Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M. Six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh, how's the sixth episode of Virgin River? Exactly your row.
I had noticed the couches. The couch called me and
once it's a cushioned back.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I've noticed your cholesterol, says, you've had four pieces of garlic, cheese, bread, fatty.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
No, this was another one of my Christmas guests.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
My daughter has had one for several months and she
told me it would help me learn my cycle better.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, and you're so, let me know when your cycle
kicks in so I can put it in my calendar.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Here's the best thing about I don't know the best thing.
It says, there was one thing on here this morning
that was like your symptom tracker, is what it was.
And my wife has had a cold for the last
couple of days, so I've been looking at that to
see is it gonna am I gonna get it whatever
she's got.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It seems a little soft for you.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Usually you would just grunt it out, like I said,
there if I'm getting a cold.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
She's had it for three days and we lived together.
It's crazy how it happens, and often sleep in the
same bed. Yeah, it's also crazy how that I'm fine
so far?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Of course you are far. I mean, I don't know
what you have a constitution of a street dog, yes, well,
but they can also get cold. So I realized in
the break I really need a job, Like if we
get fired, I'm going to need a job right away.
Yesterday was day two of just sitting in my pajamas
and two that's it, not leaving the couch. Day two
(01:26):
of well, well, I did have some work. I did
go to New England for the game. Right wasn't as
cold as it could have been. It was forty three degrees.
I wasn't cold for a second the entire game. I
didn't even get in. I didn't put gloves on, I
didn't get next to the heater.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Did I tell you? No, I did not tell you
because I haven't seen you. So they The first time
we spoke was last night.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Right called me and I thought something was I thought
you were going to tell me, like, you know what,
I'm gonna take a cat.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I was going to say that.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
No, just had a question about a bar in Pedaluma. Oh, right.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
But so the boys, Matt and DJ, who do the
Chargers radio broadcast, do an interview with the coach before
the game. They do it usually the day before the game,
maybe two days before the game, depends out. Sure, these
idiots are talking to Jim Harbaugh and DJ says to him, Hey,
(02:23):
it's gonna be pretty cold in the booth. Uh, you
think the equipment guy can get us some gloves because
you know, we're we're soft, We're not like you guys.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Like it was the worst.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
It was the most cringe cringey question I've ever heard
in my life. And Coach Harbaugh, to his credit, was like,
I don't know what you what, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Like he was just completely glossed over, did not even
listen even get it.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I'm like, you idiots, I don't want my fingerprints on
your crime scene. I want to be associated with somebody
that's going to ask Coach Harbaugh for gloves because.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
They're going to be too cold in the booth. You
had to come up, Coach, I'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Just so yeah, yeah, I made it a point, by
the way, That's why I brought it up that I
didn't wear gloves the entire game on the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Like, hey, look at me over here. No gloves. I'm
not even in the booth. No gloves.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You should have said on your sideline reports, hey guys,
I'm waving to you down here from.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
The sidelines without gloves. Gloves. Well, your Christmas was here?
Was it somewhere else? I don't remember when was Christmas?
This was just a week ago.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh, Christmas was here, okay, at my husband's dad's house,
my father in law's house.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You didn't travel very much at all that outside of
football stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I did go to Sacramento at some point right early on.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
That was the beginning of it, okay. And that was
the day that my wife filled in.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Oh yes, and I was so terrified that it was
going to just be a car wreck. Why because I
don't know, I'm nervous. I've never been in that situation.
But we've interviewed her before. But for goofy fun stuff.
I mean, we were and there were some serious stuff
that we were talking about. And I fell in love
with her twice in that four hours.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It was great. That's so sweet. I'm glad that you
fell in love with your wife and not Marla. She's
pregnant with someone else's baby. That's clear.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I mean, I mean your husband, but.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
That's not your baby. No, we got a bunch of
mail we'll have to get through.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Oh, I have a I have a big favor to
ask everybody today as well, walk.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Up song for the for the stripper for baseball camp.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
They asked me what song I want for walk up
st I have a couple of different options.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I'm open to others as well.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Funny, yeah, well listen, Trumpet of Jesus was definitely on
the was one of the suggestions.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
But I will feel like little sacrilege it is.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I'll ask a little bit later. We'll get into some
of those that are coming up. Happy New Year to everybody.
This is how we start darting.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
So this is going to shock you. But I'm trying something.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I'm going to try and do the whole dry January thing, okay.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And us hope it sticks. But yesterday was the first
of January, right, you called me? Yeah, No, I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Staying it's today, Okay, because I had the neighbors party yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Not drink there, right, jus one right, okay, that's fine
with this gear started with a bang, pardon the pun.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But we had this attack in New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Right, guy drives an electric truck through Bourbon Street and
kills fourteen people and then ends up on the backside
of the police guns that were shooting at him, and
then the cyber truck. The other electric truck that was
parked in front of Trump's condos. There's no casino there.
Trump's Condos in Vegas and blows up but doesn't leave
(05:47):
us scratch on those glass doors that were right next
to it.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What an ad At first, I thought it was maybe
just a truck, a Tesla that malfunctioned, because they love
to make the news every time they tesla that malfunctions.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But looks like this guy was a Green.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Beret, Yeah, and underestimated the way an explosion would be
handled by the frame of a cyber truck.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
So Elon Musk listened. He was out there early on
and was like, this wasn't us.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I mean that thing was on fire for a while,
just living its life on fire, and then but doing nothing.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
As they drive it away, you know, under a tarp,
it looks like it's fine outside, you know, the losing
the tailgate or whatever they call that roll.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Top, babe. It was Elon Musk.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I doubt it, but hey, there's all kinds of conspiracy theories.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I love a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
We will talk with Rory O'Neil about the New Orleans
crash attack. We've got information about the cyber truck in Vegas,
some terror in the skies obviously to get to And
the biggest story of the tail end of twenty twenty
four going into twenty twenty five is Blake Lively versus
whatever his name is, Baldoni.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Whoa just a man, Justin Baldoni. That sounds about right.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
And it's not just the allegation that she made against
him or he made against her.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's this dirty ass.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
World of the publicist Hollywood pr Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Remember when that publicist was murdered. I remember Eric Leonard
covering it. It was so long ago, but it was
this weird. She was like targeted in her car on
Beverly Hills, I think, and it kind of opens.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It looked like a crash.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, it opened my eyes to the underbelly of Hollywood
and what goes on with publicists and the competition and
the warfare that exists.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
The FBI gave an update just this morning.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
First and foremost, let me be very clear about this point.
