Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Our last hour together this week. We've really had a
very eventful week.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Say it isn't so.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I know, We've enjoyed many parts of it, and so
many parts of it have been informative. We've really had
some great information this week about the fires, about the
rebuilding effort that we'll have to begin after the clean
up effort, the insurance questions, the realities concerning future insurance
issues in California. All of these things are things that
we've touched on this week, and it's really been an honor,
(00:34):
honestly to be here at this critical time in our
history of this community.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah. So thanks to our listeners, and we appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I know some of you have called in with what
you have learned on The Gary and Shannon Show this week.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Keep that coming. We will play.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Those for you a little later this hour before we
say goodbye.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That's the talkback feature on the iHeart Radio app. That's right,
So if a RB there's a mic thing you press in,
you have thirty seconds. Thirty seconds, so keep it tight,
keep it bright, all.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Right, The more concise the better.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Here's what's happening. Time four. What's happening.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
A gunman is at large after a deadly Santa Monica shooting.
The suspect identified as Fabian Mendez, according to the Santa
Monica cops.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Yeah, it happened on January the fifteenth, so just a
couple of days ago, on Wednesday, in the two hundred
block of Broadway one thirty in the morning, and shortly
before the shooting, the victim, described only as a man
in his thirties, believed to be homeless, was seen arguing
with an unidentified woman.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Well, anyway, this Fabian Mendez, they say, approached this homeless
person who was involved in this entire dispute, chased him
into the middle of the street, shot him in the back.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
He was found lying on the ground. That's where he
was pronounced dead.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
And then that's spects took off and is considered armed
and dangerous.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, six three Hispanic man, weighing about two eighty they say,
noticeable tattoos on his forearms.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Including Zamora in large letters.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Don't engage him, they're saying, called nine to one to one.
If you see him.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Okay, did you hear about the fire aid benefit concert?
Speaker 5 (02:24):

Speaker 3 (02:25):
The list is long, really long.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Oh yes, this one isn't unreal.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, it's better today.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
How long is his concert?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Like?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Three days?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
It's better to name who's not taking part because it's
just about everybody is taking part in this. So yes,
some of the top music artists are coming together to
host a benefit concert to help those impacted by the
deadly wildfires here. This is going to be held Thursday,
January thirtieth, so six days from now at both the
Into It Dome and the Key Forum. It will raise
(02:55):
money for rebuilding, which we've talked a lot about. It's
going to take a whole lot of money. It's it's
not a three day event, mark, It's a one night
only event. It starts at six pm and tickets for
both concerts go on sale next Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Well, you say both concerts, so I don't quite understand.
So there's a concert that's going to be at the
into A Dome and the Kio Forums simultaneously.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Wow, Yes, I think so, And forgive me, I got
my dates mixed up. Its scheduled for Thursday, January the thirtieth.
Of course that's the last Thursday in January. I said,

I mean it's not real.
Speaker 4 (04:07):

Flashback Friday.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, I didn't know if I did, Okay, Rod Stewart, Yeah,
Dave Matthews, John Mayer. I mean this is insane. That's
why I say how long is this concert? And also
what you'll see on stage, I hope is some great
jams from these people together.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
On stage collaborations.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Anyway, So Wednesday again at noon, Ticketmaster opens to get
tickets for this event, which is the thirtieth and this
one night only event will start at six o'clock in
the evening.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Fireaidla dot org for more information.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
By the way, just because we're talking about the fire,
iHeartRadio is hosting a special California town hall with Governor Newsom.
It's going to be Sunday this Sunday at nine am.
It's going to be all across the iHeartRadio California stations,
including of course KFI A. He's going to take questions
the Governor will from Californians who've been impacted by the fires,
(05:06):
and he's going to discuss plans for the future of
the state of California. So again it's KFI this Sunday
morning at nine. It is a special California town hall
with Governor Newsom live Sunday morning at nine.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Well, speaking of I want to give a way that
you can also make a difference and donate if you'd like.
There is a fire relief pop up in Marina Del Rey.
This is a collaboration between Los Angeles Magazine and Sharkis.
