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):
One week away from our News and Bruise that's coming
up on next Thursday. We're going to be at BJ's
Restaurant and brew House in West Covina.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I'm starting to get really excited about this News and
Bruce in West Covina a week from today. I originally
was not as excited about it. I thought that nobody
would be there. Now that we've threatened the city with
our show, if anything would to go wrong, we will
not accept no. We will be there. We will be there,
(00:41):
hell or high water. We've brought underwear into the equation.
I'm getting real excited about this show now.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Happy Thursday, Gary and Shannon. You guys have got me
cracking up as per usual, just laughing out loud to
myself in the middle of public.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I just wanted to wish you.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Guys a belated happy tenth anniversary. I can't believe it's
been that long because I feel old now, but you know, thanks.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Guys, you shouldn't feel old.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Trazy. Ten years is like nothing like.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Boom Okay, commando real quick before we get into swamp water.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
As far as going commando, being a marine, most often
if we're in the field, we won't wear any underwear whatsoever. However,
as a civilian, it depends on what the trousers are
made of. If it's super material, things might imprint a
little more than you want them to, so good box
of brief might be beneficial at that time and place.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Yeah, I there you go.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Oh, and it's for modesty.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Another military.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
Compliment to this, My husband quit wearing underwear when he
went through special warfare training in the Navy, So he
still doesn't wear underwear very old often unless it's like
with something that's really.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Going to show through, right, you know.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
That was the life changing event.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, he learned what's the use? Why, what's the We
don't need it underway, It's.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
A matter of why have extra things right that you're
going to have to worry about.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Well, it's eleven o'clock time for swamp watch. I'm a politician,
which means I'm a cheat and a liar. And when
I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipops here.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
We got the real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
So what I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
So that.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
The squat I can imagine what can be and be
unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 9 (02:42):
You know, Americans have always been gone a president, but
they're not stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Why have the people voted for you were not swamp watch,
They're all count of.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Something we spoke about earlier in the week was the
possibility of the president deploying federal law enforcement to San
Francisco and how that would go over. It looks like
that plan has been scrapped. Trump is backed off at
the last moment from deploying federal law enforcement. This according
to the mayor up there, Daniel Lurie. This is a reversal.
(03:14):
Trump did confirm in a social media post as well.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, I guess Daniel Lurie was able to convince the
President that they that he specifically has made enough progress
when it comes to fighting crime and homelessness in San
Francisco that Trump said, We'll give him some more time.
We'll see if the stuff that he's doing continues to work.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Christine find this to be fascinating that Trump would back
off of this. That Lurie said that Trump reached out
to him in a phone call last night, hours after
the mayor delivered a speech of this to talk about
this imminent federal show of force, and that Trump reached
out to him and told him clearly he was calling
(03:56):
off any plans for federal deployment.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Well, it's different than what we saw Karen Bass do.
It's different than what we saw the mayor of Chicago,
Brandon Johnson do. It's that these guys came out and
held press conferences talking about we're not going to do
any of this. And I don't know if there was
(04:19):
any communication between those two mayors and the White House
or President Trump specifically, but Daniel Lurie may have had
the you know, understood the secret sauce, which is this
guy likes to be talked.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
To Trumps, Trump called him. That's what I'm saying. That's
why I'm like, I did not see this coming. Lurie
does the speech yesterday saying there's this imminent threat of
federal law enforcement coming to the city.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, then that does that is a weird right, Everything
is topsy turvy right now.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I'm just surprised by that, But I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Maybe maybe well, as Trump said, let's look at his
statement on true Social he said, friends of mine who
live in the area called me and told me not
to go forward with that, that the mayor was making
substantial progress. He says, I spoke to Mayor Luriy last
night and he asked very nicely, that I give him
a chance to see if he can turn it around.
So maybe it's just a matter of Trump has friends
(05:20):
in the Bay Area who called and said, hey, we
don't need this. This guy's actually making San Francisco a
nice place again. And Trump's like, okay, then I won't
do it. That's wild, that is I did not.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I misunderstood. I thought that Luriy was the one who
called him. Okay, Well, that is a strange twist to
that whole thing. Then why wouldn't he Well, I don't know.
I was gonna say, why wouldn't he call somebody like
Brandon Johnson or Karen Bass or whatever and just get
them on the horn and say Because.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I think the missing thing is that Trump's friends in
the barrier called him first and said, don't do this.
You know, I don't know if Trump's in La, friends
in LA. But it's also a very different environment LA
in San Francisco. You can't compare the two you said
in federal law enforcement to San Francisco, and it's going
to look like a police state. It's just too small
for that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Lots been said about the East wing of the White
House being torn down. A bunch of machinery is there
that basically they're going to make way for this huge
ninety thousand square foot ballroom instead of putting up semi
permanent tents, which is what they do when there's a
big event at the White House like a state dinner.
(06:28):
They don't even they don't have a big enough space
for this, which is what President Trump complained about in
the first term. This is why he wants to build
this massive ninety thousand square foot gaudy, gold gilded ballroom.
And the East wing of the White House, which is
more executive offices. I think the official office of the
First Lady is often in that East wing.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
That's all coming down. The I want to go.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Back to the great James Earl Jones.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
In that.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
In our motivational Monday speech from a while ago. He
just this week.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
As a matter of fact, when it was Vin Scully
doing it, it was the story of you know, the
America has gone by like a bulldozer and being built
and rebuilt and torn down again.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
That's kind of the story of the White House.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
And I'm not defending I think it's doesn't have to
be a big, gaudy, gross ballroom.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
But this is not a new thing.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Millions and millions of dollars have been poured into a
White House construction, reconstruction, demolition over two hundred years, and
it's not a new thing.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Do you hear that?