This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and
an evil act.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
That was FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Rayah. This morning.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Rory O'Neil is covering the story for US. Joins US
now with all of the latest Rory probably still a
scene there on Bourbon Street.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
It certainly is.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
And of course the city of New Orleans is in
preparation mode. In just a few hours, kickoff of the
Sugar Bowl is expected. So the governor at the press
conference a short time ago trying to put out the
message that the community is resilient and is pushing forward,
not letting this gruesome act of terror stop the city
from moving forward. But a lot of information contained in
(08:17):
that update a short time ago.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
There was a little bit, I mean, in that end
of security.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Obviously, we've got the big Marti Gras celebration that always
happens in New Orleans. We've got Super Bowl back there
in a couple of weeks, and then today is the
Sugar Bowl, the postponed game from last night that will
be played. Has there been a discussion of ramping up
security even more for these already high profile events, right.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
So the Super Bowl is considered one of those national events,
like a presidential inauguration or a Republican convention. It's one
of those national security events. The Sugar Bowl is not.
Historically neither is Marti Gras. But essentially now they're saying
they're going to have the same kind of security footprint
in place for the Sugar Bowl today. They've been bringing
(09:03):
in National Guard troops to beef up the police presence
there and make it more obvious. But the fact that
we heard from law enforcement a few minutes ago say
they now believe that this was the act of a
lone figure, a lone wolf, that really does ease a
lot of minds. The concern was that the man who
drove through Bourbon Street may have had other accomplices who
(09:25):
may have been plotting something to happen at the game today.
But now it looks like this was a loan actor.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
This is a guy who's been divorced a couple times,
he was in the military, he was trying or had
a real estate license at some point. Is there any
idea that this was somebody searching for something and fell
into the isis web web for lack of a better term,
because he did announce his support for ISIS in the
(09:53):
hours leading up to this, right.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
He recorded videos while driving from Texas to New Orleans
in that truck, and some of those in those videos,
he pronounces his support of ISIS and leaves a last
will and testament, even said he considered harming his own family.
But exactly what radicalized him is still a bit of
a question. And you know, we're going to hear that
term that this was an ISIS inspired attack a lot,
(10:18):
But what you want to know is really was this
an ISIS directed attack? Did members of ISIS from the
Middle East somehow try to influence this guy urge him
on to commit this kind of atrocity.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
One of the.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
One of the reports from this morning suggested that New
Orleans Police and other law enforcement agencies in the area,
we're not expecting a sidewalk style attack. I mean, this
guy had to drive around parked police cars to get
to Bourbon Street. But those kinds of attacks are what
we've seen recently. I mean, just just two weeks ago
(10:53):
in Germany, there was somebody who who drove through a
Christmas market in a very similar style of using the
vehicle itself as the weapon.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
In a very crowded area.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
And we've seen this more and more that just the
vehicle itself is the weapon. Oftentimes then they are armed
with a machete or with a gun, and after the
vehicle crashes, they start shooting people or start stabbing people,
knowing that this is a suicide mission and they will
be killed. But what we're not seeing is, you know,
back in the day, there used to be more and
more car bombs. I'm thinking of, you know, I'm Rory O'Neill.
(11:27):
I'm thinking of my Irish heritage and the ira attacking
the English and.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They would use car bombs. But now you don't even
need that technology.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
You just need a person at the wheel driving through
a big crowd like this, And so it really does
dumb down the process and mean that these kinds of
lone wolves are that much more dangerous because they can
be anyone anywhere.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I've gone to a Super Bowl at the Superdome there
and what I remember was walking a great distance because
all the streets around the Superdome are kind of shut down,
and the huge crowds of people walking several blocks there.
What are they doing about that situation? For the Sugar Bowl?
(12:10):
This evening in terms of protecting those crowds from another
copycout attack or someone just being an idiot.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Well, it's going to be a deployment of a lot
more officers on the ground and expanding that perimeter. Keep
in mind, the super Dome is only about a mile
or so, let I think one point five one point
two miles from where this happens, so it's essentially the
same part of the city, and the security footprint is
just expanding as a result of what happened. And again
(12:40):
I think they'd be more on guard and then take
more aggressive actions to block off roads, not with just
a loan police car, perhaps multiple vehicles, garbage trucks, other
things that could do a much better job of blocking
off a street and preventing something like this.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Again, Rory, great stuff, Thank you, Thanks talk to you
so r Neil there with the latest out of New Orleans.
I mentioned the news conference from this morning that not
a whole lot of new information that came out this morning.
