Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
We are following a big, well, probably a story. This
happens to be a little earthquake that hit about a
half an hour ago.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Oh that was a nice little shake. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
I'm here in Marietta sitting on the couch listening to
Gary and waiting for Shannon, and my little couch and
my whole table and everything was lit wobbly.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
So yeah, I felt that you guys have a great day.
Thank you. Come on, Shannon, get on there. She will Jesse.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We're still working on the tech, but she'll be in
in just a second. From Canton, Ohio. Earthquake has now,
but they've done that. They went from four point six
to four point two to four point five right now.
USGS says that earthquake in the Rialito area was said
a four point three and there have been a few
aftershocks as a as a result. I mentioned that doctor
Lucy Jones, Seismologist extraordinaire, held a media briefing just a
(00:59):
short time ago as well, and she said, this is
my favorite part about her.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It's just an average earthquake.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Nine magnitude fours within the very close to this location
or eight since nineteen ninety and one in twenty fourteen,
twenty fifteen, twenty four and of course the one we
just had. So sort of the definition of your average
(01:25):
southern California earthquakes.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Perfect, that's the way we like to keep it. Hey, Gary,
I hope you're having a good day. Yes, Shannon, you're
really quiet day.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Are you getting in trouble as a studio telling you
how to talk to so much anymore?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
What's going on? Did you're go on one day and
you come back and now you're all quiet? Something wrong?
So I need to talk with my heart.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We are hooking it up some technical issues. But Shannon's
going to join the show here from Canton, Ohio just
a couple of minutes. Told you yesterday that Kamala Harris
dropped out. She is not going to be running for
governor in twenty twenty six. She has announced, however, that
she wrote a book and if you're interested, you can
(02:02):
check it out at Kamala Harris on Twitter at Kamala
Harris on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Just over a year ago, I launched my campaign for
president of the United States, one hundred and seven days
traveling the country, fighting for our future. The shortest presidential
campaign in modern history. It was intense, high stakes, and
deeply personal for me and for so.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Many of you.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Since leaving office, I've spent a lot of time reflecting
on those days, talking with my team, my family, my friends,
and pulling my thoughts together. In essence, writing a journal
that is this book one hundred and seven Days. With
candor and reflection, I've written a behind the scenes account
(02:49):
of that journey. I believe there's value in sharing what
I saw, what I learned, and what I know it
will take to move forward. This book, one truth kept
coming back to me. Sometimes the fight takes a while, ah,
but I remain full of hope and I remain clear eyed.
(03:12):
I will never stop fighting to make our country reflect
the very best of its ideals. Always on behalf of
the people. So thank you for being in this fight
with me. I am forever grateful and I cannot wait
for you to read this and I'll see you out there.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
Take care.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
September is when this book comes out. It's available for
presale right now on Amazon. The Guy, the chief executive
officer of the publishing company said that this this book
captures the drama of running for president better than just
about anything I've read. It's one of the best works
of political nonfiction Simon and Schuster has ever published. It's
(03:54):
an eyewitness contribution to history and an extraordinary story. Well,
she says, it's not a recap of the presidential race.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Those are her words.
Speaker 9 (04:06):
She said.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's not a recap of the race.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
She said, writing one hundred and seven days felt like
having felt like living the campaign in reverse, rewinding each
moment and experiencing it all over again. Behind every speech
I gave, every hand I shook, and every story I
told on the road, there were deeper layers, quiet reflections
and lessons learned. I would love to hear what some
of her staff members had said. Remember, her Vice President's
(04:32):
office was beset with people leaving left and right, and
the stories that would come out, some of them sourced,
some of them not sourced, would talk about what an
awful boss she was and that she was hard to
work for, very hard to work for. I'm curious to
see what the reaction is going to be from some
(04:53):
of those people who may or may not show up
in that book. By the way, I don't know what
to make of this, but she's doing an interview with
Stephen Colbert. It's going to be her first interview since
his announcement that the show is going to be canceled
after our ending. I guess is the better way to
put it. After the season is over sometime in May.
(05:16):
But she is doing an interview with Stephen Colbert. You're
interested in ordering that book for your friends or your enemies,
you can do so on Amazon. Up next, the Encino
Casino Gilbert AARRAINUS former basketball star, arrested in connection with
a bunch of high stakes poker games in Encino.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Live from a different time zone and a different century.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah. I was gonna say, what is this radio from
nineteen seventy four?
Speaker 9 (05:54):
Holy hell?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I heard there is hot rectum talk on this show,
So I think you've heard. I was listening to the
whole show and I heard you do like ten minutes
on rectum stuff. Yeah, people, And I thought, what am
I missing out on?
Speaker 9 (06:09):
I've got to get in on this hot rectum talk.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, Well you could have said something earlier. You could
have said no rectum talk today.
Speaker 9 (06:15):
But well, I sent a text.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I dipped my toe in the pool and I said,
I see we're leaning into some rectum talk.
Speaker 9 (06:25):
But yeah, you're right. I remained silent. I just let
that go.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And and maybe there's a reason why we had technical
problems that I missed it.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Maybe it was maybe it was a message you needed
to hear, you guys.
Speaker 9 (06:37):
This is why we pay taxes.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I am in the booth here above Tom Benson Hall
of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, for the Hall of
Fame game, obviously the official start of the NFL season.
I'll be at the preseason, but this is how we
start the football year every year. And my god, it
is raining. It's windy. It's been grace, guys, all all
(07:00):
day long. This is why we pay the taxes.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Is it warm, No, it is, it's.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Cold, it's rainy. It's July. I just posted a video
from the booth here. But man, it is great.
Speaker 9 (07:14):
I do love the people of Ohio.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You will not find an unfriendly person in Cleveland or
Ohio that I have ever met.
Speaker 9 (07:23):
Lovely people here.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Were they with security rough with you today?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Were they?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Man, We just.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Got here really early, and so nothing was set up.
