Episode Transcript

(00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you'relistening to KFI AM six forty, the
Gary and Shannon Show on demand onthe iHeartRadio app. Researchers found that the
smaller the testicles, the louder themonkey. Isn't that the truth? Because
when you've got big testicles, youdon't have to be loud. You don't
have to be loud. They justkind of present themsel you have that big
testicle confidence, right the BTE,I think, is what they call that.

(00:24):
I learned something about monkeys on myvacation that I wanted to share with
you. I'm listening. It's notabout testicles, well it could be,
but why you were in Utah?How many monkeys are in Utah? Well
interesting you should ask. If youenter Zion National Park through the Springdale Gate,
you drive past Hurricane Mesa. Butit's known by the locals as Flying

(00:49):
Monkey Mesa. Why the Mesa playeda very important role during the Cold War.
It was a testing site for ejectorseats because before the use of yet,
military pilots made emergency escapes manually.They climbed out of the cockpit onto
the wing and jumped off. Butthen jets came along reaching speeds above mak

(01:10):
one, which is they just climbout onto the wing no, which is
seven hundred and sixty seven miles perhour. So the ejector seats became the
answer, but the technology was notthere yet. Only twenty percent of pilots
who ejected from planes between nineteen fortynine and nineteen fifty six made it safely
to the ground, so, knowingthings had to change, construction began on

(01:32):
the Hurricane Mesa test facility where theyused monkeys as crash dummies, okay,
to test ejector seats, so thatwould explain where the monkeys came from,
but that was many, many yearsago, and some situations monkeys, and
some situations they used bears, butmonkeys by and large, And then when

(01:52):
they transitioned to the crash dummies,they started calling those flying monkeys, kind
of a homage to the first monkeysused and the Wizard of Oz. And
the Wizard of Oz not a greatstory, but so there were no monkeys
there. I thought you were goingto say, I know what I thought
you were going to say. Tosixty one, A couple of them survived

(02:15):
the ejection seat test and then startedtheir own Colony and they're just wild monkeys
parts of Utah. Now, no, okay, good, but I did
see it, so I would goto Utah to see Yeah. Wild that
sounds like a movie plot. Sure, that's probably where they filmed parts of
you know, the ape parts ofBryce Canyon looked like Planet of the Apes

(02:39):
type sets. I bet they did. Hey, welcome to a Thursday.
It's welcome, happy summer to you. In this summer, it is the
longest day of the year. Jacobloves the summer solstice. He's got a
big plan tonight for a moon partybecause remember tomorrow's very strawberry moon and summer

(03:00):
solstice means a lot for the practitionersof astrology. Right Geminis, especially tropical
storm Alberto, just as we predicted, made landfall in northeast Mexico this morning
and brought a bunch of flooding toTexas. At least three people killed in
storm related events in Nuevo Leone inMexico. One teenager trapped by currents in

(03:23):
a river. Two other miners electrocutedwhen they were crossing a pond that had
come in contact with a live cable. In Texas, the tides now surged
beneath elevated homes in some coastal cities, including places like Surfside Beach, about
forty miles south of Galveston, startingyesterday. The city closed its beech earlier

(03:43):
this week, and it has beenwarning people to stay away from the flooding
as it got worse. The NationalHurricane Center said that Alberto was a pretty
large storm, tropical force winds extendedabout two hundred and fifty miles away from
its center. The good news isAlberto is lessening in strength as it may
makes its way obviously across the Mexicanmainland. This storm is also bringing and

(04:08):
pushing some moisture up into parts ofNew Mexico, which is weird because just
yesterday and the day before we weretalking about the fires in New Mexico.
Fires there had killed a couple ofpeople in a couple of different parts of
New Mexico, and now they're sayingthunderstorms could threaten those same areas with flash

(04:28):
flooding. Heavy rain actually complicated effortsfrom the firefighters yesterday to contain a couple
of the fast moving fires near Ruidoso. The South Fork and the Salt fires
have about twenty three thousand acres combinedburned in those two fires. You've been
to Costa Rica, didn't you getyour fill of monkeys when you were there?
I actually I enjoyed them they too. They were really they were fun.

