Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Have you heard about the horny,
lonely dolphin attacking beach goers in Japan? By the end
of the day, you will, oh great, I'll bring that
story to you. I will serve it up.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
There's a horny dolphin shaped hole in my heart right now.
I can't wait to fill it.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Good, good, good good. So there's something going on with
the algorithm on my phone ever since we got back
from the DNC. Yes that I've noticed. Didn't know we
were there, didn't know we were around a bunch of
excited Democrats because now on my news, my Apple news
page that I go to first thing in the morning,
(00:43):
it's super Democrat focused. It's like, Okay, for instance, there
were three stories side by side today. I'll read you
the headlines. Donald Trump begrudgingly agrees to ABC News debate
in Bonker's rant. Next headline, Trump staffers spend thousands on
(01:04):
pointless ads just to keep him happy. Next one, So
is Donald Trump Junior cursed or what I mean? It's
just all negative for Republicans and it's totally pro Democrat.
It's it's weird. They took control of my phone.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
They had to.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I needed to go back. I don't need this divisive
hate speech on my phone.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
What do you wanted to go back to?
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Just?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I mean, the NFL's dark this week. What do you
what do you expect?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Well, that's true, that is true.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
There's not going to be a lot of I mean
after yesterday, there's not going to be a lot of
news for the next couple of days.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, it's just it's completely biased now, these headlines.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
It's like, I actually, that's a funny thing. You say that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
My wife bought me a book when we're in Texas
at some antique store, and it was this beautiful old
book picture book. No, it was a beautiful old book
about newspaper Well it said Newsroom Policies and Questions or
something like that. It was a textbook for a college
journalism course, and it was all about how you know,
(02:03):
the questions you should ask if you're going to get
into a job in journalism. And obviously the biggest venue
for that would have been newspapers at the time, radio
was just beginning.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Because it was late thirties.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I think this book was published, and one of the
questions was about how do you make sure that the
headlines that you write pertain to the story and don't
show your bias as a headline writer. Because they're talking
about all these different you know that people write the
articles are not the ones who necessarily write the headline.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
What a lost art.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
It's kind of fascinating to read through, first of all,
because the language, the way this book is written is
it'll play so much more eloquent than what we have
these days.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Now we are a dumb people. We are down to
our brain stems and we're just lizard lizarding around.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
A couple international stories.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Israeli forces launched a large operation in the occupied West
Bank overnight. They've killed at least ten hamas militants. They
sealed off the city of Janine. This ongoing operation they
set among the largest in the West Bank in several months.
French prosecutors have also freed telegram CEO Pavel Durov from
police custody after four days of questioning over allegations that
(03:12):
the messaging app that he's in charge of is being
used for illegal activities and he's not doing enough to
quell them.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Big story that happened yesterday afternoon. Federal grand jury in
d c has re indicted Donald Trump on four felony
charges related to his efforts to subvert the twenty twenty
presidential elections. Thirty six page indictment pared down from a
believe forty five by Jack Smith, an attempt by prosecutors
(03:40):
to streamline the case in the wake of the Supreme
Court's ruling last month that concluded presidents have sweeping immunity
from prosecution for their official conduct.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, and that official conduct is, of course the thing
that he's trying to trim off of the original indictment.
For example, this new superseding indictment underscores that Mike Pence
was not only the vice president, which a communication between
a president and vice president would obviously be an official duty,
(04:09):
but Pence was also the running mate, which would not
be an official duty. As president, you don't whatever campaign
issues that you're doing are not official duties of the president.
So when Trump was accused of pressuring Pence to block
the certification, that would have been a private act, at
(04:30):
least according to Jack Smith.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Will this case go to trial before the November election,
Absolutely not. It could in fact, drag the case out
further the new indictment, because defense attorneys are going to delay, delay, delay,
now that these are new criminal allegations.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Essentially there is a deadline.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
The judge in the case, Judge Tanya Chutcan, has proposed
a Friday deadline for both sides to come to her
with some way to proceed with this case.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Bill they'll meet on Friday to delay it, and then
they'll meet the next date and they'll delay it further,
and that will go on for months.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
The former president, of course, called the new indictment ridiculous,
as you can expect, and he said, for them to
do this immediately after our Supreme Court victory on immunity
and more is shocking. One of the other things that happens,
or one of the other things I should say that
this indictment superseding indictment points.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Out, is.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It takes out this long list of top government officials
who apparently were telling Trump that his claims of election
fraud and anomalies were false, including intelligence officials, Justice Department officials.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And of course they can go out, they can go
out and charge them later, they can indict them later,
especially if he loses.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So This is a paperwork issue, but it is a
significant issue. And again it doesn't necessarily change the timeline.
If anything, it makes it pushes it farther out after
the election.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Well, we have an interview. It's a buddy system interview. However,
Kamala Harris will sit down with CNN, but she's bringing
along Tim Walls. This is like going to the bathroom
at a bar. You always bring a friend.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Always bring a wingman.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yep. Why, Well, women need to talk. They need to
talk about what's happening in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
They need a break down of conversation.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Needs some of your lifelong friends.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
In the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, I don't think I've ever met a friend. It's
a place of women empowerment and happiness and lifting each
other up. That's a mysterious place, it really is.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Do you remember the little activity center used to be
between Whitney Hall and Shasta Hall.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, that's where this new dorm is.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh interesting.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, and on the campus maps they still have enlisted
at Sutter Hall.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, that's all okay, So again, something we've probably right.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Nobody cares. Nobody knows the campus, right, we both have
people going there. Okay, so per usual. I got to
tell you about the horny lonely dolphin. I also have
to tell you about the record one twenty five pound
prehistoric fish six plus feet long. Found it in Michigan.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Man.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I like catching fish, but I feel like there's a
certain sometimes it's too big.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Well, I would just say, because your boat usually is
a certain size, you're not You're not on a yacht,
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Nobody, nobody has.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Hey, what's up? Gary? And Shannon?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
You guys make a long time listener here.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
And Shannon, I'm just trying to figure out which of
those article headlines you're saying are interaccurate.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That Donald Trump doesn't go on bonkers rants.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Or that he doesn't that's not the point.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Get into arguments with his staffers, that's not what It's
not that they were acts. Anyways.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
The point was to your book that your wife got you.