Security wasn't set up getting in. There was some communication lapses,
we didn't have our equipment.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
But everything is good.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
You're wondering why is it called Tom Benson Hall of
Fame Stadium. You're wondering, as Tom Benson, like George hallis
figure Tom Benson? What did he do? Why is he
important to the NFL enough for him to be the
namesake of the Hall of Fame stadium? Here the Hall
of Fame, I can see it just in a distance there. No,
(08:04):
it's money. He gave a millions of dollars to this stadium,
and that's why it has his name. He was the
owner of the New Orleans Saints for a time. He
was a Chevy car dealership guy for a time. But
he has no major significance in the National Football League
other than giving like eleven million dollars.
Speaker 9 (08:22):
To this stadium. Wow, well that's probably some sort of
tax shelter.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's It's unusual because you don't see a lot of
naming rights like that going to individuals.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
You see it go to corporations.
Speaker 9 (08:33):
Exactly why I was, like, who is Tom Benson. Well,
very disappointed when I found out.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
If you're given money to UH to USC or something
like that, they'll name a wing of a building after you,
or a research center or something.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
But football stadium is an interesting way to go. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I mean, well, there's no university here in Can't Ohio.
Here is there's uh, let's see what do I see here?
Speaker 9 (09:00):
Listen? There's not much in Canton, Ohio? All right? I
see a circle k across the freeway.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh and you guys, because you're staying not in Canton.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
We stayed in Cleveland last night, which is about an
hour and change away. Canton, Ohio is very small. It's
basically a field next to the freeway.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
You'll see it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I posted on Instagram story there and there there's a
circle k. Is that a McDonald's in the disc Nope,
that's another circle k. We've got two circle k's, one
on each side of the freeway here.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Can I did find a school if you're looking to
update your secondary education?
Speaker 9 (09:38):
Are there are my education?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Malone University home of the Fighting Pioneers. Is it Division two?
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Division two?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
But you're right, I don't there's I'm looking at a
map of Canton and it's not very big.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, this is it. This is the hub where I'm
where I'm at right now.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
But well, and the plan, I mean, at least the
way it stands right now. There's plenty of hours between
now and then, but the plan is for you to
be back here tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah. The game will kick off here at eight pm
local time. We're three hours difference right now. And yeah,
probably get out here around a nine to eleven midnight,
get to the plane about one four hour, four and
a half hour flight back. I'll get in in the
middle of the night. I'll sleep for a couple hours
and roll in there tomorrow morning.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
It's what we do.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
It's what we do on this show and football season,
and it adds for a little fun.
Speaker 9 (10:31):
I mean, no, sleep is more fun. We don't know
what's going to happen tomorrow, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Well, I did. I don't know if you heard that part.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I think we can officially declare tomorrow pajamas Friday, right,
I did.
Speaker 9 (10:41):
Hear that part.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I didn't know where you were going with it, and
then I thought, oh, yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
He's doing that for me. That's nice. I am done.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, No, no, no, Remember we did pajamas that one day
during COVID and we are all there in soft pants
and it felt odd.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
We don't like to talk about the dark times, so
I don't think that's a good idea to bring that up.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
We don't need our dark meats and soft pants. Okay,
I'll just say that.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That is uh, that is gross and uh oh, you'll
be happy to know.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I golfed yesterday.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
Tell me more.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I played with my friend and his son and his
son's friend, and the four of us went, I do
nine hole.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
No, we did eighteen.
Speaker 9 (11:21):
You did eighteen? What time was your tea?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Three fifteen?
Speaker 9 (11:25):
Oh, my goodness, so you were out there late.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
It was well, it was late, But I'm telling you
there's something poetic. There's something great about your you know,
teeing up on the eighteenth at sunset, Yeah, twenty minutes
before sunset.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It was beautiful.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
It fall was really great. It was a good and
it's n Did you do poor?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Very poor?
Speaker 9 (11:44):
That's okay.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I broke a hundred, which is nice. I mean under
one hundred for those oh, okay, which is nice. But
I had a couple of a couple of pretty strong
pars that I was very proud.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Of Wow, I feel very impressive.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I had a feeling that you would be great it
right away, just because you're very focused and you're athletic,
and you are if you're gonna do something, you're gonna
do it well, and you're gonna do it well right away,
you know what. But that's gonna change, gonna you're gonna suck.
You're gonna go through periods of days when you go
out there and it's not as magical, and it's gonna
(12:19):
be sunset and you're gonna want to kill yourself basically
and throw yourself into the flaming sun because there are
holes that day where you know it's been six or
seven and you just said, you know, don't even write
a number for me. Yeah, but I'm glad you have
that experience.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Well.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
And there's something weird about this, the way you picking
up anything. Picking up my wife has started sewing with
a sewing machine, hobbies, habits, whatever it is, you pick
it up, You're overwhelmed with information about that thing now,
whatever it is. And I mean already I've noticed that
(12:55):
when I log onto YouTube or something like that, my
algorithm has changed completely. So now I have how to
fix your slice, how to add forty yards to your drive,
how to put blindfold it like all all of it
is for some I think I looked up one thing
on golf clubs, and now it's I can't get away
from golf.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And there's so many things to think of it once.
Now you know what it's like to dance ballet. You
have to think of everything all the time. Miss Pictures
just says belly bottom back, you know, And you've got
to think about that when you're golfing too, belly bottom back.
What are all those things doing? You got to get
them in line, body base.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Your elbows, your hips, your ankles, Yeah, keep your head down.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
The hips will f you from time to time.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Breathe through the eyes. All of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Breathing through the eye things a little odd, you know,
it's very reptilian.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
Reptiles do that.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I don't think anybody does that.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
All right, when we come back, we'll get into this
story about Gilbert Arnus being arrested. Foreigner athletes, I mean
current athletes in some cases can I get away from.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I really really want to get to the stripper caltrans story.
