Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey, everybody, it is the Gary and Shannon Show. Neil Sevadra,
Marla Tea is filling and you can also see Marla
today and tonight as Fox turns to Marla Vision. Yeah, no,
they call it. They don't know you. Basically from six
o'clock on.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Tonight, I'm on at five, five, six, ten and eleven.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
That was That was a test. You don't think that
that's Marla Vision. It's not.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
It's not Marla Vision. But thank you.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Do you change throughout the when you're on that long
or do you just wear the same out I'm not
being a jackass, or maybe I am, but not on purpose.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Janie, will I wear this?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
No, no, no, no, no, I know you. You already
said you're gonna go home and change. Oh right, No, no, no,
I wear the same You're gonna wear that? No? Do
you when you're on? No?

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I was saying, Okay, I don't change.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Because I don't know that I've seen you in the
same outfit twice. Well, I like to rotate. I do
like to mix it up. I do like to mix
it up. Yeah, I have this shirt and eight colors.
I like to mix it up too. All right, let's
get some of that there. What's happening? Time for what's happening.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
This?

Speaker 1 (01:29):
You know, you and.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Marla and I were talking about this. Marla is a
great news resource, and so when I've heard a story, obviously,
being around the station, I hear these things all the time.
And I was asking her about have you heard about
this or any information about that? And we're kind of
blown away. Have you heard of this Colorado town there
in Aurora that is being overrun by Venezuelan gangs? So

(01:56):
we we talked about how we heard about this, you know,
crime tourism, the burglary tourism. Yeah, where they come, and
they will come and they will do mostly second story
type jobs where they go in through the second story
because most people don't put alarms on their second story,

(02:18):
assuming people aren't coming through there. They'll go in through
the upstairs and they'll just grab handbags, jewelry like the
stuff that they can whatever they can get their hands on,
and then they fly out. They give it to you know,
a fencer here and then they fly out of town.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Well, last week there was a massive sing operation, a
crackdown that we covered, and I mean this was extremely sophisticated.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
This is where they had in the valley.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
They had a quote rental car company that was anything
but and it was Chilean's coming in and.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Another group that has been at the forefront of their.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
And they would go to this car company to basically
get instructions of where to go. They already had home
addresses mapped out for them to go.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, so somebody's already scoped out.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
But because it was visible, there would be regular people
who think that they could go rent a car. And
when that was the case, if you and I walked
up and said we need a rental, they'd say, oh,
we're all out. And so the FEDS got caught onto
them and they busted them. And now I can't remember
the dollar signed, but it was obviously in the millions
that they had stolen from homeowners in the valley. And

(03:30):
they made you know, upteen arrests and they got these
guys and but it's sophisticated to say the least. Again,
that was a Chilean burglary tourism ring that was broken
up last week and then this video service that we
showed last week, and the video is terrifying.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
It does not get better, it gets worse. And now
you have this this gang that basically took over two
apartment buildings and they these are these migrants, They're not now,
these are not the people that are coming that want
jobs here. These are people that are abusing our hospitality

(04:05):
and the state of affairs right now and coming in
and basically taking it's it's unfathomable in the United States
that this could take place without without law enforcement.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Response right exactly because now the police department there or
we're a police department, said it set up a special
task force to address this, to address the concerns. I
think it's more than concerns. I mean, that's not concerns now.
Concerns were long before the video is posted on foxlay
dot com. If you want to go look forward, but
it's it's you set assault rifles.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
They're carrying heavy artillery.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Oh yeah, and just making their way and now this
is their home and your home. Get out, and now
police department has to set up a task force.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
You open the door and they go leave.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, and with with an AK forty seven in your face.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I think you would. So that's scary and I can't
wait for more of that. There was some rumors swirling
around about the Hell's Angels and other gangs going we're
going out there. I don't think they were real, but
that would be crazy if that's how we have to
have justice, is for a gang warfare to take I'm
not saying.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
I mean it's too Let's go back to Ranche Palas
Verdes and a government wont t anything, and so you're
going to a private company.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
So you could look at that much the same.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, you don't want to take care of it, we'll
take care of it. But massive fire, six firefires hospitalized
battling this Riverside County blaze, and that's always horrible to
hear this. They call this the record fire and it's
I mean, last on this story was six hundred and
fifty acres with fifteen percent containment.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
We know how hot it is down there, so these
seem to be heat related hospitalizations. They said that the
six who were taken to the hospital are treated four
quote minor medical symptoms.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Obviously we hope for their speedy recovery.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
All right, more of what's happening.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
When we return, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on
demand from kf I A M six forty.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
To have Ritchie in here. He's dancing, you know, right,
Elmer's bringing the beats and I think that was he
is enjoying them profusely. Elmer.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Was that a tease for mixtape Monday?

