you to be this weekend. That's coming up a little bit later on this
hour as well. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of
the KFI twenty four Hour Newsroom convicted murderer Scott Peterson has had a setback in
his efforts to get a new trial. The La Innocence Project took up Peterson's
case recently, claiming they could prove Peterson did not kill his pregnant wife,
Lacy if they were allowed to retest evidence from the trial in two thousand and
four. But now, after a hearing on Wednesday, judge has rejected most
of the requests and arguments from the La Innosons Project and Scott Peterson. ABC's
Alex Stone says the judge yesterday ruled one piece of duct tape found on Lacy
Peterson's pants can be retested, but requests to retest other items, like a
blood stained mattress were denied. Peterson is currently serving a life sentence without the
possibility for parole. The La City Council is voted to ban homeless camps in
parts of the San Fernando Valley. Three areas near underpasses by the one eighteen
freeway to others near the four H five and one by a motel will have
signs posted saying no camping, no sleeping, no sitting, no lying down,
no storage and more. Council members John Lee and Tracy Park push to
have the areas free of homeless camps, and the resolution was approved at yesterday's
council meeting. The vote was nine to four, with opposition from members Hugo
Soda, Martinez, Nitea, Rahman, Unisses, Hernandez, and Katie Rslavsky.
The resolution calls the camps threats to public safety and health. RV camps
have also been targeted for removal recently in downtown La Michael Monks KFI News.
San Clementi has received more than two hundred twenty five thousand tons of new sand
to enjoy this summer while protecting against landslides caused by coastal erosion. It's about
half of what we're supposed to get. San Clementi Councilman Chris Duncan says.
The sand is also a darker tan color that will eventually mix and get bleats
by the sun over time. It's still great because thirty to thirty five extra
feet of sand on our beaches from Linda Lane Park in the north root of
the pier and then south the T Street Beach. The now more than twenty
million dollar project has survived several delays from equipment failure, permitting issues and gravel
being delivered instead of sand, Cruiz are expected to finish widening the beach to
the full fifty feet this fall in Orange County. Corbin Carson Kafi News,
a sixth grader from Rancho Kucamonga, has earned a spot in the finals of
the Script's National Spelling Bee. Shrey Perik, who attends Day Creek Intermediate School,
earned his place by correctly spelling alstinin, which is a plant based compound.
During the semifinals, Abajeet Rondawa, an eighth grader from Auburndale Intermediate School
in Corona, oh is eliminated in the same round yesterday. Perik will compete
against seven others in the finals today. Right now, let's say good morning
too, ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen's Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has rejected a
for him to recuse himself from cases related to the January sixth capital attack.
Can you give us a refresher on why the Democrats were calling for it?
Sure? I remember the reports in the recent weeks of Samuel Alito flying the
American flag upside down outside his home in northern Virginia and flying the pine Tree
flag of the Appeal to Heaven statement outside his Jersey Shore beach house. Well,
what he had said in these reports, which were published in newspapers in
the last couple of weeks, is that he didn't do it, his wife
did it, and yesterday, in a letter to congressional Democrats, he expanded
on that. He says that he didn't even know the American flag was flying
upside down outside his home in Fairfax County, Virginia, until somebody called it
to his attention, and he says when that happened, he asked his wife
to take the flag down, but quote for several days she refused. Alito
also says his wife was solely responsible for flying that Appeal to Heaven flag outside
the beach house on the Jersey Shore, which is a home. He says
that the couple bought with money that Martha Ann Alito inherited from her family,
and that the home is titled in her name. He says his wife has
the First Amendment right to say whatever she wants and fly whatever flag she wants,
and he says that she is into flying flags and he's not well.
Ultimately, the question is, all right, so what so now? What?
So? Alito says he's not going to heed these calls to recuse himself
because he had nothing to do with the flying of these banners. At the
end of the day, there's nothing anybody can say or do about it,
because under the law, there is no enforceable code of ethics that applies to
the Supreme Court justices. They are on themselves and their own honor to uphold
the standards of ethics and propriety. Now they have to make certain financial disclosures,
there's certain rules that the Court has imposed on itself, but they don't
exactly have any teeth and there's no higher authority that would force Alito to recuse
himself. And so ultimately this becomes a crisis to a certain event of confidence
for the Supreme Court, which has to worry and certainly the Chief Justice has
expressed his worries about how the Court is viewed in the public mind. And
this is just another thing you can put on the list. Okay, So,
Stephen, I want to ask, is this really a crisis. This
was something that happened more than three years ago. The newspaper or whoever had
the picture of it decided this it wasn't enough. It obviously wasn't anything at
the time because they didn't publish it, right, So let me just jump
in real fast. The Washington Post reported over the weekend that they were aware
of the story back in twenty twenty one because neighbors called it into the paper.
