Speaker 2 (00:15):
Judges for one thousand dollars Judges.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Judge Turpin is an antagonist in this Sondheim musical about
a demon barber.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I know you know it, but you can't come up
with it. I was doing this earlier.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I've seen it, the demon Barber of Fleet Street, and
his name it is.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
It's so elusive in my brain.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I know I had the same problem this morning when
I looked at the question. I don't know Sweeney tall
Green and now you just want to slap yourself upside
the head.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yes, and make meat pies out of human beings? What
else is going on?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Time for What's Happening?
Speaker 4 (01:03):
What's Happening is sponsored by Abner Gat Water Damage, Fire
Damage Burglary called Public Adjuster Abner Gat eight one eight
nine one seven five to two five six. Walmart has
been ordered to pay millions of dollars for disposing of
toxic medical wasteed local landfills and getting rid of expired
(01:23):
boloney by giving it to Tiger King.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
And Crazy Panda or whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
This came out of the California Attorney General's Office, Jim Crazy,
Jim Crazy, the California Department of Toxic Substance Control, and
DAS from twelve different counties. The agreement came out yesterday,
expected to be signed into effect by a judge in
Alameda County. They said that dozens of statewide audits conducted
(01:52):
from twenty fifteen to twenty one found that walmart illegally
disposed of sensitive waste in just regular trashman and then
took those bins to local landfills that were not equipped
to handle that type of material. So per the settlement,
they'll be ordered to pay about four point three million
civil penalties and another three point two million to recoup costs.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
US said that three thousand North Korean troops have deployed
to Russia and are training at several locations, calling the
move very serious, warning that those forces will be fair
game if they go into combat in Ukraine. This obviously
raises the potential for North Koreans to join Russian forces
in Ukraine and suggests expanded military ties between the two
(02:35):
countries as weapons and troops are needed in Moscow to
gain ground locally.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
The biggest story was the death of Dodgers' pitcher Fernando Vealezuela. He,
at the age of sixty three, very young, died. We
knew that the Dodgers had said that he had stepped
away from his broadcasting duties late in the season was
not going to be available for the playoffs, but we
(03:03):
didn't know exactly how dire this was. He died yesterday
at the age of sixty three, survived by his wife Linda,
four grandchildren, seven grandchildren, and extended family. In the next segment,
we'll talk more about people's memories of Fernando Valence Whale
and why it's so important at this time of years.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Just before the World.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Series, DAW was currently down four thirty Apparently all stacks
tanking on Wall Street that has been down at over
five hundred points at times S and P five hundred
has been down over one percent. NASDAK has been down
by more than three hundred and seventy five points today.
This says the Treasury yields rise as as investers have
concerns the Federal Reserve may not cut interest rates at
(03:43):
their next meeting.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I also saw a story about the sales of existing
homes in the US on track for the worst year
since nineteen ninety five. Very high home prices that we've
seen elevated mortgage rates or keeping potential home buyers on
the sidelines. So sales of previously owned homes in the
first nine of this year lower than the same time
last year, which was already bad. So existing home sales
(04:06):
in September fell one percent from the month before that
to a citizily seasonally adjusted annual rate of three point
eight four million units.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Sad news out of Wyoming. Grizzly Bear three ninety nine,
a legend nearly thirty years in age who had nearly
two dozen cubs over the years, has been killed in
a vehicle collision south of Grand Teton National Park. What
kind of car does a bear drive? Why is your
(04:39):
face so serious? What kind of a car does a
bear drive? I'm talking about the death of Grizzly Bear
three ninety nine right now.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, but you just said he was in a car wreck.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
The bear was hit by a car. Her identity was
a stack.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Would a bear be driving a car and hit another bear?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Some days I just can't with you.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Oh some days, yeah, I just can't.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So the bear died.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
The bear died, gosh wow, twenty eight years old, the
oldest known reproducing female grizzly bear and the greater Yellowstone ecosystem.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
She was still cranking out those cubs.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
That's not appropriate. What do you mean, bear? Love is
still love?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
She liked a lot of love, didn't she? Two dozen?
Could you imagine that birthing two dozen bears?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Could I? No?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Maybe maybe one dozen? Two dozens too many? When we
come back the latest on the death of Fernando Valenzuela,
your memories of Do.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
They have their little clause when they come out?
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
It's a good question. I'm hoping they keep them to themselves. Yeah,
they don't like Wow.
Speaker 5 (05:56):

It's sick and at least forty nine people in ten states.
One person died, ten were hospitalized, includes a child hospitalized
with severe kidney complications. They've taken it off the menu
in the affected areas.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
We saw lebron James and his oldest son Bronnie become
the first father son and to share an NBA court together.
And last night's one ten, one oh three win over
the Timberwolves. Trump, does Brownie last the season?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Do you think I don't watch Lakers basketball enough to
know the answer to that. Trump will conduct an interview
with Joe Rogan for The Popular podcast on Friday. Trump
and Rogan have a complicated history. The two shook hands
spoke briefly at a UFC fight, but Trump criticized Rogan
after he said that then candidate Robert Kennedy Junior was
(07:08):
the only one running for president who made sense to him.
