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):
Mayor Bass, she's still taking questions there down a city hall.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
One hundred and thirty million dollars that are being used
for no reason, wasting taxpayers money. Give us that money
so that we can get prepared for the World Cup
next year.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Give us that money.
Speaker 5 (00:21):
It sounds like.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
I've been trying to have you been trying to reach
that at SOEK.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
It sounds like you're talking to a Friday and I stopped.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Put the focuses elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
But no, no, no, no, no no. What I said
is is that I have not period reached out directly
to President Trump. My conversations with people either in the
administration are close to the administration have been continuing. I've
not spoken to mister Holman again, but I think those
(00:53):
conversations are still going on.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
All right again, Mayor Bass is doing this news conference
from down in city Hall.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Is that a new sweatshirt? Oh yeah, it's really in
And among other.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Things, she suggested that this once again all started because
the immigration enforcement operations that were taking place late last
week and then also suggested that if the price tag
is right in terms of the federal the federal reaction
to what's going on here, somewhere around one hundred and
thirty four million dollars is what we said it's going
(01:27):
to cost. She said, why don't you just give us
one hundred and thirty four million dollars?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Okay, that's what your child would say. That's what a
child would say to a parent.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Cup rightly, my mom, why are you spending six dollars
on carrots? Why don't you give me that money and
I'll buy candy bars. It's such a juvenile thing, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Well, listen, it's not the way the world works.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Again, it's why did I have an accent when I
was that kid?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I don't know, but I liked it.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I want to know why. She just can't say. The
question keeps coming up, like what are the Marines going
to do? She didn't know what the National I don't do.
Now we know what the National Guard is doing. They're
standing outside the federal buildings protecting federal property and personal
That's what the Marine Corps is going to do.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
The Marines that are coming in here are going to
help seamlessly.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I hope combined with the National Guard, they're not going
to be out there cracking heads of these morons that
continue to spray paint f ice and all cops are
bastards throughout downtown l A.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
That's not what their job is.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I didn't know we were swearing on today's program. Michael
Monks has joined us.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Thankfully. I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I didn't mean to admonish you. If you want to
see the program, I'm happy about it. Yeah, support to
support you in your journey.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
You sister Shannon over here telling me not to watch
my tongue. You know, this press conference that we just
saw was nothing right. We've learned nothing new, and that
that's what's kind of disappointing about watching this is we.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Learned that there was going to be a prayer vigil tonight.
There's gonna be a prayer.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Not only is there a per visual tonight at six,
but the city council meeting, which is how being right
now as well, that started with a bunch of prayers.
They breed it in some holy people to be able
to lead the city building and.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Some prayers people of various different clubs. Yeah, and councilman Unites.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Hernandez was crying, you know, I mean, but we're going
to hear more from city council today because they are
addressing this.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
The Board of Supervisors is also meeting right now.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
They are doing something related to this as well, so
we will finally hear from more local officials. But I
don't imagine it's going to stray far from what we
just heard from the mayor herself there.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
As I understand it, the city, excuse me, the county
Board of Supervisors is looking to join in on the
lawsuit that the state is filing on its own behalf
or or basically pigging backing their legal action with the
state against the federal and.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
They have done this on other things. It's more symbolic
than anything. I mean, maybe some of the lawyers will
actually have to do some work on it, but you know, this.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
One just means we'll pay for the lawyers to do
the work on it.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Well, maybe if we got that one hundred and thirty
four million dollars, we'd have a few extra pennies.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
You and your candy bars, I know, by the way,
that's a beautiful Carmel, California. Sweat your thank you, great one.
I'm wearing them.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
You're very in the item of the late Spring. Here's
what I noticed last night that ended up making me
a little bit angry.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I was ready to start.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Let me just say, I feel like three days of
anger for Michael Monks is a lot of anger.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
And I did not have to get breaks on it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
And you can come back and tell us we're taking
a break ready for because I was super late. I
ruined Deborah's news, and so I want to get to
this on time, and we'll come back with all your anger.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
If you can hold it, I can hold that in.
All right.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
When you work together for ten years now in October,
four hours a day, you're going to hear.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Things that you might not want to hear. It was
off the air. Yeah, you asked it a question. Okay,
we don't need to get no no why because it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It's fine, it's fine, I have no secrets. Go ahead, Nope,
all right, I.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Just want to say I only I've not worked with
you but a year plus, and now I am also
aware of this story and ah that's quite uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay, let's get back to your anger with the city.
And you know, you've lived in La two years, two
years and changed, two and a haive years and change,
and you live downtown in the heart of it, all right,
and you think that you should have services crazy like
police and fire roads.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well why not. We're only the economic engine of the city.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I understand that it's just nice to see refreshed anger
because everyone else is so beaten down by no services
that we're kind of used to it.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Well, here's what you keep hearing.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
And you just heard the mayor say this, and I'm
shocked that it came out of her mouth, honestly, and
I'm trying to be impartial here, but I'm.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Also a resident.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
And she's like, I want to address the national audience here,
because of course this has gotten a lot of national
interests and people will make clips and try to score
political points or whatever. So she's addressing the national audience
and says, this is not all of LA, this is
part of LA. This is part of downtown. I saw
in CNN they said the same thing. You know, I
saw an ABC reporter say the same thing. It's just
(05:58):
it's not widespread chaos. It's just a sliver of a
sliver of downtown. And I think, why does that even matter?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Because it's true. I mean, you live in the sliver,
so it matters. But like LA is kind of like
New York with the burrows in that LA is so
spread out and people who don't live here don't know that.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Well, it's just the fact that studio cities not on
fire matter in the conversation that we're having, or is it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
The well when they run with the headline of LA
is on fire, downtown is in LA it is accurate.
