Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
That's all. Do they like it? Well, that's one way
to put it. I mean, we've clearly determined that it's
not about a horse.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
There's not a horse in the entire song.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
There was no horse. I don't think that he references
a horse in any of his songs as a matter
of fact. But well, do you want to hear some
of them or you want to wait for a while. Sure,
let me just do this first.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
According to Torrance Pde, they are evacuating the courthouse there.
The reports from the scene include the building as being
evacuated possibly due to a bomb threat or a suspicious package.
So a lot of police presence there in Torrents around
the courthouse there at Maple and Maracopa fire crews responding
to a fire burning along Palisades Drive in Pacific Palisades
(00:59):
as well.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, that's right next to that reservoir that's there kind
of the intersection of Santa Ynez and Palisades. So that's
if you're in that area, you're going to see smoke
in a helicopter something.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
They're going to jump on this thing and have it
under control very quickly.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And it doesn't. I mean, the wind is not anything
like we saw last week, so this should be taken
care of relatively quickly. It's not a horse he's bouncing
off my booty cheeks. Refers to a cowboy riding a horse. No, no, sir,
I mean it refers to a cowboy. Refers to a
couple of cowboys, but not no horse.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You guys, we need to hear the next line.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
No, hey, nope, what comes after levin the way he rides?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
No, we're hanging on and through that here.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Help us out. No google it, you guys, Yeah, don't
or not or not? Just be safe there.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
And I say, that song just made my day and
it just made me smile.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
That tune is awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It just is very bouncy.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Haha.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
See what I did there?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I do See what you did there?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I'm telling you. When I put this odd in the car,
it just completely unpronounced to me what was happening or
what was to come. I thought that is so awful,
and then I thought this is going to provide so
much joy to people.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I thought broke back Mound was just a nice Western.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Morning, Gary and Shannon, great show as usual. This is
mad Cow from Nevada. Hey, man, say the name of
that artist with the booty cheeks again so I can
send it to my gay buddies.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
All right, by I did think of my gay buddies
and sending it.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
His name is Dixon, Dallas. Is that right?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I think you're mixing that up. That can't be his name. Oh,
that can't be his name. You know what it told
me about it? Say it's slower.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Fun.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I literally thought that country song was about a horse
when you guys first played it.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Obviously I've never heard it before, but holy mother of Pearl,
I just read the lyrics and note it is.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Not a statement, because I totally feel you. Man, I
thought it was about a horse too.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Don't read it.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Not not a horse, not a quick cleansing moment, if
you don't mind. I listened to the dare you bring Jesus?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You can need a buffer got between Dixon and Jesus.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I'm the only ghost tattling.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Then we're moving on him to them, I saying.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'm okay, that's better, all right. Earlier this summer, you
remember that story about a kid who a kid with
autism who was playing with a hood ornament on a
Mercedes and and may have damaged the hood ornament a
(03:54):
ten year old old boy, Alfredo Morales. And there's a
video of the owner of the car walking over and
slapping the kid. Wow, and I mean people lost their
minds when the video went around. Quickly he was identified,
he was charged. The family of Alfredo Morales, the kid
(04:18):
who was in that video, has been given a brand
new car.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
But it's not a Mercedes, it is not, but the.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
People at Airport Marina Ford decided to give them a
brand new car because they went in. They have a
Ford F one to fifty pick up with a camper
on it and apparently at least at times had been
living in the truck and they brought it in it
needed repairs. Dan Thurrow as the general manager at Airport
(04:48):
Marina A Ford and talked to Channel seven about him.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
There's a child involved in a situation like that and
the condition of living in the other vehicle and trying
to survive out of that, and then that vehicle being
as bad as it was it was. Really it's just
the right thing to do.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That's just awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Jamie Bushten Bishten sorry is the Auto Group president, and
talked about it.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Dan got the Ford to come into the dealership.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
We saw it on the flatbed and we were like,
uh oh, this needs more than just a repair.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, they were talking about this thing needed a full
drive train.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
A new transmission engine. The interior would I've had to
be completely taken out.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So they gave them a brand new, almost brand new
Ford Explorer twenty twenty three, and it comes with a
Gold Certified warranty, according to Dan Thurrow, the GM, which
means that if that Ford Explorer has any issue at all,
they can go to any Ford dealer anywhere and get
(05:53):
that thing fixed. The family has also raised nearly one
hundred thousand dollars on a co fundly page since this incident.
And I mean it was one of the most egregious awful.
The guy thought that the kid did something malicious, and
even though his sister was with him and trying to
(06:13):
protect her ten year old brother, the guy walked up
and slapped the ten year old.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
He has been charged with willful cruelty to a child
and battery on a person. PS.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, so that's good, and I think the bigger thing
is that his name was out there, which means that
people could publicly shame him for being such a complete, a.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Right add.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Versarial person.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Were you gonna have swear?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yes, what is wrong with me?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I don't know. Something's going on because that's the second
time as well. You did swear in the first hour
and you were almost said the bad word. Well it's you.
You're fighting for the people.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I listened to the tumble of I think those make
you mad?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Dixon Dallas, Well, you're the one.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Made me look at it.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I did not. I simply said, play the beginning of
this song. You're the one who did the deep dive.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It won't happen again.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
What are you pointing to? Oh you don't like that
dress either, that's an awful look. It's because of this part.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
This part. Stop doing that.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You know what I'm doing and you know that that
is not something you want to put sausage casing on.
Well in a sweatshirt.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
The happiness has gone away. Now we got to dig
into some bad crime stories and we come back.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
All right, are we gonna? Are we gonna keep the
new Booty song? Though? Can we keep it? Can we
put it on our special board?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Over the put on the board. Yeah, I'm not certain.
