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. The fire captain that was murdered
by her two year old marriage. The wife wife off
two years right, just a two year old marriage there,
and Ei, there's some red flags when you marry somebody
(00:22):
who I don't know did a substantial time for stabbing
and killing their husband years prior. You just knew the
details of this were going to be heinous, and they are.
We'll get into it coming up next.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, Francis is sitting upright.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
He's receiving therapy for his double pneumonia while he is
still in critical condition. The Vatican says they're going to
have some more information about the results of a CT
scan that was taken last night to talk about his
complex lung infection, but they did say that there appears
to be mild renal failure that he is also dealing with. Again,
this is a kind of a rehash of something that
(00:56):
had happened over that they were reporting at least over
the weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Coming up in.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Swamp Watch in about an hour from now. Have you
noticed that huge bruise on Trump's hand. Now the administration
is saying where that bruise came from, we'll get into that.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
His hands, by the way, were under the desk this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I saw the picture of the bruise on his right hand,
the back of his right hand, and I was looking
specifically for it during this cabinet meeting earlier today. But
he kept his hands under the desk most of the time,
So I don't know if that was intentional or was.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Just kind of what he did.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
La Mayor Karen Bass fires LA fire chief Kristen Crowley
last week basically lays at her feet the fiasco that
resulted in the Palisades fire. Although it's not the fire
department's fault, it was a mother nature's fault in great degree,
and a lot of people are saying that this is
(01:53):
a pretty bad idea. For example, City council Member Monica Rodriguez.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It requires the appeal for her to first sorry.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
She says that she, as one of the city council members,
would love to have Kristen Crowley reinstated, but the city
charter requires her to go through and appeal the firing
before the city council can take it up.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
It requires the appeal for her to first begin with
the appeal and not at that point, I think it
would be important for colleagues to hear all of the.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Cause.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Now she has at least one compatriot there on the
City council, council member Tracy Park, who by the way,
represents Pacific Palisades for the city Council.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
This was a decision that was premature and unfortunately now
has created more political division at a time when we
need to be focusing on recovery in the polaceas.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
She has zero friends in city hall right now, does
Karen Bass?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Well, you can't turn against labor, can you. It's a
very dangerous thing to do in a city like Los
Angeles or or Chicago. When you go against a massive
labor organization like the LA Fire Union or the schools,
the teachers, you know what I mean, You're gonna make
(03:12):
a lot of enemies right away, especially when you're saving face.
If she came out, like we've said numerous times and
just owned it right away, just said you know what,
I screwed up, we'd be a lot less.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
More forgiving.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
We would be more forgiving.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Vulnerability goes a really long way with people when you
can come out and say I screwed up.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I shouldn't have gone on that trip.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I should not have made those cuts without getting more
information from the fire department and actually seeing what those
would mean. If you take ownership and you're vulnerable, that
goes a long way for people Karen Bass does. She
may have a vulnerable bone in her body somewhere, but
she would never reveal it. And I think that's going
(04:00):
to be the Achilles heel here.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
She is going to.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Not gain back a lot of these people that she's
turned off. And for someone like you've mentioned, who has
reached such the high echelons of California politics over the
years in Sacramento and here, it's kind of odd to
me that she would make this unforced error in not
only getting rid of the fire chief, but in letting
(04:26):
all the time go by ever since the fire chief came.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Not having the control over.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
The fire chief in the first place, before the fire
chief goes out and says the city failed us, not
having that control is an error in itself. Even if
Karen Bass is in Africa or what have you, not
having the control over your fire chief is a problem.
It's a problem behind closed doors but there it is.
And then the fire chief coming out and doing that
(04:52):
and laying you out, and you coming out and saying,
you know what, we had a meeting, we're lock step together,
We're going to figure it all out, and just it
seems so disingenuous to all of us, Like we know phonies.
And that's why Gavin Newsom bothers me he is such
a phony. But like she came out and appeared so
phony when she said that, and then all this time
(05:12):
goes by what three weeks, four weeks, whatever it has
been before she axes her.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Of course the fingers are going to start being pointed
at Karen Bass.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I mean we've talked, however, many times about the inability
of politicians once they reach a certain level to accept
responsibility for anything that they perceive that as weakness. If
she were to come out and say, not only did
I blow it, I shouldn't have gone I shouldn't blame
(05:44):
the fire chief for not getting on the horn and
calling me and telling me something that everybody else in
the city was talking about in the windstorm that was
about to happen. I should have been locked arms with
the fire chief and said I completely understand now why
you were tell telling me that you needed to not
have department wide cuts in the city's budget, and how
(06:05):
in November when you were writing memos to the city
Council about the necessity of refunding the La Fire Department,
I should have paid attention.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Politicians simply cannot do that.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And I don't know if it's simply if it's because
they believe doing that would be the death knell of
their political career and then they got to go get
a real job or something.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
It's one thing if there's liability, and no one is
going to say no one is going to say that
there's a case if you lost your home, and then
you can go sue the mayor after she comes out
and says I screwed up.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
That's not going to fly.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
But there's certainly an argument that you don't want to
admit fault if it opens you up legally for liability.
I understand that when lawyers get in the rooms, and
when you get to be at this level of politics.