(04:54):
If you're there, like if you'reCoasta Rican, I can understand they
were annoying pest, but it wasa fun. Yeah. It was cool
to sit on the beach and hearthem howling behind you, screaming behind you,
especially those with the smaller testicle.I had wild parrots at my house
this morning. Oh you're one ofthose people over in the valley there the

(05:15):
wow what time? All morning?They were out of control, beautiful green
parrots with their red crowns. Forthose of you who were paying attention,
I actually have a new puffy,puffy pubby in the house. Still feel
a little drunk because I'd been thenight waiting for him to wake up.

(05:38):
Yeah, but my puppy's name isPeter. Peter the puppy. Well,
we don't say that, but wejust say Peter. Oh sorry, no,
we wouldn't say anything stupid like that, right, No, we just
say Peter, Peter the puppy Peter. So he's the nuppy Peter into our

(06:00):
face, Peter Puppy. Okay,but we were close, and I told
you we were close to naming himyour husband's name. Yeah, it was
neck and neck between Well, I'mgonna call Peter Craig. That is perfectly
fun. That is totally It couldbe his middle name, Peter Craig.
All right, Louisiana has done somethingwhich will immediately be shot down by the

(06:24):
Supreme Court. It's a symbolic,isn't it. It's just symbolic. Yes,
But we'll talk about the Ten Commandmentsissue in the state of Louisiana when
we come back. Thou shalt nottalk about commandments. I couldn't come up
with one of them, Amy King. I shall not kill? Oh yeah,

(06:45):
right, that's a shall not steal? Okay? Also good? Well,
I mean sometimes are there exceptions inthe commandments? Well, thou shalt
not kill. That's a good one. I agree with that one. But
what about the capital punishment? Right? Exactly? All right, we'll break

(07:05):
down the commandments. There we go, Ten Commandments. You're listening to Gary
and Shannon on demand from KFI AMsix forty. It's a baby moose.
I have not heard about the MooseMan in Alaska and two police officers rescued
a baby moose from what police describedas a sure demise. The baby moose
fell into a lake and got stuckin a narrow space between a floatplane and

(07:29):
a dock. Spencer Warren works fora tourism company Destination Alaska Adventure, arrived
to work about six thirty am toprepare a floatplane for the day's trip when
he heard what he thought was anodd sounding bird. He quickly spotted the
baby moose stuck between the floats ofthe plane and the dock floats. He

(07:49):
immediately thought, where's the mama.I know she's nearby, and then he
spots the mom worried mother moose aboutfour feet away with another calf. Now,
mother moose can be dangerously protective oftheir calves. Right a photographer was
killed by a mama moose protecting hercalf just a month ago. The baby
moose tries to get out of thelake but could not get its footing on

(08:13):
the top of the float with itshooves. Its mother was keeping Warren,
the rescuer, from getting too close. As the baby moose struggled. He
said, it's like an ice rinkfor the moose and its hooves. He
just kept slipping and slipping and couldnot get up. They called the police.
One officer eventually positioned his cruiser betweenthe mama moose and the floatplane,

(08:39):
which allowed the other officer and Warrento rescue the baby moose. The exhausted
baby moose splayed out on the boardwalkand he spluted until an officer helped the
baby moose stand. The baby moosewas reunited with its mother. She licked
the water off its body. That'swhat mother and moose do. Yes,

(09:05):
for a baby that's been stuck inthe water, That's exactly what they do.
Hey, gas, is there anynews about how this hurricane will affect
the Elon Musk launch site launches onthe Gulf Coast. I don't think so.
It's what county is that in.I think it's Carol Cameron County.