I want to What if I just put that little piece.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
The bouncing on the booty?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
No, we don't need the whole site. I couldn't play
the whole song. I know, I just that clip.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
N I'll think about it.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Senator John Thune won an internal election among Republican senators
become the next majority leader in the Senate. Makes the
South Dakota Republican a key partner to President elect Trump.
Thoon beat out two other competitors, John Cornyn out of Texas,
Rick Scott out of Florida. You got majority support from
Republican senators in a secret ballot vote. So he is
(08:39):
going to be replacing Senator Mitch McConnell, who is the
longest serving Senate party leader. Of course, Republicans are going
to take majority control of the Senate with the fifty
three seats that they won in last week's election. That
will be of course, the first week of January.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
People's sexiest Man Alive has been announced. Do you know
who it is?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I got the call and they told me it was
not me.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Ah, what place did you come in?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
They didn't say, right, They said that I was not
in the top ten.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Oh well, I'm sorry, which is tough.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Fine to eleven is fine, tough to hear eleven is fine? Yeah,
John Krasinski, Right, Yes.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I knew you would have your finger on the pulse
of the pulse man, because.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I was like, well, if it's not me, who is it?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Of course, John Krasinski from the office, Quiet Place, Jack Ryan.
His wife is Emily Blunt. I did not know that.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Prosecutors are laying out their case in Orange County against
twog Ting Gong, thirty year old man from Glendale who
they say killed an Orange County couple that he executed
them later burned their bodies in the desert, according to
the ocda's office. A person called the local police in
(10:48):
Perea said they hadn't heard from their family member. This
was mid October thirty seven year old Kwon Lan Wang
in several days, which was unusual not to hear from
this family member.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, And they said that that family member told authorities
that Wang had claimed that Gong owed him eighty thousand dollars.
So the family member says they contacted mister Gong three
days prior on October twelfth. Gong told the family member
that Wang and his wife failed to show up to
a meeting in New York City in which another business
associate was supposed to pay the money.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That sounds very fishy. Yeah, the family member said they
were unaware that such a meeting was ever going to
take place.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
And then yeah, Gong shows up on the family's surveillance
video on October fourteenth.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
And he says that wasn't me. But the video surveillance
footage was then mysteriously cut off. So they picked him
up at lax because bray Apedie started looking into this
and they thought, ah, this is a this is way
too suspicious.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So they believed that on October twelfth, they met somewhere
in the desert and that Gong executed Wang by shooting
him in the head, then put his body inside his
own tesla drove it back to the bray A home.
At the hole, they said he attacked the wife with
a hammer and hit her repeatedly until she gave him
the password to her phone. He then took her inside
(12:08):
of her tesla, where they drove out to the desert,
and it was in the desert that they he supposedly
shot and killed the wife and burned the body.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I'm gonna ask an odd question here. If Tesla was
not involved, would they list the make of the car
in this story. That's odd, isn't it. When you've heard
stories that involve cars with crime. Yeah, very rarely do
you get the make of the car. You just say
he took her in her car to the desert. Can
(12:38):
you open Can you open your truck with your phone?
I think so? Yes, Okay, I have an app that is.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
That I would say, was the only reason that they
would even have to say that this was a Tesla
because it says that he wanted to get the password
to her phone, and if he has the password to
her phone.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
So that's what he wanted it for.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But all he would need is her phone. He doesn't
need the ta he doesn't need the password. You just
hold your phone up to the Tesla ed it unlocks.
You're right, I mean the idea of that. They always
include that as part of the stories about anything.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
About anything they tes has to be talked about.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
It'd be one thing if it was a Lamborghini, right
or something like that. Yeah, but tesla's now are so
ubiquitous here in southern Calisa exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
You wouldn't read Prius twice in this story without It's
like you put Wang's body inside of his own tesla
and then took her tesla. It's all irrelevant.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Very well, now we have a new country artist.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I immediately send that song to my mom and my grandparents.
My mom's at the retirement home right now, having brunch
with my grandparents. I call my mom immediately after sending
the song, and I hear my grandfather in the background
playing the song so loud from this phone. I can
hear it from my mom's in the middle of the
dining hall retirement.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
That I love you.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
My grandparents probably love you, they just don't know it yet.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
We love the whole family.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, that's quite a family.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I knew the song would provide smiles and joy.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Yeah, Hi, Gary, Hi, Shannon Dixon, Dallas is great. I
am gay myself. And that song is also a karaoke
song on one of them lists. It's really fun to
sing in a big group of people. Thanks for the show,
having a great time.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Take care. You can hear it great? You could hear
trumpets of Jesus in the background.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Oh you could. Oh that's so funny. That's so funny.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
How come we never go to karaoke as a show.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Well, once they tore down dimples, across the street used
to go to dimple reduce the number of karaoke bars
that were available to us on a regular basis. There's
a pizza place up there we live that I would
love karaoke.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
See could I pay an amount of money to see
you sing Dixon Dallas?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
No at karaoke? Nope, it's not on my catalog.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I mean, I know that you put it in your catalog.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
No, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Now, every time I hear a country song that I know,
I'm a little hesitant. You would jump in with both feet.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
There's gonna be a surprise coming in the second verse.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Give me Shannon and go on TikTok and look at
that Dixon Dallas reactions Absolutely hilarious. Some talking clients because
of that work. Oh don't down under my office desk.