The paper investigated and determined it didn't rise to the level of national significance
because it seemed to the reporter and the editor at the time that it was
simply a dispute between neighbors and it wasn't worth dragging the justice into it,
right, okay. And then the appeal to heaven flag. That's a big
deal because of cup of people at the January sixth riot at the Capitol had
those flags right well, and Alito says in his letter that it's an old,
historic flag, which it is. It's back to the Revolutionary War and
was carried by George Washington's troops. It was also, however, a banner
that was carried by some of the January sixth riders into the Capitol, and
for that reason it has become subject to scrutiny. Look, at the end
of the day, Alito can speak for himself on this, and so can
the critics speak for themselves. But that's going to, I think, be
the end of it until or unless, you know, Congress passes a law
that has some sort of enforcement mechanism and clear standards for when justice has to
step aside and recuse him or herself from the case. And until that happens,
it's going to be up to each judge, each justice, I should
say, and their discretion. Yeah, I think we should also note that
American flags were at that January sixth, Right, I think you're fair.
It's a fair and I'm gonna fly mine proudly, darn it. All right,
Stephen Portinoy, thanks so much for the information. Appreciate it, you
bet. All right, Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the CAMFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Border Patrol in San Diego says
at least twenty three migrants died while illegally crossing the border into California last year,
and the deputy chief of the San Diego Sector has a message for smugglers,
we will leverage all resources available to identify you and to ensure you are
prosecuted under the full extent of the law. Just Stallknocker says he now runs
the busiest sector in America for illegal crossing. Last year San Diego sector saw
apprehensions hit levels not seen and over twenty years. Stall Knocker says, last
year the apprehended two hundred and thirty thousand migrants, and with four months still
left this fiscal year, agents have already apprehended two hundred and fifty thousand along
the California Mexico border. Steve Gregory Caffine News. A six year old girl
has been hit and killed by a car in Pomona. Her nineteen year old
sister was severely hurt in the crash Tuesday night. Police say the sisters were
in a marked crosswalk at Town and Lexington Avenues when they were hit. The
nineteen year old driver stopped after the crash and was cooperating with police. The
man accused of breaking into his estranged girlfriend's home in Shadow Hills and stabbing her
more than twenty times, has been charged with attempted murder and other crimes.
The woman had a restraining order against Nick Pascual when she was attacked last Thursday.
Friends say she's had multiple surgeries. The La County DA's office says Pascual
was later detained at a US Mexico border checkpoint in Texas. Governor Newsom says
there are ways to ensure artificial intelligence can best serve the people of California.
This is California. I'm a thirty five the fifty top market cap AA companies

you know, we could put ourselves in a perilous position. At the
same time, we have an obligation to lead. Newsom took part in discussions
at the Joint California Summit on Generative AI, which focuses on how the state
can best use the transformative technology and its impacts on state's workforce. Newsom says
regulating AI as a delicate matter. We don't want to screw this up,
but we don't want it to screw us up. Newsom says California is a
leader in AI and says the state is committed to innovation. A widespread technology
issue has delayed many Southwest Airlines flights across the US. The airline said yesterday

weatherman Mark Krisky is recovering from a stroke. The station says the stroke earlier
this week was mild. Krisky's stroke comes nearly three weeks after the sudden death
of another former founding member of KTLA's morning news crew, entertained meant reporter Sam
Rubin. He died of a heart attack. He was sixty four at six
so five it's handled on the news. If you're driving an older model Nissan,
Bill's going to tell you why you should stop that right now. But
right now, we're going to go to the courtroom in Manhattan where Peter Haralumbus's
camped out and has been for the entire trial. And Peter, today is
day two of deliberations. So can you catch us up and bring us up
to speed on what happened yesterday? Yeah, So proceedings picked up yesterday morning
around ten am. The jury had stayed late on Tuesday night until eight PMS.
