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):
You need to get your ass to work. Whatever that
was yesterday? That happened again?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yeah, yes, Sissy, Well, welcome back, Thank you again.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
A long day that.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Was not I listened to a large chunk of the program,
and I enjoyed.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
That you already had to go through a root canal.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Well, I had to drive to it back from it.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I do enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
By the time I drove back, it was Mo Kelly's show.
Because I basically live there now at the dentist or.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I spent all day.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
When I was like checking out or whatever, They're like, oh,
did you see so and so I'm like, honey.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I saw everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Okay, okay, well, hey, good news is that there's going
to be a fun party on Sundays.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I know, I am excited the game.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Itself, like you've said, you know, and I don't think
a lot of people unless you're a die hard Eagles fan,
I don't even think. I mean, I know Chiefs fans
want to go for the three, but I don't think it's.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Funny because I've said, like, oh, I don't care. I
don't care. I heard you talking to Amy yesterday on
this show about it, and you're talking about how there's
different people, different vibes, different lanes of like some people
want to watch the whole game. Some people are like,
you know, maybe casually look at it. Some people want
to socialize. And everyone has different roles at a Super
Bowl party. Sure that they that they assume. And I
(01:24):
was thinking, and you and you put me in the
camp of wanting to watch the game, and for the
first time, I was like, I do want to watch
this game, like I do want to watch I do
miss football, like I have missed it a couple of weeks,
And I do want to watch this game. I'm not
going to have to watch every down, but I am
interested to see what happens.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Okay, my wife had asked. Keanu's husband also had some
dental work done. Should we just put a blender on
the counter for people with dental.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Be able to eat anything?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Crunchy chips?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I can't eat chips.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I can't. You could eat chips. I'll bet you you
could find Well.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
They're very worried about this particular temporary crown so really, yeah,
so I really need to stick to the guidelines.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
You could have cheetahs, so I can.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Bring over jello oatmeal.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I have some.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I have some yogurt and some cottage cheese in awful
in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
If you kickstart a weight loss plan in the next
week or so, apple sauce, flew it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Apple sauce is delicious. I do like an apple sauce.
That's great.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I am most concerned on Sunday about how Peter's going
to handle this.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I think Peter's can be fine. Compared to your to Fergus.
Fergus was it was touch.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And go there.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Well, he was the kind of dog that would sit
in the corner and stare at you like, are you
really going to drink red wine on the couch? That
that was what would be going through his or he
would say, you wore those shoes to a party in public.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Don't people usually take off their shoes at your home.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
If they want. I don't care. And there's a dog.
I mean, it's not like you're going to be more
dirty than the dog, you think, And I don't think
I have a dirty house you're inviting.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I'm just but there.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Are people I think you and your husband kick off
your shoes right away.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, but it's not.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And I'm at home, but.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I get in my pjs. You're like, you don't mind.
I'm gonna go take a nap. I help myself to
the thirty second snooze. Do not go into that bathroom.
I've done that a couple. You're like, Hey, the fan
doesn't work. Okay, wait, I don't sound like that. The
food doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Anyway. Yeah, this will be the first time he's had
been around that many people at once, and I think
after the first I.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Memorry about your dog because he's not Fergus was not
a social being, so I felt like that was a
high stress situation for him.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
But he handled. I mean, he knew where to go,
he knew the pockets of the room where it would be.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Peter seems more up for anything.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
He's gonna be in people's faces. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
He's gonna be so tired, and I love it. That's
the best tired dog is a happy dog.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I mean, I don't want to overstress. That's how I.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Feel about humans. You got to wear yourself out, so
you're tired.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
At the end of the day.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Conway yesterday was talking about coming to the to our house.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And he's not really coming, is he.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Then I'm gonna have to change him as of yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
As of yesterday he said he was, and he was.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
He said on the air that we asked him to
bring pringles, which is not what happened. He offered to
bring pringles, and I'm not going to be like, no,
don't bring pringles. And he said something about where we live,
they don't sell pringles.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
That's funny. Who's he going to bring? Is he going
to bring a like Doug Steckler or Mark Thompson. He
always brings a friend. He might bring a couple, bring
some guys from the track Jimmy two Tones made.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
This is Tommy Thumb over here. All right.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
The whole Doge question, the whole thing about what Elon
Musk is doing.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
We talked about it yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
This team of young, very very bright men computer coders
and programmers who are going through and looking at what's
going on with these different government agencies.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I saw a screen grab from Fox News. Is it
true that one of their nicknames is big Balls? Yeah,
that's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
And there's a couple.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I mean, these are teenage early adolescent young men who
are now being trolled for stupid stuff that they've set.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
On the internet.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I meant, it ain't Kanye, but it's you know, stupid stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And is it just like the trans woman from Amelia.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I saw an alert today on the Telly right here
that she has suspended her oscar campaign.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
There, so I think what it is is she's not
actively going out and right, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Because she'll get crucified. Yeah, more there is that.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah yeah. Also a lot of super Bowl stuff coming up.
This is a fun store. This is a fun topic.