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I do.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I'm getting fired up. It's only eleven thirteen. I'm ready
for Kickoff.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
When we come back, we'll talk about kickoff.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Also Dodgers World Series for Game one, it's tomorrow in Toronto,
and a chance for you to win a thousand bucks
is coming up as well.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
What year was Crazy Train release? Is that eighty early eighties?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Probably eighty four eighty three.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
This field's all decorated for the Superchargers era, which I
want to say is nineties. I'll be ready to go
by the time kickoff approaches. But it's got it's all
Navy it's that Navy era of the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It's better than the Savannah bananas that they wore last time.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Oh my goodness, that was hard to take. I like
the idea of the yellow uniforms, but in theory it worked,
but in practice, in practicality, it was pretty awful.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
It was hard to take.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
It was hard to watch. It was hard to be
that close to.
Speaker 10 (08:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's one that'll be playing at the stadium, I assume right,
pretty common lay.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
That during warm up, stretching, that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Do you stretch before those games?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Do I stretch? You better believe it. After we get
off the air, I'm gonna run the stairs around the
whole stadium.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
All of them, all of them. Yeah, I've never done that.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
You never run stairs.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I've thought about it. I mean, doing a whole stadium.
Sometimes coaches will do that. But here's my problem with
that idea, and it's it just stops me cold. Is
they all have locker rooms to go shower in after
before the game. If they're gonna run the stairs pre game,
I see what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I do not.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I am a sweaty rat at the end of that exercise,
and then I just sit in my sweat for the
whole game.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
It's sound appealing. It has nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
To do with the fact that I just simply don't
want to run stairs for you know, an hour.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I thought you meant you've never done it ever? Have
you done it ever?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, there's always a set of stairs somewhere right when
you're growing up, or or when you're on a team,
you know, or you run the stairs, run the hill,
whatever it is. But yeah, I mean when you think
about all the stairs in a stadium, at least the
lower bowl, it's a lot of stairs.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yeah, that can be a be pretty taxing.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Yeah, it's a good workout.
Speaker 2 (10:13):

Speaker 9 (10:51):
How way, just wonder if the Chargers were going to
be wearing the Savannah banana uniforms again or did they
decide to burn them after they years from the other night.
Appreciate your show, and you guys are the best in
the south Land. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Wow, that was very nice.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Yeah, like you said, they're going Navy blue tonight.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Yeah, it's a Navy game.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
You know, every team's got these color rush jerseys and
things that they play with. The Chargers have had their
own navies for a while now. The yellow was new
this year, but every team you've seen it in primetime
games before.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
The Chargers just went all yellow this year. I wonder
if that'll be back. I don't know. I don't know
what the reviews are.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I never read the reviews for the uniforms because there
was way too much to that game to be worried
about what they were wearing.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I do like the throwback jerseys that some of the
NFL teams have done, especially those teams that have been around.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Backs are great.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Like watching the Niners last week was that this week
Sunday Night, Sunday night, it was just Sunday Night, where
those ninety four pants.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Like, I love that, I love that. I love that.
I love it when they throw it back to a.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Different time for the team, you know, whether it was
the team's glory days or what have you.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
This weekend, the Steelers, for example, are wearing their throwbacks
from the nineteen thirty three season, cool which are it's
a yellow jersey, not the same as what we saw
with the Chargers, but it's a yellow jersey with black
stripes on it, and then they have sort of a
khaki colored pant that they're gonna wear with it. Just
in terms of those of you who are watching for
(12:30):
the fashion on Sunday, Chargers Vikings tonight, let's see the
pregame starts at four fifteen. That's why you're gonna hear
Conway starting at one o'clock today. He'll go until the
pregame starts kick off just after five o'clock, and of
course Chargers have to take on the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's gonna be a battle tonight of crippled offensive lines.
The Vikings are in kind of the same boat. The
Chargers are. Just a lot of injuries and just a
lot of ruffling on the offensive line, which makes a
long night in a long season for Carson Wentz and
Justin Herbert. Justin Herbert hit and pressured more than any
other quarterback in the league, and so you know, it's
(13:11):
tough for Justin Herbert, who threw a couple picks last
week but also set his personal record for passing yards
in a loss, had like four hundred and twenty one
passing yards or something, and still lost the game. So
it'll be interesting to see how he bounces back. If
he gets his left tackle and Joe alt back tonight,
that's the rumor that he will play.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
That would be a welcome sight for Chargers fans.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Dodgers will kick off the World Series tomorrow night.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Game one is in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
They are favorites by far, the Dodgers are, but that
doesn't mean that they can, you know, just give up
on this. They've they've got at least four games to
play and four games to win before they can take
home the take home the trophy.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Are you going to watch the World Series? Are you
gonna hate watch it? Are you gonna wear all your
Canadian leafs something you get?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
All the leaf stuff you have?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
No, I enjoy it, I'll watch it. I mean yeah,
I've said multiple times. There's plenty of players that I
like on the Dodgers that I think are I mean,
Key k Hernandez is one of the most fun. He
looks like he genuinely enjoys what he's doing. So those,
you know, guys like that are fun. How do you
not watch? Sho Heo Tani.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
One of my girlfriends, she's one of my girlfriends I
met when I was living in Seattle, and she loves
the Seahawks, she loves ems, and we'll go to a
Niner Seahawks game here and there when we can, and she.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Said, I just want them both to lose. I watch
them to watch them both lose.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I mean, it's got to just be soul crushing still
up there at Seattle for how close the Mariners got.
Never I've been in a World Series to just get
close enough to sniff it.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Yeah, they're sour, very sour up there. All right.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
When we come back, Mark Saltzman's going to join us
for some quick tech talk. A strange science still comes
along later in the show as well.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
And did it realize that Shannon was at sub fun today?
So when I kept hearing I was going to screaming
all the forward, I was quick confused. It's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yes, the game tonight, Chargers game tonight five point fifteen
is the kickoff, so Shannon's out there early getting ready
for pregame coming up at four fifteen.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
We have a lot to tech, a lot of tech
to get to today on this Thursday. Mark Saltzman is
our tech guru, and we're also going to tackle a
story that is near and dear to your heart. Gary,
you are not a fan of people using the phone
in the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Disgusting. Gross. That's where we start tech talk. The machines
are getting smarter.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
This is tech Talk brought to you by Skynet.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I mean they call it doom scrolling, right when you
just sit there and endlessly go down the whole of
social media or some other thing that grabs your attention.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
They should more appropriately call it poop scrolling.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
A recent study of kolonoscopy patients revealed that most used
their phones on the toilet at least once a week.