Speaker 2 (06:31):
What do you do?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
I can't, I can't see.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
So picture this Richie Allway showing off his badonka donk yeah, tark.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, no, Richie, Good for you, buddy.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
I know, Richie, why aren't you behind the mic?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
He enjoys, He enjoys his life. Oh right, that may
that may work on the dudes, buddy, but not us.
All right with yeah, my ass back with what's happening
Titanic expedition. We're still fascinated. Yeah I am. I mean

(07:14):
I'm curious. So many life loss obviously, I guess you
would call them antiquities. It's a you know, history that
you're finding and like. And they on this latest expedition
they found bronze, a lost bronze statue, and they've got
these high resolution photos now and tons of discoveries. But

(07:36):
our tech keeps getting better, so we're able to bring
information up that we couldn't in the past, and that
always fascinates me.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
So how will AI be used now and the expeditions for.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
You'll be able to do full walkthroughs and see everything
because they're going to be able to piece these things
together and also all of the theories and beliefs that
you use. You get engineers looking at the mangled pieces
right the metal and how it might have torn apart
or where it broke. And so now you're going to

(08:11):
the preservation of this information. It was that that was
nineteen twelve, So nineteen twelve, it's over one hundred years already,
one hundred and twelve more years. At another one hundred
two hundred years, they will be able to do a
full look through all of these things. And that stuff

(08:35):
just impresses the hell out of me.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Meanwhile, Jack and Rose never let go.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah, you know that. I think it could fit on
that door with you. No, I'm sorry, Yeah, no, I'm
barely I'm really I'm kind of scrunched as it is. Really,
I'll hang on to the corner. Yeah, I was kind
of going to use that for my head.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
It's so true. But that movie was captivating. Remember being
in the theater just bawling my eyes out.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
I have no doubt I know. So this is going
transition back the remains of a ship to the remains
of two humans. More human remains are found at the
home of the alleged killer of that Newdiest couple, this
Newdiest resort, And these are one of those things that
we know they exist, but I never heard. I guess

(09:24):
they don't have big signs or anything.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Well, right, this is out.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
This is in Redlands.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah, this is in Redlands. I don't know how long.
How long, I don't know how large. The Newdiest property is.
And this is, by the way, called the Olive Dell
Ranch Nudist Resorts. There were several homes there are, I
should say several homes on the property. I don't know
how many people actually are part of the resort, but

(09:50):
many have gone on camera now to speak out about
the deaths of Daniel and Stephanie Menard. She's seventy three,
he's seventy nine, reported missing about a week and a
half ago. Their remains were they assume it's their remains
were found on the property.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
And maybe others too. At this point, the bizarre turn
of this story is someone must have known or had
some insight to something because they went straight to one
of the neighbor's homes. He barricaded himself in. We're told
there's a concrete bunker called it bunker. Yeah, so bunker

(10:32):
that he was in, and they needed to take their
hydraulic bar. It's this crazy vehicle.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
It's called it's officially known as the.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Rook, and it goes in there and it just pushes
its way through anything, tore the house apart. Looked like
a bomb was dropped. They finally found him. He had
a weapon on him, a rifle of some kind. Tried
to take his own life, but the it jammed and
so now he in custody. As the law enforcement, you know,