I say that, But it's not Hollywood. It's not Santa Monica.
People think of when they think of LA. They think
of the ferris Wheel, and they think of Hollywood, and
they think the.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Ferris Wheel isn't even in Los Angeles proper.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
How long I know you lived here, I'm telling you
what other people think when they think about.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
But that's fair, yeah, And I will tell you what
others like.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
When the riots happened in ninety two and they brought
in the National Guard, all of LA was on fire,
like helicopter from the ten the horizon and there was
smoke and fire and preople, so like it's happened, it's
happened with the whole city's on fire.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
This is not it. Well, I think that, but.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
I don't understand why we feel like we need to
make that distinction.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
It seems like so it's only part we.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Because on Twitter everyone's saying all of La is on
fire and burning, and the protesters have taken over it
and all of La is being looted.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
But here's what Here's I think one of the fundamental
problems with it is that she I, if I were
to crawl inside that head, I would say one of
the things that she has to do, regardless of the
conditions on the ground, is state to the nation and
the world, perhaps La is still open for business. That
(07:40):
what the events that we've been seeing for the last
few days happen in a multiple hour but a small
window of the day, a quarter of the day, we'll say,
for six hours. And it's only been a few days,
and it's only been in those few blocks of downtown La.
So she's got to be able to also sell it
to everybody, like it's hey, Disney Line's still open. Hey,
(08:01):
you could still walk down Hollywood Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Nobody's looking at Karen Bass right now, who live in
other parts of the country. You couldn't even name Karen Bass.
If you're in Ohio. You look at your screen, Karen
Bass is on it. Really, who's that nice lady?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Right?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
There's no but I'm saying she has because of who
she is. Yeah, the jobs that she's had previously. You're right,
she does need to make that distinction. She has to
as the administrator of the city of city, as the
executive of the City of Los Angeles, she has to
be able to say, it's.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Not that bad. You know, we're just got some We
got some.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
We have bad people doing bad things, and they should
be prosecuted. But in all honesty, there's still, you know,
a good you know, three and a half million people
in LA that aren't doing those things. Doesn't it seem
like there's a hesitation though, to say, here's what we're
going to do to stop those bad things from happening
in the first place. Yes, I don't know why I'm
not hearing that, but that's because I think this is
a hangover from what we saw five years ago.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
It is.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
If people wanted to protest in the summer of twenty
twenty all of those COVID rules be damned because they
were expressing their feelings about what they described as a
racist country. And in that case, nobody was prosecuted to
the extent that a lot of people thought they should be. Yes,
there were prosecutions. Yes, people were held accountable for some
(09:16):
of the stuff that they did. But that was the
beginning of this feeling of we need to give people
the freedom to express themselves. And sometimes that means violence,
and sometimes that means looting, and sometimes that means graffiti,
and sometimes that means throwing stuff at cops. But they're
just expressing themselves. That mentality is hard to go back to,
(09:41):
hard to come back from.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
The toothpaste is out of the two.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Toothpastes is out of the two. And we talked about
this yesterday. There's got to be a line. Whatever that
line is, whatever is the first trigger mechanism. I suppose
that when the LAPD says that group of people over
there has vandalized that building, everybody gotta go, and they
(10:06):
say it like that, that's what that They have to
figure out what that line is going to be. Is
it that they encroach upon the federal building? Is it
that they vandalize. Is it that they loot, is it
that they throw something at cops? Whatever it is, that
trigger has to be enforced. They say, okay, you did
this one thing. I don't care if you did it
or the guy behind you did it. Everybody out and
(10:28):
then that's it.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Can you be the one that shouts that no. I
would love everybody out on Broadway. I think it would work. Listen,
I'm scared right now we're dealing with in some case,
especially late at night, once these peaceful protesters holding their
signs and chance.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
If I was having a house party, instead of calling
the cops, I would totally call Gary to clean out
my house of people. Like you know how you had
to secretly call the cops and pretend you didn't call
the cops on your own party. I'd call Gary very strong.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Well, that was a whole point. Like these again, I'm
gonna get no. I know, La is a petulant child
that has never been told no, and again and again
they get to misbehave without any consequences. And yes, it
may just be the tiny sliver that everybody wants to portray,
because it's not the whole city.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
You want to shoot up with fentanyl in the open air.
Go for it, here's a clean need.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Don't think about the stores that are being hit. It
is already difficult enough. It's already a difficult enough residential
end business environment in downtown. But you did have Nike
make a big investment, Adidas made a big investment. Microsoft, Apple,
I mean saved an entire old Broadway theater to put
their shop in there. All of that is being ransacked.