I'm laughing. Hopefully nobody sees me. But go to TikTok
and look at the Dixon demos teless reaction.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I bet, I mean, because it's got to be what
you and I did.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Nick Paliachini's sending us bars where we can sing karaoke, local,
local ones.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Like around here.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, the bullet bar in North Hollywood sounds safe.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yep. It's located right across from Stargardens. A couple of
stories that were following President elect Trump is in Washington,
d C. Today. He stopped by for a visit to
the White House. Met with President Biden in the Oval Office.
Trump visited House Republicans before he made his trip over
to the White House. Also kind of stunned the Pentagon
(16:22):
and the broader world of defense by nominating Pete Hegseth
to serve as Secretary of Defense, someone pretty unexperienced at
least in government, untested on the global stage clearly, but
would take over the world's largest, most powerful military. He
is an Army National Guard officer, well known in conservative circles,
of course, as a co host on Fox News Channel.
(16:45):
He's an author, Harvard educated, Princeton educated, not a dumb
guy by any means, but just does not have the
government experience that other people were expecting. Well.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
In La County School District, teacher became I'm so obsessed
with a middle school student she's accused of sexually abusing
by the way that she left. Her husband described the
boy as her crystal meth said she was willing to
go to jail for him. This is according to a
prosecutor in court documents yesterday. Her name is Colleen Colleen
(17:21):
Tarcaerta Rico Moerto Rico, thank you. Colleen Moerto Rico, forty
three years old, arrested last week, charged with seven counts
of committing lude acts on a boy she met when
he was twelve years old, the abuse lasting more than
a year.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Uh, I wouldn't say. I'd love to know the mentality,
the psychology that goes into this woman feeling that a
twelve year old is her Crystal meth. But I am interested. Well, she.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Didn't engage in the inappropriate relationship until he was thirteen.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
That doesn't okay, Well, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
They say that her conduct toward the boy became more
severe in recent days. She drove to the victim's new
high school and waited for him in her car, or
they allegedly had a sexual interaction. She's also accused of
contacting a third party one of this guy's this Kid's
(18:23):
friends via direct message on Instagram in order to continue
communicating with the boy. She said she was in love
with him. She had left her husband, that he was
the only person she would go to jail for. You
are my Crystal meth My god, what a mental illness.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
The prosecutor said that multiple people in her family pleaded
with her, asked for her to stop the relationship with
the boy.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
She has two children.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Do somebody who was having this kind of a relationship
with a thirteen year old boy?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Lord?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Do you just leave it up to the Hey, you
should really stop that relationship.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
No, now you can phone that in. She's got two
children and grandchildren she takes care of. She's been a
teacher for twenty four years. What okay again, I go
back to see what she looks like? My question in
the first place, which is what breaks in someone?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Where this clearly this is not a what's the word
a well grounded sexual attraction. This is something that broke
in this woman. Is it from a history of abuse
that she suffered? At about that? Say?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Maybe? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Is it something where I mean, this is what she
looks like. Okay, I mean, but it's how I don't
understand how that materializes. She has no prior criminal record.
She's cooperating fully with legal process. She said she's prepared
to address these serious allegations in court.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
When you are I don't know, I don't know. That's
that is odd to me. And when you have kids
of your own.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, they and they don't describe how old these kids.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Are, but they say she has grandchildren, so the kids
are okay.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
So they're old enough to have their own kids. The
LAPD said it's searching for additional victims. The prosecutor wouldn't
comment on whether anyone else had made accusations against her.
La Unified also has not really said much other than
to say that she is on leave from her job.
The judge did not release matta Rico. She's going to
(20:40):
be in jail a lieu of five hundred and ninety
five hundred and ninety thousand dollars bail do back in
court later this month. Can't speak to the team, can't
go near his home or school. Authorities didn't name the
school that matta Rico is working for in order to
protect the alleged victim's identity.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Everybody knows who that is.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Probably that's that would be hard to hide in that neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
So robotaxis taxis with no drivers said to hit the
streets of California. What could go wrong?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
A lot you ever seen these, by the way, You've
ever been on the road with these?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, I've seen one in Phoenix.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, that's where I saw it too.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Spring training. It was very bizarre.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I did not like it that I mean, I don't
even like the idea of getting into one. There's something
to be said about not having the ability to get
out of an accident if you if you're watching one
happen in front of you, you can't do much about it. Allegedly,
the car will stop before you, before you get involved
with it. But I'm just not down with that just yet. No,
(21:53):
And to see it was also weird. You're pulling up
next to you at an intersection and there's nothing in
the car?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Would you say you're more are down with Dixon Dallas?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
No, I don't know that A real ding dong you have?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
You are writing poetry today? You even really sure?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I am.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
South Dakota's John Thune is the new leader of Senate Republicans.
Thone and John Cornan faced off in a secret vote
after Rick Scott was eliminated in the first round ballot
for Senate Majority Leader Thuone replaces Mitch McConnell, who's stepping
aside as Republican leader.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
In the week since the election, Elon Musk has done
a lot on his platform X to reiterate his support
for Donald Trump, and a lot of people do not
like it. And a lot of people have said that
they're going to swear off of X formerly Twitter, and
they're moving to blue Sky. Seems like we hear of
blue Sky every once and heard of that never Jax
(22:57):
wants and who used to Jack Dorsey? Sorry, who used
to own We were just talking about Jack Swatson. Jack
Dorsey who used to own Twitter, was the founder had
started blue Sky, which is a rival service. They said
that blue Sky has gained more than a million new
users in the week since the election.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Remember we told you about that explosion in Louisville yesterday.
At least two people were killed in that a dozen injured.
It was at a Kentucky plant that produces coloring for
food and soft drinks. The blast caused a partial collapse
of the factory building and Louisville led to some nearby evacuations.