That's low, and that those phone on the toilet users
showed a forty six percent increased risk for hemorrhoids.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
People, why is that.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Mark?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
What causes? Can you show us doctor?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
What I was just going to say, doctor Saltzman? Is that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:43):
What causes a hemorrhoid that could be connected to phone usage?
Speaker 8 (16:48):
Well, it's simply because and my you know funny, my
doctor has no he knows my job. I'm I'm obviously
I'm a technology columnist. For years, he's been saying, I
hope you've been writing about why shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Be sitting on the toilet with your phone?
Speaker 8 (17:01):
And has less to do with fecal matter getting on
your iPhone or android phone screen and more to do
with hemorrhoids because we get so engaged in our content,
whether we're playing a little puzzle game or your doom
scrolling on social media, and we are sitting on the
throne way longer than we should be. Even let's keep
(17:24):
this clean here, folks, mid to pooph Okay, we are like,
you're you're sitting there squatting on your throne, and you
are for minutes, many many many minutes, and it should
not take that long and as a result awful. As
a result, this can result in hemorrhoids, which I can't
(17:45):
even bring it to myself to explain on the air
what it is. But I'm sure most of your listeners
know what hemorrhoids are.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
See, I think guys use the bathroom for escape a
lot of the time.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Hold on second, moms do the exact same thing. I specifically,
on the toilet.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
They're not on the They're not on They say they're
on the toilet, but they're not. Dudes, they're actually legitimately
on the toilet.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Or they're they're you know it's number one and not
number two, which.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
You know they're just sitting on the toilet. Site they're sitting.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
It's still not great. You're know you're not sitting right.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
So this is something that I've been hearing about for
a while, even again for my own physician, like begging
me almost to warn people to not be on your
phones for us or get off the pot.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Guys it's a.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Time literally traditionally right, and again not to mention that
you can you know, there's fecal matter that can get
on your hands even when you think you're wiping properly,
and then transferred to your phone screen. Then you leave
the the bathroom and there you've got. Now you're spreading
it around.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
And I got in.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Trouble for underwear earlier. I would just like to say.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
That's in trouble, kind of got in trouble.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
I'm not even gonna ask.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
I want to ask if your listeners have already enjoyed
this banter, then I'll have to take it offline and
find out what I.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Miss, Mark, Do you have lucky underwear?
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I don't have lucky underwear.
Speaker 8 (19:11):
I don't have a special pair of boxes or anything
or briefs that I.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Do you have when I want to get lucky?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Or Jerry's first question too, No, like superstitious underwear, you know,
like when you want your.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
I'm oletally not super sick.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Even though the Blue Jays are heading to the World
Series for the first time in thirty two years. Yeah,
I'm not going to be wearing a pair of special.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Undies for that.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Are you a Blue Jays fan.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
You know, I'm not a huge sports guy, but I
do love any playoff sports. I love the energy that's
amped up, whether it's football or basketball, baseball.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Last question for me, do you have any whimsical underwear?
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (19:51):
Somebody purchased me Simpsons underwear once, but I don't wear
it because it's not very comfortable. I see, that's probably
as whimsical as it gets.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
See it's like you're more of a solid a plaid guy.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Yeah, I'm no, it's like really basic black or gray.
It's really not sexy or exciting. It's very purpose purpose built.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Sure, Hey, don't you're the Steve Jobs of underwear.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Don't play the plane. Sometimes plain can be just what
you need.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
And then my wife maybe she was trying to hint
at something, but when we got married and she was
doing my laundry, she was like, can I ask you
why do guys like to wear white like tidy whities
or even boxers?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Like it's not a good idea.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
That's just for children.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Maybe, But listen, Mark, I think when we were kids,
that was all that was out there.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
That's all there was. Yeah, yeah, we're dating ourselves.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Exactly wears white tidy whities. He buys them in bulk
from Lake Arrowhead.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
Right.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Yeah, I don't never thought we were going to get
to this kind of stuff on tech Talk, but there
you go.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Well, you also have a great article on National Post
dot com is where other people can check it out.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
But we've talked about saving you.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
We talk a lot about smart home stuff that's out there,
and one of the things that I found most interesting,
just because I've been using a lot of tools lately,
is the smarter battery system for power tools and talk
about that.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
Yeah, so I think all the big players are doing it,
but I focused on Works WRX. It's a tool company
that has like over on a hundred different kinds of
power tools.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
And they have this power share battery system.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
So the idea is that you can buy multiple tools,
but you just use the same batteries, which saves you
money over time. Again, I think other companies like Milwaukee,
I think I can use the same battery, but these
are stackable. So for example, if you have like a
leaf blower, it may be just a regular twenty volt
Works battery snapped into the back. But if you need
(21:45):
more power, let's say for a chainsaw, then you can
add two of them or three or four if it's
like a lawnmower.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
So I like the modularity of it.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
So that was one of the products that I wrote about,
which was interchangeable batteries. But again I think all the
big players do that thought that was kind of cool.
I also looked at I would call it like the
granddaddy of all robot vack and mops. This is like
a fifteen hundred dollars device from from Ecovas, which is
(22:18):
a company that has other robots, but they even have
window washing robots that we may have talked about in the.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Path that omni cyclone that because that's a great that's
a great name for a robot.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I was gonna say it even sounds very high as
the X eleven omni cyclone.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
So yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
So it actually washes it's mop with hot water when
it goes back to the base, and it also empties
the dust and pet hair and debris into a bagless system.
A lot of people don't know that when you buy
these robots that have a base station where it goes
back and it empties the dust into a larger reservoir,
you have to buy these bags that you know you can.