(09:30):
It's fine, Everything's fine. ElonMusk will be just fine. Was that
enough? I don't know what elsedid? Yeah, Louisiana has become the
first state to require that the TenCommandments be displayed in every public school classroom.
If you're sounding like that is aviolation of the separation of church and
state. You are correct, interestingargument on behalf of Republican Governor Jeff Landry,

(09:58):
who signed this into law yesterday,will require a poster size display of
the Ten Commandments, large easily readablefont in all public classrooms from kindergarten all
the way through state funded universities.And he said, did Jeff Landry,
if you want to respect the ruleof law, you've got to start from
the original law giver, which wasMoses, which I would argue he was

(10:18):
doing it on behalf of the Lordanyway, so you could go even further
back than that. He said itwas historical. It was a historic reason,
and that's not what the Bible islike. You can't you're actually not
helping your argument for faith when youcall it historic. We read the Bible

(10:39):
in high school, public school.I don't know if they still do that
very much anymore, but we readthe first three books of the Bible Old
Testament. The five would be thepentitook, but we read Genesis and Exodus
in Leviticus, which includes the TenCommandments, obviously, but because it was
an historical thing thing, not necessarilythat it was, but what it meant

(11:03):
to people through history, right,I mean, there are clearly historical things
that you can that you can thatthe Bible records that everybody else does also,
but but not in terms of itbeing a history book. That's not
why we studied it. So you'vegot the I am the Lord thy God,
or technically that is combined with thoushalt have no other gods before me?

(11:28):
Right, thou shalt not make untothe any graven image? What is
that? Thou shalt not take thename of the Lord go back? I
got I need to know what thatgrave of an image? What does that
mean? Idols? No golden calftom Brady. Tom Brady is also a

(11:48):
great Yeah, don't do that.Got it? Thou shalt not take the
name of the Lord thy God invain? Wait, okay, well,
I have a question for people thatare in cults that use the commandments.
Don't they have other gods? LikeCharles Manson, they don't use the commandments.
They don't use the commandments? Gotit? That's part of the whole

(12:09):
cult thing. Is you s chewnormal religion? Remember the Sabbath day,
keep it holy, honor Thy Fatherand Thy Mother. Thou shalt not murder,
which is different than Thou shalt notkill right. You can kill self
defense, you can kill. Punishment. Order is an unlawful taking of another
life. Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt

(12:33):
not be bare false witness against thyneighbor. What is that one not bare
false witness against them? Is thatlike a Rand Paul thing, don't beat
up your neighbor because of a lawnmower. Don't gossip. Uh well, it
means that, but it's also isif there is no distinct property line on
the lawn. Just be nice toyour neighbor, okay, Gods Rand Paul

(12:54):
is an example. Do not coverthy neighbor's house or they's wife, depending
on the apranlation. So to enjoyyour friend's home like I couldn't, I
shouldn't go to your home and goI really like it here. This is
a beautiful home. Be satisfied inwhat you have. I am the Lord
has provided you. I am.Okay, But that doesn't mean I can't

(13:16):
appreciate other people's homes. But youcould. But don't get caught up in
it to the point where it ruinsyour appreciation for your own stuff too.
Yeah, like I hate them becausethey have nicer stuff than me. Oh
that would do that. Yeah,you can appreciate it, Okay. I
like Amy King kind of walking methrough the Commandments. It's helping. State

(13:37):
funds will not be used to implementthis mandate. The posters would be paid
for through donations to me, Yeah, which to me means that's an acknowledgment
that there is a problem between statefunding of this kind of thing at a
state, sorry, a state demandingthis kind of thing, and it going
forward as a complete violation of theseparation of There have been a handful of

(14:01):
Republican red states that have talked aboutthe idea of government sponsored religious displays.
Louisiana is the first one to takethe ball across the goal line, but
it's really just symbolic. It's whatwe believe in in Louisiana and we want
everyone to know it, knowing fullwell that it's going to be struck down
in the courts. Thou shalt notbe late to another break. Gary and

(14:22):
Shannon will continue. You're listening toGary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM
six forty. A new Stanford graduate. I have a feel good story too
about someone kicking ass. Okay ina good way, very good way.
Yeah, I'll do it the nextsegment. Okay, yeah, but it's
a great you're gonna like it.It's no monkeys in Utah story. It's

(14:46):
no baby moose saved by and lickedby its mother. But but it is
a good story, and I thinkyou're gonna like it. I already have
provided you with a couple good,good, feel good stories with about the
baby moose and the flying monkeys.True Tropical stormer Village tried again Tropical storm
milk. Sorry, I got alittle job by Tropical Storm Alberto is losing

