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 A Trump ad that appeared during
NBC's coverage of a NASCAR race last night is reportedly
connected to Vice President Harris's surprise SNL appearance.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's where we kick off Swamp watch.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
The government doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
We're gonna make us like a reality TV show, A
bad Noos. Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hey Joe, a town all too clearly built on a
swamp and in so many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I have a batch of malarkey.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Boy said, drained the swamp.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I said, Oh, that's so he'll keep happen.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
You know the thing, Well, Kamala Harris made a very
dedicated campaign stop to New York.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
She was, I guess, on her way to Michigan.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
They diverted the plane, the Air Force two, and they
went to Saturday Night Live where she sat across Maya Rudolph,
who does an incredible Kamala Harris, and they did a
little motivational speech with each other.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
Take my Pamela, the American people want to stop the
chaos and end the DRAMAA with a cool new step
Mamala backing our Pajamala's and watch a rum Kamala like
legally Blondola and start decorating for Christmas, follow Lala La.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It was hard to take tis to tell the tell
the difference. They were very good together. But the thing
is is you're talking to an SNL audience and that
she's got all those boats. It's like Trump going on
a NASCAR broadcast. He's got those boats.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
And speaking of there was a lot that was made
about whether or not this was legal for Saturday Night
Live to do this without offering Trump equal time?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
What did it?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Lorden Michael say a while back, the reason that neither
one it appeared is because of the equal time provision.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yeah, he said, He said. The equal time rules are
the reason why the show didn't have either Trump or
Harrison during this cycle. So Brendan Carr, one of the
FCC commissioners, rebuked the show, said that the sketch was
a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC's equal
(02:22):
time rule because it came just a couple of days
before election day, within the seven day window that the
FCC gives campaigns to request equal time, and that they
wouldn't really actually be able to do what would be
considered equal time because it's not also the Saturday Night
Live broadcast, So they allowed the Trump campaign to put
together an add and this is what it sounded like.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
Hello to our great sports fans, and I hope you
have it a fantastic time. We're two days away from
the most important election in the history of our country.
We've got to save our country, and indeed saving it's
in very bad shape. The worst economic numbers in generations.
We just announced two days ago. We're losing jobs, We're
(03:04):
losing everything, including viability. We'd end up in a depression
based on what's been happening. We've never seen anything like it,
at least for the last forty years. We have to straighten.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Out our country.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
We have to close our borders, we have to lower
our taxes, we have to get rid of inflation, and
we're going to do it. Just remember Kamala and her
friends broke it.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I'll fetch it most.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
Important election and the history of our country.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Go and vote that. I'll fix it.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Line I thought was effective in that I don't know
where it's been for the last several months. I've only
seen it over the last week or two. The whole
thing about I'll fix it considering she broke it. That
to me is a better message than a lot of
the grievances that he's been airing on the campaign trail.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
The San Diego Zoo will be collaborating with Calm the
Meditation app to live stream baby animals tomorrow. Most of
the day there was a Leads research project on that
showed that fifty percent your stress is reduced by fifty
percent when you watch animals, baby animals, pictures videos.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
What have you?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
We asked earlier what kind of videos would you watch
to kind of take your mind off of politics. A
lot of people came up with the ones that would
actually be tear jerkers, which I thought was kind of
an interesting way to deal with the calamity that is
our political system right now. That you'd rather cry ugly
tears in your kitchen with a glass of shabbleis of
(04:38):
watching these videos than you would actually dealing with politics.
Speaker 8 (04:41):
Hey, Gary and Shennon, this is Jim from What's with
Your Paint? I love the cat videos where they're like
sneaking and the camera faided away, and then the cat
is closer, and then it fades away again, and then
the cat's real close, and then it fades away, and
then the cats right there in the texts those are good.
You guys have a good one.
Speaker 9 (05:01):
Love y'all.
Speaker 10 (05:01):
Bye.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I've never seen that. Oh you haven't seen that one. No,
those are very fun cats pouncing on you. Is this
what you do when you leave here? You are a secret.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
I'm sorry I didn't realize that that's what we're going
to do.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Is judge, judge judging.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I was curious you didn't tell me the truth about
the adult male theater for months.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
There's more than just males in it, by the way,
In fact, there are I think there are more women
than men.
Speaker 11 (05:28):
Garian Shannon, This is Eric from San Diego. I think
it's it's it's the people welcoming their troops home gets
me every time.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You know, yesterday at the football game Chargers Browns there
in Cleveland, they had their Salute to Service game, so
they had service members of all branches of the military
visible and getting their flowers as they should. They also
had members of the military singing all them music for timeouts,
TV breaks or what have you.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So they had the.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Instruments and they're singing and it was incredible. It was
It was really cool to just watch football and be
thankful that we live in this country and that there's
many who can do that. Yeah, and that there's men
and women who put their lives on the line, and
that there's a whole stadium of people that will support
them and stand and club and it was just wonderful.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It was the best of us.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
I think that that's what is missing a lot of
times on the broadcast as opposed to in stadium events
like that where there's baseball football. Those salutes to service
are so much more impactful when you're there in person
because you get to see the whole ceremonies. Sometimes on
TV they'll be like, oh, and by the way, we
(06:44):
honored an Air Force airmen.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
By the way we talked to you.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You don't get the whole story about the airmen and
what he went through.
Speaker 11 (06:50):
And yes, I like the videos where YouTubers get brand
and people money or walk up to their front door
and ask them how much the rent is and pay their.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Rent for the Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
There's a very calming video a series of a guy
who mows lawns, and I know that that sounds really lame.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
No, No, I've heard about this.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
It's about a thirty or forty minute, depending on the
size of the job, and it's all sped up. It's
usually over the course of probably eight or ten hours.