We know Sharky's It's this Saturday and this Sunday from
(05:41):
nine to four. Just all they ask please bring your
valid ID and a bag, and there's clothing, shoes, toys, eyeglasses,
you name it. They're going to have the whole shebang
there to provide some relief to fire victims against This
is a collaboration between Los Angeles magazine Sharky's one of
the ways you can give back and then also if
(06:05):
you need this help, they are there for you.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Again. In Marina del Rey.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
This fifty three foot mobile relief diner. Did you see
this thing? It's being deployed by Denny's. This is immense.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Oh, it's huge.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
It looks like an eighteen wheeler kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
It's a mobile diner.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's going to be parked and serving a hot breakfast
of fluffy pancakes with butter and syrup they say, sausage links, coffee,
and bottled water. It's going to be served to community
members who are displaced by the wildfires. Again, this is
from the mobile diner that is being hauled in this
huge Denny's mobile diner vehicle.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And there's three locations.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Number one is in Burbank where we are the lowest
parking lot. This is on West Empire Avenue. That will
happen Wednesday, next Wednesday and Thursday and Thursday, Yes, and
then the Rose Bowl that's another location, and of course
in Pasadena, the mobile diner will serve breakfast between eight
to two on Friday and Saturday, next Friday, Saturday, twenty
(07:07):
fourth and twenty fifth, and then the third location yet
to be determined for Sunday, the twenty sixth and twenty seven.
So basically, from next Wednesday through next Monday, the mobile
relief Denny's Diner will be out there to help feed those.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
In need.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Well, yeah, and those in the community. I mean, it's
an extraordinary thing. Just to see the diner, just to
see the vehicle being hauled is quite amazing. A remarkable thing,
was said by the assistant fire chief to the Pacific
Palisades community.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
We played this last night on Fox eleven. He got
very emotional when you.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Say, it's an extraordinary thing. All right.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
We've been focused on the forecast here locally because of
obvious for obvious reasons, the winds and the Santa Anas
that we just went through. By the way, there is
another one expected to happen sixty percent chance next Monday Tuesday,
a lot less damaging the what we just experienced. Meanwhile,
the cold inauguration, the inauguration being moved indoors because of
(08:10):
the extreme freezing temperatures in DC Monday. And then there's this,
a developing winter storm may bring rare snow and ice
to cities along the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida.
The storm is set to hit the region on Tuesday.
Too early to say how much snow or ice will fall,
but the rare event could pose a major problem on
(08:31):
roads and for utility companies.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Remember when he got really cold and Ted Cruz left
Texas to go to Mexico with his family and.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Did you go to Kanguy?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I left the dog behind, which was a really I
think there might have been a dogca I don't know.
That wasn't really mentioned to everybody. Just I mean, even
in his district, you know, even in his world as
a Texas Senator, his constituents turned on him.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Well, it reminds me of bask Wayndighana.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Right Ajack. Not so different, really not so different at all.
And back to our community and the palisades. So you know,
so many people affected in all of these fires are
looking for answers, and they're looking to public officials for answers. So,
(09:17):
I guess there was a fairly substantial community meeting in
Westwood last night, and that was of course attended. This
is for the Palisades community that was affected. And you
were telling me that they were affecting a huge crowd.
It wasn't a huge crowd, but it was a really
angry crowd.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yes, So we had at Lasco.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
So he fouled the report on this meeting last night,
and it opened with these community members who showed up
really frustrated and venting their emotions to the fire officials.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Shouting, standing up, shouting.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
You can imagine that, when can we get access? Why
couldn't you save our community?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Why is my home gone?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
And the fire officials are standing up there, and one
got pretty emotional.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, the LA Assistant fire Chief Joe Everett. Now Joe
Everett I think has been there in that community for
a long time.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
He had this to say to that group.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Extremely extremely hard for me to look you in the
eye knowing that.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Quite honestly, I feel like I've failed to disrespect. Now.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
What's interesting to me about that is I don't know
whether or not Joe Everett and the firefighters failed that
community or not. I mean, I understand that he feels bad,
but I don't know if he's speaking to some systemic
issue there in the Palisades. In other words, when you
say you failed me, what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Well, I think as a first responder, you know, he
has taken that oath to defend the public and make
sure that they are safe. So I think that's inherently
in him as a as a public servant, right, So
he's taking that responsibility on him, right.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
But that's not In other words, a responds to a
specific failing. It's a feeling though I've let the community down,
even though it would seem by many calculations there couldn't
have been done. Anything done by Joe Everett, the assistant
fire chief.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I mean, it's a breakdown in the system and the process,
thank you, Yeah, exactly, which you've talked about it in
the after action review.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Has to be fixed.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Whether it's the water, whether it's the amount of firefighters.
