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 Wonderful Thursday Morning. It is.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
That's not course life.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
That is a vodkatonic No set it up. Okay, all right, Hey,
we're not promoting drinking at nine. I'm just identifying what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Everybody, be safe, yeah, but have a great time today.
We are alive today for our news and Bruise at
Bjay's Restaurant in brew House here in Huntington Beach once again.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Arguably one of the funnest places that we do this.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
And we've had a couple of I've already had a
couple of people come up and say this is their
first news and Bruce so Evan for example, Evan, this
is his first news and Bruce, thanks for coming out.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Welcome. That is amazing. We love Virgin News and Bruce people.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
We will be out here until one pm today. So
if you find yourself in the Huntington Beach area, it's
easy to get to right off the four h five
there at Edinger Beach Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Plenty of parking, You've got Bob's discount furniture across the way,
the great deals in there.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I mean not to brag, but we're technically in the
Huntington Beach Executive Park.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh I feel fancy.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
That's where we are today.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So the magic number is to take that Padres fans,
let's go with this NL West winning tonight. Everyone is crooked,
Thank you, Eric Adams.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Shouldn't they have achieved the whole claiming the Nationals like, you.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Can't have this conversation as a Giants fan. You have
to sit this one out. But it'd be nice to
get that buye.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
To if they're lucky. They're not lucky, James Left.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
This is not lucky.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's okay, that's right. I can see the tension in
your face.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Everyone everyone is crooked. Is everyone in government crooked? I
think they are. I think they get in not to
do any good for people. They get in to see
how they can take crooked money.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, the jury's still out on Eric over here.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I wasn't surprised how I has, and I wasn't surprised
when I saw that news today, which was sad in itself, right,
the fact that I'm not surprised that he was taking
kickbacks and free flights and traveling, all of that. I
kind of just expected out of all these people who
allegedly get in it to do the work of the people.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Please, that's never the case. No, never the case.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Like we've said, the people that we want to be
politicians don't want to get involved.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Why would they, right, why would anybody want to sit
through the rigamarole, the turmoil if you ran for an office,
the incredible invasion of privacy that people would impose upon you.
But the big deal today unsurvivable, unsurvivable. The big deal
today is going to be Hurricane Helene as it bears
down on Florida.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Here's a reporter that's in tallahasseen.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I remember Hurricane Adalia caused significant flooding in this area.
Flooding always an issue here, So that's why officials are
so concerned with this one. Transportation getting out of Tampa
is also increasingly becoming difficult. Tampa International Airport shutdown this
morning to commercial and cargo traffic at two am. It's
expected to remain closed until Friday.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
They say it's going to be a twenty foot storm surge.
That's the appropriate response has been insane. Yesterday when they
said ten feet and I'm thinking, oh my, that's a
wall of storm. That's a wall. There are now twenty feet.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
There are houses that will disappear.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
They showed pictures of I think it was after Hurricane Michael,
where the storm surge was about twelve feet in some areas,
and I mean entire neighborhoods are gone.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
As a result of that.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
This is Governor Ron De Santis of Florida, who listen.
He's awkward at times, but he handles these hurricanes and
natural disasters pretty well.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Every minute that goes by brings us closer to having
conditions that are going to be simply too dangerous to navigate.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, So he's basically been telling people every news conference
that he does. The last news conference was the time
to leave. You're running out of time.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Wait another six hours, seven hours and say, oh man,
this thing looks big and think that.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You're gonna want to go out. That would be very
hazardous to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Where was that guy right that was whoever did something
to him, whatever handlers he had, really screwed him up.
Because if he was just himself, is kind of not
super socially, yes, it would have been fine. Because he's
(04:27):
when he talks like a normal person. He sounds like
a normal person. Maybe not the most affable person, but
whatever they did to him that was.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
But again, they don't have to be affable. I just
want him to do his job.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
And if he's good at rebuilding a state after a
hurricane blasts through it or punches it in the throat,
like I said the other day, then let's get him.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Let's get him elected.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I like reading some of these names of the places
that'll get hit hard, Apple, Asha, Cola. And then this one.
I'll let you have this one.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Chessa, chessa? How witska?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Chessa? How witska? That's fun to say.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That's a new thing to me.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
All right, So we know that Helene right now now
is a category two expected to make landfall at least
as a category three later tonight. They have said anywhere
from nine o'clock tonight Florida time to midnight, maybe even
passed it, that it's going to make landfall there right
along the Panhandle in a couple of different places. So
the National Weather Service in Tallahassee is forecasting, like she said,
(05:20):
the storm surge of up to twenty feet.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
But that's right along the coast.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Tallahassee's inland by quite a ways, and Tallahassee will still
see the effects likely of even a Category two hurricane,
which would I believe be the strongest hurricane to ever
hit the still maintain that strength.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
When it's over Tallahassee. And then I have friends.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I talked to friends yesterday in Tennessee. They're getting ready
for what will what it will be by the time
he gets to Tennessee and parts north of there, sometimes
Saturday and to Sunday, it's just going to be an
absolute mess baseball games. Listen, the end of the season
is upon us. This is the last weekend of the
regular season. And the Mets and the Brave we're supposed
to play yesterday and they're supposed to play today. Both
(06:04):
of those games have been postponed ahead of time. They're
going to play them in a regular doubleheader on Monday,
they hope, assuming and they're.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
To those games.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
The playoffs.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I was just gonna say, do those mean anything?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, that's why they're going to redo them or they're
going to do them. They've postponed them because they do
matter when it comes to when it comes to wildcard
et cetera.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I just started paying attention to baseball this morning, I know,
and I was shocked that the Brewers have put together
such a nice season. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I like the bru I've always liked the Brewers. They're great,
They're a fun team, they're good, they're young.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I've always liked them because, for the most part, you
can get a Dodgers Brewers game on a Tuesday for
near nothing, you know, nothing.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, live today once again down in the rc or
a Huntington Beach at the Vjay's Restaurant, a brew house
on Beach Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I see forty nine er fans here. Warms my hearts.
