to six inches of snow going to make visibility really hard.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, So if you're traveling anywhere, please check with your lines,
because there's gonna be a lot of cancelations. A lot
they're already have been, but there's be a lot lot more,
all right. Macy's and Walgreens. Retail giants like Macy's and
Walgreens are facing financial turmoil. We just saw Forever twenty
one go out of business, and now it looks like
there might be some more stores going dark.
Speaker 10 (14:14):
Americans are pulling back on their dollars and retailers are
feeling it. Thousands of stores are expected to close this year.
Joe Ant's is closing all of its eight hundred fabric
stores in the US running final bargain sales while infuriating customers.
The bankrupt retailer refuses to accept its own gift cards.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Oh no, oh no.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
A lot of people have a lot of gift cards
and they're saying, no, we're not using them anymore. That's terrible,
terrible news for gift card holders. For Joe Anne's.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
Refuses to accept its own gift cards, making them worthless.
Despite going out of business, sales expected to run for weeks.
Even the oldest company in North America is in crisis
after surviving three hundred and fifty five years of change
when it is Hudson Bay Company, can't pay its debts,
can't find financing, and this weekend is considering closing all
(15:07):
its stores. Wow, it's not alone. Macy's is closing sixty
six more stores, Walgreens five hundred, and Denny's done with
one hundred and seventy eight of its diners. The pandemic
a boon for businesses, online hurt foot traffic, inflation, then
tightening people's wallets. USA Today's Money and Consumer editor Serise Jones.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Well, it's very important that people spend to kind of
keep businesses running to keep people in the workforce.
Speaker 10 (15:35):
How big of a deal is consumer sentiment?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
It's huge. Yeah, I think I nailed that one. It's huge.
It's huge, huge, it's huge.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
When consumers are nervous, that makes Wall Street nervous. But
a surprise and comeback for Barnes and Noble now writing
it's own success story.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
How about that? Barnes and Nobles making a comeback.
Speaker 10 (15:55):
Now writing its own success.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
Story every shelf through out Discoveries.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
The book selling giant is seeing record sales, ninety two
percent of those happening in stores. According to CEO James
Dott At.
Speaker 11 (16:08):
The moment, retail is all about the experience.
Speaker 10 (16:10):
The company plans to open at least sixty more stores
in twenty twenty five. Five years ago, it was just three.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Wow, that's amazing. You know, we all thought that Amazon
was going to wipe out the bookstore, but they're making
a comeback.
Speaker 10 (16:23):
Don attributes the company's new chapter to making stores more
inviting for customers. What changes have you implemented since you've
been CEO?
Speaker 11 (16:31):
In twenty nineteen, the business was in big trouble. COVID
wasn't helpful either. When we had to close because of COVID.
We didn't lay off our people or follow them. We
kept them in the stores with the lights on and
told them to sort out their stores, make it attractive
so that when we reopened, we actually have different stores,
much more vibrant stores.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
There's a great ceo. There's a cool guy.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Didn't hire and fire anybody, just said, hey, well we're closed,
let's clean this place.
Speaker 10 (16:59):
Uprint story here. When Joe anne closes it stores nationwide,
nineteen thousand will be out of work.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Oh all right, nineteen thousand people at joe Anne's.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That's a cool store.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I went there once or twice with my wife and
my daughter, you know, getting fabric to you.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Know, a crozier.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
When I was growing up, they didn't have this, but
now they got it everywhere. Maybe they didn't have it
when you were growing up either, get pajama day in school?
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Oh god, you know what I think. So but it's
been so damn long, but I definitely had it, you know,
with my kids had to do all that.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
My kid, my daughter did it.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I had never heard of it until my daughter was
in like fifth grade and she was walking out of
the house and she's wearing her pajamas.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I said, oh, yeah, what's going on? What's going on?
Speaker 12 (17:44):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Hey, get in here? What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
And she goes, it's pajama day. Go where a school?
