Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to k
i AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Our son came to visit us,
Gary Cam six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Hey Jamison, thanks for stopping by. You know, maybe one
day he'll be old enough to share a beer with us.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Someday.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Isn't that the dream?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
It is the dream, sitting down with your son having
a Bruce.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I have a beer with myself yesternight.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Well, I remember when you first had a beer with
him and you were all excited about it.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I remember when he was reluctant to have a beer
with me.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
That's good. I guess that's good. We have a couple
people who have let us know.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Via the talkback feature that they're upset they don't get
to be here today, Gary and Shannon.

Speaker 5 (00:49):
I wanted to come see you at News and Bruce
today and my wife would not drive me up here
from Shannon.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
He go cool.

Speaker 5 (00:56):
I just love you, Shannon. You make me laugh, you
make me cry, you make me just be silly, silly,
and I can't wait to meet you. Sorry, I'm not
at DJs today. Have a great day, guys, love you.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Oh she sounded legit, sad.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
I want to know the part where you make her cry,
though I don't know how to feel about that. Well,
sometimes I laughed so hard on this show that I cry,
So maybe it's a laugh cry thing.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Maybe it's a good cry.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Maybe maybe it is.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, Helene, we are watching, of course, Hurricane Helene. Category
two Hurricane Florida is where it's going to be making landfall,
but we don't know exactly where. They say the Big
Bend area it's going to get bad, and then it's
going to make things life bad in places like Georgia
and Tennessee, North Carolina as it makes its way farther north.

(01:45):
So that's something we're going to be watching for the
next couple of the next couple of days, as we
get the storm as it comes on.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
There's a weird story that's actually going on right now
in Hollywood.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
There's a Hollywood Walk of Famed Star ceremony for Batman.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Like Michael Keaton, no Batman.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Batman, Batman, the character Batman, but which don't.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Say character, you make it sound like he's.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Not real, which Batman?

Speaker 4 (02:21):
So they said that the ceremony is right now in
front of the Hollywood Ginnis World Records Museum on Hollywood.
The star is actually going to be next to the
Adam West Star. Adam West, of course, played Batman back.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
In the sixties.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Do people still visit la and want to go to
the Hollywood Walk of Stars?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
I feel like that.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Died in the early nineties.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Well have you holly awful? Have you been?

Speaker 3 (02:48):
I lived there, so.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I took my son one time. We went to go see.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Something at the pante I think we saw Stomp at
the Pantae, just one iteration of stomp him and I
wanted to take him. He's probably thirteen or fourteen at
the time. I wanted to take him on Hollywood Boulevard
and walk past the Bill Handle Star.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
That was your first mistake of the Hollywood Walk of.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Face because because it was a good memory for me,
I was there that day. I got to give a
speech and everything for the for his induction, and we
walked as we got farther away from the panta just
down towards where the star was, it just gets darker
and darker, and the street lights are out, and you
walk past doorways and You're like, was that a person

(03:32):
that's are and we just turned around. I said, it's
it's imagine this star, but it's got the bill handle name.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's down there.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
We're going home. And we turned around and went back.
That's not what it used to be.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
No, it is not.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Did we open up swamp Watch yet?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
No, but we can.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Let's do it.

Speaker 6 (03:48):
Swamp is horrible, man, We're.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Gonna make this like a reality TV show, A bad noos.
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Hey, Joe a town hall who clearly built on a
swamp and in so many ways still a swamp.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
I have to watch of Malwarkee well, he said, drained
the swamp.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I said, oh, that's so he keepsh you know the thing. Well,
it's definitely swampy in New York City today, this is
the big political story. The sitting mayor of New York,
Eric Adams, allegedly took over one hundred thousand dollars and

(04:28):
used his powers to help Turkey. He has insisted he
is innocent. He said, I asked New Yorkers to wait
to hear our defense. But as we know, when it
comes to the FEDS, they make sure their teas are
crossed and their eyes are dotted before they come forward
with these indictments. This one is fifty seven pages and
it is it is widespread. It seems like he's nailed.