That's basically what I told, you know, rich here, I said,
I got to get on the air to do the
stripper story because that's all I've wanted to talk about
all day long.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
We'll do that before the hour.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
R What kind of stripper shows up to a cal
Trans party is the first question?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
And is she wearing one of the orange vests? Maybe
for a while, but not for the whole thing.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I've heard I've seen headlines that people don't like his concerts.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
No, I haven't. Then I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
He has lime disease. Oh really, he just announced he
has lime disease.
Speaker 9 (14:40):
It's a bad year.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Seemed a little excited about.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Really he does?
Speaker 9 (14:44):
Yeah you did. You're like, oh, that's a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah, it's a bad lime It's a bad tick year,
particularly bad year for ticks and tickborn diseases. There are
at least lime disease being hardly the only serious tick
related disease, or at least five dangerous pathogens circulating in
deer ticks alone.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
But uh, yeah, lime.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Disease, arthritis, fatigue, muscle joint aches, neurological problems, heart problems,
the regular heartbeats, dizziness, fainting, all of it.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
It's no fun.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Can you get rid of it? I mean I don't.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
I don't think so. I think it can.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I think it can go and waves like it flares
up from time.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
I don't know. I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
You aren't.
Speaker 9 (15:35):
I am not.
Speaker 10 (15:35):
I know.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
Shocking.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Shannon's live in Canton, Ohio today at the the National
Football Hall of Fame, the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I should say to be correct because.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
I'm sad and I have to report on a.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Football game tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Of course, the Pro Football Hall of Fame game.
Speaker 9 (15:54):
Was I ever complaining about it? I don't pick out o.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
No, but the are taking on the Detroit Lions. This
is the first game of the preseason.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
No. I am more than happy to be here. This
is awesome, except for the rain. I don't care about
the rain. It'll stop by the time the game starts.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Former NBA star Gilbert Rainus has been arrested, accused by
the Department of Justice of being part of a high
stakes illegal gambling ring that was run out of the
homes that he apparently owns here in California.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You do this, you have illegal poker games all the time.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yes, I do not do them an encino, they're sanctioned.
I know that they are not sanctioned. What makes them different.
You can have a poker game at your house, you
can't collect a rake, which is basically, if you're doing
a home game like that, it's a fee to use
your house. You got to just do it to be friendly.
A rake in a casino would be basically you're renting
(16:51):
their table and the dealer takes a portion of every pot,
whether it's a buck or depending on how the big
the pot is, they may take more than that whatever
it is.
Speaker 9 (17:01):
Yeah, we all saw Molly's game when not work.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, exactly. This is very similar to that. Arenas, three
time All Star, played eleven seasons in the NBA, most popularly,
I guess you could say, with the Washington Wizards. According
to the indictment, he had been directing a fifty one
year old guy named Arthur Katz to stage these games,
and he would then prepare the home apparently the one
(17:24):
Ensino collect rent from the other individuals accused of being
involved in the scheme of Gainey Tshki a bunch of
names wouldn't matter, and then manage the illegal gambling that
was being done at the home. All of the other
people involved are facing conspiracy charges conspiracy to operate an
illegal gambling business and then also operating an illegal illegal
(17:46):
gambling DOJ accused the defendants of collecting money off of
each prize pot. Like I said, the rake inviting people
to play in the games, hiring young women, I would
assume they were attractive to serve drinks, provide massages, and
offer quote companionship to the people playing in the game.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Why did you say that, I assume they were attractive.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
Why does that matter?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
And I will say this, I'll preface that comment with
I watched the Jeffrey Epstein documentary on the plane yesterday
just to familiarize myself with what we do know about
what he was doing with young messuses. So that's where
my mind is currently. I watched two episodes of that
back to back.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Well, you know, how to make a plane ride make
feel even longer?
Speaker 9 (18:31):
Geez No, I mean, I listen.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's been in the news now for three weeks, NonStop
every day, and I did not dive into what all
the Jeffrey Epstein stuff was because it's gross. So I
want to know what we're talking about here, the particulars
of what we know he did, what he was actually
accused of and convicted of.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
Yeah, and it's it's like you just said, you know,
they have.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Easy bring in these young women, and you know what,
sometimes they were attractive, sometimes not so much.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
It didn't matter. What mattered is that they were young
in his case.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
But you know, but now that we're talking about it,
I think we should start charging for the poker games
in your home.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
We we should, well, I guess we shouldn't talk about
it publicly that the royal No, you know what the
last one we did when when Mark Thompson was there,
Conway was supposed to be there, Chris Little was there.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
I mean shoes on or off?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
For oh, Mark was the only one who took a
shoes off, if that's what you're asking, which was unusual.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
But I don't think I ever told that to you.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
So it's weird that you would dream about his feet
without having that knowledge.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
Checks out, man.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
It was also weird that my dog was licking his
feet under the table.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
That's all.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
No, No, it's weirdough.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
This house, by the way, Gilbert Aranus's house over in
Encino was rated back in the early hours of July twentieth,
twenty twenty two, Homeland Security investigators seized money that was
found in the master bedroom. He Ranus then attempted to
get that money back by filing a petition with the
Customs Border Protection Office prosecutor see Arranus falsely told them
(20:12):
that he was not involved in the gambling that was
taking place at the home. He reiterated that, saying he
had nothing to do with it, based on a post
on Instagram of him dancing down a flight of stairs.
A caption that was posted along with a video of
a guy dancing said this ain't got s to do
with me. Just rented the house, wasn't part of the festivities.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
He's apparently turned to rhyming as a way.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
That's what you say when the cops roll up and
they see Mark Thompson's naked feet out and the cash
is just everywhere and everywhere, chips are littered the floor,
and you just say, hey, I just I rented this
place out for the festivities.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
I did not take part.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
The young women and their companionship all over the place.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Mmmm M yeah, Okay, so it wasn't just a col
trans party. It was a retirement party that this stripper
was at. I mean, the story just keeps getting better
with every new detail.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Shannon's live in Canton, Ohio for the Pro Football Hall
of Fame game tonight.