This guy takes this completely overgrown lot. There's no you
could barely see the house or the sidewalk or anything,
and he just mows the lawn and cleans it up.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, and they it's really soothing to watch the yard.
I don't know why, but it is.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Videos that constantly have me tearing up are the Dodo
videos where they redecue a dog.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh and then they find it a loving home at
the end.
Speaker 12 (07:42):
Every single time, I'm crying, keep up the good work,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, those will get yet.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Oh.
Speaker 12 (07:50):
There's this musician. He does remixes and it's called DJ
Cumberbund and he has one called The Next Thickness and
it's mixed up of like a bunch of heavy metal ish,
you know, like stuff and Doctor Dre Snoop Dog so
(08:10):
I can crip walk while I metal head bang.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It's pretty awesome crip walk. While I'm metal head Bang,
I can totally picture her doing that. Well.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Tomorrow, Election Day, we already know that some seventy five
million people seventy six million people have voted early, whether
it's mail in or early in person votes that have
been cast nationally. Alex Caparello is joining us live from
News Nation with the latest on all of this. And boy,
let's talk first about those early voters that we've seen.
(08:42):
These are, at least in terms of ignoring twenty twenty,
these are unprecedented mail in and early voting numbers.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, it's pretty amazing to see, isn't it. I mean,
this is democracy in action, and I think it's a
direct result of campaign messaging from both sides. What I
mean is that early voting has sort of been the
tried and true method of the Democratic Party. They've always
been really great at getting out there early, you know,
weeks ahead of time, days ahead of time, or even
(09:13):
mail in voting. But this was really the first time
we've seen the Republican Party and Republican voters really embraced
this method of letting their voice be heard. And you know,
I've been covering Trump's rallies all across these battleground states,
and I was always surprised, at least in the beginning
to look up and see huge banners that they vote early,
because that just really wasn't the messaging in the past. So, yes,
(09:35):
astounding turnout from both sides.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
We've seen.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
At least last week, we saw that the early voting
was said to be skewed towards Trump because when you
looked in Republican areas, there was a greater percentage in
swing states, a greater percentage of Republicans casting their ballots
early as opposed to what they did in twenty twenty.
(09:59):
Indicate hating that the turnout for Trump would be more
than it was the last time around. But what does
that pretend when it comes to election day? Maybe those
are people that are waiting till election day in some
of these areas.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, I mean, I think a great example would be Nevada.
Nevada which has historically swung more to the left and
to the right, but in this election cycle, it's having
a tremendous early voting turnout, particularly from Republicans. It's one
of those where actual early voting from Republicans actually outweighs
(10:34):
the Democrats. That being said, I think you bring up
a good point. The question will now be whether or
not this is sort of replacing the votes, the Republican
votes that would normally turn out on election day. Does
this so basically two lines of thought. Does this swing
a huge Republican advantage because now they're both getting out
early and they're going to show up big time on
(10:56):
election day? Or is this just replacing the election day
vote and it sort of you know, squares itself out
that way.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Question about polling, and I don't know if anybody's ever
really going to be able to figure this out. I've
been trying to keep an eye on polls with sort
of tongue in cheek, understanding that they're not necessarily giving
us the results of what the election will be, but
sort of public opinion the way it exists today or
the way when the questions are asked. We've had polls
(11:26):
wrong in twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, just in terms of
recent memory, and we go back to the same formulas.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Are we just.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Bad at polling or is the electorate changing quicker than
the polls can keep up with.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I think it's a little bit of both. I mean,
twenty sixteen was a prime example of how.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Polls got it wrong.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But you know a lot of pollsters, when asked how
we got it so wrong, will say that they did
not take into a counter factor and the changing electorate makeup.
That being said, we still go back every single election
cycle to those polls, right, because it's a good way,
or at least the way that people are able to
interpret the political sphere around them. I'm not saying it's
(12:09):
a good way for us to know what's happening or
what's important, or who these candidates are, but it is
a way for us to sort of keep our finger
on the pulse as a nation on what's happening. It's
also just important for people to understand that they need
to take them with the grain of salt. It's not
tried and true, it's not definitively what's going to happen.
It's entirely possible that you know, these polls are wrong.
(12:32):
But also we need to keep in mind with an
election like this, everything is within a margin of error
when it's this tight. So just because it says, you know,
Donald Trump's up one point in a certain battleground state,
doesn't mean Kamala Harris can't swing at four points. When
the actual election day occurs, do you.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Think it will be just your opinion alone definitive result
tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Gosh, I sure hope.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
So.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I mean the joke that I constantly make is, you know,
it would be great if it was a land flide
for either way, because I'm really concerned about, you know,
the aftermath after election day, if it is close in
any way, I think we are going to see counts
and recounts and lawsuits and fighting, and if it's a landslide,
hopefully it sort.
Speaker 9 (13:16):
Of campers that down.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I wish I could look through a crystal ball and
tell you what I see. All I can tell you
right now is, you know, the polls show it as
a toss up. The polls show within the margin of
era it could go either way. And just to my
last point, you know, just because it says that everything
is very close doesn't mean it couldn't be a landslide.
We'll just have to kind of wait and see.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, not a lot of the youth know about the
national nightmare of our youth that was Florida in two
thousand with the hanging chads. And that drama lasting forever.