The point is, I like my headlines completely unbiased. I
want to make my own determination. If I read one
of Donald Trump's truth social posts and I and you
say bombers, that's how I want to ingest my news.
I don't want anyone throwing their opinion down my headspace.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Good catch.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, bottom of the hour, we're going to talk more
about the Cory Richman's trial.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
This is the woman accused of killing her husband with fentanel.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, this is a good one. This is the mom
who wrote a book, a children's book about grief after
she killed her husband. That is an advanced move, that's psychopathic.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Shut up the situation and then oh you capitalize on
using your children also a little bit later and we'll take.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Some talkback messages on this.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
There's obviously been this push, and we've been in favor
of it to ban cell phones in schools. There's an
opinion piece out of the Telegraph. What about banning phones
and the workplace? And do you work in a place
where you think that would be a good idea?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Like I think it would be great, it would be
I'm gonna ban my phone right now.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Do you want to give it to me so that
I because you can't put it in your in your
purse because you'll feel see.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
My password and you're gonna do something weird.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I don't think I do know your past?
Speaker 6 (09:20):
You do?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's the same password.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Bill, you haven't changed it? What was that?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I forget it?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
What a Facebook post up?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
This would have been eight years ago, something like I
love the people that I work.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, it was so obnoxious. I left my phone at
a restaurant or something where we're at Disneyland, I think Disneyland,
and I left my phone on the table and I
come back and it's this Facebook post that's like, I
just sometimes I just really feel like I'm overwhelmed by
how lucky I am that I get to work with
Gary Hoffman. He's so smart and just what a great person.
(09:52):
And it was awful.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Made you feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
This isn't even a tough interview.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
It's clear that her own team and her own party
thinks she needs a babysitter, and that's why they're putting
her vice presidential nominee on the stage with her.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckaby said, what's the other take?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Like, how are the Democrats spinning this? Because what is
the other take other than she needs backup? You know
it's okay, Like I get it, I also need backup?
Do I want to sit in here by myself for
four hours when you're not here? No, I don't. I
realize that I need somebody else.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, but you're also not interviewing for the most important.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Job exactly on God's are exactly and she is, and
I think that's listen.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I have I.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Appreciate the idea that she wants to be part of
a team and that she wants to have and surround
herself with people that are going to help her get
through the toughest job she's ever gonna face. But there
are times when she has to make the decision by herself,
even if I mean to use her own terminology, even
(11:00):
if Tim Walls is the last person in the room
with her, when she's coming up with a difficult decision
or coming up with an answer to a difficult problem,
she's the one.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
She's ultimately the one.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
So her interviews, by the way, have this is a
highly anticipated interview because of her past with interviews and
words salid and whether it's a lack of preparation or
uncomfortability or not going to speaking. I mean, you can
be a brilliant person and be a horrible speaker.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, I know that in an interview.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I know that, but but you know, we have been
freaking very nice by not replaying past interviews while we've waited.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
For this one, right, Well, I mean you got to leave.
You got to leave the space open for her to fill.
You got you have to give her an opportunity. Whatever
your opinion is, you have to give her an opportunity.
I think, to show that she can do this despite
the criticism, which is very valid that since she was
basically anointed the Democratic nominee before it became official. I mean,
(12:01):
we're talking about thirty seven days whatever it is, the
time frame between when she got the mantle of being
the Democratic nominee for president and the sit down for
this interview Tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Is that tomorrow night? Yeah, tomorrow night, six o'clock CNN.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
She and Dana, She and Tim Wallas are going to
sit in front of Dana Bash.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
You can't ignore what I can't.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
What I don't understand is you can't push back against
the criticism. There's no argument as to why she shouldn't
be doing an interview.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Twenty twenty one, NBC News, she sat down with Lester Holt.
This may be why she shouldn't be doing an interview.
She was asked why she had not visited the border
since taking office. As Vice president, she had been tasked
by Biden to be the borders are or what have you?
She said back to Lester Holt, well, I have also
(12:52):
not been to Europe. Now, what the hell does that
have to do with anything with the border. That's our country,
That's where the focus should be. We don't care that
you haven't been to Europe. But she kind of bumbled
her way through that from what I remember.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Scott Jennings is a Republican conservative writer. He's on CNN
and he gave his opinion about what this means for
the Harris campaign.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I think it's I have great confidence in Dana and
CNN to do this. I think it's incredibly weak, weak
sauce to show up with your runa. They saw us
the fact that they don't have enough confidence in her
to let her sit herself the actual top of the
ticket and do a single interview. In fact, I think
the handwringing and the gyrations over this over the last
month show a troubling lack of confidence in her political ability,
(13:44):
which also makes you wonder, as a voter, well, what
kind of president would you be if this kind of
a small time decision? Can we do an interview or not.
What does that look like for your decision making process?
Speaker 7 (13:54):
So on.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
So yes, I think Republicans are going to think it's
pretty weak to show up with effectively someone to take
up half the time.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Okay, to your point of she's going to have a
team around her if she's elected president making the decisions. Right,
she's a face of the country, the face of the office.
But she's not going to make all the decisions. That's
just not how it works. You have advisors for this
very exactly. I was talking to someone over the weekend
who happens to have an evangelical voter, and I was saying, what, so,
(14:26):
how do you guys feel about Trump? Like I can't
wrap my head around the evangelicals for Trump? And he
said to me, you know, when I have a broken
toilet at home, I call the plumber and I want
the plumber to come and do his job. I don't
care what he has going on in his personal life.
I don't care what he has done. I don't care
if he's a horrible human. I want him to fix
(14:48):
my toilet. He said, that's what we think about the office.
We want somebody in there that's going to reel in
taxes and things like that, and that's what we're interested
in in the team around them, that it's the policy.