A sushi restaurant was looted last night.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Ah Fresh Fish. Well, it's like it just shows how.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Just random that this damage and violence can be. It
has nothing to do with the centralized message.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And it ruins the future, is what you're saying, Like today's.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Why would you invest in there?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
There are no consequences, and I just if you don't
mind very quick today. I live in downtown LA live
in an old building too that has been turned into lofts. Okay,
all of my furniture is now in the middle of
the room because I had to move everything to the
center because the building is coming in to paint the
ceiling by order of the City of Los Angeles, because
(12:18):
it's just that time they've inspected and it's time to repaint.
The ceilings. I guess to protect us from lead. Those
policies are always enforced. Your parking meter expires, you're getting
a ticket. You park in a bus lane, you're getting
a ticket. You try to build something, you have to
go through every single process because there's money to find
a while down town Los Angeles, burn it up graffiti.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
This graffiti is a lot, But there's graffiti down there.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Every Day's graffiti every single day, and nobody says a
thing about it. The way they pick and choose wish
policies are important. It's just so frush.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Follow the money.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Whoever has the contract with the city to paint your ceiling,
there's somebody at City Hall getting a kickback from that
contract money. There's no money to be made in a
sing graffiti, because then you look like a Republican in
Los Angeles, and then you have no political future and
no kickbacks down the road to make your family comfortable
(13:10):
and buy the candy bars and the carrots. It really
is as simple as follow the money. It's a disgusting world,
and it's no more disgusting than in downtown LA. Look
no further than City Hall, where half the place has
gone away to federal prison.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
And by the way, I've done my research on city
hall because I cover it and I've read all the
way back to like nineteen twenty five when this form
of government started. Consistently throughout history, Los Angeles City Council
people have just been going to chain, which is crazy
because one hundred years when you think of when you
think of political or politician coruc Chicago, you think Chicago,
but it's here in LA is like good.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
As long as they take their headlines exactly, we'll still
bring in all the money. The fires are to distract.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And the last time there was a vibrant transportation and
business time for downtown LA was probably the twenties and
the thirties.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Yeah, and they colluded to rip it all out, and
now look at what we deal with exactly.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Well, this was fun. Thank you, I love you. Do
you have anything uplifting to share?
Speaker 6 (14:04):
I just think that we should maybe go to that
prayer vigil at six o'clock and car painting question, Actually,
what are they just?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Is it just ceiling white? Think it's like, is it
a flat white? It's all white. It's a stark white building.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
And then you make your own color with curtains and
drapes and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
It's fun.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
LA Police A.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Ninety six people were arrested last night suspicion of failure
to disperse in downtown La suspicion.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Yeah, I love that, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I know. One person also arrested on suspicion of assaults
with a deadly weapon, another on suspicion of resisting arrest,
and one more on suspicion of vandalism. Two other officers
or two officers were injured, treated and released. Fourteen people
were arrested on suspicion of looting downtown stores as fourteen people.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yes, there's looting.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It's horrible, it shouldn't be done, a be stopped, but
it is not La nineteen ninety two riots situations we're
dealing with.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
The Pentagon is still working to establish specific rules to
guide the Marines who are going to be faced with
the prospect of I guess, potentially using force on Americans here.
That's not going to happen. But of course I also
said that there would not be marines on the streets
of La.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Hey, Gary, mister know it all.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
I thought you said yesterday the Marines would never be
called up for Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I did.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Now, would you like ketchup or salt and pepper with
the crow you need to eat?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Mister know at all? Mister no at all. I was
completely wrong. He sounds like a fun eating.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I didn't think it was going to escalate to the
point of calling in the Marine.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Why would you. It hasn't happened since the riots. Why
would you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And the other thing about it is we that I
don't think the general public is really going to have
a good eyeball on where the Marines are versus the
National Guard, and they're not. Again, They're not the ones
that are going to be out there on the skirmish
lines with people that want to protest and do these
things throughout the streets of LA. They're going to be
(16:13):
around the federal buildings that they're going to be the
National Guard currently is located at.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Let me share that plate of crow with you, because
yesterday as we were getting out of here, it was
in the last hour of the show when I get
an alert from CNN and I look up at CN
and it says Marines mobilize and I read it like this,
CNN is running with the fact the marine's been mobilized.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Right, because you thought that's not I can't be right. Yeah,
Like I.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Knew about the plan to mobilize if it came to that,
but when I saw that they had been, it was
that far out. Why why would you bring in the Marines?
Right now, we don't know what the expectation is for tonight.
Mayor Karen Bass a short time ago did hold a
news conference, and she referred to the belief that there
are other demonstrations that are planned tonight and the potential
(17:04):
for them to turn into violent demonstrations or at least
damaging demonstrations with graffiti and storefronts, etc. On top of
all of that, there was a movement that predated the
demonstrations that we've seen here in LA That is a
No King's protest that was already scheduled for June fourteenth,
(17:28):
which is Saturday, that was designed to counter what will
be the military parade that has planned for Washington, d C.
On Saturday that's designed to celebrate the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the Army and coincides, of course, with
President Trump's birthday. He loves that idea, but the plans
(17:50):
for a celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of the Army were long before the president became the
president again. So anyway, these no King's protests are expected
to gain some traction over the next couple of days,
especially if what we've seen in downtown LA repeats itself
over the next few nights.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It's like if I just called you, you know, a white, Okay,
the whites a white. The whites be careful. Well, I'm
just saying that, like you have other things about you
that we know.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Uh huh. You're a middle aged white. Okay, you're making it.