I'm going all the way to the Supreme Court. So
I'm with you on that, Alex.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Thank you appreciate it. Yeah, thank you very much for
having me Aks.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Alex Caparella from News Nation. He'll be one of those
guys on the big board. I wanted to point out
something just quickly about polls and how disparate they can be.
Politico came out with a they called it the Last
Day on the Polar Coaster, and it compared New York
Times polls to something called focal data. And the only
(14:24):
battleground state that they agreed on was the state of Nevada,
where they both said that Harris leads by three points. Otherwise,
Arizona they had different leaders. Georgia they had different leaders,
Michigan they had different leaders. Nevada was the only one,
like I said, that was the same. North Carolina they
had different leaders. So, and I mean, those are respectable polls,
(14:45):
and they're completely different results. So they're not exactly the
same questions obviously, and the way that they do it
and who they call is different.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
But it's it's gonna be a it's gonna be a
lot of fun. I'd just watch good old squirrel cooking videos.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Squirrel cooking videos now stand by, I think he means
to cook a squirrel cooking.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Of course, what do you think the squirrels are cooking?
I've seen some of those. I've seen little squirrel, catch,
clean and cook.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Kevin shows the process of breaking down a squirrel and
preparing it in an easy to make, delicious to eat meal.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
Yeah. Hey, Garon Shannon, this is Angie from Ontario. As
far as what I watched, win some calmness. Most recently
it's been highlight for the World Series, whether it's Friday's
Grass Slam, all the Yankee Airs or the last anyone
shut them down? So go Dodgers, Gary.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Sorry, I'll take it this.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Did you see that they've hired Aaron Judge to drop
the ball at Times Square on New Year's Eve?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I made that joke about four days ago. You did not. Yeah,
I have actually have the receipts.
Speaker 13 (16:01):
I know this is gonna sound really gross, but videos
of people's like fungus overgrown toetials getting cut and cleaned
and then looking like semi normal or even callous removals,
those sort of things, that's a good pastime.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Sent Friday afternoon, whereas it was dropping the ball in the.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
But you didn't send it to me, No I did not.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Well, then I don't get blamed for stealing.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
It from you.
Speaker 10 (16:42):
Hey, Gary, Tito here well things that gave me every
time it's here up now, I'm about to turn fifty
and I'm a grandpa. Every time on my phone it
shows a little video comes out of my memories of
the last year, the last cup years, the date I
(17:03):
showed all those great pictures and memories.
Speaker 11 (17:05):
Yeah, I always here.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
So there's something about our phones that knows when someone dies. Oh,
in general, they it's they know something. When my daughter
broke up, I know a girl, sorry, she's I know
a young woman. She's in grad.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
School and she broke up with a boyfriend.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Within about a week or two of that happening, she
started being inundated with dating app ads.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
That being said, the phones also know when someone dies
because on iPhone specifically, you have the little panel up
on the front that they are on your main page
where the little pictures come up, right, constant pictures of
my mom, my dad, my dog, and my brother in law. Wow, constantly.
(17:55):
And I don't know if it's because and I didn't
have an inordinate number of pictures of those four people figures,
three people and a dog in my life, but that
that's what the phone chooses to show me.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
One of the reasons I stopped looking at Facebook, by
and large is because of the memories that it pops up.
It's awful, and not just the memories of people who
are now dead, but also the things that I wrote
fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
What the hell sad to remember who you were?
Speaker 9 (18:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I hate that person. I have nothing in common with
that person.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Dustin Cures Jem is a guy who ended up dead
in his tent in a camping trip in southwest Montana
a few weeks ago. This guy, Dustin, was alone at
the campsite for the night and saw some guy walking
up and offers that guy a beer. That guy turns
(18:50):
out to be forty one year old Darren Abbey, and
it was that friendly gesture of hey, you want a
beer that led law enforcement to the guy that they say,
kill Dustin. They said that Darren Abbey tried to avoid
being caught by removing items that he had touched from
the camp site, but it seems that he forgot the
(19:13):
act of kindness. They did announce he has confessed to
killing Dustin Chursom after being apprehended days earlier thanks to
DNA that was left on a beer camp upon finding
her boyfriend's body. Now that's got another twist in the story,
because they didn't we didn't know that it was the
girlfriend that found the body.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
We heard it was a friend.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Upon finding her boyfriend's body on the morning of October twelfth,
she called nine to one one saying that Kirstia may
have been killed by a bear based on how savage
the crime scene was.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
They say that these two men did not know each
other and that it may have been like a chance encounter,
a heat of the moment thing. Because they had both
planned a camp in the same spot.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Right across the border from Yellowstone.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Doesn't sound like campers are usually a peaceful people.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Dustin was going to spend the first night alone before
he was going to pick up his girlfriend the next day,
and then they were both going to camp together in
the wilderness, and the girlfriend was worried when he didn't
show the morning of October twelfth, so she drove out
to the campsite and that's where she found him dead.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
And remember we told you when that happened.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
They were still investigating this as a bear or possible
bear attack, and they had experts from the Department of
Montana's Department of Fishing, Wildlife, or whatever the version would
be there. They came out and said, no, we don't
see any sign of a bear attack, but.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
It was this guy who hit the other with a
piece of wood before stabbing him in the neck with
a screwdriver and taking an axe to the body.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Wow, what a way to go.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
If I want to get away from election stuff tomorrow,
I'm just going to replay the fifth inning of Game
five and watch the Yankees fall apart.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
That was epic.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
That was right.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Channon John from Iowa Funny Videos. I love to watch
pet videos and kids being funny. You got to check
out the video of the little girl who wants to
be a pickle for Halloween. It's hilarious. Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
You haven't seen that one?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
I have not.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
It sounds like this, Rory, what do you want to
dress up as for Halloween?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
A pickle? They keep asking her in these different scenes.