You're not voting for a person and their personality and
the way they've lived their life. You're voting for what
(15:08):
they're going to do with the policy because it could
benefit you, right, because it could fix your toilet.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
And I thought, wow, that I've never looked at it
like that before.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, he's a flawed person. I mean, there's no there's
no candidate. Well, everyone is, We're all flawed people. His
happened to be pretty extravagant flaws that I'm sure people, uh,
some people don't want to overlook. But there is no
there's no expectation probably that that guy is a direct
reflection of your values, right or woman. But it's it's
(15:41):
somebody who is going to be more in line with
your values than the.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Other, especially when it comes to dollars and cents. Yeah,
follow the money. If you want to give away money,
vote for Kamala. You want to keep the money, vote
for Trump.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
If yeah, if it's boiled down like that, it's it's
hard to ignore, all right, True crime Whens Day When
we come back, an update on the Kory Richards case.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I love it. Did you hear about the kid who
broke the vase? No, I got that story coming up. Excellent.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
App campaign trail Today.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Govitor Tim Wall's little ing speech at a gathering in
the International Association of Firefighters this morning, but he's going
to be making his way to Georgia. He and Vice
President Harris are going to do a bus tour through
some rural parts. In fact, that's where they're going to
be tomorrow when they sit down for that interview on
CNN with Dana Bash.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
I want Walts up there because I don't know him.
I don't know anything about him. I don't know any
of them. I want them both up there because I
want to get to know both of them. I want
to see how they interact. I want to see if
they play off each other well. I want to see
I want to see their chemistry, if there is any
kind of chemistry. I want to see how do they interact.
(17:00):
I want to get to know both of them. There's
nothing wrong with any is this?
Speaker 7 (17:03):
You guys make a big deal over nothing good point.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I do want to see how they interact. That will
be fascinating to see, and it'll also be fascinating to
see if he jumps in, you know, if she's answering question,
if she struggles at all, if he jumps in, you
don't think so.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I do not think. I think that he his personality
may prompt him to do that, but I think he's
been warned against it.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I don't know, because that's I think that's the whole.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Way back to the whole debate thing.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
The reason that the reason that she wanted open mics
was so that Trump would interrupt her and she could go,
excuse me, I'm speaking.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I don't think so. I think she wants Trump to
interrupt her so she doesn't have to speak as much.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I mean, it is possible.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But U and I, yes, we need to know that
our president and vice president get along.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
That's fine, and I understand that.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
But but it almost to me that sounds almost like
you're relying too much on Uh, how is the table
set versus what is in what's in the dinner? Like,
what's the candle situation on the table versus what's the
food that I'm going to have nourish my body.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I don't need them to get along. In fact, I
think i'd prefer a president and a vice president to
have divergent ideas.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Abraham Lincoln famously chose people who he knew.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Was going to disagree with me, and Abraham Lincoln very
very similar.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Saying if you want to keep your money, vote for
If you want spend money, vote for Kamala. If you
want to keep your money, vote for Trump. Is so
black and white. If you want to go black and white,
how about say, if you're selfish, vote for Trump, and
if you care about other people, vote for Kamala.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
We're going to be something black and white like that.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
But yeah, I mean, yes, I say it.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It's the same thing divergent.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
But you can be.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
You can be selfless to people, you can be generous
to people, regardless of who is in the White House.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Here's my problem with that take on it is I
have a problem trusting the government to spend my money.
It's not that I don't want to spend money on
people who need it, it's that I want to make
that decision. I don't like the way that they money
launder our tax dollars. Because that's absolutely what they do.
(19:22):
They'll tell you what's going one place, they send it
another place, and they're all self serving. So I guess
I just have some more cynical viewpoint. But I think
that that's the same thing. I think we're saying the
same thing now.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I mean, as an example, this California State Senate yesterday
approved overwhelmingly that plan to offer up to one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars to illegal immigrants to put us
down payments on homes for a program that ran out
of money eleven days after it opened. I mean, they're
trying to inject more money into this thing. We have
a sixty billion dollar budget deficit in the state of California,
(19:54):
and that's where they're putting their money. That's that generosity
for the sake of generosity. It's not generosity. It's you
trying to buy some favor with some group or some people.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
That's not it. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I'm sorry here, you guys.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Sidetrack.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Okay, Corey Richards, all right, So this is a woman,
Corey Richards. She's thirty four, she's a mother of three,
and she's accused of poisoning her thirty nine year old
husband Eric with a lethal dose of fentanyl at their
home near Park City in March of twenty twenty two,
and she poisoned him by making him a deadly.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Sandwich jam and fentanyl.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Sandwich means to collect millions in life insurance funds, flip
a house and be with her lover, the handyman. This
thing's got everything. Is the same plumber that fixed your
friend's toilet. No, I mean maybe I don't know. There
was a criminal defense attorney who went on Fox News
(20:54):
and so there are two reasons why people lose their
mind and kill people. One of them is loved, the
other's mind, and she had both of those going on.
They said that she regularly sent text messages to the handyman, Robert,
who worked at properties she intended to sell. Apparently there
was a prenup in play, and if the husband was
(21:16):
dead it would make things go a lot easier. Or
what my wife is doing right now? Does she have
a life insurance policy on you? Because that's that's one
of the first things that they do before they kill you. Well,
they take out a life insurance I took out a
life insurance policy. And she knows that, she knows she
(21:36):
does know.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
That, well, why am I going to the body knows
the prosecution.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
According to the two day preliminary hearing, the judge said
prosecution had shown probable cause for these charges of aggravated
murder and distribution of a controlled substance. One of the
other aspects of this case is they they were pretty
clear to say that this was illicit fentanyl as opposed
to medical grade fentanyls, So she's buying the dirty stuff.
(22:07):
One of the housekeepers claims to have sold fentanyl to
Corey on three different occasions through a series of text messages.
The housekeeper was later arrested, saying the drugs and other
illegal items were found at her home, and the detective
said the housekeeper told her that Corey or that she
had sold Corey up to ninety blue green fentanyl pills,
(22:31):
and that the housekeeper's supplier later confirmed the detectives that
he had sold her the fentanyl that she requested, but
they didn't find any fentanyl pills in Corey's home.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
In the months before she was arrested. In May of
last year, she self published the children's book Are You
with Me? It's about a father with angel wings watching
over his young son after passing away. They say the
book could play a key role for prosecutors in framing
the death as a calculated killing with an elaborate cover
up attempt. A defense attorney that talked to Fox and
(23:02):
talk about hiding in plain sight, talk about trying to
cover up such an egregious crime as she has three children. Yeah,
and then to try to profit and write this book
and act like a victim when you're actually the perpetrator.
