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):
For all your times in Temple.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
You've never met a female rap It's so funny, so
crazy odd.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I'm winning the bet as of right now.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
In Central Carolina's beating Louisiana Tech seven to nothing. Yes
here in the second quarter. Rams lost to the Falcons
on Monday Night Football. Last night, Chargers announced Justin Herbert
it's not even going to suit up for Sundays thanks
regular season finale.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
I mean, he's been playing with a broken hand for
four weeks.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Well, and you said, you said yesterday it was kind
of the expectation that there's the expectation to play for Really.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Everybody remembers what happened when the Chargers went into Denver
in a pointless game when they were already in the
playoffs and they were going to be a wild card team,
same scenario, and Brandon.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Staley decided to play the starters.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
For momentum, and Mike Williams was hurt late in the
game with a back injury was not available for them
when they went to the first playoff game, Justin Herbert
had ever played in Jacksonville, and that was a disaster,
unmitigated disaster, because he.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Did not have Mike Williams.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So for Chargers fans hearing that they're going to arrest
the starters who they can, it's music to your ears.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
And as of right now, that's where the Chargers would
end up, right, is Jacksonville?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, but if they lose to Denver, then it's reshuffled.
The likely scenario is the Chargers will probably go to
New England and play the Patriots, which is great because
sounds like fun. The Patriots are red hot, no doubt
about that. Drake May fantastic second year. The Chargers did
(01:46):
play this iteration of the Patriots last December.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I believe they beat them forty to seven.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And as good as Drake May is in the MVP discussion,
he doesn't have any playoff experience, which counts.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
It does count. Also, lacking in.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
New England is pass rush, and everybody knows who's watched
the Chargers. The offensive line has been struggling, to say
the least, so the absence of a pass rush in
New England is kind of an ideal matchup.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I still want to know one's going to be Beyonce
is now a billionaire. That's wonderful. Quick quiz.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, because of a renaissance world tour, because of the
Cowboy Carter whole thing. Only four other musicians have ever
become billionaires.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Do you know who they are?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Singular acts?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Singular acts individuals that have become billionaires. Michael Jackson, No,
Celine Dionna, No, more current than that, more current.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Or I should say Taylor Swift is one of them. Okay,
jay Z is another one.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Wow, Bruce Springsteen, Wow, I would not have guessed that.
And Rihanna really Yeah, billionaires because of their music. Wow,
and other products too, but I mean sure, primarily music,
those makeup brands.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Manesh, tell me about it. What else is going on?
Time for what's happening?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Well, the rain is coming back.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
In fact, it's rain and right now in Burbank and
other parts of the San Fernando Valley. This rain is
expected to kind of just pitddle through the day today.
Tomorrow is when we expect to see significant amounts of
rain coming in and that will stick with us through
Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Very likely that it will.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Rain and potentially some heavy rain on the Rose Parade
Unday morning.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
That could be another way that we could get in.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Like, rain doesn't deter you an I no, you know,
we'll We'll call the parade in the rain.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I'll wear a garbage bad I'll wear a garbage bag
as well. You might want to throw on some flowers,
Oh sure, just a umbrellas theme not permitted along the route.
So if you are planning on bringing your umbrella it
blocks a view, it will not be permitted. Obviously, you
should wear rain jacket or poncho, but no umbrellas. That's
(04:20):
kind of funny because they showed earlier today the two
thousand and six Rose barid, which is the last time
it rained, and a bunch of people had umbrellas.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh yeah, it was so cold too. That was a
very cold cold deer e Coli. In your ground beef,
where's the beef?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Check it? Check that beef. This is a massive recall
sixteen ounce vacuum sealed packages labeled Forward Farms grass fed
ground beef.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
The expiration date is January thirteenth. The effected beef also
has the establishment number twenty eighty three to zero eight
three and I guess some of it. It comes out
of Idaho but was shipped to California. Yeah, so again
Forward Farms grass fed ground beef.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Three hikers have died on Mount Baldy. One fell five
hundred feet. The hikers were found dead by rescue crews
and Devil's Backbone area of Mount Baldy. Search and Rescue
team responded about eleven thirty am yesterday after the teens
hiking companion found cell service provided GPS coordinates to assist rescuers.
(05:30):
They found the injured hiker, along with two additional individuals
nearby who have not been identified.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
A very poorly written story.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
This is an.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Awfully written story. So it's okay.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
So the nineteen year old man fell five hundred feet
in Mount Baldy. His friend called was able to give
GPS coordinates to the rescuers. They found that nineteen year
old man who died because of the fall, and in
doing so they found two other bodies not I'm asking
the question, two other bodies not with this.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Party Originally when they were looking for they originally they
did say they were looking for three people, that one
of them had fallen, and it would make more sense
if one of them had fallen, one was able to
call and give GPS coordinates, and then possibly the two
went to go try to help or wrest. How would
(06:24):
they die falling doing so? Falling the five hundred feet
that's possible. Bad time a year to be going to baldy.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Tatianda Schlosberg has died, daughter of Caroline Kennedy and granddaughter
of JFK. She had just thirty five years old. She
had told The New Yorker last month she was diagnosed
with a rare mutation of acute Mylloyd leukemia.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Is that how I say it?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I think so?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
After giving birth to her second child, she was diagnosed
in May of last year, she said, during my latest
clinical trial, the doctor told me he could keep me
alive for a year.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
My son might have a few memories, but he'll probably
start confusing them with pictures he sees or stories he hears.
I didn't ever really get to take care of my daughter.
I couldn't change her diaper, or give her a bath,
or feed her all of the because of the risk
of infection after my transplants.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
How awful.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I can't even imagine another tragedy for the Kennedy family.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
There. That's an awful story.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Do you have anything good?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Uplifting?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
All school districts in California are going to have to
have cell phone policies next year.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
No, don't you have something good about, like a panda
making friends with a tortoise or something.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I'll find something and you're gonna love it. Thank you,
Mary Love that will continue a good story. She's gonna
love it.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
A six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
The music is really good today, Gary and Shannon KFI
AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Okay,
I'm ready for my panda and tortoise friendship story.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Well, I'm not gonna start with pandas and tortoises just yet.