Look at is that a brock Purty Jersey? Did he
handle things? I mean, I know they lost in the
fourth quarter, but he looked good. He may do with
nothing all those stars out.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
He's like thirty four years old now and he's been
in the league for twelve years or something.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
But that's the way he acted.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yes, yes, he acted like a Kirk Cousins. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Too old, too old.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
The bad news internationally just one of the stories that
we have been following, of course, is that Israel looks
like it's a bit closer to a ground invasion of Lebanon.
We have been watching that one obviously pretty closely. Vice
President Harris on the campaign trail, is going to visit
the border during a campaign rally in Arizona tomorrow. The
last time she visited the border with Mexico was back
(07:36):
in two thousand.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And twenty one.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
There is also an update to I don't know nobody's
been paying attention to this, but the ditty story right, Sean.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Combs gets popped.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
He's in jail, awful awful things that he's been accused of.
Fittycent Curtis Jackson.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Cracks me up.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Has hated Sean Combs for a long time and they've
been going at it for a while. He is putting
the money up for Netflix to do an entire documentary
series on Diddy.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Who wants to watch that? I don't have any appetite
for that.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
He started this back in December when it was just
four lawsuits and no federal indictment.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I mean, I have a hard time reading through the details,
the sordid details of what happened. It makes me sad
and grossed out. Speaking of sad and grossed out, the
Oakland Coliseum today, the last game the A's will play there.
There was an article in the New York Times, and
I love the way that this was put. It's a
really well written article start to finish. But they made
(08:43):
a great point, and I'll find the author as soon
as I read this part. The Coliseum one of the
nation's final examples of a sports stadium designed for people
to simply watch sports in. It is grungy, unpretentious and cheap.
And that is a exactly the Coliseum. And you know
what you think about all the new stadiums, and that's
(09:03):
exactly right, with the massive jumbo trons and all of
the things designed to have a complete fan experience, and
it's all great, but that's the that's the dying the
dead after today example of just watching the game.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
But it was never well, I mean to your point,
it was never comfortable.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
No, there was never supposed to be comfortable.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
About comfort at all watching those games.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
That game, by the way, is at twelve thirty today,
so okay, they'll be a bright daylight when people start
marauding the field and tearing the seats out of the stadium.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
They've had well, they started yesterday. A couple tried to
leave with a couple of the seats. They did not.
They've had a MLB low attendance like ten thousand or
whatever all season because the fans have protested. Until today
it's a sellout. Yeah, there's like sixty five thousand. Yeah, yes, yes,
I think they had.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Thirty or something yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
All right, So on the other coast in New York City,
they were yelling for Mayor Eric Adams to resign'd we're
d We got news last night that Mayor Adams it
was indicted.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
We now know why. They unsealed the charges today.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
He allegedly took ten million dollars in illegal campaign contributions
and bribes, including free flights and other ritzy perks, all
from foreign nationals in exchange for some favors. This was
a five count indictment. It's the first, which is kind
of I never would have said this, but it's the
first against a sitting mayor in the city of New York.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
And what a rising star until this morning, formerly rising, Yeah,
crashing to this, crashing to the sky. So they said
he took one hundred thousand dollars. He used his powers
to help Turkey. He has insisted he was innocent, I
asked New Yorkers, he says, to wait to hear our
defense and a news conference, but they raided his home.
(10:58):
And Richard Brifoldt is a professor at Columbia he read
the indictment called the allegations lurid, so that if some
of the facts in the indictment are true, they clearly
show Adams violated New York City ethics rules and then
tried to cover his tracks. It's all about the cover
up every time.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
So the government of Turkey, or at least Turkish nationals,
gave him all kinds of money to underwrite.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
His campaign from a few years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
They gave him hotel rooms, they gave him flights on
the Turkish airlines, etc. Meals at these high end restaurants,
and allegedly in this indictment, it says that he was
then pressuring New York.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
City officials to waive some of the.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Inspections and push through approval for things like the Turkish consulate.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
In Manhattan, among other things. So he had come out
last night.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I don't know if you saw that the video he
put out, he basically said the reason they're coming after me.
Now does this sound familiar from the other side. The
reason they're coming after me is because I'm fighting for you.