You're painting quite a few, You're you're washing. I know
what you're right, I know what you're saying. I know
what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
All right, this just came down more bullets here fired
at the administration.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Legal bullets.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I guess I should say, maybe let's go with symbolic bullets.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Let's go with that.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Gavin Newsom in the Office of the Governor have announced
that they are filing an emergency request for the court
to block President Trump and the Department of Defense from
expanding the current mission of the California National Guard personnel
and marines. When we talked to Jessica Levinson earlier, a
constitutional law expert at Loyola.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Among her other.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Accomplishments big Business Card, she mentioned that this could go
before a judge pretty quickly before we knew about the
emergency request, that there could be a quick timetable for
this lawsuit. The California filed that we talked about yesterday
making its way before a federal judge here in California. Yeah,
and while the wheels of justice turned slowly, they can
(19:44):
be sped up, especially in an emergent situation. And this
is clearly one of those times when a judge or
a court would be able to say, yeah, this is important.
We need to have this decided within the next few days.
I mean, like she said, it wouldn't necessarily be hours,
but it could be relatively quickly that we get this
thing heard. This specific emergency motion today is on top
(20:11):
of the lawsuit from yesterday. President Trump and Gavin Newsom
have been in this I guess standoff. Newsom filed the
federal lawsuit in court in San Francisco, against the President,
against the Secretary Defense beat Hegseth, and the Department of
Defense in general trying to reverse this weekend order that
(20:33):
called for the National Guard to come in during the protests,
and of course they're continuing to point the fingers and
blame each other. Gavin Newsom Karen Bass, the two most
vocal and visible people here, have said that the only
reason the protests broke out was because the President called
(20:54):
in the National Guard, which was not true. There were
protests before the national Guard was called out. The president says,
the only reason that the city's not burning down is
because the National Guard was called in, which is not true,
because there were protests on Saturday that were put down
before the National Guard even showed up. So everybody's got
(21:15):
about half a cup of truth in whatever they are
writing about all of this. The several incidents of violence
and disorder and violent protests that Trump used in the
order were true, but they did not specifically mention even
California or La specifically, which is one of the issues
(21:35):
that Gavin Newsom took issue with, which was if you're
not even going to be specific about where these National
Guard's troops are to be deployed. That's another shortcoming on
your part.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
The statement that comes out of the Governor's office, I
don't know, these are political offices. They're going to be
embroiled in politics, will be political language, but it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Have to be that way. It's just that's what we've
gotten used to.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And when one of the subtitles in the statement out
of out of the Governor's office is cleaning up Trump's mess.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
It's just blatant politicalization of offices at this point, from
the top on down. Yeah, would you want a couple
more fun facts about the black phoebe flycatcher be more
fun than.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Talking about agreed lawsuits flying back and forth.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
So the females will construct the mud nests that they're
known for mud nests, mud nests, and they visit their nest.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
You're not listening to me.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'm just making sure that I didn't get a phone
call that I needed to. Oh, I'm sorry, No, are
You're right? I just wanted to know, like I'm eating
a potato or anything.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I just wanted you to know that the black phoebe
flycatchers they go back to the same nesting sites here
after year, this is what I needed your undivided attention for.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Okay. Also, it's such a.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Crying wolf thing. I'm now I'm never gonna get your
attention again. Also, they are sit and wait predators wait,
which means they sit and they wait for an insect
to come by, and then they go ahead and get
it and they eat it.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Chump, chump, chomp.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That takes a lot of patience, yes, because what if
there are no bugs, they get hungry.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
They're also monogamous. They're together for years and years and years,
so they're.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Kind of lazy. Whoa, I don't mean the word.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I meant they're lazy, and that they just wait for
food to come by, like a sea anemone.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
What's a cnmon? Excuse me? What's this? Did you ask me?
What is a sea anemone? Yeah? Okay, I'm gonna let
you look that up. I didn't know about c anemones.
Yes you did? No, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yes, you're now forgett You're you're getting so old that
you're forgetting things that you knew when you were a younger.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Shannon, is that what's happening? I've never heard see you anemone? Yep?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Okay, I'm not even going to argue with what you've
forgotten and haven't forgotten.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Missus Twellather never taught me about an enemy. I don't
remember how much into marine biology show. Where did you
go to public school where you learned about marine biology? Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I don't know about ten miles away from where you
went to public school.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
I never learned these things. I mean I knew what
a fish was. I don't.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I can't even I can't even have this argument with
you for an order. I feel like I'm shaming you
into remembering fourth.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Grade you'd remember see an enemy, and I don't. I
see what it is now.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
I googled it. Say it again? See anemone anem.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
You've just never seen that before in your life. Never
know how many you've been to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
You're yelling, I am because I want to. I want
to unlock that part of your brain that's starting to
shut down. It's too early, it's too early for you
to forget these things.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Let's talk trending when we come back. Let's get you.
You can take it out of me. It's fine. Let's
get you a cognitive test during the break, shall we.
I don't know anemone, cnemony? What's what is this? Cey?