She's a restaurant, she's at home a pickle.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah, pickles are great, and she i like it.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
She's like she's she's sticking to it. She just wasn't.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Just like you know, the one time you told your
parents you wanted to be called Phonsie, she really stuck
to her guns.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Okay, let me say something really quickly. It was more
than one time. It's just that they ignored me multiple times.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
How old were you when he wanted to be called
fond six? Okay, and you told them? How many times
would you say?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Was it a day?
Speaker 12 (22:10):
A week?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
How long? When I'm six?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
A week is a long time, So probably three or
four days there where I was like mother, father, I
would prefer to be called Arthur Fonzarelli.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
How did you think you could tell them that you
wanted to change your name?
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Like?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
How did who did you think you were to tell?
Your point? Where do your names come from? Your parents?
Speaker 5 (22:33):
I didn't know that when I was six? Oh you
thought that they saw was like I just got it.
That's just what was next in line. I suppose like
a hurricane. Yeah, I didn't know how it happened. He
just got like a list like a deli number counter
at the you know, at the old maternity ward and
each instead of a number, It's just a name and
(22:53):
you just lick it and stick it on the kid's forehead.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
God's maternity ward.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Yeah, what do you mean, why doesn't that have to
be guy, it's just hill Crest Hospital.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Well, God created you? Well, yes, but I mean I
was in hit. Well, I guess technically would be his eternity.
It all goes back to God.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
You brought us this story last week that I thought
was going to begin and end in a segment on
this show that we would never hear of Peanut the
Squirrel again.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I know you discount the important news.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Some of the stuff you find has just got it's
got legs.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
So apparently there were some authorities that raided a farm
in New York a guy by the name of Mark Longo.
Mark and Daniella Longo live there, and they have a
raccoon and a squirrel, and these two had been cashing
in on their rat and squirrel on social media. They've
been making a lot of money on Peanut the squirrel
(23:54):
and the raccoon, and so it made news. When the
authorities came in they confiscated these animals. That you're not
allowed to have a house broken, I guess you could say.
And then they promptly euthanized them, which led to the
ire of everybody who heard about this story. Why would
you confiscate an animal, a couple of animals from a
(24:14):
farm and then kill them?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And then it started getting even more.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Press Well, we start finding out more about who these
people are, right, it.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Was the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation that
got a search warrant showed up at the farm last
week and seized Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon
by saying, you know you're harboring two undomesticated animals. But
Mark says that when officials showed up, they asked questions
had nothing to do with the animals, Like one of
(24:47):
the first questions was do you have any cameras in
the house now.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
The thing that we didn't know.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
About Mark and his wife last week when we heard
about this great injustice is.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
That they are big on only fans.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
They have done porn on the flat platform, to the
tune of oh, I don't know, eight hundred thousand dollars
they made in one month with their porn. They also
babysit for some of their neighbor's children, not connected to
the Only No but troubling. Nonetheless, well, who Well, you're
(25:18):
making eight hundred thousand dollars a month doing porn and
somebody gives you the children to watch.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
It's either high quality or high quantity. At that point,
that seems like a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Well, you know much more than I do. Oh you
think I do? Huh.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
So they think that this was all about the money
they were making on the only fans.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
It has risen to the level of very important people
talking about it.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Sunder Dhn's about the Uther squirrel. This is Ohio Senator JB. Vance.
I don't know if you know this, but he's running
for vice president.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
About pups squirrel war.
Speaker 14 (26:01):
All the way down a yere from Cincinnati, he was like,
you know, is it really the case that the Democrats
murdered the Elon Musk with squirrels? And I said, yeah,
it sounds like have you seen the videos of this
squirrel is like he's a genius?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yes, yes, we have seen the videos of Pean at
the squirrel.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Mark and Danielle said that they went to a restaurant
and they're having dinner. The couple next to them looks
over and says, we're so sorry about what happened.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
We want you to know that you have our full support.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
There's even a local politician that wants to pass legislation.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
State Assemblyman Jake blumen Krantz. As a state lawmaker and
an animal rights advocate, this tragedy can be an agent
of change. He has put forward a measure that would
mandate a seventy two hour waiting period before an animal
from a sanctuary can be put to sleep. It creates
an appeal system, it gives animal refuge sites the right
to humane d process.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
And then the spokesman for former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who's
running for New York City mayor, trolled that governor's handling
of Peanut.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
When he wrote, when another state representative, when no one
is minding the store, and state agencies are allowed to
act with impunity, This is how stuff like this happens.