But I do have some good news stories oka happened
this year? Okay, the good news stories.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Wait, we've already done them.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
We already know about it.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I don't think we've done these. There's one that makes
me very uncomfortable. We'll talk about that one last. Oh,
but it is considered a good news story.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Put me.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
The first one is very very good.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Up in Stockton, the fire department says that the fire
department employees had twenty two babies this year. The Stockton
Fire Department itself had twenty two babies in one.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, that doesn't surprise me because of how tight knit
fire families are, and they're all probably around the same age.
They come through the department together, they're all young, all
the wives are friends. The one has a baby, the
other one wants a baby. It spreads like wildfire.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
The Stockton Fire Department posted on their Facebook page and
their other social media just a couple of days ago
they were able to.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Gather most of them.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
The fire department employee, if it was mother or father
holding the baby for all of them out in front.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Of their one of their big fire trucks. That's sweet.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
It's very sweet. That's sweet. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
All grow up together in the fire department. They'll be wonderful.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Ruben Tala is an Air Force staff sergeant. He and
his wife i Vett, and their baby were driving up
Highway fifty to Lake Tahoe on just before Christmas, and
up in front of them, just a short distance in
front of them, an suv spun off the road onto
the right shoulder and almost tumbled down an embankment. The
(09:56):
only reason that the suv didn't tumble down on the
embankment was held up by a dead tree on the
side of the road.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
And I mean it's up.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Imagine the hill on the side of the road, and
the suv is on its right wheels, right, it's on
its right side, but leaning on this dead tree trunk
that's holding it up. Rubin and his wife Yvette, jump
out of the car, their car. They grab a bunch
of other people around who are passing by, and they're
(10:28):
able to pull the two people and the two dogs
out of that suv before it rolls down the hill.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Wow, that's incredible. That's good.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Great story.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
That's a good story.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
What's the one that makes you uncomfortable?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Okay, this is a little bit crazier. Chester County, Pennsylvania.
About thirty years ago, a second grader was assigned.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
A high school pen pal.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I don't think they'd do that these days, But again,
this was thirty years ago. During the school year nineteen
ninety four and ninety five. Megan Lewis was in the
second grade and she exchanged letters with a high school
junior named Suzanne. And when Megan was visiting her family
for Thanksgiving, she went through some of her old papers
(11:10):
from elementary school and saw some of those pen pal
letters that she had written to her high school friend
named Suzanne, So she searched for her pen pal on Google.
As it turns out, Suzanne is doctor Suzanne Pew.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Now, first of all, apparently women can be doctors.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Now, doctor Suzanne Pew works at the Exia Women's Health
mainline obgyn.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Oh, well, it's a woman's place that she gets to
be a doctor.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I didn't make judgement that should make you feel more comfortable.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I can see why the story makes you uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
But wait, there's more. Doctor Suzanne is Meghan's doctor.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Wow. And she never knew it.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Wow until just a few weeks ago. Meghan says, my
mouth dropped. I could not believe that my pen pal
was doctor Puke.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Gives me chill.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Was my OBGYN who delivered my kids?
Speaker 5 (12:16):
How cool?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
A small world?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
They actually said that they there was a reunion between
these two. Reading that letters, they found out they did
actually meet in person during their correspondence in the nineties,
and the doctor says, I've always felt like Megan was
just a special person.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
We really connected.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
It was amazing for whatever reason, and our universes collided
again thirty years later. She said, our paths crossed in
the nineties and it just felt like we mean it.
I felt feel like that just means we're meant to
be connected forever. Pugh said she trained and spent some
time in the military and then settled back in Westchester, Pennsylvania,
(12:54):
where her family's from. So it's always really fun. When
she learned she's taking care of people. She knew that
when she was like.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
That's a nice story. That's very sweet.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
It's a very cool story. See, I have good stories
in me.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
You did.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Richie threw a picture of a seal on a caught
in a net.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yeah, Richie's like, here's a good story.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
It's about an animal and it's like a picture of
a seal in a net.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
A seal in a net. Yeah, it's awesome. It was
a cute story.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Yeah, I know. Don't let the pick the picture fool you.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
The fisherman was in a rowboat on the River Burr
in Norfolk when the gray seal went after his day's
catch of fish, and the seal locked looked up at
the stun fish. Fisherman from inside the net before the
fisherman was able to call a rescue charity to come.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Help, or did he somebody had some seals me.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
All the pictures are the seals still in the net.
I don't see any of the seal outside the net.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The seal pup. They named it Sunshine.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Here's another story from Richie that he says is good.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Flat headed cat.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Seen in Thailand for the first time in thirty years. Well,
thank god for that. The flat headed cats are back.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Oh cute.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
No, the last time they saw a flat headed cat
in Thailand was when Meghan Lewis was writing to her
high school pen pal.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Oh look at you.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Full circle moment like that. Wait to bring it around.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
And the babies the Stock and Fire department. You had
a bunch of babies. Yeah, this doctor happens to.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Be an obgyn.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Where does the seal in the net come in?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
That was a Curveball's good at throwing curveballs?
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Is that a cat? The flat headed cats?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Do you have cats? Richie?
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
What are their names?
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Wait, Chloe? No, no, Magnum, magnum, Oh my.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
God, yes for that?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Oh my god? Why do I ask questions like the
ice Why do you ask.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Questions like the ice cream? All right, I'm done asking questions.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Wait, the other one's name is Trojan? No?
Speaker 6 (15:12):
I have one?
Speaker 4 (15:14):
What does Ramses mean?
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Never mind?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
What I following? The joke is that I'm not going
to explain it because if you have to, if I
have to explain it, it's not funny.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh my god, I'll let the boys explain it to me.
What's the other cat's name, Ritchie?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (15:30):
I only have one.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Oh, it's just it's just the one. I'm lost, same Ramseys.
What a stupid name for a Is it a name
for a condom? That's a weird name?
