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 (00:10):
I'll take some pills, I guess.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
NBC News is reporting that the Trump administration has begun
some detailed planning for a new mission that would send
American troops and intelligence officers in New Mexico to target cartels.
They said that early stages of training have already begun.
These troops would operate under the authority of the US
Intelligence Community, known as Title fifty status.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
They said that officers from the CIA.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Would also participate, but at this point pretty quiet in
terms of anything actually happening. The other big business story
in medical I guess you could say Kimberly Clark is
buying tailand allmaker Kenview in a cash and stock deal
worth about fifty almost fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
There is the ozembic effect that is now hitting the
statistics when it comes to obesity. We will let you
know what that show is coming up later in the show. Also,
Starbucks everywhere, They continue to pop up on every vacant
corner dwelling. And there is a new report this is
the future of coffee, not Starbucks.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
So we'll tell you what is and what will happen
to all those Starbucks.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
It's Chinese. I think it's Chinese. Is that what we're
talking about the future of coffee.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
You'll have to listen to the show. We'll have to
find out this show. This show. There's so much information
that comes out of one little show.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I'm glad you bring that up. If you miss any
part of the show, you're missing a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, so to miss a day, you miss a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Okay, So I changed it a little bit, so I
didn't so you weren't actually stealing lately stealing?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
What is that from KFBK.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I thought it was kPa Y, Yes it was.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I never worked there, but I you did.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, I thought that was THEIRS.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
I think.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I mean, I'm sure there's probably had to be. There's
a hundred different radio stations. I'm sure you miss a day.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
You miss KFBK was KFBK was?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Remember today you listened to news talk fifteen thirty KFBK.
It was like this sexy women's voice that I can't
do generally sixy but it was back when you had
to remember what station. Like the ratings books were actual
books they would send out to people get to write down.
So a way to get you to remember which station
(02:24):
you listened to was to have a sexy female voice
trance like tell you remember today you listened to News
Talk fifteen thirty Very sleepy.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Okay, So California fire officials have proposed zone zero regulations.
If you're a homeowner, this would mean that you would
have to create a fire resistant specifically an ember resistant
zone around your house. This was supposed to be in
place a few years ago, but all of this has
(02:58):
been stuck in.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Not just the.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Public outrage, but also the political bureaucracy that comes with
anything from new rules. Both CalFire and the Border Forestry
and Fire Protection visited Brentwood, for example, and Altadena where
they're trying to figure out how best to rebuild. But
at this point there are concerns from people are trying
(03:23):
to rebuild whether or not they're going to be able
to follow those zone zero rules that have been proposed.
For example, over in Altadena, officials showed residents a home
they claimed was spared thanks to the removal of vegetation.
You're the home, but the residents said, wait a minute,
there's a home across the street that doesn't follow your
zone zero plans and it also survived. So there's no
(03:46):
guarantee to say, just clearing the brush or plants or
whatever it is around your home is going to guarantee
that your home survives one of these firestorms. And they
said that this is this huge just kind of the
dipping your toe into the water over the debate of
what these homes should look like when.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
They are rebuilt in these areas.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
They said, these zone zero regulations were required by a
law that was passed back in twenty twenty, and these
they kind of fizzled out after fire officials struggled to
agree on how to navigate this theory about what actually
prevents fires from destroying specific homes and what was reasonable
(04:32):
to ask of residence. So if I live in a
relatively dangerous I mean not the highest threat in terms
of fire danger, but a high threat, and I have
plants all over the house outside, and what these zone
zero regulations would require is a lot of that stuff
would have to be moved or just be replaced. You
(04:53):
wouldn't be able to have in some cases, wouldn't bark
as decorative bark in a plant area near your house,
because that bark could potentially give rise if an ember
were to fall on to it to give rise to
a fire. So Thelma Waxman is the president of the
Brentwood Homeowners Association. She's working to certify neighborhoods in the
(05:15):
area as fire safe, but says, the science tells us
it doesn't make sense. The fire officials, these are her words,
are ignoring it because they have to come up with something.
So she says, if I'm going to go to my
members and say, Okay, you need to spend five thousand
doing one five thousand dollars doing one thing to protect
your home, it's not going to be remove hydrated vegetation.
(05:37):
Because that's the other part about it. Some of the
Zone zero regulations have suggested that all plants, no matter
how well watered they are, all plant material needs to
be moved away from your home because of the potential
for them to become fire problems.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
You know, I.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Saw what I was looking through news this morning. A
headline pitched to me from Health magazine, and the headline
was this what you should know about peeing in the shower.
And I thought, how silly of a headline, And then
I remembered, that's not the first time I've seen it,
because we actually did the story the first time I
saw it, which is also troubling. Like you said, a
(06:21):
third of the county on foodstamps, troubling. The fact that
we're doing routine headlines about peeing in the shower, do
or don't what to know? Also troubling for the state
of humanity, which is why I'm also curious as to
why the aliens are not probing us. They came, they saw,
they did not conquer. What happened with that over the weekend.
(06:43):
They may have been busy watching baseball.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Right, they got sidetracked.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But do you think they just came for the end
of that series to check it out from close by?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
They may have had something to do with that, like
they wanted to give us one good something to do
before they come and start the probes.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's the only thing that can explain everything that went
on in that season in that series.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, that's a good point outside interferrestrial manipulation.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, alien interference.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
We have a chance for you to win a thousand
dollars coming up.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Michael Monks is out at the parade row. We'll check
in with him here in a few minutes. Celebrating the
Dodgers win of the World Series last night, I had
made a comment that it's a game set well, the
whole series kind of had a little bit of everything
that is baseball that makes baseball so much fun to watch,
to play, et cetera. And I referenced the ground rule
(07:43):
double where the ball just plunked down underneath the padding
in the outfield wall, and somebody said it wasn't a
ground rule double and it doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
But he guess family, can we not question Gary the
ra on rules?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
That's what I does.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Reminder, man, we're talking about Resident Advisor Garry Hoffman, all right,
and I'm Gary.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I know all the rules.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I don't know all the rules. I know that rule.