That's basic instinct, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Well, it's also movie, but it almost seems that's too
far out. The guy refers to it, is that's kind
of Hollywood stuff. Yeah, that's even even Hollywood's like the book.
That's too much basic instinct.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
We all saw the movie. We all saw Sharon Stone.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
We have fully too much thrown our support behind banning
cell phones in schools.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Also, yes, and now is workplace? Is it possible that
we could ban it in the workplace? Yeah, that would
be something in some places.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Also, I'm going to pay off that dolphin story, the
dolphin story, the lonely horny dolphin that has been attacking
people in Japan. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon Demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. A couple stories that
we're following. A ransomware gang claims that it is hacked
into the US Marshals Service and is threatening to release
information that would include some top secret documents. In a
recent post to its site on the dark Web, cybercrime
group known as Hunters International added the US Marshall Service
(24:27):
to its list of alleged victims, alongside a countdown timer
that's set for roughly two days.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Are you ready for the lonely horny dolphin?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Sure? Okay?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
A lonely dolphin has been blamed for a spike in
attacks on beach goers in Japan. Experts warn the dolphin
may be lashing out due to sexual frustration. More than
forty five people have been injured in dolphin attacks. This
is about two hundred miles west of Tokyo. And they
think it's the same dolphin, the same male Indo specific
(25:00):
bottle nose dolphin that has attacked all of these people.
Why because he lost his pod. He lost his pod,
he lost the other dolphin. Tail dolphins when they are
mating can be very wild, so Dolphins lunging on top
of a human are usually a sexual act, and this
(25:21):
dolphin doesn't have anyone to mate with, so he's finding people.
The unfortunate part is is he's not just lying on
top of them and brushing up against them. He's taking
bites out of them, which is a problem.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Of the other part is fine, the general.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Did you rather dolphin, dolphin rub up against you or
bite or take a chunk out of you? I would
rather have the dolphin rub up against me than bite me.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Give it.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I think you're mistaking the I think they're writing it
in a very soft, playful way.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Rubbing up against.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
You you think it is.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I think it's an assault.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Dolphins that then take a bite chew away. There was
an opinion piece that came out of the Daily Telegraph
out of London that I thought was interesting. We have
talked and repeatedly called for cell phone bands in schools
elementary through high school. Get them out of there. It's
(26:20):
ruining our kids' attention spans. We are giving them mental
problems that we cannot control. And it's just an awful,
awful tool that kids feel like they need.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
They become addicted to it.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, So heroin.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
So there's a question also about workplace productivity that has
declined in the last several years, and the decline coincides
perfectly with the rise of smartphones and social media. Similar
to the book The Anxious Generation by doctor Jonathan hat
which explains that these incredible instances and rise in percentages
(26:57):
of suicides, mental illness report sorts, education scores going down
coincides perfectly with smartphones and social media. So the question
is should smartphones be banned in workplaces as well.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
According to data gathered by Rescue Time, the average worker
was spending one point five hours of their working week
on their smartphone. That was in twenty twelve, Okay, one
point five hours. By twenty twenty, our addiction had grown
and we were spending five hours per week on our phones.
(27:38):
That's fourteen percent of our working week. That's fourteen percent
of loss productivity if you're a productive member of the working.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Force, which is great. I saw so on Sunday. I
still get Sunday mornings. I think it is I still
get my screen time notification from it because I've not
never turned it off. Mine was really good the last
week in Chicago. Yeah, mine was at seven hours a day.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Part of that was because I was like watching things
on my phone and we'd have it on while we
were doing the show. So it's yeah, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Know mine was that, you know, when I'm thinking of that,
it was on my iPad. I wasn't watching television. I
watched a lot of television in my real life, and
when we were there, there was no time to watch television,
so I barely watched anything. That's what That's what I
was impressed with, not my phone screen time.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
They say.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
The problem of increasingly poor performance at work isn't just
that employees are on their smartphones during work time. It's
the broader impact on their focus on their efficiency that
is the most damaging, because we have become so addicted
to our smartphones that merely having it in the same
room or even the same area of the office or
(28:50):
the house, whatever, hugely distracts us.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
I realized this, and I hate it.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
About myself that that you you'll catch yourself reacting to
something and go, wait, why did I Wait a minute,
why did I do that?
Speaker 3 (29:02):
My wife and I have our phones.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
If we're watching TV or something like that, our phones
are usually over in the other side of the room,
or they're on a little table. But if it's if
it's just sitting on the table, like the hard surface
of the table and not a napkin or something like that,
you'll hear it go boom and we'll both like yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Jump up and look over the couch. Was that mine?
Was that yours? Is something?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
That's why I keep it on silent because I found
when I had it pinging. If I have it pinging
for whatever reason, I find that I anticipate the ping
and that makes me not anxious. I would say anxious,
But but you not relax, not relax like I'm on
the drug. Right. Yeah, we are so addicted to constant distractions.
(29:45):
It's so helpful just to like sit in silence without
any stimulation for at least part of the day every day.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
So I'd be interested.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I mean, if you work in a place that has
band cell phones, whether it's for safety reasons or the
anxiety and focus reasons, whatever it is, let us know.
You can leave us a message on the talkback feature
on the iHeart app. Just hit that little button when
you're on the app, a little microphone button, and it
leaves us a message. Or if you think it should
be outlawed. Cell phone's outlawed in in specific places of work.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Big fish and broken vases.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Oh and the dentist. Oh, something happened at the dentist yesterday.
In my entire career of dentistry, they touch you. Never
once has this happened before. That's how that happens.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Waits Oh right, yeah, that's pretty common, right yeah, I
mean you walk around with that.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
How could you not?