You've been in those rooms, right, and you've heard those
lawyers say say nothing, admit to nothing, nothing, nothing, And
you don't remember, I don't recall nothing.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You know nothing.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And I guess when you're hit over the head with
that for so many years and so many of those meetings,
that it becomes part of who you are intrinsically of
how you speak. But we as people, as voters, as
real people, once in a while need to hear these
politicians come out and say I screwed up and I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Because that goes a long way.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, and that, like you said, has evaporated from all
discourse when it comes to someone standing behind a podium.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
One of the more high profile versions of that was
when Kamala Harris went on the View and they asked her,
is there anything that you think could have been better
or that she disagreed with Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
She's like, nah, I don't think it's okay. It's human.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It's completely normal to have something that you regret a.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Bad candidate, like I have PTSD from, like just trying
to shine that massive mistake of a candidate, you know,
like coming in here and like try And I wanted
to like her so much.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I did. I wanted to like her so much. And
she was awful. She was an awful speaker. She was awful, awfully.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Unprepared when she would be trotted out for disasters. That
view appearance was awful. The interviews were all. It was
all awful. It was all looking back, it's more awful
than it.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Was in real time.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Did you finish that apple yet?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Oh? That apple stood no chance.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Poor Jacob and the break had to hear me eat
that applehrying. Oh, he was like, this is disgusting. I'm like,
I'm sorry, Jacob, it was bad.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
We will get into bumper stickers.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
A bit of a renaissance when it comes to bumper stickers.
They have made a comeback and they are a little
bit more esoteric than we remember them. I feel like
they were always a little bit off beat.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I only remember ever, in all of my days, with
all of the cars and my family's ever owned, I
only remember one bumper sticker.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
My parents would never have a bumper sticker. It would
never be a thing. My husband's mother was big into
bumper stickers a lot about She was very much into
Yellowstone and saving the Buffalo, so a lot of them
(09:19):
were Buffalo themed. Okay, but you know, it's a way
of personally letting people know.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Who you are, you know, as you drive down the road.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I can't think of something I would want less than
having people know my personality on my car, Like, I
don't want It's enough to know that any part of
my personality is out there. I don't need to emblazon
my vehicle with with those things.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Just right, Like, yeah, just roll down your window and
start yelling at people. That's probably a better way to
show your personality. Well that's hurtful.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No, No, I was just saying it does the same.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I don't yell at people.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Right, No, you would never.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Like your your bumper stickers would be like giants.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I hate women. Are you a woman? Why are you
even driving right now?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Who gave you for a mission to be on the road?
I bet you vote too. I think I summed you
up right there.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Okay, yeled it pretty much pretty much nailed it.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Uh So this this murder story is just insane. CalFire
captain that we know was found stabbed to death in
her home and the details of motivation, uh, just insane.
This CalFire captain was apparently killed by Yulanda Morodi and
(10:54):
Rebecca Morodi. The fire captain was forty nine years old.
She helped even she was on the line of the
eaten fire last month, found stabbed to death at her
house in Ramona. She is Yolanda is the murderer suspect.
The murder suspect currently at large. They're asking for help
finding her. Rebecca's mother had called nine one one saying
(11:15):
her daughter had been stabbed at their home. Detectives founder
with stab wounds to her neck, chest, and abdomen.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Apparently many many stab wounds, the.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Kind of number that makes you believe that this was
not just an well one off, that it was in
fact a very passion fueled.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Murder.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
So detectives arrived to find Rebecca with stab wounds to
her neck, her chest, her abdomen. They tried to save
her life, but it was it was just not possible
with all of the damage. Now, the mother, Rebecca's mother
told the detectives that her daughter had told Yolanda a
(11:58):
week ago she was ending the marriage. And now there's
home security video where you can see Rebecca running for
her life, running from Yolanda, and you can hear her
in the video saying, Yolanda, please, I don't want to die.
In the video, it's already been bloodied. She's got blood
(12:21):
on her back. Yolanda is seen in the video as well.
She's got blood on her arms and she screams back,
you should have thought of that before, while holding a
knife standing over Rebecca.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
That same video goes on to show Yolanda then gathering
a bunch of pets and luggage and loading them into
the suv she was driving away. Apparently Department of Homeland
Security I'm assuming probably a license plate camera caught her
entering Mexico.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
They still haven't found her, by the way.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, So, according to the arrest warrant for end of
Yolanda's called detectives showing them a message from Yolanda the
day that Rebecca was stabbed and killed, the day that
Yolanda stabbed and killed Rebecca, saying this, this is what
Yolanda wrote to her friend. Becky came home, told me
(13:16):
she was leaving me. She met someone else. All the
messages were lies. We had a big fight and I
hurt her. I'm sorry. Like we mentioned these two, Rebecca
and Yolanda were married for just over two years. They
shared the same address. And this is a woman, Yolanda,
who was sentenced twenty years ago to eleven years in
(13:39):
prison because she stabbed and killed her husband. She was
hit with or she was convicted of. She pleaded guilty
to voluntary manslaughter.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
That was a deal.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You don't stab and kill someone without thinking about it first.
That doesn't just happen. But unless you're in a domestic
violence self defense situe even then. But yeah, she killed
her husband, James Ulzzzak.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Jenna Zach.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
And she served time from twenty four till twenty thirteen
for that. Got out, swindled this fire chief into a romance,
married her, and then when Yolanda's tricks were up, Rebecca's like,
I'm leaving you. I mean that that's rough too. I
mean I wonder when Yolanda flipped the switch, right, Like
(14:31):
what did she do to get Rebecca to marry her.
Rebecca's a fire Chief's got that sweet pension, stable job.
Probably she was what forty seven at the time that
they got married, so mid forties. The dating pool is shallow.