Governor Jeff Landry was there, and I mentioned that FBI
Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Rayah. One of the things that
did come out and they added a little bit of
context to was videos that this guy had posted, apparently
(13:19):
while he was driving the truck from Houston into Louisiana.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
There were five videos posted on Jabbar's Facebook account, which
are time stamped, beginning at one twenty nine am and
the last at three h two am. In the first video,
Jabbar explains he originally planned to harm his family and friends,
but was concerned the news headlines would not focus on
the quote war between the believers and the disbelievers end quote. Additionally,
(13:50):
he stated he had joined ISIS before this summer. He
also provided a will and testing.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And as Rory mentioned that that is the question. Did
he was he radicalized online? Did he watch stuff? Was
there a mosque that he was attending in Houston? Did
he travel overseas?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I doubt he was going to a mosque.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
This was probably some keyboard warrior that got roped into
the ISIS cult online.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Well, it probably didn't go overseas. Also, he's going to
afford it.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I mean, it's wiped out by a couple of divorces
and some financial hardships.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So that didn't seem like it was a possibility.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But and that's when you have nothing to lose, diving
into a cult or a terrorist organization sounds pretty appealing.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Well, because it gives you some it gives you.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Something that's a thing, right, And as Rory mentioned, the
idea that this is a lone wolf thing is the
most likely explanation.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Is it just weird timing that a guy then tried
to blow up?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I mean, it's the holidays, people are going through a
lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You're going to act out, you're going to do it.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I didn't pack an electric car full of gas canisters
and fre works and then try to set it off.
What I don't get is that guy, the Green Beret,
I assume knew that that wasn't going to cause as
much damage as he.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
As he thought. I don't know I.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Thought for me, I think he thought it would cause
a lot more damage, That's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, but he completely overestimated what was going to happen
when he parked a cyber truck.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
And why that one? Why a cyber truck? I think
he thought it would be more explosive.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Because he's trying to make a point about Elon Musk
and Donald Trump. Yes, I mean use Elon Musk's vehicle
in front of a Donald Trump property.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
It's not a coincidence.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I don't think Mike Johnson is fighting for his political
life again. He's going to hold the speaker's gavel today
and his position is a second in line to the
presidency will be tested tomorrow when the new Congress convenes.
President Elect Trump, of course, has endorsed him, but they
can only afford I think it's too u two defections
(16:01):
among Republicans, and we already know that he's got one.
Thomas Massey out of Kentucky I said he will not
vote for Mike Johnson.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
So we'll see how that goes tomorrow. Should we open
up some mail, Let's do some of that. Let's see here.
We have got a lot of mail and they thank
you for everything that people said, well, you don't know
that yet. Let's not go crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Oh, we should say thank you to all the people
who filled in for us while we were gone, and
thank you to Jacob because he had to put together
in Keana and Richie all that best of crap.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Which is a lot of that's a high bar. It's
a lot of work, and we do appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Although there were a couple of times when I forgot
what time it was and I threw on the station
and I heard us, and I was like, this is awful.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
While you will open that.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Hey, Happy New Year's guys. Shannon just wanted to say
I'm right there with you with the dry January thing
starting today because yesterday. It's not like I'm not going
to drink on New Year's Day, so it's too much.
Hang in there. I'm gonna do it too. I think
I could do it all right, have a good show.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Okay, this is from uh Oh, I'm glad you're doing
that with me. By the way, I like the solidarity.
This is from joy dot org out of Washington, Happy Holidays,
Share the Joy. Not really sure what these are, but
I'll let you figure it out.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
While I read. There's a little sticker I think with
Santa Piece and Joy. I don't know what those are.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Might be drugs. Let's see here. Just a short note
because not much happened. The coolest thing was that Sharon
from KFI Radio read my last year Christmas letter over
the air in LA spent most of my time learning
about three D design and three D printing, still working
on the Butterfly rollercoaster.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It's like a little tiny little booklet. Oh, it's a
little booklet. Huh, what does it.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Say, Well, it doesn't say much of anything, but it is.
Oh maybe it's a It's like one of those paper
lamps that you have to pull over.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
It's a paper lamp. It's okay, Oh I see it.
It's it's a snowman. It's a snowman.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
But it's like three D snow man, three hundred and
sixty degree snowman. Yeah, because as you turn the little
flip open book around, you see him square on and
you see his full face.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
But as you turn him around backwards, you see the
snow booty booty booty booty, booty, booty booty. Nobody says
it like that.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Yeah, booty boody booty booty booty booty booty.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I take that back.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Okay, one more piece of mail here. This is from
Annalyse You guys rock enjoy your time off, well deserved,
and happy New Year.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
Shannon.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's Renee.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
I think I speak for all of us when I
say you have officially run out of vacation time and
stop abandoning us. I have total abandonment issues now and
happy to have you back. But stick around for a while,
will Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
We missed you guys. Oh wow, who's a sloppy one thing?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
This is our first This is the family that I'm
gonna get emotional here. This was our first show baby, Reagan.
She is she's five.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Five years old already. Wow, we met and that's a
new baby.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
That yeah, that's a new baby. William six months. Wow,
Gianna's three. But Reagan, our first show baby, is five
years old.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
That's incredible. We met Reagan when she was still in
mommy's tummy. Yeah? Did that bother you that? I just
said mommy's tummy bothered me a lot.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
But part of my new me and twenty twenty five
is not reacting to things like that.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Oh ps, yesterday I was bagging on the Rose Parade announcers,
not Chris Shauble, who killed it. He's the highlight for me.
Although get him a working Microsoft in the corner. Get
him a microphone for the love of God. Also, he's
a loud guy. We can tune it down just a
little bit. WHOA no, no, I just like his loudness.
It's a lot of enthusiasm that early in the morning,
(20:02):
and I like it too. But you're right, get him
a microphone that works in an audio guy that can
control the levels. I just felt awful for him when
his mic kept cutting out. That's the most frustrating thing.