(04:52):
It seems like he's nailed, Like when you read through
some of the specific paragraphs in here about staffers saying
things like writing to the Turkey counterpart one hundred K,
do you have a chance to transfer that here? We
can't do it while Eric is in Turkey. I mean,
they weren't even clever and they didn't even ask what

(05:13):
they were trying to do.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Those are not code works.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
It was plazy.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
In twenty fourteen, they say when Eric Adams became a
Brooklyn Borough president is when all of this started. So
it's been going on for years and not just since
he's been since he's been the mayor.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Although when you are the mayor, those.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Checks tend to be bigger than when you're just the
Bureau of Borough president.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
His press conference today was interrupted several times by protesters
from Black Lives Matter Greater New York, who shouted.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Abuse of power. You are a.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Disgrace to David Dinkins, of course, the city's first black mayor,
next to him, though, were black members of the church,
leaders of community groups, some influential mentors as well. He
said during this twenty minute news conference, everyone who knows
me knows that I follow the campaign rules and I
follow the law.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Now, it's not as egregious, I think, as what we
saw with Senator Bob Menendez out of New Jersey, where
he's literally getting stacks of cash or a Mercedes or
gold bars that he's then hiding in his closet. This
is But when you look at the list of the
things like an upgrade to business class, an upgrade to
first class, free business class tickets on a round trip

(06:26):
New York to China at about sixteen thousand plus for
each one.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
And these things are the value of.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Them ten fifteen, twenty thousand dollars whatever it is. When
you add them up, it's millions. And none of it
was disclosed. And that's part of the problem.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Does that make things better when it comes to public
perception that it seems like it's flight upgrades and not
stacks of cash and Mercedes and things like that.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Well, I think he has a better argument of convincing
some people, not many, I hope, but some people that
This was just part of the job.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
This is one of the things that he has to do.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
When a government official flies in an airplane, I mean
flies commercially, they probably want to go first class because
they don't want to be bothered by people like us,
you know, who pay their bills and vote for them
every couple of years.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
So you could argue, or he could make the argument.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Listen, I had to go business class because I'm still
the mayor of one of the largest cities in the world,
one of the most important cities in the world, and
I still had.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Business to do.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
But they said that he received more than ten million
dollars in matching funds as a result of phony certifications
for things like the small, small dollar donations the city's
matching funds programs. Ten million dollars went into his pocket
the whole time.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeay, a lot of meats out there.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
It's a strong meat state. It really is strong meat state. Reminder,
of course, a Dodgers plate. Tonight they take on the
Padres a Dodgers state, and first pitch is coming up
at seven o'clock tonight. Listen every play on AM five

Speaker 4 (08:16):
In a few minutes, we actually are going to be
talking more about the upcoming air show.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Look at this poor that is that's like what I
do at home.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
You could swim in that.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
The Pacific Air Show is coming up, and we'll be
talking with executive director Kevin Elliott, friend of the show,
in a few minutes. But I also wanted to play
this if you remember from last.

Speaker 7 (08:38):
Year, Hugarian Shannon, this is Lisa. I love your show.
I'm calling from Monterey and the Thunderbirds are back, and
I wanted to let you know that over a year
ago you had an interview with Major Korn, who wrote
Upside Down Dreams. Well, I just read that book to
my son's pre K classroom and they absolutely so thank

(09:01):
you so much.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
She was awesome.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Major Curran, of course, Michelle Kurran and Skyler White wrote
this book called Upside Down Dreams. The story written four
girls with big dreams looking for real uh for a
real world heroine, not looking for real world heroin for a.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Real world. That's not what I'm meant today.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Anyway, We'll be talking more about that coming up a
little bit later.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Hoda copies out. Did you see that I did?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
What was the reason for her leaving?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
The time?

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Though?

Speaker 2 (09:33):
It's time?

Speaker 4 (09:34):
She said, she decided that after more than two decades
at the Today Show, she's gonna leave.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
How long has this show been going on?

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Our show?

Speaker 6 (09:43):
This?