A shelter in place order all the victims, employees at
(23:35):
the plant atf IS there.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I think we briefly mentioned yesterday this attack in China.
A sixty two year old guy drove his suv into
a crowd and killed at least thirty five people. He
was upset, I think was a divorce proceeding that he
was upset about, so he drove his car into a
crowd of people and killed dozens. Chinese officials have been
(24:00):
removing bouquets of flowers that were left by grieving family
members and friends. Uniform police officers are shooing away the bystanders,
telling them not to take pictures of this location. It
was outside of sports arena. Hospitals where the patients were
taken after the attack have blocked journalists from speaking with
family members and on the internet there in China, sensors
(24:22):
are deleting videos, news articles, and commentaries about the attack.
In fact, for the most part, they don't even allow
there to be a death toll reported. The statement offers
very limited details. They have held no news conferences on
what exactly happened. Inarguably the deadliest violent attack in China
in a decade.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Well, you know, I was thinking about that Louisville explosion
it's just a coincidence that there's a major push against
coloring for food and soft drinks right now, right, I
hope so, yeah, so too, I hope. So people are
very very emotional about that.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Is this Zukes? Is that how you say it? Zekes?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
These new robotaxis, Yeah, that sounds about right. Zuke self
driving vehicles began rolling out in San Francisco this week.
They are expected to meet with the robo taxis designed
by Waim, which sounds like a weight loss drug, which
offered rides to the public in San Francisco in La
earlier this year. I haven't seen anything in LA, but
(25:27):
I'm also not really in La ever.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah, they said the driver list trips for Zukes around
South of Market in San Francisco will be for testing
and research purposes. Only their fleet has autonomously navigated San
Francisco streets with a safety driver. Now that we've passed
all critical safety measures, they're excited to begin testing the
robotaxi in this wonderful city. I guess it's owned by Amazon.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
What comes up to me is the ability to hack
into these things.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
That's a concern.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
That is a big concern, But I'm.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Less concerned about that than if I'm sitting there watching
an accident happening in front of me and not being
able to do anything about it. Right, and again, I
know that the technology has advanced to the point where
just about every new car truck sold has a collision
avoidance software and a capability where a little it'll jam
(26:23):
the brakes on for you if someone's stopping ahead of
you and you don't react in time. But that's just
an uncomfortable feeling of feeling. They said, this vehicle design
is decidedly futuristic. A pill shaped vehicle essentially one giant
cabin on wheels that features two benches that face each other.
There's no middle, there's no driver's seat. If you saw
(26:47):
that's wild maybe one of the late seasons of Westworld
futuristic Sye futuristic la setting. At one point they had
taxis that looked like this. That same kind of boxy
bread box on wheels kind of thing with no front
and no back is what it looked like.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
It's funny being skeptical about these when we have decided
just to get in the car with strangers in various
cities all over the world. That is a good point like,
I have no idea what the Uber driver was doing
before he picked me up. We could have been putting
methan his eyeballs.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Do you ever get into the Uber and he's just
removing those latex gloves? No, yeah, you don't know where
those are.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
I have no idea. I don't know if there's a
body in the back. I don't know if he's had
six fifty one fifties. Like, I have no idea, But
yet I will anally get into a stranger's car pretty routinely.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Right without telling somebody, without even like forwarding information. Hey,
just so you know, Paul is my Uber driver. He's
driving a black Toyota Camry, and here's the license plate.
If I don't come back, at least you have some
clues as to where to look.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
You don't think that now I could be living in
that car for all you know.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, but I don't think. Most of the cars that
I've gotten into have been pretty clean. There's only been
ones or two's that are, you know, looking like there's
some extra French fries under the floor.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
Match.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I remember I got in one in New England when
the Chargers played there, And this was when we had
a four hour pregame and it was early in the
morning and I get into it was so it was
a Sunday morning and there's French fries on the floor
and there was a plastic Tiara on the on the
(28:42):
other seat there. It just looked like someone had a
wild night, but it wasn't cleaned up after and.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
You got to make some extra bucks, yeah, to pass
the time. I also heard a story about somebody couple
driving in their car and somebody just they pull up
to an intersection and somebody pops open that back door
pops in because they were also driving a Blue Honda,
which is exactly what they were waiting for, a Blue
(29:09):
Honda their Uber driver coming through.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I did that once. I got into the wrong car,
a private citizen, somebody who's not an Uber driver, right,
And it was in another country too, and they were
just what you know, it was a guy and I
tried to get I opened up the back and he
lost it, freaked out like sir, profile me, I am
not a harm to you, but he doesn't know that.
(29:34):
I don't look like I'm a harm I could harm you,
do I.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
You know me?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
You know I can harm you. But if you didn't
know me.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Like you're a secret agent of some kind. Did you
know there's another hurricane coming?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
You've been really distracted ever since Dixon Dallas entered our lives.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Oh and people keep telling us to like slow down
on his name, like that's a you said it first.
But people are like, you guys are saying too fast.
We're not gonna say it's slower. Everybody gets the joke.
There is a disturbance in the Caribbean likely to become
a tropical depression in the coming days, even an eighty
(30:19):
percent chance of developing into a tropical depression if it
does get to tropical storm strength. They're gonna name this
one Sarah, Sarah. No time is a good time for Sarah.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
What's that song about.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Jefferson Starship?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Is that Jefferson Starship? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yeah, yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:44):
What is that song about?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I don't know it's about Sarah?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Is it about bouncing bouncy pork?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You're in Shannon will continue after this.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
MoU dang.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You
can always hear us live on ca FIAM six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio AP
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 (00:10):
That's all. Do they like it? Well, that's one way
to put it. I mean, we've clearly determined that it's
not about a horse.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
There's not a horse in the entire song.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
There was no horse. I don't think that he references
a horse in any of his songs as a matter
of fact. But well, do you want to hear some
of them or you want to wait for a while. Sure,
let me just do this first.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
According to Torrance Pde, they are evacuating the courthouse there.
