Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's a great Friday to be out at the beach.
We're down here, of course for the Pacific Air Show.
A couple stories that we're keeping our eyes on include
the fact that the new chief of the LPD is
named Jim MacDonald. Of course, a familiar name for everybody
here in southern California. Was the sheriff in La County
for a while, was the Long Beach Police chief, was
working his way through the LAPD, all the way from
(00:29):
patrol to assistant chief under Bill Bratton. We're going to
talk with Steve Gregory coming up in a few minutes
with more on what that means for the LAPD going forward.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
But first, Tory Ward pilots. One of the world's smallest
jets is the micro jet. This is a blind spot
for me, and this is the quote that really brings
it home. You are practically wearing the airplane and it flying.
It makes you feel like iron Man. Tory Ward joins us. Now,
(00:59):
thank you for taking time for us.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Thank you very much for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It looks like you're driving a go kart. I mean
that thing is very small.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
It feels like a go kart. Literally, I describe it
like trying on a pair of shorts that are maybe
two or three sizes too small just to get in it.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So you guys were doing pilot talk in the break
and Gary was talking about his nine g's and you
were saying, today we're going to fly it five g's
or I don't even know the terminology, but five g's
and that. But you don't have the suit that makes
it tolerable. So that's correct, feeling all of that.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
We experienced the five g's without a G suit, and
it's light enough that we can push through the five
g's and minus one negative G pulling us out of
the airplane.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So you fell in love with this jet in nineteen
eighty at Point Magoo at an air show, and you
just had the one track mine, this is going to
be my life, this is what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
That's correct.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I saw the b D five micro jet, which is
about a foot and a half than my jet, and
I was so inspired at a young age to see
this airplane take flight. I had to get on board,
and you know, build and fly an airplane like this myself.
So I was excited when the opportunity came up here
(02:15):
about three years ago. And now I have the Subsonics
JSX two microjet and happy to fly here.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So I hear microjet, I see the size of this
of this plane, this jet, and then I look at
you and I'm not tall, shame in you, but you're sixty.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Three about six foot three two and twenty.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
You're a linebacker and you fit in the microjet.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I had to make some sacrifices.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I was actually a little heavier, and I adjusted the
airplane so that I could get into this airplane and
close the canopy.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
But it didn't start out that way.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
There were many, many sacrifices that actually built up to
be able to pilot this airplane.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
In your bio, it says that you've been flying for
over four decades and you have experience in one hundred
and sixty five different kinds of airplanes.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
That's correct.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I've been fortunate enough to experience one hundred and sixty
five different models of aircraft, ranging from small light aircraft
to light jets and jet props and jet warbirds.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
When you talk about the sacrifices. What do you mean.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
That's a good question.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
The sacrifices I had to make were to lose a
considerable amount of weight. For me, I was in fit,
athletic condition, but I toned down to from two hundred
and fifty two pounds down to about two hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Wow, so that was difficult.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I made some adjustments to normally used to wearing headphones
to talk. Instead, I had to put ear plugs because
I found that the headphones stuck up in the way
of the canopy line and they would actually be touching,
so every time I close the canopy, I get smushed down.
So the ear plugs afforded me another fraction of an
(03:55):
inch in the seat.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Did you have people look at you and say no?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
But yeah, many times I had quite a few people say, hey,
it's just not possible. You're not the pilot, jockey size
pilot to get into one of these airplanes, let alone
any airplane. I'm tight in even some of the larger aircraft,
and I'm miserable when I travel on the airline because
I have no seat and leg room.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
So that was some of the sacrifice.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
That's very cool.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, we were talking about the weather and the sun
is starting to break through the clouds now, and can
you talk about the difference between what that would mean
for how you would perform in a show like this.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So we have some minimum safety lines for the weather.
We're going to be looking for an update by the
minute by the people running the show that are going
to give us those weather updates from our launch point.
Our weather in most of the weather minimums for a
lot of the smaller airplanes are going to be a
visibility with a minimum of three miles. I just about
(04:55):
have that right now, and the skies are going to
need to have a ceiling one thousand feet. That's going
to be the lowest the clouds can be to the surface.
And currently we are looking roughly around seven hundred broken
And what that means is the condition seemed to be
improving here and it looks like it's going to be
a nice day for an air show.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
The jet fuel makes a part of your.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Seat, that's correct, Yeah, so.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
He can feel it slashing around, so.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
There's a little different.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
The fuel normally in airplanes is in the wings, and
almost all airplanes have fuel tanks in the wings. This
airplane's unique. The fuel is not in the wings, It's
actually inside the cabin with me. And when I am
in the seat, everything on my seat back is the
beginning of the fuel tank. So as I'm maneuvering the
airplane and pulling gs, I can hear and feel that
(05:47):
transfer of fuels slashing behind my back and actually moved
me around the seat.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
That's incredible.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
How much do you carry for a show like this?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
So the airplane can carry forty gallons, and during the
air show performance, I will have a little more than
half of a fuel tank, which will allow me to
come out here, perform a show, have a little extra
time to loiter if I need to wait my turn,
and then have the additional parameters to get sequenced back
(06:16):
into John Wayne Airport.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So the other thing is if you're out there when
you're flying. I mean, this is a massive event and
they talk about it being the largest air show in
the country, at least in terms of attendance. Do you
get a can you tell the crowd as I mean,
do you get a sense of a relationship with the
crowd even though you're in the air I.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Get some sense of the crowd. The airplane is probably
one of the quicker smaller airplanes. The speed of which
I start the air show is three hundred miles per hour,
and things begin to blow when you try to take
note of you know, people, places, locations. I'm going to
see the pier and I'm not going to see the
(06:58):
people on the pier. I'm going to see a conjugation
of spectators as a whole. But I'm concerned where show
center is, which is pretty much where you guys are
posted up here. So that's going to be my focal
point is to see where that show center, where the pier,
and where the obstacles are. And we're going to be
flying the five hundred foot line. What that means. They're
(07:19):
going to be out here where these white buoys are
out in front, and that's going to be the closest
safety distance wise that I'm going to be able to
bring that jet.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
One more thing I wanted to mention about this jet,
which I found fascinating. The construction is made entirely out
of point zero two zero sheet aluminum, which means this
plane is just slightly thicker than a Coca Cola can.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
That's correct.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
The thickness is microscopic.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Mic goodness, you mean you can't sit.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
On this airplane.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
You could actually poke your finger and put a crease
or a dent in this airplane. Wow, very very fragile
and very lightweight. You're looking at something that weighs less
than a motorcycle.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Ford.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
He is a local guy. He's from Tarzana. Thank you
so much. Can't wait to see you up there.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Want to be here Tory Ward and the micro jet
later on. Today.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Everyone's out here with their umbrellas and their chairs and hey,
skip out of work and come say hi.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Just leave.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Why not just walk out?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
We do have some people who have left messages and
we'll get to them now that the computer works. But
we wanted to talk with our friend Steve Gregory, who
earlier was downtown for this announcement that Jim McDonald's going
to be the new chief for the LAPD. Steve not
a giant surprise, perhaps that Jim McDonald was chosen.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Well, I think when the rumors started to circulate that
he was the front runner, people were like a little confused,
maybe because there had been talk that Mayor Bass wanted
to make history. And you can read into that however
you want, and you know that's why. I think there
was a big push for you know, perhaps the first
(08:57):
female or first woman.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Well, I mean the l yeah, I mean she's making
history in twenty twenty four and picking a white male really.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
That's just not the popular lanes some people.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
That's why some people were surprised. And I mean, let
me tell you, let's go back real quick. Jim McDonald
used to be the first assistant chief of the LAPD.