(11:03):
talk about a labor day, these local law law enforcement
personnel that are working today sifting through all of this
to find even more evidence.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
There we have another drug bust courtesy of LAPD. They've
found forty three pounds of crystal mess handguns and also
just straight cash. They've announced the arrest of a suspect
and the seizure of all of this loot. They recovered
eleven thousand dollars in cash, and a handgun. Where this

(11:39):
happened is not known that information of this raid was.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, they haven't come out and given all the details
of course there you know, but drug dealers come from
other areas. They prey on the people there in skid Row.
I've been down there and I've seen this. There's a
lot of crazy activity going on there, and so this
is some of the drugs they believe were being used
for that. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
And you see this crystal meth in the photo there,
and there's about twenty bags of ziploc bags.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, the gallon bags. It looks like those big freezer bags. Wow.
See I just put chicken, like chicken in there, stuff
like that to freeze it. Yeah, but I'm using it
run Apparently first ever LA Cup soccer tournament held in
Griffith Park. This is kind of cool. It's just yesterday.

(12:34):
Staff members from the ten city Council offices, the Mayor's office,
a City Attorney's office and competed on the field.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
This is all to promote city parks, recreation and open
space within the city and this was put on by
LA Park's Foundation to inspire people to get outdoors, especially
because we can basically year round here in southern California
because of our temperatures, they're so.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Mild, well right now they're hot. But it's one of
those things. So it's the first annual La Cup soccer tournament.
We'll see if they assume they're going to carry it on.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Is anybody from the DA's office out there and like,
ive got yellow carded or something? They would just wave
it n I get back on the field. You're fine technical, Yeah, no,
no that's not that's all right. That yellow card has
been downgraded to a light yellow card and everybody can
go run.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Okay, So too much of a good thing? Can endurance
exercise be harmful? And I am a marathon runner, so
tell me, neil, am I going to die as a.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Result, because you're probably gonna go down before me. It's
obvious your helpful eating habits you're running is beating the
crap out of you. Yes it is, and I'm here
to tell you you better knock it off. You know what,
We will give some more details on this. We have
to go into mixtape. I think we can do both, right, Yeah,

(14:05):
maybe we'll just do this right now. Okay, So this
is a new study, a study basically a nutshell study
came out some time ago saying that they noticed the
scientists doing the study, researchers noticed that there was calcium
build up in endurance endurance type athletes. It was pooh pood,

(14:26):
And then they did two more and apparently they've noticed
that No, it tracks. There seems to be some pattern
in endurance exercise and the building of calcium plaque in
the main arteries in the neck.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
So they're saying that it's better to not run long
distance and it's better to sit on your couch.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
That's what you're telling me, Yes, essentially, so as listen
as a couch elite, as a professional couch elate. I
actually I don't sit on the couch much and I'm
not a you know, I don't get.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
You don't strike me as that always get your tinkering.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, I'd rather be in my shop. Yeah, sometimes standing,
sometimes sitting, but always tinkering. It's a rarity to be
able to to. It's usually when I'm not like now,
when I'm not feeling well or something. But I will
tell you that here's the thing with these studies. Eggs
are good, Eggs are bad. Coffee is good, coffee bad.
Wine's good, wine's bad.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
Catching up on your sleep on the weekend, Yes, that
doesn't matter, Yes, it matters.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Didn't that happen recently? They said that. Originally they said
you can't catch up on sleep, it's impossible keep your schedule.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
Yes, so if you are a night shift worker and
you have to get up at one am, they're telling
you to get up at one am on your day
off on a Saturday to keep your circadium rhythm as such.
And now a new study says, no, you should sleep
in on the weekends because you're doing your body some
good by catching up on those extra disease that you've
missed out on.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
So in this I can't win from all non scientific
study that Marlon and I just did. Basically, we are
here to tell you that studies are garbage.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
Well, I'm here to tell you that I'm not going
to that study is not going to make me stop
doing what I love.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Oh, and that is I think I could tie a
buick to your waist and it wouldn't stop you. For money,
I have the Tiger Baby. Do you do that when
you run?