Is what smell represents La?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I saw this and I thought, what the hell are
you doing? La? Times? La Times is like what smell
reminds you of La? And the first thing was like
with steria, I'm like bowl s, but the real world,
I'm like, are you kidding me? So I thought it
would be fun for everybody to come up, well what
does La? What do you smell? And you're like, La,
(06:25):
I mean, I think we could have some real fun
with this. Leave us a talkback message on the iHeart app.
Just hit that button and send it to us. We'll
come back.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
We'll talk about what's going on Elon Musk's latest adventures.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty. Now.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Blake Lively is not invited to the super Bowl Suite
because apparently one of the lead texts was Blake Lively
saying to Justin Baldoni that she's Kalisi and that Ryan
Reynolds and Taylor Swift are her dragons. And Taylor heard
about that and was like, I'm not your dragon. These
people are thirty seven years old.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
PS.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
It's time for a chance for you to win one
thousand dollars. Here's how you picking it up.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Now your chance to win one thousand dollars. Just enter
this nationwide keyword on our website pay.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
That's pay.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Pay Enter it now at KFIAM six forty dot com,
slash cash Howard by Sweet James Accident Attorneys if you're
hurting an accident. Winning is everything called the winning Attorneys
at Sweet James one eight hundred nine million. That's one
eight hundred nine million or sweet James dot com.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Again, the keyword pay goes on the website.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Emails how we notify winners and we'll do it again
an hour from now.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's funny now that I say that, But they're thirty
seven years old. I think of thirty seven now as
still an adult, right, that's.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Adult, an adult for one.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
But I look at them when I think of them,
I think them of young women, not thirty seven. But
then vice versa. When I think of myself as twenty
two or whatever, I think of, thirty seven is old. Well,
thirty seven, my god, gross, very odd.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency is now pushing to
develop what they call a custom generative AI chatbot for
the US.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
General Services Administration. They're calling a GSA I.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
One of the goals of the initiative is to boost
the day to day productivity of about twelve thousand employees
under the General Services Administration.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That means cut people who are superfluous, superfluous, right just
to get rid of the fat. It's using AI to
cut jobs, and you can mask that with whatever fun
corporate speak you want. Analyzing swaths of contract and procurement
data is one way they put it. It's basically using
robots to cut people's jobs, and that is not going
(08:43):
to go overwhell and they're going to do that. Department
after department after department, the whole us AID mess, and
now the General Services Administration. This is just going to
be what happens with every single arm of the government.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And this is exactly the way businesses do.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
What this what Elon musks want wants government to do.
And he's been given free reign by the President obviously
to get into it and do this sort of stuff
to get after this. And we've said for a long
time that government should be run more like a business,
more with the customer in mind, the customer being taxpayers
(09:23):
around the world. I don't know if this is the
best way to do it, but it is a way
to do it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It sounds like.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Obviously, things like writing emails, generating images, executive orders, and
other stuff like this. The way that this is going
to be taken is that Elon Musk is imposing his
will on all of this.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I mean, it's it's different than that, it's deeper than that.
But we're still caught up in the early days of
this what do you want to call it, throwing everything
into a blender and seeing what comes out. He's he
is walking in with a sledgehammer and breaking things and
seeing what is left.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It was pump the brake's approach when it came to
the Biden administration. Chatbots like chat Gptgemini have been adopted
across corporate America for things like writing emails, generating images,
and things like that, but the guidance under the past
administration was generally instructing government staff to be cautious about
(10:22):
AI and using it. However, Trump is balls to the wall,
full steam ahead, pedal to the metal, ordering people to
strip away any barriers to the United States exerting global
AI dominance. So that is why Musk has run with
this green light, bringing aboard more AI tools. This is
(10:44):
according to Wired other media that this could be the
most chaotic upheaval of the federal bureaucracy in the modern
computer era.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I don't know if that's a negative thing that yet.
I think it's a little bit of both. I think
it can be both. I mean, you point your point
the other day, I thought was pretty well thought out.
There's thousands of government workers whose jobs are still necessary,
but they are probably working fearfully. They don't know what's coming.
(11:15):
They don't know if their job is on the chopping
block or not. We already saw some forty thousand plus
people take that buyout, which has now been at least
tabled until Monday last night, but of course was supposed
to be the deadline for people to decide if they're
going to take an eight month pay, eight month pay
and benefits payout and leave the federal workforce.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I don't hate the idea of AI being used to
come in and cut the fat. I also think though
it should be used in conjunction with input from people
who are inside these departments. People who are the rank
and file workers who know where the fat is, whether
it's middle management or otherwise. They know what is redundant
or unnecessary, and I think that their knowledge, especially people
(11:59):
who have been there a few decades, is valuable.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Well, at least some of that is happening. The new
Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson, says that some of the now
DOGE workers looking at what's going on in the Treasury
are Treasury Department employees, so at least they have some
experience with what exactly is going on. That's not all
of them, but there is at least somebody from within
the building who can help point to what's good and
(12:24):
what's bad.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I had this epiphany this morning when I'm watching and
reading about Kamala Harris and the Palisades. She's going to
run for governor and she's going to win. Because all
the California Democrats they've been quiet lately, haven't they. They've
been in the corner licking their wounds because they're still
so upset about Donald Trump being elected. Like that was
a big surprise. I mean, I'm not saying that you
(12:47):
shouldn't be upset. I be what you want to be,
live your life. However, I see her rising as like
the queen of the anti Trump movement. Like, well, the
the nation, those awful people, they chose Trump. But here
in California, we're going to make the right choice, and
we're going to ascend our queen to her throne, like
(13:08):
you know what I mean, Like she's going to be
the poster child of the anti Trump movement because she
was not picked, because Trump was picked over her in California,
the otherworldly, super righteous California of like we know better
than the entire country, and we are going to make.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Her our queen. That's exactly what's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
We have a fire email as well. I'm sorry, fire
mail I fire actual piece of mail that we'll read
to you.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Is it like on fire our typewriter?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
It's about fire.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
The best time of the day starts at nine am.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Going to Gary Elast said show, we should start the
show with that.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I might be a little lame on this. What is
the whole thing behind saying super Bowl? Why are we
covering up? Beats me? Super Bowl? Isn't it stupid?