That's what Eric Adams said.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh, they're all fighting for us. Somebody said they're fighting
for us.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yes, while they're eating you know, thousand dollars meals, you know,
some Turkish restaurants.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
While they're battling their legal issues. They're now all of
our legal issues. So the undisclosed travel benefits date back
as far as twenty sixteen a trip to India. For
one trip, Adam staffer booked for Turkey, a reservation made
on the day of the Democratic primary. The staffer asked
the airline manager where Adams should stay while he's there.
(12:30):
When the airline manager mentioned the four seasons, the staffer
said it was too expensive. The airline manager responded, why
does he care, He's not going to pay. His name
won't be on anything either. Staffer responded, super u.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
There was also a weird I don't know if the
timing of this is worth looking into, but Alexandrio Cosio
Cortes yesterday, before the indictment came out, had tweeted that
Mayor Eric Adams should resign.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Before the indictment came out.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now that's partly because there's been a series of other
federal investigations. I mean, this may end up being part
of the original one, but fire commissioners have stepped down,
Police commissioners have been targeted, some of his campaign finance
people have been targeted all around. Sort of the concentric
circles around Mayor Adams then got closer and closer until
(13:21):
yesterday's indictment was announced.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
The prosecutor here, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan who
brought this case, Damian Williams is his name, and Biden
appointed him in twenty twenty one, and he said from
the outset that his mission was crystal clear to be
fiercely independent of politics. So it looks like this guy
is trying to make a name for himself as well.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
One of the other.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Stories that was circulating yesterday is that Mayor Adams believe
the reason he was indicted was because he fought back
against the immigration policies of the Biden administration, that the
reason that there were so many migrants that were being
released New York was because of Biden White House Biden
administration policies, and that he didn't like it and started
(14:06):
was a vocal opponent of it, and that that's why
he believes the Department of Justice came after him.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
This prosecutor is fascinating. He may be the new rising
star Damian Williams. He's only forty four. He's got degrees
from Harvard, Cambridge, and Yale. First black person to lead
the Federal Prosecutor's office in Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He was the one who did the Shaun Combs indictment too.
Oh wow. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
They say that he reads people, he reads rooms, He
takes it all in. Those are scary people.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Huge roundup applause for our engineer Bert, who's here very regularly.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Bert. I'm a little bit worried about you. I haven't
seen you eat anything yet. Is it time for steak? Almost?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Good? Good good.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
The guy weighs one hundred and eleven pounds when he
walks out of here, Hill weigh one hundred and forty seven.
Based on the amount of food that he's going to eat.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I said, you know, it's not nice. Pedro's want to
call him steakface. We would never I would never do that.
That's awful, awful.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
God's name.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
You gave him a name, Bert, didn't He yes for the
reason the Lord did give him a name. Burt I
said to Bert a moment ago in the break, I said, hey, uh,
some people are saying that my voice sounds different than Shannon's,
that this sounds like I'm in a different place.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And he said, well, that's because she's a woman.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
That's our engineer for you.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
What's going on, guys, I'm out here a truck driving
in Bakersfield. Absolutely nothing up here but dirt.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Where's the honks?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Crackheads?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
But yeah, I thought that Shannon was going to have
a cougar moment talking about virgins, but she was talking
about new people.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Gross, where's the honk?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You can't be a truck.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Norah brought me in a stuffed octopus. That's so great,
isn't this so cute?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Pentacles?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
We will we do strange science on Thursdays and we'll
get into the story.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
We alluded to.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
It yesterday or the day before about octopus punching fish
that it works with like getting the fish in line.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
They're very smart OCTOPI and I looked at the trailer
for my teacher the octopus or what have you? My
octopus teacher, My octopus teacher man. The trailer almost brought
me to tears. I'm gonna have to get into that alone.
That's one of those things you watch alone, I think, right.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I don't do. I don't watch shows that make me
watch it alone. Well, if I watch a show, well.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You ruin things. Your wife watches things alone because you
ruin them with your presence. It's for all women.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
We're all like that.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I think it's not about you. It's just that we
need to take in things that are emotional or what
like this is us. I had to watch that by
myself because I just I'm a blubbering idiot.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Hurricane Helene, this.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Is nice that you let that one go. You just
let that one go.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
It's like you walk right into him, and I just
feel bad slamming the door. So, Hurricane Helene currently a
Category two hurricane wind speeds of one hundred miles an hour.
It is expected to make landfall sometime tonight at least
a category three. When it makes landfall, that of course,
is going to bring what they say would be devastating damage.
The National Hurricane Center has been using the term unsurvivable
(17:24):
when describing the storm surge of an expected twenty feet
or so. And we've Actually we reached out and said, hey,
if you're listening, if you are in the throat of
Florida or anywhere along that west coast or in the Panhandle,
to let us know how things are going. And Maggie
has been leaving us regular messages for upday.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Morning, Gary and Shannon and everyone at News that morus.
This is Maggie from the throat of Florida.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
We've got partly cloudy, some fun.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Some wind is probably the bigger issue.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Not very Wendy. Glad to hear you appreciate the tasa Howitzka.