Speaker 1 (30:39):
That's next Doug, Gary Shandon.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Have you heard about the horny,
lonely dolphin attacking beach goers in Japan? By the end
of the day, you will, oh great, I'll bring that
story to you. I will serve it up.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
There's a horny dolphin shaped hole in my heart right now.
I can't wait to fill it.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Good, good, good good. So there's something going on with
the algorithm on my phone ever since we got back
from the DNC. Yes that I've noticed. Didn't know we
were there, didn't know we were around a bunch of
excited Democrats because now on my news, my Apple news
page that I go to first thing in the morning,
(00:43):
it's super Democrat focused. It's like, Okay, for instance, there
were three stories side by side today. I'll read you
the headlines. Donald Trump begrudgingly agrees to ABC News debate
in Bonker's rant. Next headline, Trump staffers spend thousands on
(01:04):
pointless ads just to keep him happy. Next one, So
is Donald Trump Junior cursed or what I mean? It's
just all negative for Republicans and it's totally pro Democrat.
It's it's weird. They took control of my phone.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
They had to.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I needed to go back. I don't need this divisive
hate speech on my phone.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
What do you wanted to go back to?
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Just?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I mean, the NFL's dark this week. What do you
what do you expect?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Well, that's true, that is true.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
There's not going to be a lot of I mean
after yesterday, there's not going to be a lot of
news for the next couple of days.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, it's just it's completely biased now, these headlines.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
It's like, I actually, that's a funny thing. You say that.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
My wife bought me a book when we're in Texas
at some antique store, and it was this beautiful old
book picture book. No, it was a beautiful old book
about newspaper Well it said Newsroom Policies and Questions or
something like that. It was a textbook for a college
journalism course, and it was all about how you know,
(02:03):
the questions you should ask if you're going to get
into a job in journalism. And obviously the biggest venue
for that would have been newspapers at the time, radio
was just beginning.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Because it was late thirties.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I think this book was published, and one of the
questions was about how do you make sure that the
headlines that you write pertain to the story and don't
show your bias as a headline writer. Because they're talking
about all these different you know that people write the
articles are not the ones who necessarily write the headline.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
What a lost art.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
It's kind of fascinating to read through, first of all,
because the language, the way this book is written is
it'll play so much more eloquent than what we have
these days.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Now we are a dumb people. We are down to
our brain stems and we're just lizard lizarding around.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
A couple international stories.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Israeli forces launched a large operation in the occupied West
Bank overnight. They've killed at least ten hamas militants. They
sealed off the city of Janine. This ongoing operation they
set among the largest in the West Bank in several months.
French prosecutors have also freed telegram CEO Pavel Durov from
police custody after four days of questioning over allegations that
(03:12):
the messaging app that he's in charge of is being
used for illegal activities and he's not doing enough to
quell them.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Big story that happened yesterday afternoon. Federal grand jury in
d c has re indicted Donald Trump on four felony
charges related to his efforts to subvert the twenty twenty
presidential elections. Thirty six page indictment pared down from a
believe forty five by Jack Smith, an attempt by prosecutors
(03:40):
to streamline the case in the wake of the Supreme
Court's ruling last month that concluded presidents have sweeping immunity
from prosecution for their official conduct.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, and that official conduct is, of course the thing
that he's trying to trim off of the original indictment.
For example, this new superseding indictment underscores that Mike Pence
was not only the vice president, which a communication between
a president and vice president would obviously be an official duty,
(04:09):
but Pence was also the running mate, which would not
be an official duty. As president, you don't whatever campaign
issues that you're doing are not official duties of the president.
So when Trump was accused of pressuring Pence to block
the certification, that would have been a private act, at
(04:30):
least according to Jack Smith.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Will this case go to trial before the November election,
Absolutely not. It could in fact, drag the case out
further the new indictment, because defense attorneys are going to delay, delay, delay,
now that these are new criminal allegations.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Essentially there is a deadline.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
The judge in the case, Judge Tanya Chutcan, has proposed
a Friday deadline for both sides to come to her
with some way to proceed with this case.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Bill they'll meet on Friday to delay it, and then
they'll meet the next date and they'll delay it further,
and that will go on for months.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
The former president, of course, called the new indictment ridiculous,
as you can expect, and he said, for them to
do this immediately after our Supreme Court victory on immunity
and more is shocking. One of the other things that happens,
or one of the other things I should say that
this indictment superseding indictment points.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Out, is.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It takes out this long list of top government officials
who apparently were telling Trump that his claims of election
fraud and anomalies were false, including intelligence officials, Justice Department officials.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And of course they can go out, they can go
out and charge them later, they can indict them later,
especially if he loses.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So This is a paperwork issue, but it is a
significant issue. And again it doesn't necessarily change the timeline.
If anything, it makes it pushes it farther out after
the election.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Well, we have an interview. It's a buddy system interview. However,
Kamala Harris will sit down with CNN, but she's bringing
along Tim Walls. This is like going to the bathroom
at a bar. You always bring a friend.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Always bring a wingman.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yep. Why, Well, women need to talk. They need to
talk about what's happening in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
They need a break down of conversation.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Needs some of your lifelong friends.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
In the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, I don't think I've ever met a friend. It's
a place of women empowerment and happiness and lifting each
other up. That's a mysterious place, it really is.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Do you remember the little activity center used to be
between Whitney Hall and Shasta Hall.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, that's where this new dorm is.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh interesting.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, and on the campus maps they still have enlisted
at Sutter Hall.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, that's all okay, So again, something we've probably right.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Nobody cares. Nobody knows the campus, right, we both have
people going there. Okay, so per usual. I got to
tell you about the horny lonely dolphin. I also have
to tell you about the record one twenty five pound
prehistoric fish six plus feet long. Found it in Michigan.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Man.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I like catching fish, but I feel like there's a
certain sometimes it's too big.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Well, I would just say, because your boat usually is
a certain size, you're not You're not on a yacht,
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Nobody, nobody has.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Hey, what's up? Gary? And Shannon?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
You guys make a long time listener here.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
And Shannon, I'm just trying to figure out which of
those article headlines you're saying are interaccurate.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That Donald Trump doesn't go on bonkers rants.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Or that he doesn't that's not the point.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Get into arguments with his staffers, that's not what It's
not that they were acts. Anyways.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
The point was to your book that your wife got you.