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Big game?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Stupid?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
It's because it's a protected I work a whole bunch
and I'm not caught up here.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You go, The NFL owns the name, the trademark.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
The copyright, so we can't make money off of it.
Only the NFL because the NFL. I don't know if
you knew this, but the NFL is really hurting for money.
In fact, there's a go fundb page for the NFL
that you can donate to.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, if you need it. Listen, they make money.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
It's it's a term that they trademarked a long time ago,
which just prevents us from making money on it.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's why you notice.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Let's just say if there was a commercial where they
wanted to talk about the game, they have to say
the game or the Big Game, or the game on
Sunday or the big football game.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
You can't use the word super Bowl for us to make.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Money, stupid because we're not making money off of it. Also,
is there any that makes you hate the Super Bowl
more than Patrick Mahomes other than calling it the Big
Game seven hundred times?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Did you know?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Speaking of that, did you know that if the Chiefs
do three peat, one of the big winners is pat Riley.
Pat Riley trademarked the term three peat many many many
years ago, really when he was in charge of the
Lakers and they were three peating.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
What a great story, pat Riley.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
And I guess it may have been the idea of
either Byron Scott or Wes Matthews.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
They said this was eighty late eighties.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
He has reached an agreement Riley and Company Incorporated that
owns the trademark.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
They've come to an agreement with the NFL.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
But if the Chiefs win, and they end up being
the first NFL team to three peat, then they can
market Chiefs three peat, use the term on all of
the merchandise and everything.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
And pat Riley is going to be swimming in it.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I would love to hear the details of the financial.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
On that that.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I mean, I mean it dovetails nicely with the whole
super Bowl is a trademark name because three pete. Who
would have thought, I mean, well, I would have thought
to make money off of that in the late eighties.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Well, I thought about the forty nine Ers when they
went back to back and there was three peat was
all the talk.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
The follow But that would have been nineties, right, I
mean that right, and even the same era it would
have been pat Riley would have owned it already.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Then that's what the Lakers were doing.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
They were winning, winning, winning, I mean there were I
mean why not the Steelers? Why not? You know, I
mean there's a number of teams that could win it. Yeah,
that were I mean Charles, I haven't done a deep
dive on the commercials for the Super Bowl. And I
don't even know if kids these if people these days
wouldn't recognize Charles Haley if they saw him. But like,
he's the only one right now that has the three
(16:49):
peete in terms of three Super Bowl r you know,
the green.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
One from the forty nine Ers pre consecutive Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I think that Shandon should be given the responsibility of
clearing out the fat KFI and give her a bonus
of ten percent of all salaries that she cuts.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, how would you like that job?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
There's there.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I was going to make a really bad joke in
terms of the lack of fat here at KFI. But
we're down to a Karen Carpenter operation. Uh, somebody already
came in and cleared out not just the fat, but
the protein and the bones. It was just basically drums
of people.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Left running on power aid and amphetamines. Right now, Yes,
all right, the Kamala Harris story. When we come back.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Do you smell cigarettes? I said, maybe it's just the
burning in my mouth?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Is it still burning?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Maybe it's just the connorization that I smelled yesterday.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Did they hit a bone and something?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I smelled cigarettesmell cigarettes. We'll talk about Kamala Harris and
her tour of the Palisade yesterday.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
What is the telltale smell of LA?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I think if you're not from LA, and you assume
that LA is all of southern California, I might even
suggest it's the inside of pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Oh that that sweat stick a.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Little bit on a summer day where it's sweat and
everybody's sweat is now cooled off because the air conditioning
mixed with the chlorine chemically smell of the water. There's
something in there. There's just there's something in there.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
The writer in La Times, Maxwell william says, you know,
smell may be the most ignored of our five senses.
I disagree. I find it to be completely not ignored.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
At all.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
It's funny because the smell does bring back a lot
of memories that you strong.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
It's very strong.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Smell brings back the way that they put it, they
said the Aroma baking bread mate might bring you back
to your grandma's kitchen. Absolutely, smells bring you back to childhood.
They bring you back to moments in time. Like a
song can bring you back to a moment in time.