The situation would have come across someone's desk and Governor
Hocal's office, and someone with a brain should have stepped in.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
And then you.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Use the hashtag justice for Peanut. Now again, you mentioned
how much money this couple gets from their from their
online experiences. A go fundme page for Peanut has raised
more than one hundred and thirty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
They don't need it. I just looked it up. In
honor of Fred and Peanut. Go fundme pages now up
to one hundred and seventy six thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
They don't need it. They do not need the money.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yeah, they're having too much sex on camera to need
your dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Needs the money.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Maybe we could do some sort of Peanut memorial Peanut
and Fred memorial bench or something somewhere.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Bench.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Well, you know, you need to go to parks and
stuff and in memory of you know, Bonnie. Yeah, until
they make a video on that bench. Oh, well, that's
what they do.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app A Trump ad that appeared during
NBC's coverage of a NASCAR race last night is reportedly
connected to Vice President Harris's surprise SNL appearance.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's where we kick off Swamp watch.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
The government doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
We're gonna make us like a reality TV show, A
bad Noos. Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hey Joe, a town all too clearly built on a
swamp and in so many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I have a batch of malarkey.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Boy said, drained the swamp.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I said, Oh, that's so he'll keep happen.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
You know the thing, Well, Kamala Harris made a very
dedicated campaign stop to New York.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
She was, I guess, on her way to Michigan.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
They diverted the plane, the Air Force two, and they
went to Saturday Night Live where she sat across Maya Rudolph,
who does an incredible Kamala Harris, and they did a
little motivational speech with each other.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
Take my Pamela, the American people want to stop the
chaos and end the DRAMAA with a cool new step
Mamala backing our Pajamala's and watch a rum Kamala like
legally Blondola and start decorating for Christmas, follow Lala La.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It was hard to take tis to tell the tell
the difference. They were very good together. But the thing
is is you're talking to an SNL audience and that
she's got all those boats. It's like Trump going on
a NASCAR broadcast. He's got those boats.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
And speaking of there was a lot that was made
about whether or not this was legal for Saturday Night
Live to do this without offering Trump equal time?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
What did it?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Lorden Michael say a while back, the reason that neither
one it appeared is because of the equal time provision.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yeah, he said, He said. The equal time rules are
the reason why the show didn't have either Trump or
Harrison during this cycle. So Brendan Carr, one of the
FCC commissioners, rebuked the show, said that the sketch was
a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC's equal
(02:22):
time rule because it came just a couple of days
before election day, within the seven day window that the
FCC gives campaigns to request equal time, and that they
wouldn't really actually be able to do what would be
considered equal time because it's not also the Saturday Night
Live broadcast, So they allowed the Trump campaign to put
together an add and this is what it sounded like.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
Hello to our great sports fans, and I hope you
have it a fantastic time. We're two days away from
the most important election in the history of our country.
We've got to save our country, and indeed saving it's
in very bad shape. The worst economic numbers in generations.
We just announced two days ago. We're losing jobs, We're
(03:04):
losing everything, including viability. We'd end up in a depression
based on what's been happening. We've never seen anything like it,
at least for the last forty years. We have to straighten.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Out our country.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
We have to close our borders, we have to lower
our taxes, we have to get rid of inflation, and
we're going to do it. Just remember Kamala and her
friends broke it.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I'll fetch it most.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
Important election and the history of our country.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Go and vote that. I'll fix it.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Line I thought was effective in that I don't know
where it's been for the last several months. I've only
seen it over the last week or two. The whole
thing about I'll fix it considering she broke it. That
to me is a better message than a lot of
the grievances that he's been airing on the campaign trail.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
The San Diego Zoo will be collaborating with Calm the
Meditation app to live stream baby animals tomorrow. Most of
the day there was a Leads research project on that
showed that fifty percent your stress is reduced by fifty
percent when you watch animals, baby animals, pictures videos.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
What have you?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
We asked earlier what kind of videos would you watch
to kind of take your mind off of politics. A
lot of people came up with the ones that would
actually be tear jerkers, which I thought was kind of
an interesting way to deal with the calamity that is
our political system right now. That you'd rather cry ugly
tears in your kitchen with a glass of shabbleis of
(04:38):
watching these videos than you would actually dealing with politics.
Speaker 8 (04:41):
Hey, Gary and Shennon, this is Jim from What's with
Your Paint? I love the cat videos where they're like
sneaking and the camera faided away, and then the cat
is closer, and then it fades away again, and then
the cat's real close, and then it fades away, and
then the cats right there in the texts those are good.
You guys have a good one.
Speaker 9 (05:01):
Love y'all.
Speaker 10 (05:01):
Bye.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I've never seen that. Oh you haven't seen that one. No,
those are very fun cats pouncing on you. Is this
what you do when you leave here? You are a secret.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
I'm sorry I didn't realize that that's what we're going
to do.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Is judge, judge judging.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I was curious you didn't tell me the truth about
the adult male theater for months.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
There's more than just males in it, by the way,
In fact, there are I think there are more women
than men.
Speaker 11 (05:28):
Garian Shannon, This is Eric from San Diego. I think
it's it's it's the people welcoming their troops home gets
me every time.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You know, yesterday at the football game Chargers Browns there
in Cleveland, they had their Salute to Service game, so
they had service members of all branches of the military
visible and getting their flowers as they should. They also
had members of the military singing all them music for timeouts,
TV breaks or what have you.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So they had the.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Instruments and they're singing and it was incredible. It was
It was really cool to just watch football and be
thankful that we live in this country and that there's
many who can do that. Yeah, and that there's men
and women who put their lives on the line, and
that there's a whole stadium of people that will support
them and stand and club and it was just wonderful.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It was the best of us.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
I think that that's what is missing a lot of
times on the broadcast as opposed to in stadium events
like that where there's baseball football. Those salutes to service
are so much more impactful when you're there in person
because you get to see the whole ceremonies. Sometimes on
TV they'll be like, oh, and by the way, we
(06:44):
honored an Air Force airmen.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
By the way we talked to you.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You don't get the whole story about the airmen and
what he went through.
Speaker 11 (06:50):
And yes, I like the videos where YouTubers get brand
and people money or walk up to their front door
and ask them how much the rent is and pay their.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Rent for the Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
There's a very calming video a series of a guy
who mows lawns, and I know that that sounds really lame.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
No, No, I've heard about this.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
It's about a thirty or forty minute, depending on the
size of the job, and it's all sped up. It's
usually over the course of probably eight or ten hours.