The point is, I like my headlines completely unbiased. I
want to make my own determination. If I read one
of Donald Trump's truth social posts and I and you
say bombers, that's how I want to ingest my news.
I don't want anyone throwing their opinion down my headspace.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Good catch.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, bottom of the hour, we're going to talk more
about the Cory Richman's trial.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
This is the woman accused of killing her husband with fentanel.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, this is a good one. This is the mom
who wrote a book, a children's book about grief after
she killed her husband. That is an advanced move, that's psychopathic.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Shut up the situation and then oh you capitalize on
using your children also a little bit later and we'll take.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Some talkback messages on this.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
There's obviously been this push, and we've been in favor
of it to ban cell phones in schools. There's an
opinion piece out of the Telegraph. What about banning phones
and the workplace? And do you work in a place
where you think that would be a good idea?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Like I think it would be great, it would be
I'm gonna ban my phone right now.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Do you want to give it to me so that
I because you can't put it in your in your
purse because you'll feel see.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
My password and you're gonna do something weird.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I don't think I do know your past?
Speaker 6 (09:20):
You do?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's the same password.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Bill, you haven't changed it? What was that?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I forget it?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
What a Facebook post up?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
This would have been eight years ago, something like I
love the people that I work.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, it was so obnoxious. I left my phone at
a restaurant or something where we're at Disneyland, I think Disneyland,
and I left my phone on the table and I
come back and it's this Facebook post that's like, I
just sometimes I just really feel like I'm overwhelmed by
how lucky I am that I get to work with
Gary Hoffman. He's so smart and just what a great person.
(09:52):
And it was awful.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Made you feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
This isn't even a tough interview.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
It's clear that her own team and her own party
thinks she needs a babysitter, and that's why they're putting
her vice presidential nominee on the stage with her.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckaby said, what's the other take?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Like, how are the Democrats spinning this? Because what is
the other take other than she needs backup? You know
it's okay, Like I get it, I also need backup?
Do I want to sit in here by myself for
four hours when you're not here? No, I don't. I
realize that I need somebody else.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, but you're also not interviewing for the most important.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Job exactly on God's are exactly and she is, and
I think that's listen.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I have I.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Appreciate the idea that she wants to be part of
a team and that she wants to have and surround
herself with people that are going to help her get
through the toughest job she's ever gonna face. But there
are times when she has to make the decision by herself,
even if I mean to use her own terminology, even
(11:00):
if Tim Walls is the last person in the room
with her, when she's coming up with a difficult decision
or coming up with an answer to a difficult problem,
she's the one.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
She's ultimately the one.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
So her interviews, by the way, have this is a
highly anticipated interview because of her past with interviews and
words salid and whether it's a lack of preparation or
uncomfortability or not going to speaking. I mean, you can
be a brilliant person and be a horrible speaker.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, I know that in an interview.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I know that, but but you know, we have been
freaking very nice by not replaying past interviews while we've waited.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
For this one, right, Well, I mean you got to leave.
You got to leave the space open for her to fill.
You got you have to give her an opportunity. Whatever
your opinion is, you have to give her an opportunity.
I think, to show that she can do this despite
the criticism, which is very valid that since she was
basically anointed the Democratic nominee before it became official. I mean,
(12:01):
we're talking about thirty seven days whatever it is, the
time frame between when she got the mantle of being
the Democratic nominee for president and the sit down for
this interview Tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Is that tomorrow night? Yeah, tomorrow night, six o'clock CNN.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
She and Dana, She and Tim Wallas are going to
sit in front of Dana Bash.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
You can't ignore what I can't.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
What I don't understand is you can't push back against
the criticism. There's no argument as to why she shouldn't
be doing an interview.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Twenty twenty one, NBC News, she sat down with Lester Holt.
This may be why she shouldn't be doing an interview.
She was asked why she had not visited the border
since taking office. As Vice president, she had been tasked
by Biden to be the borders are or what have you?
She said back to Lester Holt, well, I have also
(12:52):
not been to Europe. Now, what the hell does that
have to do with anything with the border. That's our country,
That's where the focus should be. We don't care that
you haven't been to Europe. But she kind of bumbled
her way through that from what I remember.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Scott Jennings is a Republican conservative writer. He's on CNN
and he gave his opinion about what this means for
the Harris campaign.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I think it's I have great confidence in Dana and
CNN to do this. I think it's incredibly weak, weak
sauce to show up with your runa. They saw us
the fact that they don't have enough confidence in her
to let her sit herself the actual top of the
ticket and do a single interview. In fact, I think
the handwringing and the gyrations over this over the last
month show a troubling lack of confidence in her political ability,
(13:44):
which also makes you wonder, as a voter, well, what
kind of president would you be if this kind of
a small time decision? Can we do an interview or not.
What does that look like for your decision making process?
Speaker 7 (13:54):
So on.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
So yes, I think Republicans are going to think it's
pretty weak to show up with effectively someone to take
up half the time.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Okay, to your point of she's going to have a
team around her if she's elected president making the decisions. Right,
she's a face of the country, the face of the office.
But she's not going to make all the decisions. That's
just not how it works. You have advisors for this
very exactly. I was talking to someone over the weekend
who happens to have an evangelical voter, and I was saying, what, so,
(14:26):
how do you guys feel about Trump? Like I can't
wrap my head around the evangelicals for Trump? And he
said to me, you know, when I have a broken
toilet at home, I call the plumber and I want
the plumber to come and do his job. I don't
care what he has going on in his personal life.
I don't care what he has done. I don't care
if he's a horrible human. I want him to fix
(14:48):
my toilet. He said, that's what we think about the office.
We want somebody in there that's going to reel in
taxes and things like that, and that's what we're interested
in in the team around them, that it's the policy.