He retired from that role back in twenty ten to
take over his chief of the Long Beach Police Department.
Then in twenty fourteen he retired from there, ran and
won for Sheriff of La County. Then he did not
(09:32):
win his reelection bid in twenty eighteen, and then from
twenty eighteen he's been a consultant and he's been working
at the USC School of Public Policy where he's been
running these executive leadership courses for law enforcement people around
the country. So what was funny is that at the
press conference today, which lasted about thirty five to forty
minutes in the mayor's press room, a lot of people
(09:53):
media were asking about, you know, what's your goal, what
are you gonna do about this? What are you going
to do about that. And then I went a different
direct I said, why why are you doing this?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Don't say that in my king.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Now was the mayor jumping in saying don't say that
might change his mind, But here's what he said, you
know after because then I went ahead and continued my question.
It's like, you know, you know you've been relatively comfortable
being a consultant working at USC Why did you come
back into the chaos?
Speaker 8 (10:23):
You know that I've been asked that question over and
over again, and I've asked myself that question. And I
really put a lot of serious thought and deliberation talking
with my family and deciding what's the next chapter for.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
All of us.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
And the more I thought about where we are today
in America, and I look around the country to see
the challenges everyone's facing. And we saw a post twenty twenty,
an awful lot of good solid police leaders and good
solid police officers throughout the organization leave and retire because
they were eligible to and move on to do something else.
And I see an opportunity now to emerge from that
(10:57):
period and to be able to move forward. And I
feel like I still have gas in the tank, fire
in the belly, if you will, and a desire to
be able to try and be helpful.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
So there you go.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
He felt like there was a calling that police departments
kind of getting beat up over the last few years,
and he felt like he was the guy to bring
it all back together.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
When do we get a good sense of sort of
the rank and file and how they feel about this decision.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Well, my phone's been blowing up all morning when it
was officially announced. I've been getting text from other law
enforcement and cops here in the LAPD saying, you know
that they are happy, they're excited about it.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
People.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
I just talked to a captain she walked by a
moment ago, I'm still down here at city Hall, and
I said, what do you think? And she says, I
think it's a great pick. And then I said, well,
why do you think he was the pick? And she said, listen,
We've got the Olympics coming up, we got the World
Cup coming up, we got Super Bowl coming up. She
needs mayor Bass needs somebody with experience, tactical experience, leadership experience,
(11:55):
administrative experience, and Jim really fits the bill on all
of those front because you figure he's been an elected
official and he's been an appointed official and he's been
a cop himself.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I love what he said today, Steve too about his
goal is to restore public trust. And that's the why, right,
Because if you've been a rank and file guy, you've
worked in the line of duty, you've worked in administration,
you've seen what the public support and the dive in
public support that has happened for the law enforcement community
in recent years. And so you can see that where
(12:26):
that would be his why, Like, Hey, this is something
that I've spent my entire life. This has been my
life's work, and I want to restore that faith that
the public has in the department.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
And besides that, he's also a well respected law enforcement
person from around the country and around the world. I mean,
the man's been incredibly active in other police organizations, a
consultant to other agencies. He's well respected, well liked. He's
also a hardliner in that you know, he knows how
to go attack the crime issue, but he also knows
how to play the game in the political world.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
He was always a good pub plitician. When he was
the sheriff.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
He was well liked among all of the board of supervisors.
He's going to be well liked here. I'm curious because
there's still one final step. The La City Council has
to confirm him, and I'm curious to see if that'll
be unanimous or not, because there are a couple people
on that council that have a different view of law enforcement,
so they're not interesting to see.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So they're not all in prison, just a couple of
them at La City Council.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
They It's been a while since I've been down here yet,
and I'm thinking to myself, how many people are actually
left standing down here now?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Yeah, exactly, and who cares about their opinion on anything?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
That's funny?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Hey, listen, though I don't know if it's too premature
to announce, but you know it's possible that the chief
might be making more of appearances on your show.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Yeah, we don't have to.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I'm so stoked about the pick in that regard because sometimes,
you know, Steve set this up for us to have
kind of a regular chat with the incoming LAPD chief,
and sometimes when you don't really agree with the picks,
you kind of have to be a little bit phony.
And I don't feel like we have to be a
phony at all with Jim McDonald. He is exactly who
(14:10):
he is. You know who that person is, and it's nice.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
And he's looking forward to it.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
So good, good, Okay, guys, have a great weekend.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Awesome Steve, thank you appreciate it again.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Jim McDonald named the LAPD chief this morning, right as
we started the show, and that's going to be great.
And I can't wait to meet him in person.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You know who I can't wait to meet, Tom Cruise, Maverick,
the Iceman.

It is not uh it is it is insane.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
How much you guys look like Tom kras Like, Sorry,
control yourself.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I mean, I'm in town tonight. If you guys want
to go out later.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
That's oh you're looking to get inverted.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I see you, he says to me.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
How much tail do you think these guys get?
