This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Elections officials have reported some issues, tiny issues considering we're
expecting what one hundred and sixty one hundred and eighty
million people voting in the next to vote today, election
officials have reported several ballot scanners went down in a
couple of counties in Pennsylvania. Court in fact ruled today

(00:27):
that the voting time for Cambria County specifically can be
extended until ten o'clock tonight.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Weather could be an issue.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Storm system moving across the Midwest from Texas up to
Canada is going to affect battleground states Michigan and Wisconsin.
The cold front is bringing in some bad weather, most
likely just rain. They know how to deal with it there.
But in northern California, PGENE has warned of some public
safety power shutoffs because of fire weather. They've delivered generators

(00:58):
to some polling place that might see their power cut off.
The utility says there are no tabulation centers that are
within those potential shutoff areas, so that should not be
a problem. Also quick note red flag warnings are going
to go back up for US in southern California starting
tomorrow and lasting through Thursday night.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Number of businesses celebrating Election Day with special deals. Krispy
Kreme giving away free donuts, Lift and Uber offering discounted
rides to polling stations. Uber's also offering a twenty five
percent discount on Uber Eats. That's pretty big, yeah, Dave
and Buster is offering half priced games. Ikea is going

(01:39):
to be giving out free frozen yogurt.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
As a note, our friends over at Luchdoor Brewing are
also doing a happy hour all day, they wrote on Instagram,
because let's be real, we could all use a beer today.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
That's funny. They open at eleven thirty today.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
We'll be out at Luchitore Brewing in Chino Hills on
Friday for, among other reasons, just to get rid of
this week and was left of it, but also as
a way to help them kick off their Hops in
the Hills event, which is coming up on Saturday, and
in fact, we are going to be giving away some
v IP tickets to the Hops in the Hills event.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
The event itself is Saturday.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
We will be at Luchador Brewing in Chino Hills on Friday.
A portion of the ticket sales for Hops and the
Hills will be donated to the Chino Valley Fire Foundation.
So that's all going to be fun going to Friday.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
You know things are boud for your NFL team if
the Pope is publicly blessing you. The Saints season has
been a complete disaster there in New Orleans. It's been
just a complete unmitigated disaster, the firing of their head coach.
Just this week, Kaderic Cars throwing hospital balls out there

(02:50):
to his wide receivers. It's a mess, hospital balls. I've
never heard that before. Oh yeah, I know exactly what.
You're right in the hospital man. But Ances took to
X and wanted to talk about Saints and accidentally use
the New Orleans Saints hashtag. The Saints are precious pearls

(03:12):
and are always living and relevant because they provide a fascinating,
combinary commentary on the Gospel. Their lives are an illustration
of the good news that Jesus brought to humanity. God
is our Father who loves everyone with boundless love.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, but when you use the hashtag Saints on Twitter,
it automatically adds the team's logo the little slur to Lee, Right,
it's pretty funny.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Hey, good more angry and Jannon, this is for you, Shan.
Bam bam bamp dam damp damp damp damp. Can you
give it to me? Getting down with the sickness bamp
stamp bam, bam bamp, bam damp bamp. So he walk
into the feet, but I can't also go get job

(03:57):
with the sickness. Happy voting days, love you, thank you bye.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
That was disturbed. Disturbing, Hey, Gary, Shan, thank you here,
So happy election day.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
I already got a text from my brother saying don't
vote for these communists, and remember they're a party of
the slaves. And I got a text from my gay
cousin and he tells me you love me?

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Right?

Speaker 4 (04:28):
I told him yes, He goes, if you love me,
don't vote for Trump?

Speaker 5 (04:35):
What to do?