The reports from the scene include the building as being
evacuated possibly due to a bomb threat or a suspicious package.
So a lot of police presence there in Torrents around
the courthouse there at Maple and Maracopa fire crews responding
to a fire burning along Palisades Drive in Pacific Palisades
(00:59):
as well.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, that's right next to that reservoir that's there kind
of the intersection of Santa Ynez and Palisades. So that's
if you're in that area, you're going to see smoke
in a helicopter something.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
They're going to jump on this thing and have it
under control very quickly.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And it doesn't. I mean, the wind is not anything
like we saw last week, so this should be taken
care of relatively quickly. It's not a horse he's bouncing
off my booty cheeks. Refers to a cowboy riding a horse. No, no, sir,
I mean it refers to a cowboy. Refers to a
couple of cowboys, but not no horse.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You guys, we need to hear the next line.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
No, hey, nope, what comes after levin the way he rides?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
No, we're hanging on and through that here.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Help us out. No google it, you guys, Yeah, don't
or not or not? Just be safe there.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
And I say, that song just made my day and
it just made me smile.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
That tune is awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It just is very bouncy.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Haha.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
See what I did there?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I do See what you did there?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I'm telling you. When I put this odd in the car,
it just completely unpronounced to me what was happening or
what was to come. I thought that is so awful,
and then I thought this is going to provide so
much joy to people.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I thought broke back Mound was just a nice Western.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Morning, Gary and Shannon, great show as usual. This is
mad Cow from Nevada. Hey, man, say the name of
that artist with the booty cheeks again so I can
send it to my gay buddies.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
All right, by I did think of my gay buddies
and sending it.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
His name is Dixon, Dallas. Is that right?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I think you're mixing that up. That can't be his name. Oh,
that can't be his name. You know what it told
me about it? Say it's slower.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Fun.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I literally thought that country song was about a horse
when you guys first played it.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Obviously I've never heard it before, but holy mother of Pearl,
I just read the lyrics and note it is.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Not a statement, because I totally feel you. Man, I
thought it was about a horse too.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Don't read it.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Not not a horse, not a quick cleansing moment, if
you don't mind. I listened to the dare you bring Jesus?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You can need a buffer got between Dixon and Jesus.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I'm the only ghost tattling.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Then we're moving on him to them, I saying.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'm okay, that's better, all right. Earlier this summer, you
remember that story about a kid who a kid with
autism who was playing with a hood ornament on a
Mercedes and and may have damaged the hood ornament a
(03:54):
ten year old old boy, Alfredo Morales. And there's a
video of the owner of the car walking over and
slapping the kid. Wow, and I mean people lost their
minds when the video went around. Quickly he was identified,
he was charged. The family of Alfredo Morales, the kid
(04:18):
who was in that video, has been given a brand
new car.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
But it's not a Mercedes, it is not, but the.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
People at Airport Marina Ford decided to give them a
brand new car because they went in. They have a
Ford F one to fifty pick up with a camper
on it and apparently at least at times had been
living in the truck and they brought it in it
needed repairs. Dan Thurrow as the general manager at Airport
(04:48):
Marina A Ford and talked to Channel seven about him.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
There's a child involved in a situation like that and
the condition of living in the other vehicle and trying
to survive out of that, and then that vehicle being
as bad as it was it was. Really it's just
the right thing to do.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That's just awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Jamie Bushten Bishten sorry is the Auto Group president, and
talked about it.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Dan got the Ford to come into the dealership.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
We saw it on the flatbed and we were like,
uh oh, this needs more than just a repair.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, they were talking about this thing needed a full
drive train.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
A new transmission engine. The interior would I've had to
be completely taken out.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So they gave them a brand new, almost brand new
Ford Explorer twenty twenty three, and it comes with a
Gold Certified warranty, according to Dan Thurrow, the GM, which
means that if that Ford Explorer has any issue at all,
they can go to any Ford dealer anywhere and get
(05:53):
that thing fixed. The family has also raised nearly one
hundred thousand dollars on a co fundly page since this incident.
And I mean it was one of the most egregious awful.
The guy thought that the kid did something malicious, and
even though his sister was with him and trying to
(06:13):
protect her ten year old brother, the guy walked up
and slapped the ten year old.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
He has been charged with willful cruelty to a child
and battery on a person. PS.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, so that's good, and I think the bigger thing
is that his name was out there, which means that
people could publicly shame him for being such a complete, a.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Right add.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Versarial person.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Were you gonna have swear?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yes, what is wrong with me?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I don't know. Something's going on because that's the second
time as well. You did swear in the first hour
and you were almost said the bad word. Well it's you.
You're fighting for the people.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I listened to the tumble of I think those make
you mad?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Dixon Dallas, Well, you're the one.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Made me look at it.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I did not. I simply said, play the beginning of
this song. You're the one who did the deep dive.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It won't happen again.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
What are you pointing to? Oh you don't like that
dress either, that's an awful look. It's because of this part.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
This part. Stop doing that.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You know what I'm doing and you know that that
is not something you want to put sausage casing on.