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Probably a good amount if they were single, but they're.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Married, we would get a lot of Nikes on our tail.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
That's right. But right on the sixth I bet so.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
But seriously, you guys, uh just fell into Somebody told
you at some point you guys looked like this other.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Guy fourteen years ago.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
So I've been doing this for that long, not knowing
who I am.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
This is our second year here at Pacific, and we
absolutely love it. It's been great to be part of
the Pacific Air Show and do marketing with them and
you know.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Take people's breath away doing selfies.
Speaker 10 (18:31):
Bringing back that top gun Nostagia to nineteen eighty six
because we know those years were fantastic.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Yeah, we call it a target rich environment. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
How many times have you watched Top Gun?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I probably watched it a million, but you know you
was watch because you had.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
The mannerisms then all of it.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Oh it's my love vibe before going to bed. Really yeah,
every night, every night. I just tell everyone, if you
watch it more than five and make sure an eight.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
So that's right.
Speaker 10 (18:56):
But you know, let me ask you guys, so be
em being the number one streaming station, you know.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Yeah, it's the same way you feel being number one in.
Speaker 10 (19:04):
The sky boys for second best.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
No, there's not right.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Do you guys have any experience flying? Yes? We do.
Speaker 10 (19:14):
Yet you know it's hard to find parts for the
F fourteen nowadays.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
If you go to Iran, they probably right.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
The reverse engineering they've done that.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
It's like a nineteen fifty five Chevy pickup in Cuba.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
There done that.
Speaker 11 (19:31):
I have a Billy on our wing man raz if
he encountered one of those, it wouldn't be a contest
really right.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, So what about like a Goose? Are we gonna
pick up Goose a sometime or is he just.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Dead too soon? Sorry?
Speaker 10 (19:44):
I am I'm sorry, and we're close to the Indian
Ocean right here.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Maybe Meg Ryan joins at some point, you know, Kelly
McGillis and mag Ryan, you know, yeah, I mean Kelly
went fully inverted.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
I mean she really did.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
But we all kind of knew that, yeah right, yeah,
well I did.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I did as a thirteen year old boy, and when
I saw that movie, I knew that there was something
going on.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Really yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Well I never bought that scene between you and her
at the beach house, like, I did not believe in
that chemistry.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I came for a shower just right, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Reciprocates that, by the way, Like, who does that? Like
I'm going to have a shower like my house, Maverick.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I was very young, confident, and I love that we're
discussing plot holes behind.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
The scene, like we had anything to do with that.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
By the way, have you seen a cub gunnalls lately? No,
we did the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Is the San Diego sotion side?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, that was awesome that motorcycle scene.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Do you still ride the hog, Maverick?
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Yes, I do. I've got the speed, you know.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Oh, there's something happening.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
This is a part of the broadcast where we sound
really dumb because we're like, look out cool, but that
it's very cool.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Are those the Thunderbirds?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Yeah, that's for the Thunderbirds. So you guys are Navy. Guy.
Do you guys have a healthy rivalry with the Air Force?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Guys, we get along very well. You know that's because,
as you remember, in nineteen eighty six, the.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
Recruitment for the Air Force was about five everybody thought
it was the Air Force when they saw the movie
Top Gun.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
We called that a.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Rising tide lifting all ships.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Can you guys also do the Dallas Cowboys thunderstruck kick routine.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
I feel like you could do anything.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
I could do anything. It's called orders, you know. You
guys have those stunts, that's rights.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Do you guys take requests?
Speaker 9 (21:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (21:33):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Well you guys, do.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
You think do you think he's blot it? You think
he blots it?
Speaker 6 (21:39):
I hate it when that happened.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
I hate it when you do that.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
You never closed your rounds any when I just know.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
There's no tenderness.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Be full on your things. By the way, we're better pilots.
You're trying not to show it, babes, but.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
Babe, baby, oh no, you lost that.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
I'm about taking away naval you lost.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
And now it's going going.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Whoa whoa.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Honestly, thank you guys for having us, thank you for
stopping for stopping by. I've really been a lifelong goal
of mine to meet you guys.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
So I'm glad we made that happen.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
My goodness, Yes, awesome, Maverick Ice, have a great day.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Today, Jordier show.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
We are going to post those pictures of us with
with Maverick and Ice, and they.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I mean you guys, they look exactly like the actor.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Really.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
It's from nineteen eighty six, by.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
The way, and they're wearing the full uniform, full flight.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And they've got the sunglasses. I was wearing the same
sunglasses as Maverick. I think that's the movie that turned
me onto this style of sunglass, I think, so yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
So we'll post those pictures. Those guys are really great.
They're both they both live down in San Diego obviously,
where Fighter Town, USA is. They they make all kinds
of money, I bet. And they've been out here, they
said at the air show a couple of times, a
couple of years in a row.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Now that's funny.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Carl had his picture taken with them. Oh really yeah,
oh yeah, he said, say hi to the guys for me.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
That's great, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
So we are here today in Huntington Beach for the
Pacific Air Show, of course, which has just gotten underway.
You can hear the music in the background. The thunderbirds
are flying around. They did make a pass earlier and
they're kind of behind us right now, so we're not
seeing much. They also landed like we said they were
going to. They landed these three airplanes on the beach,
not the thunderbirds, not the thunderbirds, but some the giant
(24:03):
buggy tires on those little airplanes. Very short landing that
they did. So there's three airplanes that are on the
beach right now, facing out across the water.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Stories that we followed, of course.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
The big news that happened right at the beginning of
the show today was that La Mayor Karen Bass announced
Jim McDonald is going to serve as LA's new police chief.
This search took several months and they say it's going
to usher in a new era for one of our
largest police departments in the country. Who you can hear this,
(24:35):
You can hear the public address announcer. She's actually Thunderbird twelve,
I think, is what she said. She's the one who
does all of the public address announcing for the team
as they go through their demonstration.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Part of the thing I love about the air show
is the narration and the facts that you find out
about the particular aircraft and about the pilots.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
There they are right there.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Oh yeah, and you can hear right now in the
speaker Thunderbird one and here twelve.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Oh no, it was under one.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
She had piped in.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Oh that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, Which again it's really hard to call this game
on the radio.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
But there's another airplane, and there's another.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Airplanes are for information, and they are fast, and they
are Jets America.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It is going to be a beautiful day and we'll
be out here until one o'clock watching all.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Of this go down. But there's other stuff that's going on.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
The big deal in nationally was that the International Longshoreman's
Association decided that they were going to go back to work.