But anyway, I was bagging on the people in the booth,
and I miss Bob and Stephanie.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It's just that's the fact of the matter, right.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I like how real they were with each other, how
they go after each other in a very real way
and not be phony. At one point yesterday, Liza says,
both of our fathers served in the military, and the
other guy, Mark Mark steiners, Yeah, he says, and my
father served in the military as well. And my husband
says to me, you and Gary do that, you both
(20:41):
do that.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa ah.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
So that's going to be one of the things I
work on so that I don't get bagged on in
my own home listening listening to you to me specifically specifically.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Okay, Well, I appreciate that, and I feel like we're
already making progress.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I think we are making progress. That was me agree
my god, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
I'm so glad you're back.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, me to missed you like crazy. Now at least
you and Conway are back, My day is complete. Happy
New Year, and let's go Broncos. Broncos. Yeah, sure, why not?
Good luck?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
There are two, by the way, NFL games on Saturday.
The rest of everybody plays on Sunday. I don't think
there's much to work out on this last day of
the season, is there, Like in terms of playoff spots
that might still.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Be there, it's not where it's not open spots necessarily
where they're going to land. FBI this morning saying there
is no link so far between the attack on Bourbon
Street and the Tesla explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Vegas.
The Vegas explosion was being looked at as a potential
act of terrorism, an Army vet from Colorado dead, several
(21:56):
others hurt, and that one before that of up to
fifteen people killed, dozens more injured when that rented truck
plowed through a crowd in the New Year celebration in
the French Bourbon Street of New Orleans. That suspect is
identified as a US born citizen, also an Army veteran,
(22:18):
but the FBI against as agents have not made any
connections between the two events so well.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
The one connection, or the one similarity not necessarily connection,
was that Both of these electric trucks were rented on
the Touro app, which I thought Wayne did a great
job describing it. It's basically Airbnb for a car that
you can you as a car owner, can rent out
your car whenever you're not using it.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
And there that's that simple.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
But I there's something specific about these are both electric trucks,
which are unusual to come by.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
That may have been something interesting.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
If the guy in New Orleans rented the F one
fifty lightning the electric version of that, that's a very
very heavy vehicle, if that was part of why he
did that, and then the same thing for I'm sorry,
a different motivation, but but similar lines for the guy
in Vegas. If if he's trying to make a point
(23:19):
about Donald Trump and or Elon Musk or something, then
the cyber truck that obviously has become synonymous with UH,
with Elon Musk and Tesla in front of the Trump
condos there in Vegas, then he's then he's sending some
sort of a message.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
But am I super unhip that I had never heard
of this app and think it's a great alternative to
like grilling with the rental car agencies.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
UH I know a lot of people who said they
hadn't heard of I'd heard of it, I've never used it.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That's there's there's a line that's crossed.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Like the idea of renting out your pool of over
an Airbnb style app.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
There's people that do that too. You can rent your
own backyard pool out for people. You should rent out
your goal No, why not?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I don't want people in my backyard.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I think you're kind of weird about your pool too,
because I've been over to house several times and it's
never been like, hey, uh you know, oh no, no,
don't go on. I know what I think you're going
to say. I mean, I had to go into your
hot tub fully clothed. That was a personal choice, and
we all thank.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
You for that. You know, you haven't had me over
since I did that.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
You've been gone. Every time I want to do something,
you're gone.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
It's not true. Hey do you want to free? How
many do you keep going to the super Bowl? I'm
not going to the super Bowl ever again? Okay, ever again?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
In that case, just a quick moment or a quick
thing about this this Vegas truck that exploded. The Metropolitan
Police Department said that then an electronic license plate reader.
Did I record this guy showing up in Vegas at
about seven thirty yesterday morning and then went up and
(25:06):
down the strip for about an hour before finally pulling
into the covered driveway that was right outside the Trump Hotel.
And he was only parked there for maybe fifteen or
twenty seconds before the thing exploded.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
The driver of the truck died.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It was a big enough explosion that it would blow
you apart pretty well, but the truck itself contained the
explosion enough that the doors that it was parked right
in front of suffered no damage, at least the apparent
in the video.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
No damage. They did say they have not yet figured out.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
How the driver ignited the fireworks and the gas camping
fuel canisters that were in the bed of the truck,
And really the damage to the truck itself was mostly
the glass and that sort of slide cover that comes
down over the bed of the truck.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Do you want to hear some freak accident news North Carolina? Yeah,
this is conquered North Carolina, right outside of Charlotte. There's
a woman there who mistook nail glue for eye drops,
similar shape of the bottle. She realized her mistake when
she squirted the glue into her eye, ceiling it shut.
(26:20):
Doctors are saying it could take up to seven weeks
before her eye will be able to open, and then
they'll check it for damage seven weeks, so she'll be
like you and you're a little boy with your with
the eyepatch.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
So you you never really, you never really stopped bullying me.
I didn't. I've missed it, so lucky.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Hey, Shannon, I'm with you and everybody else is going
to do try January. However, not until after I visit
the Winer this weekend, so starting on the.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Sixth, Yeah, maybe the seventh. Have a great show, guys,
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Hey, whatever works. Here's another piece of mail. This is
from Chris.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Oh wait, is this our friend Chris Florida. Yes, that's exciting.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
He's got time because the Jets aren't doing anything to
all of you. Warmest holiday wishes. Thank you so much
for what you do every day. I can get the
news without the constant drum beat and with the booty song.
Thanks for letting me stop by. It was a highlight.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Oh that's right. He came by Winness six.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
Booty show me the booty.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Give me the booty.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I want the booty. Back up the booty.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
He's got a caboose six five. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I don't want to speculate about Chris's booty. That seems inappropriate.
That's that's I've been that's the line. That's the line.
I'm not used to being inappropriate. I've been a lady
for two weeks.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I find that hard to believe. You've been listening to
The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
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
A M. Six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh, how's the sixth episode of Virgin River? Exactly your row.
