Would you ever melt down an Olympic gold medal… and if you did, what’s it actually worth? The crew kicks things off with a surprisingly fun (and slightly unhinged) debate, then gets practical with Uber for Teens — how it works, what parents can see, and what teens can do in the app — with Foosh breaking it down from the driver’s seat. Plus, the reality check: only about a quarter of 16-year-olds are licensed now, which leads to a full-on nostalgia spiral about sprinting to the DMV the second you turned 16.
Then it’s weather whiplash: rain hit overnight with more on the way, ground temps holding steady, and a look at how Seal Beach is battling the ocean to protect homes. From there, we ride the wave into a high surf advisory for OC and San Diego — including how insane The Wedge can get — while mountain communities sit in desperate need of snow.
And just when you think you can relax, TikTok drops a new twist: “Local Feed” — a new tab aimed at surfacing posts, businesses, and happenings near you. And for blackjack players in California, there’s a big change coming: the state just approved new DOJ cardroom regulations affecting blackjack-style games (and player-dealer rotation). The rules take effect April 1, 2026, and could mean your favorite “blackjack” tables at cardrooms may have to be eliminated or heavily modified.

gold medals will be giving out in Italy in the
winter Olympics. America is doing okay. I thought they'd do
a little better. But a lot of people are asking
what would happen if you melted down a gold medal?
Do you ever think about that? What is it worth
(03:24):
if you melted down a gold medal? Imagine it's probably
worth less than if you kept it in its normal shape.
But here is the story for you nuts out there
who want to melt everything.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
We know that emotionally that priceless in these athletes would
never put a dollar amount on them, But what is
the dollar amount on these metals? How much of they
would they do?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Have?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
What experts call a melt value based on their materials,
the contents, the amount of silver they contain, and the
amount of gold they contain, and current prices for those medals. Okay,
so currently an Olympic gold medal is worth around twenty
five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And that's it, twenty five hundred bucks. That's not even
a half ounce of gold.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Currently an Olympic gold medal is worth around twenty five
hundred dollars. It contains five hundred grams of silver and
six grams of gold.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Six grams of gold. That is nothing.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I'm curious though, because these are so important to these
athletes who've worked their entire lives to obtain these these medals.
Have you seen evidence of them actually melting them down?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
No, no athlete would ever do that. They're worth much
more in their original state for cash.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
There's a discrepancy, of a wide discrepancy between their intrinsic
value and their symbolic value and their historical significance. And
we have actually seen Olympic medals come to market and
be resold at auction.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, but they're not melting them down. They're just hanging
on the wall.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Ryan Lockedey, the American swimmer has sold some of his
medals for tens of thousands of dolls each, netting him
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most famously, a gold medal
that was won by American track and field athlete Jesse
Owens in the nineteen thirty six Berlin Olympics wo sold
for over a million dollars at auction, and that is
(05:15):
the record amount a gold medal, A.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Couple of records. I think he had some records in
Berlin as well. Big Dog two records.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
From the Olympics has ever sold for. So their value
is really tied to the event in which they were
one and their historical significance, in addition to the value
the precious medals and just the.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Last few seconds some of these metals of breaking. These
athletes are saying they can't jump with them, that falling apart.
What's going on there?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
We've seen athletes report that the ribbons are breaking off
and that their medals are falling apart. The fun tattoo
Onamlano Cortina, the organizing.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Committee, Oh please, what I know? The first world problem?
My gold medals falling off. If you do have gold
and you want to melt the town, you're going to
have to have a pretty serious burner or furnace. Gold
melts at a little over one thousand degrees. I think
it's one thousand and fifty or one thousand and sixty degrees,
and silver the melting temperature for silver is seventeen one
(06:15):
hundred and sixty three degrees. So there's nothing in your
house most likely that gets that hot, and you will
not be melting any silver in your home. The strongest metal,
the metal that you can heat up and almost never melts,
is tungsten and that melts at thirty four hundred degrees.
(06:39):
Thirty four hundred degrees. That metal will will survive anything.
And then titanium is sixteen hundred degrees. So for you
melting freaks out there, there's your story, all right. Lift
for teens. If you have a teenager they're not driving
yet because they don't want to, or they can't pass
(07:00):
the driving test because they suck at driving, then you
might be able to get them Lift for teens. This
is a good idea for kids, and there's.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
A new option for parents when it comes to booking
ride share trips for teens. Lift says it will now
offer rides for teens ages thirteen through seventeen in two
hundred cities across the country. Here's how this works. Only
parents in legal guardians with verified accounts can add their
child to their Lift profile. Parents or teens can then
book the right Your child's going to have to show
(07:29):
a pin number on their app that matches the driver's
pin before the ride starts.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Great make it really complicated for fourteen year olds, and.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Parents will also get a text with the link to
track the trip. Lift is making this move as it
tries to compete with its biggest rival, Uber, which launched
rides for teens back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Stephus, you're an uber Lyft driver. How do you qualify
to drive teens around? I mean you have to radical
background check, not at all.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
And I've actually talked about this before and it's it's
basically so okay, I see, there's their safety issue. It's
more of like a liability thing because this is essentially
the twenty twenty sixth version of when you go to
a friend's house and you tell each other's parents, oh,
I'm staying at your house and they're staying at the
other person's house. Because if I got like four teens
(08:18):
at once they'd all order it on one person's account
who was allowed to use their parents, and they'd all say,
oh yeah, just use mine, use mine, and they'd all
just switch and that's how they get away with it.