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Right, I've never heard of it because I don't worry.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Okay, let's go to the news lost again.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Clean it all up in the new year, right, like,
we're just getting it all out of our system today
and tomorrow, and then we starting on Monday, things are
going to be a lot different around.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Oh and by the way, I don't know if you've
done this yet.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I cleared my schedule for Tomorrow night into Thursday morning
up until about eight am.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Oh yeah, no, I'm on call like I am an
er doctor, ready for when the Rose Parade needs us.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
We are ready to roll.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Wearing our slickers and our ramsays and everything ready to go.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You do, I do? Don't tell me, don't tell me.
I'm not. I want to be surprised. I don't have
an outfit.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I have the same suit that I've worn for everything
that I've ever done.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Ever, is it a suit appropriate? Yeah, over the top
of it.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I think we tossed around the idea of a fedora
for you because it's going to rain.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Maybe some hunters or boots.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Well, I don't think you're ever going to see my shoes,
although I do understand and that I do need to
feel pretty.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Wing tipped, wing tipped again, I don't know my grandfather.
Maybe a loafer with a tassel.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
No, that's what Paul would wear, and I appreciate his
fashion choices.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
That is not a choice I would make.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
That's not a choice.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I could do suspenders, but underneath you'd never see them,
got it, h.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
So you could feel them? Yeah, now they're there. I
gotta know that I'm supported.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Okay, let's what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Are we doing?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Oh, yeah, true crime.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Did you not see the thing?
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Oh I got that murder from thirty years ago.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
No, it sounds made up.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
It's just in Gary and Shannon present.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
So Jean Manet, her father, says that the new evidence
in this case is a sore of optimism. It has
been thirty years since six year old Jambret Ramsey was
found dead in their home there in Boulder, Colorado, and
this report from police if you haven't heard about it
(18:15):
over the holidays, because God forbid a holiday pass without
a Jambreey Ramsey update. It was Christmas, by the way,
it was a day after Christmas when she was reported missing.
But this annual report now from police this year says
new evidence is being considered in the case.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
If the Bolder police chief himself put out a statement
a week or so ago, week and a half ago
that said, this past year, our detectives have conducted several
new interviews as well as reinterviewed individuals based on tips
we've received. We've also collected new evidence and tested and
retested other pieces of evidence to generate new leads.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
If you're guessing this revolves around DNA testing, you are
correct that technology continues to advance as it relates to
DNA testing.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Now.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Police did not outline.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Specifics what the new evidence includes, who had been interviewed,
who had been reinterviewed for the case, but the chief
went on to say, it's never too late for people
with knowledge of this terrible crime to come forward, and
I urge those responsible for this murder to contact us.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
And you know when you step.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Back for a moment and you think about this case
of this six year old girl, the type of six
year old girl that gets all the attention of a country,
international attention, and she did beauty queen, six year old,
blonde hair doll out of a box, come to life
type little girl.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
She ends up.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Dead in the homes basement. And this hasn't been solved.
Thirty years later, a case that got international attention from
go on Christmas never was solved, even though the Bolder
police went in there and messed up the whole crime
scene from the beginning. There was an odd ransom note,
(20:10):
there were odd financial figures in the note.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
It just seems like there was too much evidence.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
The girl's body, the girl's clothes, the home itself, the parents,
the sun. It just seems like there was so much
potential for evidence to be found to find out exactly
what happened. The fact that nobody knows, well, somebody knows,
but the fact that we don't know thirty years later
for a case I got so much attention is wild.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
John Ramsay was on Ashley Banfield's show just a couple
of days ago and said that this is encouraging, this
new report from the from the Boulder PD. And so
the key really in progress has been the addition of
new leadership. It wasn't very good for twenty five or
twenty six years. And now, knowing Chief Redfern from the outside,
(20:59):
I've met with him three or four times. I'm impressed
with him. I think he's sincere and honest. John Ramsey
says he hopes they'll also partner with Authrum Labs, which
is made a headline for itself when it got involved
in the Brian Coberger investigation in Idaho, and said that,
and this I think is a key. The police department
has not told Dad, has not told John Ramsey who
(21:25):
was being reinterviewed or what new evidence was being considered.
And I don't know if they that's just a matter
of they want to keep it so close to the
vest that they're not sure that he'd be able to
do that, or if it had anything to do with him.
But they haven't told him what the updates are. But
(21:46):
they are re interviewing a bunch of people.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It was the day after Christmas nineteen ninety six when
Jamboni's mother, Patsy, said that they had found a note
that the daughter had been kidnapped in the home. The
note had been the letter at down for one hundred
and eighteen thousand dollars, which, if I'm not mistaken, was
the bonus the father had received recently from work. The
note told the Ramses not to call police. Police turn up,
(22:10):
they start searching. They discover the girl's body in the
basement spare room. That raised questions right away, what the
hell your daughter? You get a note in your house?
This is your daughter's missing? You don't search the entire
home top to bottom, left and right, over and over.
Her body's discovered in that basement spare room. She has
duct tape on her mouth and her neck. They determined
(22:32):
that shit was a strangulation death immediately ruled a homicide.
Three days later, they flow the body to Atlanta. She's
buried with her older half sister, who died in a
car accident four years before. Make matters weirder. Investigator said
that that home was written inside the house, A handwriting
(22:54):
test at one point was done which eliminated the father
but did not clear the mother. Her parents remained suspects
for quite some time.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Patsy eventually died.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
She died from cancer, I believe, yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Pretty soon after within ten years.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Man, and remember Burke.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Of course, the nine year old brother at the time
was considered a potential suspect right early on.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, Man, just an awful case.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Headline has been made this week also about a former
olympian turned drug kingpin and some stuff that they have
picked up that this guy may have been collecting while
he was making all his money as a drug kingpin.
We'll talk about that when we continue True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Shocker last night on Monday Night football with the Rams
losing to the Atlanta Falcons. Rams not looking like the
world beaters. They look like just what three weeks ago.
We've got a rare NFL three way now going on
We talked about this tad yesterday. The Falcons beating the
(24:15):
Rams last night means that Saturday's Buccaneers Panthers game is
not really a true NFC South championship game. Carolina will
win the division with a victory over Tampa, but if
Tampa wins, the division won't be decided until the next day,
(24:35):
when the Falcons host the Saints. If the Buccaneers beat
the Panthers on Saturday and the Falcons beat the Saints
on Sunday, there's a three way tight all finish eight
and nine. Now, this would go to the Panthers because
they've got a three to one record among division rivals,
but it's just bizarre. So theoretically, the Panthers could lose
(25:00):
to the Buccaneers and still win the division if the
Falcons beat the Saints the next.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Day, which in that wild the Saints have been awful,
They've been No, they haven't.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
They're on a streak. They've won three in a row.