I know? I think I am not alone. I know
a fish?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, yeah, you are alone.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Do you know what a starfish is? Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And whales and sharks, all the big ones. I know
all the big ones.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Starfish not a big one. You've been listening to The
Gary and Shannon Show. You can always hear us live
on KFI A M six forty nine am 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):
Mayor Bass, she's still taking questions there down a city hall.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
One hundred and thirty million dollars that are being used
for no reason, wasting taxpayers money. Give us that money
so that we can get prepared for the World Cup
next year.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Give us that money.
Speaker 5 (00:21):
It sounds like.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
I've been trying to have you been trying to reach
that at SOEK.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
It sounds like you're talking to a Friday and I stopped.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Put the focuses elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
But no, no, no, no, no no. What I said
is is that I have not period reached out directly
to President Trump. My conversations with people either in the
administration are close to the administration have been continuing. I've
not spoken to mister Holman again, but I think those
(00:53):
conversations are still going on.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
All right again, Mayor Bass is doing this news conference
from down in city Hall.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Is that a new sweatshirt? Oh yeah, it's really in
And among other.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Things, she suggested that this once again all started because
the immigration enforcement operations that were taking place late last
week and then also suggested that if the price tag
is right in terms of the federal the federal reaction
to what's going on here, somewhere around one hundred and
thirty four million dollars is what we said it's going
(01:27):
to cost. She said, why don't you just give us
one hundred and thirty four million dollars?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Okay, that's what your child would say. That's what a
child would say to a parent.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Cup rightly, my mom, why are you spending six dollars
on carrots? Why don't you give me that money and
I'll buy candy bars. It's such a juvenile thing, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Well, listen, it's not the way the world works.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Again, it's why did I have an accent when I
was that kid?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I don't know, but I liked it.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I want to know why. She just can't say. The
question keeps coming up, like what are the Marines going
to do? She didn't know what the National I don't do.
Now we know what the National Guard is doing. They're
standing outside the federal buildings protecting federal property and personal
That's what the Marine Corps is going to do.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
The Marines that are coming in here are going to
help seamlessly.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I hope combined with the National Guard, they're not going
to be out there cracking heads of these morons that
continue to spray paint f ice and all cops are
bastards throughout downtown l A.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
That's not what their job is.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I didn't know we were swearing on today's program. Michael
Monks has joined us.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Thankfully. I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I didn't mean to admonish you. If you want to
see the program, I'm happy about it. Yeah, support to
support you in your journey.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
You sister Shannon over here telling me not to watch
my tongue. You know, this press conference that we just
saw was nothing right. We've learned nothing new, and that
that's what's kind of disappointing about watching this is we.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Learned that there was going to be a prayer vigil tonight.
There's gonna be a prayer.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Not only is there a per visual tonight at six,
but the city council meeting, which is how being right
now as well, that started with a bunch of prayers.
They breed it in some holy people to be able
to lead the city building and.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Some prayers people of various different clubs. Yeah, and councilman Unites.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Hernandez was crying, you know, I mean, but we're going
to hear more from city council today because they are
addressing this.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
The Board of Supervisors is also meeting right now.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
They are doing something related to this as well, so
we will finally hear from more local officials. But I
don't imagine it's going to stray far from what we
just heard from the mayor herself there.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
As I understand it, the city, excuse me, the county
Board of Supervisors is looking to join in on the
lawsuit that the state is filing on its own behalf
or or basically pigging backing their legal action with the
state against the federal and.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
They have done this on other things. It's more symbolic
than anything. I mean, maybe some of the lawyers will
actually have to do some work on it, but you know, this.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
One just means we'll pay for the lawyers to do
the work on it.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Well, maybe if we got that one hundred and thirty
four million dollars, we'd have a few extra pennies.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
You and your candy bars, I know, by the way,
that's a beautiful Carmel, California. Sweat your thank you, great one.
I'm wearing them.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
You're very in the item of the late Spring. Here's
what I noticed last night that ended up making me
a little bit angry.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I was ready to start.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Let me just say, I feel like three days of
anger for Michael Monks is a lot of anger.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
And I did not have to get breaks on it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
And you can come back and tell us we're taking
a break ready for because I was super late. I
ruined Deborah's news, and so I want to get to
this on time, and we'll come back with all your anger.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
If you can hold it, I can hold that in.
All right.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
When you work together for ten years now in October,
four hours a day, you're going to hear.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Things that you might not want to hear. It was
off the air. Yeah, you asked it a question. Okay,
we don't need to get no no why because it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It's fine, it's fine, I have no secrets. Go ahead, Nope,
all right, I.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Just want to say I only I've not worked with
you but a year plus, and now I am also
aware of this story and ah that's quite uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay, let's get back to your anger with the city.
And you know, you've lived in La two years, two
years and changed, two and a haive years and change,
and you live downtown in the heart of it, all right,
and you think that you should have services crazy like
police and fire roads.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well why not. We're only the economic engine of the city.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I understand that it's just nice to see refreshed anger
because everyone else is so beaten down by no services
that we're kind of used to it.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Well, here's what you keep hearing.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
And you just heard the mayor say this, and I'm
shocked that it came out of her mouth, honestly, and
I'm trying to be impartial here, but I'm.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Also a resident.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
And she's like, I want to address the national audience here,
because of course this has gotten a lot of national
interests and people will make clips and try to score
political points or whatever. So she's addressing the national audience
and says, this is not all of LA, this is
part of LA. This is part of downtown. I saw
in CNN they said the same thing. You know, I
saw an ABC reporter say the same thing. It's just
(05:58):
it's not widespread chaos. It's just a sliver of a
sliver of downtown. And I think, why does that even matter?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Because it's true. I mean, you live in the sliver,
so it matters. But like LA is kind of like
New York with the burrows in that LA is so
spread out and people who don't live here don't know that.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Well, it's just the fact that studio cities not on
fire matter in the conversation that we're having, or is it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
The well when they run with the headline of LA
is on fire, downtown is in LA it is accurate.