Speaker 1 (04:36):
What to do? Don't talk about it, Do what you're
gonna do. Don't talk about it. That's funny. I asked
my husband last night, so do you know how I'm
gonna vote? And he was like, no, does it ever
come up? Do you guys ever talk about I he
likes to talk about politics. I do not. I do

(04:58):
not like to talk about politics at all, well certainly
not outside here where we kind of have to talk
about it. And so years ago I was like, I don't.
I don't want to do this, you know, getting into
political discussion. I don't want to do it. He comes
from a family where they talked about politics a lot,
like it was, you know, watched that was the only
television they would watch was the news, and it was
They're very politically minded people. And I am not. I

(05:23):
do not. I would rather talk about football or even
soccer really anything watch. So years ago, I see, I
know that was too far, that was a bridge too far.
Years ago I said I don't want to talk about politics,
you know, and so we don't really ever, very rare.
I mean, something will come up, but there's no commentary
that goes along with it.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
I would never reach out to family members and tell
them or ask them how they're voting.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
No, it doesn't matter to me. It does not matter
to me. And you know it was I had a
friend lose their mother this week. You know, it's like
that's what matters in your life perspective. A lot of perspective,
and that's what I think we lose.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Unfortunately, when we do get carried away with stuff about
when it comes to elections or politicians or whatever is,
we all lose a little bit of perspective because, like
you said, I mean, there are people who are going
to lose their parents today, right, and while everybody's head's
on fire about me or.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Someone's going to have a baby. Today's gonna have a
baby today. Like that's what counts, yeah, not the vomiting
the diary.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
I mean, come on, if you're not stoling yourself once
a week, you know at least have a construction worker.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
You know them didn't, right, and you're not eating enough
of those gas station hot dogs? Oh, I mean kind
of typical.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Love.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
I've worked with plenty of guys we had to leave
early because it was just it was literally more than
just sling themselves. They had a shower.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Oh my goodness, I'm right in the middle of eating
my bowl of oatmeal and you talk about uh in their.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
No.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
I want you say so confidently that good poisoning should
effect the whole house at the same time. Clearly, and
we all know this. You never had children, Can you
imagine having to take care of your little kids. Good point. No, thanks,
good point. I've heard some nightmares. I don't think that
ever really happened, my goodness, but that would be a

(07:27):
nightmare scenario where you just have to like roll in
the little bit kid potty next to your potty and yeah,
oh god, oh boy, of myself. We have brought out
our lama. What's our lama's name again? Is it a name?

Speaker 5 (07:47):
Ah?

Speaker 1 (07:48):
What does he have a name? Yeah? Jacob just reminded me.
You don't remember it? No, I didn't either. Boomshot the lama.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Oh well, yeah, I thought it was more a proper name,
like Jeff or something.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
I didn't Yeah, why didn't we name him something like Frank?
I don't know. He's been he's been hidden away. He's
been missing for a couple of years. Yeah, and his
mouth is all dirty. I don't know what's going on
with this. Is that a football? Yeah? That was a
gift from somebody and I love it. It is a

(08:25):
football pendant necklace, but the lama likes to wear it.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
I don't know if he would count as a therapy lama,
because I mean, as calming as he is, he could
be more calming I.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Suppose how did his mouth get so dirty, Jacob, How
did his mouth get so dirty? I have no idea.
I have not seen him in like a year. What
has somebody been doing to this?

Speaker 2 (08:44):
I don't leave the office open, it said, because there's
a post that note that says do not lock this door.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
You guys are poor parents leaving the office open. And
you forgot his name. Yeah, well I forgot about him.
He's not.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Benny the Lama and Captain Jack, his alpaca friend, sauntered
through the Portland International Airport and calm the nerves of
otherwise panicky travelers.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
People who were moments earlier hustling to their gates stood still.
Time seemed to stop. Those who were occupied with their
phones looked up and stared. Some took videos. A crowd forms.
Within minutes. A dozen people are lined up to have
their picture taken with Benny the Lama and Captain Jack
the Alpaca.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Laurie Sackett was one of the people on her way
from Portland to San Antonio with her husband to see
their daughter, and said what.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
A gift it was. She was moved to tears well
by the lama and the alpaca. Laurie is especially nostalgic
because she worked with them in the four h youth
group when her daughter was young, the same daughter she's
on our way to visit. She said, she's just gonna
go wild when she sees the picture. I mean, it's
a magical thing. It is kind of a cool thing.