It's not good out there. You meet this woman pretty,
she's into you. You think you've got this second chance
(14:52):
or what have you or this late later in life
love story, and then you know, Yolanda acted one way
and then flipped switch, and two years go by into
the marriage and something happened, Rebecca's had the strength to
get out of it, and you'll want to stab her
to death to avoid that.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I mean. Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Coming up in about an hour, Justin Worsham, host of
The Dad podcast, will join us. We'll be talking about
your baby's name. Can your baby's name predict their financial success?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
How ridiculous is that?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, anyway, we'll get into the research behind that. Also newstuff.
Do have a favorite child? Obviously?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Wait a minute, come on, you do you say that
because you're the favorite?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
No? Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Good Lord?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Absolutely not. But I think that they do.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
And I think that the child can change from time
to time, Like sometimes someone's your favorite and then the
next day the other kids your favorite.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Maybe it depends, It depends.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I think it comes down to if you're a person
who likes to name things as your favorite, right, like
I I love chocolate ice cream. It is my favorite,
as opposed to someone who's just like I don't love.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
All ice cream.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I like chocolate ice cream, right, It's good. Also, a
little bit later in the show, what You're watch on Wednesday?
So you can leave us a talkback message and let
us know what it is that you are watching.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Do you think you were the favorite child.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I was told by my parents repeatedly that I was
the favorite child.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Really, yes, there's.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
A whole thing about whether or not parents should tell
their kids if they're the favorite child or not.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Either too well, who cares?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I mean, if you're so, I don't know, and your
point of it can change. You know, day to day
is important and when I actually there were a couple
of people last week we were talking about it, and
they said, it's really route. It's really painful for someone
to tell a child that they're the favorite, because then
(16:53):
that sets them up. And if the other siblings find
out for some reason that they're not the favorite, then
do they.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Feel Oh, I would much rather be the non favorite.
There's too much to live up to. If you're the favorite,
you know, it's too much pressure. I'd rather just be
the detritus of the family. Did your sisters know that
you were the favorite?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Well, they never told.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
My parents never told me that I was the favorite
in front of them.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Is there a chance your parents told each child that
they were the favorite?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Highly likely yes, because that's how my parents would have run.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
They wouldn't want anybody to feel bad.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
La County DA's office has announced a twenty six count
indictment surrender centered around this huge drug smuggling operation in
the Santa Clarita Valley Jail facility that's up there, of course,
the North County Correctional Facility. It extended to Men's Central
Jail in downtown LA and they centered around a guy
(17:51):
that was identified as a leader in the drug trade
within the jails.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, whoa whoa, there's a drug
trade in La County jails.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, Holy hell.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
For example, there were people who were told to send
the proceeds of any drug sales to the homie from Rockwood,
who was one above this character. Five days later, an
unidentified co conspirator housed at North County Correctional Facility reported
to another one that the co conspirator, Scrappy, reported that
Christina had picked it up yesterday. All of this coded
(18:31):
language used, but the communications they said were made over
the inmate telephone monitoring system, which obviously are recorded by
the Sheriff's Department.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
It's not really coded language. I mean, it's not a code.
To people who are friends with these people, It's not
like they're using these code These are just nicknames.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Right, Well, the names, yes, but when you're talking specifically
about the drugs, they would use the words white Jordan's
to talk about methamphetamine and black Jordan's to talk about heroin.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well, you're not going to put your drugs plainly, well,
of course, right what would what do you call your drugs?
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Skittles and uh starburst Starburst.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
The big deal though, is that one sheriff's deputy was
caught up in all of them. No Internal Criminal Investigation Bureau.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Arrested journey deputy in La County.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Arrest did a thirty nine year old deputy worked at
pitch Us Detention Centers.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Guy from Lancaster.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
So I think it's funny that Nathan Hawkman Man. You
got to hand it to him. He has really used
this office every single day since he's gotten it as
District Attorney. I mean, good for him. I mean we
in La County have had lawlessness for that whole Gascone
mess that we had to live through. Nathan Hawkman comes out,
(19:59):
he's a let did and every single day since he's
been elected, he's been out in front of everything. He's
been visible, he's been on camera. He's on the news
every morning, every evening because of it, he seems he's
giving us the feeling that he is on top of everything.
I mean, talk about the broken windows theory. Cracking down
(20:19):
on the drug trade in La County jails like that
wouldn't even be something that most das would even consider touching, because,
like I've been trying to sarcastically, sarcastically point out, of
course there's drugs in the jails. Of course, deputies are involved.
Since the beginning of jails, the onset of any sort
of law and order, this has been going on.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
It's just what happens.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
But the fact that he's paying attention to the littlest
of things, or the things that are not really on
the top of mind of people sitting around their dinner
table shows that he's really invested into cleaning up La County.
And I just I'm curious is to see where he
goes next once the governor's race is twenty six yep. Okay,
(21:01):
so it's probably too soon for that, but he's definitely
got his eyes on something bigger.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Because maybe not, maybe he's just like.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
This hyper focused guy who goes balls to the wall
with every job he does. But wow, the visibility he
has really used this office.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
You know you talk.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Let's just put it next to like Kamala Harris's vice president,
what you can do. You can do as much or
as little in whatever job you have right or a
lot of jobs, as much or as little as you want.