The quarterback is on fire, but they'd won two before that.
I think, yeah, they they've hit a stride for some reason.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Our True Crime Tuesday introduces us now to a guy
named Ryan Wedding, former Olympic snowboarder represented Canada at the
twenty two thousand and two Winter Olympics the men's parallel
giant slalom. But after the Olympics, you know, you get bored,
there's kind of a letdown. He becomes one of the
(25:44):
largest cocaine dealers in the entire world, to the point
where Cash Patel, head of the FBI, has compared Ryan
Wedding to major drug lords like Pablo Escobar and El
Chapo Guzman.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Wasn't there just a documentary Cocaine Quarterback making its way
around the streaming services about a quarterback that ended up
a cocaine kingpin.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, this is very well.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
I mean it's not similar, it's not football, but it's
clearly that kind of a storyline.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Well, sometimes when you've got athletes, like super athletes, athletes
that are you know, successful at the highest level, they
go on to be you know, titans of industry.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
It's like that mindset.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, I just got to figure out which industry you just.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Got to figure out. Sometimes it's cocaine.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
In this case, this guy was making headlines this week
because it was detailed that not only is he on
the FBI's ten most Wanted list. Mexican authorities seized a
bunch of property that supposedly belonged to him, including several motorcycles,
literally dozens of exotic and specialized motorcycles worth about forty
(26:53):
million dollars, among other things. So this guy goes to
the Olympics in two thousand and two. Like we said,
after he goes back, it goes back to Canada. He
goes to Simon Fraser University, got into bodybuilding, etc. Started
speculating in Wall Street, which he financed by growing marijuana.
(27:13):
About twenty years ago, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police raided
the farm and they found guns. They found millions of
dollars worth of pot, and he was not on the
property at the time, so there was not enough evidence
to actually charge him. But he expanded his operation when
he was joining up with cocaine smugglers from places like
(27:35):
Iran and Russia. In twenty ten, he was convicted of
attempting to buy cocaine from a government agent, a US
government agent in two thousand and eight, sentenced to four
years in prison, did about three years, and at about
that time started feeling like this was his plan. Just
October of last year, still over a year ago, he
(27:58):
was officially charged by the Department of just This our
Department of Justice for leading a transnational organized crime group
that engaged in cocaine trafficking and murder, including innocent civilians.
He's charged multiple felonies. One of sixteen people charged as
part of Operation Giant Slalom, and the murders, by the way,
(28:18):
that he's accused of having carried out were a married
couple and another individual, thirty nine year old guy. The
married couple was killed in November twenty three, the single
guy killed in May of last year. He was believed
to have ordered the murders because apparently those people were
going to testify against him in the big federal case. Now,
(28:42):
according to authorities, since he got out in twenty eleven,
he went to Mexico. That's why the Mexican authorities found
these motorcycles allegedly, and he became a high ranking member
in the Sinaloa cartel.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Wow, good for him.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
The alleged second command of the trafficking ring was arrested
in October of last year, and as I mentioned, having
ordered the murder of a federal witness potentially in Colombia
as well.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Like that's really making your own name for yourself. You
are a slalom guy, right, the slalom.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Snowboard, giant slalom snowboard.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Giant slalom guy.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
And you're able to work your way into and into
the upper echelon of a Mexican drug cartel. Seems being
a slalom guy that's pretty cool. Like that's quite a pivot.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
And if you're waiting for the documentary, there is one
in production supposedly called snow King from Olympian to Narco.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
That's clever.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
It's a collaboration between Rolling Stone Films and a couple
of places out of London and Canada. But so this
guy is going to be caught at some point. But
the Mercedes they also picked up, I said, the sixties
some odd motorcycles worth forty million bucks. Those are expensive.
(30:04):
If they're sixty of them and they're worth a forty
million bucks, that's an expensive motorcycle each one.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Oh yeah, those are drug run in motorcycles.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
The seizure of a rare two thousand and two Mercedes
CLKGTR roadster part.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Of the ongoing man hunt.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
As of right now, there's a reward ten million dollars
from the United States and five million from others up
to fifteen million for information leading to his arrest and
or conviction. So he's on the FBI's top ten most
wanted list. That's as of March, I believe of this year.
So good for him. Good for him finding some business,
(30:42):
you know, to do after he He didn't peak when
he was when he was an Olympic snowboarder.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Most other people, probably mean.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Most slalom guys show up at the drug cartel meeting,
they'd be laughed out of that room.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah, so what did you do before you got into
cocaine trafficking?
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Oh, you know, giants parallel Slalom.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
I don't think that's how the interview goes with the cartel.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I've never been in Rubigard.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I think it goes more along the lines of the
Chris Little KFI News interview. He's more of a cartel
kind of guy. Because Chris Little had a question he'd
ask everybody in the KFI newsroom, which used to be
the newsroom over there. It's now sealed off in this building,
but he used to say, all right, imagine you are
put into a blender. You're shrunken down and you're put
(31:27):
into a blender. How do you get out that? Now,
that's a cartel question, right, because you've got to think creatively.
You're in a dangerous situation.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
You could die.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
How are you going to not die? That's that's cartel
s right there.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Not what did you do before you started trafficking cocaine?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
No, the takeaway is Chris Little has a better shot
at running a cartel than you do.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Probably true, It's probably true. All right, John probably got
more product. He's up next, see you tomorrow. Our Good
or Bad twenty twenty five show what good or Bad?
We'll work on the title, but it's like, what happened
that was good?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
What happened that was?