(10:03):
You're going to see your doctor, your daughter. You're at
the airport and a lama turns up.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
A part of the Portland Airport Animal Therapy program has
these animals visiting every couple of weeks from the farm
they live on called Mountain Peaks Therapy. When they're not
at the airport, they do other events, corporate events, wedding.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
I went to a wedding in Portland where there were
lamas there for the wedding. Was it this one? Was
it Benny? It may have been. I could have a
picture with Benny right now. I know. I've got pictures
of me and Alamas somewhere.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
They said it's part of the airport's plan to acknowledge
that travel can be anxiety producing. I've flown through Portland.
That's not an anxiety producing airport. Oh, I think it's awful.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
I don't like that airport at all, probably because the
only time I've flown out of there, we were late
getting there and had to run through the whole thing,
and it took forever to get to the gate. It
was a mess. That'll taint your memory, but it will
taint it because I've never been late for They said
my husband wanted to take the train.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh, I wonder he'sn't talk to you about politics. Being
in nature as a stress reliever, says Alison Frey, our
spokesperson for the Port of Portland. The therapy animals that
come in just one way we can deliver on that
for the traveler experience that I thought.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
You were supposed to bring in the puppy today. What
I don't have control of him right now. I don't
know if you know that. I don't know that. What
do you mean you couldn't bring the dog in today.
I'm not going to bring him to work for the
whole time. Why he's a dog, right, he doesn't like
office politics. What does he do at home? He just

(11:44):
lies there? Right? Watch your mouth? Well, I mean he
provides us with a service of anxiety reduction. We could
have Jacob take him on his potty breaks and everything.
You said that we would have puppies here today. I
didn't say for you.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
I didn't say that I offered, and I don't know
if I ever follow through with the plans to actually
get him here.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Gary and Shannon will take you.

Speaker 6 (12:10):
Good morning, Gary and Shannon. I just want to make
sure I heard that Gary was pouncing around in his
white speedo on stage in the adult theater. And I
just want to make sure it's okay for the youngsters
to be there to watch her perform, and it's not
going to be too rescue, if you know what I mean.

(12:32):
I love your hair, Shannon, if you're looking good, keep
up the good where honey.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Can he see you right now? That's really odd because
this morning I was very angry with my hair. All
women know this. I just hate my hair. I think
I would say eight out of ten women struggle with
their hair. Amy King is oh, she left. She's never
had a struggle. She has beautiful hair. But I think

(13:00):
most of us agree that sometime around twelve or thirteen,
you start hating your hair, and then you go through
different iterations of hating particular things about your hair. And
I was thinking about that that this morning extensively. How
much I loathed my hair, so that was a nice compliment.
The fact that he brought up my hair like that
in a compliment is does it make you mad?

Speaker 5 (13:23):
Er?

Speaker 1 (13:23):
No, it's a little eerie, but very well appreciated. I
appreciate that. As a note, there is no white speedo
in this show. It's at its shirt the entire time. Yes, exactly,
wear a tuxedo for the second half. Lots of clothes,
layers and layers of clothes going to be hot. What
do you wear in the first in the first book

(13:46):
a different suit?

Speaker 5 (13:47):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Okay, yeah, in the Old Testament.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, Hi, guys, I would like to see Gary's play
this weekend.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
But I live pretty far away. Can you have a
KFI helicopter? Come take me up there? I really appreciate it. Ah,
let me know a good time.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
But the helicopter. Have we ever ever had a helicopter
with this radio station.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Not that I know of. No, But we do have planes?
Do we have Kfi in the sky? Yeah? But those
are airplanes? Oh? Why did I think that was a helicop?
Why do we make a helicopter sound effect? Then when
we play that, because we're stupid lead people down the
wrong path. That's all Trump is voted in Florida and
Palm Beach. He said he'd run his last campaign even