They're playing to separate about this all day. It's just
one of those things that if you're gonna if you're
gonna call and leave a talk back and say that
that is not a ground rule double, I don't, oh.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Because everybody's always right on that thing. Huh.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, that's that's the part about it. That's the easy one.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
That's that. That's an easy.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
All right, let's not perseverate, right, Let's give away thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
We will go back to the parade coming up after
Deppor's news at the bottom of the hour. Michael Monks
has been posted up all morning long, and a lot
of celebration downtown. The trains are packed, Dodger Stadium's gonna
fill up, and just a day of celebration for back
to back champions, your Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But in the meantime, it's time for terror in this skuy.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Like you darro Nier yarklay every day off Roger, get
off my plane.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Progerick Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
What's our Victor, Victor no is En.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
I have had it with these munkey pipe snakes on
this money to it's Gary and Shannon's terror in the
skies on Kfaky Well.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
As I mentioned, we were stuck last night on the
tarmac in Nashville for three hours because a ground delay
at LA, and when I looked elsewhere, it.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Was par for the course.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Major airports LaGuardia, JFK, Newark, San Diego, lax oh Hair
all had cascading disruptions throughout the weekend as air traffic
controllers who are working without pay called out of work.
Flight Aware documents real time historical flight tracking data as well.
(10:25):
It has all of these airports up and they have
been looking at all of this. There have been more
than nine thousand flight delays since Friday.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You mentioned obviously lax San Diego, but I mean those
seventeen airports across the country considered some of the largest Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Denver,
places like that, and then the big ones in New
York City in the East coast, including Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
They're all suffering.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Again, it's not necessarily that there is a massive problem
at one airport that then ripples out. It's these smaller
ripples at each of these individual airports in some cases
that then cause delays over and over. Then they start
to compound on each other. As of right now, the
weekend number is in and the weekend the FAA said
(11:16):
that there was let me trying to make sure I
have the right term, that they used staffing triggers ninety
eight staffing trigger reports at different FAA facilities, which just
means that the air traffic controllers there had to adjust
the operations to maintain airspace safety. That means that there
were fewer people on the job. Again, air traffic controllers
(11:40):
are required to go to work, but as we've seen,
they're not getting paid now. I think it was on Wednesday,
Tuesday or Wednesday of last week was their first missed
paycheck as a result of the government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Well, think about yourself, think about where you're at. As
Sean Duffy, Transportations secretary said on CNBC over the weekend,
none of these people can miss two paychecks. I mean,
imagine if you missed two paychecks all of a sudden,
you can't pay the mortgage.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
You know, home finances fall apart.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You've got to take a look at taking a second
job or quitting and getting into another line of work
right away. I mean, it's very real for a lot
of people. You know, you think of childcare alone. If
you're going to work. Air traffic control our job and
you've got to pay for a couple kids in childcare.
(12:37):
Where's the money for that if you're not getting paid?
So how can you go to work? Not even why
would you go to work, but how can you.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
He did say that's again, Sean Duffy's Transportation secretary. You'll
see more delays, you'll see more cancelations of flights, and
that's because we slowed traffic down because we don't have
enough controllers in those towers and the tray cons to
make sure that we can navigate the flights. So that's
a tool that they have to keep the system safe.
And he said if air travel was unsafe, in his opinion,
(13:07):
the Transportation Department would shut the whole airspace down. He said,
we will not let people travel, but we are definitely
not at that point at right now. We are just
dealing with some significant delays because of this.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, and you know, the question arose in my mind
last night as we were sitting there for three hours on
the tarmac of how much of this is political, like
how much of this is necessary shut down and how
much of it is Oh, look, we can't even the station.
The country is immobilized because we are important and we
need to be paid. And I get that, and they
(13:40):
have a very they have a lot of.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Leverage, and if there's no movement in the next couple
of days, this will set the record is the longest
government shut down. And I think that's a gamble that
both sides are taking, because the Democrats are seeing the
polling which suggests that since Republicans are in control of
Congress in the White House, they're the ones who should
be responsible for this. Republicans in the White House and
(14:02):
Congress are pointing at the Democrats and saying, we could
have avoided this. We've tried to vote thirteen is I
think it's thirteen times now on this continuing resolution to
get the government back open while we negotiate all these
other things.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
It is split party lines.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Nobody's even getting into the minutia of which Democrats are
involved and what Trump's role is. It's just either called
Trump shut down or the Democrats shut down.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
And that's just the way people are looking at it.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Up next, a little bit happier, we'll be talking with
Michael Monks out there on the parade route for the
Dodgers World Series parade.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
The big celebration, of course for the Dodgers taking place
at Dodgers Stadium today.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
That's a part of the Black Eyed Peace.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Hey, I I maybe I am the many years old
that is. I don't know who celebrities. Ay, well that's
where I am, right, Yeah, I got that. I don't
know who the other guy is. You think that's Flee? No,
the other guy Anthony? Yeah, no, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Wow, Grandma, it's time for me to tell you about
late nineties music.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Well, we're at the World Series of Flee was out
there for the first pitch and I go, I.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Just saw him in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I was like, no, I didn't. I saw Green Day
at Brazil. Idiot, old freaking Grandma.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
I'd like to meet that person too. The you that
yells at you. Oh, it's in my head all the time.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
I know.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
That's why that voice that you don't have in your
head mine just yells at me.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Because I have some suggestions for her.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Oh really, yeah, what would you suggest? Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Nothing, just to be nicer to her.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Really yeah, and that voice won't learn that she's enough.