So there's not really like I get what they're trying
to do, but there's always a workaround.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh I see, so four teens can go on one
guy's dime.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Yeah, exactly, because they like if the parent knows, oh
that's where we're going, like, oh, just put it there,
because that we won't know we're going. And they'll say, oh,
they're going to so and so's house, and that's the
good those teens, right, yep, Yeah, there do else.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
The self driving car company Waimo also offers rides for teens,
but so far that's only available in one city, in Phoenix.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
These companies, so you got to go to Phoenix, teens
off the Phoenix with you if you want to Waimo,
So get the way, get a uber to take it
to Phoenix, and then get in a Weymo.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
These companies see a big opportunity here. Lyft claims that
only one out of every four sixteen year olds has
a license.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Is that incredible twenty five percent of kids in this
country who are sixteen, only twenty five percent have their license.
Seventy five percent of the kids either have not pursued
it or have no interest in it. That is astonishing.
When I was sixteen, I got my license that I
turned sixteen on October thirteenth, and on at midnight, and
(09:36):
by seven am I was at the DMV. I was
seven hours into my sixteenth year before and I was
at the DMV. And I think most of my friends
were the same way. We couldn't wait to get a
license because that meant freedom to get out, to enjoy
yourself and you can do things. But these kids, I
don't know. Odd birds. Odd birds. All right, we're live
(09:58):
on KFI. Were changing time slots next Tuesday. We're going
six to ten pm, so we're gonna be on a
little later, but much later at the evening till ten o'clock.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
All right, we have the weather forecast, ladies and gentlemen.
It rain like hell last night in Burbank. We got
an inch of rain, it seemed like more than that.
And for you ground nuts, out there. The average temperature
for the ground, you know, like the dirt in Los Angeles,
in southern California, sixty four degrees. Sixty four degrees. Who cares?
(10:40):
We're doing that now? I stuck. I thought I hit
the wrong button. Oh you thought you're sorry? Crozier. Yeah, okay, right,
that's where we are. Okay, I get that. I get it.
I like that. I didn't say anything. I know, you
didn't say. It's this guy out of there who cares?
(11:04):
All right, I get it. I get it, buddy. I
mean it's not like you know, we do ground temps
every day and bore people with that. I just thought
it was interesting. The ground temperature is sixty four degrees.
I found that interesting. All right, weather forecasts, let's get
into it and see if this will entertain steph Uche.
Speaker 10 (11:20):
We are finally seeing peaks of that sunshine. We're gonna
enjoy it for a little longer. But this is mostly
what we saw throughout our day in our time lapse,
mostly cloudy skies. We're finally getting a bit of clearing
out there, mostly in those valley spots, but we will
start to see some more rain had our way twenty
four hour rain totals so far reaching just over eight
tenths of an inch in Camerio, Los Angeles, over a
(11:41):
half inch of rain. With Fullerton, you're three quarters of
an inch over an inch of rain in your ble
Linda and Bourbank.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, we had an inch of rain in Burbank. It
was hotter than hell.
Speaker 10 (11:49):
Looking at three quarters of an inch Laguna Beach a
half inch of rain with that squall line pushing through
in the overnight early morning hours. Now we are seeing
those showers tapering off. Now your first way through Saturday,
you'll get that sunshine as well as at warmings.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Okay, do you hear that? Thursday through Saturday sun shine,
sunshine and then after that.
Speaker 10 (12:09):
Bad vibes as well as at warming. So that's good
news for all of you planning those Valentine's Day dates.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yes, Valentine's Day dates, that's gonna be on Saturday. So
if you don't have your reservation by now, it's probably
too late.
Speaker 10 (12:22):
And then next week we do have rain as well
as showers returning to the forecast that starts moving in
for us late Sunday night. Taking a look here at
our live Megadoppler seven thousand radar you are seeing quite
a bit of those showers pushing through right now. You
can see it moving from areas just into north San
Diego County and moving their way just toward the east.
For us in areas of Riverside, we are just looking
(12:44):
as well. It's maybe some spotty showers just left over,
so nothing really major tonight.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Most of it just now exiting a.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
High surf advisory that is in effect until Wednesday nine pm,
so we just have a little bit more time for that,
all right.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
High waves waves are gonna be a huge next twenty
four hours.
Speaker 10 (13:02):
I mean, we're seeing some areas of riptides four to
seven foot waves. For San Luis Obispo's coastline about eight
to eleven foot waves. Dangerous situation there.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Winter storm war Okay, you know where that's going to
be dangerous for as the people live in Newport Beach
and also Seal Beach. Whenever you get high tide and
high waves, Seal Beach floods and Newport Beach, the breakers
out there. The city's got to do something about those
breakers out there.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Man, large parties, police and even people in handcuffs.
Speaker 11 (13:31):
This was the scene in Newport Beach at death.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Oh my God, that's the wrong story, all right. But anyway,
Seal Beach is the is the problem. Seal Beach floods.
They used to live in Seal Beach. I lived down
there for I don't know, four years or so, and
every winter they used to take the sand and build
these huge sand burns, push it towards the ocean, and
(13:55):
you would have literally water in the streets, saltwater we'd
come into the streets, into people's homes, and they really
couldn't do anything about it, you know, they tried with
these big sand burns, so then really sometimes didn't do it.
And eventually they're gonna have to put a break wall
out there because as we all know, water oceans are
rising and Seal Beach is susceptible to flooding. So I
(14:20):
think they're gonna have to tax people in Seal Beach
and finally, you know, go for it and put a
break wall out there and save those homes, because it
really is it's a pain in the ass. When the
water comes in. They get these big pumps going all night.
It's loud, there's water in the streets, floods everywhere, fish
in the streets.
Speaker 12 (14:37):
It's a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
But anyway, but they'll take Eric because that is a
wealthy area. A lot of people who live in Seal
Beach have a lot of money, a lot of money,
and in Newport Beach as well.
Speaker 9 (14:46):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well, moving next Tuesday, we're going to six to ten pm,
six to ten pm. Remember it was like maybe four
or five years ago when Newport flooded and the boat
there was one big sailboat that came right up on shore.
But when they have high tide, there was a there
(15:14):
was a warning out earlier this week. Let's see if
I could find it here from the Orange County Register.
