This is Gary and Shannon and you'relistening to k IF I am six forty
the Gary and Shannon Show on demandon the iHeartRadio app. There comes a
time in your life when they getyou know, you get rinked. Don't
stop using my hands anyway. That'sa clever way to because it's bad how
happens when you sleep, because yourboobs get Yeah, exactly, There's no

(00:23):
other thing you could find to putthere than a stuffed animal. Nothing.
I mean, it seems like itwould work really well. It's time for
swamp like it's the Narwalm would probablyhorrible. Doesn't make us like a reality
TV shose Washington, d c Hey, Joe, a town hall too,

(00:49):
clearly built on a swamp in somany ways, still a swamp. Watch
of my boy, said d theswamp, I said, Oh that's so
hell you know thing. Okay,now's where we talk politics. But we
have to talk about court cases andpolitics because jury selection is going to resume

(01:11):
here in a few minutes in thehush money case in New York against former
President Trump. So if if you'rejust looking for an update, we're in
day two now. He took aseat the former president did between his attorney's
Jury selection resumed for the second day. He was seen flipping through the jury
questionnaire leaning back in his chair throughoutthe morning. At least eight potential jurors

(01:36):
were excused some of the reasons why. One of them said it was probably
going to be tough to be impartialand acknowledge that he's from Texas and has
a lot of Republican friends. Anotherone. A few potential jurors said they
didn't think they could be fair andimpartial, including one woman who said she
subscribed to anti Trump newsletters. Atone point, I was just going to
say, I'm surprised by the honestyof people, and the fact that there's

(01:57):
so many who said they can't bepartial. Impartial is a testament to just
what kind of brand this person is. The response that he brings from people,
whether it's overwhelmingly good or overwhelmingly bad, you're either one or the other.
There's no lukewarm feelings about Trump,and you have to know that outside

(02:22):
of just the context of who ison trial, you're signing up for a
circus. You are signing up fora bona fide four ring clowns in all
circus, but you're also signing upfor a book deal. I don't think
so, because this is criminal trialfor a president. But there will be

(02:45):
books. You're, Bob, yougrew up in West Virginia like I don't.
You're not going to bring anything excitingto this case. The case itself
is not the greater of the fourcases that are you know, this is
the weakest of the four cases thathe's going to be facing here in the
next few months or years. Butjust hearing what would go on in the
jury room and the people that maywant to get on this trial and will

(03:07):
not be honest during vardir just toget on, just to be seated on
this well, and there's got tobe some people for all of these people
who have been excused, there's gotto be people who want to be on
it. So just to be onit, yes, And if nothing else,
Hey, what if you get somebodywho's super died in the woold Trump
guy or coal right, and allyou know is you're going to hold out.

(03:29):
There is no way they're going toconvict him. You will never vote
to convict. Therefore hung jury andyou saved America or whatever mentality you think
you have there. So like yousaid. The jurors were pressed on their
opinion of Trump, asking whether theyharbored any views about him in any capacity,
political or otherwise. One perspective jurorsaid, if we were sitting in

(03:52):
a bar, i'd be able totell you. But in the courtroom,
that opinion has absolutely no bearing onthe case. Now, how would you
know where that person comes down?No idea. So next they're going to
resume here, and they said abouteleven fifteen hour time, so very soon
in the next few minutes, thejudge said, the attorneys for both sides

(04:14):
are going to begin to use theirperemptory strikes on the potential jurors that they
will believe that they believe will nothelp their case. And my understanding is
a peremptory strike you can kind ofuse it for anything you might not look
like the way she dressed or theshoes that that guy's wearing. Sure,
because that might convey to you somethingyou don't want in a juror. So
they both sides have ten strikes they'reallowed to use for their entire jury selection

(04:38):
process, and after those are excused, the judge said, they'll move on
to the six jurors who have notyet been questioned among this group, and
then after those are questioned, hesaid he wants the judge said he wants
to bring in a second panel ofprospective jurors today. The prosecutor said to
the would be jurors that attorneys werenot looking for people who had been living
under a rock for the past eightyears, just needed people with an open