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Michael Monks is joining us. He is live out in
downtown l A. Always gotten away from the children. Apparently,
I guess the restraining order finally kicked in. No, I
think they just got a little tired. They're still here.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
They're still here, don't wake them.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
There were some beach balls and some tennis balls being
thrown around, and I think everybody get a little tired.
It's been weird because you can feel, you can taste that.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
This thing's about the start. People have been waiting.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
For hours and hours, but now it's sort of that
antsy weight.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Well, they they they left.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
They loaded the players up outside of the Criminal Courts building,
and they they changed that this year because the team
was so late making the parade route last year. So
they're going to get to you sooner than they did
last last year.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
That's good. That's good.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
I know these fans are I mean they are cheering
for any vehicle that goes by. But right now you've
just got a couple of unmarked well I should say,
two black SUVs with just Dodger signs on the side
of them.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
No, no players, no manager. That'spful.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I mean that gives people have been cheering for everything,
and the streets are packed.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
People are climbing trees, they're climbing street signs to.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Get a good view.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
They're ready for this thing to get going. And then,
of course, after this parade is finished, there's a celebration at.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
At Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
But in the meantime, I mean, if you're planning to
come down, you're probably a little too late. If you're here,
it might be a bit of a madhouse to get
out of downtown. The trains have been packed, streets are
blocked off. It's a bit of a mess. But I
think if you asked anybody in this large sea of
blue whether it was worth it, the answer would be yes.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Does that kid need his own? Yeah, he's thirsty.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I don't want this kid to die.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
I need everybody to stop talking about water and drinks.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
They need sacks.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Get this done.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
The kids need Just think of the waterfall of fun stuff.
You got to be prepared out there as a parent, Michael.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You've got to have a two liter bottle or something.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Yeah, well, you know I couldn't now, I mean I
would be exposing to get prior.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I know there's a mandate. There's a mandated reporter around
your screw.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
I'm going to have to ask these deputies where the bill.
Let me slither into the county building and move on
with my life.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I love it when the people climb the light poles.
They're they're climbing the light poles in Chinatown too, And uh,
that just seems like a lot of effort.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
That is a lot. Doesn't look like arm strength, right,
that's an upper arm shoulder strength.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, you have some inner thighs to grip that pole
as you're going up to Gary.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Do you think you could climb a pole right now?
I don't think so, Michael. Do you have the inner
thigh strength to climb a pole?
Speaker 8 (18:32):
I could do it.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
I could absolutely climb that pole.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I did. That was very confident.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Well do you have one of those? I see, see,
I see Michael. I know his mom's Pam.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I know they're from Kentucky, and I see Pam being
an early adopter of the thigh master with Suzanne Summer's maybe.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
What I remember my mom doing is jazzer.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Side, yes see. And I bet she had a thigh master.
I bet Pam Dad.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I don't remember that, but I know that she was
relatively acting, you know she was and law enforcement of course.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh yes, she could several different ways. Yeah, you know
she had. She had a menu of different ways. She
could kick your ass, she could kill you.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
It seems like it's.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Really like a family as opposed to our conversation. It
seems like it's a real family friendly atmosphere out there
that everyone's cool.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
It's just like a celebration.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Oh, it's been totally positive. There's been no problems at all.
The only disruption and it went by really without.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Any fanfare at all.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
There was a homeless guy with an exceedingly large cart
who passed by here a couple of hours ago, and
it was really there was really too many people for
it to get pat Everyone moved, nobody said anything.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Just one even just one.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
It has been so clean and pleasant down here today.
Everyone is just climbing. Everyone is so excited.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Completely, you know, different experience you can have in LA sometimes,
but this has been a really good day.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
So well, there now on NBC showing the Dodgers on
the top.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Deck of the bus.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
There's show hey all wearing their Black brand Spank and
New World Series T shirt shirts. The gray hats are
really good looking that they have.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
On as well.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
So this crowd's going to erupt.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Oh, it's gonna go crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So it looks like they're just waiting, but the team's
been loaded up on these buses, so only a matter
of time.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Michael, Well, I think it was supposed to start at
eleven fifteen. Yeah, and if you guys want to pomp
back over to me around that time, we'll see.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
Where we stand.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah. Sounds good. We'll catch up with you in the
next hour. Stay safe out there, you got it.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Ps, I met a Gas family member yesterday in Nashville
on the field.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Oh really, yeah, I think his name. I might be
screwing it up.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I think it was Henry, and Henry goes Oh, I
listened to you guys all the time.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
He says he's from San Diego.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
He lives in San diego, and he said, you guys
pissed me off a lot. And I said, I'm sorry, Henry,
and he goes, but I love you, and I said,
we love you too, and then I'll leave and he goes,
stay dry out there, and I go thanks, and I
walk away because it was drizzling a little bit. And
I walk away and I was like, oh, I get it.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
I go back. I just got the joke.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Ten years.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Eve been saying that for ten years, and you didn't
get it.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
And he knows me so well. He just looked at
me like, of course you didn't get it. Of course.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
They are also showing some of the live pictures of
the TV stations are getting their what would you call
it vantage point on some of the player buses.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, so they are gearing up for that, for that parade,
which is fun. I guess it's I guess it's fun.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
So can anyone tell me why the Dodgers winning is
such a big deal.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's just a stupid baseball game? Who cares?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Is that the period guy? No, it's not, but it
sounds like, just for what happened to that guy, somebody
have fun for a while. Did he died? The pyramid guy.