And he has done as much as possible. Conversely, Kamala
Harris did pretty much as little as possible as vice president.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I have a friend in the DA's office who said
the beautiful line that will be repeated over and over again,
which is crime is illegal again in La County.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Ah, bumper stickers. I feel like this was a seventies
and eighties thing, but maybe that's just because.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
I don't know when did they become popular. You think
you know.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
What's funny is it was like the forties?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Oh really?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Interesting, which is weird because I don't know how. I
don't even get how people would adorn their cars with.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I guess it.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
It happens eventually, once you have a piece of you know,
normal everyday life that becomes even more normalized. You try
to make it unique somehow. But the idea that you
would use a bumper sticker to express your desire for
a political candidate, or I don't know, to be funny
or something like that.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I just well it not to be a pooh poor,
but be a please away. You put like a Kemp
that's all music. You put like a Kemp bumper sticker
on the back of your car. Do you think I'm
gonna see that sticker and then vote for Kemp? It's
quite a pull, right, I was trying to pick something
not current, just to not offend anybody something a little bit,
(22:53):
you know, Like, do you really think I'm gonna I'm
gonna look at your co Exist bumper sticker and be like,
you're right, I should coexist with everyone. I shouldn't get
mad at that guy that just cut me off. I
should co exist with him. Sometimes when I see a
Coexist sticker after someone's cut me off.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Like that, just want to I just want to run
into that car, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I mean, I think that sometimes it can have the
opposite effect.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I also think it's not necessarily for you to convince
someone else. It's for you to find someone who agrees
with you, but.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Who cares you're driving from to and fro, you're driving
from A to B.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Who you're trying to find you're going to.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Work well, And that's a good point. Is what kind
of interaction are you looking for? Are you looking for
somebody to pull up beside you and like.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Thumbs up on your sticker back there?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I like I also like carrots and my other my
copilot is dog.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
There's somebody who works where we work, and it's a
car that we walk by it like that, Okay.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
From time to time. I don't know if you've ever
noticed it.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I have.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
And this person bumper is littered with bumper stickers.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I'm sure they're delightful.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
One of the stickers says something like, I break for squirrels.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Oh yeah, I don't know whose car that is.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I don't know either, but it's one thing to have
the thought I break for squirrel like I like squirrels, Right,
that's your first thought.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I like squirrels or cool little guys yay.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
And then another thought is if you see a squirrel
in the middle of the road, you're gonna break for it.
You don't want to hurt the little guy. And then
there's another to think, this is part of my identity.
I'm going to get a sticker and put it on
my car. It's like blazoning your car with your minor
squirrel thought.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
But by being too awful about that, you're being too
poo pooy.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Okay, because I think there are things that you what's
the difference between that between a bumper sticker and wearing
a T shirt with either a funny saying I changed
my T.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Shirt the next day. I wear that shirt one day. Yeah,
but why do you wear a shirt that it's got
a forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Logo on it?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Because I like the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, but you don't stop liking the forty I mean,
actually this season probably did, but you don't stop it.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
I like to show solid You're right.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I like to show solidarity with the team that I enjoy.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I like to I feel like it's a support thing.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
It's a way of showing your support for a team,
or you know, if it's your kids, your.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Kids sports T shirts.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Or whatever, like you're supporting that program, were your kid's
Honor Roll, your kid is an honorable member at the thing.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I love those.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I love my kids. I love the kid as on
the Honor Roll or the merrit Roll or what have you.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I love those.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I think you should. I think people should brag about
their kids all day, all day. That never bothers me.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
But the squirrel thing.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I I also like the stickers that were like my
kid could beat up your honorable student. That was a
fun phase in humanity. Those were fun too. But I mean,
whatever your kid's gift is, if your kid's gift is
on a roll, if your kid's gift is braun, I
support all those things. But I mean, I guess it's
just you know, it is for it to live and
(26:09):
let live, right, Like, if you're into the squirrel stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Fine, I had one bumper sticker, like I said, and
it was I refuse to have a battle of wits
with an unarmed person. I didn't put it on my car.
I think my sister. I think my older sister did.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
And look at you on your horse.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
No, no, I didn't understand it. I didn't get it.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
It was like.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Until I was probably until we sold that car. I
don't think I actually understood what that bumper sticker meant.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Probably because you didn't pay attention to it.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
No, I read it over and over again. I just
didn't get it.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
How did you not get it?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I was a dummy, That's how I didn't get it.
You must know.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Which is going to be my La Times article. It's
hard to drive anywhere in La right now without seeing
an irreverent bumper sticker. In my own neighborhood of Echo Park,
they write, there's this one. My other car is a
spirit Halloween. Here's another one. Let me merge. My dad
(27:12):
is dead. Oh, here's another one. Keep honking. That's it,
Just keep honking, keep honking. I'm sitting in my car
crying to the Cranberries nineteen ninety three hit single Linger.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Again. I think it's people trying to find I don't know.
I don't know what they're trying to find.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Here's the one.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Never forget happiness like nine to eleven is an inside job.
Good lord, keep honking. I'm listening to the Indigo Girls. Lord,
this article enough is enough to get me to move.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Yeah, or at least go rip off the Indigo Girls.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I love the Indigo Girls until people start talking about
how much they love the Indigo Girls.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Okay, now, you're just trying to sound like you're the
hipster without being a hipster.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
No, that's not hipster.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That's just people who have to talk about it. It's
kind of like MPR. I like listening to MPR stories
and podcasts, but when people start saying I heard it
on MPR, I just I turn off my mind immediately.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
We'll do a swamp watch when we come back. I
get it, Gary and Shannon. We'll continue right after this.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
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 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. The fire captain that was murdered
by her two year old marriage. The wife wife off
two years right, just a two year old marriage there,
and Ei, there's some red flags when you marry somebody
(00:22):
who I don't know did a substantial time for stabbing
and killing their husband years prior. You just knew the
details of this were going to be heinous, and they are.