I think it's a river basin.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Here's another phone for you.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Try it with Lacucci.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yes, this is real.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
It's a river here.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
We love it all right, have a good morning, guys.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
With you with Lacucci.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Sign Maggie up. She's a great meteorologist. I will have
reports from Maggie all day and tomorrow, I hope. So.
I don't want to spend a ton of time on this,
because I just talked about how I don't want to
spend a ton of time on the Diddy story. It's gross,
But what was mildly comical? If there's anything comical to
be taken from this was his attorney's response to those
(18:28):
thousand bottles of baby oil. The attorney says, he has
a big house. He buys in bulk. I think they
have costcos in every place where he has a home.
That was his excuse. He said, have you sat in
the parking lot of a costco and see what people
walk out of there with? And then he addressed the
(18:51):
subject of the freak offs. They called them freakoffs. But
you know, he says, back when I was a kid
in the late seventies, they were called threesomes. That's not
what's trolling, Okay, it's just gross.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Wait a minute, So he was a kid in the
late seventies, right, so we'll say teenagers will give him.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The beep having a threesome.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Sixty We'll say he was born in sixty four, Okay, so.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
That would make him a kid.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Well, let's say sixty two, because then he's eighteen in
nineteen eighty, so he could still say he's still a kid.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
He's born in sixty two. This guy is now sixty
two years old.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Oh gross, and he's telling you about baby kid. Yeah,
all right, moving on, let's move on, guys. Yeah, who
wants a T shirt. Okay, here, here you go, sir.
It's a large. You're good with large? Yeah? I do
have an extra larch. You're tossing that one back. There
you go.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
You do you in your vanity sizing? Are you good
for a large? It looks great on you.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Are there any bosses in the building like you employ
other people?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Bosses? Right, don't say you're the boss of him that
doesn't care.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I love it. There are so few bosses, which means
you all stuck it to the man today. Yeah, congratulations,
I love it.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Shall we one? Two?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Three? Happy birthday?
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
All right, cheers Melissa, Thanks for spending some time on
your birthday with us.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Welcome. All right.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
So we have talked before about gen Z we like
making fun of gen Z because we're not gen.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Z, and bosses have said that.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
According to a new report, six in ten bosses six
and ten employers said they've already had to fire some
of their gen Z workers that they just hired out
of college within the last couple of months.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
The gripe with young people today lack of motivation or initiative,
and it's one of the things that really bothers me
just across the board when people are not proactive or
just don't want to do their job, which is just like,
you do your job right, right, But when you don't
want to do your job and you're not proactive about it,
(22:49):
it drives me insane.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
They said that they're unprepared, they're unprofessional. Why are you
looking directly at me when you say that?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Fifty percent of the leaders said that that lack of
motivation or initiative was the reason that the things didn't
work out with their new high Port.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Communication is the other thing. I mean, we talked about this.
There was a study out that there was a huge
number of gen Z that is too I'm not going
to say anxious, but doesn't want to order a pizza,
like doesn't want to call on the phone.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
To order a pizza, do it on the computer, and
then track how long it's going to be in your
face because it's terrifying to make a phone call. Yeah,
more than half of hiring managers have said the conclusion
that college grads are unprepared for the world of work.
Twenty percent say they can't even handle the workload. And
we're talking about entry level positions that these college grads
(23:40):
are getting into. Colleges know that there are they're kicking
out students that are unprepared. Some of them have started
stepping up to fill this gap. For example, MSU Michigan
State University is now teaching students how to handle a
networking conversation, how to look for signs that the person
you're talking to is starting to get bored and that
(24:03):
it's time to move on.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You know what that Well, that's annoying too, that the
person you're talking to gets bored. What is it? What
is it a nine year old kid during summer? Well,
I mean get bored. Well, I mean it's I do
this though, like I do this with my boss, and
I know I do this and I should stop doing it,
but I do show visual cues of boredom when when
a meeting goes too long.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
But but you don't even grab my keys.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
You don't wait for that. You don't wait for the
meeting to go long. You sit and never take your
purse off your shoulder.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
In fact, the last meeting we had, it started with
put your purse down, put your stuff down. This is
gonna take longer than five minutes. But I was ready
for it. I had blocked an hour. I was ready
to sit down and focus. Part of it is it's
usually after the show and we're like kind of talked out.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, right, there's a good there's a good thirty forty
five minutes of absolute silence that takes place at one o'clock,
I think in both of our worlds. Yeah, when we
say goodbye, if we go separate ways in the parking garage,
it's like this, right, a little wave of the hand,
no verbal, nothing other.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Than the guys we'll say bye.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
The guy in the elevator yesterday, Oh yeah, checking you out?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
No? Yeah, yes, I was carrying a big box of wine.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Did you tell your husband about this story? No, let
me text him.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
He's here.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I'll still text.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Okay, So I'm carrying this big box of wine because
somebody didn't offer to help.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I was in it.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
That's what we all have to do this when we
come back because I have a conundrum.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Okay, it's not that I was just rude.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
It's okay, I can handle it. I just it was weird.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
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 Wonderful Thursday Morning. It is.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
That's not course life.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
That is a vodkatonic No set it up. Okay, all right, Hey,
we're not promoting drinking at nine. I'm just identifying what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Everybody, be safe, yeah, but have a great time today.