This guy takes this completely overgrown lot. There's no you
could barely see the house or the sidewalk or anything,
and he just mows the lawn and cleans it up.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, and they it's really soothing to watch the yard.
I don't know why, but it is.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Videos that constantly have me tearing up are the Dodo
videos where they redecue a dog.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh and then they find it a loving home at
the end.
Speaker 12 (07:42):
Every single time, I'm crying, keep up the good work,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, those will get yet.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Oh.
Speaker 12 (07:50):
There's this musician. He does remixes and it's called DJ
Cumberbund and he has one called The Next Thickness and
it's mixed up of like a bunch of heavy metal ish,
you know, like stuff and Doctor Dre Snoop Dog so
(08:10):
I can crip walk while I metal head bang.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It's pretty awesome crip walk. While I'm metal head Bang,
I can totally picture her doing that. Well.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Tomorrow, Election Day, we already know that some seventy five
million people seventy six million people have voted early, whether
it's mail in or early in person votes that have
been cast nationally. Alex Caparello is joining us live from
News Nation with the latest on all of this. And boy,
let's talk first about those early voters that we've seen.
(08:42):
These are, at least in terms of ignoring twenty twenty,
these are unprecedented mail in and early voting numbers.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah, it's pretty amazing to see, isn't it. I mean,
this is democracy in action, and I think it's a
direct result of campaign messaging from both sides. What I
mean is that early voting has sort of been the
tried and true method of the Democratic Party. They've always
been really great at getting out there early, you know,
weeks ahead of time, days ahead of time, or even
(09:13):
mail in voting. But this was really the first time
we've seen the Republican Party and Republican voters really embraced
this method of letting their voice be heard. And you know,
I've been covering Trump's rallies all across these battleground states,
and I was always surprised, at least in the beginning
to look up and see huge banners that they vote early,
because that just really wasn't the messaging in the past. So, yes,
(09:35):
astounding turnout from both sides.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
We've seen.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
At least last week, we saw that the early voting
was said to be skewed towards Trump because when you
looked in Republican areas, there was a greater percentage in
swing states, a greater percentage of Republicans casting their ballots
early as opposed to what they did in twenty twenty.
(09:59):
Indicate hating that the turnout for Trump would be more
than it was the last time around. But what does
that pretend when it comes to election day? Maybe those
are people that are waiting till election day in some
of these areas.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, I mean, I think a great example would be Nevada.
Nevada which has historically swung more to the left and
to the right, but in this election cycle, it's having
a tremendous early voting turnout, particularly from Republicans. It's one
of those where actual early voting from Republicans actually outweighs
(10:34):
the Democrats. That being said, I think you bring up
a good point. The question will now be whether or
not this is sort of replacing the votes, the Republican
votes that would normally turn out on election day. Does
this so basically two lines of thought. Does this swing
a huge Republican advantage because now they're both getting out
early and they're going to show up big time on
(10:56):
election day? Or is this just replacing the election day
vote and it sort of you know, squares itself out
that way.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Question about polling, and I don't know if anybody's ever
really going to be able to figure this out. I've
been trying to keep an eye on polls with sort
of tongue in cheek, understanding that they're not necessarily giving
us the results of what the election will be, but
sort of public opinion the way it exists today or
the way when the questions are asked. We've had polls
(11:26):
wrong in twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, just in terms of
recent memory, and we go back to the same formulas.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Are we just.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Bad at polling or is the electorate changing quicker than
the polls can keep up with.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I think it's a little bit of both. I mean,
twenty sixteen was a prime example of how.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Polls got it wrong.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
But you know a lot of pollsters, when asked how
we got it so wrong, will say that they did
not take into a counter factor and the changing electorate makeup.
That being said, we still go back every single election
cycle to those polls, right, because it's a good way,
or at least the way that people are able to
interpret the political sphere around them. I'm not saying it's
(12:09):
a good way for us to know what's happening or
what's important, or who these candidates are, but it is
a way for us to sort of keep our finger
on the pulse as a nation on what's happening. It's
also just important for people to understand that they need
to take them with the grain of salt. It's not
tried and true, it's not definitively what's going to happen.
It's entirely possible that you know, these polls are wrong.
(12:32):
But also we need to keep in mind with an
election like this, everything is within a margin of error
when it's this tight. So just because it says, you know,
Donald Trump's up one point in a certain battleground state,
doesn't mean Kamala Harris can't swing at four points. When
the actual election day occurs, do you.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Think it will be just your opinion alone definitive result
tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Gosh, I sure hope.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
So.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I mean the joke that I constantly make is, you know,
it would be great if it was a land flide
for either way, because I'm really concerned about, you know,
the aftermath after election day, if it is close in
any way, I think we are going to see counts
and recounts and lawsuits and fighting, and if it's a landslide,
hopefully it sort.
Speaker 9 (13:16):
Of campers that down.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I wish I could look through a crystal ball and
tell you what I see. All I can tell you
right now is, you know, the polls show it as
a toss up. The polls show within the margin of
era it could go either way. And just to my
last point, you know, just because it says that everything
is very close doesn't mean it couldn't be a landslide.
We'll just have to kind of wait and see.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, not a lot of the youth know about the
national nightmare of our youth that was Florida in two
thousand with the hanging chads. And that drama lasting forever.