The judge gave him about thirty minutes to come in late, but it
went straight into the jury instructions. That's when the judge told the jury about
what they needed to believe to convict the former president. That went on for
about an hour, and then the jury began deliberating right around eleven thirty in
the morning. They deliberated for about three hours before they sent back their first
note requesting portions of testimony from Michael Cohen and David Pecker, two of the
key witnesses in this case. And then another note that came back about thirty
minutes later requesting a read back of the entire jury instruction that entire one hour
kind of bit of instruction they got in the morning yesterday. That's where we
left off. The juris coming back this morning at nine point thirty here in
New York. They're set to hear the readback that they're requested of the testimony
and also get some clarity on what part of the jury instructions they'd like to
hear. Okay, and the jury instructions, as I understand it, were
like fifty five pages long, so I guess that's why they're going to see
what part of it do you want to hear or do you want to hear
the whole thing over again? Yeah, the judges asked them to clarify what
they need. But interestingly enough, the jury might have every single piece of
evidence, all three hundred pieces, on a computer in the deliberations room,
but because of New York state law, they're not allowed to have that actual
jury instruction. It has to be read to them verbally. It's a technical
rule. But because of that, if they want to hear anything back and
again fifty five pages of lo a lot of it very technical about the law,
they want to hear that back, it has to be read verbally by
the judge. Okay, And so while the jury's deliberating, Peter, because
you're in the courtroom, what are you guys doing? Do you stay in
the courtroom? Does Trump stand the court room as everybody clear out what happens
there? Yeah, that's a great question. I have to say. The
vibe in that court room has changed significantly over the last day. So throughout
the trial, even during these really tense moments of testimony, right from people
like Michael Cohen, or Pecker or Stormy Daniels, we were always weeks or
days away from a verdict. Right, there was always going to be another
witness summation, a charge before we actually got to that vital moment of jury
instruction, to the vital moment of jury deliberations. But now we're sitting waiting
knowing that at any moment, within ten to fifteen minutes, the jury could
come back with a verdict and say they've convicted the forum president of the United
States, which is just an astounding outcome. Regardless really of how the swings,
whether it be a conviction or acquittal, we're moments away at any moments
in reality. So the press is sitting waiting in that courtroom. We're not
allowed to move, we're not allowed to talk. We just have to sit
quietly, no phones. Trump meanwhile, is allowed to be elsewhere in the
courthouse. He has a war room where he can hang out, but the
judge's ordered to stay in the physical courthouse. He always has to be like
five or ten minutes away from this courtroom in case there's a note or a
verdict. But it's noticeably more tested tended. Seems like the people understand the
weight of the moment. In that courtroom. Everyone seems to be slightly on
edge. Trump seems to be angry and tired at times. He raged to
the press twice yesterday, complaining that even mother Teresa would be convicted based on
the jury charge. So it's a sunningly different environment, I would say,
in this courthouse, and in particular in that courtroom, okay, And I
think a lot of people I'm wondering if they're keeping the jury or not the
jury, but keeping Trump close because they're expecting a quick verdict. I think
there was a lot of talk when I was watching shows yesterday, and everybody's
like, we think it's going to come anytime now, But that doesn't that
didn't happen. Does that signal anything? You know, it's hard to say.
The jury's only been out for about four hours when the first jury note
came in right around three o'clock yesterday. At that point, the jury was
deliberating for right about three hours. You know, there was a thought at
the time we didn't know whether or not there was a note requesting more testimony,
or if it was a note signaling they had reached a verdict. And
there was a legitimate thought in that moment that the jury, just after three
hours of deliberation, had reached a verdict either convicting or quitting the former president
that obviously didn't happen. They want to excuse me, they wanted more information,
But I get the sense that we're all kind of waiting for what we
know is going to come sooner or later. According to sources familiar with the
matter, Trump's legal team and the people around him are at this point just
really wishing for a hung jury. They want to see some notes from the
jury today or tomorrow that signal their issues with Michael Cohen simony. That's what
they're really hoping for here. And if it's a hung verdict, that's an
outcome that takes a while to reach because the jury ought to continue deliberating and
deliberating under the judges orders until they simply are hopelessly deadlocked, So it could
stretch on for a bit. If it's If that's actually the outcome, we're
going to see, okay, and we reconvene at six point thirty our time.