We are alive today for our news and Bruise at
Bjay's Restaurant in brew House here in Huntington Beach once again.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Arguably one of the funnest places that we do this.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
And we've had a couple of I've already had a
couple of people come up and say this is their
first news and Bruce so Evan for example, Evan, this
is his first news and Bruce, thanks for coming out.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Welcome. That is amazing. We love Virgin News and Bruce people.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
We will be out here until one pm today. So
if you find yourself in the Huntington Beach area, it's
easy to get to right off the four h five
there at Edinger Beach Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Plenty of parking, You've got Bob's discount furniture across the way,
the great deals in there.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I mean not to brag, but we're technically in the
Huntington Beach Executive Park.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh I feel fancy.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
That's where we are today.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So the magic number is to take that Padres fans,
let's go with this NL West winning tonight. Everyone is crooked,
Thank you, Eric Adams.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Shouldn't they have achieved the whole claiming the Nationals like, you.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Can't have this conversation as a Giants fan. You have
to sit this one out. But it'd be nice to
get that buye.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
To if they're lucky. They're not lucky, James Left.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
This is not lucky.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's okay, that's right. I can see the tension in
your face.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Everyone everyone is crooked. Is everyone in government crooked? I
think they are. I think they get in not to
do any good for people. They get in to see
how they can take crooked money.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, the jury's still out on Eric over here.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I wasn't surprised how I has, and I wasn't surprised
when I saw that news today, which was sad in itself, right,
the fact that I'm not surprised that he was taking
kickbacks and free flights and traveling, all of that. I
kind of just expected out of all these people who
allegedly get in it to do the work of the people.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Please, that's never the case. No, never the case.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Like we've said, the people that we want to be
politicians don't want to get involved.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Why would they, right, why would anybody want to sit
through the rigamarole, the turmoil if you ran for an office,
the incredible invasion of privacy that people would impose upon you.
But the big deal today unsurvivable, unsurvivable. The big deal
today is going to be Hurricane Helene as it bears
down on Florida.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Here's a reporter that's in tallahasseen.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I remember Hurricane Adalia caused significant flooding in this area.
Flooding always an issue here, So that's why officials are
so concerned with this one. Transportation getting out of Tampa
is also increasingly becoming difficult. Tampa International Airport shutdown this
morning to commercial and cargo traffic at two am. It's
expected to remain closed until Friday.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
They say it's going to be a twenty foot storm surge.
That's the appropriate response has been insane. Yesterday when they
said ten feet and I'm thinking, oh my, that's a
wall of storm. That's a wall. There are now twenty feet.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
There are houses that will disappear.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
They showed pictures of I think it was after Hurricane Michael,
where the storm surge was about twelve feet in some areas,
and I mean entire neighborhoods are gone.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
As a result of that.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
This is Governor Ron De Santis of Florida, who listen.
He's awkward at times, but he handles these hurricanes and
natural disasters pretty well.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Every minute that goes by brings us closer to having
conditions that are going to be simply too dangerous to navigate.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, So he's basically been telling people every news conference
that he does. The last news conference was the time
to leave. You're running out of time.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Wait another six hours, seven hours and say, oh man,
this thing looks big and think that.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You're gonna want to go out. That would be very
hazardous to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Where was that guy right that was whoever did something
to him, whatever handlers he had, really screwed him up.
Because if he was just himself, is kind of not
super socially, yes, it would have been fine. Because he's
(04:27):
when he talks like a normal person. He sounds like
a normal person. Maybe not the most affable person, but
whatever they did to him that was.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
But again, they don't have to be affable. I just
want him to do his job.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
And if he's good at rebuilding a state after a
hurricane blasts through it or punches it in the throat,
like I said the other day, then let's get him.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Let's get him elected.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I like reading some of these names of the places
that'll get hit hard, Apple, Asha, Cola. And then this one.
I'll let you have this one.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Chessa, chessa? How witska?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Chessa? How witska? That's fun to say.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That's a new thing to me.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
All right, So we know that Helene right now now
is a category two expected to make landfall at least
as a category three later tonight. They have said anywhere
from nine o'clock tonight Florida time to midnight, maybe even
passed it, that it's going to make landfall there right
along the Panhandle in a couple of different places. So
the National Weather Service in Tallahassee is forecasting, like she said,
(05:20):
the storm surge of up to twenty feet.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
But that's right along the coast.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Tallahassee's inland by quite a ways, and Tallahassee will still
see the effects likely of even a Category two hurricane,
which would I believe be the strongest hurricane to ever
hit the still maintain that strength.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
When it's over Tallahassee. And then I have friends.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I talked to friends yesterday in Tennessee. They're getting ready
for what will what it will be by the time
he gets to Tennessee and parts north of there, sometimes
Saturday and to Sunday, it's just going to be an
absolute mess baseball games. Listen, the end of the season
is upon us. This is the last weekend of the
regular season. And the Mets and the Brave we're supposed
to play yesterday and they're supposed to play today. Both
(06:04):
of those games have been postponed ahead of time. They're
going to play them in a regular doubleheader on Monday,
they hope, assuming and they're.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
To those games.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
The playoffs.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I was just gonna say, do those mean anything?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, that's why they're going to redo them or they're
going to do them. They've postponed them because they do
matter when it comes to when it comes to wildcard
et cetera.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I just started paying attention to baseball this morning, I know,
and I was shocked that the Brewers have put together
such a nice season. Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I like the bru I've always liked the Brewers. They're great,
They're a fun team, they're good, they're young.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I've always liked them because, for the most part, you
can get a Dodgers Brewers game on a Tuesday for
near nothing, you know, nothing.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, live today once again down in the rc or
a Huntington Beach at the Vjay's Restaurant, a brew house
on Beach Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I see forty nine er fans here. Warms my hearts.