Orange County Register was saying that that there was a
high tide warning, high surf advisory in place for Orange
County Coast and San Diego County coastal areas until Sunday morning.
And so I think that, yeah, that is still in effect.
(15:38):
But Angel Martinez, are you with us? Angel Martinez, Yes, sir,
I've never seen this area, but when Newport Beach, particularly
the Balbo Peninsula, they experienced flooding during high tides, especially
when combined with you know, high surfer king tides and
it can send water into the streets. But where when
when they when they say the what area is this here?
(16:02):
The impact there the Balbo Peninsula, particularly near h Street. Oh,
the wedge, that's someone to ask you about. Are you
familiar with the place called the wedge?
Speaker 11 (16:10):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Sure, and they can have up to thirty foot waves
out there.
Speaker 11 (16:15):
Yes, that's it's amazing. I mean, it's like quite the spectacle.
Whenever there's a huge swell that's affecting the wedge, you
just get like a lot of people that head down
to the to the end of the peninsula just to
watch the people that might be out in the water
trying to ride those waves or just to watch the
waves because it's just spectacular.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So those waves are they're not coming towards Newport Beach.
They're going more towards Dana Pointe. Are they almost parallel
to Newport or are they coming in towards Newport?
Speaker 11 (16:47):
They're coming in? Which way? Is it in the winter months?
It's mostly in the winter. I think it's they're coming
in towards Newport.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Okay, but thirty is unbelievable.
Speaker 11 (16:57):
Yeah, it's pretty massive.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Do you get out there paddle boarding in the thirty footers.
Oh yeah, only when there's sharks out there.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
Only when there's sharks. The more sharks, the better.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Oh that's great. Agel. Martina Martinez is an avid outdoors person,
and she said she's been out there paddle boarding and
all of a sudden, everything got quiet and then you look,
you look down and you saw a shark.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
Well, I didn't see a shark, but I think that
there was one there. I was actually surfing that day,
so I wasn't even like standing up on a paddle board.
Speaker 13 (17:33):
I was.
Speaker 11 (17:35):
I was in the water and everything was teeming around me.
All the birds were making sounds, there was you know,
things popping up out of the water, and then all
of a sudden, everything just went dead silent. Wow, And
I'm like, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Maybe not in that instance, but you said you've seen
sharks while you're paddleboarding? Oh?
Speaker 11 (17:56):
Absolutely, what's going on with you?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
And you went back out there?
Speaker 11 (18:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Oh, Angel, please?
Speaker 11 (18:04):
They weren't they weren't. They were the kind that were
you know, they weren't great whites. Okay, swimming underneath me.
Speaker 14 (18:13):
But you know, but.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Everyone always says it's safe, and then you know, all
of a sudden. They're at cedars. You know what I mean.
Everyone who's ever had a leg or an arm bitten
off by a shark always said, oh, there was I
wasn't afraid at all. I didn't see it coming, and
I'm gonna go back out there. There's an odd mentality
to that.
Speaker 11 (18:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I hope you take that as a compliment.
Speaker 11 (18:38):
I do, I absolutely do.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Okay, we have snow on the way. Everybody listen to this.
This is important. This might be our last snow for
the year.
Speaker 12 (18:48):
Got some good rain earlier part today, but up here
in the mountains, no snow.
Speaker 13 (18:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (18:55):
It's uh to say the least, been a disappointing winter
season so far. I was talking with someone in the
Big Bear village and he was telling me they haven't
had any measurable snowfall since November. My god, fingers crossed
that that changes next week.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Okay, all right, here we go. We're gonna change next week.
We're gonna have one big, huge blast before we get
into one hundred and ten degrees every day.
Speaker 12 (19:15):
A dusting of snow came down overnight in the mountain
community of Green Valley Lake, but that's only because it's
way up at seventy two hundred feet elevation. Down below
along Highway eighteen, it was mostly just rain and at
Big Bear Lake by this morning there was hardly any
snow at all. The Big Bear Village practically empty, store
(19:35):
owners saying, the weekends still get busy, but it's been
a struggle this year.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Well, you know what, it's a struggle every year. These
people complain, and rightfully so I think I would too.
They can plain every year that there's not enough people
up there, there's not enough snow, and I think you're
gonna have to find a different business or a different
hobby because the snow. I think in the local mountains
it might be over global war.
Speaker 12 (20:01):
Mostly because of the lack of snow.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
A little empty, not as much people as you know,
we've come the previous season at snow.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
So that's what they all say. Every shop owner in
Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead says this exact same thing.
A little empty, A little empty, yeah, a little light,
not as much people with nobody's around because there's no snow.
You know, we've come the previous season.
Speaker 12 (20:21):
At snow summit. You can tell that mother nature isn't
really cooperating. All of the snow you see is man made.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
It does look like potentially tonight and then starting Sunday
we'll be setting up for some more snowmaking. I know
we're trying to be as aggressive as we can this
even season, just given the lack of natural snowfalls.
Speaker 12 (20:39):
Spokesperson Justin Canton says they're hopeful that things turn around
next week.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I think this is the spokesperson who laid on us
about three months ago that man made snow is better
than natural snow. I love that guy. That guy's great.
We gotta get that guy here at KF. That guy's
the best with a straight face. He said, Oh, man
made snow is much better than the powder stuff that
falls from the sky.
Speaker 12 (21:04):
Spokesperson Justin Canton says they're hopeful that things turn around
next week.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
We're just taking it as it comes. This is that
kind of season where you really can't count on anything
coming out of the sky until it's actually here.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
We saw the forecast this week and it was raining
and I was like, is it snowing up there?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
It was just like sprinkling up here.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So we're like, uh, can I get some snow? Yeah?
What a bummer.