(22:57):
You can buy them inexpensively on places like Tea or
Sheen or whatever. But a lot of people don't know
that they have to buy something on an ongoing basis
with that robot robot vack. But I like that the
ecovas has a bag list system, so it just goes
into a thing that you will dump into your trash
can and then wash out every two months. But it
(23:18):
also contains the dirty water that you'll want to dump
out as well. So it's probably the smartest of all
robot backs that I've ever reviewed. And it's also ideal
for larger homes because it has a four and a
half hour run time.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
That's a long battery for a robot.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Vacks eleven omni cyclone. Yeah, that sounds very cool.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
You have to say, I like that.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
You do like a Hollywood trailer voice, Scott.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Awesome. Mark, thank you for your patience with us. We
appreciate this. You got it. We'll talk soon, all right,
Mark Saltman.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Make sure you follow Mark on social media, Mark Saltzman,
Marc and Saltsman with a Z and you can find
out some great stuff, including the tech tips and his
tech tip of the Day and the tech it out
and all of that.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Stuff something for everyone.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
As you think about Mark and his gray and black
basic underwear.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Do you think about that a little bit? Okay, hey,
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Now that we know a week from today we're gonna
be live at Bjay's Restaurant and Bruehouse in West Covina,
We're gonna blow the doors off of that city for
what they've done to us. We feel victimized by what
they've done to us before. So we're going to invite
the mayor and all of the city council members and
anybody from the city of West Covina that wants to
come down and see what they missed out the first
(24:31):
time when they did not.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Talk to those people.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Hey, we should extend it in I'd like.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
To borrow John's bullhorn and his head's on a stick
sticks and go to action.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
We'll pull him out of the out of the show
closet somewhere. Hell yeah, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Well, it shouldn't be different just because you're at so fine.
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
It's true.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You know you got to keep it. You got to
keep the themes the same, shall we That's right?
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Oh, we got one of these, hey, Gary and Channon.
Speaker 12 (25:07):
So yet, many years ago, I worked for colorectal surgeons
at a medical school here in town, and we frequently
saw patients with rombos and prolapsed hemorrhoids and such, and
the doctors recommend it always to keep the library out
of the bathroom. So there's that.
Speaker 11 (25:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Listen, we've talked about this before. You mentioned before we
talk to Mark about my insistence that people not take
phones into the bathroom, regardless of what you're doing. I
don't care if you're answering emails and you're trying to
maximize your time or whatever.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
We see it routinely at work. Oh, people are not
even shy about it. They are bold. It's I don't
get it. I just don't get it.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
But I've also not I never understood the old trope
of you know, dad throws a folded up newspaper under
his arm and goes into the bathroom as like, don't
bother me for a good twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Because it's an escape.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
That's that's where Dad cannot be uh, he cannot be
yelled at by Mom about what he's got to do
that day.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
The kids don't bother him. It's his only place of.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Peace, I guess, but it was I've never understood that.
I don't think my dad ever did that. I mean,
we had magazines in the bathroom, but more for company
than for our own entertainment.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I think my dad got Crohn's disease just to stay
away from us.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
That's that's how bad you guys were. That's awful. What's up, everybody?
Metallica underwear?
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Crocker, you are lightning.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Did you ever have I mean I know people who
have that, you know, but outside of under rus, I
don't think I've had themed underpants in any way as
a kid.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I'm pretty sure, you know, like, you know, whatever cartoon
character or something like My Little Pony or some crap
that'd be weird. You know, they'll all be weird their
kids underwear, So we'll stop talking about it.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
You're more of a it's more of a youth thing.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
You go to Target, and that's where you see all
of the kids underwears, all bright colors and different characters
and things like that.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Well, I seem to remember that sometime over the course
of the last couple of years, we were talking about
Underrus making a comeback, or maybe we were wishing that
under Rus would make a comeback where you could take
DC comic or Marvel Comic Hero and turn that into
your alter ego for when you're walking around in your
in your chonies.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, I see, that's what I see you in walking
around your house.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Yeah, you can see just the underwear.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
It's the undershirt too, like you have the whole outfit
on't Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Well I always had. I had the cheapest one.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I had Hulk under Rus, which was really just a
white T shirt with a picture of the whole over
the left chest, all right, and then white tidy whities,
but it had green seams, so it was it was
as that's pretty cool, as barely into under Rus as
you could get and still be considered Underrus.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
It was just have those late seventies early eighties socks
that were white that were like go up to your
calf with like the two green stripes around your calf.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yeah, because that sucks.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Those would look cool with your underwear.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
And trust me, they did. I think my wife would
attest to that.
Speaker 9 (28:34):
Awfu.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Yeah, it's very awful.
Speaker 12 (28:36):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Next week, next Thursday, as a matter of fact, we're
going to be live at BJ's Restaurant in brew House
in West Covina, and we would love it if you
would come on out. We'll be out there from nine
o'clock until one. We are going to post everything that
we post I should say on social media is going
to be tagged with the City of West Covina, so
they understand that they have ridiculous rules about what we
(28:57):
can do and what we can't do that in our space.
So anyway, that'll be next Thursday, the thirtieth of October.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
And if you want to wear costume, that's great, before.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
You wear underwear, but probably something else as well, not
just just.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Oh, let's not invite people to wear their underwear to
the event.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
I want them to, I just want them to wear
other things as well.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
There's only one person that's going to put on the
underwear fashion show, and it's Gary.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
I don't think that's going to happen. It might, I guess.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Listen, a lot of things could change between now and then,
but that's coming up on Thursday when we come back.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
All of our trending stories coming up.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Oh you mean I can promise this, you'll at least
put on one pair over your clothes and model them
on the bar at bjays.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
So will you? This is not a one person thing. Sure.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I do have something to bring up next hour as well,
something called an analog bag. It has nothing to do
under the bar. In years, I find that hard to believe.