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah, we want to know what you think too, But
I don't want to hear about, like, you know, really
bad stuff. You keep it light, bad stuff like that
one time in April, I slept in a puddle.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I broke my shoelace.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, all right, John's coming up next, See you tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
State Drive.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Everybody 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 app,
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
For all your times in Temple.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
You've never met a female rap It's so funny, so
crazy odd.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I'm winning the bet as of right now.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
In Central Carolina's beating Louisiana Tech seven to nothing. Yes
here in the second quarter. Rams lost to the Falcons
on Monday Night Football. Last night, Chargers announced Justin Herbert
it's not even going to suit up for Sundays thanks
regular season finale.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
I mean, he's been playing with a broken hand for
four weeks.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Well, and you said, you said yesterday it was kind
of the expectation that there's the expectation to play for Really.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Everybody remembers what happened when the Chargers went into Denver
in a pointless game when they were already in the
playoffs and they were going to be a wild card team,
same scenario, and Brandon.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Staley decided to play the starters.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
For momentum, and Mike Williams was hurt late in the
game with a back injury was not available for them
when they went to the first playoff game, Justin Herbert
had ever played in Jacksonville, and that was a disaster,
unmitigated disaster, because he.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Did not have Mike Williams.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So for Chargers fans hearing that they're going to arrest
the starters who they can, it's music to your ears.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
And as of right now, that's where the Chargers would
end up, right, is Jacksonville?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, but if they lose to Denver, then it's reshuffled.
The likely scenario is the Chargers will probably go to
New England and play the Patriots, which is great because
sounds like fun. The Patriots are red hot, no doubt
about that. Drake May fantastic second year. The Chargers did
(01:46):
play this iteration of the Patriots last December.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I believe they beat them forty to seven.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And as good as Drake May is in the MVP discussion,
he doesn't have any playoff experience, which counts.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
It does count. Also, lacking in.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
New England is pass rush, and everybody knows who's watched
the Chargers. The offensive line has been struggling, to say
the least, so the absence of a pass rush in
New England is kind of an ideal matchup.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I still want to know one's going to be Beyonce
is now a billionaire. That's wonderful. Quick quiz.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, because of a renaissance world tour, because of the
Cowboy Carter whole thing. Only four other musicians have ever
become billionaires.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Do you know who they are?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Singular acts?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Singular acts individuals that have become billionaires. Michael Jackson, No,
Celine Dionna, No, more current than that, more current.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Or I should say Taylor Swift is one of them. Okay,
jay Z is another one.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Wow, Bruce Springsteen, Wow, I would not have guessed that.
And Rihanna really Yeah, billionaires because of their music. Wow,
and other products too, but I mean sure, primarily music,
those makeup brands.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Manesh, tell me about it. What else is going on?
Time for what's happening?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Well, the rain is coming back.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
In fact, it's rain and right now in Burbank and
other parts of the San Fernando Valley. This rain is
expected to kind of just pitddle through the day today.
Tomorrow is when we expect to see significant amounts of
rain coming in and that will stick with us through
Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Very likely that it will.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Rain and potentially some heavy rain on the Rose Parade
Unday morning.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
That could be another way that we could get in.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Like, rain doesn't deter you an I no, you know,
we'll We'll call the parade in the rain.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I'll wear a garbage bad I'll wear a garbage bag
as well. You might want to throw on some flowers,
Oh sure, just a umbrellas theme not permitted along the route.
So if you are planning on bringing your umbrella it
blocks a view, it will not be permitted. Obviously, you
should wear rain jacket or poncho, but no umbrellas. That's
(04:20):
kind of funny because they showed earlier today the two
thousand and six Rose barid, which is the last time
it rained, and a bunch of people had umbrellas.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh yeah, it was so cold too. That was a
very cold cold deer e Coli. In your ground beef,
where's the beef?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Check it? Check that beef. This is a massive recall
sixteen ounce vacuum sealed packages labeled Forward Farms grass fed
ground beef.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
The expiration date is January thirteenth. The effected beef also
has the establishment number twenty eighty three to zero eight
three and I guess some of it. It comes out
of Idaho but was shipped to California. Yeah, so again
Forward Farms grass fed ground beef.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Three hikers have died on Mount Baldy. One fell five
hundred feet. The hikers were found dead by rescue crews
and Devil's Backbone area of Mount Baldy. Search and Rescue
team responded about eleven thirty am yesterday after the teens
hiking companion found cell service provided GPS coordinates to assist rescuers.
(05:30):
They found the injured hiker, along with two additional individuals
nearby who have not been identified.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
A very poorly written story.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
This is an.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Awfully written story. So it's okay.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
So the nineteen year old man fell five hundred feet
in Mount Baldy. His friend called was able to give
GPS coordinates to the rescuers. They found that nineteen year
old man who died because of the fall, and in
doing so they found two other bodies not I'm asking
the question, two other bodies not with this.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Party Originally when they were looking for they originally they
did say they were looking for three people, that one
of them had fallen, and it would make more sense
if one of them had fallen, one was able to
call and give GPS coordinates, and then possibly the two
went to go try to help or wrest. How would
(06:24):
they die falling doing so? Falling the five hundred feet
that's possible. Bad time a year to be going to baldy.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Tatianda Schlosberg has died, daughter of Caroline Kennedy and granddaughter
of JFK. She had just thirty five years old. She
had told The New Yorker last month she was diagnosed
with a rare mutation of acute Mylloyd leukemia.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Is that how I say it?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I think so?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
After giving birth to her second child, she was diagnosed
in May of last year, she said, during my latest
clinical trial, the doctor told me he could keep me
alive for a year.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
My son might have a few memories, but he'll probably
start confusing them with pictures he sees or stories he hears.
I didn't ever really get to take care of my daughter.
I couldn't change her diaper, or give her a bath,
or feed her all of the because of the risk
of infection after my transplants.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
How awful.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I can't even imagine another tragedy for the Kennedy family.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
There. That's an awful story.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Do you have anything good?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Uplifting?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
All school districts in California are going to have to
have cell phone policies next year.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
No, don't you have something good about, like a panda
making friends with a tortoise or something.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I'll find something and you're gonna love it. Thank you,
Mary Love that will continue a good story. She's gonna
love it.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
A six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
The music is really good today, Gary and Shannon KFI
AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Okay,
I'm ready for my panda and tortoise friendship story.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Well, I'm not gonna start with pandas and tortoises just yet.