Speaker 12 (21:24):
The lack of snow means not as many Southern Californians
coming to the resorts. A lot of the people we
ran into today are visiting from outside the country.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It rained a little bit, but I think it's pretty good.
Speaker 12 (21:35):
It's a pretty good day.
Speaker 15 (21:36):
We were expecting that because we were from Brazil, so
that's sice. It's a little snow.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Okay, you're from Brazil and new vacation in Arrowhead. Never
heard of that before in my life. I've been living
out here for the better for sixty years. I've never
heard that once in my life. Yeah, well, we winter
in Arrowhead. Where are you from Brazil?
Speaker 15 (22:00):
Never once heard that, expecting that because we're from Brazil,
So that's that's size. It's a little snow, but it's
better than half. So it's an experience.
Speaker 13 (22:11):
Man.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
You you must have some money. You live in Brazil,
you and you go to ski and Big Bear.
Speaker 12 (22:17):
And we got up here around ten o'clock this morning.
I can say the most we've really gotten is drizzle
at times. But as this front moves through, it's really
starting to get cold. So here's hoping they will finally
be able to fire up those snowmakers again later tonight.
Live in Big Bear Robert willin ABC seven I witness
you know.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It's also probably not true. I love to remember the
guy that said, you know, the man made snow is
better than the natural stuff. I would love to get
his opinion on. Yeah, well it does. The the nineteen
snowblowers that sound like jet engines from A seven to
forty seven? Is that better the natural snow as well?
Please don't wait for the translation. I'd like a response
(22:56):
to that. Oh yes, it's much better, much much better.
The engines that blow that snow out. It's just terrific. Tim,
You're gonna love it.
Speaker 9 (23:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
We're moving next Tuesday six to ten pm. So if
you have a pen, I'll give you the lineup. Oh sorry,
did you hear that? You would have said there was
a swear word in there? Now there wasn't. Rick D
sends me jokes every day and they're great. I am
(23:34):
always amazed that Rick D even knows who the hell
I am, and he sends me jokes all the time,
like this one. I'll play this one for you here,
all right, here we go.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Coming up the Academy award nominations. Yes, the Oscars, get
ready for your favorites to be announced. It's the Oscars.
Watch to you buy Revlon and other cosmetic products. They
contain fish scale.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
All right, uh, TikTok. I know a lot of kids
love TikTok. They're addicted to it. Well, they've added something
else for you to look at more TikTok videos if
that's possible. A local feed a local feature. How about this?
Speaker 6 (24:26):
So this is a new feature for TikTok's millions of
US users. The video app is launching what it calls
local Feed. It's a new tab on the homescreen that'll
show you posts from other users near your current location.
The company says this is a way to connect with
small businesses or local accounts. For example, if you're traveling
a couple of details here, you have to turn your
location tracking on in settings. The default option is actually off.
(24:50):
TikTok will then use GPS to find other accounts near
you when you're using the app, and it claims that
you can opt out anytime. This is really the first
big new feature that TikTok has an since the US
operation officially spun off from its Chinese parent company. Keep
in mind, TikTok was forced by a federal law to
cut those ties with over concerns that the Chinese government
(25:10):
could get access to American sensitive data, including locations. And
of course this all comes as we are seeing social
media companies face and jury for the first time in
that Landmark trial in.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
California Debbie Downer. So, if you're traveling, Let's say you're
going to Chicago to hang out with your parents or friends.
Maybe you went to college there and you're going for
the week or the weekend or whatever. You can turn
TikTok onto local and it will show you ads from
local people who are around you in Chicago, including restaurants
(25:44):
and attractions, maybe concerts, sporting events. It's a great idea.
You can turn yourself onto local TikTok, which I think
you can do with dating apps. Now, there's a guy
who works here at KFI. Then when he goes on vacations,
he turns his dating app to local and he gets
(26:07):
local guys and gals or you know whoever. He's dating girls, guys,
you know whatever, And who's this person. Let's say who
that is. Although he might admit it, I think he's
talked about it. It's a yeah, yeah, it is a
he but but that's but I think now TikTok is
(26:27):
stealing that idea, and you can now have local TikTok.
I don't know if it's up and running or not.
But good idea, good idea. All right, if you're a
blackjack player, you like playing blackjack, twenty one A might
have a problem in the near future. New regulations significantly
impacting impacting blackjack at card casinos.
Speaker 16 (26:52):
For the regulations event proposed are pretty onerous to the
card rooms.
Speaker 14 (26:57):
That Stars Casino co owner Joseph Mellick, who owned card
rooms in Tracy for three decades. California's newest regulations prohibit
blackjack and change the rotation of player dealer positions. Melick says,
right now, Stars Casino has eighty employees. He says the
changes will affect twenty percent or more of the employees.
Speaker 16 (27:16):
They are living wage jobs. They have a lot of
single parents.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Here that by the way, this gentleman sounds exactly like
a guy who owns a casino.
Speaker 16 (27:29):
They are living wage jobs. They have a lot of
single parents here that race their kids are one.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Incomon that tough smoky no nonsense kind of guy that
used to run Vegas in the sixties and seventies. This
is the guy's been with us for years.
Speaker 14 (27:47):
Kirkland says, this is a five point six billion dollar
industry and around half a billion dollars in state and
local tax revenue. He says the changes were cut that
by fifty percent.
Speaker 13 (27:57):
Without any real reason, any visible harm to the public.
We're having one hundred and eighty degree change in how
these games are being interpreted. Then, you know it's devastated.
Speaker 14 (28:07):
Regulations we'll take effect on April first, with compliance expected
by the end of May.
Speaker 13 (28:12):
Candidly, you know, we're not ready to just give up
and fold up shop by April first. We've you know,
we've had our lawyers working on this. We're gonna there's
gonna be some legal pushback.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah, that's a big deal. I mean, a lot of
those card casinos they have, you know, forty to fifty
sixty blackjack tables and rely on that. That's it's gonna
be a fight there, all right. When we come back,
I'm going to tell you that we are as a country,
are in a hell of a lot of debt when
it comes to mortgages, car loans, student loans, and I'm
going to give you the number when we come back,
(28:43):
so you're gonna have to sit here and wait for that.