Speaker 10 (21:24):
Hey, Shannon, don't forget to tell everybody that the power
polls on either side of the highway by the stadium
are goal posts. It's really cool. I've driven by there
a bunch of times. Let everybody get that picture in
their head.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Is that true? They're goalposts?
Speaker 9 (21:42):
No, I'm not sure what he's referring to. Got eyes
on the goal posts?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah? No, they are the power poles outside.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
The stadium, which I don't know if you could see
them from where you are or how enclosed the stadium
itself is.
Speaker 9 (21:55):
But I'm looking at power poles outside the stadium.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, they don't appear to look like goalposts, but you know,
it could be different. They could be different power poles
that I'm not privy to from my vantage point.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Well, we've got.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Plenty of time to explore before kickoff tonight just after
five o'clock we don't, Oh, we don'ty good morning.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
You too, hey, Shannon sh Gary spent the first hour
of the show.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
He even ignored the earthquake and tried to convince us
for thirty minutes that Jeffrey Epstein didn't matter. So we
don't want anybody to, you know, go watch the documentary
or her focus too much on what.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
You spent thirty minutes listening to the show.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I didn't hear that.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
You didn't hear it because I didn't do that. But
I also didn't ignore the earthquake. I was the first
one to yell out the word earthquake when it hit.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Well, I didn't get a full report on how Debra's doing,
and that was my.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
First We have not checked in with her just yet, Deborah,
why not? Well because it was It wasn't even where
you were close to her.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
My first rule is check your Debra well.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
Actually when I walked when I walked in, Michelle said,
did you feel it?
Speaker 9 (23:01):
I said, wait, wait, when?
Speaker 12 (23:02):
Where or what I was driving? So fortunately I did not.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
See That's that's the other problem with checking with your
debor is if there is an instance where she didn't
feel it, like today, all we do is generate anxiety
in you when it doesn't need to be there.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
Well, she put it in her newscast.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I was going to.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Say, She's like, I did not feel it, Like she
used her news voice here, She's like, I did.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Not feel it in other news for people died today.
Speaker 10 (23:30):
I know.
Speaker 12 (23:32):
It is very anxiety provoking for me. I need I
need to go, I need to go talk to him.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Well, I mean there's something to it though, because this
is not just an isolated incident. There's been a swarm
of earthquakes in the Inland Empires. Yes, this is the
strongest one. And I don't know what Lucy would say
about that, but.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (23:49):
I just don't want to bother her, you know. I
think it's just it's just the right time.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And I'm not sure you need to see a geologist
or a seismologist. I think you need to see a doctor,
I mean, not a.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Doctor of psychologists.
Speaker 9 (24:01):
Yes, that dark idea.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Who maybe specializes or dabbles in geology and seismology.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Maybe theology.
Speaker 9 (24:09):
This is what they're going to tell me.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Calm down, that's what they're gonna tell You're.
Speaker 12 (24:11):
Going to say there is going to be a big
earthquake at some point, and you may die, you may not.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Your house may fall apart, it may not. Your family
members may die, they may not. You know, none of
us know. I would assume.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I would assume that there's going to be an earthquake
and most of us are going to die.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
Most of the people that we love are going to die.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Everything's going to fall down, there's going to be no
roads and no food. Just expect that and then you'll
be fine. That's what I do. I expect the worst.
And then when you get a four point four in
the ie, you're like, all right, yeah, way fantana, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (24:42):
But you're thinking that four point four is going to
turn into it, maybe an eight point eight like in Russia.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Sometimes I do.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Gary's seen my face where the shaking begins that we
feel there in the studio, and I look at him like,
is it is this?
Speaker 9 (24:54):
It is this going to be the one? And then
it's nothing. It's like it's a three three, Yeah No.
Speaker 12 (24:58):
But those are all pret cursed. I'm not trying to
put it out there, but I mean the.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
One in Russia was on the Ring of fire. And
we're all connected.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
We are all connected, Yes, we are now.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
See, we've run out of time for my supper story.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
I'm not doing this in two minutes.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Okay, I've got a I've got a lot of minutes
to spend on the stripper story.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
That's that's fine. We have some more talkbacks to get
right anyway, Okay, like this one.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Oh yeah, I'm happy to hear that shed and made
it safely there. It's Gary Shennon live Heart Radio.
Speaker 10 (25:30):
I'm so happy as a clam at high tide.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
It's going to be a good day.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yes, there was he being sarcastic, like he doesn't care
at all.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
That were no idea broad us together hard to figure out.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
I just want to welcome you to Canton. I'm literally

don't have time to check out the goalpost lights.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
I see a church in the distance. It appears to
be a church. I guess it could be a school
in a church. Uh, looks like a nice beautiful brick building. Oh,
I see a ferris wheel. There is a ferris wheel.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Really yeah, I don't know what that's all about, but

Speaker 3 (26:36):
He didn't say it.
Speaker 12 (26:37):
If he does, Hey, Gary, Gilbert arenas Z do you
happen to know if he was serving a sroke vodka?
Speaker 9 (26:47):

Speaker 9 (26:51):
What Arenas?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
What does that have to do with?
Speaker 9 (26:55):
Think you said it wrong?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
You said his last name wrong, Gilbert Arranus, it's Arena why?
Speaker 9 (27:02):
Because that's just the way that man name.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
So every time I mispronounced something, the guy's going to
bring back the seroque vodka, yeah, or or whatever I
call it.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
You're serious about his vodka, no kidding.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
And specifically that brand right which.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
Mis pronouncing other vodkas.