Smell does the same thing. And then it says. The
Times asked readers to share sense they consider synonymous with
Los Angeles, and their responses painted a vivid olfactory portrait
(19:24):
of the city. Okay, the first one, magnificent magnolias and
wistful hysteria.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Give me a break.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
There's there is a good You can leave us a
message and tell us what you think is your favorite smell.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
We'll get to Kamala Harris here in just a second, enhanted.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I love you guys.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
When I think of la I think of that smell
of like old urine, Like when you go into an
elevator and you know that someone has, you know, peede
in the corner, and it just smells like that old urine.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Kind of the same smell as event thanks bye.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You smell that in almost any I think San Francisco,
I think of urine because my mom took me forever
to the Ballet downtown and it always smelled of urine,
and she used to call it urine Town. We're here
in urine Town, and that was the eighties. Now it's
like a Now it's not urine. It's like the you know,
it's the bottom of a Johnny bucket, or urine was
(20:29):
the nice thing. Urine was a light. Now it's you know,
feces and foam.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Kamala Harris coming up.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Through the the greats boom. The feces gets phamy down
and then it comes up through the grates. People go
to the bathroom in the streets. Now it's not just Pete,
it's number two.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
No, you're not. You don't have to convince me. Kamala
Harris the day of the inauguration, the day that she
was she ended her job as vice president, came out
to Los Angeles. She got a home in Brentwood. She
went out and checked out, thanked some of the firefighters
in the Altadena area. Yesterday, she toured the fire damage
(21:15):
in the Palisades, met with local officials.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
It was her first visit to the Palisades.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
She's going to be the governor. I'll put money on
it right now.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
So she says, you can smell the smoke that was here,
thank you. You can feel the toxicity, frankly, of the environment.
You can feel the energy of all the folks. We
are still here on.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
The ground, oh, Clorazon. So here's okay.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
The one I wouldn't say the only, but a characteristic
of what we saw with Gavin Newsom a year ago
at this time was he was saying no, no, no,
I'm not running for president. I don't want to run
for president. I would never do that. Joe Biden is
my guy, et cetera. He doth protest too much. He
(21:57):
desperately wanted Democratic power officials to come to him and say,
please save this ticket. You're the only one with the
youth and the energy and the ideas to go up
against Donald Trump. He desperately wanted that, despite the fact
he said he didn't want that.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
This is Kamala Harris. I think playing that same game.
Oh I don't.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I don't want to run for governor. I just want
to be able to serve my community. I just want
to be able to live in Brentwood and go about being,
you know, the best neighbor that I can be, or
however she wants to do it, whatever terms she wants
to to say. You've got I mean, you could count
on one hand. You got Tony Thurman, you got Elani Cunilakus,
(22:41):
you got I think Betty Ye has thrown her head
into the ring.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
You got these people who have said that they're going
to be running.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Oh uh an, Tony Viragosa all going to run for
governor in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
If Kamala Harris walks into that room.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, they fold up their bags and they go home exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
And California can't wait to do it. They can't wait
to show Trump. Yeah, the rest of the country may
have gone your way, but here in California, we're choosing
the right candidate.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
And don't forget.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
And this, I think is a statistic that it's hard
to kind of wrap your head around.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
More Republicans voted.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
More people voted for Trump in California than in any
other state.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Now, granted, obviously it's a huge state.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
We have forty million people almost, so yes, you're but
just sheer number is going to have more Republicans. But
the number of people who voted for Trump in California
is pretty staggering.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I just want to say, not that anyone asked or
anyone's listening, but it's kind of like going to your
mother or father with a problem of a bully at school. Right,
let's call the bully Dave. I don't want to go
to school today. Dave's goin to make fun of me again.
Dave is going to be insufferable to deal with. I
(23:57):
don't worried about Dave, to which your parents should say,
don't worry about Dave. Live your life. How can you
make your life better? How can you have fun with
your friends today. Don't worry about day. Don't let Dave
take up any room in your space. Let Dave live
his life, you live yours, Right, That's what you would
say to your kid, right, That's what I want to
say to Democrats in California. Stop fighting that guy. Stop
(24:17):
electing people just to spite that guy. What can you
do to further your cause right now? Well, what can
you do to pick the next candidate who is the future,
who maybe the future, who can take on jd Vance
in four years?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Choose wisely?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Don't pick somebody just because it flies in the face
of the Trump presidency, because that's not helping your matter.
You're getting stuck in that same juvenile thinking that got
you into the hole that you're in right now in California.
It's just not the way to move forward. To act
out of spite.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Well, and you've said before, I mean that that's not
the fight that we in California need you to fight
right now.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
We need you to make sure that we're safe.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
We need you to make sure that the insurance companies
don't continue to screw us. We want to make sure
that we are protected from a natural disasters or that
we're just at the very least.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Ready when one takes place.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah, safety, road, roads, fire, fire, police, water.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
That was your other one was the water. Yeah, and
those are the things.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Stop stop it stop with that guy's a boogeyman and
he's going to take us down the wrong car. Hey,
get me to work on time. Make sure that my
house doesn't burn down when the earthquake hits. Let's be
ready to help each other out and just do that.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Do that?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Well, who's going to be worried about what bathroom you're
going into or if a man is a woman, I'm
going to be aware, right, Yes, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I like eucalyptus and safe.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I love eucalyptus in sage. I don't smell it enough
here though. When I think of eucalyptus, I think of
northern California.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
We're not going into a Yankee candle shop and saying
what's your favorite, it's what smell reminds you of California,
reminds you of.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Like sweet peonies.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show. You
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
You need to get your ass to work. Whatever that
was yesterday? That happened again?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yeah, yes, Sissy, Well, welcome back, Thank you again.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
A long day that.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Was not I listened to a large chunk of the program,
and I enjoyed.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
That you already had to go through a root canal.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Well, I had to drive to it back from it.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I do enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
By the time I drove back, it was Mo Kelly's show.