I go, what what? Everyone's wearing pajamas? Yeah? Yeah, dad's
a thing. All right, Well she went to school in
pajama day. But we didn't have that growing up, and
I don't think I would have participated.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I wasn't that guy. I wasn't the spirit guy.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
You know, every every class has a different color and
the rallies, the spirit rallies and all that stuff.
Speaker 8 (18:13):
I did never hear that guy. Yeah. Plus, the idea
of going to school in pajamas is.

Uh breezy, yeah kidding, especially in the winter.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Yeah yeah right, kids are almost every day is pajama day.
Speaker 3 (18:29):

see it in airports, you know, you take a plane
to New York and guy's the next years in pajamas, Like,
how's this guy traveling?
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
You know there's big, wide empty pockets. You know, how
do you put anything in that pocket and hoping that
it's there when you land. It's going to fall out
wallet keys money. People are too casual for me nowadays,
too casual. I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I like it at all.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
All.
Speaker 2 (18:58):

Speaker 13 (19:46):
Air traffic Control pointing out the incident.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Somebody got the sparks from one of your wings.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
You guys feel anything?
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Do you guys?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Feel anything like the wing hitting the runway at one
hundred and eighty miles an hour, sparks flying, and a
a lot of crunching noises. You guys up front, you
guys hear any of that? Prapp No?
Speaker 13 (20:05):
Yeah, oh yeah, No, I feel anything?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Do you feel anything up there? Fellas gals, guys, whoever's up.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
There, feel anything, feel anything? I don't know what do
you think?
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Delta?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Oh oh.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Oh no, oh no, oh man, it's not been a
good month for women pilots.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
You know the plane that ended up in Toronto upside down?
Just say it.
Speaker 13 (20:38):
The Delta Regional flight a rhyme from jackson that did sound.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Like a woman's voice, isn't it. Oh No, I can't
blame women for that, But.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 13 (20:51):
The Delta Regional flight a rhyme from Jacksonville, Florida, just
after ten Sunday nights eighty passengers and crew on board.
Conditions were sub up but not extreme, wins gusting to
thirty five miles per hour with some mist in the air.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It seems like you're right less than optimal.
Speaker 13 (21:09):
The plane then circling for another landing attempt. In a statement,
Delta says the crew executed a go around, then landed
safely and proceeded to its arrival gate, adding, we apologize
to our customers for the experience tonight. That aircraft remains
grounded at LaGuardia out of service. There's no immediate indication
when it may return to the air.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yeah, what was the question again, you guys feel anything?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Did you guys feel anything up there?
Speaker 9 (21:33):
You guys feel anything?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
And he said, guys, right, did you guys feel anything?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
You guys feel anything? A second, we didn't, but we'll
check it.
Speaker 13 (21:42):
The flight operated by the same regional carrier involved in
this dangerous incident last month, fiery crash landing at Toronto's airport.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
U oh, same crew or here in New York.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
There were no reported impacts.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I mean not the same crew, but the same airline
or here in New York.
Speaker 13 (21:59):
There were no reports impacts or injuries at LaGuardia, but
the FAA says it's now investigating.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Uh oh, somebody's gonna have a long talk with their manager.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Feel anything, Do you feel anything? Your wing hit the
ground there, Bobby.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And then Van Eyes Airport A bird strike bird strike
Van Eys Airport.
Speaker 14 (22:22):
The pilot says it was a complete miracle. He was
able to land this plane.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, bird went right through the windshield, and.
Speaker 14 (22:28):
He said they hit the bird about five thousand feet
in the air. The windshields cracked, exposing nearly the entire
cockpit and creating an extremely dangerous situation.
Speaker 12 (22:38):
I just thought, like, what was happened here? And I
look at my friend face. It's like a horror movie,
all block covering his face, and we're all shaking because
it's very cold. My friend Hanna's kind of stopped shaking
like this.
Speaker 14 (22:51):
Pilot Doctor Gama Giardi says he, along with his co
pilot and passenger, are lucky to be alive. They were
coming back from a day trip to Las Vegas and
ran into trubble going through the New Hat Pass Saturday night.