Rogan later clarified his comments were not an endorsement of Kennedy.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, that was also, we never really did hear why
former President Trump canceled that event last night with RFK Junior.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Oh, that's right, there was. They said it was a
scheduling issue.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
But does that mean that he's starting to show some
cracks finally, that his you know, energizer Bunny level of
energy has starting to wane, or was there something else

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Fernando Valenzuela kind of a shock last night hearing that
he has died at age sixty three.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
We don't know the cause of death.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
We knew he stepped away from his broadcast job to
focus on his health not very long ago, but I
really spent the day, Really everyone has spent the day
thinking about what he meant to not just baseball, but
to the city, to Chavez Ravine, to the Dodgers organization,
to Latin fans as a whole, across the whole country.
(08:47):
It wasn't just attendance records at Dodger Stadium that he
smashed through in that dazzling rookie season in nineteen eighty one.
It were stadiums across the country where Latin baseball fans
would flocks to go see him. Somebody talked like them,
somebody who looked like them, and he was phenomenal in
that rookie season, one of the most decorated years for
(09:09):
a player ever. I don't know if it's the most decorated,
but it's certainly up there. We talked about him winning
his first eight games, five were shutouts. This was a
guy who never liked to give up the baseball, had
more full games in eighty six and eighty seven than
any other pitcher, and.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Then his no hitter in June of nineteen ninety.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Fernando already in the strike two pitch is hit back
to the box dribbling the second Samuel on the bed
cross the first double play. Fernando Velanzuela has pitched a
no hitter at ten seventeen in the evening of June
the twenty ninth, nineteen ninety. If you have a sombrero,
(09:52):
throw it to the.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Star sister A legend, And I mean you think about
the last time they won the World Series twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Everybody hated that year.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, but since then the Dodgers have lost Tommy Lasorda,
Fernando Vealezuela, and Vin Scully.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Nineteen eighty one, of course, the last time that the
Dodgers faced off with the Yankees in the World Series.
So the fact that this happened leading up to Game
one on Friday is incredible. And as Tim Cats told
us earlier, if it plays out, if the Dodgers don't
do it in five, if they need six, Game six
will be on Fernando Vealezuela's birthday, November.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
First, back here at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
Gearing Shannon, this is Joys. I'm really sad about this news. Wow,
want an impact Fernando had We migrated to this area
right in nineteen eighty one, and just remember fourteen year
old sports geek listening to play by play with Vin
(10:56):
Scully and just the excitement he brought to to La
and the impact to love baseball to this day.
Speaker 9 (11:03):
And yeah, very cool, sty Garion Channon, This is Bill.
I've been a long time Dodger fan and I can
remember anytime I got to see Fernando pitch in person,
he always won. He was such a big spirit in
Dodger Stadium, and I can totally see why the crowd
just went crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Thanks.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
It's funny that there. It's not funny, It's just it's
such an ingrained history here. I mean, we talked about
the passing of Vin Scully. People talked about just you
could hear his voice wherever you were. You could you
could go for a walk on a game night in
the valley and hear people listening to Vin Skelly calling
those games, and so many of them now obviously were
(11:48):
Fernando's games.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Hey, Garis, thank you so much for empery for Nando Suela.
He brings back a lot of memories back in I
take one, I was fifty sixty years old Mexican, really
not knowing what to do my life, and so when
I will hear the games of the radio. He just
inspired me to know that there's a Mexican left actually
(12:11):
came out to the US to accepting it just fulfill
his dreams.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Yeah, that's kind of what you were talking about earlier,
just that the impact far beyond Dodger Stadium in terms
of the cultural impact.
Speaker 10 (12:25):
Yeah, Thorny and Gary and Shannon. Okay, so back in
the late seventies, my boyfriend and I were invited to
this party that his sister and this man that she
was dating. Actually he was the owner of the Big
Bear Company grocery stores and anyway, it was a le
May said, I'm out he Alex's house. It was gorgeous
and we were partying and dancing, and all of a
(12:48):
sudden in walks in Johnny Dea, Cuisto, Dave Winfield and Fernando.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Wow that he just comes walking in.
Speaker 11 (12:58):
Shannon, it's Jen. I grew up in the San Fernando
Valley in Sherman Oaks, listening to Loman and Barkley on
KFI and Bruce Wayne doing the traffic. And I think
it was Bruce who during that time in nineteen eighties
would call it the San Fernando Valezuela whenever he reported
(13:18):
about our naval traffic. That's my memory.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's so sah do you say that?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Because when I was driving to work today and I
just looked at a freeway sign of course San Fernando,
and I thought, I wonder who played around with that?
Like I wonder if there was somebody of broadcasting at
the time that played around with San Fernando Valenzuela Valley
or so something like that.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I had that thought, and you were right, somebody did.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
That's awesome, all right?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Up next, what you watch on Wednesday?
Speaker 5 (13:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
McDonald says, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
McDonald says consumers should feel confident ordering from its restaurants
despite the coli outbreak link to the quarter pounders. The
outbreak has sickened at least forty nine people in ten states.