Gary and Shannon will continue right after this. You've been
listening to the Gary and Shannon Show. You can always
hear us live on KFI AM six forty nine am
to one pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime on
(30:16):
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):
One week away from our News and Bruise that's coming
up on next Thursday. We're going to be at BJ's
Restaurant and brew House in West Covina.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I'm starting to get really excited about this News and
Bruce in West Covina a week from today. I originally
was not as excited about it. I thought that nobody
would be there. Now that we've threatened the city with
our show, if anything would to go wrong, we will
not accept no. We will be there. We will be there,
(00:41):
hell or high water. We've brought underwear into the equation.
I'm getting real excited about this show now.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Happy Thursday, Gary and Shannon. You guys have got me
cracking up as per usual, just laughing out loud to
myself in the middle of public.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I just wanted to wish you.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Guys a belated happy tenth anniversary. I can't believe it's
been that long because I feel old now, but you know, thanks.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Guys, you shouldn't feel old.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Trazy. Ten years is like nothing like.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Boom Okay, commando real quick before we get into swamp water.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
As far as going commando, being a marine, most often
if we're in the field, we won't wear any underwear whatsoever. However,
as a civilian, it depends on what the trousers are
made of. If it's super material, things might imprint a
little more than you want them to, so good box
of brief might be beneficial at that time and place.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Yeah, I there you go.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Oh, and it's for modesty.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Another military.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
Compliment to this, My husband quit wearing underwear when he
went through special warfare training in the Navy, So he
still doesn't wear underwear very old often unless it's like
with something that's really.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Going to show through, right, you know.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
That was the life changing event.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, he learned what's the use? Why, what's the We
don't need it underway, It's.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
A matter of why have extra things right that you're
going to have to worry about.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Well, it's eleven o'clock time for swamp watch. I'm a politician,
which means I'm a cheat and a liar. And when
I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipops here.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
We got the real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
So what I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
So that.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
The squat I can imagine what can be and be
unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 9 (02:42):
You know, Americans have always been gone a president, but
they're not stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Why have the people voted for you were not swamp watch,
They're all count of.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Something we spoke about earlier in the week was the
possibility of the president deploying federal law enforcement to San
Francisco and how that would go over. It looks like
that plan has been scrapped. Trump is backed off at
the last moment from deploying federal law enforcement. This according
to the mayor up there, Daniel Lurie. This is a reversal.
(03:14):
Trump did confirm in a social media post as well.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, I guess Daniel Lurie was able to convince the
President that they that he specifically has made enough progress
when it comes to fighting crime and homelessness in San
Francisco that Trump said, We'll give him some more time.
We'll see if the stuff that he's doing continues to work.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Christine find this to be fascinating that Trump would back
off of this. That Lurie said that Trump reached out
to him in a phone call last night, hours after
the mayor delivered a speech of this to talk about
this imminent federal show of force, and that Trump reached
out to him and told him clearly he was calling
(03:56):
off any plans for federal deployment.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Well, it's different than what we saw Karen Bass do.
It's different than what we saw the mayor of Chicago,
Brandon Johnson do. It's that these guys came out and
held press conferences talking about we're not going to do
any of this. And I don't know if there was
(04:19):
any communication between those two mayors and the White House
or President Trump specifically, but Daniel Lurie may have had
the you know, understood the secret sauce, which is this
guy likes to be talked.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
To Trumps, Trump called him. That's what I'm saying. That's
why I'm like, I did not see this coming. Lurie
does the speech yesterday saying there's this imminent threat of
federal law enforcement coming to the city.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, then that does that is a weird right, Everything
is topsy turvy right now.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I'm just surprised by that, But I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Maybe maybe well, as Trump said, let's look at his
statement on true Social he said, friends of mine who
live in the area called me and told me not
to go forward with that, that the mayor was making
substantial progress. He says, I spoke to Mayor Luriy last
night and he asked very nicely, that I give him
a chance to see if he can turn it around.
So maybe it's just a matter of Trump has friends
(05:20):
in the Bay Area who called and said, hey, we
don't need this. This guy's actually making San Francisco a
nice place again. And Trump's like, okay, then I won't
do it. That's wild, that is I did not.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I misunderstood. I thought that Luriy was the one who
called him. Okay, Well, that is a strange twist to
that whole thing. Then why wouldn't he Well, I don't know.
I was gonna say, why wouldn't he call somebody like
Brandon Johnson or Karen Bass or whatever and just get
them on the horn and say Because.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I think the missing thing is that Trump's friends in
the barrier called him first and said, don't do this.
You know, I don't know if Trump's in La, friends
in LA. But it's also a very different environment LA
in San Francisco. You can't compare the two you said
in federal law enforcement to San Francisco, and it's going
to look like a police state. It's just too small
for that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Lots been said about the East wing of the White
House being torn down. A bunch of machinery is there
that basically they're going to make way for this huge
ninety thousand square foot ballroom instead of putting up semi
permanent tents, which is what they do when there's a
big event at the White House like a state dinner.
(06:28):
They don't even they don't have a big enough space
for this, which is what President Trump complained about in
the first term. This is why he wants to build
this massive ninety thousand square foot gaudy, gold gilded ballroom.
And the East wing of the White House, which is
more executive offices. I think the official office of the
First Lady is often in that East wing.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
That's all coming down. The I want to go.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Back to the great James Earl Jones.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
In that.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
In our motivational Monday speech from a while ago. He
just this week.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
As a matter of fact, when it was Vin Scully
doing it, it was the story of you know, the
America has gone by like a bulldozer and being built
and rebuilt and torn down again.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
That's kind of the story of the White House.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
And I'm not defending I think it's doesn't have to
be a big, gaudy, gross ballroom.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
But this is not a new thing.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Millions and millions of dollars have been poured into a
White House construction, reconstruction, demolition over two hundred years, and
it's not a new thing.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Do you hear that?