Did he die?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I don't think so, okay, because we haven't heard from him. Yeah,
and you know he couldn't quit us.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Should we get his messages anymore?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Really? We have blocksome people, Yes we have, don't you
know what?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I will say this. I was around a lot of
Padres fans over the weekend. Oh yeah, because of said Chargers,
and uh, the Padres fans took it really hard. Yeah,
really hard, like as hard as Toronto Blue Jays fans
took it almost And it was odd, you know, just
thinking like why are the pot Giants fans aren't taking
(22:39):
it hard?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I do think it's funny postseason, regardless of the sport,
there's a postseason thing if your team gets knocked out,
who do you root for. I was talking with a
buddy who's a huge Yankees fan, and he was pulling
for the Dodgers one thousand percent because they because the
Blue Jays knocked out the Yankees, Okay, which was kind
of a funny thing because I mean, I'm for the
(23:02):
same reason I was rooting for the Blue Jays because
I'm I'm a Giants fan, so I don't want the dot.
I mean, it's I know what it's just that funny.
You know, you give up an allegiance for a couple
of weeks in the in October.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, And I just I just don't understand the complete
disheartenment of watching your your rival win until I framed
it in my life and I was like, well, how
did I feelhen the Seahawks won.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
The Super Bowl? I felt awful. I hated that next
day so much. I hated it. So I get it,
padres fans, And maybe next year.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Obesity rates are down. That's good. I'll tell you why
when we come back.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Yeah, it'll be fun.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
We'll just gift Gabin right now.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Nobody will listen, Yeah, nobody will listen to it, but
we can talk crap about people we don't know.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Yourself. You're just like, I just need this cathartic relation
from the show I.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Did Gary and Shannon kf I AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We have long lamented the
fact that people are getting fatter. It's not good. It's
not good for anybody. Yeah, it's not good for it.
It's not good for anybody.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
It's not good for you if you're the one getting tat.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
It's not good if you have other health issues and
someone who's fat has taking up time and the health
and your doctor and all that sort of.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
It's not good for anybody.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Should I put this on the stage away? We should
all hummus is the least of your problems.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Okay, we should all be more fit period, just healthier, fitter.
There is something going on that adult obesi in the
United States peaked somewhere between twenty one and twenty two.
Twenty one and twenty twenty two, we were all neck
(25:01):
deep in COVID. We were sick of rules, we were
eating like crap, We weren't moving around. They told us
to sit around on our couch, that it was the
safest place to be.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
We all got fatter.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
And then glucagon like peptide one agonists and.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Entered the change.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
People that got into shape, some not enough.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
The golp ones then come in and for the first
time gallops self reported data. Now this is again self reported,
so it's are you fat, yes or no?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Are you fatter now than you were? Yes or no?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
They sewed a nearly three point drop in obesity since
twenty twenty two since it peaked. Now, diabetes is still
going up. Diabetes, but obesity in general is going down,
and that is great news. Obviously it has to do
with the popularity of the GOLP ones. You can't go
(26:01):
for one commercial break without seeing ads for one or
the other of the GLP ones that are out there
in general.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
What did you start doing?
Speaker 3 (26:12):
But when to get rid of my facts? Oh, I
didn't say that I sat around a lot. I don't
think I was as healthy as I could have been.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
That's not true. You have made an you have made efforts.
You're more in shape now than you were, say, ten
years ago. Okay, So I was just asking you what
you did. I just because I think sometimes people think
it's like this great life change, and when it's just
like something every day, a little something every day, just
(26:42):
trying to eat better every day, trying to move around
more every day.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
You know what I'd say.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
I would say part of it is that my wife
and I talked about it. Yeah, just talked about it,
just like, Hey, shouldn't we try not to eat ice
cream six days a week?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Right?
Speaker 8 (26:58):
Don't tell me what to do?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, we haven't had conversation in our home about ice cream.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
That is not a conversation that we have had yet, because.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I just stuff like that, I mean, and the realization
of I'm now approaching the point in my age that
my dad was when he had a heart attack. Right,
And that's one of those things that's it doesn't loom
over me and I don't think about it every day, but
it's one of the things like, oh, I should be
aware of that. And I do things differently than he did.
I eat differently than he did. I don't smoke. I mean,
(27:28):
all these different things just to avoid that. It's never
too late to start smoking, right, Probably too late to
start cocaine. Yes, and you've aged didn't do that. No,
I don't think that would have been drug of choice. No,
he's not a turn it up guy. I could see
him getting I could see him. I could see him
(27:49):
have a couple of giggling. He would love to laugh.
Oh yeah, love to laugh and giggle.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
He put on a you know, gun smoke or something.
My little riflemen have a joint. Enjoy himself, Connor, that's
a great visual, your dad and his recliner smoking a jay.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
He didn't smoke it. He tried it. You know, he
tried the edibles so like when he was sick.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, yeah, it didn't fit. It didn't fit him. He
didn't like it. He didn't like My.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Dad rode that weed train straight to the grave.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I mean, I'm embarrassed to say how much weed he
was smoking towards the end, But hey, what, whatever's gonna
make you comfortable?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
You know, men outnumber I'm sorry, women outnumber men obviously
when it comes to these weight loss injectables. And the
only reason I say obviously is because women tend to
find it more difficult to drop pounds than men.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Oh, I'm Gary, and I know how hard it is
for women.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
To drop way.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
Diane told me that this week. She's like, yeah, it's true.
I dropped pretty quickly. She's just like, I work twice
as hard.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Don't let that cause a rift between you.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
No, no, no, What did you say back to her
when she said that you should keeping? Because I can
see I've seen this movie. I'm trying to edit this
one as we go along.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio LAP
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 (00:10):
I'll take some pills, I guess.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
NBC News is reporting that the Trump administration has begun
some detailed planning for a new mission that would send
American troops and intelligence officers in New Mexico to target cartels.