I had noticed the couches. The couch called me and
once it's a cushioned back.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I've noticed your cholesterol, says, you've had four pieces of garlic, cheese, bread, fatty.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
No, this was another one of my Christmas guests.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
My daughter has had one for several months and she
told me it would help me learn my cycle better.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, and you're so, let me know when your cycle
kicks in so I can put it in my calendar.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Here's the best thing about I don't know the best thing.
It says, there was one thing on here this morning
that was like your symptom tracker, is what it was.
And my wife has had a cold for the last
couple of days, so I've been looking at that to
see is it gonna am I gonna get it whatever
she's got.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It seems a little soft for you.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Usually you would just grunt it out, like I said,
there if I'm getting a cold.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
She's had it for three days and we lived together.
It's crazy how it happens, and often sleep in the
same bed. Yeah, it's also crazy how that I'm fine
so far?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Of course you are far. I mean, I don't know
what you have a constitution of a street dog, yes, well,
but they can also get cold. So I realized in
the break I really need a job, Like if we
get fired, I'm going to need a job right away.
Yesterday was day two of just sitting in my pajamas
and two that's it, not leaving the couch. Day two
(01:26):
of well, well, I did have some work. I did
go to New England for the game. Right wasn't as
cold as it could have been. It was forty three degrees.
I wasn't cold for a second the entire game. I
didn't even get in. I didn't put gloves on, I
didn't get next to the heater.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Did I tell you? No, I did not tell you
because I haven't seen you. So they The first time
we spoke was last night.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Right called me and I thought something was I thought
you were going to tell me, like, you know what,
I'm gonna take a cat.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I was going to say that.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
No, just had a question about a bar in Pedaluma. Oh, right.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
But so the boys, Matt and DJ, who do the
Chargers radio broadcast, do an interview with the coach before
the game. They do it usually the day before the game,
maybe two days before the game, depends out. Sure, these
idiots are talking to Jim Harbaugh and DJ says to him, Hey,
(02:23):
it's gonna be pretty cold in the booth. Uh, you
think the equipment guy can get us some gloves because
you know, we're we're soft, We're not like you guys.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Like it was the worst.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
It was the most cringe cringey question I've ever heard
in my life. And Coach Harbaugh, to his credit, was like,
I don't know what you what, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Like he was just completely glossed over, did not even
listen even get it.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I'm like, you idiots, I don't want my fingerprints on
your crime scene. I want to be associated with somebody
that's going to ask Coach Harbaugh for gloves because.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
They're going to be too cold in the booth. You
had to come up, Coach, I'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Just so yeah, yeah, I made it a point, by
the way, That's why I brought it up that I
didn't wear gloves the entire game on the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Like, hey, look at me over here. No gloves. I'm
not even in the booth. No gloves.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You should have said on your sideline reports, hey guys,
I'm waving to you down here from.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
The sidelines without gloves. Gloves. Well, your Christmas was here?
Was it somewhere else? I don't remember when was Christmas?
This was just a week ago.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh, Christmas was here, okay, at my husband's dad's house,
my father in law's house.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You didn't travel very much at all that outside of
football stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I did go to Sacramento at some point right early on.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
That was the beginning of it, okay. And that was
the day that my wife filled in.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Oh yes, and I was so terrified that it was
going to just be a car wreck. Why because I
don't know, I'm nervous. I've never been in that situation.
But we've interviewed her before. But for goofy fun stuff.
I mean, we were and there were some serious stuff
that we were talking about. And I fell in love
with her twice in that four hours.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It was great. That's so sweet. I'm glad that you
fell in love with your wife and not Marla. She's
pregnant with someone else's baby. That's clear.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I mean, I mean your husband, but.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
That's not your baby. No, we got a bunch of
mail we'll have to get through.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Oh, I have a I have a big favor to
ask everybody today as well, walk.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Up song for the for the stripper for baseball camp.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
They asked me what song I want for walk up
st I have a couple of different options.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I'm open to others as well.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Funny, yeah, well listen, Trumpet of Jesus was definitely on
the was one of the suggestions.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
But I will feel like little sacrilege it is.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I'll ask a little bit later. We'll get into some
of those that are coming up. Happy New Year to everybody.
This is how we start darting.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
So this is going to shock you. But I'm trying something.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I'm going to try and do the whole dry January thing, okay.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And us hope it sticks. But yesterday was the first
of January, right, you called me? Yeah, No, I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Staying it's today, Okay, because I had the neighbors party yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Not drink there, right, jus one right, okay, that's fine
with this gear started with a bang, pardon the pun.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But we had this attack in New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Right, guy drives an electric truck through Bourbon Street and
kills fourteen people and then ends up on the backside
of the police guns that were shooting at him, and
then the cyber truck. The other electric truck that was
parked in front of Trump's condos. There's no casino there.
Trump's Condos in Vegas and blows up but doesn't leave
(05:47):
us scratch on those glass doors that were right next
to it.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What an ad At first, I thought it was maybe
just a truck, a Tesla that malfunctioned, because they love
to make the news every time they tesla that malfunctions.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But looks like this guy was a Green.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Beret, Yeah, and underestimated the way an explosion would be
handled by the frame of a cyber truck.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
So Elon Musk listened. He was out there early on
and was like, this wasn't us.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I mean that thing was on fire for a while,
just living its life on fire, and then but doing nothing.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
As they drive it away, you know, under a tarp,
it looks like it's fine outside, you know, the losing
the tailgate or whatever they call that roll.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Top, babe. It was Elon Musk.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I doubt it, but hey, there's all kinds of conspiracy theories.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I love a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
We will talk with Rory O'Neil about the New Orleans
crash attack. We've got information about the cyber truck in Vegas,
some terror in the skies obviously to get to And
the biggest story of the tail end of twenty twenty
four going into twenty twenty five is Blake Lively versus
whatever his name is, Baldoni.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Whoa just a man, Justin Baldoni. That sounds about right.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
And it's not just the allegation that she made against
him or he made against her.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's this dirty ass.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
World of the publicist Hollywood pr Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Remember when that publicist was murdered. I remember Eric Leonard
covering it. It was so long ago, but it was
this weird. She was like targeted in her car on
Beverly Hills, I think, and it kind of opens.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It looked like a crash.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, it opened my eyes to the underbelly of Hollywood
and what goes on with publicists and the competition and
the warfare that exists.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
The FBI gave an update just this morning.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
First and foremost, let me be very clear about this point.