I say that, But it's not Hollywood. It's not Santa Monica.
People think of when they think of LA. They think
of the ferris Wheel, and they think of Hollywood, and
they think the.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Ferris Wheel isn't even in Los Angeles proper.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
How long I know you lived here, I'm telling you
what other people think when they think about.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
But that's fair, yeah, And I will tell you what
others like.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
When the riots happened in ninety two and they brought
in the National Guard, all of LA was on fire,
like helicopter from the ten the horizon and there was
smoke and fire and preople, so like it's happened, it's
happened with the whole city's on fire.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
This is not it. Well, I think that, but.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
I don't understand why we feel like we need to
make that distinction.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
It seems like so it's only part we.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Because on Twitter everyone's saying all of La is on
fire and burning, and the protesters have taken over it
and all of La is being looted.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
But here's what Here's I think one of the fundamental
problems with it is that she I, if I were
to crawl inside that head, I would say one of
the things that she has to do, regardless of the
conditions on the ground, is state to the nation and
the world, perhaps La is still open for business. That
(07:40):
what the events that we've been seeing for the last
few days happen in a multiple hour but a small
window of the day, a quarter of the day, we'll say,
for six hours. And it's only been a few days,
and it's only been in those few blocks of downtown La.
So she's got to be able to also sell it
to everybody, like it's hey, Disney Line's still open. Hey,
(08:01):
you could still walk down Hollywood Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Nobody's looking at Karen Bass right now, who live in
other parts of the country. You couldn't even name Karen Bass.
If you're in Ohio. You look at your screen, Karen
Bass is on it. Really, who's that nice lady?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Right?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
There's no but I'm saying she has because of who
she is. Yeah, the jobs that she's had previously. You're right,
she does need to make that distinction. She has to
as the administrator of the city of city, as the
executive of the City of Los Angeles, she has to
be able to say, it's.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Not that bad. You know, we're just got some We
got some.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
We have bad people doing bad things, and they should
be prosecuted. But in all honesty, there's still, you know,
a good you know, three and a half million people
in LA that aren't doing those things. Doesn't it seem
like there's a hesitation though, to say, here's what we're
going to do to stop those bad things from happening
in the first place. Yes, I don't know why I'm
not hearing that, but that's because I think this is
a hangover from what we saw five years ago.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
It is.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
If people wanted to protest in the summer of twenty
twenty all of those COVID rules be damned because they
were expressing their feelings about what they described as a
racist country. And in that case, nobody was prosecuted to
the extent that a lot of people thought they should be. Yes,
there were prosecutions. Yes, people were held accountable for some
(09:16):
of the stuff that they did. But that was the
beginning of this feeling of we need to give people
the freedom to express themselves. And sometimes that means violence,
and sometimes that means looting, and sometimes that means graffiti,
and sometimes that means throwing stuff at cops. But they're
just expressing themselves. That mentality is hard to go back to,
(09:41):
hard to come back from.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
The toothpaste is out of the two.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Toothpastes is out of the two. And we talked about
this yesterday. There's got to be a line. Whatever that
line is, whatever is the first trigger mechanism. I suppose
that when the LAPD says that group of people over
there has vandalized that building, everybody gotta go, and they
(10:06):
say it like that, that's what that They have to
figure out what that line is going to be. Is
it that they encroach upon the federal building? Is it
that they vandalize. Is it that they loot, is it
that they throw something at cops? Whatever it is, that
trigger has to be enforced. They say, okay, you did
this one thing. I don't care if you did it
or the guy behind you did it. Everybody out and
(10:28):
then that's it.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Can you be the one that shouts that no. I
would love everybody out on Broadway. I think it would work. Listen,
I'm scared right now we're dealing with in some case,
especially late at night, once these peaceful protesters holding their
signs and chance.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
If I was having a house party, instead of calling
the cops, I would totally call Gary to clean out
my house of people. Like you know how you had
to secretly call the cops and pretend you didn't call
the cops on your own party. I'd call Gary very strong.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Well, that was a whole point. Like these again, I'm
gonna get no. I know, La is a petulant child
that has never been told no, and again and again
they get to misbehave without any consequences. And yes, it
may just be the tiny sliver that everybody wants to portray,
because it's not the whole city.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
You want to shoot up with fentanyl in the open air.
Go for it, here's a clean need.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Don't think about the stores that are being hit. It
is already difficult enough. It's already a difficult enough residential
end business environment in downtown. But you did have Nike
make a big investment, Adidas made a big investment. Microsoft, Apple,
I mean saved an entire old Broadway theater to put
their shop in there. All of that is being ransacked.