But I do have some good news stories oka happened
this year? Okay, the good news stories.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Wait, we've already done them.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
We already know about it.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I don't think we've done these. There's one that makes
me very uncomfortable. We'll talk about that one last. Oh,
but it is considered a good news story.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Put me.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
The first one is very very good.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Up in Stockton, the fire department says that the fire
department employees had twenty two babies this year. The Stockton
Fire Department itself had twenty two babies in one.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, that doesn't surprise me because of how tight knit
fire families are, and they're all probably around the same age.
They come through the department together, they're all young, all
the wives are friends. The one has a baby, the
other one wants a baby. It spreads like wildfire.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
The Stockton Fire Department posted on their Facebook page and
their other social media just a couple of days ago
they were able to.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Gather most of them.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
The fire department employee, if it was mother or father
holding the baby for all of them out in front.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Of their one of their big fire trucks. That's sweet.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
It's very sweet. That's sweet. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
All grow up together in the fire department. They'll be wonderful.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Ruben Tala is an Air Force staff sergeant. He and
his wife i Vett, and their baby were driving up
Highway fifty to Lake Tahoe on just before Christmas, and
up in front of them, just a short distance in
front of them, an suv spun off the road onto
the right shoulder and almost tumbled down an embankment. The
(09:56):
only reason that the suv didn't tumble down on the
embankment was held up by a dead tree on the
side of the road.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
And I mean it's up.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Imagine the hill on the side of the road, and
the suv is on its right wheels, right, it's on
its right side, but leaning on this dead tree trunk
that's holding it up. Rubin and his wife Yvette, jump
out of the car, their car. They grab a bunch
of other people around who are passing by, and they're
(10:28):
able to pull the two people and the two dogs
out of that suv before it rolls down the hill.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Wow, that's incredible. That's good.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Great story.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
That's a good story.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
What's the one that makes you uncomfortable?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Okay, this is a little bit crazier. Chester County, Pennsylvania.
About thirty years ago, a second grader was assigned.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
A high school pen pal.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I don't think they'd do that these days, But again,
this was thirty years ago. During the school year nineteen
ninety four and ninety five. Megan Lewis was in the
second grade and she exchanged letters with a high school
junior named Suzanne. And when Megan was visiting her family
for Thanksgiving, she went through some of her old papers
(11:10):
from elementary school and saw some of those pen pal
letters that she had written to her high school friend
named Suzanne, So she searched for her pen pal on Google.
As it turns out, Suzanne is doctor Suzanne Pew.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Now, first of all, apparently women can be doctors.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Now, doctor Suzanne Pew works at the Exia Women's Health
mainline obgyn.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Oh, well, it's a woman's place that she gets to
be a doctor.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I didn't make judgement that should make you feel more comfortable.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I can see why the story makes you uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
But wait, there's more. Doctor Suzanne is Meghan's doctor.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Wow. And she never knew it.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Wow until just a few weeks ago. Meghan says, my
mouth dropped. I could not believe that my pen pal
was doctor Puke.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Gives me chill.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Was my OBGYN who delivered my kids?
Speaker 5 (12:16):
How cool?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
A small world?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
They actually said that they there was a reunion between
these two. Reading that letters, they found out they did
actually meet in person during their correspondence in the nineties,
and the doctor says, I've always felt like Megan was
just a special person.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
We really connected.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
It was amazing for whatever reason, and our universes collided
again thirty years later. She said, our paths crossed in
the nineties and it just felt like we mean it.
I felt feel like that just means we're meant to
be connected forever. Pugh said she trained and spent some
time in the military and then settled back in Westchester, Pennsylvania,
(12:54):
where her family's from. So it's always really fun. When
she learned she's taking care of people. She knew that
when she was like.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
That's a nice story. That's very sweet.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
It's a very cool story. See, I have good stories
in me.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
You did.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Richie threw a picture of a seal on a caught
in a net.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yeah, Richie's like, here's a good story.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
It's about an animal and it's like a picture of
a seal in a net.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
A seal in a net. Yeah, it's awesome. It was
a cute story.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Yeah, I know. Don't let the pick the picture fool you.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
The fisherman was in a rowboat on the River Burr
in Norfolk when the gray seal went after his day's
catch of fish, and the seal locked looked up at
the stun fish. Fisherman from inside the net before the
fisherman was able to call a rescue charity to come.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Help, or did he somebody had some seals me.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
All the pictures are the seals still in the net.
I don't see any of the seal outside the net.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The seal pup. They named it Sunshine.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Here's another story from Richie that he says is good.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Flat headed cat.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Seen in Thailand for the first time in thirty years. Well,
thank god for that. The flat headed cats are back.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Oh cute.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
No, the last time they saw a flat headed cat
in Thailand was when Meghan Lewis was writing to her
high school pen pal.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Oh look at you.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Full circle moment like that. Wait to bring it around.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
And the babies the Stock and Fire department. You had
a bunch of babies. Yeah, this doctor happens to.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Be an obgyn.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Where does the seal in the net come in?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
That was a Curveball's good at throwing curveballs?
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Is that a cat? The flat headed cats?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Do you have cats? Richie?
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
What are their names?
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Wait, Chloe? No, no, Magnum, magnum, Oh my.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
God, yes for that?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Oh my god? Why do I ask questions like the
ice Why do you ask.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Questions like the ice cream? All right, I'm done asking questions.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Wait, the other one's name is Trojan? No?
Speaker 6 (15:12):
I have one?
Speaker 4 (15:14):
What does Ramses mean?
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Never mind?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
What I following? The joke is that I'm not going
to explain it because if you have to, if I
have to explain it, it's not funny.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh my god, I'll let the boys explain it to me.
What's the other cat's name, Ritchie?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (15:30):
I only have one.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Oh, it's just it's just the one. I'm lost, same Ramseys.
What a stupid name for a Is it a name
for a condom? That's a weird name?