(05:01):
mind. He said, that hasnothing to do with your personal politics.
It's not a referendum on the Trumppresidency or a popularity contest or are you
going to vote for in November.We don't care. This case is about
whether the man broke the law,and I don't know you can't. I
don't know how you would be ableto considering the temperature of politics these days,

(05:24):
right, and how intertwined Donald Trump'simage is with the Republican Party and
Joe Biden's images with the Democratic Partylike that, it's absolutely going to be
exactly that. You can't separate that, you just can't. But can you
then still make a neutral choice?Can you be agnostic towards charges until they

(05:46):
actually until you present or are presentedthe evidence. That's one of the other
things that the lawyer reminded these jurors, was you don't know the evidence in
this case because everything you've heard upto this point is not evidence. That's
just basic you know, reporting andthings like that that some of it wouldn't
wouldn't stand up to the rules ofevidence in New York. So you didn't
sleep with guiberg Azorp. No wheredid he live? And like in your

(06:11):
just in your rooms, in theroom somewhere. Yeah, did you talk
to goober Gazorp? Probably? Yeah? Yeah, like what what what did
you share with him? Just aboutwho you know? Broke my heart?
Really? Yeah, you were oldenough to have your heart broken and you
were still talking to guberg Azorp.That's what it felt like. When I
was seven, Nicole Jansen moved away. It was one of them. Yeah,

(06:32):
wow, you had a couple arough couple of years I did.
Nicole moved away the Great flood came. It was right about that same time.
Yeaheah. Maybe the flood took heraway. Maybe I'm conflating two stories
and she went down the river.A biometal engineer major has been chosen in
from about one hundred applicants with GPAsof three point nine to eight or higher,

(06:55):
but the decision sparked outrage as wellas some groups that flagged her used,
one group saying she openly promotes antiSemitic writing, so she will not
be delivering a speech at graduation.Trump's a short list for vice president is
growing, not shrinking, keeps comingup with new names for consideration. He
does have some requirements, according toan advisor who spoke to The Washington Post.

(07:19):
He says that he's Trump's treating thislike he's on the Apprentice when it
comes to pitting people against each otherand finding out who kisses the ring the
best. But this is his carrotdangling tactic where he's you know, he's
never going to tell you exactly whereyou stand, but if you think you've

(07:40):
got a chance, you'll kiss upto that guy, right. He says
he wants the person who is attractive, telegenic, not taller than Trump himself,
committed to upholding the fact in hismind that the election was stolen.
He wants them around, but nota lot. Trump wants someone he sees
in person but doesn't see too much. So who would that? I mean,

(08:03):
of the people that we know,do any do any of the names
that we've even heard of up tothis point fit that Bill. I mean,
you could argue Tim Scott. Iwas gonna just say Tim Scott because
he says black and or a woman, though neither is a must. Tim
Scott kind of has that vibe too, like he's around, but he won't
bother you. Did you hear abouthis his remarks at Gettysburg Tim Scott No,

(08:31):
Donald Donald Trump, No, Ihave not. Oh, that's that's
worth a listen. He's talking aboutGettysburg like he is, Like Gettysburg is
news like he is. It isobvious that he is not a historian,
probably didn't read all the books.Most men start to get into middle aged

(08:54):
about history and things. But he'slike, oh, look at Gettysburg.
Beautiful. It's beautiful. But itwas so violent, but it's beautiful.
It was just it was just lonsensical. Congressman Thomas Massey out of Kentucky has
announced that he will co sponsor aresolution to kick out Speaker Mike Johnson from

(09:18):
the House's top job. He toldcolleagues during a closed door conference today that
he will co sponsor this motion tovacate resolution that was filed by Marjorie Taylor
Green. When reporters caught up withhim outside that closed door meeting today.
He said he explicitly asked Mike Johnsonto resign. There's only one person right
now who could stop us from goinginto what happened to flast fall and asked