One person has died, and McDonald said it was informed
of the potential food safety issue by the CDC late
last week. They've been working closely with investigators. As of
(14:16):
right now, McDonald says they believe it came from onions.
The CDC said there is a possibility could also be
coming from the patties on those quarter pounders.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I know you're heartless, but I want to make I'm listening,
but I want to make sure you come down on
the right side of history on this one, and so
far you're on the wrong side. You kind of laughed
off the death of Grizzly Bear three ninety nine. Grizzly
Bear three ninety nine is a celebrity. Everyone is beside
themselves with grief over this.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I'm going to push.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Back to suggest that not everyone is beside themselves.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Beloved by nature photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, other visitors to the
park for decades, Number three ninety nine confirmed dead after
being struck by a vehicle. Grizzly Number three ninety nine
gained fame for raising several litters of cubs within view
of roads in Grand Teton National Park. Over the years,
people have established social media channels, even written a book
(15:15):
about the bear, so it's fame spreads far beyond the
mountains of the park.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
When the Saint Louis Browns lost their great outfielder, Homer Smoot,
there were also people who were very upset and saddened.
I feel like you're making light making light. I'm just
suggesting that the wide swath of humanity that you believe
has been affected by the death of three ninety nine
may not be quite as white.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I'm trying to take your hand and lead you over
to the right side of history.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Stop touching me.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
The United States as three thousand North Korean troops have
deployed to Russia their training in several locations, saying this
move is very serious, warning that those forces would be
fair game if they go into combat in Ukraine. Of course,
it's raising a bunch of questions about the potential for
the North Koreans to join Russian forces in Ukraine, suggests
the expanded military ties between these two arguably rogue nations,
(16:15):
as Moscow's trying to get weapons.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
And men to gain ground in this war.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's not for what you watch on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
The following program is brought to.

You're pitching today, buddy, I'm not pitching Opening Day, he
said with a thick accent.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, but that's a Fernando Valenzuela came from the big legs.
I mean John and Ken. I don't know what they do.
I think they beat their board operators. Ken did, but
he's Ken did right, It was Ken. John has a docile.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
He's more of a touchy feely guy when it comes
to the.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Vis I don't think you should be doing that with you.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
That's what I heard.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
We've got a trio of trailers up on the website,
so check those out.
Speaker 4 (17:11):

three decades. Their daughter, Alexis, was born in sixty five.
They divorced a nineteen ninety and then has stayed She
has stayed single since then. I believe she's had a
couple of different romances, but the discussion Doug and the like, well,
I don't know if they ever got romantic. No, they're
just friendly partners. She talks about her time in federal
(18:16):
prison during this film. She's spent five months behind bars
in two thousand and four. Of course, she found guilty
on charges including conspiracy and obstruction of justice.

queason art and turned on high.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
You're listening to Garyan Shannon on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
His baseball always been full of obscure stats like that.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I mean, it was all the information was available to
do things like ops and slugging percentage and RBA, but
those stats didn't come about until late in the life
of baseball. And now it's just it's almost overwhelming. You
look at someone's they didn't have slash lines in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
In eighteen fifty eight, sportswriter Henry Chadwick created the box
score in New York City, the first way to numerically
track aspects of the game. It was based on his
experience with cricket and included the predecessors to modern day
statistics like batting average, runs scored, and runs allowed. In
(22:52):
eighteen seventy one, Hervey Dobson, a writer for the New
York Clipper, proposed the formula for batting average. That's in
the forties and fifties, branch Ricky and that guy Alan
Roth invented on base percentage, which did not become an
official statistic until nineteen eighty four. Really, and then in
(23:14):
nineteen sixty four Earnshaw Cook published Percentage Baseball, one of
the first books about stats.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
And now people make bazillions of dollars crunching numbers. What
year do you think saber metrics was coined?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Late nineties?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Nineteen eighty Wow, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
News to me.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
We are in the middle of watch you watch on
Wednesday talking about stuff that's going on in TV and movies.
Speaker 12 (23:39):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, we are watching Tulsa King and
my husband and I pick a show to watch and
that's what we chose and we really enjoy it, loving us.
Sylvester Stallone and I don't know what it is about
him in that role, but he really We love his acting.
So he's doing a great job. But Tulsa King, good show.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Why'd you say it like that?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Sounded like she liked a little bit more than his acting.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yes, So tonight another episode drive tonight.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Oh my gosh, I it should be out then.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
I don't know if it comes out at midnight on
Wednesday or if it comes out midnight it means nine o'clock.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, I think it's out now because I did get
an alert on from Apple shrinking.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yeah shrinking on Apple TV.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yeah, it's out already.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
This is Jason Siegel, Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams. This this
is a brilliant show. First or the first season was incredible.
Second season also now introduces a new character, Brett Goldstein.
You remember him as Roy Kent from Ted Ted Lasso.