But you are not going to believe the total number
of how much money as a country we all owe.
And I'm not talking about our national debt. I'm talking
about just personal debt, credit cards, mortgages, car payments, students, loans.
It's off the charts and I don't know how we're
(29:04):
all going to pay it back. All Right, It's Conway Show.

gold medals will be giving out in Italy in the
winter Olympics. America is doing okay. I thought they'd do
a little better. But a lot of people are asking
what would happen if you melted down a gold medal?
Do you ever think about that? What is it worth
(03:24):
if you melted down a gold medal? Imagine it's probably
worth less than if you kept it in its normal shape.
But here is the story for you nuts out there
who want to melt everything.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
We know that emotionally that priceless in these athletes would
never put a dollar amount on them, But what is
the dollar amount on these metals? How much of they
would they do?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Have?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
What experts call a melt value based on their materials,
the contents, the amount of silver they contain, and the
amount of gold they contain, and current prices for those medals. Okay,
so currently an Olympic gold medal is worth around twenty
five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
And that's it, twenty five hundred bucks. That's not even
a half ounce of gold.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Currently an Olympic gold medal is worth around twenty five
hundred dollars. It contains five hundred grams of silver and
six grams of gold.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Six grams of gold. That is nothing.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I'm curious though, because these are so important to these
athletes who've worked their entire lives to obtain these these medals.
Have you seen evidence of them actually melting them down?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
No, no athlete would ever do that. They're worth much
more in their original state for cash.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
There's a discrepancy, of a wide discrepancy between their intrinsic
value and their symbolic value and their historical significance. And
we have actually seen Olympic medals come to market and
be resold at auction.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, but they're not melting them down. They're just hanging
on the wall.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Ryan Lockedey, the American swimmer has sold some of his
medals for tens of thousands of dolls each, netting him
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most famously, a gold medal
that was won by American track and field athlete Jesse
Owens in the nineteen thirty six Berlin Olympics wo sold
for over a million dollars at auction, and that is
(05:15):
the record amount a gold medal, A.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Couple of records. I think he had some records in
Berlin as well. Big Dog two records.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
From the Olympics has ever sold for. So their value
is really tied to the event in which they were
one and their historical significance, in addition to the value
the precious medals and just the.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Last few seconds some of these metals of breaking. These
athletes are saying they can't jump with them, that falling apart.
What's going on there?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
We've seen athletes report that the ribbons are breaking off
and that their medals are falling apart. The fun tattoo
Onamlano Cortina, the organizing.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Committee, Oh please, what I know? The first world problem?
My gold medals falling off. If you do have gold
and you want to melt the town, you're going to
have to have a pretty serious burner or furnace. Gold
melts at a little over one thousand degrees. I think
it's one thousand and fifty or one thousand and sixty degrees,
and silver the melting temperature for silver is seventeen one
(06:15):
hundred and sixty three degrees. So there's nothing in your
house most likely that gets that hot, and you will
not be melting any silver in your home. The strongest metal,
the metal that you can heat up and almost never melts,
is tungsten and that melts at thirty four hundred degrees.
(06:39):
Thirty four hundred degrees. That metal will will survive anything.
And then titanium is sixteen hundred degrees. So for you
melting freaks out there, there's your story, all right. Lift
for teens. If you have a teenager they're not driving
yet because they don't want to, or they can't pass
(07:00):
the driving test because they suck at driving, then you
might be able to get them Lift for teens. This
is a good idea for kids, and there's.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
A new option for parents when it comes to booking
ride share trips for teens. Lift says it will now
offer rides for teens ages thirteen through seventeen in two
hundred cities across the country. Here's how this works. Only
parents in legal guardians with verified accounts can add their
child to their Lift profile. Parents or teens can then
book the right Your child's going to have to show
(07:29):
a pin number on their app that matches the driver's
pin before the ride starts.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Great make it really complicated for fourteen year olds, and.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Parents will also get a text with the link to
track the trip. Lift is making this move as it
tries to compete with its biggest rival, Uber, which launched
rides for teens back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Stephus, you're an uber Lyft driver. How do you qualify
to drive teens around? I mean you have to radical
background check, not at all.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
And I've actually talked about this before and it's it's
basically so okay, I see, there's their safety issue. It's
more of like a liability thing because this is essentially
the twenty twenty sixth version of when you go to
a friend's house and you tell each other's parents, oh,
I'm staying at your house and they're staying at the
other person's house. Because if I got like four teens
(08:18):
at once they'd all order it on one person's account
who was allowed to use their parents, and they'd all say,
oh yeah, just use mine, use mine, and they'd all
just switch and that's how they get away with it.
So there's not really like I get what they're trying
to do, but there's always a workaround.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh I see, so four teens can go on one
guy's dime.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Yeah, exactly, because they like if the parent knows, oh
that's where we're going, like, oh, just put it there,
because that we won't know we're going. And they'll say, oh,
they're going to so and so's house, and that's the
good those teens, right, yep, Yeah, there do else.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
The self driving car company Waimo also offers rides for teens,
but so far that's only available in one city, in Phoenix.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
These companies, so you got to go to Phoenix, teens
off the Phoenix with you if you want to Waimo,
So get the way, get a uber to take it
to Phoenix, and then get in a Weymo.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
These companies see a big opportunity here. Lyft claims that
only one out of every four sixteen year olds has
a license.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Is that incredible twenty five percent of kids in this
country who are sixteen, only twenty five percent have their license.
Seventy five percent of the kids either have not pursued
it or have no interest in it. That is astonishing.