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I do.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I'm getting fired up. It's only eleven thirteen. I'm ready
for Kickoff.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
When we come back, we'll talk about kickoff.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Also Dodgers World Series for Game one, it's tomorrow in Toronto,
and a chance for you to win a thousand bucks
is coming up as well.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
What year was Crazy Train release? Is that eighty early eighties?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Probably eighty four eighty three.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
This field's all decorated for the Superchargers era, which I
want to say is nineties. I'll be ready to go
by the time kickoff approaches. But it's got it's all
Navy it's that Navy era of the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
It's better than the Savannah bananas that they wore last time.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Oh my goodness, that was hard to take. I like
the idea of the yellow uniforms, but in theory it worked,
but in practice, in practicality, it was pretty awful.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
It was hard to take.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
It was hard to watch. It was hard to be
that close to.
Speaker 10 (08:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's one that'll be playing at the stadium, I assume right,
pretty common lay.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
That during warm up, stretching, that kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Do you stretch before those games?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Do I stretch? You better believe it. After we get
off the air, I'm gonna run the stairs around the
whole stadium.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
All of them, all of them. Yeah, I've never done that.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
You never run stairs.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I've thought about it. I mean, doing a whole stadium.
Sometimes coaches will do that. But here's my problem with
that idea, and it's it just stops me cold. Is
they all have locker rooms to go shower in after
before the game. If they're gonna run the stairs pre game,
I see what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I do not.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I am a sweaty rat at the end of that exercise,
and then I just sit in my sweat for the
whole game.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
It's sound appealing. It has nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
To do with the fact that I just simply don't
want to run stairs for you know, an hour.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I thought you meant you've never done it ever? Have
you done it ever?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, there's always a set of stairs somewhere right when
you're growing up, or or when you're on a team,
you know, or you run the stairs, run the hill,
whatever it is. But yeah, I mean when you think
about all the stairs in a stadium, at least the
lower bowl, it's a lot of stairs.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yeah, that can be a be pretty taxing.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Yeah, it's a good workout.
Speaker 2 (10:13):

Speaker 9 (10:51):
How way, just wonder if the Chargers were going to
be wearing the Savannah banana uniforms again or did they
decide to burn them after they years from the other night.
Appreciate your show, and you guys are the best in
the south Land. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Wow, that was very nice.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Yeah, like you said, they're going Navy blue tonight.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Yeah, it's a Navy game.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
You know, every team's got these color rush jerseys and
things that they play with. The Chargers have had their
own navies for a while now. The yellow was new
this year, but every team you've seen it in primetime
games before.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
The Chargers just went all yellow this year. I wonder
if that'll be back. I don't know. I don't know
what the reviews are.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I never read the reviews for the uniforms because there
was way too much to that game to be worried
about what they were wearing.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I do like the throwback jerseys that some of the
NFL teams have done, especially those teams that have been around.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Backs are great.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Like watching the Niners last week was that this week
Sunday Night, Sunday night, it was just Sunday Night, where
those ninety four pants.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Like, I love that, I love that. I love that.
I love it when they throw it back to a.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Different time for the team, you know, whether it was
the team's glory days or what have you.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
This weekend, the Steelers, for example, are wearing their throwbacks
from the nineteen thirty three season, cool which are it's
a yellow jersey, not the same as what we saw
with the Chargers, but it's a yellow jersey with black
stripes on it, and then they have sort of a
khaki colored pant that they're gonna wear with it. Just
in terms of those of you who are watching for
(12:30):
the fashion on Sunday, Chargers Vikings tonight, let's see the
pregame starts at four fifteen. That's why you're gonna hear
Conway starting at one o'clock today. He'll go until the
pregame starts kick off just after five o'clock, and of
course Chargers have to take on the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's gonna be a battle tonight of crippled offensive lines.
The Vikings are in kind of the same boat. The
Chargers are. Just a lot of injuries and just a
lot of ruffling on the offensive line, which makes a
long night in a long season for Carson Wentz and
Justin Herbert. Justin Herbert hit and pressured more than any
other quarterback in the league, and so you know, it's
(13:11):
tough for Justin Herbert, who threw a couple picks last
week but also set his personal record for passing yards
in a loss, had like four hundred and twenty one
passing yards or something, and still lost the game. So
it'll be interesting to see how he bounces back. If
he gets his left tackle and Joe alt back tonight,
that's the rumor that he will play.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
That would be a welcome sight for Chargers fans.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Dodgers will kick off the World Series tomorrow night.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Game one is in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
They are favorites by far, the Dodgers are, but that
doesn't mean that they can, you know, just give up
on this. They've they've got at least four games to
play and four games to win before they can take
home the take home the trophy.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Are you going to watch the World Series? Are you
gonna hate watch it? Are you gonna wear all your
Canadian leafs something you get?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
All the leaf stuff you have?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
No, I enjoy it, I'll watch it. I mean yeah,
I've said multiple times. There's plenty of players that I
like on the Dodgers that I think are I mean,
Key k Hernandez is one of the most fun. He
looks like he genuinely enjoys what he's doing. So those,
you know, guys like that are fun. How do you
not watch? Sho Heo Tani.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
One of my girlfriends, she's one of my girlfriends I
met when I was living in Seattle, and she loves
the Seahawks, she loves ems, and we'll go to a
Niner Seahawks game here and there when we can, and she.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Said, I just want them both to lose. I watch
them to watch them both lose.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I mean, it's got to just be soul crushing still
up there at Seattle for how close the Mariners got.
Never I've been in a World Series to just get
close enough to sniff it.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Yeah, they're sour, very sour up there. All right.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
When we come back, Mark Saltzman's going to join us
for some quick tech talk. A strange science still comes
along later in the show as well.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
And did it realize that Shannon was at sub fun today?
So when I kept hearing I was going to screaming
all the forward, I was quick confused. It's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yes, the game tonight, Chargers game tonight five point fifteen
is the kickoff, so Shannon's out there early getting ready
for pregame coming up at four fifteen.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
We have a lot to tech, a lot of tech
to get to today on this Thursday. Mark Saltzman is
our tech guru, and we're also going to tackle a
story that is near and dear to your heart. Gary,
you are not a fan of people using the phone
in the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Disgusting. Gross. That's where we start tech talk. The machines
are getting smarter.