(14:31):
if he lost, but predicted a very big victory. He said,
if I win, I know what I'm going to say,
and I don't want to even think about the losing part.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
CNN says eighty three million people voted early, eighty three
million mail in and early in person votes cast nationally.
Pole's close here in California about eight o'clock tonight. We
will start to see some results come from. Some states
actually closed at four this afternoon our time. Some states closed,

(15:04):
most of them, I should say, between five o'clock or
six o'clock, and then the.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
West Coast closes at eight o'clock.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
We will have special programming throughout the night, of course,
keeping an eye on some of some of the results
as they roll in.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Gary Shannon, I hear you're going to be doing a
segment on the animals. Well, you know what, Peanut was euthanized.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
He wasn't killed.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
There's a very big difference between euthanasia and just playing killing.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Is it the music that's being played at the time,
There's not a lot the vet kills the squirrel.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yes, I saw five miniature horses and a trailer on
the six to SO five when I was headed to
a recent Chargers game. Five miniature horses. How cool is that?
Just like a five leaf clover? It was. It was insane.
I love a miniature horse. Well, there's a twelve year
old miniature horse named Butter who is recovering today after

(16:02):
falling into a deep well east of Lake Elsinore. Just
like Baby Jessica, but a miniature horse, but also three
hundred and fifty pounds. The little horse is back with
her owner following the dramatic rescue that began Friday afternoon.
This was just east of Lake Elsinore, north of Canyon
Lake if you know the area. Yes, it started when

(16:23):
the three hundred and fifty pound animal plunged into a
plywood covered well and fell about fifteen feet though the
well was actually sixty feet deep, so the.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
So Butter actually got stuck. It sounds like at the
fifteen foot level. CalFire, Riverside County Fire, Riverside County Department
Animal Services, everybody showed up along with the I didn't
realize Riverside Fire had this, but the department's heavy animal
rescue team. They joined forces to save Butter, and they

(16:56):
thought originally the Butter was going to be pretty badly hurt.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
But they said.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
The rescue involved a tranquilizer and a sling. They were
able to hoist Butter up to safety at about ten
o'clock that night.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Butter did escape serious injury. Butter's wounds were treated and
pain medication was administered. But Butter, as you can imagine,
was still traumatized. Poor little Butter, she was visibly shaking
while she was still strapped in that sling. They thought
that hypothermia was going to be an issue, so Butter
was wrapped up with a heavy blanket. Norco also has

(17:32):
an animal rescue team. There's a lot of horses.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
There, I guess, but I wouldn't have imagined that they
put together a full team to do that.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
But well, I mean, you're probably not just the heavy
animal rescue team. You'll probably have a variety of other
things you do.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Right job, yes, and then when the heavy animals need
to be rescued, you put on that hat, you put
on that cape and become a superhero for that animal.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
But that's nice.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
The voter's day, Gary and Shannon, I think you guys
are doing a great job as a conservative. I just
want everyone to relax. If Trump loses as a conservative,
it is what it is. If Kamala wins as a Conservative,
it is what it is. We do the best we
can do with what the people elect.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
That's all you can do, you know.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
It's continue with your lives, live it to the best
your abilities, and enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Thank you. Know what. I had a fun time thinking
about today, all of the Democrats who want Kamala to lose,
and all the Republicans who want Trump to lose, because like,
Trump has changed the Republican Party completely. If he loses,
the witch head rises, like who is the head of
the Republican Party? Does he remain a king maker or

(18:52):
does he go away and there's a new head of
the Republican Party. And then on the Kamala side, it's like,
you know, the Gavin news of the world are hoping
that she loses because they can't run against her in
four years. Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, all of those people,
the upper echelon layer of detritus are all hoping their

(19:12):
own party loses because of their own ego and ambition. Yeah,
the one bees, Yeah, they are not one a. They're
the one bees right that are just below that surface.
That's interesting.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
Hey, Gary and Chennon, if Trump or Harris wins, are
you guys still going to do swamp Watch?