We'll get into it coming up next.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, Francis is sitting upright.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
He's receiving therapy for his double pneumonia while he is
still in critical condition. The Vatican says they're going to
have some more information about the results of a CT
scan that was taken last night to talk about his
complex lung infection, but they did say that there appears
to be mild renal failure that he is also dealing with. Again,
this is a kind of a rehash of something that
(00:56):
had happened over that they were reporting at least over
the weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Coming up in.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Swamp Watch in about an hour from now. Have you
noticed that huge bruise on Trump's hand. Now the administration
is saying where that bruise came from, we'll get into that.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
His hands, by the way, were under the desk this morning.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I saw the picture of the bruise on his right hand,
the back of his right hand, and I was looking
specifically for it during this cabinet meeting earlier today. But
he kept his hands under the desk most of the time,
So I don't know if that was intentional or was.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Just kind of what he did.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
La Mayor Karen Bass fires LA fire chief Kristen Crowley
last week basically lays at her feet the fiasco that
resulted in the Palisades fire. Although it's not the fire
department's fault, it was a mother nature's fault in great degree,
and a lot of people are saying that this is
(01:53):
a pretty bad idea. For example, City council Member Monica Rodriguez.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It requires the appeal for her to first sorry.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
She says that she, as one of the city council members,
would love to have Kristen Crowley reinstated, but the city
charter requires her to go through and appeal the firing
before the city council can take it up.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
It requires the appeal for her to first begin with
the appeal and not at that point, I think it
would be important for colleagues to hear all of the.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Cause.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Now she has at least one compatriot there on the
City council, council member Tracy Park, who by the way,
represents Pacific Palisades for the city Council.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
This was a decision that was premature and unfortunately now
has created more political division at a time when we
need to be focusing on recovery in the polaceas.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
She has zero friends in city hall right now, does
Karen Bass?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Well, you can't turn against labor, can you. It's a
very dangerous thing to do in a city like Los
Angeles or or Chicago. When you go against a massive
labor organization like the LA Fire Union or the schools,
the teachers, you know what I mean, You're gonna make
(03:12):
a lot of enemies right away, especially when you're saving face.
If she came out, like we've said numerous times and
just owned it right away, just said you know what,
I screwed up, we'd be a lot less.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
More forgiving.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
We would be more forgiving.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Vulnerability goes a really long way with people when you
can come out and say I screwed up.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I shouldn't have gone on that trip.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I should not have made those cuts without getting more
information from the fire department and actually seeing what those
would mean. If you take ownership and you're vulnerable, that
goes a long way for people Karen Bass does. She
may have a vulnerable bone in her body somewhere, but
she would never reveal it. And I think that's going
(04:00):
to be the Achilles heel here.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
She is going to.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Not gain back a lot of these people that she's
turned off. And for someone like you've mentioned, who has
reached such the high echelons of California politics over the
years in Sacramento and here, it's kind of odd to
me that she would make this unforced error in not
only getting rid of the fire chief, but in letting
(04:26):
all the time go by ever since the fire chief came.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Not having the control over.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
The fire chief in the first place, before the fire
chief goes out and says the city failed us, not
having that control is an error in itself. Even if
Karen Bass is in Africa or what have you, not
having the control over your fire chief is a problem.
It's a problem behind closed doors but there it is.
And then the fire chief coming out and doing that
(04:52):
and laying you out, and you coming out and saying,
you know what, we had a meeting, we're lock step together,
We're going to figure it all out, and just it
seems so disingenuous to all of us, Like we know phonies.
And that's why Gavin Newsom bothers me he is such
a phony. But like she came out and appeared so
phony when she said that, and then all this time
(05:12):
goes by what three weeks, four weeks, whatever it has
been before she axes her.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Of course the fingers are going to start being pointed
at Karen Bass.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I mean we've talked, however, many times about the inability
of politicians once they reach a certain level to accept
responsibility for anything that they perceive that as weakness. If
she were to come out and say, not only did
I blow it, I shouldn't have gone I shouldn't blame
(05:44):
the fire chief for not getting on the horn and
calling me and telling me something that everybody else in
the city was talking about in the windstorm that was
about to happen. I should have been locked arms with
the fire chief and said I completely understand now why
you were tell telling me that you needed to not
have department wide cuts in the city's budget, and how
(06:05):
in November when you were writing memos to the city
Council about the necessity of refunding the La Fire Department,
I should have paid attention.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Politicians simply cannot do that.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And I don't know if it's simply if it's because
they believe doing that would be the death knell of
their political career and then they got to go get
a real job or something.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
It's one thing if there's liability, and no one is
going to say no one is going to say that
there's a case if you lost your home, and then
you can go sue the mayor after she comes out
and says I screwed up.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
That's not going to fly.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
But there's certainly an argument that you don't want to
admit fault if it opens you up legally for liability.
I understand that when lawyers get in the rooms, and
when you get to be at this level of politics.