This was an act of terrorism. It was premeditated and
an evil act.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
That was FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Rayah. This morning.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Rory O'Neil is covering the story for US. Joins US
now with all of the latest Rory probably still a
scene there on Bourbon Street.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
It certainly is.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
And of course the city of New Orleans is in
preparation mode. In just a few hours, kickoff of the
Sugar Bowl is expected. So the governor at the press
conference a short time ago trying to put out the
message that the community is resilient and is pushing forward,
not letting this gruesome act of terror stop the city
from moving forward. But a lot of information contained in
(08:17):
that update a short time ago.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
There was a little bit, I mean, in that end
of security.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Obviously, we've got the big Marti Gras celebration that always
happens in New Orleans. We've got Super Bowl back there
in a couple of weeks, and then today is the
Sugar Bowl, the postponed game from last night that will
be played. Has there been a discussion of ramping up
security even more for these already high profile events, right.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
So the Super Bowl is considered one of those national events,
like a presidential inauguration or a Republican convention. It's one
of those national security events. The Sugar Bowl is not.
Historically neither is Marti Gras. But essentially now they're saying
they're going to have the same kind of security footprint
in place for the Sugar Bowl today. They've been bringing
(09:03):
in National Guard troops to beef up the police presence
there and make it more obvious. But the fact that
we heard from law enforcement a few minutes ago say
they now believe that this was the act of a
lone figure, a lone wolf, that really does ease a
lot of minds. The concern was that the man who
drove through Bourbon Street may have had other accomplices who
(09:25):
may have been plotting something to happen at the game today.
But now it looks like this was a loan actor.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
This is a guy who's been divorced a couple times,
he was in the military, he was trying or had
a real estate license at some point. Is there any
idea that this was somebody searching for something and fell
into the isis web web for lack of a better term,
because he did announce his support for ISIS in the
(09:53):
hours leading up to this, right.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
He recorded videos while driving from Texas to New Orleans
in that truck, and some of those in those videos,
he pronounces his support of ISIS and leaves a last
will and testament, even said he considered harming his own family.
But exactly what radicalized him is still a bit of
a question. And you know, we're going to hear that
term that this was an ISIS inspired attack a lot,
(10:18):
But what you want to know is really was this
an ISIS directed attack? Did members of ISIS from the
Middle East somehow try to influence this guy urge him
on to commit this kind of atrocity.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
One of the.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
One of the reports from this morning suggested that New
Orleans Police and other law enforcement agencies in the area,
we're not expecting a sidewalk style attack. I mean, this
guy had to drive around parked police cars to get
to Bourbon Street. But those kinds of attacks are what
we've seen recently. I mean, just just two weeks ago
(10:53):
in Germany, there was somebody who who drove through a
Christmas market in a very similar style of using the
vehicle itself as the weapon.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
In a very crowded area.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
And we've seen this more and more that just the
vehicle itself is the weapon. Oftentimes then they are armed
with a machete or with a gun, and after the
vehicle crashes, they start shooting people or start stabbing people,
knowing that this is a suicide mission and they will
be killed. But what we're not seeing is, you know,
back in the day, there used to be more and
more car bombs. I'm thinking of, you know, I'm Rory O'Neill.
(11:27):
I'm thinking of my Irish heritage and the ira attacking
the English and.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
They would use car bombs. But now you don't even
need that technology.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
You just need a person at the wheel driving through
a big crowd like this, And so it really does
dumb down the process and mean that these kinds of
lone wolves are that much more dangerous because they can
be anyone anywhere.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I've gone to a Super Bowl at the Superdome there
and what I remember was walking a great distance because
all the streets around the Superdome are kind of shut down,
and the huge crowds of people walking several blocks there.
What are they doing about that situation? For the Sugar Bowl?
(12:10):
This evening in terms of protecting those crowds from another
copycout attack or someone just being an idiot.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Well, it's going to be a deployment of a lot
more officers on the ground and expanding that perimeter. Keep
in mind, the super Dome is only about a mile
or so, let I think one point five one point
two miles from where this happens, so it's essentially the
same part of the city, and the security footprint is
just expanding as a result of what happened. And again
(12:40):
I think they'd be more on guard and then take
more aggressive actions to block off roads, not with just
a loan police car, perhaps multiple vehicles, garbage trucks, other
things that could do a much better job of blocking
off a street and preventing something like this.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Again, Rory, great stuff, Thank you, Thanks talk to you
so r Neil there with the latest out of New Orleans.
I mentioned the news conference from this morning that not
a whole lot of new information that came out this morning.