Well in a sweatshirt.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
The happiness has gone away. Now we got to dig
into some bad crime stories and we come back.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
All right, are we gonna? Are we gonna keep the
new Booty song? Though? Can we keep it? Can we
put it on our special board?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Over the put on the board. Yeah, I'm not certain.
I want to What if I just put that little piece.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
The bouncing on the booty?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
No, we don't need the whole site. I couldn't play
the whole song. I know, I just that clip.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
N I'll think about it.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Senator John Thune won an internal election among Republican senators
become the next majority leader in the Senate. Makes the
South Dakota Republican a key partner to President elect Trump.
Thoon beat out two other competitors, John Cornyn out of Texas,
Rick Scott out of Florida. You got majority support from
Republican senators in a secret ballot vote. So he is
(08:39):
going to be replacing Senator Mitch McConnell, who is the
longest serving Senate party leader. Of course, Republicans are going
to take majority control of the Senate with the fifty
three seats that they won in last week's election. That
will be of course, the first week of January.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
People's sexiest Man Alive has been announced. Do you know
who it is?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I got the call and they told me it was
not me.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Ah, what place did you come in?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
They didn't say, right, They said that I was not
in the top ten.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Oh well, I'm sorry, which is tough.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Fine to eleven is fine, tough to hear eleven is fine? Yeah,
John Krasinski, Right, Yes.
Speaker 1 (09:17):

of the pulse man, because.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I was like, well, if it's not me, who is it?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Of course, John Krasinski from the office, Quiet Place, Jack Ryan.
His wife is Emily Blunt. I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
You didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (09:35):

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Prosecutors are laying out their case in Orange County against
twog Ting Gong, thirty year old man from Glendale who
they say killed an Orange County couple that he executed
them later burned their bodies in the desert, according to
the ocda's office. A person called the local police in
(10:48):
Perea said they hadn't heard from their family member. This
was mid October thirty seven year old Kwon Lan Wang
in several days, which was unusual not to hear from
this family member.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, And they said that that family member told authorities
that Wang had claimed that Gong owed him eighty thousand dollars.
So the family member says they contacted mister Gong three
days prior on October twelfth. Gong told the family member
that Wang and his wife failed to show up to
a meeting in New York City in which another business
associate was supposed to pay the money.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That sounds very fishy. Yeah, the family member said they
were unaware that such a meeting was ever going to
take place.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
And then yeah, Gong shows up on the family's surveillance
video on October fourteenth.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
And he says that wasn't me. But the video surveillance
footage was then mysteriously cut off. So they picked him
up at lax because bray Apedie started looking into this
and they thought, ah, this is a this is way
too suspicious.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So they believed that on October twelfth, they met somewhere
in the desert and that Gong executed Wang by shooting
him in the head, then put his body inside his
own tesla drove it back to the bray A home.
At the hole, they said he attacked the wife with
a hammer and hit her repeatedly until she gave him
the password to her phone. He then took her inside
(12:08):
of her tesla, where they drove out to the desert,
and it was in the desert that they he supposedly
shot and killed the wife and burned the body.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I'm gonna ask an odd question here. If Tesla was
not involved, would they list the make of the car
in this story. That's odd, isn't it. When you've heard
stories that involve cars with crime. Yeah, very rarely do
you get the make of the car. You just say
he took her in her car to the desert. Can
(12:38):
you open Can you open your truck with your phone?
I think so? Yes, Okay, I have an app that is.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
That I would say, was the only reason that they
would even have to say that this was a Tesla
because it says that he wanted to get the password
to her phone, and if he has the password to
her phone.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
So that's what he wanted it for.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But all he would need is her phone. He doesn't
need the ta he doesn't need the password. You just
hold your phone up to the Tesla ed it unlocks.
You're right, I mean the idea of that. They always
include that as part of the stories about anything.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
About anything they tes has to be talked about.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
It'd be one thing if it was a Lamborghini, right
or something like that. Yeah, but tesla's now are so
ubiquitous here in southern Calisa exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
You wouldn't read Prius twice in this story without It's
like you put Wang's body inside of his own tesla
and then took her tesla. It's all irrelevant.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Very well, now we have a new country artist.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I immediately send that song to my mom and my grandparents.
My mom's at the retirement home right now, having brunch
with my grandparents. I call my mom immediately after sending
the song, and I hear my grandfather in the background
playing the song so loud from this phone. I can
hear it from my mom's in the middle of the
dining hall retirement.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
That I love you.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
My grandparents probably love you, they just don't know it yet.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
We love the whole family.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, that's quite a family.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I knew the song would provide smiles and joy.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Yeah, Hi, Gary, Hi, Shannon Dixon, Dallas is great. I
am gay myself. And that song is also a karaoke
song on one of them lists. It's really fun to
sing in a big group of people. Thanks for the show,
having a great time.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Take care. You can hear it great? You could hear
trumpets of Jesus in the background.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Oh you could. Oh that's so funny. That's so funny.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
How come we never go to karaoke as a show.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Well, once they tore down dimples, across the street used
to go to dimple reduce the number of karaoke bars
that were available to us on a regular basis. There's
a pizza place up there we live that I would
love karaoke.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
See could I pay an amount of money to see
you sing Dixon Dallas?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
No at karaoke? Nope, it's not on my catalog.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I mean, I know that you put it in your catalog.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
No, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Now, every time I hear a country song that I know,
I'm a little hesitant. You would jump in with both feet.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
There's gonna be a surprise coming in the second verse.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Give me Shannon and go on TikTok and look at
that Dixon Dallas reactions Absolutely hilarious. Some talking clients because
of that work. Oh don't down under my office desk.