When I was sixteen, I got my license that I
turned sixteen on October thirteenth, and on at midnight, and
(09:36):
by seven am I was at the DMV. I was
seven hours into my sixteenth year before and I was
at the DMV. And I think most of my friends
were the same way. We couldn't wait to get a
license because that meant freedom to get out, to enjoy
yourself and you can do things. But these kids, I
don't know. Odd birds. Odd birds. All right, we're live
(09:58):
on KFI. Were changing time slots next Tuesday. We're going
six to ten pm, so we're gonna be on a
little later, but much later at the evening till ten o'clock.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
All right, we have the weather forecast, ladies and gentlemen.
It rain like hell last night in Burbank. We got
an inch of rain, it seemed like more than that.
And for you ground nuts, out there. The average temperature
for the ground, you know, like the dirt in Los Angeles,
in southern California, sixty four degrees. Sixty four degrees. Who cares?
(10:40):
We're doing that now? I stuck. I thought I hit
the wrong button. Oh you thought you're sorry? Crozier. Yeah, okay, right,
that's where we are. Okay, I get that. I get it.
I like that. I didn't say anything. I know, you
didn't say. It's this guy out of there who cares?
(11:04):
All right, I get it. I get it, buddy. I
mean it's not like you know, we do ground temps
every day and bore people with that. I just thought
it was interesting. The ground temperature is sixty four degrees.
I found that interesting. All right, weather forecasts, let's get
into it and see if this will entertain steph Uche.
Speaker 10 (11:20):
We are finally seeing peaks of that sunshine. We're gonna
enjoy it for a little longer. But this is mostly
what we saw throughout our day in our time lapse,
mostly cloudy skies. We're finally getting a bit of clearing
out there, mostly in those valley spots, but we will
start to see some more rain had our way twenty
four hour rain totals so far reaching just over eight
tenths of an inch in Camerio, Los Angeles, over a
(11:41):
half inch of rain. With Fullerton, you're three quarters of
an inch over an inch of rain in your ble
Linda and Bourbank.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, we had an inch of rain in Burbank. It
was hotter than hell.
Speaker 10 (11:49):
Looking at three quarters of an inch Laguna Beach a
half inch of rain with that squall line pushing through
in the overnight early morning hours. Now we are seeing
those showers tapering off. Now your first way through Saturday,
you'll get that sunshine as well as at warmings.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Okay, do you hear that? Thursday through Saturday sun shine,
sunshine and then after that.
Speaker 10 (12:09):
Bad vibes as well as at warming. So that's good
news for all of you planning those Valentine's Day dates.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yes, Valentine's Day dates, that's gonna be on Saturday. So
if you don't have your reservation by now, it's probably
too late.
Speaker 10 (12:22):
And then next week we do have rain as well
as showers returning to the forecast that starts moving in
for us late Sunday night. Taking a look here at
our live Megadoppler seven thousand radar you are seeing quite
a bit of those showers pushing through right now. You
can see it moving from areas just into north San
Diego County and moving their way just toward the east.
For us in areas of Riverside, we are just looking
(12:44):
as well. It's maybe some spotty showers just left over,
so nothing really major tonight.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Most of it just now exiting a.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
High surf advisory that is in effect until Wednesday nine pm,
so we just have a little bit more time for that,
all right.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
High waves waves are gonna be a huge next twenty
four hours.
Speaker 10 (13:02):
I mean, we're seeing some areas of riptides four to
seven foot waves. For San Luis Obispo's coastline about eight
to eleven foot waves. Dangerous situation there.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Winter storm war Okay, you know where that's going to
be dangerous for as the people live in Newport Beach
and also Seal Beach. Whenever you get high tide and
high waves, Seal Beach floods and Newport Beach, the breakers
out there. The city's got to do something about those
breakers out there.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Man, large parties, police and even people in handcuffs.
Speaker 11 (13:31):
This was the scene in Newport Beach at death.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Oh my God, that's the wrong story, all right. But anyway,
Seal Beach is the is the problem. Seal Beach floods.
They used to live in Seal Beach. I lived down
there for I don't know, four years or so, and
every winter they used to take the sand and build
these huge sand burns, push it towards the ocean, and
(13:55):
you would have literally water in the streets, saltwater we'd
come into the streets, into people's homes, and they really
couldn't do anything about it, you know, they tried with
these big sand burns, so then really sometimes didn't do it.
And eventually they're gonna have to put a break wall
out there because as we all know, water oceans are
rising and Seal Beach is susceptible to flooding. So I
(14:20):
think they're gonna have to tax people in Seal Beach
and finally, you know, go for it and put a
break wall out there and save those homes, because it
really is it's a pain in the ass. When the
water comes in. They get these big pumps going all night.
It's loud, there's water in the streets, floods everywhere, fish
in the streets.
Speaker 12 (14:37):
It's a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
But anyway, but they'll take Eric because that is a
wealthy area. A lot of people who live in Seal
Beach have a lot of money, a lot of money,
and in Newport Beach as well.
Speaker 9 (14:46):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well, moving next Tuesday, we're going to six to ten pm,
six to ten pm. Remember it was like maybe four
or five years ago when Newport flooded and the boat
there was one big sailboat that came right up on shore.
But when they have high tide, there was a there
(15:14):
was a warning out earlier this week. Let's see if
I could find it here from the Orange County Register.
Orange County Register was saying that that there was a
high tide warning, high surf advisory in place for Orange
County Coast and San Diego County coastal areas until Sunday morning.
And so I think that, yeah, that is still in effect.
(15:38):
But Angel Martinez, are you with us? Angel Martinez, Yes, sir,
I've never seen this area, but when Newport Beach, particularly
the Balbo Peninsula, they experienced flooding during high tides, especially
when combined with you know, high surfer king tides and
it can send water into the streets. But where when
when they when they say the what area is this here?