They've agreed on a tenant of deal.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Thank god.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
So you can all stop hoarding your toilet paper, Okay, now,
So then let's get to that, because I feel like,
let's get to that.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
This is something that you said, how much toilet paper
does one person actually needs?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
And you said that you use twelve to fifteen squares
and I felt like that was a lot.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
And then in the break you said, well, I use
like three or four the first.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Wiping, and then three or four for the second wiping,
and three or four for the third wiping. And I
felt like three wipes is maybe overkilled.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Okay, again, I've.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Never sensed a problem with you in that department, so
I'm whatever you're doing is working. I just feel like
you're using too much toilet paper.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Well, apparently it's a pretty divisive issue because some people
are saying I'm doing it, some people are saying I'm
doing it perfectly, and others are worried that you're not
clean enough.
Speaker 12 (26:32):
Oh so, welcome back Shannon from your suspension, Gary, twelve
to fifteen squares. You're not a man, You're a freak.
You're out of your fricking mind. No one does that.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Okay, so there's one.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
I'm bad because I didn't go that far. And again, I.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Didn't get suspended for crying out loud. If I got suspended,
I would do nothing, but talk about how I got suspended.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
I would be so proud of that. Are you kidding?
Speaker 13 (26:57):
My shnnon welcome back of squares a dirty bam check yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
See four squares myself and I am clean again.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Do you realize what we're talking?
Speaker 14 (27:10):
Okay, hey guys, good morning. I use Kirkland toilet paper,
and just like you, Shannon, I use four four squares
and I folded the third change the work just fine.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
We're learning so much about all of us.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
And by the way, we're not We have not even
brought up the argument of fold or crumple. I think
crumplers are are They are living on the edge.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
If you're planning, you do it.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
The same way every time.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Thank you use four squares three times? Yeah, so that's
twelve squares. How many do you use? Shannon? Just three
squares one time?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Dirty girl, thirty girl, the sec get dirty Girl that
you've gotten.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
That is really cool.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
They were all in a straight line, vertical, vertical going.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
Up into the sky, up.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Into the sky. That's what airplanes do.
Speaker 11 (28:14):
Garrian Channon, Happy Friday. I'm already sad that I can't
be down there at the.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Beach with you.
Speaker 11 (28:20):
Because I live in Huntington Beach. You're right in my backyard,
so give me a pickup. I'm feeling bummed. So let's
have a happy day, all right, Thanks guys have fun
down there.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Absolutely, thank you, Renee.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
We're gonna have a happy day because we're talking about
squares and how they were.
Speaker 13 (28:38):
One of the best investments I ever made was up
a day that you just add to your existing toilet
and you don't have to use that much paper to
just blot the wet blots of.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
The Yeah, bedays are great.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
When we went to Japan, there were bedeys everywhere and
it was just a way of life. It was a
way of life, and it really does it does the trick.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
It changes your life. Huh.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
Okay, do you guys have to step your wipe game up?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Three up, three down?
Speaker 6 (29:09):
You got to use Wipeeshow.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Wis clogged the system?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
They're not. There's there's no such thing such a no.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I mean, I mean they're good for, like, you know,
home healthcare reasons, but you can't use wipe bees like
on the regular.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
Sorry, are we getting into too much deta.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Just realize what we're talking about.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Well, we're talking about wipe.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Gary, Yes we are.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
We're at the beach.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
What do you want us to do?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Break down Obamacare or something?
Speaker 4 (29:40):
We could talk about the Menendez brothers.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Have you heard about this whole thing that George gascon
hold a news Contrascon.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Is such a buffoon.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
The fact that he's trying to capitalize on the murder
of two people for political points in an election.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Season is gross.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Where have you been for all the current victim and
the victims' families.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
You're going to take.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Up the cause of these two murderers, these two elite, rich,
spoiled children who gunned down their parents. Listen, everyone goes
through some sort of issue or abuse or whatnot.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
It made me not abuse, but you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Like the whole everybody got something, yes, and they don't
go on to kill people.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
No.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
So, for the love, when I did see that news
conference yesterday, it's such an asshat.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
It just seemed like that's exactly what it was.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
It's a blatan it's a blatant grab and.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
It's one of those things where it doesn't make a
lot of sense for him.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Well, and you can say you're reviewing it.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
It's an easy win right this way you make the
libs happy and you make everyone else happy.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
That you're just review It's an easy way to say
I'm doing nothing, but I'm kind of doing something.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Reviewing a case.
Speaker 12 (30:46):
Right.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
And furthermore, he doesn't even have enough experience to review
any trial transcript. He has not the experience to review
a dy traffic report. What's he going to do review
the case. Yeah, he'd probably used what was admissible and
what was in.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Twenty five to thirty squad.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
We have more legal experience than he.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Does about that. He said in that news conference yesterday.
There's no question that Eric and Lyle did kill their parents, there's.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
No question about it.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
But he said the issue is whether or not the
jury actually heard evidence that their father had molested them.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
The evidence that.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Was talking about evidence though it was their word, right,
there was no evidence.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Well, the only other thing was that this guy from
Minudo supposedly may have also been molested.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
By the dad.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
But the thing is the first trial that ended in
a mistrial, they did talk about the sexual abuse.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
It was not used in the other in the second
trial where they were found guilty.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Here's the other bad thing for George Gascon and the
optics of this is the reason people are talking about
this is because of the Ryan Murphy adaptation of the
story on Netflix but wildly popular. I watched the whole thing.