You're going to be there and can't wait to talk to you again and
hear more, and we'll have to wait and see. A verdict could come
at any time. Peter Hairelumbus, thank you so much for the information and
for being in the courtroom for us. Thanks so much, Amy, I
appreciate it. All. Right, take care. Let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Some of
the sheriff's deputies added to patrol the Metro system will be incognito. On top
of uniform deputies, undercover deputies have also been assigned to Metro. So for
anybody who's out there with the intent of doing harm, look out. You're
probably going to get arrested. La County Sheriff Luna says he has and will
continue to beef up staffing on Metro to comply with a surge of law enforcement
ordered by the Metro Board. Increase staffing comes in response to a recent spike
in violent crime across the system. Luda says most of the crime his department
has responded to was committed by people who did not pay fair Blake Trolly k

who allegedly shoved an elderly woman to the ground. The woman was on her
morning walk last Thursday when she says she saw the man and tried to go
around him, but police say Jalen James intentionally pushed her down. Police were
called later about the same man trying to punch random people in the area.
Police used a drone to track down and arrest James. San Diego County has
reported another tuberculosis case, this time at the College of Continuing Education. Officials
say the potential exposure happened between late November and late February, mostly in the
computer lab. TB cases in San Diego County have gone from one hundred ninety
three four years ago to two hundred and forty three last year. Jackie.
The FAA has opened an investigation into a close call on a runway in Virginia.
My goodness, we're having a lot of these. ABC's Alex Stone says
an American Airlines flight heading to Boston yesterday had clearance to take off from the
Reagan National Airport. It was rolling down the runway and got up to about
one hundred and ten miles an hour when air traffic control realized the plane was
on a collision course with a King Air aircraft landing on an intersecting runway.
Stone says the pilots slammed on the brakes. The two planes appeared to have
been less than about thirteen hundred feet apart. There was another close call at
Reagan National last less than a week ago, involving a Southwest and Jet Blue
airplane. A petition has been started to memorialize KTLA entertainment reporter Sam Rubin on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The petition, posted Tuesday, calls for fans
to sign up in support of Reuben getting a star. The Hollywood Chamber of
Commerce accepts nominations annually, but posthumous awards require a two year waiting period after
death. Ruben died May tenth, which means the Chamber would have to make
an exception to award him a star this soon. I think that's completely fitting.
A man in Michigan has been caught on video during a court hearing driving
on a suspended license. The judge looked a little surprised when the man joined
the zoom hearing two weeks ago. Mister, are you driving, Ashley?
I'm pulling into my doctor's office. Actually he's suspended and he's just driving.
That is correct, your honor. The drivers are to turn himself in that
night. Ugh gets lots of points for extra brains. Jurors will be back
for a second day of deliberation in former President Trump's criminal case over whether he
falsified documents in making hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. In about
four hours of deliberations yesterday, jurors asked about testimony from former National Inquirer publisher
David Pecker and Michael Cohen, Trump's former fixer. They also asked to rehear
jury instructions. All charges have been dropped against the number one ranked golfer in
the world, Scottie Scheffler. He was arrested and charged with assault of a
police officer as he was trying to get to the PGA Championship in Kentucky a
couple weeks ago. Police say Scheffler ignored instructions. Scheffler said it was a
misunderstanding. The charges were dismissed yesterday. An aggressive auditor otter is back at
the beach. The otter, known as eight four to one, was spotted
over the weekend in the waters off Santa Cruz. He caught everyone's attention last
summer because he got aggressive with surfers and was able to evade capture by wildlife
crews. Wildlife officials are warning people to stay away from eight four to one
and any other sea otters you may run into in the water. At six
oh five, it's handle on the news. Judge Alito says he is not
recusing himself from Supreme Court cases tied to the January sixth Capitol riot. Why
Democrats want him to. Bill's going to tell you. Call went out and
about two thousand Oaks for the Thousand Oaks phil Harmonic. We went to see
some future musical stars. There are two more performances coming up next weekend,
so you do still have an opportunity to go see them. We caught up
with music director and conductor Maxim Kuzen during intermission, so at this point we
had seen half the show and I can tell you it was it was pretty
spectacular. Maxim. Can you please tell us what is so unique about the
Thousand Oaks phil Harmonic. Well, thousand Oxsphrmonic was created more than twenty years
ago by Francis Edward, a renowned local teacher pianist. Since then, we
built the organization, built a program which fosters young talents yea, and we
are as far as we know, we're the only professional symphony orchestra whose sole
mission is to support young talents. So we have during the year, we
have a young artist competition, okay, and we select about from twenty to
twenty four to twenty five young soulists, very talented and they are from Ventura
County, Malibu, Calabasses, this this area. So we limit ourselves purposefully
so that we serve these kids because Los Angeles have a little bit more.