Brett Goldstein has always been an executive producer on this show,
(24:53):
but now he comes back as no spoilers here, but
he comes back as the driver, the drunk driver who
killed Jason Siegel's wife before the first season.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
So there's four episodes available now. Two dropped last week,
two dropped today. And the thing I love about this
show conversely to like love is blind is you're rooting
for all of these people. They're wonderful characters, and it's
just it's such a warm, type of nice fall curl
up with a cast role or something type of good
(25:27):
feeling show.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
I'm hungry, bowl a hot dish like that. So that's
that's a great show that's on right now. We both
saw Woman of the Hour. This is Nanna Kendrick directed
produced movie about Rodney al Kala, who was arguably one
of the more proficient serial killers in California and other places, but.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
He was accused.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I think he was finally convicted of killing seven women
and girl roles, although they said in the title card
at the end of the movie that he has been
blamed for as many as one hundred and thirty murders.
And this is the story about how a struggling young
actress ends up on the dating game and chooses Rodney
(26:18):
Alkala as her date. And it talks about the creepy
I mean, I know that they take liberties and obviously
it's a fictionalized version but based in reality about what
happened between them, and it kind of goes through at
the you know, they interspersed the dating game issues scenes
with this guy's murder scenes a couple of.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Them throughout the show.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Well done, I suppose, great costume, great dating game set.
Tony Hale did a great job as the game show host,
but I just felt like it kind of left me
wanting a little bit more. I couldn't figure out why
my wife asked this question, why was it so centered
on Anna Kendrick?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Because did it?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I know, but it was from a different perspective, the
perspective of the woman on the dating game.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It was a different way to do it.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I thought it was clever, and I think she's a
wonderful actress.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yeah, she's the same person, right, I mean that just
seems like that's not great acting if you're the same.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Personating her as that person.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Keep it in your pants.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
No, no, you know what I mean. I just thought that.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
The scenes of what he did to those women, the
way they were depicted was a little bit more graphic
and raw than in other.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Movies, which is funny because I was going to say
the opposite. I was going to say they didn't get
too create. I mean, it was it was jarring with
some of the ways they did it were very uncomfortable,
and a couple of them were jarring, like it almost
like you.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Knew what was happening without seeing what was happening. But
I mean, yeah, like that first one, like the first
five minutes of the movie, you're just like, what the.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
F well, you know, yeah, like you said, you know going,
you know the information going into it. So it's hard
to kind of if you just were watching the movie
and knew nothing about it. Yeah, I don't know if
it would hit the same way.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
A couple of quick notes.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Carrie Russell's show The Diplomat is coming back for season two.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
It's a very very well done show.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
She did an interview about that, but was asked about
Felicity and said she would totally do a Felicity reboot
if it was if she had the right script.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
That was blind Spot for me. I never saw it.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
You never saw Felicity. No, I think you'd really like that.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Really.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
It was also a JJ Abrams vehicle back. I mean
that was kind of what made him.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
So it's science fiction no, not at all, Okay, but
that's the ironic part about it. What's the premise, shesus.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
She's a's I don't know. She's in New York and
works at a coffee shop or something like that. I
don't even remember exactly what I did. I just remember
that it was well done and my wife very much
enjoyed that show.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh okay, I will look it up and it'll be
one of those shows that was in the nineties that
I finally get around to figuring out.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Oh see, it's always nice to go for.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Filicity Porter is a shy girl who finds out what
life on her own is really following her high school graduation.
Sheltered as a child, Felicity never made any of her
own decisions that until she moves to New York to
go to college and follow high school classmate Ben Covington,
who she had a crush on throughout high school.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Once there, she starts to find herself and soon discovers
that her move to the Big Apple holds endless possibilities.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
And a lot of those cast members in Felicity were
all friends of JJ Abrams, so he uses.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Them in other movies.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Oh, that's funny. They end up showing up in some
of the Star Wars stuff. Late in life.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Not late in life, he did. Later in life, he did. Yes,

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yes? I would like that.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Choking on something? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Judges for one thousand dollars Judges.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Judge Turpin is an antagonist in this Sondheim musical about
a demon barber.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I know you know it, but you can't come up
with it. I was doing this earlier.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I've seen it, the demon Barber of Fleet Street, and
his name it is.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
It's so elusive in my brain.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I know I had the same problem this morning when
I looked at the question. I don't know Sweeney tall
Green and now you just want to slap yourself upside
the head.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yes, and make meat pies out of human beings? What
else is going on?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Time for What's Happening?