I have no idea, Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I get confused about everybody in their brands of tequila's
and vodka's, and everyone's got a brand of liquor.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
He is splits the prophets from Saque Vodka, however you
say it between himself and the beverage maker Diagio Sorac.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Raq. Okay, again, not my brain.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Gilbert Arenas Arenas drinks Sirac vodka.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I don't know if that man drinks Saraka vodka. I
don't want to get a defamation lawsuit. Maybe he's, you know,
a tequila guy. Maybe he likes jin I don't know.
You know what if he hits us with a letter
from his attorney that says he's a tangare guy.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, I'm sure that that attorney's going to write that
up right away. All right, So we have swamp watch
to get to. We have some health stuff to get to.
We will be getting to our cal trans stripper fueled
retirement party a little bit later in.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
You've been listening to The Gary Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
We are following a big, well, probably a story. This
happens to be a little earthquake that hit about a
half an hour ago.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Oh that was a nice little shake. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
I'm here in Marietta sitting on the couch listening to
Gary and waiting for Shannon, and my little couch and
my whole table and everything was lit wobbly.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
So yeah, I felt that you guys have a great day.
Thank you. Come on, Shannon, get on there. She will Jesse.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We're still working on the tech, but she'll be in
in just a second. From Canton, Ohio. Earthquake has now,
but they've done that. They went from four point six
to four point two to four point five right now.
USGS says that earthquake in the Rialito area was said
a four point three and there have been a few
aftershocks as a as a result. I mentioned that doctor
Lucy Jones, Seismologist extraordinaire, held a media briefing just a
(00:59):
short time ago as well, and she said, this is
my favorite part about her.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It's just an average earthquake.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Nine magnitude fours within the very close to this location
or eight since nineteen ninety and one in twenty fourteen,
twenty fifteen, twenty four and of course the one we
just had. So sort of the definition of your average
(01:25):
southern California earthquakes.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Perfect, that's the way we like to keep it. Hey, Gary,
I hope you're having a good day. Yes, Shannon, you're
really quiet day.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Are you getting in trouble as a studio telling you
how to talk to so much anymore?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
What's going on? Did you're go on one day and
you come back and now you're all quiet? Something wrong?
So I need to talk with my heart.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We are hooking it up some technical issues. But Shannon's
going to join the show here from Canton, Ohio just
a couple of minutes. Told you yesterday that Kamala Harris
dropped out. She is not going to be running for
governor in twenty twenty six. She has announced, however, that
she wrote a book and if you're interested, you can
(02:02):
check it out at Kamala Harris on Twitter at Kamala
Harris on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Just over a year ago, I launched my campaign for
president of the United States, one hundred and seven days
traveling the country, fighting for our future. The shortest presidential
campaign in modern history. It was intense, high stakes, and
deeply personal for me and for so.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
Many of you.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Since leaving office, I've spent a lot of time reflecting
on those days, talking with my team, my family, my friends,
and pulling my thoughts together. In essence, writing a journal
that is this book one hundred and seven Days. With
candor and reflection, I've written a behind the scenes account
(02:49):
of that journey. I believe there's value in sharing what
I saw, what I learned, and what I know it
will take to move forward. This book, one truth kept
coming back to me. Sometimes the fight takes a while, ah,
but I remain full of hope and I remain clear eyed.
(03:12):
I will never stop fighting to make our country reflect
the very best of its ideals. Always on behalf of
the people. So thank you for being in this fight
with me. I am forever grateful and I cannot wait
for you to read this and I'll see you out there.
Speaker 8 (03:30):
Take care.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
September is when this book comes out. It's available for
presale right now on Amazon. The Guy, the chief executive
officer of the publishing company said that this this book
captures the drama of running for president better than just
about anything I've read. It's one of the best works
of political nonfiction Simon and Schuster has ever published. It's
(03:54):
an eyewitness contribution to history and an extraordinary story. Well,
she says, it's not a recap of the presidential race.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Those are her words.
Speaker 9 (04:06):
She said.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's not a recap of the race.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
She said, writing one hundred and seven days felt like
having felt like living the campaign in reverse, rewinding each
moment and experiencing it all over again. Behind every speech
I gave, every hand I shook, and every story I
told on the road, there were deeper layers, quiet reflections
and lessons learned. I would love to hear what some
of her staff members had said. Remember, her Vice President's
(04:32):
office was beset with people leaving left and right, and
the stories that would come out, some of them sourced,
some of them not sourced, would talk about what an
awful boss she was and that she was hard to
work for, very hard to work for. I'm curious to
see what the reaction is going to be from some
(04:53):
of those people who may or may not show up
in that book. By the way, I don't know what
to make of this, but she's doing an interview with
Stephen Colbert. It's going to be her first interview since
his announcement that the show is going to be canceled
after our ending. I guess is the better way to
put it. After the season is over sometime in May.
(05:16):
But she is doing an interview with Stephen Colbert. You're
interested in ordering that book for your friends or your enemies,
you can do so on Amazon. Up next, the Encino
Casino Gilbert AARRAINUS former basketball star, arrested in connection with
a bunch of high stakes poker games in Encino.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Live from a different time zone and a different century.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah. I was gonna say, what is this radio from
nineteen seventy four?
Speaker 9 (05:54):
Holy hell?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I heard there is hot rectum talk on this show,
So I think you've heard. I was listening to the
whole show and I heard you do like ten minutes
on rectum stuff. Yeah, people, And I thought, what am
I missing out on?
Speaker 9 (06:09):
I've got to get in on this hot rectum talk.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, Well you could have said something earlier. You could
have said no rectum talk today.
Speaker 9 (06:15):
But well, I sent a text.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I dipped my toe in the pool and I said,
I see we're leaning into some rectum talk.
Speaker 9 (06:25):
But yeah, you're right. I remained silent. I just let
that go.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And and maybe there's a reason why we had technical
problems that I missed it.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Maybe it was maybe it was a message you needed
to hear, you guys.
Speaker 9 (06:37):
This is why we pay taxes.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I am in the booth here above Tom Benson Hall
of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, for the Hall of
Fame game, obviously the official start of the NFL season.