Look at is that a brock Purty Jersey? Did he
handle things? I mean, I know they lost in the
fourth quarter, but he looked good. He may do with
nothing all those stars out.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
He's like thirty four years old now and he's been
in the league for twelve years or something.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
But that's the way he acted.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yes, yes, he acted like a Kirk Cousins. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Too old, too old.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
The bad news internationally just one of the stories that
we have been following, of course, is that Israel looks
like it's a bit closer to a ground invasion of Lebanon.
We have been watching that one obviously pretty closely. Vice
President Harris on the campaign trail, is going to visit
the border during a campaign rally in Arizona tomorrow. The
last time she visited the border with Mexico was back
(07:36):
in two thousand.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And twenty one.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
There is also an update to I don't know nobody's
been paying attention to this, but the ditty story right, Sean.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Combs gets popped.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
He's in jail, awful awful things that he's been accused of.
Fittycent Curtis Jackson.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Cracks me up.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Has hated Sean Combs for a long time and they've
been going at it for a while. He is putting
the money up for Netflix to do an entire documentary
series on Diddy.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Who wants to watch that? I don't have any appetite
for that.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
He started this back in December when it was just
four lawsuits and no federal indictment.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I mean, I have a hard time reading through the details,
the sordid details of what happened. It makes me sad
and grossed out. Speaking of sad and grossed out, the
Oakland Coliseum today, the last game the A's will play there.
There was an article in the New York Times, and
I love the way that this was put. It's a
really well written article start to finish. But they made
(08:43):
a great point, and I'll find the author as soon
as I read this part. The Coliseum one of the
nation's final examples of a sports stadium designed for people
to simply watch sports in. It is grungy, unpretentious and cheap.
And that is a exactly the Coliseum. And you know
what you think about all the new stadiums, and that's
(09:03):
exactly right, with the massive jumbo trons and all of
the things designed to have a complete fan experience, and
it's all great, but that's the that's the dying the
dead after today example of just watching the game.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
But it was never well, I mean to your point,
it was never comfortable.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
No, there was never supposed to be comfortable.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
About comfort at all watching those games.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
That game, by the way, is at twelve thirty today,
so okay, they'll be a bright daylight when people start
marauding the field and tearing the seats out of the stadium.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
They've had well, they started yesterday. A couple tried to
leave with a couple of the seats. They did not.
They've had a MLB low attendance like ten thousand or
whatever all season because the fans have protested. Until today
it's a sellout. Yeah, there's like sixty five thousand. Yeah, yes, yes,
I think they had.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Thirty or something yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
All right, So on the other coast in New York City,
they were yelling for Mayor Eric Adams to resign'd we're
d We got news last night that Mayor Adams it
was indicted.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
We now know why. They unsealed the charges today.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
He allegedly took ten million dollars in illegal campaign contributions
and bribes, including free flights and other ritzy perks, all
from foreign nationals in exchange for some favors. This was
a five count indictment. It's the first, which is kind
of I never would have said this, but it's the
first against a sitting mayor in the city of New York.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
And what a rising star until this morning, formerly rising, Yeah,
crashing to this, crashing to the sky. So they said
he took one hundred thousand dollars. He used his powers
to help Turkey. He has insisted he was innocent, I
asked New Yorkers, he says, to wait to hear our
defense and a news conference, but they raided his home.
(10:58):
And Richard Brifoldt is a professor at Columbia he read
the indictment called the allegations lurid, so that if some
of the facts in the indictment are true, they clearly
show Adams violated New York City ethics rules and then
tried to cover his tracks. It's all about the cover
up every time.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
So the government of Turkey, or at least Turkish nationals,
gave him all kinds of money to underwrite.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
His campaign from a few years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
They gave him hotel rooms, they gave him flights on
the Turkish airlines, etc. Meals at these high end restaurants,
and allegedly in this indictment, it says that he was
then pressuring New York.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
City officials to waive some of the.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Inspections and push through approval for things like the Turkish consulate.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
In Manhattan, among other things. So he had come out
last night.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I don't know if you saw that the video he
put out, he basically said the reason they're coming after me.
Now does this sound familiar from the other side. The
reason they're coming after me is because I'm fighting for you.