Speaker 6 (15:46):
Right, I've never heard of it because I don't worry.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Okay, let's go to the news lost again.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Clean it all up in the new year, right, like,
we're just getting it all out of our system today
and tomorrow, and then we starting on Monday, things are
going to be a lot different around.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Oh and by the way, I don't know if you've
done this yet.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I cleared my schedule for Tomorrow night into Thursday morning
up until about eight am.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Oh yeah, no, I'm on call like I am an
er doctor, ready for when the Rose Parade needs us.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
We are ready to roll.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Wearing our slickers and our ramsays and everything ready to go.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You do, I do? Don't tell me, don't tell me.
I'm not. I want to be surprised. I don't have
an outfit.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I have the same suit that I've worn for everything
that I've ever done.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Ever, is it a suit appropriate? Yeah, over the top
of it.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I think we tossed around the idea of a fedora
for you because it's going to rain.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Maybe some hunters or boots.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Well, I don't think you're ever going to see my shoes,
although I do understand and that I do need to
feel pretty.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Wing tipped, wing tipped again, I don't know my grandfather.
Maybe a loafer with a tassel.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
No, that's what Paul would wear, and I appreciate his
fashion choices.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
That is not a choice I would make.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
That's not a choice.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I could do suspenders, but underneath you'd never see them,
got it, h.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
So you could feel them? Yeah, now they're there. I
gotta know that I'm supported.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Okay, let's what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Are we doing?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Oh, yeah, true crime.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Did you not see the thing?
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Oh I got that murder from thirty years ago.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
No, it sounds made up.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
It's just in Gary and Shannon present.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
So Jean Manet, her father, says that the new evidence
in this case is a sore of optimism. It has
been thirty years since six year old Jambret Ramsey was
found dead in their home there in Boulder, Colorado, and
this report from police if you haven't heard about it
(18:15):
over the holidays, because God forbid a holiday pass without
a Jambreey Ramsey update. It was Christmas, by the way,
it was a day after Christmas when she was reported missing.
But this annual report now from police this year says
new evidence is being considered in the case.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
If the Bolder police chief himself put out a statement
a week or so ago, week and a half ago
that said, this past year, our detectives have conducted several
new interviews as well as reinterviewed individuals based on tips
we've received. We've also collected new evidence and tested and
retested other pieces of evidence to generate new leads.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
If you're guessing this revolves around DNA testing, you are
correct that technology continues to advance as it relates to
DNA testing.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Now.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Police did not outline.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Specifics what the new evidence includes, who had been interviewed,
who had been reinterviewed for the case, but the chief
went on to say, it's never too late for people
with knowledge of this terrible crime to come forward, and
I urge those responsible for this murder to contact us.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
And you know when you step.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Back for a moment and you think about this case
of this six year old girl, the type of six
year old girl that gets all the attention of a country,
international attention, and she did beauty queen, six year old,
blonde hair doll out of a box, come to life
type little girl.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
She ends up.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Dead in the homes basement. And this hasn't been solved.
Thirty years later, a case that got international attention from
go on Christmas never was solved, even though the Bolder
police went in there and messed up the whole crime
scene from the beginning. There was an odd ransom note,
(20:10):
there were odd financial figures in the note.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
It just seems like there was too much evidence.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
The girl's body, the girl's clothes, the home itself, the parents,
the sun. It just seems like there was so much
potential for evidence to be found to find out exactly
what happened. The fact that nobody knows, well, somebody knows,
but the fact that we don't know thirty years later
for a case I got so much attention is wild.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
John Ramsay was on Ashley Banfield's show just a couple
of days ago and said that this is encouraging, this
new report from the from the Boulder PD. And so
the key really in progress has been the addition of
new leadership. It wasn't very good for twenty five or
twenty six years. And now, knowing Chief Redfern from the outside,
(20:59):
I've met with him three or four times. I'm impressed
with him. I think he's sincere and honest. John Ramsey
says he hopes they'll also partner with Authrum Labs, which
is made a headline for itself when it got involved
in the Brian Coberger investigation in Idaho, and said that,
and this I think is a key. The police department
has not told Dad, has not told John Ramsey who
(21:25):
was being reinterviewed or what new evidence was being considered.
And I don't know if they that's just a matter
of they want to keep it so close to the
vest that they're not sure that he'd be able to
do that, or if it had anything to do with him.
But they haven't told him what the updates are. But
(21:46):
they are re interviewing a bunch of people.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It was the day after Christmas nineteen ninety six when
Jamboni's mother, Patsy, said that they had found a note
that the daughter had been kidnapped in the home. The
note had been the letter at down for one hundred
and eighteen thousand dollars, which, if I'm not mistaken, was
the bonus the father had received recently from work. The
note told the Ramses not to call police. Police turn up,
(22:10):
they start searching. They discover the girl's body in the
basement spare room. That raised questions right away, what the
hell your daughter? You get a note in your house?
This is your daughter's missing? You don't search the entire
home top to bottom, left and right, over and over.
Her body's discovered in that basement spare room. She has
duct tape on her mouth and her neck. They determined
(22:32):
that shit was a strangulation death immediately ruled a homicide.
Three days later, they flow the body to Atlanta. She's
buried with her older half sister, who died in a
car accident four years before. Make matters weirder. Investigator said
that that home was written inside the house, A handwriting
(22:54):
test at one point was done which eliminated the father
but did not clear the mother. Her parents remained suspects
for quite some time.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Patsy eventually died.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
She died from cancer, I believe, yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Pretty soon after within ten years.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Man, and remember Burke.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Of course, the nine year old brother at the time
was considered a potential suspect right early on.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, Man, just an awful case.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Headline has been made this week also about a former
olympian turned drug kingpin and some stuff that they have
picked up that this guy may have been collecting while
he was making all his money as a drug kingpin.
We'll talk about that when we continue True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Shocker last night on Monday Night football with the Rams
losing to the Atlanta Falcons. Rams not looking like the
world beaters. They look like just what three weeks ago.