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (09:46):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (09:46):
I like your bracelet?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (09:47):
I got it from for Lily. I'm gonna I'm gonna
blow your mind here.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
October twelfth is the birth day of this show, right,
this show will be nine years old next month. Wow?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Wait, wait, wait?

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Is Dennis going to be here.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
For our night birthday? That's not funny.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
I think it's a little funny, but it's not funny.
Cowboys Giants tonight for Thursday night football?

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Anybody care? Who's gonna it's.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Always a good game.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
It's always fun with the Cowboys and the Giants. The
Giants don't look better like that young wide receiver they've
got actually making Daniel.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Jones look good.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
The one guy Malik Neighbors is that his name?

Speaker 4 (10:37):
Oh yeah, that's not gay Neighbors related to Gabe Now they.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Spell their name right though they're the same. I should say.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Vice President Harris is going to visit the border ring campaign.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
How did you pull that name so tomorrow? What do
you mean.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Neighbors who used to play for the Chargers. Yeah, that's
just an obscure player and you just picked that up.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
That obscure. His last name is Neighbors, Okay, but it's
not spelled like a neighbor.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
No.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
No, and neither is Malik neighbors last name.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
That's why I said they spelled it together. We parents
should have done this off the air.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yes, but I still think this is not plaid. But
I'll give it. That's fine. Vice President Harris is going
to visit.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
The border during a campaign rally in Arizona tomorrow. She
last visited the border in twenty twenty one. That's one
of the things that she's doing. We also know that
she is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski
at the White House and then later join President Biden
for a speech on gun violence. Not quite sure what

(11:36):
they're going to say during a campaign event today yesterday, sorry.
In North Carolina, Donald Trump criticized Vladimir Zelensky as a
man who refused to make a deal to try to
end the war that was started by Russia. Trump is
planning to deliver remarks to the media in New York
this afternoon.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Matt Gates said today he will no longer voluntarily cooperate
with a House ethics committee. That they're being uncomfortably nosy.
They're asking too many questions about his sex life and
potential drug usage.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Hmmm.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
Is that a good sign when you can just decide
that you don't?

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Sorry I took that out.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
But I needed to get this onexpert.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Is it a good sign when you when you think
people looking into you doing bad things are asking questions
about you doing bad things?

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, Rudy Giuliani news who wants it? Who woke up
this morning and said, I wonder what Rudy Giuliani's up to.
He has been permanently disbarred now in Washington, d C.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Of course, accused of ethics breaches.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
While representing Trump during the twenty twenty election fight.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
This this happened in New York as well.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
We haven't heard about Tim Scott in a while, the
Senator from South Carolina, and.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
I had he's we've spoken before.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
About him, and he was always an seems like a
really nice guy, not necessarily for the national stage politically,
but he has been a surrogate for the Trump campaign
and this is something I can get behind one thousand percent.
He's holding a financial literacy event that the Trump campaign
is sponsoring, and the event is going to focus on

(13:16):
trying to integrate financial education into K through twelve schools
for the first not just economics in terms of who
was Adam CDP, but economics for people, for households, for
every single day. They want to encourage communities to promote
financial literacy, particularly in areas with black and brown student populations,

(13:40):
and that's why they're going to use Tim Scott to
say that. But it is one of those things that
I think is woefully under taught when it comes to
kids in whatever level of school.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
We don't teach kids how to do the normal things anymore.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
A bunch of stories, of course, we're following. The big
story that broke last night was that the mayor of
New York City was indicted on charges that he was
allegedly taking bribes and illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources.
He has said he will not resign. He will not
step down unless he's forced in some way. I think
the only person under New York state law who can

(14:16):
remove him without him wanting to be removed would be
the Governor, Kathy Holkl, although she hasn't said that she
would or wouldn't necessarily, we have seen this before, just
parsing our way through this indictment, where foreign nationals try
to curry favor with people that.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Are running cities in America. They want to gain leverage
over these lower level officials before they rise to national prominence.
In fact, in the indictment, it says during one of
the meetings, Businessman III agreed to contribute fifty thousand dollars
or more to the campaign, believing that Adams might one
day be the president of the United States and hoping