I'll be at the preseason, but this is how we
start the football year every year. And my god, it
is raining. It's windy. It's been grace, guys, all all
(07:00):
day long. This is why we pay the taxes.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Is it warm, No, it is, it's.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Cold, it's rainy. It's July. I just posted a video
from the booth here. But man, it is great.
Speaker 9 (07:14):
I do love the people of Ohio.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You will not find an unfriendly person in Cleveland or
Ohio that I have ever met.
Speaker 9 (07:23):
Lovely people here.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Were they with security rough with you today?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Were they?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Man, We just.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Got here really early, and so nothing was set up.
Security wasn't set up getting in. There was some communication lapses,
we didn't have our equipment.
Speaker 9 (07:40):
But everything is good.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
You're wondering why is it called Tom Benson Hall of
Fame Stadium. You're wondering, as Tom Benson, like George hallis
figure Tom Benson? What did he do? Why is he
important to the NFL enough for him to be the
namesake of the Hall of Fame stadium? Here the Hall
of Fame, I can see it just in a distance there. No,
(08:04):
it's money. He gave a millions of dollars to this stadium,
and that's why it has his name. He was the
owner of the New Orleans Saints for a time. He
was a Chevy car dealership guy for a time. But
he has no major significance in the National Football League
other than giving like eleven million dollars.
Speaker 9 (08:22):
To this stadium. Wow, well that's probably some sort of
tax shelter.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's It's unusual because you don't see a lot of
naming rights like that going to individuals.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
You see it go to corporations.
Speaker 9 (08:33):
Exactly why I was, like, who is Tom Benson. Well,
very disappointed when I found out.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
If you're given money to UH to USC or something
like that, they'll name a wing of a building after you,
or a research center or something.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
But football stadium is an interesting way to go. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I mean, well, there's no university here in Can't Ohio.
Here is there's uh, let's see what do I see here?
Speaker 9 (09:00):
Listen? There's not much in Canton, Ohio? All right? I
see a circle k across the freeway.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh and you guys, because you're staying not in Canton.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
We stayed in Cleveland last night, which is about an
hour and change away. Canton, Ohio is very small. It's
basically a field next to the freeway.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
You'll see it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I posted on Instagram story there and there there's a
circle k. Is that a McDonald's in the disc Nope,
that's another circle k. We've got two circle k's, one
on each side of the freeway here.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Can I did find a school if you're looking to
update your secondary education?
Speaker 9 (09:38):
Are there are my education?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Malone University home of the Fighting Pioneers. Is it Division two?
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Division two?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
But you're right, I don't there's I'm looking at a
map of Canton and it's not very big.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, this is it. This is the hub where I'm
where I'm at right now.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
But well, and the plan, I mean, at least the
way it stands right now. There's plenty of hours between
now and then, but the plan is for you to
be back here tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah. The game will kick off here at eight pm
local time. We're three hours difference right now. And yeah,
probably get out here around a nine to eleven midnight,
get to the plane about one four hour, four and
a half hour flight back. I'll get in in the
middle of the night. I'll sleep for a couple hours
and roll in there tomorrow morning.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
It's what we do.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
It's what we do on this show and football season,
and it adds for a little fun.
Speaker 9 (10:31):
I mean, no, sleep is more fun. We don't know
what's going to happen tomorrow, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Well, I did. I don't know if you heard that part.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I think we can officially declare tomorrow pajamas Friday, right,
I did.
Speaker 9 (10:41):
Hear that part.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I didn't know where you were going with it, and
then I thought, oh, yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
He's doing that for me. That's nice. I am done.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, No, no, no, Remember we did pajamas that one day
during COVID and we are all there in soft pants
and it felt odd.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
We don't like to talk about the dark times, so
I don't think that's a good idea to bring that up.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
We don't need our dark meats and soft pants. Okay,
I'll just say that.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That is uh, that is gross and uh oh, you'll
be happy to know.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I golfed yesterday.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
Tell me more.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I played with my friend and his son and his
son's friend, and the four of us went, I do
nine hole.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
No, we did eighteen.
Speaker 9 (11:21):
You did eighteen? What time was your tea?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Three fifteen?
Speaker 9 (11:25):
Oh, my goodness, so you were out there late.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
It was well, it was late, But I'm telling you
there's something poetic. There's something great about your you know,
teeing up on the eighteenth at sunset, Yeah, twenty minutes
before sunset.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It was beautiful.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
It fall was really great. It was a good and
it's n Did you do poor?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Very poor?
Speaker 9 (11:44):
That's okay.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I broke a hundred, which is nice. I mean under
one hundred for those oh, okay, which is nice. But
I had a couple of a couple of pretty strong
pars that I was very proud.
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Of Wow, I feel very impressive.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
I had a feeling that you would be great it
right away, just because you're very focused and you're athletic,
and you are if you're gonna do something, you're gonna
do it well, and you're gonna do it well right away,
you know what. But that's gonna change, gonna you're gonna suck.
You're gonna go through periods of days when you go
out there and it's not as magical, and it's gonna
(12:19):
be sunset and you're gonna want to kill yourself basically
and throw yourself into the flaming sun because there are
holes that day where you know it's been six or
seven and you just said, you know, don't even write
a number for me. Yeah, but I'm glad you have
that experience.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Well.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
And there's something weird about this, the way you picking
up anything. Picking up my wife has started sewing with
a sewing machine, hobbies, habits, whatever it is, you pick
it up, You're overwhelmed with information about that thing now,
whatever it is. And I mean already I've noticed that
(12:55):
when I log onto YouTube or something like that, my
algorithm has changed completely. So now I have how to
fix your slice, how to add forty yards to your drive,
how to put blindfold it like all all of it
is for some I think I looked up one thing
on golf clubs, and now it's I can't get away
from golf.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And there's so many things to think of it once.