You're not voting for a person and their personality and
the way they've lived their life. You're voting for what
(15:08):
they're going to do with the policy because it could
benefit you, right, because it could fix your toilet.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
And I thought, wow, that I've never looked at it
like that before.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, he's a flawed person. I mean, there's no there's
no candidate. Well, everyone is, We're all flawed people. His
happened to be pretty extravagant flaws that I'm sure people, uh,
some people don't want to overlook. But there is no
there's no expectation probably that that guy is a direct
reflection of your values, right or woman. But it's it's
(15:41):
somebody who is going to be more in line with
your values than the.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Other, especially when it comes to dollars and cents. Yeah,
follow the money. If you want to give away money,
vote for Kamala. You want to keep the money, vote
for Trump.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
If yeah, if it's boiled down like that, it's it's
hard to ignore, all right, True crime Whens Day When
we come back, an update on the Kory Richards case.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I love it. Did you hear about the kid who
broke the vase? No, I got that story coming up. Excellent.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
App campaign trail Today.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Govitor Tim Wall's little ing speech at a gathering in
the International Association of Firefighters this morning, but he's going
to be making his way to Georgia. He and Vice
President Harris are going to do a bus tour through
some rural parts. In fact, that's where they're going to
be tomorrow when they sit down for that interview on
CNN with Dana Bash.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
I want Walts up there because I don't know him.
I don't know anything about him. I don't know any
of them. I want them both up there because I
want to get to know both of them. I want
to see how they interact. I want to see if
they play off each other well. I want to see
I want to see their chemistry, if there is any
kind of chemistry. I want to see how do they interact.
(17:00):
I want to get to know both of them. There's
nothing wrong with any is this?
Speaker 7 (17:03):
You guys make a big deal over nothing good point.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I do want to see how they interact. That will
be fascinating to see, and it'll also be fascinating to
see if he jumps in, you know, if she's answering question,
if she struggles at all, if he jumps in, you
don't think so.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I do not think. I think that he his personality
may prompt him to do that, but I think he's
been warned against it.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I don't know, because that's I think that's the whole.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Way back to the whole debate thing.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
The reason that the reason that she wanted open mics
was so that Trump would interrupt her and she could go,
excuse me, I'm speaking.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I don't think so. I think she wants Trump to
interrupt her so she doesn't have to speak as much.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I mean, it is possible.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But U and I, yes, we need to know that
our president and vice president get along.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
That's fine, and I understand that.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
But but it almost to me that sounds almost like
you're relying too much on Uh, how is the table
set versus what is in what's in the dinner? Like,
what's the candle situation on the table versus what's the
food that I'm going to have nourish my body.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I don't need them to get along. In fact, I
think i'd prefer a president and a vice president to
have divergent ideas.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Abraham Lincoln famously chose people who he knew.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Was going to disagree with me, and Abraham Lincoln very
very similar.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Saying if you want to keep your money, vote for
If you want spend money, vote for Kamala. If you
want to keep your money, vote for Trump. Is so
black and white. If you want to go black and white,
how about say, if you're selfish, vote for Trump, and
if you care about other people, vote for Kamala.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
We're going to be something black and white like that.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
But yeah, I mean, yes, I say it.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It's the same thing divergent.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
But you can be.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
You can be selfless to people, you can be generous
to people, regardless of who is in the White House.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Here's my problem with that take on it is I
have a problem trusting the government to spend my money.
It's not that I don't want to spend money on
people who need it, it's that I want to make
that decision. I don't like the way that they money
launder our tax dollars. Because that's absolutely what they do.
(19:22):
They'll tell you what's going one place, they send it
another place, and they're all self serving. So I guess
I just have some more cynical viewpoint. But I think
that that's the same thing. I think we're saying the
same thing now.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I mean, as an example, this California State Senate yesterday
approved overwhelmingly that plan to offer up to one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars to illegal immigrants to put us
down payments on homes for a program that ran out
of money eleven days after it opened. I mean, they're
trying to inject more money into this thing. We have
a sixty billion dollar budget deficit in the state of California,
(19:54):
and that's where they're putting their money. That's that generosity
for the sake of generosity. It's not generosity. It's you
trying to buy some favor with some group or some people.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
That's not it. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I'm sorry here, you guys.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Sidetrack.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Okay, Corey Richards, all right, So this is a woman,
Corey Richards. She's thirty four, she's a mother of three,
and she's accused of poisoning her thirty nine year old
husband Eric with a lethal dose of fentanyl at their
home near Park City in March of twenty twenty two,
and she poisoned him by making him a deadly.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Sandwich jam and fentanyl.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Sandwich means to collect millions in life insurance funds, flip
a house and be with her lover, the handyman. This
thing's got everything. Is the same plumber that fixed your
friend's toilet. No, I mean maybe I don't know. There
was a criminal defense attorney who went on Fox News
(20:54):
and so there are two reasons why people lose their
mind and kill people. One of them is loved, the
other's mind, and she had both of those going on.
They said that she regularly sent text messages to the handyman, Robert,
who worked at properties she intended to sell. Apparently there
was a prenup in play, and if the husband was
(21:16):
dead it would make things go a lot easier. Or
what my wife is doing right now? Does she have
a life insurance policy on you? Because that's that's one
of the first things that they do before they kill you. Well,
they take out a life insurance I took out a
life insurance policy. And she knows that, she knows she
(21:36):
does know.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
That, well, why am I going to the body knows
the prosecution.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
According to the two day preliminary hearing, the judge said
prosecution had shown probable cause for these charges of aggravated
murder and distribution of a controlled substance. One of the
other aspects of this case is they they were pretty
clear to say that this was illicit fentanyl as opposed
to medical grade fentanyls, So she's buying the dirty stuff.
(22:07):
One of the housekeepers claims to have sold fentanyl to
Corey on three different occasions through a series of text messages.
The housekeeper was later arrested, saying the drugs and other
illegal items were found at her home, and the detective
said the housekeeper told her that Corey or that she
had sold Corey up to ninety blue green fentanyl pills,
(22:31):
and that the housekeeper's supplier later confirmed the detectives that
he had sold her the fentanyl that she requested, but
they didn't find any fentanyl pills in Corey's home.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
In the months before she was arrested. In May of
last year, she self published the children's book Are You
with Me? It's about a father with angel wings watching
over his young son after passing away. They say the
book could play a key role for prosecutors in framing
the death as a calculated killing with an elaborate cover
up attempt. A defense attorney that talked to Fox and
(23:02):
talk about hiding in plain sight, talk about trying to
cover up such an egregious crime as she has three children. Yeah,
and then to try to profit and write this book
and act like a victim when you're actually the perpetrator.