(14:52):
to gain influence. So this is just stuff that happens.
Everyone's dirty, dirty, dirty dirty.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
There's also a weird story that happened yes just before
our show started up in Santa Maria where somebody threw
a backpack bomb into the courthouse in Santa Maria.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Wasn't it somebody who had their arraignment scheduled.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
At something like that, But there were six people who
were hurt The thing is, he threw this bomb into
the security screening area where there are a lot of
law enforcement officers.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
And they all caught him before he got to his car.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
So you cannot come to Huntington Beach and not talk
about the Pacific Air Show.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
I mean, what a gem of Huntington.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Beach is The Pacific Air Show just such a delight.
This is the eighth year now and we are talking
about the world's finest military civilian performers once again. I'm
getting goosebumps just thinking about it.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
One of the executives, Kevin Elliott, is with us. A
big round of applause to Kevin because he's now this
has got to be the fourth fifth.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Time we've had you on.

Speaker 6 (15:58):
I think to talk well, I think I'm a co
host at this point.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
I know we bonded over burritos that it can be found.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, a big deal.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
You guys just wrapped up the Gold Coast version of
the Pacific Air Show.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
We did.

Speaker 6 (16:12):
Yeah, so Pacific Air Show is the only air show
in the world with two editions. We have the one
here in Huntington Beach, California, which is the largest in
the United States, and we replicated that to the Gold
Coast of Australia, and as of our event this year,
which was the second one in Australia, it's now the
second largest event in Australia behind Formula One, so we're
really of.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
What we've done there. So it's a big deal.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
So what are some of the highlights for this year.

Speaker 6 (16:38):
Well, you know there's me of course, no, I mean,
you know, obviously every year the Thunderbirds have made this
their home show, right, So we love the Thunderbirds. They
come from Nellis, they bring all of their families, you know,
they travel the country all year long doing this hard
work every weekend in a different city and Huntington Beach

(17:00):
is where they bring their families to have a little
R and R. So we're really proud to host them
here in the great city. They get to go to
the beach surf with their kids and so we're happy
to have them. But we've got the final demonstration of
the A ten Thunderbolt two this year, which is really
cool airplane. This will be the last time it flies.
The Air Force is hanging it up.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
It's a machine gun with wings essentially, I mean, it is.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
A it is a beast.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
If you're a cruising along somewhere and you see that
coming after you, You're not going to have a good day,
that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Child Republic A ten Thunderbolt two.

Speaker 6 (17:33):
Yeah, this is it, and this is the last time
it'll fly at a demonstration and then they're gonna retire it.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
So what's the difference between an A ten Warthog and
an A ten Thunderbolt.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
That's a great question.

Speaker 6 (17:42):
I think the war you know, they modernize them over time, right,
so they bolt additional things on. They're probably more guns,
more electronics, things like that, So that's exactly right.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yea, more things that go beep, probably in a cockpit somewhere.

Speaker 6 (17:54):
It's unbelievable, unbelievable airplane, and it does a really cool
demonstration where it makes them pretty cool sounds. So it's
a it's a very unique And let's.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
See what else do we have.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
We've got the F twenty two Raptors coming back to
Huntington Beach for the second time.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Those Raptors are unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
We've got the F thirty five C, which is the
Navy demonstration. I mean, we have so many jets. I
could sit here and probably list them off for you
for the next time.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
The old ones as well.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
I mean some of the aerobatic planes that are out
there going to be the older version of airplanes.

Speaker 6 (18:22):
We've got the T thirty three Shooting Star, which was
the Air Force trainer from way back in the day.
They called it the Ace Maker because it made so
many ACE pilots. And we've got a B twenty five
Mitchell Bomber. And you know, one of the coolest things
that we're doing this year is, you know, part of
Pacific Air Show is obviously what happens in the air,
but also what happens on the ground, and we've been
working very diligently to try to enhance the on ground experience.