Now you know what it's like to dance ballet. You
have to think of everything all the time. Miss Pictures
just says belly bottom back, you know, And you've got
to think about that when you're golfing too, belly bottom back.
What are all those things doing? You got to get
them in line, body base.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Your elbows, your hips, your ankles, Yeah, keep your head down.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
The hips will f you from time to time.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Breathe through the eyes. All of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Breathing through the eye things a little odd, you know,
it's very reptilian.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
Reptiles do that.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I don't think anybody does that.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
All right, when we come back, we'll get into this
story about Gilbert Arnus being arrested. Foreigner athletes, I mean
current athletes in some cases can I get away from.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I really really want to get to the stripper caltrans story.
That's basically what I told, you know, rich here, I said,
I got to get on the air to do the
stripper story because that's all I've wanted to talk about
all day long.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
We'll do that before the hour.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
R What kind of stripper shows up to a cal
Trans party is the first question?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
And is she wearing one of the orange vests? Maybe
for a while, but not for the whole thing.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I've heard I've seen headlines that people don't like his concerts.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
No, I haven't. Then I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
He has lime disease. Oh really, he just announced he
has lime disease.
Speaker 9 (14:40):
It's a bad year.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Seemed a little excited about.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Really he does?
Speaker 9 (14:44):
Yeah you did. You're like, oh, that's a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah, it's a bad lime It's a bad tick year,
particularly bad year for ticks and tickborn diseases. There are
at least lime disease being hardly the only serious tick
related disease, or at least five dangerous pathogens circulating in
deer ticks alone.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
But uh, yeah, lime.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Disease, arthritis, fatigue, muscle joint aches, neurological problems, heart problems,
the regular heartbeats, dizziness, fainting, all of it.
Speaker 9 (15:21):
It's no fun.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Can you get rid of it? I mean I don't.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
I don't think so. I think it can.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I think it can go and waves like it flares
up from time.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
I don't know. I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
You aren't.
Speaker 9 (15:35):
I am not.
Speaker 10 (15:35):
I know.
Speaker 9 (15:36):
Shocking.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Shannon's live in Canton, Ohio today at the the National
Football Hall of Fame, the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I should say to be correct because.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
I'm sad and I have to report on a.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Football game tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Of course, the Pro Football Hall of Fame game.
Speaker 9 (15:54):
Was I ever complaining about it? I don't pick out o.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
No, but the are taking on the Detroit Lions. This
is the first game of the preseason.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
No. I am more than happy to be here. This
is awesome, except for the rain. I don't care about
the rain. It'll stop by the time the game starts.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Former NBA star Gilbert Rainus has been arrested, accused by
the Department of Justice of being part of a high
stakes illegal gambling ring that was run out of the
homes that he apparently owns here in California.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You do this, you have illegal poker games all the time.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yes, I do not do them an encino, they're sanctioned.
I know that they are not sanctioned. What makes them different.
You can have a poker game at your house, you
can't collect a rake, which is basically, if you're doing
a home game like that, it's a fee to use
your house. You got to just do it to be friendly.
A rake in a casino would be basically you're renting
(16:51):
their table and the dealer takes a portion of every pot,
whether it's a buck or depending on how the big
the pot is, they may take more than that whatever
it is.
Speaker 9 (17:01):
Yeah, we all saw Molly's game when not work.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah, exactly. This is very similar to that. Arenas, three
time All Star, played eleven seasons in the NBA, most popularly,
I guess you could say, with the Washington Wizards. According
to the indictment, he had been directing a fifty one
year old guy named Arthur Katz to stage these games,
and he would then prepare the home apparently the one
(17:24):
Ensino collect rent from the other individuals accused of being
involved in the scheme of Gainey Tshki a bunch of
names wouldn't matter, and then manage the illegal gambling that
was being done at the home. All of the other
people involved are facing conspiracy charges conspiracy to operate an
illegal gambling business and then also operating an illegal illegal
(17:46):
gambling DOJ accused the defendants of collecting money off of
each prize pot. Like I said, the rake inviting people
to play in the games, hiring young women, I would
assume they were attractive to serve drinks, provide massages, and
offer quote companionship to the people playing in the game.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Why did you say that, I assume they were attractive.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
Why does that matter?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
And I will say this, I'll preface that comment with
I watched the Jeffrey Epstein documentary on the plane yesterday
just to familiarize myself with what we do know about
what he was doing with young messuses. So that's where
my mind is currently. I watched two episodes of that
back to back.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Well, you know, how to make a plane ride make
feel even longer?
Speaker 9 (18:31):
Geez No, I mean, I listen.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's been in the news now for three weeks, NonStop
every day, and I did not dive into what all
the Jeffrey Epstein stuff was because it's gross. So I
want to know what we're talking about here, the particulars
of what we know he did, what he was actually
accused of and convicted of.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
Yeah, and it's it's like you just said, you know,
they have.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Easy bring in these young women, and you know what,
sometimes they were attractive, sometimes not so much.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
It didn't matter. What mattered is that they were young
in his case.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
But you know, but now that we're talking about it,
I think we should start charging for the poker games
in your home.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
We we should, well, I guess we shouldn't talk about
it publicly that the royal No, you know what the
last one we did when when Mark Thompson was there,
Conway was supposed to be there, Chris Little was there.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
I mean shoes on or off?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
For oh, Mark was the only one who took a
shoes off, if that's what you're asking, which was unusual.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
But I don't think I ever told that to you.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
So it's weird that you would dream about his feet
without having that knowledge.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
Checks out, man.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
It was also weird that my dog was licking his
feet under the table.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
That's all.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
No, No, it's weirdough.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
This house, by the way, Gilbert Aranus's house over in
Encino was rated back in the early hours of July twentieth,
twenty twenty two, Homeland Security investigators seized money that was
found in the master bedroom. He Ranus then attempted to
get that money back by filing a petition with the
Customs Border Protection Office prosecutor see Arranus falsely told them
(20:12):
that he was not involved in the gambling that was
taking place at the home. He reiterated that, saying he
had nothing to do with it, based on a post
on Instagram of him dancing down a flight of stairs.