(09:41):
Mike Johnson, he's cleaning the barn, that's obvious. You want him to
resign, You want him to resign? Yes, yeah, I asked him
to resign. He said he wouldnot, and then he said, well,
you're the one who's going to putus into this because the motion is
going to get called. Okay,does anybody doubt that emotion will get called?
And then he's going to lose morevotes than Kevin McCarthy and I have

(10:01):
told him this in private, likeweeks ago. I just don't think that
Democrats voted against McCarthy because they wantedto make a statement. Now. I
think they just realized they don't needthe turmoil anymore. I don't think they're
going to get this that Thomas Masseyand Marjorie Taylor Green you are going to
get the support they think they are. Do you want your jeopardy question?

(10:22):
Okay? That sounds like fun.New York City, New York City for
six hundred dollars. Take a selfiewith a statue of liberty aboard this twenty
five minute ride to the Saint GeorgeTerminal across New York Harbor. I don't
know right on a unicorn's back?Is it a stuffed unicorn? It could

(10:45):
be Staten Island ferry. Oh,very similar to a unicorn. Did you
have a joke, hey Mondo?Yeah? Gary? What did the macaroni
and cheese say to the impossible burger? I don't know what you taste like?
Crap? Oh cheesy, so droll? I know, let me teach

(11:18):
you it. Savager is still takinga nap, but this morning's handle show.
Yeah yeah, so is it nappynap times we will talk food stuff.
Do you think he's sleeping with astuffed hamburger? You know there's a
there's a there's an offshoot of TastyTuesday. We don't really get into very
much because we talk about food anddrink and restaurants and stuff like that.

(11:41):
We very very rarely talk about theutensils that are required for eating and dry.
That is an excellent point because thereis a straw sweeping the nation anti
aging straw. So you know Ihave these wrinkles because I smoked cigarettes for
so many I thought it was amustache. No, that's waxed. These

(12:03):
are wrinkles. Oh okay, nowthat you say, don't smoke cigarette,
kids get wrinkles. But anyway,some people are trying to make this straw
happen. It's a straw that hasa curved to it at the top and
this way you don't like suck onthe straw like you would a cigarette.

(12:24):
To me, so it's not justa tube going into your mouth, right,
it's it's a tube that goes acrossyour mouth and then the whole is
it somewhere on the It looks ridiculous. It does look ridiculous. Just don't
use a straw. Doctor Leah Tottenof the Doctor Leah Cosmetic Skin Clinics says

(12:45):
there is no scient scientific evidence asto whether anti wrinkle straws are an effective
method of preventing perioral wrinkles perioral perioralnear your oral Also, some slight pursing
of the lips is still involved,so maybe it doesn't work at all,
that's what she said. Also,you're gonna get wrinkles, you're gonna get

(13:09):
old, You're gonna get wrinkles.Wrinkles come from sun exposure, loss of
collagen during aging, and smoking,not straws. Right, even every day
laughing and talking can impact your facialwrinkles more so than straws do. But
you don't have any wrinkles, aren'tright? I don't because I waxed them,

(13:31):
because it's because your face just doesthat. But this is this is
the new this, this whole thing, this whole big dumb cup siascos,
you know the trend that has gonearound. I hate having straws in the
big dumb cups. That doesn't makeany simp But people I don't wear by
them. You're gonna have washed thatthing a lot. Yeah, keep clean,

(13:54):
that's right, all right? Comingup next, we will be talking
about kebabs, the changes coming toSubway. Starbucks has some new drinks to
tell you about. Now we're gettinginto some food and the quality bacon.
What bacon is the best? Letme introduce you to a man named Jack.

(14:15):
Jack is the founder of Mossus Kebab. He opened his first kebab stand
at the Glendale Galleria food Court innineteen seventy six. Wow. His son
Peter says, Dad wanted to havesomething that was Armenian in this brand new,
shiny mall. It was always theirfather's dream to sell a taste of
their culture to the masses. Backwhen Armenian food really wasn't easy to find.