We've got a rare NFL three way now going on
We talked about this tad yesterday. The Falcons beating the
(24:15):
Rams last night means that Saturday's Buccaneers Panthers game is
not really a true NFC South championship game. Carolina will
win the division with a victory over Tampa, but if
Tampa wins, the division won't be decided until the next day,
(24:35):
when the Falcons host the Saints. If the Buccaneers beat
the Panthers on Saturday and the Falcons beat the Saints
on Sunday, there's a three way tight all finish eight
and nine. Now, this would go to the Panthers because
they've got a three to one record among division rivals,
but it's just bizarre. So theoretically, the Panthers could lose
(25:00):
to the Buccaneers and still win the division if the
Falcons beat the Saints the next.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Day, which in that wild the Saints have been awful,
They've been No, they haven't.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
They're on a streak. They've won three in a row.
The quarterback is on fire, but they'd won two before that.
I think, yeah, they they've hit a stride for some reason.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Our True Crime Tuesday introduces us now to a guy
named Ryan Wedding, former Olympic snowboarder represented Canada at the
twenty two thousand and two Winter Olympics the men's parallel
giant slalom. But after the Olympics, you know, you get bored,
there's kind of a letdown. He becomes one of the
(25:44):
largest cocaine dealers in the entire world, to the point
where Cash Patel, head of the FBI, has compared Ryan
Wedding to major drug lords like Pablo Escobar and El
Chapo Guzman.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Wasn't there just a documentary Cocaine Quarterback making its way
around the streaming services about a quarterback that ended up
a cocaine kingpin.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, this is very well.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
I mean it's not similar, it's not football, but it's
clearly that kind of a storyline.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Well, sometimes when you've got athletes, like super athletes, athletes
that are you know, successful at the highest level, they
go on to be you know, titans of industry.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
It's like that mindset.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, I just got to figure out which industry you just.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Got to figure out. Sometimes it's cocaine.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
In this case, this guy was making headlines this week
because it was detailed that not only is he on
the FBI's ten most Wanted list. Mexican authorities seized a
bunch of property that supposedly belonged to him, including several motorcycles,
literally dozens of exotic and specialized motorcycles worth about forty
(26:53):
million dollars, among other things. So this guy goes to
the Olympics in two thousand and two. Like we said,
after he goes back, it goes back to Canada. He
goes to Simon Fraser University, got into bodybuilding, etc. Started
speculating in Wall Street, which he financed by growing marijuana.
(27:13):
About twenty years ago, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police raided
the farm and they found guns. They found millions of
dollars worth of pot, and he was not on the
property at the time, so there was not enough evidence
to actually charge him. But he expanded his operation when
he was joining up with cocaine smugglers from places like
(27:35):
Iran and Russia. In twenty ten, he was convicted of
attempting to buy cocaine from a government agent, a US
government agent in two thousand and eight, sentenced to four
years in prison, did about three years, and at about
that time started feeling like this was his plan. Just
October of last year, still over a year ago, he
(27:58):
was officially charged by the Department of just This our
Department of Justice for leading a transnational organized crime group
that engaged in cocaine trafficking and murder, including innocent civilians.
He's charged multiple felonies. One of sixteen people charged as
part of Operation Giant Slalom, and the murders, by the way,
(28:18):
that he's accused of having carried out were a married
couple and another individual, thirty nine year old guy. The
married couple was killed in November twenty three, the single
guy killed in May of last year. He was believed
to have ordered the murders because apparently those people were
going to testify against him in the big federal case. Now,
(28:42):
according to authorities, since he got out in twenty eleven,
he went to Mexico. That's why the Mexican authorities found
these motorcycles allegedly, and he became a high ranking member
in the Sinaloa cartel.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Wow, good for him.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
The alleged second command of the trafficking ring was arrested
in October of last year, and as I mentioned, having
ordered the murder of a federal witness potentially in Colombia
as well.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Like that's really making your own name for yourself. You
are a slalom guy, right, the slalom.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Snowboard, giant slalom snowboard.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Giant slalom guy.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
And you're able to work your way into and into
the upper echelon of a Mexican drug cartel. Seems being
a slalom guy that's pretty cool. Like that's quite a pivot.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
And if you're waiting for the documentary, there is one
in production supposedly called snow King from Olympian to Narco.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
That's clever.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
It's a collaboration between Rolling Stone Films and a couple
of places out of London and Canada. But so this
guy is going to be caught at some point. But
the Mercedes they also picked up, I said, the sixties
some odd motorcycles worth forty million bucks. Those are expensive.
(30:04):
If they're sixty of them and they're worth a forty
million bucks, that's an expensive motorcycle each one.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Oh yeah, those are drug run in motorcycles.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
The seizure of a rare two thousand and two Mercedes
CLKGTR roadster part.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Of the ongoing man hunt.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
As of right now, there's a reward ten million dollars
from the United States and five million from others up
to fifteen million for information leading to his arrest and
or conviction. So he's on the FBI's top ten most
wanted list. That's as of March, I believe of this year.
So good for him. Good for him finding some business,
(30:42):
you know, to do after he He didn't peak when
he was when he was an Olympic snowboarder.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Most other people, probably mean.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Most slalom guys show up at the drug cartel meeting,
they'd be laughed out of that room.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah, so what did you do before you got into
cocaine trafficking?
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Oh, you know, giants parallel Slalom.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
I don't think that's how the interview goes with the cartel.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I've never been in Rubigard.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I think it goes more along the lines of the
Chris Little KFI News interview. He's more of a cartel
kind of guy. Because Chris Little had a question he'd
ask everybody in the KFI newsroom, which used to be
the newsroom over there. It's now sealed off in this building,
but he used to say, all right, imagine you are
put into a blender. You're shrunken down and you're put
(31:27):
into a blender. How do you get out that? Now,
that's a cartel question, right, because you've got to think creatively.
You're in a dangerous situation.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
You could die.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
How are you going to not die? That's that's cartel
s right there.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Not what did you do before you started trafficking cocaine?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
No, the takeaway is Chris Little has a better shot
at running a cartel than you do.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Probably true, It's probably true. All right, John probably got
more product. He's up next, see you tomorrow. Our Good
or Bad twenty twenty five show what good or Bad?
We'll work on the title, but it's like, what happened
that was good?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
What happened that was?
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah, we want to know what you think too, But
I don't want to hear about, like, you know, really
bad stuff. You keep it light, bad stuff like that
one time in April, I slept in a puddle.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I broke my shoelace.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, all right, John's coming up next, See you tomorrow.