A caption that was posted along with a video of
a guy dancing said this ain't got s to do
with me. Just rented the house, wasn't part of the festivities.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
He's apparently turned to rhyming as a way.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
That's what you say when the cops roll up and
they see Mark Thompson's naked feet out and the cash
is just everywhere and everywhere, chips are littered the floor,
and you just say, hey, I just I rented this
place out for the festivities.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
I did not take part.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
The young women and their companionship all over the place.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Mmmm M yeah, Okay, so it wasn't just a col
trans party. It was a retirement party that this stripper
was at. I mean, the story just keeps getting better
with every new detail.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Shannon's live in Canton, Ohio for the Pro Football Hall
of Fame game tonight.
Speaker 10 (21:24):
Hey, Shannon, don't forget to tell everybody that the power
polls on either side of the highway by the stadium
are goal posts. It's really cool. I've driven by there
a bunch of times. Let everybody get that picture in
their head.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Is that true? They're goalposts?
Speaker 9 (21:42):
No, I'm not sure what he's referring to. Got eyes
on the goal posts?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah? No, they are the power poles outside.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
The stadium, which I don't know if you could see
them from where you are or how enclosed the stadium
itself is.
Speaker 9 (21:55):
But I'm looking at power poles outside the stadium.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, they don't appear to look like goalposts, but you know,
it could be different. They could be different power poles
that I'm not privy to from my vantage point.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Well, we've got.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Plenty of time to explore before kickoff tonight just after
five o'clock we don't, Oh, we don'ty good morning.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
You too, hey, Shannon sh Gary spent the first hour
of the show.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
He even ignored the earthquake and tried to convince us
for thirty minutes that Jeffrey Epstein didn't matter. So we
don't want anybody to, you know, go watch the documentary
or her focus too much on what.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
You spent thirty minutes listening to the show.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I didn't hear that.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
You didn't hear it because I didn't do that. But
I also didn't ignore the earthquake. I was the first
one to yell out the word earthquake when it hit.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Well, I didn't get a full report on how Debra's doing,
and that was my.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
First We have not checked in with her just yet, Deborah,
why not? Well because it was It wasn't even where
you were close to her.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
My first rule is check your Debra well.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
Actually when I walked when I walked in, Michelle said,
did you feel it?
Speaker 9 (23:01):
I said, wait, wait, when?
Speaker 12 (23:02):
Where or what I was driving? So fortunately I did not.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
See That's that's the other problem with checking with your
debor is if there is an instance where she didn't
feel it, like today, all we do is generate anxiety
in you when it doesn't need to be there.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
Well, she put it in her newscast.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I was going to.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Say, She's like, I did not feel it, Like she
used her news voice here, She's like, I did.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
Not feel it in other news for people died today.
Speaker 10 (23:30):
I know.
Speaker 12 (23:32):
It is very anxiety provoking for me. I need I
need to go, I need to go talk to him.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Well, I mean there's something to it though, because this
is not just an isolated incident. There's been a swarm
of earthquakes in the Inland Empires. Yes, this is the
strongest one. And I don't know what Lucy would say
about that, but.
Speaker 9 (23:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (23:49):
I just don't want to bother her, you know. I
think it's just it's just the right time.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And I'm not sure you need to see a geologist
or a seismologist. I think you need to see a doctor,
I mean, not a.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Doctor of psychologists.
Speaker 9 (24:01):
Yes, that dark idea.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Who maybe specializes or dabbles in geology and seismology.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Maybe theology.
Speaker 9 (24:09):
This is what they're going to tell me.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Calm down, that's what they're gonna tell You're.
Speaker 12 (24:11):
Going to say there is going to be a big
earthquake at some point, and you may die, you may not.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Your house may fall apart, it may not. Your family
members may die, they may not. You know, none of
us know. I would assume.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I would assume that there's going to be an earthquake
and most of us are going to die.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
Most of the people that we love are going to die.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Everything's going to fall down, there's going to be no
roads and no food. Just expect that and then you'll
be fine. That's what I do. I expect the worst.
And then when you get a four point four in
the ie, you're like, all right, yeah, way fantana, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (24:42):
But you're thinking that four point four is going to
turn into it, maybe an eight point eight like in Russia.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Sometimes I do.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Gary's seen my face where the shaking begins that we
feel there in the studio, and I look at him like,
is it is this?
Speaker 9 (24:54):
It is this going to be the one? And then
it's nothing. It's like it's a three three, Yeah No.
Speaker 12 (24:58):
But those are all pret cursed. I'm not trying to
put it out there, but I mean the.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
One in Russia was on the Ring of fire. And
we're all connected.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
We are all connected, Yes, we are now.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
See, we've run out of time for my supper story.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
I'm not doing this in two minutes.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Okay, I've got a I've got a lot of minutes
to spend on the stripper story.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
That's that's fine. We have some more talkbacks to get
right anyway, Okay, like this one.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Oh yeah, I'm happy to hear that shed and made
it safely there. It's Gary Shennon live Heart Radio.
Speaker 10 (25:30):

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yes, there was he being sarcastic, like he doesn't care
at all.

don't have time to check out the goalpost lights.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
I see a church in the distance. It appears to
be a church. I guess it could be a school
in a church. Uh, looks like a nice beautiful brick building. Oh,
I see a ferris wheel. There is a ferris wheel.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Really yeah, I don't know what that's all about, but

Speaker 12 (26:37):
If he does, Hey, Gary, Gilbert arenas Z do you
happen to know if he was serving a sroke vodka?
Speaker 9 (26:47):

Speaker 9 (26:55):
Think you said it wrong?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
You said his last name wrong, Gilbert Arranus, it's Arena why?
Speaker 9 (27:02):
Because that's just the way that man name.