Because I basically live there now at the dentist or.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I spent all day.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
When I was like checking out or whatever, They're like, oh,
did you see so and so I'm like, honey.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I saw everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Okay, okay, well, hey, good news is that there's going
to be a fun party on Sundays.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I know, I am excited the game.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Itself, like you've said, you know, and I don't think
a lot of people unless you're a die hard Eagles fan,
I don't even think. I mean, I know Chiefs fans
want to go for the three, but I don't think it's.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Funny because I've said, like, oh, I don't care. I
don't care. I heard you talking to Amy yesterday on
this show about it, and you're talking about how there's
different people, different vibes, different lanes of like some people
want to watch the whole game. Some people are like,
you know, maybe casually look at it. Some people want
to socialize. And everyone has different roles at a Super
Bowl party. Sure that they that they assume. And I
(01:24):
was thinking, and you and you put me in the
camp of wanting to watch the game, and for the
first time, I was like, I do want to watch
this game, like I do want to watch I do
miss football, like I have missed it a couple of weeks,
And I do want to watch this game. I'm not
going to have to watch every down, but I am
interested to see what happens.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Okay, my wife had asked. Keanu's husband also had some
dental work done. Should we just put a blender on
the counter for people with dental.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Be able to eat anything?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Crunchy chips?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I can't eat chips.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I can't. You could eat chips. I'll bet you you
could find Well.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
They're very worried about this particular temporary crown so really, yeah,
so I really need to stick to the guidelines.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
You could have cheetahs, so I can.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Bring over jello oatmeal.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I have some.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I have some yogurt and some cottage cheese in awful
in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
If you kickstart a weight loss plan in the next
week or so, apple sauce, flew it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Apple sauce is delicious. I do like an apple sauce.
That's great.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I am most concerned on Sunday about how Peter's going
to handle this.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I think Peter's can be fine. Compared to your to Fergus.
Fergus was it was touch.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And go there.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Well, he was the kind of dog that would sit
in the corner and stare at you like, are you
really going to drink red wine on the couch? That
that was what would be going through his or he
would say, you wore those shoes to a party in public.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Don't people usually take off their shoes at your home.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
If they want. I don't care. And there's a dog.
I mean, it's not like you're going to be more
dirty than the dog, you think, And I don't think
I have a dirty house you're inviting.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I'm just but there.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Are people I think you and your husband kick off
your shoes right away.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, but it's not.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And I'm at home, but.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I get in my pjs. You're like, you don't mind.
I'm gonna go take a nap. I help myself to
the thirty second snooze. Do not go into that bathroom.
I've done that a couple. You're like, Hey, the fan
doesn't work. Okay, wait, I don't sound like that. The
food doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Anyway. Yeah, this will be the first time he's had
been around that many people at once, and I think
after the first I.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Memorry about your dog because he's not Fergus was not
a social being, so I felt like that was a
high stress situation for him.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
But he handled. I mean, he knew where to go,
he knew the pockets of the room where it would be.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Peter seems more up for anything.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
He's gonna be in people's faces. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
He's gonna be so tired, and I love it. That's
the best tired dog is a happy dog.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I mean, I don't want to overstress. That's how I.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Feel about humans. You got to wear yourself out, so
you're tired.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
At the end of the day.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Conway yesterday was talking about coming to the to our house.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And he's not really coming, is he.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Then I'm gonna have to change him as of yesterday.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
As of yesterday he said he was, and he was.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
He said on the air that we asked him to
bring pringles, which is not what happened. He offered to
bring pringles, and I'm not going to be like, no,
don't bring pringles. And he said something about where we live,
they don't sell pringles.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
That's funny. Who's he going to bring? Is he going
to bring a like Doug Steckler or Mark Thompson. He
always brings a friend. He might bring a couple, bring
some guys from the track Jimmy two Tones made.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
This is Tommy Thumb over here. All right.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
The whole Doge question, the whole thing about what Elon
Musk is doing.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
We talked about it yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
This team of young, very very bright men computer coders
and programmers who are going through and looking at what's
going on with these different government agencies.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I saw a screen grab from Fox News. Is it
true that one of their nicknames is big Balls? Yeah,
that's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
And there's a couple.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I mean, these are teenage early adolescent young men who
are now being trolled for stupid stuff that they've set.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
On the internet.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I meant, it ain't Kanye, but it's you know, stupid stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And is it just like the trans woman from Amelia.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I saw an alert today on the Telly right here
that she has suspended her oscar campaign.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
There, so I think what it is is she's not
actively going out and right, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Because she'll get crucified. Yeah, more there is that.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah yeah. Also a lot of super Bowl stuff coming up.
This is a fun store. This is a fun topic.