They said that early stages of training have already begun.
These troops would operate under the authority of the US
Intelligence Community, known as Title fifty status.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
They said that officers from the CIA.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Would also participate, but at this point pretty quiet in
terms of anything actually happening. The other big business story
in medical I guess you could say Kimberly Clark is
buying tailand allmaker Kenview in a cash and stock deal
worth about fifty almost fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
There is the ozembic effect that is now hitting the
statistics when it comes to obesity. We will let you
know what that show is coming up later in the show. Also,
Starbucks everywhere, They continue to pop up on every vacant
corner dwelling. And there is a new report this is
the future of coffee, not Starbucks.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
So we'll tell you what is and what will happen
to all those Starbucks.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
It's Chinese. I think it's Chinese. Is that what we're
talking about the future of coffee.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
You'll have to listen to the show. We'll have to
find out this show. This show. There's so much information
that comes out of one little show.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I'm glad you bring that up. If you miss any
part of the show, you're missing a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, so to miss a day, you miss a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Okay, So I changed it a little bit, so I
didn't so you weren't actually stealing lately stealing?
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
What is that from KFBK.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I thought it was kPa Y, Yes it was.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I never worked there, but I you did.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, I thought that was THEIRS.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
I think.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I mean, I'm sure there's probably had to be. There's
a hundred different radio stations. I'm sure you miss a day.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
You miss KFBK was KFBK was?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Remember today you listened to news talk fifteen thirty KFBK.
It was like this sexy women's voice that I can't
do generally sixy but it was back when you had
to remember what station. Like the ratings books were actual
books they would send out to people get to write down.
So a way to get you to remember which station
(02:24):
you listened to was to have a sexy female voice
trance like tell you remember today you listened to News
Talk fifteen thirty Very sleepy.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Okay, So California fire officials have proposed zone zero regulations.
If you're a homeowner, this would mean that you would
have to create a fire resistant specifically an ember resistant
zone around your house. This was supposed to be in
place a few years ago, but all of this has
(02:58):
been stuck in.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Not just the.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Public outrage, but also the political bureaucracy that comes with
anything from new rules. Both CalFire and the Border Forestry
and Fire Protection visited Brentwood, for example, and Altadena where
they're trying to figure out how best to rebuild. But
at this point there are concerns from people are trying
(03:23):
to rebuild whether or not they're going to be able
to follow those zone zero rules that have been proposed.
For example, over in Altadena, officials showed residents a home
they claimed was spared thanks to the removal of vegetation.
You're the home, but the residents said, wait a minute,
there's a home across the street that doesn't follow your
zone zero plans and it also survived. So there's no
(03:46):
guarantee to say, just clearing the brush or plants or
whatever it is around your home is going to guarantee
that your home survives one of these firestorms. And they
said that this is this huge just kind of the
dipping your toe into the water over the debate of
what these homes should look like when.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
They are rebuilt in these areas.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
They said, these zone zero regulations were required by a
law that was passed back in twenty twenty, and these
they kind of fizzled out after fire officials struggled to
agree on how to navigate this theory about what actually
prevents fires from destroying specific homes and what was reasonable
(04:32):
to ask of residence. So if I live in a
relatively dangerous I mean not the highest threat in terms
of fire danger, but a high threat, and I have
plants all over the house outside, and what these zone
zero regulations would require is a lot of that stuff
would have to be moved or just be replaced. You
(04:53):
wouldn't be able to have in some cases, wouldn't bark
as decorative bark in a plant area near your house,
because that bark could potentially give rise if an ember
were to fall on to it to give rise to
a fire. So Thelma Waxman is the president of the
Brentwood Homeowners Association. She's working to certify neighborhoods in the
(05:15):
area as fire safe, but says, the science tells us
it doesn't make sense. The fire officials, these are her words,
are ignoring it because they have to come up with something.
So she says, if I'm going to go to my
members and say, Okay, you need to spend five thousand
doing one five thousand dollars doing one thing to protect
your home, it's not going to be remove hydrated vegetation.
(05:37):
Because that's the other part about it. Some of the
Zone zero regulations have suggested that all plants, no matter
how well watered they are, all plant material needs to
be moved away from your home because of the potential
for them to become fire problems.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
You know, I.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Saw what I was looking through news this morning. A
headline pitched to me from Health magazine, and the headline
was this what you should know about peeing in the shower.
And I thought, how silly of a headline, And then
I remembered, that's not the first time I've seen it,
because we actually did the story the first time I
saw it, which is also troubling. Like you said, a
(06:21):
third of the county on foodstamps, troubling. The fact that
we're doing routine headlines about peeing in the shower, do
or don't what to know? Also troubling for the state
of humanity, which is why I'm also curious as to
why the aliens are not probing us. They came, they saw,
they did not conquer. What happened with that over the weekend.
(06:43):
They may have been busy watching baseball.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Right, they got sidetracked.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But do you think they just came for the end
of that series to check it out from close by?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
They may have had something to do with that, like
they wanted to give us one good something to do
before they come and start the probes.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's the only thing that can explain everything that went
on in that season in that series.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, that's a good point outside interferrestrial manipulation.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, alien interference.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
We have a chance for you to win a thousand
dollars coming up.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Michael Monks is out at the parade row. We'll check
in with him here in a few minutes. Celebrating the
Dodgers win of the World Series last night, I had
made a comment that it's a game set well, the
whole series kind of had a little bit of everything
that is baseball that makes baseball so much fun to watch,
to play, et cetera. And I referenced the ground rule
(07:43):
double where the ball just plunked down underneath the padding
in the outfield wall, and somebody said it wasn't a
ground rule double and it doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
But he guess family, can we not question Gary the
ra on rules?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
That's what I does.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Reminder, man, we're talking about Resident Advisor Garry Hoffman, all right,
and I'm Gary.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I know all the rules.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I don't know all the rules. I know that rule.