Speaker 10 (16:00):
This is tech Talk brought to you by Skynet.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I mean they call it doom scrolling, right when you
just sit there and endlessly go down the whole of
social media or some other thing that grabs your attention.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
They should more appropriately call it poop scrolling.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
A recent study of kolonoscopy patients revealed that most used
their phones on the toilet at least once a week.
That's low, and that those phone on the toilet users
showed a forty six percent increased risk for hemorrhoids.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
People, why is that.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Mark?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
What causes? Can you show us doctor?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
What I was just going to say, doctor Saltzman? Is that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:43):
What causes a hemorrhoid that could be connected to phone usage?
Speaker 8 (16:48):
Well, it's simply because and my you know funny, my
doctor has no he knows my job. I'm I'm obviously
I'm a technology columnist. For years, he's been saying, I
hope you've been writing about why shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Be sitting on the toilet with your phone?
Speaker 8 (17:01):
And has less to do with fecal matter getting on
your iPhone or android phone screen and more to do
with hemorrhoids because we get so engaged in our content,
whether we're playing a little puzzle game or your doom
scrolling on social media, and we are sitting on the
throne way longer than we should be. Even let's keep
(17:24):
this clean here, folks, mid to pooph Okay, we are like,
you're you're sitting there squatting on your throne, and you
are for minutes, many many many minutes, and it should
not take that long and as a result awful. As
a result, this can result in hemorrhoids, which I can't
(17:45):
even bring it to myself to explain on the air
what it is. But I'm sure most of your listeners
know what hemorrhoids are.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
See, I think guys use the bathroom for escape a
lot of the time.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Hold on second, moms do the exact same thing. I specifically,
on the toilet.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
They're not on the They're not on They say they're
on the toilet, but they're not. Dudes, they're actually legitimately
on the toilet.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Or they're they're you know it's number one and not
number two, which.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
You know they're just sitting on the toilet. Site they're sitting.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
It's still not great. You're know you're not sitting right.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
So this is something that I've been hearing about for
a while, even again for my own physician, like begging
me almost to warn people to not be on your
phones for us or get off the pot.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Guys it's a.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Time literally traditionally right, and again not to mention that
you can you know, there's fecal matter that can get
on your hands even when you think you're wiping properly,
and then transferred to your phone screen. Then you leave
the the bathroom and there you've got. Now you're spreading
it around.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
And I got in.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Trouble for underwear earlier. I would just like to say.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
That's in trouble, kind of got in trouble.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
I'm not even gonna ask.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
I want to ask if your listeners have already enjoyed
this banter, then I'll have to take it offline and
find out what I.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Miss, Mark, Do you have lucky underwear?
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I don't have lucky underwear.
Speaker 8 (19:11):
I don't have a special pair of boxes or anything
or briefs that I.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Do you have when I want to get lucky?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Or Jerry's first question too, No, like superstitious underwear, you know,
like when you want your.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
I'm oletally not super sick.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
Even though the Blue Jays are heading to the World
Series for the first time in thirty two years. Yeah,
I'm not going to be wearing a pair of special.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Undies for that.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Are you a Blue Jays fan.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
You know, I'm not a huge sports guy, but I
do love any playoff sports. I love the energy that's
amped up, whether it's football or basketball, baseball.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Last question for me, do you have any whimsical underwear?
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (19:51):
Somebody purchased me Simpsons underwear once, but I don't wear
it because it's not very comfortable. I see, that's probably
as whimsical as it gets.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
See it's like you're more of a solid a plaid guy.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Yeah, I'm no, it's like really basic black or gray.
It's really not sexy or exciting. It's very purpose purpose built.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Sure, Hey, don't you're the Steve Jobs of underwear.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Don't play the plane. Sometimes plain can be just what
you need.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
And then my wife maybe she was trying to hint
at something, but when we got married and she was
doing my laundry, she was like, can I ask you
why do guys like to wear white like tidy whities
or even boxers?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Like it's not a good idea.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
That's just for children.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Maybe, But listen, Mark, I think when we were kids,
that was all that was out there.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
That's all there was. Yeah, yeah, we're dating ourselves.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Exactly wears white tidy whities. He buys them in bulk
from Lake Arrowhead.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
Right.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Yeah, I don't never thought we were going to get
to this kind of stuff on tech Talk, but there
you go.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Well, you also have a great article on National Post
dot com is where other people can check it out.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
But we've talked about saving you.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
We talk a lot about smart home stuff that's out there,
and one of the things that I found most interesting,
just because I've been using a lot of tools lately,
is the smarter battery system for power tools and talk
about that.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
Yeah, so I think all the big players are doing it,
but I focused on Works WRX. It's a tool company
that has like over on a hundred different kinds of
power tools.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
And they have this power share battery system.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
So the idea is that you can buy multiple tools,
but you just use the same batteries, which saves you
money over time. Again, I think other companies like Milwaukee,
I think I can use the same battery, but these
are stackable. So for example, if you have like a
leaf blower, it may be just a regular twenty volt
Works battery snapped into the back. But if you need
(21:45):
more power, let's say for a chainsaw, then you can
add two of them or three or four if it's
like a lawnmower.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
So I like the modularity of it.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
So that was one of the products that I wrote about,
which was interchangeable batteries. But again I think all the
big players do that thought that was kind of cool.
I also looked at I would call it like the
granddaddy of all robot vack and mops. This is like
a fifteen hundred dollars device from from Ecovas, which is
(22:18):
a company that has other robots, but they even have
window washing robots that we may have talked about in the.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Path that omni cyclone that because that's a great that's
a great name for a robot.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I was gonna say it even sounds very high as
the X eleven omni cyclone.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
So yeah.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
So it actually washes it's mop with hot water when
it goes back to the base, and it also empties
the dust and pet hair and debris into a bagless system.
A lot of people don't know that when you buy
these robots that have a base station where it goes
back and it empties the dust into a larger reservoir,
you have to buy these bags that you know you can.