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Don have rocky posters at home?

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Dun Dun.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
You have Darth Vader.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
I have stallone. That's a good that's a good one.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Absolutely, the originals, Oh my gosh. Yes, those are classic films.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Oscar Oscar winning, Yes, sit down with most sometime talk Rocky.
He's a huge Rocky fan.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
His whole life was a million to one shot.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
That's the tagline. Look at Ice actually saw the tiger's
eye in your eyes. Yeah. Well sometimes that's all you need,
your Adrian, So you're saying I have a chain, all right,
another classic, so, uh, we're going to get into mixtape
Monday when we return. Adele saying I do for a
little while. Oh that was good. Thanks, they just made

(17:11):
it up.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Sometimes you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Oh yeah, that was the one that was like sketched. Yeah,
it was drawing, Yes, very very popular. Yes, we all
loved it. It was something we'd never seen. The woman
in it is a cutie pie, little kind of curled hair. Yeah,
and I think they were sort of one hit wondering, right,
one hit Wonders.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Remind me, I do remember the band?

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Now I don't even remember the band. Who does whose things?
Take on? Huh? Yeah? Look at that live reactions. Yeah,
that's who that was. Well, that sets us up for
Mixtape Monday. Now sure does.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Tape Monday.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Where was Monday Monday Mix Tape Monday. Behind the scenes,
we're chatting up about Blinda Carlisle.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Yes, yes, so I had the utmost honor of interviewing
Belinda Carlisle about two weeks ago. She has a nonprofit
based in India and it's to all of the essential
like wild animals out there, dogs, cats, there's a feral

(18:47):
Thank you feral animals. She helps get them into homes
and she also provides work for the vulnerable people of
those particular towns that she serves. She's been doing this
for several years now. She has a fundraiser coming up
for it. It's called if Memory Serves Me Correctly, Animal
People Alliance, and the fundraisers coming up, she's going to

(19:09):
be performing because she still performs all these years later
and as Belinda Carlisle.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
And it's at the Abbey.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
So we were promoting that, but you know, in doing
my research to prepare for it, talk about the mixtape Monday,
talk about going back in time and looking at those
Go Go videos and her singles and.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
A fascinating they were growing up in the punk rock movement,
big time, they went poppy, they turned their well, they
were very smart and and so they they took the
Go Gos into a totally different direction. Some felt they
sold out. I say they bought in and they were

(19:52):
still making great music. I think it was different, but
they were still making great music and ended up, you know,
fashioning a good part of the eighties.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
And then she went solo and she was wildly successful.
And I do believe that she took some time off
of performing. But now she has a new twenty twenty three,
she released a new album, So she's out there and
she is. She looks amazing. She's in her sixties now,
and I mean just the heart of gold obviously because

(20:24):
of the work that she does. She says, I said,
how did you get into this? And she said, well,
I actually I always wanted to be a veterinarian. That
was my first love, and maybe a singer. And I
said maybe. And I said, well, millions of fans across
the globe are glad that you became a singer.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
See you and I are different. I would have said,
there are millions of animals across the globe that are
pissed off. You became because of your selfish wittier than
I am you your selfishness. No, she's always fascinated me.
You know, it's hard not to have a crush on
some one like that. But I also have a crush

(21:02):
on her. I told her, I'm mad about you. She said,
never heard that before. Never Never. Mark also Susannah Hoffs
from from the Bang Bangle. Do you follow her on
social media? Follow her on Instagram. She is adorable and
will take the worst day you ever have and flip
it on its head with her smile. Today is the worst.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
No, it's manic Monday. Just another manic Monday.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
I wish it was Sunday. That's right, that's my fun day.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Don't make me walk like an Egyptian.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Now, that's just weird. Adele says she intends to take
an extended break after ending her Las Vegas residency, which
started weird. Do you remember her residency. You know, they
claim that it was COVID or what have you, But
they were having problems and it was supposed to launch
and then it didn't, and there was all this talk