Speaker 4 (01:03):
What's Happening is sponsored by Abner Gat Water Damage, Fire
Damage Burglary called Public Adjuster Abner Gat eight one eight
nine one seven five to two five six. Walmart has
been ordered to pay millions of dollars for disposing of
toxic medical wasteed local landfills and getting rid of expired
(01:23):
boloney by giving it to Tiger King.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
And Crazy Panda or whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
This came out of the California Attorney General's Office, Jim Crazy,
Jim Crazy, the California Department of Toxic Substance Control, and
DAS from twelve different counties. The agreement came out yesterday,
expected to be signed into effect by a judge in
Alameda County. They said that dozens of statewide audits conducted
(01:52):
from twenty fifteen to twenty one found that walmart illegally
disposed of sensitive waste in just regular trashman and then
took those bins to local landfills that were not equipped
to handle that type of material. So per the settlement,
they'll be ordered to pay about four point three million
civil penalties and another three point two million to recoup costs.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
US said that three thousand North Korean troops have deployed
to Russia and are training at several locations, calling the
move very serious, warning that those forces will be fair
game if they go into combat in Ukraine. This obviously
raises the potential for North Koreans to join Russian forces
in Ukraine and suggests expanded military ties between the two
(02:35):
countries as weapons and troops are needed in Moscow to
gain ground locally.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
The biggest story was the death of Dodgers' pitcher Fernando Vealezuela. He,
at the age of sixty three, very young, died. We
knew that the Dodgers had said that he had stepped
away from his broadcasting duties late in the season was
not going to be available for the playoffs, but we
(03:03):
didn't know exactly how dire this was. He died yesterday
at the age of sixty three, survived by his wife Linda,
four grandchildren, seven grandchildren, and extended family. In the next segment,
we'll talk more about people's memories of Fernando Valence Whale
and why it's so important at this time of years.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Just before the World.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Series, DAW was currently down four thirty Apparently all stacks
tanking on Wall Street that has been down at over
five hundred points at times S and P five hundred
has been down over one percent. NASDAK has been down
by more than three hundred and seventy five points today.
This says the Treasury yields rise as as investers have
concerns the Federal Reserve may not cut interest rates at
(03:43):
their next meeting.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I also saw a story about the sales of existing
homes in the US on track for the worst year
since nineteen ninety five. Very high home prices that we've
seen elevated mortgage rates or keeping potential home buyers on
the sidelines. So sales of previously owned homes in the
first nine of this year lower than the same time
last year, which was already bad. So existing home sales
(04:06):
in September fell one percent from the month before that
to a citizily seasonally adjusted annual rate of three point
eight four million units.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Sad news out of Wyoming. Grizzly Bear three ninety nine,
a legend nearly thirty years in age who had nearly
two dozen cubs over the years, has been killed in
a vehicle collision south of Grand Teton National Park. What
kind of car does a bear drive? Why is your
(04:39):
face so serious? What kind of a car does a
bear drive? I'm talking about the death of Grizzly Bear
three ninety nine right now.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, but you just said he was in a car wreck.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
The bear was hit by a car. Her identity was
a stack.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Would a bear be driving a car and hit another bear?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Some days I just can't with you.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Oh some days, yeah, I just can't.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So the bear died.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
The bear died, gosh wow, twenty eight years old, the
oldest known reproducing female grizzly bear and the greater Yellowstone ecosystem.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
She was still cranking out those cubs.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
That's not appropriate. What do you mean, bear? Love is
still love?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
She liked a lot of love, didn't she? Two dozen?
Could you imagine that birthing two dozen bears?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Could I? No?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Maybe maybe one dozen? Two dozens too many? When we
come back the latest on the death of Fernando Valenzuela,
your memories of Do.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
They have their little clause when they come out?
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
It's a good question. I'm hoping they keep them to themselves. Yeah,
they don't like Wow.
Speaker 5 (05:56):

It's sick and at least forty nine people in ten states.
One person died, ten were hospitalized, includes a child hospitalized
with severe kidney complications. They've taken it off the menu
in the affected areas.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
We saw lebron James and his oldest son Bronnie become
the first father son and to share an NBA court together.
And last night's one ten, one oh three win over
the Timberwolves. Trump, does Brownie last the season?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Do you think I don't watch Lakers basketball enough to
know the answer to that. Trump will conduct an interview
with Joe Rogan for The Popular podcast on Friday. Trump
and Rogan have a complicated history. The two shook hands
spoke briefly at a UFC fight, but Trump criticized Rogan
after he said that then candidate Robert Kennedy Junior was
(07:08):
the only one running for president who made sense to him.
Rogan later clarified his comments were not an endorsement of Kennedy.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, that was also, we never really did hear why
former President Trump canceled that event last night with RFK Junior.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Oh, that's right, there was. They said it was a
scheduling issue.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
But does that mean that he's starting to show some
cracks finally, that his you know, energizer Bunny level of
energy has starting to wane, or was there something else
that went on We never heard about that before we

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Fernando Valenzuela kind of a shock last night hearing that
he has died at age sixty three.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
We don't know the cause of death.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
We knew he stepped away from his broadcast job to
focus on his health not very long ago, but I
really spent the day, Really everyone has spent the day
thinking about what he meant to not just baseball, but
to the city, to Chavez Ravine, to the Dodgers organization,
to Latin fans as a whole, across the whole country.
(08:47):
It wasn't just attendance records at Dodger Stadium that he
smashed through in that dazzling rookie season in nineteen eighty one.