We talked about the budget cuts. It all came together
and the disaster is what we're seeing it to be now.
And in the clip that if you would have played
it a second longer, he pauses and you can hear
his voice break up when he and he apologizes to
(11:48):
those Yes, this is the clip.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
That gave me, and that's as long as it runs,
so I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
But yeah, I think clearly the emotion there, and as
you suggest, the responsibility that he feels to that community,
that's palpable.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
You can feel it there, and I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
He feels just like I wish I could have done something,
and I feel as though somehow I've let this community down.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
And no doubt he's not the only one who feels
like that.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I mean, there are hundreds of firefighters who no doubt
take this on as their responsibility, and they're such a
tight knit community.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Exactly, exactly Again, speaking of questions and answers, iHeart is
hosting the special California town Hall with Governor Newsom. It's
Sunday morning at nine am. It's across the iHeart California stations,
including KFI AM six forty so Newsom will take questions
from Californians who've been impacted by the fires and discussed
(12:46):
plans for the future. I think it could be an
interesting town hall.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I think it could be similar well, I was going
to say similar to the emotions that we saw last night.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I mean, it's an emotional thing you're going to of
course you're going to get motion from the people who interact.
So anyway, it's again Sunday morning at nine, this special
California town hall with Governor Newsom. And again if you're
just joining us, there is a huge fire Aid benefit
concert that is planned for Thursday, January thirtieth. The tickets
(13:18):
go on sale Wednesday of next week, but again the
actual benefit is Thursday, January thirtieth. It'll be at both
the Into a Dome and at the Key of Forum,
and it'll raise money for rebuilding communities that are obviously
devastated by the fires.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
And the lineup is a little something for everybody. Billie Eilish,
earth Wind and Fire, Green Day, Jelly Roll, Joni Mitchell,
Stevie Nicks, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, and the list goes
on and on. For more information, you can visit fireaidla
dot org.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
By the way, that Fireaid concert. If you can't go,
it's going to be broadcast and streamed live on Apple
Music and the Apple TV app, on Max, on iHeartRadio,
on Netflix, on Paramount Plus, on Prime Video.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
You get the idea.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
There'll be a lot of ways that you can actually
participate and take in this concert donations and concert information
at firedaid la dot org fireaid la dot org. So
a lot going on as we try to rally after
these fires. But the reality is it is a mountain
(14:25):
to climb and it is going to be a long,
hard climb at that. This is the Garian Shannon Show
and it is cool Flashback Friday.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Thank you Jacob for ALLDU. Thank you sum from nineteen
seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (14:37):

we get into our countdown that iHeart is hosting the
special California town Hall. It'll be Sunday morning right here
on this great radio station, KFI AM six forty, and
it's also across all of the California iHeart stations. But

Now it's time for nine news nuggets. You need to know,
Honorable Mention.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Spend an honor serving with you great and honorable motive.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
So today we're holding auditions to become the newest member
of Honorable Mention.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
All right, your Honorable Mention.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Orange County Fire Authority Chief Brian Fantasy saved two homes
and a burning Altadena neighborhood during the eating fire, and
he did it with milk and beer. Fantasy, who grew
up in Altadina, he recalls talking with his friends and brother,
each with Holmes.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
There.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
The fire had just sparked and eaten canyon. I told
them this is a quote. You're fine, you have nothing
to worry about. Well, hours later, of course, the unimaginable happened.
The fire reached their neighborhood. Fantasy was unable to reach
his brother. His phone, he says, had stopped working. So
I thought I needed to get up there, fearing the worst.
(20:21):
Then he got a call Fantasy's brother and family safely evacuated,
and he was already up there, he says, Well, he
thought I could go at least check on his home.