(16:02):
The impact there the Balbo Peninsula, particularly near h Street. Oh,
the wedge, that's someone to ask you about. Are you
familiar with the place called the wedge?
Speaker 11 (16:10):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Sure, and they can have up to thirty foot waves
out there.
Speaker 11 (16:15):
Yes, that's it's amazing. I mean, it's like quite the spectacle.
Whenever there's a huge swell that's affecting the wedge, you
just get like a lot of people that head down
to the to the end of the peninsula just to
watch the people that might be out in the water
trying to ride those waves or just to watch the
waves because it's just spectacular.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So those waves are they're not coming towards Newport Beach.
They're going more towards Dana Pointe. Are they almost parallel
to Newport or are they coming in towards Newport?
Speaker 11 (16:47):
They're coming in? Which way? Is it in the winter months?
It's mostly in the winter. I think it's they're coming
in towards Newport.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Okay, but thirty is unbelievable.
Speaker 11 (16:57):
Yeah, it's pretty massive.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Do you get out there paddle boarding in the thirty footers.
Oh yeah, only when there's sharks out there.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
Only when there's sharks. The more sharks, the better.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Oh that's great. Agel. Martina Martinez is an avid outdoors person,
and she said she's been out there paddle boarding and
all of a sudden, everything got quiet and then you look,
you look down and you saw a shark.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
Well, I didn't see a shark, but I think that
there was one there. I was actually surfing that day,
so I wasn't even like standing up on a paddle board.
Speaker 13 (17:33):
I was.
Speaker 11 (17:35):
I was in the water and everything was teeming around me.
All the birds were making sounds, there was you know,
things popping up out of the water, and then all
of a sudden, everything just went dead silent. Wow, And
I'm like, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Maybe not in that instance, but you said you've seen
sharks while you're paddleboarding? Oh?
Speaker 11 (17:56):
Absolutely, what's going on with you?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
And you went back out there?
Speaker 11 (18:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Oh, Angel, please?
Speaker 11 (18:04):
They weren't they weren't. They were the kind that were
you know, they weren't great whites. Okay, swimming underneath me.
Speaker 14 (18:13):
But you know, but.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Everyone always says it's safe, and then you know, all
of a sudden. They're at cedars. You know what I mean.
Everyone who's ever had a leg or an arm bitten
off by a shark always said, oh, there was I
wasn't afraid at all. I didn't see it coming, and
I'm gonna go back out there. There's an odd mentality
to that.
Speaker 11 (18:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I hope you take that as a compliment.
Speaker 11 (18:38):
I do, I absolutely do.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Okay, we have snow on the way. Everybody listen to this.
This is important. This might be our last snow for
the year.
Speaker 12 (18:48):
Got some good rain earlier part today, but up here
in the mountains, no snow.
Speaker 13 (18:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (18:55):
It's uh to say the least, been a disappointing winter
season so far. I was talking with someone in the
Big Bear village and he was telling me they haven't
had any measurable snowfall since November. My god, fingers crossed
that that changes next week.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Okay, all right, here we go. We're gonna change next week.
We're gonna have one big, huge blast before we get
into one hundred and ten degrees every day.
Speaker 12 (19:15):
A dusting of snow came down overnight in the mountain
community of Green Valley Lake, but that's only because it's
way up at seventy two hundred feet elevation. Down below
along Highway eighteen, it was mostly just rain and at
Big Bear Lake by this morning there was hardly any
snow at all. The Big Bear Village practically empty, store
(19:35):
owners saying, the weekends still get busy, but it's been
a struggle this year.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Well, you know what, it's a struggle every year. These
people complain, and rightfully so I think I would too.
They can plain every year that there's not enough people
up there, there's not enough snow, and I think you're
gonna have to find a different business or a different
hobby because the snow. I think in the local mountains
it might be over global war.
Speaker 12 (20:01):
Mostly because of the lack of snow.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
A little empty, not as much people as you know,
we've come the previous season at snow.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
So that's what they all say. Every shop owner in
Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead says this exact same thing.
A little empty, A little empty, yeah, a little light,
not as much people with nobody's around because there's no snow.
You know, we've come the previous season.
Speaker 12 (20:21):
At snow summit. You can tell that mother nature isn't
really cooperating. All of the snow you see is man made.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
It does look like potentially tonight and then starting Sunday
we'll be setting up for some more snowmaking. I know
we're trying to be as aggressive as we can this
even season, just given the lack of natural snowfalls.
Speaker 12 (20:39):
Spokesperson Justin Canton says they're hopeful that things turn around
next week.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I think this is the spokesperson who laid on us
about three months ago that man made snow is better
than natural snow. I love that guy. That guy's great.
We gotta get that guy here at KF. That guy's
the best with a straight face. He said, Oh, man
made snow is much better than the powder stuff that
falls from the sky.
Speaker 12 (21:04):
Spokesperson Justin Canton says they're hopeful that things turn around
next week.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
We're just taking it as it comes. This is that
kind of season where you really can't count on anything
coming out of the sky until it's actually here.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
We saw the forecast this week and it was raining
and I was like, is it snowing up there?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
It was just like sprinkling up here.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So we're like, uh, can I get some snow? Yeah?
What a bummer.
Speaker 12 (21:24):
The lack of snow means not as many Southern Californians
coming to the resorts. A lot of the people we
ran into today are visiting from outside the country.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It rained a little bit, but I think it's pretty good.
Speaker 12 (21:35):
It's a pretty good day.
Speaker 15 (21:36):
We were expecting that because we were from Brazil, so
that's sice. It's a little snow.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Okay, you're from Brazil and new vacation in Arrowhead. Never
heard of that before in my life. I've been living
out here for the better for sixty years. I've never
heard that once in my life. Yeah, well, we winter
in Arrowhead. Where are you from Brazil?
Speaker 15 (22:00):
Never once heard that, expecting that because we're from Brazil,
So that's that's size. It's a little snow, but it's
better than half. So it's an experience.