I finished it up this weekend or this week, and
it is such a gross depiction and there's no evidence
(32:13):
that any of these things happen.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
So the fact that George Gascone.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Is a sitting da who is giving credence to what
is clearly a dramaedy of real life events is kind
of silly. You sound silly that the fact that you're
going to take a look about this again because of
a stupid drama, like, you sound like a silly child.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
It's that show really made me think.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
It's like it's a Ryan Murphy show.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Here's what also worries me about that is that he
has surrounded himself with people who can't tell him that
or won't tell him that right, or.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Don't recognize or just as dumb right. And that's that
I think.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Is also a big issue when you talk about you
know why it's so important for us to pay attention
to who is the district?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
You stand my grandmother on Facebook being like we need
to take a look at this Menendez case. After I
watch that show, you're like, oh, okay, bless your hurt.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
That's sweet.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
But the sitting DA is moved by a TV show.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yes, yeah, great, that's what we mean exactly. All right,
Gary and Shannon, we're live today in Huntington Beach for
the Pacific Air Show down on the Beach. Turning out
to be a beautiful day. We'll be out here until
one o'clock. You can always go to Pacific Airshow dot
com find out more information about what's going on this
weekend down here at the beach. We'll continue right after this.
(33:35):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show. You
can always hear us live on KFIAM 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.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's a great Friday to be out at the beach.
We're down here, of course for the Pacific Air Show.
A couple stories that we're keeping our eyes on include
the fact that the new chief of the LPD is
named Jim MacDonald. Of course, a familiar name for everybody
here in southern California. Was the sheriff in La County
for a while, was the Long Beach Police chief, was
working his way through the LAPD, all the way from
(00:29):
patrol to assistant chief under Bill Bratton. We're going to
talk with Steve Gregory coming up in a few minutes
with more on what that means for the LAPD going forward.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
But first, Tory Ward pilots. One of the world's smallest
jets is the micro jet. This is a blind spot
for me, and this is the quote that really brings
it home. You are practically wearing the airplane and it flying.
It makes you feel like iron Man. Tory Ward joins us. Now,
(00:59):
thank you for taking time for us.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Thank you very much for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It looks like you're driving a go kart. I mean
that thing is very small.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
It feels like a go kart. Literally, I describe it
like trying on a pair of shorts that are maybe
two or three sizes too small just to get in it.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So you guys were doing pilot talk in the break
and Gary was talking about his nine g's and you
were saying, today we're going to fly it five g's
or I don't even know the terminology, but five g's
and that. But you don't have the suit that makes
it tolerable. So that's correct, feeling all of that.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
We experienced the five g's without a G suit, and
it's light enough that we can push through the five
g's and minus one negative G pulling us out of
the airplane.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So you fell in love with this jet in nineteen
eighty at Point Magoo at an air show, and you
just had the one track mine, this is going to
be my life, this is what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
That's correct.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I saw the b D five micro jet, which is
about a foot and a half than my jet, and
I was so inspired at a young age to see
this airplane take flight. I had to get on board,
and you know, build and fly an airplane like this myself.
So I was excited when the opportunity came up here
(02:15):
about three years ago. And now I have the Subsonics
JSX two microjet and happy to fly here.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So I hear microjet, I see the size of this
of this plane, this jet, and then I look at
you and I'm not tall, shame in you, but you're sixty.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Three about six foot three two and twenty.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
You're a linebacker and you fit in the microjet.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I had to make some sacrifices.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I was actually a little heavier, and I adjusted the
airplane so that I could get into this airplane and
close the canopy.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
But it didn't start out that way.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
There were many, many sacrifices that actually built up to
be able to pilot this airplane.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
In your bio, it says that you've been flying for
over four decades and you have experience in one hundred
and sixty five different kinds of airplanes.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
That's correct.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I've been fortunate enough to experience one hundred and sixty
five different models of aircraft, ranging from small light aircraft
to light jets and jet props and jet warbirds.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
When you talk about the sacrifices. What do you mean.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
That's a good question.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
The sacrifices I had to make were to lose a
considerable amount of weight. For me, I was in fit,
athletic condition, but I toned down to from two hundred
and fifty two pounds down to about two hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Wow, so that was difficult.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I made some adjustments to normally used to wearing headphones
to talk. Instead, I had to put ear plugs because
I found that the headphones stuck up in the way
of the canopy line and they would actually be touching,
so every time I close the canopy, I get smushed down.
So the ear plugs afforded me another fraction of an
(03:55):
inch in the seat.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Did you have people look at you and say no?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
But yeah, many times I had quite a few people say, hey,
it's just not possible. You're not the pilot, jockey size
pilot to get into one of these airplanes, let alone
any airplane. I'm tight in even some of the larger aircraft,
and I'm miserable when I travel on the airline because
I have no seat and leg room.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
So that was some of the sacrifice.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
That's very cool.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, we were talking about the weather and the sun
is starting to break through the clouds now, and can
you talk about the difference between what that would mean
for how you would perform in a show like this.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So we have some minimum safety lines for the weather.
We're going to be looking for an update by the
minute by the people running the show that are going
to give us those weather updates from our launch point.
Our weather in most of the weather minimums for a
lot of the smaller airplanes are going to be a
visibility with a minimum of three miles. I just about
(04:55):
have that right now, and the skies are going to
need to have a ceiling one thousand feet. That's going
to be the lowest the clouds can be to the surface.