Nearly fifty years in the fire service was not enough
to prepare Fantasy for what he saw.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Total nightmare. The house was.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Still standing, the surrounding homes were fully engulfed in flames, though,
And he didn't have a fire engine, and there was
no fire engine in sight, and so he thought he
would check the refrigerator, which he did, and there was
some milk and a couple of beers. And this is
a first for the fire chief he went back and
(21:03):
kind of ran back out there.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
He cooled it off.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
He cooled off the gas meter. I think the which
is already melting. They say yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
And he used the milk and beer right to cool.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
It off exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Apparently that was enough though, because the two homes involved
there were the neighbor's home and that home in which
he found the milk and beer. They were the only
ones left standing on the whole block. He says that
firefighting in southern California is a whole new game. He said,
this is our new reality, this house to house urban
conflagration stuff. We're going to start seeing more and more
(21:37):
of that extraordinary story.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
It was a good work.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Milk and beer, and I guess you have to be
fairly invented.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Number nine a number nine. I did nine plays if
the cops dirty nine times out of tennis.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Partners dirty two and I speak nine languages, act rank
basically everybody at table learning.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
I'd feel ready to go another nine.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
And Niner did, like chick Niner in there where you're
calling from Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Talking, there is an emergent controversy across the pond. Apparently
Colchester City Council. You were telling me. That's in England,
is it or Sussex?
Speaker 3 (22:13):
England?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
I see.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
They say that a lot of their spaces for parking
are underused because they've made the spaces so narrow that
cars can't park there. Modern vehicles are too big for
their spaces. They said this at a city council meeting.
I love the way the Brits talk. Anyway, go for it.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
The spaces are too small, my lord.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
They're frustrating for drivers. I can't do the accident. I'll
leave that to you.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
But what they do say is that they're going to
try to widen the bays and widen these spaces in
the car parks. And the only reason I think it's
particularly great that this story is in is that I
think we're playing that out here in this country.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
All.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I think that these spaces tend to be a little
on the small side. As a result, people take up
a space plus ten percent, and that just plays out
through the entire.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Especially the hospital structures and the parking lots and mall
structures as well.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Thank you, yes number eight.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Well, my time is bold every eight second listening to
eight different bosses drawn on about mission statements.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Hey, how about this? Addicts struggling to buy drugs.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
According to the police, drug addicts in one of Wales's
most deprived areas are telling police they're struggling to buy
illegal substances after an initiative to cut crime.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
It's according to the police.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Oh so they've cracked down and it's working.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
And it's working, and now they're going to the police
department saying I can't get my loot, I can't get
what I need, I can't get my next high.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
They've carried out thirty five raids in this community and
I guess so successfully that drug addicts are complaining they
can't get their stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yeah, here's a quote from a CORP police official. Addicts
have been coming up to us on the streets and
telling us theyre struggling to get drugs because we've been
able to start turning off some of the supply taps.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Well, I mean I got a job, job well done,
exactly number seven.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
The seventh son of the seventh son we're on with.
Speaker 8 (24:29):
Seven days would have done in a sector seven seven am,
seven years of college done to drain seven seven seven days?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
All right?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
How about this? Americans rush to learn Mandarin on dual lingo.
Do you have to Dual Lingo app.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I don't, but I have a bunch of apps like
it to learn other languages.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, and this is as TikTok ban looms and Red
Note rises. We talked about Red Note a little bit
earlier this week as being a replacement or one of
the alternatives to TikTok. So a mid Sunday's Ban Americans,
they have just downloaded Dual Lingo to learn Chinese Mandarin Chinese.
As more and more people are downloading Red Note, the
(25:13):
language learning app, reported a two hundred and sixteen percent
spike in Mandarin learners compared to the same time last year.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
This is the way people are saying, Hey, you can't
take away our TikTok. You're so worried about the Chinese
and you're worried about data being shared. We're going to
show you, essentially how much we don't want you to
ban our TikTok. We're going to get all of these
other Chinese apps. That's what this is about, right. It's
essentially protest downloading kind of.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Yeah, and it's said to be owned by the same company,
and over seven hundred million users have reportedly flocked to
the other app to red note.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
But this just did Mandarin. Chinese is really hard to learn.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yeah, especially on du Lingo. My goodness. Yeah, number six six,
you got six. There's six more weeks of later. What
a picture of me a rabbi and six drunk and longshorey.