Is what smell represents La?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I saw this and I thought, what the hell are
you doing? La? Times? La Times is like what smell
reminds you of La? And the first thing was like
with steria, I'm like bowl s, but the real world,
I'm like, are you kidding me? So I thought it
would be fun for everybody to come up, well what
does La? What do you smell? And you're like, La,
(06:25):
I mean, I think we could have some real fun
with this. Leave us a talkback message on the iHeart app.
Just hit that button and send it to us. We'll
come back.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
We'll talk about what's going on Elon Musk's latest adventures.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty. Now.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Blake Lively is not invited to the super Bowl Suite
because apparently one of the lead texts was Blake Lively
saying to Justin Baldoni that she's Kalisi and that Ryan
Reynolds and Taylor Swift are her dragons. And Taylor heard
about that and was like, I'm not your dragon. These
people are thirty seven years old.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
PS.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
It's time for a chance for you to win one
thousand dollars. Here's how you picking it up.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Now your chance to win one thousand dollars. Just enter
this nationwide keyword on our website pay.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
That's pay.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Pay Enter it now at KFIAM six forty dot com,
slash cash Howard by Sweet James Accident Attorneys if you're
hurting an accident. Winning is everything called the winning Attorneys
at Sweet James one eight hundred nine million. That's one
eight hundred nine million or sweet James dot com.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Again, the keyword pay goes on the website.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Emails how we notify winners and we'll do it again
an hour from now.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's funny now that I say that, But they're thirty
seven years old. I think of thirty seven now as
still an adult, right, that's.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Adult, an adult for one.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
But I look at them when I think of them,
I think them of young women, not thirty seven. But
then vice versa. When I think of myself as twenty
two or whatever, I think of, thirty seven is old. Well,
thirty seven, my god, gross, very odd.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency is now pushing to
develop what they call a custom generative AI chatbot for
the US.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
General Services Administration. They're calling a GSA I.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
One of the goals of the initiative is to boost
the day to day productivity of about twelve thousand employees
under the General Services Administration.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That means cut people who are superfluous, superfluous, right just
to get rid of the fat. It's using AI to
cut jobs, and you can mask that with whatever fun
corporate speak you want. Analyzing swaths of contract and procurement
data is one way they put it. It's basically using
robots to cut people's jobs, and that is not going
(08:43):
to go overwhell and they're going to do that. Department
after department after department, the whole us AID mess, and
now the General Services Administration. This is just going to
be what happens with every single arm of the government.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And this is exactly the way businesses do.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
What this what Elon musks want wants government to do.
And he's been given free reign by the President obviously
to get into it and do this sort of stuff
to get after this. And we've said for a long
time that government should be run more like a business,
more with the customer in mind, the customer being taxpayers
(09:23):
around the world. I don't know if this is the
best way to do it, but it is a way
to do it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It sounds like.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Obviously, things like writing emails, generating images, executive orders, and
other stuff like this. The way that this is going
to be taken is that Elon Musk is imposing his
will on all of this.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I mean, it's it's different than that, it's deeper than that.
But we're still caught up in the early days of
this what do you want to call it, throwing everything
into a blender and seeing what comes out. He's he
is walking in with a sledgehammer and breaking things and
seeing what is left.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It was pump the brake's approach when it came to
the Biden administration. Chatbots like chat Gptgemini have been adopted
across corporate America for things like writing emails, generating images,
and things like that, but the guidance under the past
administration was generally instructing government staff to be cautious about
(10:22):
AI and using it. However, Trump is balls to the wall,
full steam ahead, pedal to the metal, ordering people to
strip away any barriers to the United States exerting global
AI dominance. So that is why Musk has run with
this green light, bringing aboard more AI tools. This is
(10:44):
according to Wired other media that this could be the
most chaotic upheaval of the federal bureaucracy in the modern
computer era.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I don't know if that's a negative thing that yet.
I think it's a little bit of both. I think
it can be both. I mean, you point your point
the other day, I thought was pretty well thought out.
There's thousands of government workers whose jobs are still necessary,
but they are probably working fearfully. They don't know what's coming.
(11:15):
They don't know if their job is on the chopping
block or not. We already saw some forty thousand plus
people take that buyout, which has now been at least
tabled until Monday last night, but of course was supposed
to be the deadline for people to decide if they're
going to take an eight month pay, eight month pay
and benefits payout and leave the federal workforce.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I don't hate the idea of AI being used to
come in and cut the fat. I also think though
it should be used in conjunction with input from people
who are inside these departments. People who are the rank
and file workers who know where the fat is, whether
it's middle management or otherwise. They know what is redundant
or unnecessary, and I think that their knowledge, especially people
(11:59):
who have been there a few decades, is valuable.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Well, at least some of that is happening. The new
Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson, says that some of the now
DOGE workers looking at what's going on in the Treasury
are Treasury Department employees, so at least they have some
experience with what exactly is going on. That's not all
of them, but there is at least somebody from within
the building who can help point to what's good and
(12:24):
what's bad.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I had this epiphany this morning when I'm watching and
reading about Kamala Harris and the Palisades. She's going to
run for governor and she's going to win. Because all
the California Democrats they've been quiet lately, haven't they. They've
been in the corner licking their wounds because they're still
so upset about Donald Trump being elected. Like that was
a big surprise. I mean, I'm not saying that you
(12:47):
shouldn't be upset. I be what you want to be,
live your life. However, I see her rising as like
the queen of the anti Trump movement. Like, well, the
the nation, those awful people, they chose Trump. But here
in California, we're going to make the right choice, and
we're going to ascend our queen to her throne, like
(13:08):
you know what I mean, Like she's going to be
the poster child of the anti Trump movement because she
was not picked, because Trump was picked over her in California,
the otherworldly, super righteous California of like we know better
than the entire country, and we are going to make.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Her our queen. That's exactly what's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
We have a fire email as well. I'm sorry, fire
mail I fire actual piece of mail that we'll read
to you.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Is it like on fire our typewriter?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
It's about fire.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
The best time of the day starts at nine am.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Going to Gary Elast said show, we should start the
show with that.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I might be a little lame on this. What is
the whole thing behind saying super Bowl? Why are we
covering up? Beats me? Super Bowl? Isn't it stupid?