You've been in those rooms, right, and you've heard those
lawyers say say nothing, admit to nothing, nothing, nothing, And
you don't remember, I don't recall nothing.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You know nothing.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And I guess when you're hit over the head with
that for so many years and so many of those meetings,
that it becomes part of who you are intrinsically of
how you speak. But we as people, as voters, as
real people, once in a while need to hear these
politicians come out and say I screwed up and I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Because that goes a long way.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah, and that, like you said, has evaporated from all
discourse when it comes to someone standing behind a podium.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
One of the more high profile versions of that was
when Kamala Harris went on the View and they asked her,
is there anything that you think could have been better
or that she disagreed with Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
She's like, nah, I don't think it's okay. It's human.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It's completely normal to have something that you regret a.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Bad candidate, like I have PTSD from, like just trying
to shine that massive mistake of a candidate, you know,
like coming in here and like try And I wanted
to like her so much.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I did. I wanted to like her so much. And
she was awful. She was an awful speaker. She was awful, awfully.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Unprepared when she would be trotted out for disasters. That
view appearance was awful. The interviews were all. It was
all awful. It was all looking back, it's more awful
than it.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Was in real time.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Did you finish that apple yet?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Oh? That apple stood no chance.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Poor Jacob and the break had to hear me eat
that applehrying. Oh, he was like, this is disgusting. I'm like,
I'm sorry, Jacob, it was bad.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
We will get into bumper stickers.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
A bit of a renaissance when it comes to bumper stickers.
They have made a comeback and they are a little
bit more esoteric than we remember them. I feel like
they were always a little bit off beat.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I only remember ever, in all of my days, with
all of the cars and my family's ever owned, I
only remember one bumper sticker.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
My parents would never have a bumper sticker. It would
never be a thing. My husband's mother was big into
bumper stickers a lot about She was very much into
Yellowstone and saving the Buffalo, so a lot of them
(09:19):
were Buffalo themed. Okay, but you know, it's a way
of personally letting people know.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Who you are, you know, as you drive down the road.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I can't think of something I would want less than
having people know my personality on my car, Like, I
don't want It's enough to know that any part of
my personality is out there. I don't need to emblazon
my vehicle with with those things.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Just right, Like, yeah, just roll down your window and
start yelling at people. That's probably a better way to
show your personality. Well that's hurtful.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No, No, I was just saying it does the same.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I don't yell at people.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Right, No, you would never.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Like your your bumper stickers would be like giants.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I hate women. Are you a woman? Why are you
even driving right now?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Who gave you for a mission to be on the road?
I bet you vote too. I think I summed you
up right there.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Okay, yeled it pretty much pretty much nailed it.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Uh So this this murder story is just insane. CalFire
captain that we know was found stabbed to death in
her home and the details of motivation, uh, just insane.
This CalFire captain was apparently killed by Yulanda Morodi and
(10:54):
Rebecca Morodi. The fire captain was forty nine years old.
She helped even she was on the line of the
eaten fire last month, found stabbed to death at her
house in Ramona. She is Yolanda is the murderer suspect.
The murder suspect currently at large. They're asking for help
finding her. Rebecca's mother had called nine one one saying
(11:15):
her daughter had been stabbed at their home. Detectives founder
with stab wounds to her neck, chest, and abdomen.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Apparently many many stab wounds, the.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Kind of number that makes you believe that this was
not just an well one off, that it was in
fact a very passion fueled.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Murder.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
So detectives arrived to find Rebecca with stab wounds to
her neck, her chest, her abdomen. They tried to save
her life, but it was it was just not possible
with all of the damage. Now, the mother, Rebecca's mother
told the detectives that her daughter had told Yolanda a
(11:58):
week ago she was ending the marriage. And now there's
home security video where you can see Rebecca running for
her life, running from Yolanda, and you can hear her
in the video saying, Yolanda, please, I don't want to die.
In the video, it's already been bloodied. She's got blood
(12:21):
on her back. Yolanda is seen in the video as well.
She's got blood on her arms and she screams back,
you should have thought of that before, while holding a
knife standing over Rebecca.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
That same video goes on to show Yolanda then gathering
a bunch of pets and luggage and loading them into
the suv she was driving away. Apparently Department of Homeland
Security I'm assuming probably a license plate camera caught her
entering Mexico.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
They still haven't found her, by the way.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, So, according to the arrest warrant for end of
Yolanda's called detectives showing them a message from Yolanda the
day that Rebecca was stabbed and killed, the day that
Yolanda stabbed and killed Rebecca, saying this, this is what
Yolanda wrote to her friend. Becky came home, told me
(13:16):
she was leaving me. She met someone else. All the
messages were lies. We had a big fight and I
hurt her. I'm sorry. Like we mentioned these two, Rebecca
and Yolanda were married for just over two years. They
shared the same address. And this is a woman, Yolanda,
who was sentenced twenty years ago to eleven years in
(13:39):
prison because she stabbed and killed her husband. She was
hit with or she was convicted of. She pleaded guilty
to voluntary manslaughter.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
That was a deal.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You don't stab and kill someone without thinking about it first.
That doesn't just happen. But unless you're in a domestic
violence self defense situe even then. But yeah, she killed
her husband, James Ulzzzak.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Jenna Zach.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
And she served time from twenty four till twenty thirteen
for that. Got out, swindled this fire chief into a romance,
married her, and then when Yolanda's tricks were up, Rebecca's like,
I'm leaving you. I mean that that's rough too. I
mean I wonder when Yolanda flipped the switch, right, Like
(14:31):
what did she do to get Rebecca to marry her.
Rebecca's a fire Chief's got that sweet pension, stable job.
Probably she was what forty seven at the time that
they got married, so mid forties. The dating pool is shallow.