Speaker 12 (23:02):
Suddenly it's just exploded. I don't understand what happened. I
just thought that probably some engine part throw up to
the window the windshield, and then it's cracked.
Speaker 14 (23:12):
The impact shattered the windshield of the Baron B fifty
five twin engine aircraft.
Speaker 12 (23:17):
I tried to declare mede. I called media Mede, but
I cannot hear anything because the noise is so loud.
Speaker 14 (23:22):
He had to make an emergency landing at the Vanay's
airport with the windshield basically destroyed.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Wow, how about that landing without a windshield?
Speaker 12 (23:29):
Then I realized I didn't feel anything. It's like maybe
God put a like invisible wall in front of me
and I can see everything clearly, just like a normal landing.
But I was terrified.
Speaker 14 (23:40):
He says they didn't know they hit a bird until
they were on the ground. Bird strikes like this are
becoming more common. The latest data from the FAA recorded
over nineteen thousand wildlife strikes in twenty twenty three. Now
this includes birds, deer, and other animals at seven hundred
and thirteen US airports. Two weeks ago, a FedEx plane
took off from Newark, hit a bird and caught fire.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, they got to do something about that.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I don't know how to keep birds out of the engines,
but so far they're not doing a good job at that.
Speaker 14 (24:06):
And in December, a bird struck one of the plane's
engines on an American Airlines flight after take off at
New York's LaGuardia Airport. In both cases, no one got hurt.
With over a decade of flying experience, Gerardi says it's
crucial for palletts to keep training and stay aware of
their surrounding.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It's amazing how much how a tiny little bird can
take out an aircraft. They have too much power, you know,
like a snake or a like a tiny snake could
bite an elephant and kill it. A tiny spider can
bite an elephant and kill it. And the you know,
(24:45):
the brown back spider, if it bites an elephant, it
could literally kill an elephant.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
That's four or five six pounds. That's too much power.
That's too much power.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
And these birds they can take out a seven forty
seven with four hundred people on board. They have too
much power. We've got to take the power away from
these birds.
Speaker 14 (25:03):
And despite what happened, he's ready to get back in
the air.
Speaker 12 (25:06):
I believe that I have to go up again at
the same New Hall Pass. We had a small airplane
at night. Because I have to beat my fear. Then
I don't drawn into my trauma. I'm gonna go out
maybe tomorrow or the next two days.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah, that might be a solo trip. It'd be tough
to get friends to go with you on that one.
Speaker 14 (25:22):
The copilot did suffer some injuries.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
To his face, but.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
He's okay and real Quickly lost at sea, a Peruvian
fisherman got lost. He was out there for ninety five
days on the ocean.
Speaker 15 (25:34):
Hollywood ending for a man lost at sea for more
than three months. Peruvian fisherman Maximo Napa.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
You mean you mean? Played by Tom Hanks.
Speaker 15 (25:44):
Peruvian fisherman Maximo Nappa played by Tom Hanks reunited with
his brother after a two week fishing trip turned into
a ninety five day nightmare. Napa saying, I ate roaches, birds, turtles.
I didn't want to die.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Is that? When he got home?
Speaker 15 (26:00):
P o'tom Napa saying, I ate roaches, I ate roaches, birds, turtles.
I didn't want to die because of my mother and
I have a two month old granddaughter. On Deceemner seventh,
he set off on a fishing trip from southern Peru.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
His boat stocked with two weeks.
Speaker 15 (26:16):
Worth of food, but ten days of stormy weather blew
him off course. His family launching a search, but Peru's
maritime patrols were unable to locate him. It was a
fishing patrol from Ecuador that finally spotted him last week,
nearly seven hundred miles off the coast, badly, seven hundred
miles off course, badly, dehydrated, and uncritical condition. Napa saying,
(26:37):
God is beautiful. He protected me. He says he had
gone the last fifteen days without eating.
Speaker 13 (26:43):
I'm feeling.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I'm a little better than I was, so I can.
Speaker 15 (26:47):
Tell you two years ago, Sailor Timothy shadowed.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, that's amazing. Seven hundred miles off course. All right,