(18:43):
One of the things we're doing is we're bringing STOLE planes,
which stands for short takeoff and landing. They're she going
to land on the beach directly in front of the
crowd this year, and so those airplanes will taxi up
and shut down and all the kids will be able
to take pictures and interact with the pilots, but they're
going to do a full demonstration. Did you ever see
the pilot who landed on top of the Berge Khalif

(19:03):
in Dubai on the tennis court at the very top
of that hotel.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, that's Luke Saipaidas.

Speaker 6 (19:08):
So he's going to be landing in a hula hook
at Pacific Air Show.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Oh my god, yea wo is that?

Speaker 6 (19:13):
So we're excited about that.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
You've got some of the greatest aerobatic pilots that are
going to be coming, helicopters, the case one five the
SOCOM commandos jumping in I assume.

Speaker 6 (19:26):
Right, that's correct. Yeah, they're going to jump out of
a perfectly good airplane. There's seven of them. They'd be
wearing smoke. Actually that's a that's We're just gonna duct
tape it to their legs and then they come out.
You know, it looks pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
So so every tickets are available now.

Speaker 6 (19:40):
Correct tickets are on sale at Pacific Airshow dot com.
Obviously it's a great event. We encourage people to book
a ticket, come down, be in the precinct where we've
got great commentary, great food, great atmosphere. There's something for everybody.
I think tickets started thirty dollars. You can't even go
to the movie theater for thirty dollars, let alone and
experience six hours of air show.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
So do you love in that area and hearing the
play by play and all the history behind it.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Just fun facts, right.

Speaker 6 (20:05):
Yeah, Matt our commentator Matt Jolly is second to none.
He's one of the greatest of the and it's probably
one of the biggest compliments that we get. Nobody says,
you know, the F twenty two is amazing, but they
all say Matt Jolly was incredible. So I you tell
him this every time, and he, of course insists that
that's not true. So I told him, I'm gonna have
to start wearing a body cam so I.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Can prove it to him.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, so true. It's my favorite part.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
Pacific Airshow dot Com is where you get it and
buckle your seats, ladies and gentlemen. This year, a FedEx
seven fifty seven is gonna fly.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, and they're.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Gonna just they're gonna throw out all the packages, so
they're going to swim out and get it however you
want to do it.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Did you guys hear about that plane that landed an
ocean side full of drugs? Yeah, they did tell us
what kind of drugs, But it happened early this morning.
They had an emergency land on seventy six. Yeah, and
they arrested the two guys.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Because the plane was just low drugs.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Oh, they're not gonna be there. No, that they're not
gonna be We.

Speaker 6 (21:03):
Don't have any drug flights going on, although that has
been contemplated as part of the air show business model.
Perhaps might might make things a little easier, but unfortunately no.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Elliott, thank you so much. Always great to see you.

Speaker 6 (21:15):
Thank you guys for always being such straight supporters of
Core again, Kevin, executive director at the Pacific Air Show.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Pacificairshow dot com is where you're gonna get tickets coming
up next month.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
You any more pizza?

Speaker 1 (21:28):
No?

Speaker 2 (21:29):
I do need a beer though here? Okay, not yet agree?
Huh No, No, I got it. I know, thank you,
I'll get it. Don't worry about it. The good kind.
I don't care what kind it is. The piranha is
what I want. That's what I want.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Big deal tonight, of course, is the Dodgers could clinch
the National League West with a win over the Padres.
He'll play at seven o'clock. I didn't watch the game
last night, but show hey. O Tani continues this amazing
performance to wrap up the season he was two hits.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
He stole his fifty sixth base.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
If he I mean, how is he not the the
MVP for the National League. Oh yes, I don't think
there's anybody that's even a close second. So that game
is tonight. There's a couple other games that are actually
on right now. We don't have to watch them, guys,
we don't have to. But there are the Brewers in
the top of the eight right now over your Pirates,