Los Angeles County had a little bit more of opportunities. So the program so
far raised quite a number of well rounded, maybe to say renowned musicians like
Sean Chen pianist Sean Chan, Alexander Vassmann, cellist, Andrew Jones Jans sorry,
Andrew Jan's and we are continue our mission, okay, And I'm like
practically speechless, which is not you know, that doesn't happen very often for
me. But tell us about who some of the kids that we got to
see perform today, because the one we just saw come off stage, he's
a pianist and he's in fifth grade. Yes, yes, I mean it
was just spectacular, and he's not the youngest. Last concert, last concept,
we had Claire Claire I don't remember her last name. At the moment,
Claire is seven years old. She performed three movement concerto. These kids,
some of them, some of them are really prodigy, like we had
Mozart and and some other you know, individuals who could play at the very
young age. God knows where there's talent come from comes from. So we
these these kids, they have a unique opportunity as I as I think because
they have two concerts with a professional symphony orchestra, which is a very rare
opportunity. Usually in order to win such an opportunity, you need to win
a competition and then you are maybe one or two who are selected to perform
with a professional orchestra, usually one we have here in Ventura County. We
have twenty four young musicians who has an ability every year to win a ride
to perform. So some of them performed with orchestra for three, four or
five times and performing two times on Friday and then on Sunday. On Friday,
they're always very nervous, yeah, and then on Sunday it's just a
delight. So you're lucky because you see it on Sunday. Well, I
am, like I said, I'm kind of gobsmacked about how talented they are.
And yeah, I just think it's got to be such a cool experience
for them. I mean when I played violin as a kid, and I
didn't play it very well, you know, I played with a bunch of
people my age who are also weren't very good. But so them, for
them to be that talented and then get the opportunity to play it with a
professional orchestra, I mean like, wow, yes, yes, we're very
We're very proud, and I think that our mission is to support these young
kids. So we have not only the opportunity for them to perform, but
we also have an a see another program in Ornella Irvin, a local,
local, talented, it's extremely skillful teacher. She she runs that program.
So kids enter into the program, they get master classes, they get opportunities
to perform in a chamber setting, in in local elder homes, you know,
facilities like that, and then going through that program kind of raises their
level in a little bit. And then they have to compete in order to
get this opportunity. So they participate in the Young Artists competition and then if
they win, they have these exciting, exciting opportunities and I'm I'm I'm so
happy that we have these parents who support them because our mission is is here
in the in the community where we are local and we are devoted to these
young kids and to help them grow. Yeah, and so tell us because
we've got more performances coming up after this one. When's the next round of
performances? The next we will have two concerts in June. Every every year
we have three sets of two concerts. So next one in June, and
you you can go on our website tail feel dot org. If I'm not
mistake, but if you google a one thousand ORCS Philharmonic, it's the first
choice and all information there and you can buy tickets there. There is a
link. So please come to our concerts. I'm telling the people who are
in this area because this is really outstanding opportunities as I think, and Amy,
you can you can tell it from your experience. Yeah, well,
and you called it a musical feast. I'm like, I'm ready for the
second course. And I think the other thing that's really cool is maximum when
you do your performance, it comes down, comes over to the mic in
between the different performances and tells you a little bit about what's coming up,
which I think is really interesting because I don't know, I'm not familiar with
all of this, although that Mozart, I know that's my you know,
but that's a more familiar artist for us. So yeah, I just think
it's such a great way to spend an afternoon or evening. So I'm gonna
let you get back because I know you've got a lot to do. Maximkusin,
thank you so much for this opportunity. And if you're looking for something
really kind of interesting, slows you down a little bit, makes you appreciate
life, because like music is good for the soul, and I think that
that is absolutely true. Like it's just because Nick went with me. Yeah,
and it it just it does slow you down, and it makes you
just chill for a little bit and just appreciate good music. Yes, and
I think watching these really young talents, you and I both talked to me
we were watching, but we kind of talked about the performance. It's incredible.