And currently we are looking roughly around seven hundred broken
And what that means is the condition seemed to be
improving here and it looks like it's going to be
a nice day for an air show.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
The jet fuel makes a part of your.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Seat, that's correct, Yeah, so.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
He can feel it slashing around, so.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
There's a little different.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
The fuel normally in airplanes is in the wings, and
almost all airplanes have fuel tanks in the wings. This
airplane's unique. The fuel is not in the wings, It's
actually inside the cabin with me. And when I am
in the seat, everything on my seat back is the
beginning of the fuel tank. So as I'm maneuvering the
airplane and pulling gs, I can hear and feel that
(05:47):
transfer of fuels slashing behind my back and actually moved
me around the seat.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
That's incredible.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
How much do you carry for a show like this?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
So the airplane can carry forty gallons, and during the
air show performance, I will have a little more than
half of a fuel tank, which will allow me to
come out here, perform a show, have a little extra
time to loiter if I need to wait my turn,
and then have the additional parameters to get sequenced back
(06:16):
into John Wayne Airport.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So the other thing is if you're out there when
you're flying. I mean, this is a massive event and
they talk about it being the largest air show in
the country, at least in terms of attendance. Do you
get a can you tell the crowd as I mean,
do you get a sense of a relationship with the
crowd even though you're in the air I.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Get some sense of the crowd. The airplane is probably
one of the quicker smaller airplanes. The speed of which
I start the air show is three hundred miles per hour,
and things begin to blow when you try to take
note of you know, people, places, locations. I'm going to
see the pier and I'm not going to see the
(06:58):
people on the pier. I'm going to see a conjugation
of spectators as a whole. But I'm concerned where show
center is, which is pretty much where you guys are
posted up here. So that's going to be my focal
point is to see where that show center, where the pier,
and where the obstacles are. And we're going to be
flying the five hundred foot line. What that means. They're
(07:19):
going to be out here where these white buoys are
out in front, and that's going to be the closest
safety distance wise that I'm going to be able to
bring that jet.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
One more thing I wanted to mention about this jet,
which I found fascinating. The construction is made entirely out
of point zero two zero sheet aluminum, which means this
plane is just slightly thicker than a Coca Cola can.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
That's correct.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
The thickness is microscopic.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Mic goodness, you mean you can't sit.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
On this airplane.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
You could actually poke your finger and put a crease
or a dent in this airplane. Wow, very very fragile
and very lightweight. You're looking at something that weighs less
than a motorcycle.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Ford.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
He is a local guy. He's from Tarzana. Thank you
so much. Can't wait to see you up there.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Want to be here Tory Ward and the micro jet
later on. Today.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Everyone's out here with their umbrellas and their chairs and hey,
skip out of work and come say hi.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Just leave.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Why not just walk out?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
We do have some people who have left messages and
we'll get to them now that the computer works. But
we wanted to talk with our friend Steve Gregory, who
earlier was downtown for this announcement that Jim McDonald's going
to be the new chief for the LAPD. Steve not
a giant surprise, perhaps that Jim McDonald was chosen.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Well, I think when the rumors started to circulate that
he was the front runner, people were like a little confused,
maybe because there had been talk that Mayor Bass wanted
to make history. And you can read into that however
you want, and you know that's why. I think there
was a big push for you know, perhaps the first
(08:57):
female or first woman.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Well, I mean the l yeah, I mean she's making
history in twenty twenty four and picking a white male really.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
That's just not the popular lanes some people.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
That's why some people were surprised. And I mean, let
me tell you, let's go back real quick. Jim McDonald
used to be the first assistant chief of the LAPD.
He retired from that role back in twenty ten to
take over his chief of the Long Beach Police Department.
Then in twenty fourteen he retired from there, ran and
won for Sheriff of La County. Then he did not
(09:32):
win his reelection bid in twenty eighteen, and then from
twenty eighteen he's been a consultant and he's been working
at the USC School of Public Policy where he's been
running these executive leadership courses for law enforcement people around
the country. So what was funny is that at the
press conference today, which lasted about thirty five to forty
minutes in the mayor's press room, a lot of people
(09:53):
media were asking about, you know, what's your goal, what
are you gonna do about this? What are you going
to do about that. And then I went a different
direct I said, why why are you doing this?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Don't say that in my king.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Now was the mayor jumping in saying don't say that
might change his mind, But here's what he said, you
know after because then I went ahead and continued my question.
It's like, you know, you know you've been relatively comfortable
being a consultant working at USC Why did you come
back into the chaos?
Speaker 8 (10:23):
You know that I've been asked that question over and
over again, and I've asked myself that question. And I
really put a lot of serious thought and deliberation talking
with my family and deciding what's the next chapter for.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
All of us.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
And the more I thought about where we are today
in America, and I look around the country to see
the challenges everyone's facing. And we saw a post twenty twenty,
an awful lot of good solid police leaders and good
solid police officers throughout the organization leave and retire because
they were eligible to and move on to do something else.
And I see an opportunity now to emerge from that
(10:57):
period and to be able to move forward. And I
feel like I still have gas in the tank, fire
in the belly, if you will, and a desire to
be able to try and be helpful.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
So there you go.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
He felt like there was a calling that police departments
kind of getting beat up over the last few years,
and he felt like he was the guy to bring
it all back together.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
When do we get a good sense of sort of
the rank and file and how they feel about this decision.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Well, my phone's been blowing up all morning when it
was officially announced. I've been getting text from other law
enforcement and cops here in the LAPD saying, you know
that they are happy, they're excited about it.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
People.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
I just talked to a captain she walked by a
moment ago, I'm still down here at city Hall, and
I said, what do you think? And she says, I
think it's a great pick. And then I said, well,
why do you think he was the pick? And she said, listen,
We've got the Olympics coming up, we got the World
Cup coming up, we got Super Bowl coming up. She
needs mayor Bass needs somebody with experience, tactical experience, leadership experience,
(11:55):
administrative experience, and Jim really fits the bill on all
of those front because you figure he's been an elected
official and he's been an appointed official and he's been
a cop himself.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I love what he said today, Steve too about his
goal is to restore public trust. And that's the why, right,
Because if you've been a rank and file guy, you've
worked in the line of duty, you've worked in administration,
you've seen what the public support and the dive in
public support that has happened for the law enforcement community
in recent years. And so you can see that where
(12:26):
that would be his why, Like, Hey, this is something
that I've spent my entire life. This has been my
life's work, and I want to restore that faith that
the public has in the department.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
And besides that, he's also a well respected law enforcement
person from around the country and around the world. I mean,
the man's been incredibly active in other police organizations, a
consultant to other agencies. He's well respected, well liked. He's
also a hardliner in that you know, he knows how
to go attack the crime issue, but he also knows
how to play the game in the political world.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
He was always a good pub plitician. When he was
the sheriff.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
He was well liked among all of the board of supervisors.
He's going to be well liked here. I'm curious because
there's still one final step. The La City Council has
to confirm him, and I'm curious to see if that'll
be unanimous or not, because there are a couple people
on that council that have a different view of law enforcement,
so they're not interesting to see.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So they're not all in prison, just a couple of
them at La City Council.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
They It's been a while since I've been down here yet,
and I'm thinking to myself, how many people are actually
left standing down here now?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Yeah, exactly, and who cares about their opinion on anything?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
That's funny?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Hey, listen, though I don't know if it's too premature
to announce, but you know it's possible that the chief
might be making more of appearances on your show.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Yeah, we don't have to.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I'm so stoked about the pick in that regard because sometimes,
you know, Steve set this up for us to have
kind of a regular chat with the incoming LAPD chief,
and sometimes when you don't really agree with the picks,
you kind of have to be a little bit phony.