They're playing to separate about this all day. It's just
one of those things that if you're gonna if you're
gonna call and leave a talk back and say that
that is not a ground rule double, I don't, oh.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Because everybody's always right on that thing. Huh.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, that's that's the part about it. That's the easy one.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
That's that. That's an easy.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
All right, let's not perseverate, right, Let's give away thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
We will go back to the parade coming up after
Deppor's news at the bottom of the hour. Michael Monks
has been posted up all morning long, and a lot
of celebration downtown. The trains are packed, Dodger Stadium's gonna
fill up, and just a day of celebration for back
to back champions, your Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But in the meantime, it's time for terror in this skuy.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Like you darro Nier yarklay every day off Roger, get
off my plane.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Progerick Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
What's our Victor, Victor no is En.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
I have had it with these munkey pipe snakes on
this money to it's Gary and Shannon's terror in the
skies on Kfaky Well.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
As I mentioned, we were stuck last night on the
tarmac in Nashville for three hours because a ground delay
at LA, and when I looked elsewhere, it.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Was par for the course.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Major airports LaGuardia, JFK, Newark, San Diego, lax oh Hair
all had cascading disruptions throughout the weekend as air traffic
controllers who are working without pay called out of work.
Flight Aware documents real time historical flight tracking data as well.
(10:25):
It has all of these airports up and they have
been looking at all of this. There have been more
than nine thousand flight delays since Friday.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You mentioned obviously lax San Diego, but I mean those
seventeen airports across the country considered some of the largest Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Denver,
places like that, and then the big ones in New
York City in the East coast, including Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
They're all suffering.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Again, it's not necessarily that there is a massive problem
at one airport that then ripples out. It's these smaller
ripples at each of these individual airports in some cases
that then cause delays over and over. Then they start
to compound on each other. As of right now, the
weekend number is in and the weekend the FAA said
(11:16):
that there was let me trying to make sure I
have the right term, that they used staffing triggers ninety
eight staffing trigger reports at different FAA facilities, which just
means that the air traffic controllers there had to adjust
the operations to maintain airspace safety. That means that there
were fewer people on the job. Again, air traffic controllers
(11:40):
are required to go to work, but as we've seen,
they're not getting paid now. I think it was on Wednesday,
Tuesday or Wednesday of last week was their first missed
paycheck as a result of the government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Well, think about yourself, think about where you're at. As
Sean Duffy, Transportations secretary said on CNBC over the weekend,
none of these people can miss two paychecks. I mean,
imagine if you missed two paychecks all of a sudden,
you can't pay the mortgage.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
You know, home finances fall apart.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You've got to take a look at taking a second
job or quitting and getting into another line of work
right away. I mean, it's very real for a lot
of people. You know, you think of childcare alone. If
you're going to work. Air traffic control our job and
you've got to pay for a couple kids in childcare.
(12:37):
Where's the money for that if you're not getting paid?
So how can you go to work? Not even why
would you go to work, but how can you.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
He did say that's again, Sean Duffy's Transportation secretary. You'll
see more delays, you'll see more cancelations of flights, and
that's because we slowed traffic down because we don't have
enough controllers in those towers and the tray cons to
make sure that we can navigate the flights. So that's
a tool that they have to keep the system safe.
And he said if air travel was unsafe, in his opinion,
(13:07):
the Transportation Department would shut the whole airspace down. He said,
we will not let people travel, but we are definitely
not at that point at right now. We are just
dealing with some significant delays because of this.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, and you know, the question arose in my mind
last night as we were sitting there for three hours on
the tarmac of how much of this is political, like
how much of this is necessary shut down and how
much of it is Oh, look, we can't even the station.
The country is immobilized because we are important and we
need to be paid. And I get that, and they
(13:40):
have a very they have a lot of.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Leverage, and if there's no movement in the next couple
of days, this will set the record is the longest
government shut down. And I think that's a gamble that
both sides are taking, because the Democrats are seeing the
polling which suggests that since Republicans are in control of
Congress in the White House, they're the ones who should
be responsible for this. Republicans in the White House and
(14:02):
Congress are pointing at the Democrats and saying, we could
have avoided this. We've tried to vote thirteen is I
think it's thirteen times now on this continuing resolution to
get the government back open while we negotiate all these
other things.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
It is split party lines.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Nobody's even getting into the minutia of which Democrats are
involved and what Trump's role is. It's just either called
Trump shut down or the Democrats shut down.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
And that's just the way people are looking at it.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Up next, a little bit happier, we'll be talking with
Michael Monks out there on the parade route for the
Dodgers World Series parade.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
The big celebration, of course for the Dodgers taking place
at Dodgers Stadium today.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
That's a part of the Black Eyed Peace.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Hey, I I maybe I am the many years old
that is. I don't know who celebrities. Ay, well that's
where I am, right, Yeah, I got that. I don't
know who the other guy is. You think that's Flee? No,
the other guy Anthony? Yeah, no, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Wow, Grandma, it's time for me to tell you about
late nineties music.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Well, we're at the World Series of Flee was out
there for the first pitch and I go, I.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Just saw him in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I was like, no, I didn't. I saw Green Day
at Brazil. Idiot, old freaking Grandma.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
I'd like to meet that person too. The you that
yells at you. Oh, it's in my head all the time.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
I know.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
That's why that voice that you don't have in your
head mine just yells at me.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Because I have some suggestions for her.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Oh really, yeah, what would you suggest? Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Nothing, just to be nicer to her.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Really yeah, and that voice won't learn that she's enough.