It were stadiums across the country where Latin baseball fans
would flocks to go see him. Somebody talked like them,
somebody who looked like them, and he was phenomenal in
that rookie season, one of the most decorated years for
(09:09):
a player ever. I don't know if it's the most decorated,
but it's certainly up there. We talked about him winning
his first eight games, five were shutouts. This was a
guy who never liked to give up the baseball, had
more full games in eighty six and eighty seven than
any other pitcher, and.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Then his no hitter in June of nineteen ninety.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Fernando already in the strike two pitch is hit back
to the box dribbling the second Samuel on the bed
cross the first double play. Fernando Velanzuela has pitched a
no hitter at ten seventeen in the evening of June
the twenty ninth, nineteen ninety. If you have a sombrero,
(09:52):
throw it to the.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Star sister A legend, And I mean you think about
the last time they won the World Series twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Everybody hated that year.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, but since then the Dodgers have lost Tommy Lasorda,
Fernando Vealezuela, and Vin Scully.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Nineteen eighty one, of course, the last time that the
Dodgers faced off with the Yankees in the World Series.
So the fact that this happened leading up to Game
one on Friday is incredible. And as Tim Cats told
us earlier, if it plays out, if the Dodgers don't
do it in five, if they need six, Game six
will be on Fernando Vealezuela's birthday, November.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
First, back here at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
Gearing Shannon, this is Joys. I'm really sad about this news. Wow,
want an impact Fernando had We migrated to this area
right in nineteen eighty one, and just remember fourteen year
old sports geek listening to play by play with Vin
(10:56):
Scully and just the excitement he brought to to La
and the impact to love baseball to this day.
Speaker 9 (11:03):
And yeah, very cool, sty Garion Channon, This is Bill.
I've been a long time Dodger fan and I can
remember anytime I got to see Fernando pitch in person,
he always won. He was such a big spirit in
Dodger Stadium, and I can totally see why the crowd
just went crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Thanks.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
It's funny that there. It's not funny, It's just it's
such an ingrained history here. I mean, we talked about
the passing of Vin Scully. People talked about just you
could hear his voice wherever you were. You could you
could go for a walk on a game night in
the valley and hear people listening to Vin Skelly calling
those games, and so many of them now obviously were
(11:48):
Fernando's games.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Hey, Garis, thank you so much for empery for Nando Suela.
He brings back a lot of memories back in I
take one, I was fifty sixty years old Mexican, really
not knowing what to do my life, and so when
I will hear the games of the radio. He just
inspired me to know that there's a Mexican left actually
(12:11):
came out to the US to accepting it just fulfill
his dreams.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Yeah, that's kind of what you were talking about earlier,
just that the impact far beyond Dodger Stadium in terms
of the cultural impact.
Speaker 10 (12:25):
Yeah, Thorny and Gary and Shannon. Okay, so back in
the late seventies, my boyfriend and I were invited to
this party that his sister and this man that she
was dating. Actually he was the owner of the Big
Bear Company grocery stores and anyway, it was a le
May said, I'm out he Alex's house. It was gorgeous
and we were partying and dancing, and all of a
(12:48):
sudden in walks in Johnny Dea, Cuisto, Dave Winfield and Fernando.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Wow that he just comes walking in.
Speaker 11 (12:58):
Shannon, it's Jen. I grew up in the San Fernando
Valley in Sherman Oaks, listening to Loman and Barkley on
KFI and Bruce Wayne doing the traffic. And I think
it was Bruce who during that time in nineteen eighties
would call it the San Fernando Valezuela whenever he reported
(13:18):
about our naval traffic. That's my memory.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's so sah do you say that?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Because when I was driving to work today and I
just looked at a freeway sign of course San Fernando,
and I thought, I wonder who played around with that?
Like I wonder if there was somebody of broadcasting at
the time that played around with San Fernando Valenzuela Valley
or so something like that.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I had that thought, and you were right, somebody did.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
That's awesome, all right?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Up next, what you watch on Wednesday?
Speaker 5 (13:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
McDonald says, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
McDonald says consumers should feel confident ordering from its restaurants
despite the coli outbreak link to the quarter pounders. The
outbreak has sickened at least forty nine people in ten states.
One person has died, and McDonald said it was informed
of the potential food safety issue by the CDC late
last week. They've been working closely with investigators. As of
(14:16):
right now, McDonald says they believe it came from onions.
The CDC said there is a possibility could also be
coming from the patties on those quarter pounders.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I know you're heartless, but I want to make I'm listening,
but I want to make sure you come down on
the right side of history on this one, and so
far you're on the wrong side. You kind of laughed
off the death of Grizzly Bear three ninety nine. Grizzly
Bear three ninety nine is a celebrity. Everyone is beside
themselves with grief over this.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I'm going to push.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Back to suggest that not everyone is beside themselves.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Beloved by nature photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, other visitors to the
park for decades, Number three ninety nine confirmed dead after
being struck by a vehicle. Grizzly Number three ninety nine
gained fame for raising several litters of cubs within view
of roads in Grand Teton National Park. Over the years,
people have established social media channels, even written a book
(15:15):
about the bear, so it's fame spreads far beyond the
mountains of the park.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
When the Saint Louis Browns lost their great outfielder, Homer Smoot,
there were also people who were very upset and saddened.