We just stick you in a nursing home closer to us.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
I don't have to, Guy, take that drink another six pack?
Speaker 7 (26:14):
All right?
Speaker 4 (26:14):
A pizza rha in England. We have a lot of
stories from across the pond. In England is charging one
hundred and twenty dollars to add pineapple to its pizza.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
One hundred and twenty.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Where they're getting that pineapple from? I mean, I don't
understand why it's so expensive.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
And surprisingly, this is not the highest price charge for
pineapple in the past year. Almost four hundred dollars UH
variant hit the California market last May. So it's a
special pineapple.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Oh, this is a special kind of pineapple. That's why
it's so expensive.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
I see.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
So they want this particular variant of pineapple and that's
why it's so expensive. Okay, and that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Yeah, are you a pineapple on pizza?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Guy?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
No, I'm not, But I mean I think people should
have their pine apple if that's what they want, and
it shouldn't be it should be priced appropriately and then sensibly.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
So number five for five, I have five rules.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
We begin bombing in five minutes. Five little monkeys. This
is the year five point five.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Do me a favorite, loose five pounds immediately say it ain't.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
So there is a shortage that is leaving Dunkin Donuts
stores without any donuts. It's happening in Nebraska, New Mexico
and some other states. So Duncan dropped the donuts from
their names and now it's just called Duncan. So at
least in Nebraska, New Mexico and some other states, there
are no donuts there on the shelves waiting either when
(27:44):
you go into the Dunkin stores. And Omaha, for example,
no donuts in the cases.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Yeah quote due to a manufacturing air. But some locations
did offer munchkins or those donut holes by the way,
so you can still get a donut hole, but you
can't get the donut.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Throughout Albuquerque and the surrounding suburbs, store after store confirming
there's a donut drought. Some employees are saying it's the
supply chain issues. Others say that delivery trucks didn't show
up with the cargo. Employees are saying they're hoping that
the stocks will be replenished. But this is a crisis
in the donut world.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Okay, except there's other locations. They point to Saint Joseph,
Missouri in Boston, where Duncan has a near cult like following.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
They found no shortage of the sweet treats.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
So they're telling the people in Olah, go to Missouri
if you want donuts number four minute.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
It's probably on his fourth tranquilizer by now, commandment number four.
This isn't the same world he left four years ago.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
A millionaire who wants to live forever stops taking longevity
drug over concerns its sped up his aging.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
This guy's famous, This guy, Brian Johnson. He's this tech
millionaire and you can see a stone fallover social media.
So he's been injecting himself with plasma from his teenage
son and apparently one of the fifty four different supplements
that he takes every day to extend his life was
he says, now making him older, not younger. He's a millionaire.
(29:19):
He made all his money. I think it was one
of those payment companies, you know, sort of a PayPal
like company.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
It was acquired by PayPal.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
It's called brain Tree. Yeah, right, forty seven years old.
He's actually a subject of a Netflix doc called But
Don't Die, The Man who Wants to Live Forever. He
took fifty four, as you mentioned, pills every day and
it's apparently backfiring.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Did you see the movie The Substance.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
No, I can't wait to see it here. It's kind
of creepy.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
It's very creepy. But this is what it is.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Oh, this is.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Very similar to that with Demi Moore and Dennis Quaid,
and it's the whole idea of the impossible stand Beauty
standards set are set in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Sure, but very few of us in Hollywood that have
the natural sexy, for example, that I have.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
That's right, yeah, y'all can't.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Most people need a supplement of some.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Kind how to get pregnant, to get your glow.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
This is wrap a micin.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
It's a drug that was originally used as an immunosuppressant
to get like after an organ transplant type thing. They
patients will take it to get around the rejection. And
it's also a treatment for certain cancers and rare diseases,
but apparently it works in such a way that it
can have a significant role in aging and age related diseases,
(30:41):
and so they're thinking their potential anti aging benefits. But
it turns out that wrap a micin is having the
opposite effect, and so jillionaire tech gazillionaire Brian Johnson, who's
trying to extend his life, is actually aging more rapidly
as a resis of its use of rapa mication.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Yeah, he reports some skin infections, high glucose levels, increased
resting heart rate.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
That's not good.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
And he has spent about two million dollars every year
for almost five years now, so almost ten million dollars
worth on this health regimen.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
So he needs to get his money back from the
rap of mication people who told him that maybe that
was another supplement he needed to add.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I want to end with this.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
He's also used shock treatments on his genitals in an
apparent effort to gain the erections of an eighteen year old.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Well, he might have just been doing that for the fun.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Here's a little blue pill for that, isn't there?