It's not good out there. You meet this woman pretty,
she's into you. You think you've got this second chance
(14:52):
or what have you or this late later in life
love story, and then you know, Yolanda acted one way
and then flipped switch, and two years go by into
the marriage and something happened, Rebecca's had the strength to
get out of it, and you'll want to stab her
to death to avoid that.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I mean. Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Coming up in about an hour, Justin Worsham, host of
The Dad podcast, will join us. We'll be talking about
your baby's name. Can your baby's name predict their financial success?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
How ridiculous is that?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, anyway, we'll get into the research behind that. Also newstuff.
Do have a favorite child? Obviously?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Wait a minute, come on, you do you say that
because you're the favorite?
Speaker 4 (15:39):
No? Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Good Lord?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Absolutely not. But I think that they do.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
And I think that the child can change from time
to time, Like sometimes someone's your favorite and then the
next day the other kids your favorite.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Maybe it depends, It depends.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I think it comes down to if you're a person
who likes to name things as your favorite, right, like
I I love chocolate ice cream. It is my favorite,
as opposed to someone who's just like I don't love.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
All ice cream.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I like chocolate ice cream, right, It's good. Also, a
little bit later in the show, what You're watch on Wednesday?
So you can leave us a talkback message and let
us know what it is that you are watching.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Do you think you were the favorite child.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I was told by my parents repeatedly that I was
the favorite child.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Really, yes, there's.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
A whole thing about whether or not parents should tell
their kids if they're the favorite child or not.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Either too well, who cares?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I mean, if you're so, I don't know, and your
point of it can change. You know, day to day
is important and when I actually there were a couple
of people last week we were talking about it, and
they said, it's really route. It's really painful for someone
to tell a child that they're the favorite, because then
(16:53):
that sets them up. And if the other siblings find
out for some reason that they're not the favorite, then
do they.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Feel Oh, I would much rather be the non favorite.
There's too much to live up to. If you're the favorite,
you know, it's too much pressure. I'd rather just be
the detritus of the family. Did your sisters know that
you were the favorite?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Well, they never told.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
My parents never told me that I was the favorite
in front of them.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Is there a chance your parents told each child that
they were the favorite?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Highly likely yes, because that's how my parents would have run.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
They wouldn't want anybody to feel bad.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
La County DA's office has announced a twenty six count
indictment surrender centered around this huge drug smuggling operation in
the Santa Clarita Valley Jail facility that's up there, of course,
the North County Correctional Facility. It extended to Men's Central
Jail in downtown LA and they centered around a guy
(17:51):
that was identified as a leader in the drug trade
within the jails.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, whoa whoa, there's a drug
trade in La County jails.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, Holy hell.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
For example, there were people who were told to send
the proceeds of any drug sales to the homie from Rockwood,
who was one above this character. Five days later, an
unidentified co conspirator housed at North County Correctional Facility reported
to another one that the co conspirator, Scrappy, reported that
Christina had picked it up yesterday. All of this coded
(18:31):
language used, but the communications they said were made over
the inmate telephone monitoring system, which obviously are recorded by
the Sheriff's Department.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
It's not really coded language. I mean, it's not a code.
To people who are friends with these people, It's not
like they're using these code These are just nicknames.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Right, Well, the names, yes, but when you're talking specifically
about the drugs, they would use the words white Jordan's
to talk about methamphetamine and black Jordan's to talk about heroin.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well, you're not going to put your drugs plainly, well,
of course, right what would what do you call your drugs?
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Skittles and uh starburst Starburst.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
The big deal though, is that one sheriff's deputy was
caught up in all of them. No Internal Criminal Investigation Bureau.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Arrested journey deputy in La County.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Arrest did a thirty nine year old deputy worked at
pitch Us Detention Centers.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Guy from Lancaster.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
So I think it's funny that Nathan Hawkman Man. You
got to hand it to him. He has really used
this office every single day since he's gotten it as
District Attorney. I mean, good for him. I mean we
in La County have had lawlessness for that whole Gascone
mess that we had to live through. Nathan Hawkman comes out,
(19:59):
he's a let did and every single day since he's
been elected, he's been out in front of everything. He's
been visible, he's been on camera. He's on the news
every morning, every evening because of it, he seems he's
giving us the feeling that he is on top of everything.
I mean, talk about the broken windows theory. Cracking down
(20:19):
on the drug trade in La County jails like that
wouldn't even be something that most das would even consider touching, because,
like I've been trying to sarcastically, sarcastically point out, of
course there's drugs in the jails. Of course, deputies are involved.
Since the beginning of jails, the onset of any sort
of law and order, this has been going on.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
It's just what happens.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
But the fact that he's paying attention to the littlest
of things, or the things that are not really on
the top of mind of people sitting around their dinner
table shows that he's really invested into cleaning up La County.
And I just I'm curious is to see where he
goes next once the governor's race is twenty six yep. Okay,
(21:01):
so it's probably too soon for that, but he's definitely
got his eyes on something bigger.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Because maybe not, maybe he's just like.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
This hyper focused guy who goes balls to the wall
with every job he does. But wow, the visibility he
has really used this office.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
You know you talk.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Let's just put it next to like Kamala Harris's vice president,
what you can do. You can do as much or
as little in whatever job you have right or a
lot of jobs, as much or as little as you want.