I'm going all the way to the Supreme Court. So
I'm with you on that, Alex.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Thank you appreciate it. Yeah, thank you very much for
having me Aks.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Alex Caparella from News Nation. He'll be one of those
guys on the big board. I wanted to point out
something just quickly about polls and how disparate they can be.
Politico came out with a they called it the Last
Day on the Polar Coaster, and it compared New York
Times polls to something called focal data. And the only
(14:24):
battleground state that they agreed on was the state of Nevada,
where they both said that Harris leads by three points. Otherwise,
Arizona they had different leaders. Georgia they had different leaders,
Michigan they had different leaders. Nevada was the only one,
like I said, that was the same. North Carolina they
had different leaders. So, and I mean, those are respectable polls,
(14:45):
and they're completely different results. So they're not exactly the
same questions obviously, and the way that they do it
and who they call is different.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
But it's it's gonna be a it's gonna be a
lot of fun. I'd just watch good old squirrel cooking videos.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Squirrel cooking videos now stand by, I think he means
to cook a squirrel cooking.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Of course, what do you think the squirrels are cooking?
I've seen some of those. I've seen little squirrel, catch,
clean and cook.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Kevin shows the process of breaking down a squirrel and
preparing it in an easy to make, delicious to eat meal.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
Yeah. Hey, Garon Shannon, this is Angie from Ontario. As
far as what I watched, win some calmness. Most recently
it's been highlight for the World Series, whether it's Friday's
Grass Slam, all the Yankee Airs or the last anyone
shut them down? So go Dodgers, Gary.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Sorry, I'll take it this.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Did you see that they've hired Aaron Judge to drop
the ball at Times Square on New Year's Eve?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I made that joke about four days ago. You did not. Yeah,
I have actually have the receipts.
Speaker 13 (16:01):
I know this is gonna sound really gross, but videos
of people's like fungus overgrown toetials getting cut and cleaned
and then looking like semi normal or even callous removals,
those sort of things, that's a good pastime.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Sent Friday afternoon, whereas it was dropping the ball in the.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
But you didn't send it to me, No I did not.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Well, then I don't get blamed for stealing.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
It from you.
Speaker 10 (16:42):
Hey, Gary, Tito here well things that gave me every
time it's here up now, I'm about to turn fifty
and I'm a grandpa. Every time on my phone it
shows a little video comes out of my memories of
the last year, the last cup years, the date I
(17:03):
showed all those great pictures and memories.
Speaker 11 (17:05):
Yeah, I always here.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
So there's something about our phones that knows when someone dies. Oh,
in general, they it's they know something. When my daughter
broke up, I know a girl, sorry, she's I know
a young woman. She's in grad.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
School and she broke up with a boyfriend.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Within about a week or two of that happening, she
started being inundated with dating app ads.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
That being said, the phones also know when someone dies
because on iPhone specifically, you have the little panel up
on the front that they are on your main page
where the little pictures come up, right, constant pictures of
my mom, my dad, my dog, and my brother in law. Wow, constantly.
(17:55):
And I don't know if it's because and I didn't
have an inordinate number of pictures of those four people figures,
three people and a dog in my life, but that
that's what the phone chooses to show me.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
One of the reasons I stopped looking at Facebook, by
and large is because of the memories that it pops up.
It's awful, and not just the memories of people who
are now dead, but also the things that I wrote
fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
What the hell sad to remember who you were?
Speaker 9 (18:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I hate that person. I have nothing in common with
that person.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Dustin Cures Jem is a guy who ended up dead
in his tent in a camping trip in southwest Montana
a few weeks ago. This guy, Dustin, was alone at
the campsite for the night and saw some guy walking
up and offers that guy a beer. That guy turns
(18:50):
out to be forty one year old Darren Abbey, and
it was that friendly gesture of hey, you want a
beer that led law enforcement to the guy that they say,
kill Dustin. They said that Darren Abbey tried to avoid
being caught by removing items that he had touched from
the camp site, but it seems that he forgot the
(19:13):
act of kindness. They did announce he has confessed to
killing Dustin Chursom after being apprehended days earlier thanks to
DNA that was left on a beer camp upon finding
her boyfriend's body. Now that's got another twist in the story,
because they didn't we didn't know that it was the
girlfriend that found the body.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
We heard it was a friend.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Upon finding her boyfriend's body on the morning of October twelfth,
she called nine to one one saying that Kirstia may
have been killed by a bear based on how savage
the crime scene was.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
They say that these two men did not know each
other and that it may have been like a chance encounter,
a heat of the moment thing. Because they had both
planned a camp in the same spot.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Right across the border from Yellowstone.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Doesn't sound like campers are usually a peaceful people.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Dustin was going to spend the first night alone before
he was going to pick up his girlfriend the next day,
and then they were both going to camp together in
the wilderness, and the girlfriend was worried when he didn't
show the morning of October twelfth, so she drove out
to the campsite and that's where she found him dead.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
And remember we told you when that happened.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
They were still investigating this as a bear or possible
bear attack, and they had experts from the Department of
Montana's Department of Fishing, Wildlife, or whatever the version would
be there. They came out and said, no, we don't
see any sign of a bear attack, but.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
It was this guy who hit the other with a
piece of wood before stabbing him in the neck with
a screwdriver and taking an axe to the body.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Wow, what a way to go.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
If I want to get away from election stuff tomorrow,
I'm just going to replay the fifth inning of Game
five and watch the Yankees fall apart.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
That was epic.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
That was right.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Channon John from Iowa Funny Videos. I love to watch
pet videos and kids being funny. You got to check
out the video of the little girl who wants to
be a pickle for Halloween. It's hilarious. Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
You haven't seen that one?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
I have not.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
It sounds like this, Rory, what do you want to
dress up as for Halloween?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
A pickle? They keep asking her in these different scenes.