I'm laughing. Hopefully nobody sees me. But go to TikTok
and look at the Dixon demos teless reaction.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I bet, I mean, because it's got to be what
you and I did.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Nick Paliachini's sending us bars where we can sing karaoke, local,
local ones.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Like around here.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, the bullet bar in North Hollywood sounds safe.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yep. It's located right across from Stargardens. A couple of
stories that were following President elect Trump is in Washington,
d C. Today. He stopped by for a visit to
the White House. Met with President Biden in the Oval Office.
Trump visited House Republicans before he made his trip over
to the White House. Also kind of stunned the Pentagon
(16:22):
and the broader world of defense by nominating Pete Hegseth
to serve as Secretary of Defense, someone pretty unexperienced at
least in government, untested on the global stage clearly, but
would take over the world's largest, most powerful military. He
is an Army National Guard officer, well known in conservative circles,
of course, as a co host on Fox News Channel.
(16:45):
He's an author, Harvard educated, Princeton educated, not a dumb
guy by any means, but just does not have the
government experience that other people were expecting. Well.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
In La County School District, teacher became I'm so obsessed
with a middle school student she's accused of sexually abusing
by the way that she left. Her husband described the
boy as her crystal meth said she was willing to
go to jail for him. This is according to a
prosecutor in court documents yesterday. Her name is Colleen Colleen
(17:21):
Tarcaerta Rico Moerto Rico, thank you. Colleen Moerto Rico, forty
three years old, arrested last week, charged with seven counts
of committing lude acts on a boy she met when
he was twelve years old, the abuse lasting more than
a year.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Uh, I wouldn't say. I'd love to know the mentality,
the psychology that goes into this woman feeling that a
twelve year old is her Crystal meth. But I am interested. Well, she.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Didn't engage in the inappropriate relationship until he was thirteen.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
That doesn't okay, Well, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
They say that her conduct toward the boy became more
severe in recent days. She drove to the victim's new
high school and waited for him in her car, or
they allegedly had a sexual interaction. She's also accused of
contacting a third party one of this guy's this Kid's
(18:23):
friends via direct message on Instagram in order to continue
communicating with the boy. She said she was in love
with him. She had left her husband, that he was
the only person she would go to jail for. You
are my Crystal meth My god, what a mental illness.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
The prosecutor said that multiple people in her family pleaded
with her, asked for her to stop the relationship with
the boy.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
She has two children.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Do somebody who was having this kind of a relationship
with a thirteen year old boy?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Lord?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Do you just leave it up to the Hey, you
should really stop that relationship.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
No, now you can phone that in. She's got two
children and grandchildren she takes care of. She's been a
teacher for twenty four years. What okay again, I go
back to see what she looks like? My question in
the first place, which is what breaks in someone?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Where this clearly this is not a what's the word
a well grounded sexual attraction. This is something that broke
in this woman. Is it from a history of abuse
that she suffered? At about that? Say?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Maybe? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Is it something where I mean, this is what she
looks like. Okay, I mean, but it's how I don't
understand how that materializes. She has no prior criminal record.
She's cooperating fully with legal process. She said she's prepared
to address these serious allegations in court.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
When you are I don't know, I don't know. That's
that is odd to me. And when you have kids
of your own.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, they and they don't describe how old these kids.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Are, but they say she has grandchildren, so the kids
are okay.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
So they're old enough to have their own kids. The
LAPD said it's searching for additional victims. The prosecutor wouldn't
comment on whether anyone else had made accusations against her.
La Unified also has not really said much other than
to say that she is on leave from her job.
The judge did not release matta Rico. She's going to
(20:40):
be in jail a lieu of five hundred and ninety
five hundred and ninety thousand dollars bail do back in
court later this month. Can't speak to the team, can't
go near his home or school. Authorities didn't name the
school that matta Rico is working for in order to
protect the alleged victim's identity.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Everybody knows who that is.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Probably that's that would be hard to hide in that neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
So robotaxis taxis with no drivers said to hit the
streets of California. What could go wrong?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
A lot you ever seen these, by the way, You've
ever been on the road with these?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, I've seen one in Phoenix.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, that's where I saw it too.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Spring training. It was very bizarre.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I did not like it that I mean, I don't
even like the idea of getting into one. There's something
to be said about not having the ability to get
out of an accident if you if you're watching one
happen in front of you, you can't do much about it. Allegedly,
the car will stop before you, before you get involved
with it. But I'm just not down with that just yet. No,
(21:53):
And to see it was also weird. You're pulling up
next to you at an intersection and there's nothing in
the car?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Would you say you're more are down with Dixon Dallas?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
No, I don't know that A real ding dong you have?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
You are writing poetry today? You even really sure?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I am.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
South Dakota's John Thune is the new leader of Senate Republicans.
Thone and John Cornan faced off in a secret vote
after Rick Scott was eliminated in the first round ballot
for Senate Majority Leader Thuone replaces Mitch McConnell, who's stepping
aside as Republican leader.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
In the week since the election, Elon Musk has done
a lot on his platform X to reiterate his support
for Donald Trump, and a lot of people do not
like it. And a lot of people have said that
they're going to swear off of X formerly Twitter, and
they're moving to blue Sky. Seems like we hear of
blue Sky every once and heard of that never Jax
(22:57):
wants and who used to Jack Dorsey? Sorry, who used
to own We were just talking about Jack Swatson. Jack
Dorsey who used to own Twitter, was the founder had
started blue Sky, which is a rival service. They said
that blue Sky has gained more than a million new
users in the week since the election.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Remember we told you about that explosion in Louisville yesterday.
At least two people were killed in that a dozen injured.