And he has done as much as possible. Conversely, Kamala
Harris did pretty much as little as possible as vice president.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I have a friend in the DA's office who said
the beautiful line that will be repeated over and over again,
which is crime is illegal again in La County.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Ah, bumper stickers. I feel like this was a seventies
and eighties thing, but maybe that's just because.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
I don't know when did they become popular. You think
you know.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
What's funny is it was like the forties?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Oh really?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Interesting, which is weird because I don't know how. I
don't even get how people would adorn their cars with.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I guess it.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
It happens eventually, once you have a piece of you know,
normal everyday life that becomes even more normalized. You try
to make it unique somehow. But the idea that you
would use a bumper sticker to express your desire for
a political candidate, or I don't know, to be funny
or something like that.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I just well it not to be a pooh poor,
but be a please away. You put like a Kemp
that's all music. You put like a Kemp bumper sticker
on the back of your car. Do you think I'm
gonna see that sticker and then vote for Kemp? It's
quite a pull, right, I was trying to pick something
not current, just to not offend anybody something a little bit,
(22:53):
you know, Like, do you really think I'm gonna I'm
gonna look at your co Exist bumper sticker and be like,
you're right, I should coexist with everyone. I shouldn't get
mad at that guy that just cut me off. I
should co exist with him. Sometimes when I see a
Coexist sticker after someone's cut me off.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Like that, just want to I just want to run
into that car, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I mean, I think that sometimes it can have the
opposite effect.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I also think it's not necessarily for you to convince
someone else. It's for you to find someone who agrees
with you, but.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Who cares you're driving from to and fro, you're driving
from A to B.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Who you're trying to find you're going to.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Work well, And that's a good point. Is what kind
of interaction are you looking for? Are you looking for
somebody to pull up beside you and like.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Thumbs up on your sticker back there?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I like I also like carrots and my other my
copilot is dog.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
There's somebody who works where we work, and it's a
car that we walk by it like that, Okay.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
From time to time. I don't know if you've ever
noticed it.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I have.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
And this person bumper is littered with bumper stickers.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I'm sure they're delightful.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
One of the stickers says something like, I break for squirrels.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Oh yeah, I don't know whose car that is.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I don't know either, but it's one thing to have
the thought I break for squirrel like I like squirrels, Right,
that's your first thought.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I like squirrels or cool little guys yay.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
And then another thought is if you see a squirrel
in the middle of the road, you're gonna break for it.
You don't want to hurt the little guy. And then
there's another to think, this is part of my identity.
I'm going to get a sticker and put it on
my car. It's like blazoning your car with your minor
squirrel thought.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
But by being too awful about that, you're being too
poo pooy.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Okay, because I think there are things that you what's
the difference between that between a bumper sticker and wearing
a T shirt with either a funny saying I changed
my T.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Shirt the next day. I wear that shirt one day. Yeah,
but why do you wear a shirt that it's got
a forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Logo on it?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Because I like the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, but you don't stop liking the forty I mean,
actually this season probably did, but you don't stop it.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
I like to show solid You're right.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I like to show solidarity with the team that I enjoy.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I like to I feel like it's a support thing.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
It's a way of showing your support for a team,
or you know, if it's your kids, your.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Kids sports T shirts.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Or whatever, like you're supporting that program, were your kid's
Honor Roll, your kid is an honorable member at the thing.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I love those.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I love my kids. I love the kid as on
the Honor Roll or the merrit Roll or what have you.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I love those.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I think you should. I think people should brag about
their kids all day, all day. That never bothers me.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
But the squirrel thing.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I I also like the stickers that were like my
kid could beat up your honorable student. That was a
fun phase in humanity. Those were fun too. But I mean,
whatever your kid's gift is, if your kid's gift is
on a roll, if your kid's gift is braun, I
support all those things. But I mean, I guess it's
just you know, it is for it to live and
(26:09):
let live, right, Like, if you're into the squirrel stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Fine, I had one bumper sticker, like I said, and
it was I refuse to have a battle of wits
with an unarmed person. I didn't put it on my car.
I think my sister. I think my older sister did.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
And look at you on your horse.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
No, no, I didn't understand it. I didn't get it.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
It was like.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Until I was probably until we sold that car. I
don't think I actually understood what that bumper sticker meant.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Probably because you didn't pay attention to it.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
No, I read it over and over again. I just
didn't get it.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
How did you not get it?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I was a dummy, That's how I didn't get it.
You must know.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Which is going to be my La Times article. It's
hard to drive anywhere in La right now without seeing
an irreverent bumper sticker. In my own neighborhood of Echo Park,
they write, there's this one. My other car is a
spirit Halloween. Here's another one. Let me merge. My dad
(27:12):
is dead. Oh, here's another one. Keep honking. That's it,
Just keep honking, keep honking. I'm sitting in my car
crying to the Cranberries nineteen ninety three hit single Linger.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Again. I think it's people trying to find I don't know.
I don't know what they're trying to find.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Here's the one.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Never forget happiness like nine to eleven is an inside job.
Good lord, keep honking. I'm listening to the Indigo Girls. Lord,
this article enough is enough to get me to move.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Yeah, or at least go rip off the Indigo Girls.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I love the Indigo Girls until people start talking about
how much they love the Indigo Girls.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Okay, now, you're just trying to sound like you're the
hipster without being a hipster.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
No, that's not hipster.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That's just people who have to talk about it. It's
kind of like MPR. I like listening to MPR stories
and podcasts, but when people start saying I heard it
on MPR, I just I turn off my mind immediately.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
We'll do a swamp watch when we come back. I
get it, Gary and Shannon. We'll continue right after this.