She's a restaurant, she's at home a pickle.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah, pickles are great, and she i like it.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
She's like she's she's sticking to it. She just wasn't.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Just like you know, the one time you told your
parents you wanted to be called Phonsie, she really stuck
to her guns.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Okay, let me say something really quickly. It was more
than one time. It's just that they ignored me multiple times.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
How old were you when he wanted to be called
fond six? Okay, and you told them? How many times
would you say?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Was it a day?
Speaker 12 (22:10):
A week?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
How long? When I'm six?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
A week is a long time, So probably three or
four days there where I was like mother, father, I
would prefer to be called Arthur Fonzarelli.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
How did you think you could tell them that you
wanted to change your name?
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Like?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
How did who did you think you were to tell?
Your point? Where do your names come from? Your parents?
Speaker 5 (22:33):
I didn't know that when I was six? Oh you
thought that they saw was like I just got it.
That's just what was next in line. I suppose like
a hurricane. Yeah, I didn't know how it happened. He
just got like a list like a deli number counter
at the you know, at the old maternity ward and
each instead of a number, It's just a name and
(22:53):
you just lick it and stick it on the kid's forehead.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
God's maternity ward.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Yeah, what do you mean, why doesn't that have to
be guy, it's just hill Crest Hospital.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Well, God created you? Well, yes, but I mean I
was in hit. Well, I guess technically would be his eternity.
It all goes back to God.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
You brought us this story last week that I thought
was going to begin and end in a segment on
this show that we would never hear of Peanut the
Squirrel again.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I know you discount the important news.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Some of the stuff you find has just got it's
got legs.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
So apparently there were some authorities that raided a farm
in New York a guy by the name of Mark Longo.
Mark and Daniella Longo live there, and they have a
raccoon and a squirrel, and these two had been cashing
in on their rat and squirrel on social media. They've
been making a lot of money on Peanut the squirrel
(23:54):
and the raccoon, and so it made news. When the
authorities came in they confiscated these animals. That you're not
allowed to have a house broken, I guess you could say.
And then they promptly euthanized them, which led to the
ire of everybody who heard about this story. Why would
you confiscate an animal, a couple of animals from a
(24:14):
farm and then kill them?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And then it started getting even more.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Press Well, we start finding out more about who these
people are, right, it.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Was the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation that
got a search warrant showed up at the farm last
week and seized Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon
by saying, you know you're harboring two undomesticated animals. But
Mark says that when officials showed up, they asked questions
had nothing to do with the animals, Like one of
(24:47):
the first questions was do you have any cameras in
the house now.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
The thing that we didn't know.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
About Mark and his wife last week when we heard
about this great injustice is.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
That they are big on only fans.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
They have done porn on the flat platform, to the
tune of oh, I don't know, eight hundred thousand dollars
they made in one month with their porn. They also
babysit for some of their neighbor's children, not connected to
the Only No but troubling. Nonetheless, well, who Well, you're
(25:18):
making eight hundred thousand dollars a month doing porn and
somebody gives you the children to watch.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
It's either high quality or high quantity. At that point,
that seems like a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Well, you know much more than I do. Oh you
think I do? Huh.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
So they think that this was all about the money
they were making on the only fans.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
It has risen to the level of very important people
talking about it.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Sunder Dhn's about the Uther squirrel. This is Ohio Senator JB. Vance.
I don't know if you know this, but he's running
for vice president.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
About pups squirrel war.
Speaker 14 (26:01):
All the way down a yere from Cincinnati, he was like,
you know, is it really the case that the Democrats
murdered the Elon Musk with squirrels? And I said, yeah,
it sounds like have you seen the videos of this
squirrel is like he's a genius?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yes, yes, we have seen the videos of Pean at
the squirrel.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Mark and Danielle said that they went to a restaurant
and they're having dinner. The couple next to them looks
over and says, we're so sorry about what happened.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
We want you to know that you have our full support.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
There's even a local politician that wants to pass legislation.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
State Assemblyman Jake blumen Krantz. As a state lawmaker and
an animal rights advocate, this tragedy can be an agent
of change. He has put forward a measure that would
mandate a seventy two hour waiting period before an animal
from a sanctuary can be put to sleep. It creates
an appeal system, it gives animal refuge sites the right
to humane d process.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
And then the spokesman for former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who's
running for New York City mayor, trolled that governor's handling
of Peanut.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
When he wrote, when another state representative, when no one
is minding the store, and state agencies are allowed to
act with impunity, This is how stuff like this happens.
The situation would have come across someone's desk and Governor
Hocal's office, and someone with a brain should have stepped in.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
And then you.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Use the hashtag justice for Peanut. Now again, you mentioned
how much money this couple gets from their from their
online experiences. A go fundme page for Peanut has raised
more than one hundred and thirty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
They don't need it. I just looked it up. In
honor of Fred and Peanut. Go fundme pages now up
to one hundred and seventy six thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
They don't need it. They do not need the money.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yeah, they're having too much sex on camera to need
your dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Needs the money.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Maybe we could do some sort of Peanut memorial Peanut
and Fred memorial bench or something somewhere.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Bench.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Well, you know, you need to go to parks and
stuff and in memory of you know, Bonnie. Yeah, until
they make a video on that bench. Oh, well, that's
what they do.