It was at a Kentucky plant that produces coloring for
food and soft drinks. The blast caused a partial collapse
of the factory building and Louisville led to some nearby evacuations.
A shelter in place order all the victims, employees at
(23:35):
the plant atf IS there.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I think we briefly mentioned yesterday this attack in China.
A sixty two year old guy drove his suv into
a crowd and killed at least thirty five people. He
was upset, I think was a divorce proceeding that he
was upset about, so he drove his car into a
crowd of people and killed dozens. Chinese officials have been
(24:00):
removing bouquets of flowers that were left by grieving family
members and friends. Uniform police officers are shooing away the bystanders,
telling them not to take pictures of this location. It
was outside of sports arena. Hospitals where the patients were
taken after the attack have blocked journalists from speaking with
family members and on the internet there in China, sensors
(24:22):
are deleting videos, news articles, and commentaries about the attack.
In fact, for the most part, they don't even allow
there to be a death toll reported. The statement offers
very limited details. They have held no news conferences on
what exactly happened. Inarguably the deadliest violent attack in China
in a decade.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Well, you know, I was thinking about that Louisville explosion
it's just a coincidence that there's a major push against
coloring for food and soft drinks right now, right, I
hope so, yeah, so too, I hope. So people are
very very emotional about that.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Is this Zukes? Is that how you say it? Zekes?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
These new robotaxis, Yeah, that sounds about right. Zuke self
driving vehicles began rolling out in San Francisco this week.
They are expected to meet with the robo taxis designed
by Waim, which sounds like a weight loss drug, which
offered rides to the public in San Francisco in La
earlier this year. I haven't seen anything in LA, but
(25:27):
I'm also not really in La ever.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah, they said the driver list trips for Zukes around
South of Market in San Francisco will be for testing
and research purposes. Only their fleet has autonomously navigated San
Francisco streets with a safety driver. Now that we've passed
all critical safety measures, they're excited to begin testing the
robotaxi in this wonderful city. I guess it's owned by Amazon.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
What comes up to me is the ability to hack
into these things.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
That's a concern.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
That is a big concern, But I'm.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Less concerned about that than if I'm sitting there watching
an accident happening in front of me and not being
able to do anything about it. Right, and again, I
know that the technology has advanced to the point where
just about every new car truck sold has a collision
avoidance software and a capability where a little it'll jam
(26:23):
the brakes on for you if someone's stopping ahead of
you and you don't react in time. But that's just
an uncomfortable feeling of feeling. They said, this vehicle design
is decidedly futuristic. A pill shaped vehicle essentially one giant
cabin on wheels that features two benches that face each other.
There's no middle, there's no driver's seat. If you saw
(26:47):
that's wild maybe one of the late seasons of Westworld
futuristic Sye futuristic la setting. At one point they had
taxis that looked like this. That same kind of boxy
bread box on wheels kind of thing with no front
and no back is what it looked like.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
It's funny being skeptical about these when we have decided
just to get in the car with strangers in various
cities all over the world. That is a good point like,
I have no idea what the Uber driver was doing
before he picked me up. We could have been putting
methan his eyeballs.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Do you ever get into the Uber and he's just
removing those latex gloves? No, yeah, you don't know where
those are.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
I have no idea. I don't know if there's a
body in the back. I don't know if he's had
six fifty one fifties. Like, I have no idea, But
yet I will anally get into a stranger's car pretty routinely.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Right without telling somebody, without even like forwarding information. Hey,
just so you know, Paul is my Uber driver. He's
driving a black Toyota Camry, and here's the license plate.
If I don't come back, at least you have some
clues as to where to look.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
You don't think that now I could be living in
that car for all you know.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, but I don't think. Most of the cars that
I've gotten into have been pretty clean. There's only been
ones or two's that are, you know, looking like there's
some extra French fries under the floor.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
Match.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I remember I got in one in New England when
the Chargers played there, And this was when we had
a four hour pregame and it was early in the
morning and I get into it was so it was
a Sunday morning and there's French fries on the floor
and there was a plastic Tiara on the on the
(28:42):
other seat there. It just looked like someone had a
wild night, but it wasn't cleaned up after and.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
You got to make some extra bucks, yeah, to pass
the time. I also heard a story about somebody couple
driving in their car and somebody just they pull up
to an intersection and somebody pops open that back door
pops in because they were also driving a Blue Honda,
which is exactly what they were waiting for, a Blue
(29:09):
Honda their Uber driver coming through.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I did that once. I got into the wrong car,
a private citizen, somebody who's not an Uber driver, right,
And it was in another country too, and they were
just what you know, it was a guy and I
tried to get I opened up the back and he
lost it, freaked out like sir, profile me, I am
not a harm to you, but he doesn't know that.
(29:34):
I don't look like I'm a harm I could harm you,
do I.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
You know me?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
You know I can harm you. But if you didn't
know me.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Like you're a secret agent of some kind. Did you
know there's another hurricane coming?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
You've been really distracted ever since Dixon Dallas entered our lives.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Oh and people keep telling us to like slow down
on his name, like that's a you said it first.
But people are like, you guys are saying too fast.
We're not gonna say it's slower. Everybody gets the joke.
There is a disturbance in the Caribbean likely to become
a tropical depression in the coming days, even an eighty
(30:19):
percent chance of developing into a tropical depression if it
does get to tropical storm strength. They're gonna name this
one Sarah, Sarah. No time is a good time for Sarah.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
What's that song about.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Jefferson Starship?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Is that Jefferson Starship? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yeah, yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:44):
What is that song about?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I don't know it's about Sarah?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Is it about bouncing bouncy pork?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
You're in Shannon will continue after this.