A sushi restaurant was looted last night.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Ah Fresh Fish. Well, it's like it just shows how.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Just random that this damage and violence can be. It
has nothing to do with the centralized message.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And it ruins the future, is what you're saying, Like today's.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Why would you invest in there?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
There are no consequences, and I just if you don't
mind very quick today. I live in downtown LA live
in an old building too that has been turned into lofts. Okay,
all of my furniture is now in the middle of
the room because I had to move everything to the
center because the building is coming in to paint the
ceiling by order of the City of Los Angeles, because
(12:18):
it's just that time they've inspected and it's time to repaint.
The ceilings. I guess to protect us from lead. Those
policies are always enforced. Your parking meter expires, you're getting
a ticket. You park in a bus lane, you're getting
a ticket. You try to build something, you have to
go through every single process because there's money to find
a while down town Los Angeles, burn it up graffiti.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
This graffiti is a lot, But there's graffiti down there.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Every Day's graffiti every single day, and nobody says a
thing about it. The way they pick and choose wish
policies are important. It's just so frush.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Follow the money.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Whoever has the contract with the city to paint your ceiling,
there's somebody at City Hall getting a kickback from that
contract money. There's no money to be made in a
sing graffiti, because then you look like a Republican in
Los Angeles, and then you have no political future and
no kickbacks down the road to make your family comfortable
(13:10):
and buy the candy bars and the carrots. It really
is as simple as follow the money. It's a disgusting world,
and it's no more disgusting than in downtown LA. Look
no further than City Hall, where half the place has
gone away to federal prison.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
And by the way, I've done my research on city
hall because I cover it and I've read all the
way back to like nineteen twenty five when this form
of government started. Consistently throughout history, Los Angeles City Council
people have just been going to chain, which is crazy
because one hundred years when you think of when you
think of political or politician coruc Chicago, you think Chicago,
but it's here in LA is like good.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
As long as they take their headlines exactly, we'll still
bring in all the money. The fires are to distract.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And the last time there was a vibrant transportation and
business time for downtown LA was probably the twenties and
the thirties.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Yeah, and they colluded to rip it all out, and
now look at what we deal with exactly.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Well, this was fun. Thank you, I love you. Do
you have anything uplifting to share?
Speaker 6 (14:04):
I just think that we should maybe go to that
prayer vigil at six o'clock and car painting question, Actually,
what are they just?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Is it just ceiling white? Think it's like, is it
a flat white? It's all white. It's a stark white building.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
And then you make your own color with curtains and
drapes and that sort of thing.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
It's fun.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
LA Police A.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Ninety six people were arrested last night suspicion of failure
to disperse in downtown La suspicion.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Yeah, I love that, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I know. One person also arrested on suspicion of assaults
with a deadly weapon, another on suspicion of resisting arrest,
and one more on suspicion of vandalism. Two other officers
or two officers were injured, treated and released. Fourteen people
were arrested on suspicion of looting downtown stores as fourteen people.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yes, there's looting.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It's horrible, it shouldn't be done, a be stopped, but
it is not La nineteen ninety two riots situations we're
dealing with.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
The Pentagon is still working to establish specific rules to
guide the Marines who are going to be faced with
the prospect of I guess, potentially using force on Americans here.
That's not going to happen. But of course I also
said that there would not be marines on the streets
of La.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Hey, Gary, mister know it all.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
I thought you said yesterday the Marines would never be
called up for Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I did.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Now, would you like ketchup or salt and pepper with
the crow you need to eat?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Mister know at all? Mister no at all. I was
completely wrong. He sounds like a fun eating.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I didn't think it was going to escalate to the
point of calling in the Marine.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Why would you. It hasn't happened since the riots. Why
would you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And the other thing about it is we that I
don't think the general public is really going to have
a good eyeball on where the Marines are versus the
National Guard, and they're not. Again, They're not the ones
that are going to be out there on the skirmish
lines with people that want to protest and do these
things throughout the streets of LA. They're going to be
(16:13):
around the federal buildings that they're going to be the
National Guard currently is located at.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Let me share that plate of crow with you, because
yesterday as we were getting out of here, it was
in the last hour of the show when I get
an alert from CNN and I look up at CN
and it says Marines mobilize and I read it like this,
CNN is running with the fact the marine's been mobilized.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Right, because you thought that's not I can't be right. Yeah,
Like I.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Knew about the plan to mobilize if it came to that,
but when I saw that they had been, it was
that far out. Why why would you bring in the Marines?
Right now, we don't know what the expectation is for tonight.
Mayor Karen Bass a short time ago did hold a
news conference, and she referred to the belief that there
are other demonstrations that are planned tonight and the potential
(17:04):
for them to turn into violent demonstrations or at least
damaging demonstrations with graffiti and storefronts, etc. On top of
all of that, there was a movement that predated the
demonstrations that we've seen here in LA That is a
No King's protest that was already scheduled for June fourteenth,
(17:28):
which is Saturday, that was designed to counter what will
be the military parade that has planned for Washington, d C.
On Saturday that's designed to celebrate the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the Army and coincides, of course, with
President Trump's birthday. He loves that idea, but the plans
(17:50):
for a celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of the Army were long before the president became the
president again. So anyway, these no King's protests are expected
to gain some traction over the next couple of days,
especially if what we've seen in downtown LA repeats itself
over the next few nights.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It's like if I just called you, you know, a white, Okay,
the whites a white. The whites be careful. Well, I'm
just saying that, like you have other things about you
that we know.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Uh huh. You're a middle aged white. Okay, you're making it.