(15:07):
powers. It makes its way acrossMexico. It's caused some flooding, et
cetera in Texas. Good news inNew Mexico is that it's pouring rain on
some of their wildfires, but thatmeans also the thunderstorms could see some flash
flooding as a result of those.There is a Republican state lawmaker from Vermont
who has repeatedly apologized for picking onone of her Democratic colleagues. State Representative

(15:31):
Mary Morrissey publicly apologized to state RepresentativeJim Carroll. They're both from Bennington,
a town of about fifteen thousand inthe southwestern part of Vermont. Now Jim
Carroll said that the tote bag hehangs in the hallway at the State House
was soaked a couple of times aweek back in January and February, like

(15:54):
someone was pouring water into his totebag. Then after he was charged with
DUI in February in return from rehab, the bag was soaked every single day.
It turns out State Representative Mary Morrisseywas literally pouring water into his tote
bag in the hallway every single dayuntil she was caught on camera doing Wow,

(16:18):
hell, why yeah, what that? I don't care. Special Night
tonight ceremony honoring Willie Mays will takeplace before the MLB at rickwood Field game
tonight in Alabama. Of course,we lost him at the age of ninety
three. The Giants take on theCardinals at the oldest professional ballpark in the
US, rickwood Field, also whereMays began his career, and the Negro

(16:41):
League's game will be shown nationally onFox first pitch seven point fifteen pm Eastern,
so for four to fifteen hour time. Supreme Court today upheld attacks on
foreign income. This was a challengethat was backed by business and anti regulatory
interest declined their invitation to weigh onon the broader never enacted tax on wealthy

(17:03):
justices seven to two vote kind ofsplit ideologically left in place this provision from
a twenty seventeen tax law that couldgenerate three hundred and forty billion dollars.
Most of it comes from foreign subsidiariesof domestic corporations that take the money and
put it out there, they say, because they want to try to shield
it from US taxes. This wasthe case of Charles and Kathleen Moore of

(17:26):
Redmond, Washington. They challenged afifteen thousand dollars tax bill based on his
investment in an Indian company, arguingthat the company violates the sixteenth Amendment.
Now, the sixteenth Amendment allows thefederal government to impose an income tax on
Americans, and they argued in asworn statement that they never received any money

(17:48):
from the company before they were taxedon it. It was reinvested somewhere else.
They never saw it. But it'svery narrow. This ruling is very
narrow. They're very there's still alot of decisions that need to come out
of the Supreme Court. We've seena couple of them, the bump stocks
for guns, the abortion pills,jerry mandering agency funding, but we don't

(18:12):
have the biggest decisions now. It'snot unusual for the Supreme Court to keep
these biggest decisions towards the end oftheir calendar, which includes next week.
So there is a chance that wesee the argument over immunity for former presidents
go all the way into next week. And there are a bunch of legal
scholars who say the Supreme Court didn'tactually have to bring this case. It

(18:36):
didn't have to hear this case.They could have just left it in the
lower courts, which to this pointhad shown that. In early February,
for example, the DC Circuit Courtupheld the decision and rejected Trump's claim of
absolute immunity. They could have leftit there and said that's a good decision.
We'll just leave it at that.It doesn't it doesn't rise to the
level of the Supreme Court getting involved. But it does. I mean this

(18:57):
court said it does. Now thereare discussions of why are they waiting so
long? This is a incredibly importantdecision that should not wait until the end
of their calendar because of the importanceand the timeline of the current election cycle
that we're in. I just wantto make it clear with this today's ruling

(19:18):
on the taxes, it is,as Clarence Thomas wrote and dissent, that
this couple paid taxes on an investmentthat they never saw money from and that
that wasn't fair. Yes, butthey're also taking into account all the tax
breaks that this couple got in movingtheir money overseas. So it's not like

(19:41):
this specific type of investment, it'sthe investment overall. They're not penalized for
making the investment exactly. Okay,our good story and the craziest thing you've
ever done on spring break, Ohthis tattoo. Gary and Shannon will continue
Gary and Shannon on demand from KFIAM six forty. Tropical Storm Alberto turned