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Michael Monks is joining us. He is live out in
downtown l A. Always gotten away from the children. Apparently,
I guess the restraining order finally kicked in. No, I
think they just got a little tired. They're still here.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
They're still here, don't wake them.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
There were some beach balls and some tennis balls being
thrown around, and I think everybody get a little tired.
It's been weird because you can feel, you can taste that.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
This thing's about the start. People have been waiting.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
For hours and hours, but now it's sort of that
antsy weight.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Well, they they they left.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
They loaded the players up outside of the Criminal Courts building,
and they they changed that this year because the team
was so late making the parade route last year. So
they're going to get to you sooner than they did
last last year.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
That's good. That's good.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
I know these fans are I mean they are cheering
for any vehicle that goes by. But right now you've
just got a couple of unmarked well I should say,
two black SUVs with just Dodger signs on the side
of them.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
No, no players, no manager. That'spful.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I mean that gives people have been cheering for everything,
and the streets are packed.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
People are climbing trees, they're climbing street signs to.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Get a good view.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
They're ready for this thing to get going. And then,
of course, after this parade is finished, there's a celebration at.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
At Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
But in the meantime, I mean, if you're planning to
come down, you're probably a little too late. If you're here,
it might be a bit of a madhouse to get
out of downtown. The trains have been packed, streets are
blocked off. It's a bit of a mess. But I
think if you asked anybody in this large sea of
blue whether it was worth it, the answer would be yes.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Does that kid need his own? Yeah, he's thirsty.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I don't want this kid to die.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
I need everybody to stop talking about water and drinks.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
They need sacks.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Get this done.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
The kids need Just think of the waterfall of fun stuff.
You got to be prepared out there as a parent, Michael.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You've got to have a two liter bottle or something.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Yeah, well, you know I couldn't now, I mean I
would be exposing to get prior.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I know there's a mandate. There's a mandated reporter around
your screw.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
I'm going to have to ask these deputies where the bill.
Let me slither into the county building and move on
with my life.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I love it when the people climb the light poles.
They're they're climbing the light poles in Chinatown too, And uh,
that just seems like a lot of effort.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
That is a lot. Doesn't look like arm strength, right,
that's an upper arm shoulder strength.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, you have some inner thighs to grip that pole
as you're going up to Gary.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Do you think you could climb a pole right now?
I don't think so, Michael. Do you have the inner
thigh strength to climb a pole?
Speaker 8 (18:32):
I could do it.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
I could absolutely climb that pole.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I did. That was very confident.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Well do you have one of those? I see, see,
I see Michael. I know his mom's Pam.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I know they're from Kentucky, and I see Pam being
an early adopter of the thigh master with Suzanne Summer's maybe.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
What I remember my mom doing is jazzer.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Side, yes see. And I bet she had a thigh master.
I bet Pam Dad.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I don't remember that, but I know that she was
relatively acting, you know she was and law enforcement of course.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh yes, she could several different ways. Yeah, you know
she had. She had a menu of different ways. She
could kick your ass, she could kill you.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
It seems like it's.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Really like a family as opposed to our conversation. It
seems like it's a real family friendly atmosphere out there
that everyone's cool.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
It's just like a celebration.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Oh, it's been totally positive. There's been no problems at all.
The only disruption and it went by really without.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Any fanfare at all.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
There was a homeless guy with an exceedingly large cart
who passed by here a couple of hours ago, and
it was really there was really too many people for
it to get pat Everyone moved, nobody said anything.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Just one even just one.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (19:41):
It has been so clean and pleasant down here today.
Everyone is just climbing. Everyone is so excited.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Completely, you know, different experience you can have in LA sometimes,
but this has been a really good day.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
So well, there now on NBC showing the Dodgers on
the top.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Deck of the bus.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
There's show hey all wearing their Black brand Spank and
New World Series T shirt shirts. The gray hats are
really good looking that they have.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
On as well.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
So this crowd's going to erupt.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Oh, it's gonna go crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So it looks like they're just waiting, but the team's
been loaded up on these buses, so only a matter
of time.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Michael, Well, I think it was supposed to start at
eleven fifteen. Yeah, and if you guys want to pomp
back over to me around that time, we'll see.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
Where we stand.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah. Sounds good. We'll catch up with you in the
next hour. Stay safe out there, you got it.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Ps, I met a Gas family member yesterday in Nashville
on the field.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Oh really, yeah, I think his name. I might be
screwing it up.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I think it was Henry, and Henry goes Oh, I
listened to you guys all the time.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
He says he's from San Diego.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
He lives in San diego, and he said, you guys
pissed me off a lot. And I said, I'm sorry, Henry,
and he goes, but I love you, and I said,
we love you too, and then I'll leave and he goes,
stay dry out there, and I go thanks, and I
walk away because it was drizzling a little bit. And
I walk away and I was like, oh, I get it.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
I go back. I just got the joke.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Ten years.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Eve been saying that for ten years, and you didn't
get it.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
And he knows me so well. He just looked at
me like, of course you didn't get it. Of course.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
They are also showing some of the live pictures of
the TV stations are getting their what would you call
it vantage point on some of the player buses.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, so they are gearing up for that, for that parade,
which is fun. I guess it's I guess it's fun.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
So can anyone tell me why the Dodgers winning is
such a big deal.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's just a stupid baseball game? Who cares?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Is that the period guy? No, it's not, but it
sounds like, just for what happened to that guy, somebody
have fun for a while. Did he died? The pyramid guy.