(21:57):
about maybe they you know, there were problems, or she
was a problem or whatever, and now it's going out
where they're saying she's going to take a long break.
I love the videos I see of her in that residency,
the way she talks with the crowd.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Oh right, yes, and she'll call people out.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, yes, she interacts and she says stuff and she's
you know, cusses or whatever. But apparently she just has
had an eventful few years personally and professionally.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
She's gone through a lot. Right, So she was separated
in twenty nineteen. She's been in a relationship ever since,
and in by the way her separation, as they have
a child together, and now she's with a sports agent.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
And their's speculation that they're engaged to be married. We'll see.
Maybe that's what she used a wedding plan.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Well, she says, I've spent the last seven years building
a new life for myself and I want to live it.
And her voice was trembling, apparently she said, I want
to live the new life that I have been building.
So she say that she may not take the stage
again for an incredibly long time. That's a weird choice

(23:07):
of words, right, because.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
You're not quite retiring or you don't want to go
that far.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, you'll leave me people on the hook. And how
old a person is she? How old a person is she? Well,
I don't know. That's the way I talk. So what's
the you know, looking with you?

Speaker 4 (23:24):

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Wow? You guys are twins.

oh gosh, I can't remember what the name of it was,
but it was food terms that sound dirty, Okay, So
I'd go through and I'd read terms.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Well, I think you could make anything sound dirty if
you really wanted to. But go ahead, give me an example.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Bunghole. Yeah, yeah, it was that the way I said it.
And do you do you know what a buggle? I don't.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Should I google or not?

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Well, no, because that could go down. I love your
Shannon Farren instincts. I'm going to google that. No, I
google everything. Bunghole is the hole in the cask wine cask,
and that's the whole. That the term they came up with,
it's the bung. The bung is the whole b u
n g h O l e yep, bunghole. So we

(27:24):
have used that incorrectly, I guess. So I would you know,
talk about you know, things like mastication?

Speaker 4 (27:35):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah, you know they sound dirty, but they're not got it,
They're just food words. Shall we shift emails.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
A little more appetizing? Maybe not for some Taylor Swift?

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yes so Megan the Stallion.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yes so the Megan the Stallion and Taylor Swift.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
They're going to be dominating next week's twenty twenty four
MTV vm as uh. Swift no surprise to anyone, tops
of the vm A dominations with ten eight alone for
her Fortnite Music video and then also she got some
nods in the Artist of the Year and Best Pop categories.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Just make her Queen of.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
The Moon or well you set off Mike that she
could run for president and probably win.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, you know, I'm off. I think she writes an
excellent song. I think she's incredibly talented. I mean, it's
not my type of music, but there's there are songs
that she does that are have great hooks.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
It's funny.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
I'm certainly not a swiftie, but when her Fortnite came
out and I listened to it, eh okay, and then
next thing, you know, it's just it's in your head.
It's so catchy you cannot escape it. So yeah, she
has a knack. Absolutely. So this is the tie to
the ABC News presidential debate. This the VMA's the MTV

(28:53):
Video Music Awards. They were scheduled for September the tenth, ah, but.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Then the debate was on and so then they moved it.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
So they will now air live on September the eleventh,
the day after to make wow.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
To make way for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. No,
they're making way for Kamala Harris.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Oh right, yes, of course, yes.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
And they're gonna be rooting and so let's see, it's
gonna be there all kind of Lenny Kravitz is gonna
be there either way. It's not like the old VMA's
like you know what I mean, whoa, this is his lane?
Are we really missing out on anything? Look, well you can.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
Explain what the old VMAs were.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
Come on now, like take me back to like I
don't know, nineteen ninety nine Britney Spears is like making
her flashy debut within sync or like I don't know,
two thousand and two's VMA's where Beyonce is hanging upside
down singing baby Boy with Sean Paul like that kind
of vibe.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
You know, Well, how long have the VMA has been
going because I would even go further back that on
a gay test or something different.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
No, I think it was just incorporated. But I don't know,
like eighties No, Like I think.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
It's Madonna's cider, whoever that is.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
I'm just kidding. Yeah, Cindy Loppery, He's like, it's that
the one with skin issues. Well she doesn't want to
have fun, right, That's that's right?