You're painting quite a few, You're you're washing. I know
what you're right, I know what you're saying. I know
what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
All right, this just came down more bullets here fired
at the administration.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Legal bullets.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I guess I should say, maybe let's go with symbolic bullets.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Let's go with that.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Gavin Newsom in the Office of the Governor have announced
that they are filing an emergency request for the court
to block President Trump and the Department of Defense from
expanding the current mission of the California National Guard personnel
and marines. When we talked to Jessica Levinson earlier, a
constitutional law expert at Loyola.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Among her other.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Accomplishments big Business Card, she mentioned that this could go
before a judge pretty quickly before we knew about the
emergency request, that there could be a quick timetable for
this lawsuit. The California filed that we talked about yesterday
making its way before a federal judge here in California. Yeah,
and while the wheels of justice turned slowly, they can
(19:44):
be sped up, especially in an emergent situation. And this
is clearly one of those times when a judge or
a court would be able to say, yeah, this is important.
We need to have this decided within the next few days.
I mean, like she said, it wouldn't necessarily be hours,
but it could be relatively quickly that we get this
thing heard. This specific emergency motion today is on top
(20:11):
of the lawsuit from yesterday. President Trump and Gavin Newsom
have been in this I guess standoff. Newsom filed the
federal lawsuit in court in San Francisco, against the President,
against the Secretary Defense beat Hegseth, and the Department of
Defense in general trying to reverse this weekend order that
(20:33):
called for the National Guard to come in during the protests,
and of course they're continuing to point the fingers and
blame each other. Gavin Newsom Karen Bass, the two most
vocal and visible people here, have said that the only
reason the protests broke out was because the President called
(20:54):
in the National Guard, which was not true. There were
protests before the national Guard was called out. The president says,
the only reason that the city's not burning down is
because the National Guard was called in, which is not true,
because there were protests on Saturday that were put down
before the National Guard even showed up. So everybody's got
(21:15):
about half a cup of truth in whatever they are
writing about all of this. The several incidents of violence
and disorder and violent protests that Trump used in the
order were true, but they did not specifically mention even
California or La specifically, which is one of the issues
(21:35):
that Gavin Newsom took issue with, which was if you're
not even going to be specific about where these National
Guard's troops are to be deployed. That's another shortcoming on
your part.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
The statement that comes out of the Governor's office, I
don't know, these are political offices. They're going to be
embroiled in politics, will be political language, but it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Have to be that way. It's just that's what we've
gotten used to.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And when one of the subtitles in the statement out
of out of the Governor's office is cleaning up Trump's mess.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
It's just blatant politicalization of offices at this point, from
the top on down. Yeah, would you want a couple
more fun facts about the black phoebe flycatcher be more
fun than.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Talking about agreed lawsuits flying back and forth.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
So the females will construct the mud nests that they're
known for mud nests, mud nests, and they visit their nest.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
You're not listening to me.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'm just making sure that I didn't get a phone
call that I needed to. Oh, I'm sorry, No, are
You're right? I just wanted to know, like I'm eating
a potato or anything.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I just wanted you to know that the black phoebe
flycatchers they go back to the same nesting sites here
after year, this is what I needed your undivided attention for.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Okay. Also, it's such a.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Crying wolf thing. I'm now I'm never gonna get your
attention again. Also, they are sit and wait predators wait,
which means they sit and they wait for an insect
to come by, and then they go ahead and get
it and they eat it.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Chump, chump, chomp.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That takes a lot of patience, yes, because what if
there are no bugs, they get hungry.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
They're also monogamous. They're together for years and years and years,
so they're.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Kind of lazy. Whoa, I don't mean the word.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I meant they're lazy, and that they just wait for
food to come by, like a sea anemone.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
What's a cnmon? Excuse me? What's this? Did you ask me?
What is a sea anemone? Yeah? Okay, I'm gonna let
you look that up. I didn't know about c anemones.
Yes you did? No, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yes, you're now forgett You're you're getting so old that
you're forgetting things that you knew when you were a younger.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Shannon, is that what's happening? I've never heard see you anemone? Yep?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Okay, I'm not even going to argue with what you've
forgotten and haven't forgotten.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Missus Twellather never taught me about an enemy. I don't
remember how much into marine biology show. Where did you
go to public school where you learned about marine biology? Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I don't know about ten miles away from where you
went to public school.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
I never learned these things. I mean I knew what
a fish was. I don't.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I can't even I can't even have this argument with
you for an order. I feel like I'm shaming you
into remembering fourth.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Grade you'd remember see an enemy, and I don't. I
see what it is now.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
I googled it. Say it again? See anemone anem.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
You've just never seen that before in your life. Never
know how many you've been to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
You're yelling, I am because I want to. I want
to unlock that part of your brain that's starting to
shut down. It's too early, it's too early for you
to forget these things.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Let's talk trending when we come back. Let's get you.
You can take it out of me. It's fine. Let's
get you a cognitive test during the break, shall we.
I don't know anemone, cnemony? What's what is this? Cey?
I know? I think I am not alone. I know
a fish?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, yeah, you are alone.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Do you know what a starfish is? Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And whales and sharks, all the big ones. I know