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Big game?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Stupid?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
It's because it's a protected I work a whole bunch
and I'm not caught up here.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You go, The NFL owns the name, the trademark.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
The copyright, so we can't make money off of it.
Only the NFL because the NFL. I don't know if
you knew this, but the NFL is really hurting for money.
In fact, there's a go fundb page for the NFL
that you can donate to.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, if you need it. Listen, they make money.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
It's it's a term that they trademarked a long time ago,
which just prevents us from making money on it.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's why you notice.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Let's just say if there was a commercial where they
wanted to talk about the game, they have to say
the game or the Big Game, or the game on
Sunday or the big football game.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
You can't use the word super Bowl for us to make.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Money, stupid because we're not making money off of it. Also,
is there any that makes you hate the Super Bowl
more than Patrick Mahomes other than calling it the Big
Game seven hundred times?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Did you know?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Speaking of that, did you know that if the Chiefs
do three peat, one of the big winners is pat Riley.
Pat Riley trademarked the term three peat many many many
years ago, really when he was in charge of the
Lakers and they were three peating.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
What a great story, pat Riley.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
And I guess it may have been the idea of
either Byron Scott or Wes Matthews.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
They said this was eighty late eighties.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
He has reached an agreement Riley and Company Incorporated that
owns the trademark.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
They've come to an agreement with the NFL.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
But if the Chiefs win, and they end up being
the first NFL team to three peat, then they can
market Chiefs three peat, use the term on all of
the merchandise and everything.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
And pat Riley is going to be swimming in it.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I would love to hear the details of the financial.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
On that that.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
I mean, I mean it dovetails nicely with the whole
super Bowl is a trademark name because three pete. Who
would have thought, I mean, well, I would have thought
to make money off of that in the late eighties.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Well, I thought about the forty nine Ers when they
went back to back and there was three peat was
all the talk.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
The follow But that would have been nineties, right, I
mean that right, and even the same era it would
have been pat Riley would have owned it already.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Then that's what the Lakers were doing.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
They were winning, winning, winning, I mean there were I
mean why not the Steelers? Why not? You know, I
mean there's a number of teams that could win it. Yeah,
that were I mean Charles, I haven't done a deep
dive on the commercials for the Super Bowl. And I
don't even know if kids these if people these days
wouldn't recognize Charles Haley if they saw him. But like,
he's the only one right now that has the three
(16:49):
peete in terms of three Super Bowl r you know,
the green.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
One from the forty nine Ers pre consecutive Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I think that Shandon should be given the responsibility of
clearing out the fat KFI and give her a bonus
of ten percent of all salaries that she cuts.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, how would you like that job?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
There's there.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I was going to make a really bad joke in
terms of the lack of fat here at KFI. But
we're down to a Karen Carpenter operation. Uh, somebody already
came in and cleared out not just the fat, but
the protein and the bones. It was just basically drums
of people.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Left running on power aid and amphetamines. Right now, Yes,
all right, the Kamala Harris story. When we come back.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Do you smell cigarettes? I said, maybe it's just the
burning in my mouth?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Is it still burning?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Maybe it's just the connorization that I smelled yesterday.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Did they hit a bone and something?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I smelled cigarettesmell cigarettes. We'll talk about Kamala Harris and
her tour of the Palisade yesterday.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
What is the telltale smell of LA?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I think if you're not from LA, and you assume
that LA is all of southern California, I might even
suggest it's the inside of pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Oh that that sweat stick a.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Little bit on a summer day where it's sweat and
everybody's sweat is now cooled off because the air conditioning
mixed with the chlorine chemically smell of the water. There's
something in there. There's just there's something in there.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
The writer in La Times, Maxwell william says, you know,
smell may be the most ignored of our five senses.
I disagree. I find it to be completely not ignored.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
At all.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
It's funny because the smell does bring back a lot
of memories that you strong.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
It's very strong.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Smell brings back the way that they put it, they
said the Aroma baking bread mate might bring you back
to your grandma's kitchen. Absolutely, smells bring you back to childhood.
They bring you back to moments in time. Like a
song can bring you back to a moment in time.