(20:06):
into a tropical depression heavy rain toMexico. It's been dumping rain on the
Texas coast, made landfall early thismorning on the northeast coast of Mexico.
At least three people have been killedby this one already. Maximum sustained winds
are near thirty five miles per hourand up to a four four feet of
storm surge possible along the Texas coastfrom Mexico to Louisiana. The TSA says,

(20:32):
of the ten busiest travel days theyhave ever recorded, seven of the
last sorry, seven of the topten have happened within the last month.
Yeah, that's what happened during MemorialDay. May seventeenth, nineteenth, twenty
third, twenty fourth are on thelist as of as are June ninth,
thirteenth, and fourteenth. They saidthe top travel day in the history of

(20:53):
the TSA was Friday, May twentyfourth, two point ninety five to one
million travelers screened in America. Yeah, I think Thursday was number two on
the list because I remember reading itthat on that Friday or Saturday. And
Triple A is saying that seventy onemillion people will head fifty miles or more
from home over the fourth of Julytravel period, which they're actually extending this

(21:17):
this year to the entire July fourthweek. Okay, ready for my story.
Yeah, So, a twenty yearold college student flipping through his social
media on his phone in his family'sbusiness near Texas in Texas, near Houston,
and he heard a scream unsettling Isit a baby moosepe His dad's fifty

(21:38):
nine year old dad immediately jumps intoaction, runs next door and finds he

twenty year old helped, you know, grab the guy's shirt. Dad disables
the guy basically and starts kicking himin the chest in the head to knock
him out, and even afterwards,Dad had lessons for the sun. Hey,
if you ever find yourself in thissituation, you the old Oh that's
cool. Yeah, that's important tohave. That would be nice to have

(23:11):
his neighbors like that, a familyof taekwondo grand masters or black belts.
We have this theory about a coupleneighbors on our street. From time to
time, our neighbors Tim and Martywill have everybody over, sit out in
the backyard, you know, barbecuewhatever, cook and hang out and talk

(23:32):
and like, these two new peoplekind of showed up and we don't really
know much about them, and wethink that they're like secret agents. They
could be, and they're females.And then adds that adds a layer that's
an Amazon Prime show. But ifstuff goes down, I'm going to go
to those ladies' homes and bang onthe door and be like, I know
your federal agents, help come beatpeople up for me. What's the craziest

(23:56):
thing you've ever done on spring break? Would you say? Tattoo? Yeah?
I think it's in Mexico by aguy named Sergio whose arms I pass
out in because of the lack ofwater. No, I wasn't drunk.
Was sound like it, it wasI needed a Sergio said, get a

(24:18):
Coca cola. Coca Cola. Iguess my blood sugar had just plummeted or
something. But nothing weird. Youget all nervous and then the needle hits,
and then it happens to me whenI get my blood drawn. There's
a YouTube guy who did an interviewwith a bunch of people down in Cabo
for spring break and ask them,what's the craziest thing you've ever done on
spring break? And outside of thewhole I hooked up with my friend's boyfriend

(24:41):
or something like that, which wasthe majority of the answers. Really,
yeah, this was what is thecraziest thing your friend has ever done on
spring break? Okay, here's theanswer. Eight pounds of cocaine flew in
and we stuffed in our bikinis andtook it and sold it. We're like
almost millionaires. Now, wow,these two girls that is capitalist blame there

(25:02):
from Colorado and the previous spring break. They were in Miami and said that
the cocaine floated in like it wasseaweed, basically, and they just took
it, Yeah, and sold itback home and ended up they fly home
without much blow. You can arguethat it's a BS story. Oh,
I like to think it's true.I like to think it's true as well.

(25:23):
So that's actually what we wanted toask people today for our talkback was
what is the craziest thing you've everdone on spring break? And are we
asking for one hundred percent honesty orcan people get creative like the girls did?
Well, we'll just take them fortheir words. I'm hoping we'll be
able to tell the difference between thetwo. Okay, that'll be fun.

(25:44):
We'll say to true or false.Yeah, we'll be able to smell the
BS. Okay, good morning bymy two favorite people on the airwaves.