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Number three three shall be the number count and the
number of the counting shall be three.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Fight were dead within three hours.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
Three security clearance level three, all.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Three of the three.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
I got all three of you guys for the rest
of your natural born live. After about three days, they
both start to stink.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Three.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
You know, we know about ars and then a lot
of talk about artisan right now in southern California. But
this is a bizarre case involving a forty four year
old woman, Patricia Williams. Judge is sentencing her to twelve
years in prison. She used these tortilla chips to set
fire to a home in Springfield.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Three people inside that.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Home, Springfield, Missouri. The tackis talkies. All right, I've seen them.
I know them, talkies. Thank you, Keanna, thank you, yeah so.
And she was arrested right there at the scene intentionally set.
She admitted to authorities that she used the spicy snack
(32:40):
to start the fire, knowing it would combust due to
its high grease content.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
And she was of course caught on camera, I mean
surveillance footage, and she was seen buying two dollars worth
of gasoline at a nearby gas station.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
She bore the gas on the.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
In this soda bottle and then on the homes floor
and a pile of laundry. She put all of this gasoline,
then set fire to the tortilla chips and used them
to ignite the blaze. So it was it was out
not arson trying to you know, off the people inside.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
But thank goodness, those three people inside they escaped, not hurt.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
And she's getting twelve years in prison. Number two.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
What's going on?
Speaker 8 (33:21):
You two? We got two fingers one two two people.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
There's two sons and no women. Who ringing King.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
A woman in Ohio got a side order with her
chicken fries at Burger King. The side order was several
buds of marijuana.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Some weed, she says.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
She posted a video, of course on TikTok and Jana
Bama is her name on TikTok and says, okay, went
to Burger King tonight.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
I need you guys to listen. Got my kids some
chicken fries. This bag came. If you look down there,
you can see some residue.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Got to start him early. She got her chicken fries.
Chicken fries with the side of marijuana. Mary Jane the weed.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
The video has more than a million views.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Yeah and the employee involved was fired. The burger king
itself didn't want to comment.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
It's become an extremely popular burger king though. In Hamilton, Ohio.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
Number one for number one, Ben I decided to look
out for number one. Are you the number one row?
Number one number?
Speaker 4 (34:37):
No, My gosh, this looks so painful. A worker in
Indonesia had to be rescued by a whole squad of
firefighters after getting her nose ring impossibly caught in a
rolling office chair. So it's like one of the chairs
we sit on here at KFI, and the picture of her,
(34:57):
she looks like she's in so much pain with the
nose caught in one of the sections of the chair.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
She apparently had been sticking her nose through the chair's
mesh frame and I'm you know, I'd like to know
a little bit more about what, you know, prompted her
to do that. But then she tried to get up,
her nose ring was caught in the chair.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
And you literally see an image of her being wheeled out.
So she's sitting backwards in the chair, of course, with
her nose ring caught in the mesh and she's being
wheeled out with emergency crews I mean they.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Tried to, you know, other employees there tried to help her,
but they couldn't and so they literally did, you know,
as Marla saying, they had to rescue her. And this
rescue crew wheels her out with her nose rings still
locked in the chair.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
Fortunately no sign was required, I hope not. I finally
managed to free the woman from her furniture prison with
pliers after an excruciating ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
I would have thought it took longer, but she's okay.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Some surveillance video shows laughter on the part of a
couple of the first responders as well.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
It was a bizarre situation. At minimum, it's been fun.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Mark, you've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