(14:37):
It was not an instant's success.People said, what are these kebabs?
What's a kebab? Looks foreign?I don't know about a kebab hot
chunks of meat mixed in with hotchunks of vegetables. I'm in absolutely,
I love a kebab, less cutting, there's less just a little nut in

(15:00):
your mouth. Put a little nuggetin your mouth. That's what you should
have said on the kabab. StandSee, they didn't even ask me to
put a little nugget in your mouth. Big changes coming to Subway this year,
some of the menu changes that weknow after Rourke Capital swooped in and
try to save them. They're goingto have baked Lay's foot long crisp a

(15:22):
twelve inch crispy treat trime for NationalPotato Time, for National Potato Chip Day.
They're talking about adding charging stations ata lot of their Subway restaurants so
that people have a reason to stickaround the Subway app is going to be
changed. They're doing new recipes fortheir bread. Among other things, they're

(15:45):
going to offer a lavash style flatbread, a staple in places like Armenia and
Iran, making its first appearance ata subway. They're also doing a foot
long dessert menu, including the footlong cookie, the foot long pretzel,
and the foot long churro, previouslyonly available on a limited basis. Long
cookie here. That mean, Ithink it's a cookie that's about a foot

(16:10):
long. That's a big cookie.That's what they all say. And the
bigger change, probably money wise,is they're going from Coca Cola to Pepsi.
Huge. I don't know any restaurantsthat have done that, I mean,
nothing of this scale, But intwenty twenty five, Subway is going
to swap out all of its CocaCola brand products for Pepsi. I wonder

(16:30):
how that worked out. Do youjust get I mean, is it just
a straight up money deal? Yeah, it must be. Starbucks has three
new spicy drinks Spicy dragon Fruit,spicy pineapples, spicy strawberries, Spicy coal,
spicy cream, cold foam. Mlet's see this is what this entails.

(16:52):
A spicy dragon Fruit drink combines mangoand dragon fruit flavors with zesty lemonade
and the Chains spicy chili powder blend. I wonder if it's just too much
going on in one drink. Ifeel like that's what that was. I
did see. I saw an adtoday for Casamigos, the tequila that now

(17:12):
has a holopano infused tequila. That'syou know, that's just uh. I
mean, I suppose if you're makingthis one of those spicy margaritas or something
out of it, that's probably great. But I just feel like we can
pump the brakes on putting spice ineverything. Yeah. I'm not a big
fan. I'm like, I don'tknow, I'm not a big fan of
the when they mess around with liquorsand they make them you know, apple

(17:34):
flavored or what have you, honeywhiskey or something. Yeah, it's like,
I'm just a purist. We gotsome bacon for you to buy.
Yeah. They say that the sixor the five highest quality bacon brands to
look out for are right hickory smokedbacon. I've never seen that package.
Sounds good. Oscar Meyer Original Bacon, that's my personal bacon. The Oscar

(17:57):
Meyer. My my bacon has afirst name. O Scar Farmland apple wood
smoked classic cut bacon is another onethat's easy to overlook but should be purchased.
The green Field Natural Meat apple woodsmoked uncured that specifically, I spend
quite a bit of time in thebacon aile just seeing what's going on.

(18:18):
I haven't seen a lot of theseHormel Natural Choice uncured bacon three or four
moans, et cetera. Of anothervariety, the wors Worth checking out five
bucks for about twelve ounces, notthe cheapest but still pretty great, A
great version of it. Do youthink bacon is like pizza whereas you know,
no, I've had bad bacon well, and I think you can.
I think cooking it is important too. I'm not a soggy bacon person now,

(18:44):
but there are times when you whenI have cooked at myself and it's
turned out poor, poor, likein what way? Just it's not long
enough, or if sometimes you fryit up in a frying pan, it
doesn't it's in the oil for toolong, and it just is You're never
gonna get it crispy. As opposedto baking bacon, how do you cook
yours. I usually bake it ona rack in the oven. I bake

(19:08):
it too, my husband uses thepan. I'm glad we had that talk.