That's basic instinct, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Well, it's also movie, but it almost seems that's too
far out. The guy refers to it, is that's kind
of Hollywood stuff. Yeah, that's even even Hollywood's like the book.
That's too much basic instinct.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
We all saw the movie. We all saw Sharon Stone.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
We have fully too much thrown our support behind banning
cell phones in schools.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Also, yes, and now is workplace? Is it possible that
we could ban it in the workplace? Yeah, that would
be something in some places.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Also, I'm going to pay off that dolphin story, the
dolphin story, the lonely horny dolphin that has been attacking
people in Japan. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon Demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. A couple stories that
we're following. A ransomware gang claims that it is hacked
into the US Marshals Service and is threatening to release
information that would include some top secret documents. In a
recent post to its site on the dark Web, cybercrime
group known as Hunters International added the US Marshall Service
(24:27):
to its list of alleged victims, alongside a countdown timer
that's set for roughly two days.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Are you ready for the lonely horny dolphin?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Sure? Okay?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
A lonely dolphin has been blamed for a spike in
attacks on beach goers in Japan. Experts warn the dolphin
may be lashing out due to sexual frustration. More than
forty five people have been injured in dolphin attacks. This
is about two hundred miles west of Tokyo. And they
think it's the same dolphin, the same male Indo specific
(25:00):
bottle nose dolphin that has attacked all of these people.
Why because he lost his pod. He lost his pod,
he lost the other dolphin. Tail dolphins when they are
mating can be very wild, so Dolphins lunging on top
of a human are usually a sexual act, and this
(25:21):
dolphin doesn't have anyone to mate with, so he's finding people.
The unfortunate part is is he's not just lying on
top of them and brushing up against them. He's taking
bites out of them, which is a problem.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Of the other part is fine, the general.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Did you rather dolphin, dolphin rub up against you or
bite or take a chunk out of you? I would
rather have the dolphin rub up against me than bite me.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Give it.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I think you're mistaking the I think they're writing it
in a very soft, playful way.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Rubbing up against.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
You you think it is.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I think it's an assault.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Dolphins that then take a bite chew away. There was
an opinion piece that came out of the Daily Telegraph
out of London that I thought was interesting. We have
talked and repeatedly called for cell phone bands in schools
elementary through high school. Get them out of there. It's
(26:20):
ruining our kids' attention spans. We are giving them mental
problems that we cannot control. And it's just an awful,
awful tool that kids feel like they need.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
They become addicted to it.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Yeah, So heroin.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
So there's a question also about workplace productivity that has
declined in the last several years, and the decline coincides
perfectly with the rise of smartphones and social media. Similar
to the book The Anxious Generation by doctor Jonathan hat
which explains that these incredible instances and rise in percentages
(26:57):
of suicides, mental illness report sorts, education scores going down
coincides perfectly with smartphones and social media. So the question
is should smartphones be banned in workplaces as well.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
According to data gathered by Rescue Time, the average worker
was spending one point five hours of their working week
on their smartphone. That was in twenty twelve, Okay, one
point five hours. By twenty twenty, our addiction had grown
and we were spending five hours per week on our phones.
(27:38):
That's fourteen percent of our working week. That's fourteen percent
of loss productivity if you're a productive member of the working.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Force, which is great. I saw so on Sunday. I
still get Sunday mornings. I think it is I still
get my screen time notification from it because I've not
never turned it off. Mine was really good the last
week in Chicago. Yeah, mine was at seven hours a day.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Part of that was because I was like watching things
on my phone and we'd have it on while we
were doing the show. So it's yeah, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Know mine was that, you know, when I'm thinking of that,
it was on my iPad. I wasn't watching television. I
watched a lot of television in my real life, and
when we were there, there was no time to watch television,
so I barely watched anything. That's what That's what I
was impressed with, not my phone screen time.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
They say.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
The problem of increasingly poor performance at work isn't just
that employees are on their smartphones during work time. It's
the broader impact on their focus on their efficiency that
is the most damaging, because we have become so addicted
to our smartphones that merely having it in the same
room or even the same area of the office or
(28:50):
the house, whatever, hugely distracts us.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
I realized this, and I hate it.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
About myself that that you you'll catch yourself reacting to
something and go, wait, why did I Wait a minute,
why did I do that?
Speaker 3 (29:02):
My wife and I have our phones.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
If we're watching TV or something like that, our phones
are usually over in the other side of the room,
or they're on a little table. But if it's if
it's just sitting on the table, like the hard surface
of the table and not a napkin or something like that,
you'll hear it go boom and we'll both like yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Jump up and look over the couch. Was that mine?
Was that yours? Is something?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
That's why I keep it on silent because I found
when I had it pinging. If I have it pinging
for whatever reason, I find that I anticipate the ping
and that makes me not anxious. I would say anxious,
But but you not relax, not relax like I'm on
the drug. Right. Yeah, we are so addicted to constant distractions.
(29:45):
It's so helpful just to like sit in silence without
any stimulation for at least part of the day every day.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
So I'd be interested.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I mean, if you work in a place that has
band cell phones, whether it's for safety reasons or the
anxiety and focus reasons, whatever it is, let us know.
You can leave us a message on the talkback feature
on the iHeart app. Just hit that little button when
you're on the app, a little microphone button, and it
leaves us a message. Or if you think it should
be outlawed. Cell phone's outlawed in in specific places of work.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Big fish and broken vases.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Oh and the dentist. Oh, something happened at the dentist yesterday.
In my entire career of dentistry, they touch you. Never
once has this happened before. That's how that happens.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Waits Oh right, yeah, that's pretty common, right yeah, I
mean you walk around with that.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
How could you not?
Speaker 1 (30:39):
That's next Doug, Gary Shandon.