And I don't feel like we have to be a
phony at all with Jim McDonald. He is exactly who
(14:10):
he is. You know who that person is, and it's nice.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
And he's looking forward to it.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
So good, good, Okay, guys, have a great weekend.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Awesome Steve, thank you appreciate it again.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Jim McDonald named the LAPD chief this morning, right as
we started the show, and that's going to be great.
And I can't wait to meet him in person.
Speaker 1 (14:32):

Probably a good amount if they were single, but they're.
Speaker 6 (18:04):

Speaker 4 (18:06):
That's right. But right on the sixth I bet so.

This is our second year here at Pacific, and we
absolutely love it. It's been great to be part of
the Pacific Air Show and do marketing with them and
you know.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Take people's breath away doing selfies.
Speaker 10 (18:31):
Bringing back that top gun Nostagia to nineteen eighty six
because we know those years were fantastic.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Yeah, we call it a target rich environment. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
How many times have you watched Top Gun?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I probably watched it a million, but you know you
was watch because you had.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
The mannerisms then all of it.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Oh it's my love vibe before going to bed. Really yeah,
every night, every night. I just tell everyone, if you
watch it more than five and make sure an eight.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
So that's right.
Speaker 10 (18:56):
But you know, let me ask you guys, so be
em being the number one streaming station, you know.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Yeah, it's the same way you feel being number one in.
Speaker 10 (19:04):
The sky boys for second best.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
No, there's not right.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Do you guys have any experience flying? Yes? We do.
Speaker 10 (19:14):
Yet you know it's hard to find parts for the
F fourteen nowadays.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
If you go to Iran, they probably right.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
The reverse engineering they've done that.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
It's like a nineteen fifty five Chevy pickup in Cuba.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
There done that.
Speaker 11 (19:31):
I have a Billy on our wing man raz if
he encountered one of those, it wouldn't be a contest

Speaker 6 (19:41):
Dead too soon? Sorry?
Speaker 10 (19:44):
I am I'm sorry, and we're close to the Indian
Ocean right here.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Maybe Meg Ryan joins at some point, you know, Kelly
McGillis and mag Ryan, you know, yeah, I mean Kelly
went fully inverted.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
I mean she really did.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
But we all kind of knew that, yeah right, yeah,
well I did.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I did as a thirteen year old boy, and when
I saw that movie, I knew that there was something
going on.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Really yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Well I never bought that scene between you and her
at the beach house, like, I did not believe in
that chemistry.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I came for a shower just right, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Reciprocates that, by the way, Like, who does that? Like
I'm going to have a shower like my house, Maverick.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I was very young, confident, and I love that we're
discussing plot holes behind.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
The scene, like we had anything to do with that.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
By the way, have you seen a cub gunnalls lately? No,
we did the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Is the San Diego sotion side?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, that was awesome that motorcycle scene.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Do you still ride the hog, Maverick?
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Yes, I do. I've got the speed, you know.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Oh, there's something happening.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
This is a part of the broadcast where we sound
really dumb because we're like, look out cool, but that
it's very cool.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Are those the Thunderbirds?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Yeah, that's for the Thunderbirds. So you guys are Navy. Guy.
Do you guys have a healthy rivalry with the Air Force?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Guys, we get along very well. You know that's because,
as you remember, in nineteen eighty six, the.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
Recruitment for the Air Force was about five everybody thought
it was the Air Force when they saw the movie
Top Gun.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
We called that a.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Rising tide lifting all ships.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Can you guys also do the Dallas Cowboys thunderstruck kick routine.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
I feel like you could do anything.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
I could do anything. It's called orders, you know. You
guys have those stunts, that's rights.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Do you guys take requests?
Speaker 9 (21:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (21:33):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Well you guys, do.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
You think do you think he's blot it? You think
he blots it?
Speaker 6 (21:39):
I hate it when that happened.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
I hate it when you do that.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
You never closed your rounds any when I just know.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
There's no tenderness.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Be full on your things. By the way, we're better pilots.
You're trying not to show it, babes, but.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
Babe, baby, oh no, you lost that.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
I'm about taking away naval you lost.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
And now it's going going.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Whoa whoa.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Honestly, thank you guys for having us, thank you for
stopping for stopping by. I've really been a lifelong goal
of mine to meet you guys.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
So I'm glad we made that happen.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
My goodness, Yes, awesome, Maverick Ice, have a great day.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Today, Jordier show.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
We are going to post those pictures of us with
with Maverick and Ice, and they.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I mean you guys, they look exactly like the actor.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Really.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
It's from nineteen eighty six, by.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
The way, and they're wearing the full uniform, full flight.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And they've got the sunglasses. I was wearing the same
sunglasses as Maverick. I think that's the movie that turned
me onto this style of sunglass, I think, so yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
So we'll post those pictures. Those guys are really great.
They're both they both live down in San Diego obviously,
where Fighter Town, USA is. They they make all kinds
of money, I bet. And they've been out here, they
said at the air show a couple of times, a
couple of years in a row.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Now that's funny.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Carl had his picture taken with them. Oh really yeah,
oh yeah, he said, say hi to the guys for me.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
That's great, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
So we are here today in Huntington Beach for the
Pacific Air Show, of course, which has just gotten underway.
You can hear the music in the background. The thunderbirds
are flying around. They did make a pass earlier and
they're kind of behind us right now, so we're not
seeing much. They also landed like we said they were
going to. They landed these three airplanes on the beach,
not the thunderbirds, not the thunderbirds, but some the giant
(24:03):
buggy tires on those little airplanes. Very short landing that
they did. So there's three airplanes that are on the
beach right now, facing out across the water.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Stories that we followed, of course.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
The big news that happened right at the beginning of
the show today was that La Mayor Karen Bass announced
Jim McDonald is going to serve as LA's new police chief.