(22:57):
You can buy them inexpensively on places like Tea or
Sheen or whatever. But a lot of people don't know
that they have to buy something on an ongoing basis
with that robot robot vack. But I like that the
ecovas has a bag list system, so it just goes
into a thing that you will dump into your trash
can and then wash out every two months. But it
(23:18):
also contains the dirty water that you'll want to dump
out as well. So it's probably the smartest of all
robot backs that I've ever reviewed. And it's also ideal
for larger homes because it has a four and a
half hour run time.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
That's a long battery for a robot.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Vacks eleven omni cyclone. Yeah, that sounds very cool.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
You have to say, I like that.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
You do like a Hollywood trailer voice, Scott.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Awesome. Mark, thank you for your patience with us. We
appreciate this. You got it. We'll talk soon, all right,
Mark Saltman.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Make sure you follow Mark on social media, Mark Saltzman,
Marc and Saltsman with a Z and you can find
out some great stuff, including the tech tips and his
tech tip of the Day and the tech it out
and all of that.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Stuff something for everyone.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
As you think about Mark and his gray and black
basic underwear.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Do you think about that a little bit? Okay, hey,
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Now that we know a week from today we're gonna
be live at Bjay's Restaurant and Bruehouse in West Covina,
We're gonna blow the doors off of that city for
what they've done to us. We feel victimized by what
they've done to us before. So we're going to invite
the mayor and all of the city council members and
anybody from the city of West Covina that wants to
come down and see what they missed out the first
(24:31):
time when they did not.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Talk to those people.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Hey, we should extend it in I'd like.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
To borrow John's bullhorn and his head's on a stick
sticks and go to action.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
We'll pull him out of the out of the show
closet somewhere. Hell yeah, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Well, it shouldn't be different just because you're at so fine.
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
It's true.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You know you got to keep it. You got to
keep the themes the same, shall we That's right?
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Oh, we got one of these, hey, Gary and Channon.
Speaker 12 (25:07):
So yet, many years ago, I worked for colorectal surgeons
at a medical school here in town, and we frequently
saw patients with rombos and prolapsed hemorrhoids and such, and
the doctors recommend it always to keep the library out
of the bathroom. So there's that.
Speaker 11 (25:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Listen, we've talked about this before. You mentioned before we
talk to Mark about my insistence that people not take
phones into the bathroom, regardless of what you're doing. I
don't care if you're answering emails and you're trying to
maximize your time or whatever.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
We see it routinely at work. Oh, people are not
even shy about it. They are bold. It's I don't
get it. I just don't get it.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
But I've also not I never understood the old trope
of you know, dad throws a folded up newspaper under
his arm and goes into the bathroom as like, don't
bother me for a good twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Because it's an escape.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
That's that's where Dad cannot be uh, he cannot be
yelled at by Mom about what he's got to do
that day.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
The kids don't bother him. It's his only place of.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Peace, I guess, but it was I've never understood that.
I don't think my dad ever did that. I mean,
we had magazines in the bathroom, but more for company
than for our own entertainment.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I think my dad got Crohn's disease just to stay
away from us.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
That's that's how bad you guys were. That's awful. What's up, everybody?
Metallica underwear?
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Crocker, you are lightning.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Did you ever have I mean I know people who
have that, you know, but outside of under rus, I
don't think I've had themed underpants in any way as
a kid.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I'm pretty sure, you know, like, you know, whatever cartoon
character or something like My Little Pony or some crap
that'd be weird. You know, they'll all be weird their
kids underwear, So we'll stop talking about it.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
You're more of a it's more of a youth thing.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
You go to Target, and that's where you see all
of the kids underwears, all bright colors and different characters
and things like that.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Well, I seem to remember that sometime over the course
of the last couple of years, we were talking about
Underrus making a comeback, or maybe we were wishing that
under Rus would make a comeback where you could take
DC comic or Marvel Comic Hero and turn that into
your alter ego for when you're walking around in your
in your chonies.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, I see, that's what I see you in walking
around your house.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Yeah, you can see just the underwear.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
It's the undershirt too, like you have the whole outfit
on't Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Well I always had. I had the cheapest one.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I had Hulk under Rus, which was really just a
white T shirt with a picture of the whole over
the left chest, all right, and then white tidy whities,
but it had green seams, so it was it was
as that's pretty cool, as barely into under Rus as
you could get and still be considered Underrus.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
It was just have those late seventies early eighties socks
that were white that were like go up to your
calf with like the two green stripes around your calf.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yeah, because that sucks.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Those would look cool with your underwear.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
And trust me, they did. I think my wife would
attest to that.
Speaker 9 (28:34):
Awfu.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Yeah, it's very awful.
Speaker 12 (28:36):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Next week, next Thursday, as a matter of fact, we're
going to be live at BJ's Restaurant in brew House
in West Covina, and we would love it if you
would come on out. We'll be out there from nine
o'clock until one. We are going to post everything that
we post I should say on social media is going
to be tagged with the City of West Covina, so
they understand that they have ridiculous rules about what we
(28:57):
can do and what we can't do that in our space.
So anyway, that'll be next Thursday, the thirtieth of October.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
And if you want to wear costume, that's great, before.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
You wear underwear, but probably something else as well, not
just just.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Oh, let's not invite people to wear their underwear to
the event.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
I want them to, I just want them to wear
other things as well.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
There's only one person that's going to put on the
underwear fashion show, and it's Gary.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
I don't think that's going to happen. It might, I guess.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Listen, a lot of things could change between now and then,
but that's coming up on Thursday when we come back.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
All of our trending stories coming up.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Oh you mean I can promise this, you'll at least
put on one pair over your clothes and model them
on the bar at bjays.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
So will you? This is not a one person thing. Sure.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I do have something to bring up next hour as well,
something called an analog bag. It has nothing to do
under the bar. In years, I find that hard to believe.
Gary and Shannon will continue right after this. You've been
listening to the Gary and Shannon Show. You can always
hear us live on KFI AM six forty nine am
to one pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime on