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Of course, we just changed the We'll just change the
sounder probably.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
But yeah, but betweak it. But don't don't make people panic.
You say we're going to change the swamp Watch sounder
and people will freaking riot. Listen, remember the New Nuggets. Hey, Hey,
take it easy. Sometimes change is good. I know that.
I'm fine with you moving my choice. You're yelling. But
when the New Nuggets were debuted, the horror that was

(19:55):
unleashed to us in the form of death threats and
the like was it was.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
So bad we had to go back to the old
Nuggets non credible bomb threats, but we got the message
several The information about the show is up on our
social media, by the way, you can go check it out.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Hey, Gary, I agree with Shannon and you should bring
in your puppy to work once in a while.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
My boss brings in his two pipples every single day
and the office is very.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Much enjoyable with them. As a matter of fact, right now,
my boss is in London with a wife, and I
have the honor of picking them up from his house
in the morning and dropping them off after work. Nice,
so they spend an entire day with me. I mean,
it would be so nice to have a dog in
my lap right now. I don't know how calming you

(20:39):
think he is. He's a puppy, I know, but when
he was here last time, the only time, it was
very wonderful. I enjoyed myself. It was very wonderful, very wonderful.
I'll think about bringing in the anxiety reducing puppy that
will chew on you. I like to be chewed on
by a puppy. His little teeth.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
They're actually not as bad as he used to be.
They were razor sharp earlier. File goes down and he's
lost all.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
The poor dog not at the same time, that would
be cruel. A two headed turtle in New Jersey is
being called a miracle turtle, beating the odds surviving past
infancy despite the deformity. The owner, Joseph Marina, said, I'm
gonna do whatever it takes to keep these guys happy
and alive. I guess that would be weird. Is that true?

(21:31):
It's two two turtles. It's just two heads, same body.
It's like those those girls, Abby and Brittany. Brittany, Yeah,
like one of them got married, Reba and George. George.
He's okay.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
So.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Joseph said that his friend hatched the dual domed anomaly,
but had no idea how to care for it.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
So he said, hey, just give him to me. I'll
do it.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
The raising the unique creature was difficult given the low
birth and survival rates of animals that have multiple heads.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Polycephaly is what it's called, generally caused by malformation of
a developing embryo due to either genetic or environmental factors.
Although most commonly observed in turtles and snakes, such as
the two headed snake tiger lily, the affliction has been

(22:27):
document documented in every critter, from fish to pigs. One
of the most remarkable examples was a bifacial billy goat.
Oh I don't like those became a worldwide sensation due
to its resemblance to the Greek god genus. I don't
like it. I want to google that and a billy goat.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Joseph said, two for one turtle was double the trouble.
Two mouths that refused to eat. He said, I continue
to offer them food, but they showed no interest, and
I started to get really worried. Finally, the larger of
the two heads began to eat, seemingly inspiring the smaller
one to follow suit. He's been raising the turtle and
throwing it up on social media. On YouTube, said that
the saga was far from over because there were some

(23:13):
coordination problems. He said he woke up one morning to
find they had flipped on that they had flipped on
its back okay, and was unresponsive in the water. He said,
I was almost certain that they had passed it's old on.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
It ends well who.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
He frantically performed gentle chest compressions and mouth to mouth
to mouth on the on the turtle, on the turtle,
he said. He breathed a sigh of relief when they
cut recovered almost two hours later, two hours. He said
the locomotion problem stems in part from the strict diet.

(23:54):
They would only eat one specific worm species.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Would you do mouth to mouth on a turtle? Turtles
are vile, dirty creatures. No you wouldn't. No, I would not.
You had a little two headed turtle and they were
struggling to grasp any gasping breath.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
No, no, I would not. The turtles giving nastiness. Yeah,
it burrows deep into your soul and eat. You would
just let the turtles die, would it would?

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Jacob? Would you give mouth to mouth to a two
headed turtle if it was our turtle? Yeah? Yeah, that's
the right answer, Jacob right now. But you didn't say that.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
You just made it sound like I walk across a
two headed turtle down on the streets in Burbank and
then I have to somehow give it mouth to mouth.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
That's ridiculous, exactly, That's what I said. You've been listening
to the Gary and Shannon Show.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