Speaker 13 (22:11):
Man.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
You you must have some money. You live in Brazil,
you and you go to ski and Big Bear.
Speaker 12 (22:17):
And we got up here around ten o'clock this morning.
I can say the most we've really gotten is drizzle
at times. But as this front moves through, it's really
starting to get cold. So here's hoping they will finally
be able to fire up those snowmakers again later tonight.
Live in Big Bear Robert willin ABC seven I witness
you know.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It's also probably not true. I love to remember the
guy that said, you know, the man made snow is
better than the natural stuff. I would love to get
his opinion on. Yeah, well it does. The the nineteen
snowblowers that sound like jet engines from A seven to
forty seven? Is that better the natural snow as well?
Please don't wait for the translation. I'd like a response
(22:56):
to that. Oh yes, it's much better, much much better.
The engines that blow that snow out. It's just terrific. Tim,
You're gonna love it.
Speaker 9 (23:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
We're moving next Tuesday six to ten pm. So if
you have a pen, I'll give you the lineup. Oh sorry,
did you hear that? You would have said there was
a swear word in there? Now there wasn't. Rick D
sends me jokes every day and they're great. I am
(23:34):
always amazed that Rick D even knows who the hell
I am, and he sends me jokes all the time,
like this one. I'll play this one for you here,
all right, here we go.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Coming up the Academy award nominations. Yes, the Oscars, get
ready for your favorites to be announced. It's the Oscars.
Watch to you buy Revlon and other cosmetic products. They
contain fish scale.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
All right, uh, TikTok. I know a lot of kids
love TikTok. They're addicted to it. Well, they've added something
else for you to look at more TikTok videos if
that's possible. A local feed a local feature. How about this?
Speaker 6 (24:26):
So this is a new feature for TikTok's millions of
US users. The video app is launching what it calls
local Feed. It's a new tab on the homescreen that'll
show you posts from other users near your current location.
The company says this is a way to connect with
small businesses or local accounts. For example, if you're traveling
a couple of details here, you have to turn your
location tracking on in settings. The default option is actually off.
(24:50):
TikTok will then use GPS to find other accounts near
you when you're using the app, and it claims that
you can opt out anytime. This is really the first
big new feature that TikTok has an since the US
operation officially spun off from its Chinese parent company. Keep
in mind, TikTok was forced by a federal law to
cut those ties with over concerns that the Chinese government
(25:10):
could get access to American sensitive data, including locations. And
of course this all comes as we are seeing social
media companies face and jury for the first time in
that Landmark trial in.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
California Debbie Downer. So, if you're traveling, Let's say you're
going to Chicago to hang out with your parents or friends.
Maybe you went to college there and you're going for
the week or the weekend or whatever. You can turn
TikTok onto local and it will show you ads from
local people who are around you in Chicago, including restaurants
(25:44):
and attractions, maybe concerts, sporting events. It's a great idea.
You can turn yourself onto local TikTok, which I think
you can do with dating apps. Now, there's a guy
who works here at KFI. Then when he goes on vacations,
he turns his dating app to local and he gets
(26:07):
local guys and gals or you know whoever. He's dating girls, guys,
you know whatever, And who's this person. Let's say who
that is. Although he might admit it, I think he's
talked about it. It's a yeah, yeah, it is a
he but but that's but I think now TikTok is
(26:27):
stealing that idea, and you can now have local TikTok.
I don't know if it's up and running or not.
But good idea, good idea. All right, if you're a
blackjack player, you like playing blackjack, twenty one A might
have a problem in the near future. New regulations significantly
impacting impacting blackjack at card casinos.
Speaker 16 (26:52):
For the regulations event proposed are pretty onerous to the
card rooms.
Speaker 14 (26:57):
That Stars Casino co owner Joseph Mellick, who owned card
rooms in Tracy for three decades. California's newest regulations prohibit
blackjack and change the rotation of player dealer positions. Melick says,
right now, Stars Casino has eighty employees. He says the
changes will affect twenty percent or more of the employees.
Speaker 16 (27:16):
They are living wage jobs. They have a lot of
single parents.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Here that by the way, this gentleman sounds exactly like
a guy who owns a casino.
Speaker 16 (27:29):
They are living wage jobs. They have a lot of
single parents here that race their kids are one.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Incomon that tough smoky no nonsense kind of guy that
used to run Vegas in the sixties and seventies. This
is the guy's been with us for years.
Speaker 14 (27:47):
Kirkland says, this is a five point six billion dollar
industry and around half a billion dollars in state and
local tax revenue. He says the changes were cut that
by fifty percent.
Speaker 13 (27:57):
Without any real reason, any visible harm to the public.
We're having one hundred and eighty degree change in how
these games are being interpreted. Then, you know it's devastated.
Speaker 14 (28:07):
Regulations we'll take effect on April first, with compliance expected
by the end of May.
Speaker 13 (28:12):
Candidly, you know, we're not ready to just give up
and fold up shop by April first. We've you know,
we've had our lawyers working on this. We're gonna there's
gonna be some legal pushback.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Yeah, that's a big deal. I mean, a lot of
those card casinos they have, you know, forty to fifty
sixty blackjack tables and rely on that. That's it's gonna
be a fight there, all right. When we come back,
I'm going to tell you that we are as a country,
are in a hell of a lot of debt when
it comes to mortgages, car loans, student loans, and I'm
going to give you the number when we come back,
(28:43):
so you're gonna have to sit here and wait for that.
But you are not going to believe the total number
of how much money as a country we all owe.
And I'm not talking about our national debt. I'm talking
about just personal debt, credit cards, mortgages, car payments, students, loans.
It's off the charts and I don't know how we're
(29:04):
all going to pay it back. All Right, It's Conway Show.

days away. Next Tuesday we go six to ten pm