It really when you're saying it's incredible and talking to the conductor, No,
it really is. To see you're not lying, no, But I
know I think it sounds silly, but like these are genuine prodigies, and
to see them firsthand in person and to think what their future likely holds is
incredible, really just incredible. Yeah. So that's the Thousand Oaks Philharmonic,
and lucky for you, there are two more performances. Because Maxim was saying
that they do like six performances a year, they've got two more. They're
on Friday, June seventh at seven thirty pm and Sunday, June ninth at
two point thirty. They're happening at the Janet and Ray Sheer Forum Sure Forum
at the b of A Performing Arts Center in Thousand Oaks, and you can
get tickets at Thophil dot org. So t o phil dot org. And
if you like music, if you're not even sure you like music, if
you have kids who are interested in music, this is something that they could
really enjoy too. I mean, it's just a really really there's not a
bad seat in the house. It really is a very incredibly acoustically and very
very nice venue. So we should go out in about two more places like
that. Nick, I'm down, all right. Le's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The boy
who is accused of plotting a Columbine style shooting at his high school in Ontario,
could take a plea deal today. Police say eighteen year old Sebastian via
Signor said he wanted to ambush and kill students at Ontario Christian High School on
the twenty fifth anniversary of Columbine. Guns and thousands of rounds of AMMA were
found at his home. If the deal is made, he'll get three years
probation and be ordered to stay away from the school. A seventy page Q
and A report could help explain what led up to forty seven arrests at a
pro Palestinian protest at UC Irvine. Faculty asked why a couple hundred officers swarmed
UC Irvine amid claims of violence when no protesters were arrested for violent offenses,
and why campus communications inaccurately claimed hundreds of protesters had taken over a building two
weeks ago when initially it was just a few. UCI administrators talked about several
officer injuries and an erratic protester were arrested with knives to show the threat to
campus safety, and also how UCI's commitment to free speech does not include unrest
or taking over a campus building. Faculty will review the document tomorrow. In
Orange County, Corbin Carson kff I News, a top Israeli official says the
war in Gaza will go on at least through the end of the year.
Palestinians in the southern city of Raffa reported heavy fighting there yesterday. Residents of
Ruffa have been reporting that there have been more as ready air strikes and that

border with Egypt. The military says it located twenty tunnels crossing into Egypt.
Another farmer's market is popping up in La County City. County or City Council
officials announced the news yesterday, saying the need for another one in East La
has been growing for years. The nonprofit in the making will use county funds
this summer to create the City Terrace Market, which aims to address a fresh
food desert in the area. It's also intended to help local small businesses.
The county's delivered one point one millillion dollars to support farmers' markets in East LA
over the last ten years. Carfax data shows more than seven hundred thousand air
bags need to be replaced in cars in California. The cars still have Takata
airbags in them. Faulty Takata airbags have killed twenty seven people and injured at

airbags, followed by California with seven hundred thirty nine thousand. A massive amount
of lithium has been unearthed in Pennsylvania. University of Pittsburgh. Scientists say the
discovery could eventually supply more than a third of what the US needs for rechargeable
batteries that power cell phones and electric vehicles. Two point two million Americans over
the age of fifty five still have student loan debt they're trying to pay off.
A new survey from the Federal Reserve says half the borrowers are in the
middle income bracket and on average still owe about fifty eight thousand dollars. That's
crazy. Okay ran across this story and thought it was kind of interesting.
Nick and I were just talking about it, and that is Do you know
any people who always tell you how busy they are? Oh? Yes,
always, and it always feels like they're the only one that is as busy
as they are, So no one else is doing anything, No one has
the responsibilities or the workload or anything to that level. So yeah, well,
so apparently bragging about how busy you are makes people think you're an idiot.
I've worked with several people like this, and sometimes like, I've worked
with several idiots, So yeah, you are legitimately busy. Nick Pauli o'kannie
is one of the busiest people I've ever met. This is the weirdest thing
to say, but thank you, trust me. And like I'll be sitting
on the couch and like binge watching a show and he'll go, well,
I went to Disneyland, and then I went to Nottsberry Farm, and then
I went to Universal Studios, and then I went over to the Long Beach
Grand Prix and then I caught a show with the Pantages. I'm like all
in one day, but you don't. You don't talk about it like oh,
I'm so busy, or that it's annoying, like that you just are
busy. But I've worked with people like this. I remember there was a
guy named Todd who I worked with in Portland and he would always like,
go, oh, I was working until eight thirty last night, and I'm
like, yeah, but you took a three hour lunch. I mean like
he was always the person who wanted you to know how hard he worked.