Governor Jeff Landry was there, and I mentioned that FBI
Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Rayah. One of the things that
did come out and they added a little bit of
context to was videos that this guy had posted, apparently
(13:19):
while he was driving the truck from Houston into Louisiana.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
There were five videos posted on Jabbar's Facebook account, which
are time stamped, beginning at one twenty nine am and
the last at three h two am. In the first video,
Jabbar explains he originally planned to harm his family and friends,
but was concerned the news headlines would not focus on
the quote war between the believers and the disbelievers end quote. Additionally,
(13:50):
he stated he had joined ISIS before this summer. He
also provided a will and testing.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And as Rory mentioned that that is the question. Did
he was he radicalized online? Did he watch stuff? Was
there a mosque that he was attending in Houston? Did
he travel overseas?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I doubt he was going to a mosque.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
This was probably some keyboard warrior that got roped into
the ISIS cult online.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Well, it probably didn't go overseas. Also, he's going to
afford it.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I mean, it's wiped out by a couple of divorces
and some financial hardships.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So that didn't seem like it was a possibility.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But and that's when you have nothing to lose, diving
into a cult or a terrorist organization sounds pretty appealing.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Well, because it gives you some it gives you.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Something that's a thing, right, And as Rory mentioned, the
idea that this is a lone wolf thing is the
most likely explanation.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Is it just weird timing that a guy then tried
to blow up?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I mean, it's the holidays, people are going through a
lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You're going to act out, you're going to do it.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I didn't pack an electric car full of gas canisters
and fre works and then try to set it off.
What I don't get is that guy, the Green Beret,
I assume knew that that wasn't going to cause as
much damage as he.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
As he thought. I don't know I.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Thought for me, I think he thought it would cause
a lot more damage, That's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, but he completely overestimated what was going to happen
when he parked a cyber truck.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
And why that one? Why a cyber truck? I think
he thought it would be more explosive.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Because he's trying to make a point about Elon Musk
and Donald Trump. Yes, I mean use Elon Musk's vehicle
in front of a Donald Trump property.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
It's not a coincidence.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I don't think Mike Johnson is fighting for his political
life again. He's going to hold the speaker's gavel today
and his position is a second in line to the
presidency will be tested tomorrow when the new Congress convenes.
President Elect Trump, of course, has endorsed him, but they
can only afford I think it's too u two defections
(16:01):
among Republicans, and we already know that he's got one.
Thomas Massey out of Kentucky I said he will not
vote for Mike Johnson.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
So we'll see how that goes tomorrow. Should we open
up some mail, Let's do some of that. Let's see here.
We have got a lot of mail and they thank
you for everything that people said, well, you don't know
that yet. Let's not go crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Oh, we should say thank you to all the people
who filled in for us while we were gone, and
thank you to Jacob because he had to put together
in Keana and Richie all that best of crap.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Which is a lot of that's a high bar. It's
a lot of work, and we do appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Although there were a couple of times when I forgot
what time it was and I threw on the station
and I heard us, and I was like, this is awful.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
While you will open that.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Hey, Happy New Year's guys. Shannon just wanted to say
I'm right there with you with the dry January thing
starting today because yesterday. It's not like I'm not going
to drink on New Year's Day, so it's too much.
Hang in there. I'm gonna do it too. I think
I could do it all right, have a good show.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Okay, this is from uh Oh, I'm glad you're doing
that with me. By the way, I like the solidarity.
This is from joy dot org out of Washington, Happy Holidays,
Share the Joy. Not really sure what these are, but
I'll let you figure it out.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
While I read. There's a little sticker I think with
Santa Piece and Joy. I don't know what those are.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Might be drugs. Let's see here. Just a short note
because not much happened. The coolest thing was that Sharon
from KFI Radio read my last year Christmas letter over
the air in LA spent most of my time learning
about three D design and three D printing, still working
on the Butterfly rollercoaster.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
It's like a little tiny little booklet. Oh, it's a
little booklet. Huh, what does it.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Say, Well, it doesn't say much of anything, but it is.
Oh maybe it's a It's like one of those paper
lamps that you have to pull over.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
It's a paper lamp. It's okay, Oh I see it.
It's it's a snowman. It's a snowman.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
But it's like three D snow man, three hundred and
sixty degree snowman. Yeah, because as you turn the little
flip open book around, you see him square on and
you see his full face.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
But as you turn him around backwards, you see the
snow booty booty booty booty, booty, booty booty. Nobody says
it like that.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Yeah, booty boody booty booty booty booty booty.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I take that back.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Okay, one more piece of mail here. This is from
Annalyse You guys rock enjoy your time off, well deserved,
and happy New Year.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
Shannon.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's Renee.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
I think I speak for all of us when I
say you have officially run out of vacation time and
stop abandoning us. I have total abandonment issues now and
happy to have you back. But stick around for a while,
will Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
We missed you guys. Oh wow, who's a sloppy one thing?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
This is our first This is the family that I'm
gonna get emotional here. This was our first show baby, Reagan.
She is she's five.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Five years old already. Wow, we met and that's a
new baby.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
That yeah, that's a new baby. William six months. Wow,
Gianna's three. But Reagan, our first show baby, is five
years old.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
That's incredible. We met Reagan when she was still in
mommy's tummy. Yeah? Did that bother you that? I just
said mommy's tummy bothered me a lot.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
But part of my new me and twenty twenty five
is not reacting to things like that.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Oh ps, yesterday I was bagging on the Rose Parade announcers,
not Chris Shauble, who killed it. He's the highlight for me.
Although get him a working Microsoft in the corner. Get
him a microphone for the love of God. Also, he's
a loud guy. We can tune it down just a
little bit. WHOA no, no, I just like his loudness.
It's a lot of enthusiasm that early in the morning,
(20:02):
and I like it too. But you're right, get him
a microphone that works in an audio guy that can
control the levels. I just felt awful for him when
his mic kept cutting out. That's the most frustrating thing.