Did he die?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I don't think so, okay, because we haven't heard from him. Yeah,
and you know he couldn't quit us.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Should we get his messages anymore?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Really? We have blocksome people, Yes we have, don't you
know what?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I will say this. I was around a lot of
Padres fans over the weekend. Oh yeah, because of said Chargers,
and uh, the Padres fans took it really hard. Yeah,
really hard, like as hard as Toronto Blue Jays fans
took it almost And it was odd, you know, just
thinking like why are the pot Giants fans aren't taking
(22:39):
it hard?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I do think it's funny postseason, regardless of the sport,
there's a postseason thing if your team gets knocked out,
who do you root for. I was talking with a
buddy who's a huge Yankees fan, and he was pulling
for the Dodgers one thousand percent because they because the
Blue Jays knocked out the Yankees, Okay, which was kind
of a funny thing because I mean, I'm for the
(23:02):
same reason I was rooting for the Blue Jays because
I'm I'm a Giants fan, so I don't want the dot.
I mean, it's I know what it's just that funny.
You know, you give up an allegiance for a couple
of weeks in the in October.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, And I just I just don't understand the complete
disheartenment of watching your your rival win until I framed
it in my life and I was like, well, how
did I feelhen the Seahawks won.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
The Super Bowl? I felt awful. I hated that next
day so much. I hated it. So I get it,
padres fans, And maybe next year.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Obesity rates are down. That's good. I'll tell you why
when we come back.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Yeah, it'll be fun.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
We'll just gift Gabin right now.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Nobody will listen, Yeah, nobody will listen to it, but
we can talk crap about people we don't know.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Yourself. You're just like, I just need this cathartic relation
from the show I.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Did Gary and Shannon kf I AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We have long lamented the
fact that people are getting fatter. It's not good. It's
not good for anybody. Yeah, it's not good for it.
It's not good for anybody.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
It's not good for you if you're the one getting tat.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
It's not good if you have other health issues and
someone who's fat has taking up time and the health
and your doctor and all that sort of.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
It's not good for anybody.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Should I put this on the stage away? We should
all hummus is the least of your problems.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Okay, we should all be more fit period, just healthier, fitter.
There is something going on that adult obesi in the
United States peaked somewhere between twenty one and twenty two.
Twenty one and twenty twenty two, we were all neck
(25:01):
deep in COVID. We were sick of rules, we were
eating like crap, We weren't moving around. They told us
to sit around on our couch, that it was the
safest place to be.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
We all got fatter.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
And then glucagon like peptide one agonists and.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Entered the change.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
People that got into shape, some not enough.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
The golp ones then come in and for the first
time gallops self reported data. Now this is again self reported,
so it's are you fat, yes or no?
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Are you fatter now than you were? Yes or no?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
They sewed a nearly three point drop in obesity since
twenty twenty two since it peaked. Now, diabetes is still
going up. Diabetes, but obesity in general is going down,
and that is great news. Obviously it has to do
with the popularity of the GOLP ones. You can't go
(26:01):
for one commercial break without seeing ads for one or
the other of the GLP ones that are out there
in general.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
What did you start doing?
Speaker 3 (26:12):
But when to get rid of my facts? Oh, I
didn't say that I sat around a lot. I don't
think I was as healthy as I could have been.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
That's not true. You have made an you have made efforts.
You're more in shape now than you were, say, ten
years ago. Okay, So I was just asking you what
you did. I just because I think sometimes people think
it's like this great life change, and when it's just
like something every day, a little something every day, just
(26:42):
trying to eat better every day, trying to move around
more every day.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
You know what I'd say.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
I would say part of it is that my wife
and I talked about it. Yeah, just talked about it,
just like, Hey, shouldn't we try not to eat ice
cream six days a week?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Right?
Speaker 8 (26:58):
Don't tell me what to do?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, we haven't had conversation in our home about ice cream.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
That is not a conversation that we have had yet, because.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I just stuff like that, I mean, and the realization
of I'm now approaching the point in my age that
my dad was when he had a heart attack. Right,
And that's one of those things that's it doesn't loom
over me and I don't think about it every day, but
it's one of the things like, oh, I should be
aware of that. And I do things differently than he did.
I eat differently than he did. I don't smoke. I mean,
(27:28):
all these different things just to avoid that. It's never
too late to start smoking, right, Probably too late to
start cocaine. Yes, and you've aged didn't do that. No,
I don't think that would have been drug of choice. No,
he's not a turn it up guy. I could see
him getting I could see him. I could see him
(27:49):
have a couple of giggling. He would love to laugh.
Oh yeah, love to laugh and giggle.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
He put on a you know, gun smoke or something.
My little riflemen have a joint. Enjoy himself, Connor, that's
a great visual, your dad and his recliner smoking a jay.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
He didn't smoke it. He tried it. You know, he
tried the edibles so like when he was sick.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, yeah, it didn't fit. It didn't fit him. He
didn't like it. He didn't like My.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Dad rode that weed train straight to the grave.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I mean, I'm embarrassed to say how much weed he
was smoking towards the end, But hey, what, whatever's gonna
make you comfortable?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
You know, men outnumber I'm sorry, women outnumber men obviously
when it comes to these weight loss injectables. And the
only reason I say obviously is because women tend to
find it more difficult to drop pounds than men.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Oh, I'm Gary, and I know how hard it is
for women.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
To drop way.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
Diane told me that this week. She's like, yeah, it's true.
I dropped pretty quickly. She's just like, I work twice
as hard.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Don't let that cause a rift between you.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
No, no, no, What did you say back to her
when she said that you should keeping? Because I can
see I've seen this movie. I'm trying to edit this
one as we go along.