And I think that it's true. But they've done research on it now,
and researchers looked at like hundreds of workers and found that the stress braggers as
they call him, generated ill will and were less likely to get help from
co workers when they were legitimately overloaded. Yeah. No, and I agree,
and I think too, since we're in this unique world that still has
some post pandemic, working from home and working remotely, there's still a certain
amount of resentment as well. So somebody that is, you know, really
working so hard from home and you know, is able to use the restaurant
anytime they want and be able to take a break anytime they want, all
the I'm on now, So yeah, I mean, not granted, obviously
a gripe of mine, but no, it just I don't know, it
just doesn't make sense to be complaining about all that stuff. Well, and
here's the other the offshoot of that too, and this is it's published in
Personnel Psychology. Also shows that the people who are doing this stress bragging are
contagious. So when they're telling you how busy they are. By constantly hearing
that, the people who are around the bragger end up feeling more stressed themselves
and then are more likely to you know, start getting burned out. Huh.
Yeah. It creates an expectation, apparently, that everybody should be operating
at this intense, unsustainable level. So when you're telling everybody how busy you
are, maybe rethink it and think, you know what, I bet he's
just as busy as me, or she's just as busy as I am,
and quit bragging about how busy you are. Yeah, I agree, And
then I'm going to remember that because I have done it before, and I
catch myself off and I go, oh god, let's see. I think
that's one of those if it's infrequent, that's one thing. These are the
people that are doing it constantly, right mm hmm yeah. Yeah, So
okay, so we get away with it every one Now, every once in
a while, you get a pass Okay, Hey, we were trying to
connect with the CEO of LA's Wine Fest, but having problems connecting with her
this morning, so we're going to still tell you about this. And the
cool news is we have a pair of tickets to the La wine Fest,
which is happening at the Long Beach Waterfront this weekend. And we have a
pair of tickets. And since we're on six forty and sixty four is two
high. Six forties way too high to have callers. How about we'll take
six and four and make ten. I love it. That makes sense like
your math. Okay, So caller number ten right now is going to win
a pair of tickets to LA wine Fest, which is an exploration of taste
at eight hundred five two zero one KFI. That's eight hundred five two zero
one five three four again, a pair of tickets to LA's Wine Festival.
It's this weekend in Long Beach. Eight hundred five to zero one KFI.
Eight hundred five to zero one five three four. Now, let's talk about
what this is because normally we'd be doing Nick's top picks right but we didn't
this week. But they'll be back next week and you can always check out
this weekend with Nick dot com correct and also follow you on Instagram. Yeah,
Nick, Pauli o'channio this week with Nick on Instagram. You check the
linkl bio for all the details of things you can do through the weekend.
But this is really cool and I'm super excited for you to check it out.
You are to pull back the curtain a little bit. You're gonna be
able to check it out this weekend. But this is right by the Queen
Mary So it's Harry Bridges's Memorial Park. You have a beautiful view of downtown
Long Beach and it's out by if you've ever been down there. It's out
by the Carnival Cruise terminal which used to be where this Bruce Goose was,
that big dome in the general area, and it's over nearby the Hotel Maya.
But it's a really unique opportunity. And as we were finding out and
reading through it, it's returning after a couple of years, right, So
it's the nineteenth one. It's been gone for a couple of years. It's
coming back this weekend. It's got hundreds of award winning wines. My favorite
thing. Plus, if you're not a total wine person. They've got craft
bruise, kambucha and other beverages. Again, it's going to be obviously outdoor.
There's going to be live music, there's going to be like a dozen
food trucks. They're going to have some boutique shopping. I always love a
little bit of shopping. And again it's Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are like
their tickets are still available. They have VIP tickets which are one hundred and
fifty dollars. The general admission at the gate is one hundred dollars, which
includes entry into the fest, a souvenir stemless glass that you get to keep,
and then it also includes all your wine and craft brew tastings, and
then of course water, coffee and the overall fest experience. I just think
it sounds like a really fun way to spend the afternoon, and it's going
to be beautiful this weekend. Definitely. Yeah, it's in the afternoon.
I think it's from it's one to five on Sunday, I think two to
six on Saturday. And you can get all the information, get your tickets,
all of that stuff at lawinefest dot com. Again, that's the nineteenth
La Winefest in Long Beach this weekend, and I'll check it out. Yeah,
I'll you know, I mean, it's kind of like something I had.
It is one hundred percent something you have to do. And maybe,
just maybe you'll have a couple of minutes to put something on Instagram and Amy
Kking to check out all the fun that you're having there. You just never
know, so I invite you to follow me. Be sure to do so.