I feel like you're making light making light. I'm just
suggesting that the wide swath of humanity that you believe
has been affected by the death of three ninety nine
may not be quite as white.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I'm trying to take your hand and lead you over
to the right side of history.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Stop touching me.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
The United States as three thousand North Korean troops have
deployed to Russia their training in several locations, saying this
move is very serious, warning that those forces would be
fair game if they go into combat in Ukraine. Of course,
it's raising a bunch of questions about the potential for
the North Koreans to join Russian forces in Ukraine, suggests
the expanded military ties between these two arguably rogue nations,
(16:15):
as Moscow's trying to get weapons.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
And men to gain ground in this war.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's not for what you watch on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
The following program is brought to.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Never happens. What he's doing, My god.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
They win their kids.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
USA television.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
You've been watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
It's like when tommylus Sword. It's old Fernando Valenzuela.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
You're pitching today, buddy, I'm not pitching Opening Day, he
said with a thick accent.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, but that's a Fernando Valenzuela came from the big legs.
I mean John and Ken. I don't know what they do.
I think they beat their board operators. Ken did, but
he's Ken did right, It was Ken. John has a docile.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
He's more of a touchy feely guy when it comes
to the.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Vis I don't think you should be doing that with you.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
That's what I heard.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
We've got a trio of trailers up on the website,
so check those out.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
One of them is for this documentary about Martha Stewart.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Have you seen much about this?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
She knows.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
She's been out and doing some interviews and things about this.
She was at the premiere of the Netflix documentary on
Monday night at the Red Carpet at the Paris Theater
in New York City.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
This is part of the trailer.
Speaker 11 (17:30):
She was preposterously perfect, perfect little pattern, perfect perfect, perfect.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Things look fabulous, But are they? Young women, listen to
my advice.

You're married and your husband starts to cheat on.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You, he's a piece of shit.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
But I don't think Andy ever knew about Okay, Oh
my goodness.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
She married in nineteen sixty one and married for almost
three decades. Their daughter, Alexis, was born in sixty five.
They divorced a nineteen ninety and then has stayed She
has stayed single since then. I believe she's had a
couple of different romances, but the discussion Doug and the like, well,
I don't know if they ever got romantic. No, they're
just friendly partners. She talks about her time in federal
(18:16):
prison during this film. She's spent five months behind bars
in two thousand and four. Of course, she found guilty
on charges including conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
She spent time in solitary, no food or water. Really,
she said those prosecutors should have been put in a
queason art and turned on high.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Talks about her comeback after her release from prison. It
will be available to stream on Netflix starting next week.
So next Wednesday you can watch that Martha Stewart documentary.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
We've talked before about the influx.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Now is right about the time that you're going to
start seeing a bunch of Christmas movies. Christmas Comes to
Roost and Christmas Time in the Hamptons or whatever they are.
Netflix just released their new holiday movies Meet Me Next Christmas,

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh God, all we need is for me to break
this to save her parents. Small town bar Ashley, a
former big city dancer, decides to stage a saucy Christmas
theme showcase h One of the men performing in the
show is Luke, a contractor thrown out of his comfort
zone by Ashley's racy demands, and the two naturally spark
(20:36):
up a connection. They say it's magic, Mike, but do
it Christmas?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Like hop Magic Mike?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Secret very protective over magic Mike.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
I'm sorry, it was a piece of art, Matt. What
is it?
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Our little secret? Our little secret. Lindsay Lowan teaming up
with the with Netflix once again.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
I love a Lindsay Loewen Freaking Caliday movie.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
She plays Avery, a woman in a nightmare situation forced
to spend the Holidays with her ex boyfriend upon discovering
that their current partners are siblings.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Oh, they're going to end up together again, you know it?
And then Carrie on is being described as like diehard.
I listen, I'll watch this. This is gonna be a
good one.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I'll watch all of these.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Taron Egerton plays a TSA agent working Christmas Eve and
then a bad guy played by Jason Bateman.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
When is Jason Bateman played a bad Guy.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I know, I'm kind of looking forward to that.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
It could be the action packed future holiday classic.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Taron Egerton. He looks like a little bit like an elf.
Was he in Game of Thrones?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
No?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
He played Elton John in that biopedge.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Okay, that's what I was thinking of.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
And he's been in the Kingsman Okay, ghost movies. All right, Okay,
two shows. I finally watched the one. I think you
said you watch Woman of the Hour? Yes, with Anna Kendrick.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
What do you think? Wait, don't tell me, we'll come
back and do that.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
You're listening to Garyan Shannon on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
His baseball always been full of obscure stats like that.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I mean, it was all the information was available to
do things like ops and slugging percentage and RBA, but
those stats didn't come about until late in the life
of baseball. And now it's just it's almost overwhelming. You
look at someone's they didn't have slash lines in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
In eighteen fifty eight, sportswriter Henry Chadwick created the box
score in New York City, the first way to numerically
track aspects of the game. It was based on his
experience with cricket and included the predecessors to modern day
statistics like batting average, runs scored, and runs allowed. In
(22:52):
eighteen seventy one, Hervey Dobson, a writer for the New
York Clipper, proposed the formula for batting average. That's in
the forties and fifties, branch Ricky and that guy Alan
Roth invented on base percentage, which did not become an
official statistic until nineteen eighty four. Really, and then in
(23:14):
nineteen sixty four Earnshaw Cook published Percentage Baseball, one of
the first books about stats.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
And now people make bazillions of dollars crunching numbers. What
year do you think saber metrics was coined?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Late nineties?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Nineteen eighty Wow, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
News to me.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
We are in the middle of watch you watch on
Wednesday talking about stuff that's going on in TV and movies.