But anyway, I was bagging on the people in the booth,
and I miss Bob and Stephanie.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It's just that's the fact of the matter, right.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I like how real they were with each other, how
they go after each other in a very real way
and not be phony. At one point yesterday, Liza says,
both of our fathers served in the military, and the
other guy, Mark Mark steiners, Yeah, he says, and my
father served in the military as well. And my husband
says to me, you and Gary do that, you both
(20:41):
do that.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa ah.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
So that's going to be one of the things I
work on so that I don't get bagged on in
my own home listening listening to you to me specifically specifically.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Okay, Well, I appreciate that, and I feel like we're
already making progress.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I think we are making progress. That was me agree
my god, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
I'm so glad you're back.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, me to missed you like crazy. Now at least
you and Conway are back, My day is complete. Happy
New Year, and let's go Broncos. Broncos. Yeah, sure, why not?
Good luck?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
There are two, by the way, NFL games on Saturday.
The rest of everybody plays on Sunday. I don't think
there's much to work out on this last day of
the season, is there, Like in terms of playoff spots
that might still.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Be there, it's not where it's not open spots necessarily
where they're going to land. FBI this morning saying there
is no link so far between the attack on Bourbon
Street and the Tesla explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Vegas.
The Vegas explosion was being looked at as a potential
act of terrorism, an Army vet from Colorado dead, several
(21:56):
others hurt, and that one before that of up to
fifteen people killed, dozens more injured when that rented truck
plowed through a crowd in the New Year celebration in
the French Bourbon Street of New Orleans. That suspect is
identified as a US born citizen, also an Army veteran,
(22:18):
but the FBI against as agents have not made any
connections between the two events so well.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
The one connection, or the one similarity not necessarily connection,
was that Both of these electric trucks were rented on
the Touro app, which I thought Wayne did a great
job describing it. It's basically Airbnb for a car that
you can you as a car owner, can rent out
your car whenever you're not using it.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
And there that's that simple.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
But I there's something specific about these are both electric trucks,
which are unusual to come by.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
That may have been something interesting.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
If the guy in New Orleans rented the F one
fifty lightning the electric version of that, that's a very
very heavy vehicle, if that was part of why he
did that, and then the same thing for I'm sorry,
a different motivation, but but similar lines for the guy
in Vegas. If if he's trying to make a point
(23:19):
about Donald Trump and or Elon Musk or something, then
the cyber truck that obviously has become synonymous with UH,
with Elon Musk and Tesla in front of the Trump
condos there in Vegas, then he's then he's sending some
sort of a message.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
But am I super unhip that I had never heard
of this app and think it's a great alternative to
like grilling with the rental car agencies.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
UH I know a lot of people who said they
hadn't heard of I'd heard of it, I've never used it.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That's there's there's a line that's crossed.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Like the idea of renting out your pool of over
an Airbnb style app.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
There's people that do that too. You can rent your
own backyard pool out for people. You should rent out
your goal No, why not?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I don't want people in my backyard.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I think you're kind of weird about your pool too,
because I've been over to house several times and it's
never been like, hey, uh you know, oh no, no,
don't go on. I know what I think you're going
to say. I mean, I had to go into your
hot tub fully clothed. That was a personal choice, and
we all thank.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
You for that. You know, you haven't had me over
since I did that.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
You've been gone. Every time I want to do something,
you're gone.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
It's not true. Hey do you want to free? How
many do you keep going to the super Bowl? I'm
not going to the super Bowl ever again? Okay, ever again?
Speaker 3 (24:45):
In that case, just a quick moment or a quick
thing about this this Vegas truck that exploded. The Metropolitan
Police Department said that then an electronic license plate reader.
Did I record this guy showing up in Vegas at
about seven thirty yesterday morning and then went up and
(25:06):
down the strip for about an hour before finally pulling
into the covered driveway that was right outside the Trump Hotel.
And he was only parked there for maybe fifteen or
twenty seconds before the thing exploded.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
The driver of the truck died.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It was a big enough explosion that it would blow
you apart pretty well, but the truck itself contained the
explosion enough that the doors that it was parked right
in front of suffered no damage, at least the apparent
in the video.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
No damage. They did say they have not yet figured out.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
How the driver ignited the fireworks and the gas camping
fuel canisters that were in the bed of the truck,
And really the damage to the truck itself was mostly
the glass and that sort of slide cover that comes
down over the bed of the truck.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Do you want to hear some freak accident news North Carolina? Yeah,
this is conquered North Carolina, right outside of Charlotte. There's
a woman there who mistook nail glue for eye drops,
similar shape of the bottle. She realized her mistake when
she squirted the glue into her eye, ceiling it shut.
(26:20):
Doctors are saying it could take up to seven weeks
before her eye will be able to open, and then
they'll check it for damage seven weeks, so she'll be
like you and you're a little boy with your with
the eyepatch.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
So you you never really, you never really stopped bullying me.
I didn't. I've missed it, so lucky.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
Hey, Shannon, I'm with you and everybody else is going
to do try January. However, not until after I visit
the Winer this weekend, so starting on the.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Sixth, Yeah, maybe the seventh. Have a great show, guys,
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Hey, whatever works. Here's another piece of mail. This is
from Chris.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Oh wait, is this our friend Chris Florida. Yes, that's exciting.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
He's got time because the Jets aren't doing anything to
all of you. Warmest holiday wishes. Thank you so much
for what you do every day. I can get the
news without the constant drum beat and with the booty song.
Thanks for letting me stop by. It was a highlight.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Oh that's right. He came by Winness six.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
Booty show me the booty.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Give me the booty.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I want the booty. Back up the booty.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
He's got a caboose six five. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
I don't want to speculate about Chris's booty. That seems inappropriate.
That's that's I've been that's the line. That's the line.
I'm not used to being inappropriate. I've been a lady
for two weeks.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