That's what Eric Adams said.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh, they're all fighting for us. Somebody said they're fighting
for us.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yes, while they're eating you know, thousand dollars meals, you know,
some Turkish restaurants.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
While they're battling their legal issues. They're now all of
our legal issues. So the undisclosed travel benefits date back
as far as twenty sixteen a trip to India. For
one trip, Adam staffer booked for Turkey, a reservation made
on the day of the Democratic primary. The staffer asked
the airline manager where Adams should stay while he's there.
(12:30):
When the airline manager mentioned the four seasons, the staffer
said it was too expensive. The airline manager responded, why
does he care, He's not going to pay. His name
won't be on anything either. Staffer responded, super u.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
There was also a weird I don't know if the
timing of this is worth looking into, but Alexandrio Cosio
Cortes yesterday, before the indictment came out, had tweeted that
Mayor Eric Adams should resign.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Before the indictment came out.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now that's partly because there's been a series of other
federal investigations. I mean, this may end up being part
of the original one, but fire commissioners have stepped down,
Police commissioners have been targeted, some of his campaign finance
people have been targeted all around. Sort of the concentric
circles around Mayor Adams then got closer and closer until
(13:21):
yesterday's indictment was announced.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
The prosecutor here, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan who
brought this case, Damian Williams is his name, and Biden
appointed him in twenty twenty one, and he said from
the outset that his mission was crystal clear to be
fiercely independent of politics. So it looks like this guy
is trying to make a name for himself as well.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
One of the other.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Stories that was circulating yesterday is that Mayor Adams believe
the reason he was indicted was because he fought back
against the immigration policies of the Biden administration, that the
reason that there were so many migrants that were being
released New York was because of Biden White House Biden
administration policies, and that he didn't like it and started
(14:06):
was a vocal opponent of it, and that that's why
he believes the Department of Justice came after him.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
This prosecutor is fascinating. He may be the new rising
star Damian Williams. He's only forty four. He's got degrees
from Harvard, Cambridge, and Yale. First black person to lead
the Federal Prosecutor's office in Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He was the one who did the Shaun Combs indictment too.
Oh wow. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
They say that he reads people, he reads rooms, He
takes it all in. Those are scary people.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Huge roundup applause for our engineer Bert, who's here very regularly.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Bert. I'm a little bit worried about you. I haven't
seen you eat anything yet. Is it time for steak? Almost?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Good? Good good.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
The guy weighs one hundred and eleven pounds when he
walks out of here, Hill weigh one hundred and forty seven.
Based on the amount of food that he's going to eat.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I said, you know, it's not nice. Pedro's want to
call him steakface. We would never I would never do that.
That's awful, awful.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
God's name.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
You gave him a name, Bert, didn't He yes for the
reason the Lord did give him a name. Burt I
said to Bert a moment ago in the break, I said, hey, uh,
some people are saying that my voice sounds different than Shannon's,
that this sounds like I'm in a different place.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And he said, well, that's because she's a woman.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
That's our engineer for you.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
What's going on, guys, I'm out here a truck driving
in Bakersfield. Absolutely nothing up here but dirt.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Where's the honks?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Crackheads?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
But yeah, I thought that Shannon was going to have
a cougar moment talking about virgins, but she was talking
about new people.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Gross, where's the honk?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You can't be a truck.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Norah brought me in a stuffed octopus. That's so great,
isn't this so cute?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Pentacles?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
We will we do strange science on Thursdays and we'll
get into the story.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
We alluded to.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
It yesterday or the day before about octopus punching fish
that it works with like getting the fish in line.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
They're very smart OCTOPI and I looked at the trailer
for my teacher the octopus or what have you? My
octopus teacher, My octopus teacher man. The trailer almost brought
me to tears. I'm gonna have to get into that alone.
That's one of those things you watch alone, I think, right.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I don't do. I don't watch shows that make me
watch it alone. Well, if I watch a show, well.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You ruin things. Your wife watches things alone because you
ruin them with your presence. It's for all women.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
We're all like that.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I think it's not about you. It's just that we
need to take in things that are emotional or what
like this is us. I had to watch that by
myself because I just I'm a blubbering idiot.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Hurricane Helene, this.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Is nice that you let that one go. You just
let that one go.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
It's like you walk right into him, and I just
feel bad slamming the door. So, Hurricane Helene currently a
Category two hurricane wind speeds of one hundred miles an hour.
It is expected to make landfall sometime tonight at least
a category three. When it makes landfall, that of course,
is going to bring what they say would be devastating damage.
The National Hurricane Center has been using the term unsurvivable
(17:24):
when describing the storm surge of an expected twenty feet
or so. And we've Actually we reached out and said, hey,
if you're listening, if you are in the throat of
Florida or anywhere along that west coast or in the Panhandle,
to let us know how things are going. And Maggie
has been leaving us regular messages for upday.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Morning, Gary and Shannon and everyone at News that morus.
This is Maggie from the throat of Florida.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
We've got partly cloudy, some fun.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Some wind is probably the bigger issue.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Not very Wendy. Glad to hear you appreciate the tasa Howitzka.
I think it's a river basin.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Here's another phone for you.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Try it with Lacucci.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yes, this is real.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
It's a river here.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
We love it all right, have a good morning, guys.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
With you with Lacucci.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Sign Maggie up. She's a great meteorologist. I will have
reports from Maggie all day and tomorrow, I hope. So.