Speaker 12 (23:39):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, we are watching Tulsa King and
my husband and I pick a show to watch and
that's what we chose and we really enjoy it, loving us.
Sylvester Stallone and I don't know what it is about
him in that role, but he really We love his acting.
So he's doing a great job. But Tulsa King, good show.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Why'd you say it like that?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Sounded like she liked a little bit more than his acting.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yes, So tonight another episode drive tonight.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Oh my gosh, I it should be out then.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
I don't know if it comes out at midnight on
Wednesday or if it comes out midnight it means nine o'clock.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, I think it's out now because I did get
an alert on from Apple shrinking.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yeah shrinking on Apple TV.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yeah, it's out already.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
This is Jason Siegel, Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams. This this
is a brilliant show. First or the first season was incredible.
Second season also now introduces a new character, Brett Goldstein.
You remember him as Roy Kent from Ted Ted Lasso.
Brett Goldstein has always been an executive producer on this show,
(24:53):
but now he comes back as no spoilers here, but
he comes back as the driver, the drunk driver who
killed Jason Siegel's wife before the first season.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
So there's four episodes available now. Two dropped last week,
two dropped today. And the thing I love about this
show conversely to like love is blind is you're rooting
for all of these people. They're wonderful characters, and it's
just it's such a warm, type of nice fall curl
up with a cast role or something type of good
(25:27):
feeling show.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
I'm hungry, bowl a hot dish like that. So that's
that's a great show that's on right now. We both
saw Woman of the Hour. This is Nanna Kendrick directed
produced movie about Rodney al Kala, who was arguably one
of the more proficient serial killers in California and other places, but.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
He was accused.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I think he was finally convicted of killing seven women
and girl roles, although they said in the title card
at the end of the movie that he has been
blamed for as many as one hundred and thirty murders.
And this is the story about how a struggling young
actress ends up on the dating game and chooses Rodney
(26:18):
Alkala as her date. And it talks about the creepy
I mean, I know that they take liberties and obviously
it's a fictionalized version but based in reality about what
happened between them, and it kind of goes through at
the you know, they interspersed the dating game issues scenes
with this guy's murder scenes a couple of.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Them throughout the show.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Well done, I suppose, great costume, great dating game set.
Tony Hale did a great job as the game show host,
but I just felt like it kind of left me
wanting a little bit more. I couldn't figure out why
my wife asked this question, why was it so centered
on Anna Kendrick?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Because did it?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I know, but it was from a different perspective, the
perspective of the woman on the dating game.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It was a different way to do it.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I thought it was clever, and I think she's a
wonderful actress.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yeah, she's the same person, right, I mean that just
seems like that's not great acting if you're the same.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Personating her as that person.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Keep it in your pants.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
No, no, you know what I mean. I just thought that.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
The scenes of what he did to those women, the
way they were depicted was a little bit more graphic
and raw than in other.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Movies, which is funny because I was going to say
the opposite. I was going to say they didn't get
too create. I mean, it was it was jarring with
some of the ways they did it were very uncomfortable,
and a couple of them were jarring, like it almost
like you.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Knew what was happening without seeing what was happening. But
I mean, yeah, like that first one, like the first
five minutes of the movie, you're just like, what the.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
F well, you know, yeah, like you said, you know going,
you know the information going into it. So it's hard
to kind of if you just were watching the movie
and knew nothing about it. Yeah, I don't know if
it would hit the same way.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
A couple of quick notes.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Carrie Russell's show The Diplomat is coming back for season two.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
It's a very very well done show.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
She did an interview about that, but was asked about
Felicity and said she would totally do a Felicity reboot
if it was if she had the right script.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
That was blind Spot for me. I never saw it.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
You never saw Felicity. No, I think you'd really like that.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
Really.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
It was also a JJ Abrams vehicle back. I mean
that was kind of what made him.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
So it's science fiction no, not at all, Okay, but
that's the ironic part about it. What's the premise, shesus.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
She's a's I don't know. She's in New York and
works at a coffee shop or something like that. I
don't even remember exactly what I did. I just remember
that it was well done and my wife very much
enjoyed that show.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh okay, I will look it up and it'll be
one of those shows that was in the nineties that
I finally get around to figuring out.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Oh see, it's always nice to go for.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Filicity Porter is a shy girl who finds out what
life on her own is really following her high school graduation.
Sheltered as a child, Felicity never made any of her
own decisions that until she moves to New York to
go to college and follow high school classmate Ben Covington,
who she had a crush on throughout high school.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Once there, she starts to find herself and soon discovers
that her move to the Big Apple holds endless possibilities.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
And a lot of those cast members in Felicity were
all friends of JJ Abrams, so he uses.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Them in other movies.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Oh, that's funny. They end up showing up in some
of the Star Wars stuff. Late in life.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Not late in life, he did. Later in life, he did. Yes,
you've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
You can always hear us live on KFI six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