(22:25):
my pirates, or your Brewers over the Pirates that I like,
the Brewers, Royals, Nationals.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Oh, thank you, sir, I appreciate that time.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Very incredible of you. Rays Tigers are playing. We got
Thursday night football tonight. Of course, Cowboys Giants. I think
you said that the Giants are better than people are
giving them credit for.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
No, it's just they're making that Molik Neighbors is exciting
to watch, and they've put together They've put together some
nice games. Speaking of foot, the Cowboys are completely dysfunctional.
They're fighting with each other on the sideline.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
It's a mess.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
I did see at in week one.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
I saw somebody post a picture of Dak Prescott that said,
I want to get this over with the Cowboys have
been eliminated from the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
I know, I love it.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Speaking of football, we do have Chargers Chief tickets. We're
gonna be given away a little bit later, but you
got to be in the building to get those, so
make sure that you are around. We'll be here until
one o'clock today. But there's this study that came out
that suggests it's not humor or even necessarily physical beauty
that can make you most attractive to somebody.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yes, Researchers from Tel Aviv Universities say it actually comes
down to pro sociality, also known as kindness.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Oh see, that's easy.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
It uniquely influences physical attractiveness evaluations.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
Isn't that the case? That is so true?

Speaker 2 (23:51):
You've told a story before.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
I'm pretty sure it was on the air, But you've
told a story before about not wanting to date a
guy after the way you saw him treat a waiter.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yes, I actually that happens.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Broke up with somebody over that it was. I still
remember this. This was like I was twenty three or
something and I was dating this guy I reconnected with
in Sacramento from high school and we're in Hawaii actually,
and he ordered a specific kind of vodka Chopin.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Vodka, and they didn't happen.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
I had no idea.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, so that was annoying on its own. I now
know what it is, but at the time, I'm like,
who orders a specific brand?

Speaker 3 (24:35):
It's just weird to me.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Popa at the time, and yeah, pop off, you know
it's good for us all through Chico State. But uh no,
And so he says chopin vodka and then she says, oh,
we don't have that, and he said.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
I know you have it.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
I've had it here before.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
And I was like, oh, hell no, Like there's no
way I can spend one more minute with this person,
and I was done.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
I was just it was a.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Huge red flag to me, like, you're you're he was
twenty four years old.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
You're gonna act like that to a waitress? Who the
hell do you think you are?

Speaker 4 (25:05):
This study published in the British Journal of Social Psychology.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
And Vodka Get out of here.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
We live in a society that obviously values appearance, but
understanding the factors that influence how beauty is evaluated, and
they talked about They looked at pro sociality, defined as
the actions that benefit others, cooperation, kindness, et cetera. And
it affects how attractive you think that person is. That
that quality itself isn't necessarily the thing that attracts you

(25:32):
to them, but if you see them do something like that, yes,
it makes them more attractive.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
It's kind of like the way I say, you know,
like the Gavin Newsoms of the world. You got a
lot of those guys up in Marin County and they're
just jerks, and they're just all ego and it doesn't
matter what they look like. I've just run away from
them all the time, Like it's just that's just so
gross to me when somebody is not a kind person.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
The way that they did this study, by the way,
is they showed pictures to people and then asked rate
how attractive they thought those people in the photos were,
and if they were doing something like working in a
soup kitchen while in the picture.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Hey, we don't have to do soup kitchen or making.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
People laugh or.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
Or doing something intelligent, then that would change the way
that people looked at and saw their attractiveness.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
I mean, I'm not asking, you know, people to wash
the feet the way Jesus did.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
You read that part? Yeah, Oh, I didn't know you did?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Oh did I tell you?

Speaker 1 (26:31):
At the team dinner I was at over the weekend
that I got into the whole Leviticus conversation with Daniel Jeremiah. Yes, okay,
he was well, he was impressed, of course he was.
Jesus came in and everything was better for everybody, and that's,
you know.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Part of it.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Well, you summed up sixty six books of the Bible
with like five words, just right.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
That's pretty good. That's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
More prizes to give away. A big twelve o'clock hour
stick around. We are alive today at Bjay's rest' Rohn
and brue House in Huntington Beach, the one on Beach Boulevard.