I don't want to spend a ton of time on this,
because I just talked about how I don't want to
spend a ton of time on the Diddy story. It's gross,
But what was mildly comical? If there's anything comical to
be taken from this was his attorney's response to those
(18:28):
thousand bottles of baby oil. The attorney says, he has
a big house. He buys in bulk. I think they
have costcos in every place where he has a home.
That was his excuse. He said, have you sat in
the parking lot of a costco and see what people
walk out of there with? And then he addressed the
(18:51):
subject of the freak offs. They called them freakoffs. But
you know, he says, back when I was a kid
in the late seventies, they were called threesomes. That's not
what's trolling, Okay, it's just gross.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Wait a minute, So he was a kid in the
late seventies, right, so we'll say teenagers will give him.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The beep having a threesome.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Sixty We'll say he was born in sixty four, Okay, so.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
That would make him a kid.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Well, let's say sixty two, because then he's eighteen in
nineteen eighty, so he could still say he's still a kid.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
He's born in sixty two. This guy is now sixty
two years old.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Oh gross, and he's telling you about baby kid. Yeah,
all right, moving on, let's move on, guys. Yeah, who
wants a T shirt. Okay, here, here you go, sir.
It's a large. You're good with large? Yeah? I do
have an extra larch. You're tossing that one back. There
you go.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
You do you in your vanity sizing? Are you good
for a large? It looks great on you.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Are there any bosses in the building like you employ
other people?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Bosses? Right, don't say you're the boss of him that
doesn't care.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I love it. There are so few bosses, which means
you all stuck it to the man today. Yeah, congratulations,
I love it.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Fake diarrhea. What time does BJ's usually open? Eleven?

H Shannon and Gary.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I'm here at BJ's.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
It's my birthday.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I'm way back here in the corner in a booth
of my girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Anyway, can you give me a shout out?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
It's Melissa, Melissa Mallly birthday.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Let's sing to Melissa?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Shall we one? Two?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Three? Happy birthday?
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
All right, cheers Melissa, Thanks for spending some time on
your birthday with us.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Welcome. All right.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
So we have talked before about gen Z we like
making fun of gen Z because we're not gen.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Z, and bosses have said that.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
According to a new report, six in ten bosses six
and ten employers said they've already had to fire some
of their gen Z workers that they just hired out
of college within the last couple of months.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
The gripe with young people today lack of motivation or initiative,
and it's one of the things that really bothers me
just across the board when people are not proactive or
just don't want to do their job, which is just like,
you do your job right, right, But when you don't
want to do your job and you're not proactive about it,
(22:49):
it drives me insane.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
They said that they're unprepared, they're unprofessional. Why are you
looking directly at me when you say that?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Fifty percent of the leaders said that that lack of
motivation or initiative was the reason that the things didn't
work out with their new high Port.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Communication is the other thing. I mean, we talked about this.
There was a study out that there was a huge
number of gen Z that is too I'm not going
to say anxious, but doesn't want to order a pizza,
like doesn't want to call on the phone.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
To order a pizza, do it on the computer, and
then track how long it's going to be in your
face because it's terrifying to make a phone call. Yeah,
more than half of hiring managers have said the conclusion
that college grads are unprepared for the world of work.
Twenty percent say they can't even handle the workload. And
we're talking about entry level positions that these college grads
(23:40):
are getting into. Colleges know that there are they're kicking
out students that are unprepared. Some of them have started
stepping up to fill this gap. For example, MSU Michigan
State University is now teaching students how to handle a
networking conversation, how to look for signs that the person
you're talking to is starting to get bored and that
(24:03):
it's time to move on.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You know what that Well, that's annoying too, that the
person you're talking to gets bored. What is it? What
is it a nine year old kid during summer? Well,
I mean get bored. Well, I mean it's I do
this though, like I do this with my boss, and
I know I do this and I should stop doing it,
but I do show visual cues of boredom when when
a meeting goes too long.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
But but you don't even grab my keys.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
You don't wait for that. You don't wait for the
meeting to go long. You sit and never take your
purse off your shoulder.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
In fact, the last meeting we had, it started with
put your purse down, put your stuff down. This is
gonna take longer than five minutes. But I was ready
for it. I had blocked an hour. I was ready
to sit down and focus. Part of it is it's
usually after the show and we're like kind of talked out.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Yeah, right, there's a good there's a good thirty forty
five minutes of absolute silence that takes place at one o'clock,
I think in both of our worlds. Yeah, when we
say goodbye, if we go separate ways in the parking garage,
it's like this, right, a little wave of the hand,
no verbal, nothing other.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Than the guys we'll say bye.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
The guy in the elevator yesterday, Oh yeah, checking you out?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
No? Yeah, yes, I was carrying a big box of wine.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Did you tell your husband about this story? No, let
me text him.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
He's here.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I'll still text.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Okay, So I'm carrying this big box of wine because
somebody didn't offer to help.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I was in it.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
That's what we all have to do this when we
come back because I have a conundrum.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Okay, it's not that I was just rude.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
It's okay, I can handle it. I just it was weird.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