This search took several months and they say it's going
to usher in a new era for one of our
largest police departments in the country. Who you can hear this,
(24:35):
You can hear the public address announcer. She's actually Thunderbird twelve,
I think, is what she said. She's the one who
does all of the public address announcing for the team
as they go through their demonstration.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Part of the thing I love about the air show
is the narration and the facts that you find out
about the particular aircraft and about the pilots.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
There they are right there.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Oh yeah, and you can hear right now in the
speaker Thunderbird one and here twelve.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Oh no, it was under one.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
She had piped in.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Oh that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, Which again it's really hard to call this game
on the radio.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
But there's another airplane, and there's another.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Airplanes are for information, and they are fast, and they
are Jets America.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It is going to be a beautiful day and we'll
be out here until one o'clock watching all.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Of this go down. But there's other stuff that's going on.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
The big deal in nationally was that the International Longshoreman's
Association decided that they were going to go back to work.
They've agreed on a tenant of deal.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Thank god.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
So you can all stop hoarding your toilet paper, Okay, now,
So then let's get to that, because I feel like,
let's get to that.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
This is something that you said, how much toilet paper
does one person actually needs?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
And you said that you use twelve to fifteen squares
and I felt like that was a lot.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
And then in the break you said, well, I use
like three or four the first.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Wiping, and then three or four for the second wiping,
and three or four for the third wiping. And I
felt like three wipes is maybe overkilled.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Okay, again, I've.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Never sensed a problem with you in that department, so
I'm whatever you're doing is working. I just feel like
you're using too much toilet paper.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Well, apparently it's a pretty divisive issue because some people
are saying I'm doing it, some people are saying I'm
doing it perfectly, and others are worried that you're not
clean enough.
Speaker 12 (26:32):
Oh so, welcome back Shannon from your suspension, Gary, twelve
to fifteen squares. You're not a man, You're a freak.
You're out of your fricking mind. No one does that.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Okay, so there's one.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
I'm bad because I didn't go that far. And again, I.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Didn't get suspended for crying out loud. If I got suspended,
I would do nothing, but talk about how I got suspended.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
I would be so proud of that. Are you kidding?
Speaker 13 (26:57):
My shnnon welcome back of squares a dirty bam check yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
See four squares myself and I am clean again.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Do you realize what we're talking?
Speaker 14 (27:10):
Okay, hey guys, good morning. I use Kirkland toilet paper,
and just like you, Shannon, I use four four squares
and I folded the third change the work just fine.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
We're learning so much about all of us.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
And by the way, we're not We have not even

crumplers are are They are living on the edge.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
We're gonna have a happy day because we're talking about
squares and how they were.
Speaker 13 (28:38):
One of the best investments I ever made was up
a day that you just add to your existing toilet
and you don't have to use that much paper to
just blot the wet blots of.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
The Yeah, bedays are great.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
When we went to Japan, there were bedeys everywhere and
it was just a way of life. It was a
way of life, and it really does it does the trick.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
It changes your life. Huh.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
Okay, do you guys have to step your wipe game up?
Speaker 4 (29:07):

Speaker 6 (29:09):
You got to use Wipeeshow.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Wis clogged the system?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
They're not. There's there's no such thing such a no.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I mean, I mean they're good for, like, you know,
home healthcare reasons, but you can't use wipe bees like
on the regular.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
Sorry, are we getting into too much deta.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Just realize what we're talking about.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Well, we're talking about wipe.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Gary, Yes we are.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
We're at the beach.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
What do you want us to do?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Break down Obamacare or something?
Speaker 4 (29:40):
We could talk about the Menendez brothers.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Have you heard about this whole thing that George gascon
hold a news Contrascon.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Is such a buffoon.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
The fact that he's trying to capitalize on the murder
of two people for political points in an election.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Season is gross.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Where have you been for all the current victim and
the victims' families.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
You're going to take.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Up the cause of these two murderers, these two elite, rich,
spoiled children who gunned down their parents. Listen, everyone goes
through some sort of issue or abuse or whatnot.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
It made me not abuse, but you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Like the whole everybody got something, yes, and they don't
go on to kill people.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
No.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
So, for the love, when I did see that news
conference yesterday, it's such an asshat.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
It just seemed like that's exactly what it was.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
It's a blatan it's a blatant grab and.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
It's one of those things where it doesn't make a
lot of sense for him.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Well, and you can say you're reviewing it.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
It's an easy win right this way you make the
libs happy and you make everyone else happy.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
That you're just review It's an easy way to say
I'm doing nothing, but I'm kind of doing something.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Reviewing a case.
Speaker 12 (30:46):
Right.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
And furthermore, he doesn't even have enough experience to review
any trial transcript. He has not the experience to review
a dy traffic report. What's he going to do review
the case. Yeah, he'd probably used what was admissible and
what was in.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Twenty five to thirty squad.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
We have more legal experience than he.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Does about that. He said in that news conference yesterday.
There's no question that Eric and Lyle did kill their parents, there's.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
No question about it.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
But he said the issue is whether or not the
jury actually heard evidence that their father had molested them.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
The evidence that.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Was talking about evidence though it was their word, right,
there was no evidence.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Well, the only other thing was that this guy from
Minudo supposedly may have also been molested.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
By the dad.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
But the thing is the first trial that ended in
a mistrial, they did talk about the sexual abuse.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
It was not used in the other in the second
trial where they were found guilty.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Here's the other bad thing for George Gascon and the
optics of this is the reason people are talking about
this is because of the Ryan Murphy adaptation of the
story on Netflix but wildly popular. I watched the whole thing.
I finished it up this weekend or this week, and
it is such a gross depiction and there's no evidence
(32:13):
that any of these things happen.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
So the fact that George Gascone.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Is a sitting da who is giving credence to what
is clearly a dramaedy of real life events is kind
of silly. You sound silly that the fact that you're
going to take a look about this again because of
a stupid drama, like, you sound like a silly child.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
It's that show really made me think.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
It's like it's a Ryan Murphy show.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Here's what also worries me about that is that he
has surrounded himself with people who can't tell him that
or won't tell him that right, or.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Don't recognize or just as dumb right. And that's that
I think.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Is also a big issue when you talk about you
know why it's so important for us to pay attention
to who is the district?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
You stand my grandmother on Facebook being like we need
to take a look at this Menendez case. After I
watch that show, you're like, oh, okay, bless your hurt.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
That's sweet.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
But the sitting DA is moved by a TV show.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Yes, yeah, great, that's what we mean exactly. All right,