Smell does the same thing. And then it says. The
Times asked readers to share sense they consider synonymous with
Los Angeles, and their responses painted a vivid olfactory portrait
(19:24):
of the city. Okay, the first one, magnificent magnolias and
wistful hysteria.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Give me a break.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
There's there is a good You can leave us a
message and tell us what you think is your favorite smell.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
We'll get to Kamala Harris here in just a second, enhanted.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I love you guys.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
When I think of la I think of that smell
of like old urine, Like when you go into an
elevator and you know that someone has, you know, peede
in the corner, and it just smells like that old urine.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Kind of the same smell as event thanks bye.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You smell that in almost any I think San Francisco,
I think of urine because my mom took me forever
to the Ballet downtown and it always smelled of urine,
and she used to call it urine Town. We're here
in urine Town, and that was the eighties. Now it's
like a Now it's not urine. It's like the you know,
it's the bottom of a Johnny bucket, or urine was
(20:29):
the nice thing. Urine was a light. Now it's you know,
feces and foam.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Kamala Harris coming up.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Through the the greats boom. The feces gets phamy down
and then it comes up through the grates. People go
to the bathroom in the streets. Now it's not just Pete,
it's number two.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
No, you're not. You don't have to convince me. Kamala
Harris the day of the inauguration, the day that she
was she ended her job as vice president, came out
to Los Angeles. She got a home in Brentwood. She
went out and checked out, thanked some of the firefighters
in the Altadena area. Yesterday, she toured the fire damage
(21:15):
in the Palisades, met with local officials.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
It was her first visit to the Palisades.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
She's going to be the governor. I'll put money on
it right now.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
So she says, you can smell the smoke that was here,
thank you. You can feel the toxicity, frankly, of the environment.
You can feel the energy of all the folks. We
are still here on.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
The ground, oh, Clorazon. So here's okay.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
The one I wouldn't say the only, but a characteristic
of what we saw with Gavin Newsom a year ago
at this time was he was saying no, no, no,
I'm not running for president. I don't want to run
for president. I would never do that. Joe Biden is
my guy, et cetera. He doth protest too much. He
(21:57):
desperately wanted Democratic power officials to come to him and say,
please save this ticket. You're the only one with the
youth and the energy and the ideas to go up
against Donald Trump. He desperately wanted that, despite the fact
he said he didn't want that.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
This is Kamala Harris. I think playing that same game.
Oh I don't.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I don't want to run for governor. I just want
to be able to serve my community. I just want
to be able to live in Brentwood and go about being,
you know, the best neighbor that I can be, or
however she wants to do it, whatever terms she wants
to to say. You've got I mean, you could count
on one hand. You got Tony Thurman, you got Elani Cunilakus,
(22:41):
you got I think Betty Ye has thrown her head
into the ring.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
You got these people who have said that they're going
to be running.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Oh uh an, Tony Viragosa all going to run for
governor in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
If Kamala Harris walks into that room.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, they fold up their bags and they go home exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
And California can't wait to do it. They can't wait
to show Trump. Yeah, the rest of the country may
have gone your way, but here in California, we're choosing
the right candidate.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
And don't forget.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
And this, I think is a statistic that it's hard
to kind of wrap your head around.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
More Republicans voted.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
More people voted for Trump in California than in any
other state.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Now, granted, obviously it's a huge state.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
We have forty million people almost, so yes, you're but
just sheer number is going to have more Republicans. But
the number of people who voted for Trump in California
is pretty staggering.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I just want to say, not that anyone asked or
anyone's listening, but it's kind of like going to your
mother or father with a problem of a bully at school. Right,
let's call the bully Dave. I don't want to go
to school today. Dave's goin to make fun of me again.
Dave is going to be insufferable to deal with. I
(23:57):
don't worried about Dave, to which your parents should say,
don't worry about Dave. Live your life. How can you
make your life better? How can you have fun with
your friends today. Don't worry about day. Don't let Dave
take up any room in your space. Let Dave live
his life, you live yours, Right, That's what you would
say to your kid, right, That's what I want to
say to Democrats in California. Stop fighting that guy. Stop
(24:17):
electing people just to spite that guy. What can you
do to further your cause right now? Well, what can
you do to pick the next candidate who is the future,
who maybe the future, who can take on jd Vance
in four years?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Choose wisely?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Don't pick somebody just because it flies in the face
of the Trump presidency, because that's not helping your matter.
You're getting stuck in that same juvenile thinking that got
you into the hole that you're in right now in California.
It's just not the way to move forward. To act
out of spite.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Well, and you've said before, I mean that that's not
the fight that we in California need you to fight
right now.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
We need you to make sure that we're safe.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
We need you to make sure that the insurance companies
don't continue to screw us. We want to make sure
that we are protected from a natural disasters or that
we're just at the very least.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Ready when one takes place.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah, safety, road, roads, fire, fire, police, water.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
That was your other one was the water. Yeah, and
those are the things.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Stop stop it stop with that guy's a boogeyman and
he's going to take us down the wrong car. Hey,
get me to work on time. Make sure that my
house doesn't burn down when the earthquake hits. Let's be
ready to help each other out and just do that.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Do that?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Well, who's going to be worried about what bathroom you're
going into or if a man is a woman, I'm
going to be aware, right, Yes, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I like eucalyptus and safe.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I love eucalyptus in sage. I don't smell it enough
here though. When I think of eucalyptus, I think of
northern California.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
We're not going into a Yankee candle shop and saying
what's your favorite, it's what smell reminds you of California,
reminds you of.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Like sweet peonies.