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Hello cool j Yeah that's my jam.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
He's yes, they do.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
The other day I was watching like random VMA videos,
I guess because you know, it's around the corner. So
YouTube does like this little like who's nominated? Type slideshow
type thing, and yeah, I went into a rabbit hole
and I ended up in nineteen eighty six type thing,
like it's that's a second thing.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Oh eighty six great year? Oh absolutely, Kenny Jackson, you
name it. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
Hey, Taylor's with this, nominated for so many awards this year.
So good for her. Anyone excited? You guys want to
hope to win?

Speaker 2 (30:56):
No, yeah, that's terrible, That's what I'm say. Yeah, it's
not the same. I mean, but even award shows are
boring and lame.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
These I mean I'm seeing here too, Jennifer Lopez.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
I mean, she's a previous recipient of the Video Vanguard Award,
and her those headlines have been just dominated by you
know what what the big divorce?

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Oh yeah, because none of us saw that.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah right, speaking of since you are, we know that
Richie is die hard for Britney Spears.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Does that mean you are?

Speaker 3 (31:29):
You mentioned in SANC So you like in Sync as well?

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah? I was more team in Sync than Backstreet Boys
first sure?

Speaker 3 (31:35):
Okay, So did you watch the documentary Dirty Pop?

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Is that the one with Lou Lou Roman? Yes? I did,
very odd man, that was fascinating. Yeah, and how they
used AI did you say that, Oh, does that surprise
anybody that I didn't see it? Yeah, it does.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
Actually, it's really good. It's about and I didn't mean
to cut you off, Ritchie. You're talking about AI. What
was the AI part?

Speaker 5 (31:59):
Well, he wrote a book about how to become a
successful businessman or whatever, and then obviously he passed away, right,
And then when they were doing that.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
He passed away in prison.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
Still like they did like this, like AI generated of him,
like reading like passages from his book in between the documentary.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Oh right, So.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
He Lou Pearlman is the man who founded Backstreet Boys
in Sync.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Aaron Carter and all those other boy bands.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
All of those bands.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
He is the genius mastermind who literally plucked this person
and said, hey, do you have any friends or cousins
who could join?

Speaker 3 (32:35):
And that's how he formed. And he was I think he.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
Got his money from airplanes and he owned a blimp company.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Meanwhile, it was the largest ponzi scheme in.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
History, drama, and so he went to prison many years later.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
And I have seriously no recollection of this.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
It's a fascinating story.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
His money, he was getting money.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
To yes, yes, and so so he couldn't just.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Take the money that was obviously being generated and well,
joy a.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Bad deal with the record company.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
I believe it was for In sank Yeah, and you
know he was short changing them funds and they caught
on and so then they left him and they went
somewhere else. And even though he had a bad name
because of that, people were so desperate for fame that
they said, well, you found it in Sync, so you
can do the same for us, and they were willing

(33:31):
to take that chance and roll the dice. Eventually he
got found out, but there's so much mixed feelings between
him and say Justin Timberlake, because without him there may
not be in sanc and and everything that came thereafter.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Sure sexy.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
And so when he died, no drinking, He died in prison,
and they showed in the documentary that Justin took to
Instagram and basically paid homage to him and just said,
you know, thank you for what you did, sort of
a thing.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
But then on the flip side, he literally ruined live.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
So you you hear from the people who gave money
and their life savings and lives ruined forever fascinating.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
As to wow, insane in sync, look at us in sync.
What like well oiled machine. Well, bye bye bye. I
don't want to tell you what to do today, but
