This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Welcome to Monday, November. Eliven the Veterans Day. We are
taking your calls and ways to honor veterans. A couple
different people have given us not just themselves who are
had served as veterans, but relatives, etc. So and other
people that they want to point out, so thank you
for that. We'll get to more of those here in
(00:30):
just a bit. Firefighters continue to make progress against the
Mountain fire down in Ventura County. More than twenty thousand,
six hundred and thirty acres have burned about one hundred
and thirty four structures, most of those homes, and they
said this morning that it's thirty six percent contained. They
are going to be continuing to mop up hotspots. They
want to try to get this as much under control
(00:52):
as they possibly can before the winds are expected to
pick up again this afternoon, which is not great. Authority
is also investigating a d composing body found in a
hole along.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
The one to one freeway you Angel of Death.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Preliminary information indicates the body was next to the one
on one at the interchange of Mulholland and Kowanga this morning.
That was found between two concrete pillars on the southbound
side right shoulder embankment.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Gavin Newsom went full campaign mode one day. The body
wasn't even cold. Kamala's body was not even cold, and
Gavin Newsom started running for twenty twenty eight. He spent
Wednesday celebrating with Champagne at French Laundry. I don't know
that for a fact, but it's not that far off base,
is it. And then Thursday announced this plan to Trump
(01:44):
proof California, trying to have all the wagons circled in
Sacramento to make sure Trump does not get his dirty
fascist fingerprints on sparkling California because they're doing such a
great job without anybody infiltrating their plan to turn this
into a complete dumpster fire. But on Friday, Trump went
(02:07):
after Gavin Newsom's call for this special legislative session to
protect the progressive policies. He used a word for Newsom
on his truth social platform that was pretty strong. He
accused Gavin Usom of trying to kill kill in all caps,
our nation's beautiful California and said that's why more people
(02:30):
are leaving than are coming in.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
And those are not wrong.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
He said, he's using the term trump proof as a
way of stopping all of the great things that can
be done to make California great again.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
But I just overwhelmingly won the election.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's that's what I think Gavin Newsom has to be
careful about because even in overwhelmingly read California, I'm sorry,
overwhelmingly blue California, Trump got forty percent of the vote,
which if you live I mean, if you live in
La County, for example, that would probably surprise you. But
there's forty million people in this state and forty percent
(03:08):
of the voters chose Trump.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Did you see the difference between twenty twenty and twenty
twenty four of the voting map of California, a number
of the blue counties went red. Yeah, the number, it's
it's I mean, it's definitely you can tell the difference.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
So it is one of those things. You know, we
talked last week about the whole post mortem that needs
to be done within the Democratic Party. There was a
lot of discussion about that this weekend, especially on those
Sunday morning political talk shows. Of who is to blame
or which policies has the Democratic Party latched itself to
that just do not resonate with the majority of voters.
(03:47):
They you know that they're no longer sort of the
policy or the party of average Middle America. They've they've
gotten extreme in some of their their issues and that's
what they're losing sight of. And in California, listen, we're
not in danger or in there's no great risk for
(04:08):
Democrats here because it's going to take a while before
anybody votes Republican in the state of California. But it's
something to pay attention to, that's all.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It's okay, I can tell you need me to talk now.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Happy Veterans Day.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Shout out to my brother in law, Thomas Speeney, who
served in the Marines for over five years. He got
out and married my sister and he raised her two
kids and they had one of their own, so three
kids altogether, and he made a great bother and they've
been married for close to forty years now. So Thomas Feeney,
(04:48):
thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Hey guys. Yeah, people have been in war.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I'm not going to tell my story, but.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
My fa family's passed Civil War in the United States.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I believe a.
Speaker 8 (05:05):
Million people died in that war, and it's a forgotten war.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
It should not be forgotten.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
But yeah, my family fought in that war against flavoring
to be free and other things.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Hey, today's a day to pick up the phone, by
the way, men, especially pick up the phone and call
somebody that you know that served, whether it was Vietnam
or Iraqi, whatever conflict. Because I think that when you
do serve in veterans day is great and seeing the
(05:40):
Veterans' Day sales and happy veterans, we salute our veterans.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
This is one thing. But to hear from people in your.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Life that just call and say, hey, how are you doing,
thank you for your service, and what's going on in
your life, how you doing, I think that that goes
a long way.
Speaker 9 (05:54):
In honor of my mother's only sibling, Mike, was in
the US Navy my father's side. His older brother John
was in US Army World War Two. His older brother
Vince was US Navy Sebe's World War Two. My father
was in the US Navy World War Two. Their younger
brother Frank US Army Korea, and they had a younger
(06:18):
sister who riveted riveted planes together at Lockeed and her
name was Rosie.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's great. What was it, I don't know. It's thirty
seconds I.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Got it's the Quartersack King currently in Newport Beach. Of course,
big shout out to all the veterans, especially my grandfather
would pass a while back, served in World War Two.
And just a little tradition I do. I go out
to the bar tonight and I see any guy that
looks like a veteranm I buy him a beer. I've
(06:50):
done that every year for a lot of years.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
You look like a veteran. Here's the first. It's very cool,
fun play like that.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
That's great. Both of my grandfather served back at a
time when you kind of had to. I mean it
was a different time, right, my thirties and forties. But
my father didn't, but only because he was working. He
had a student deferment at the time, but was working
(07:18):
for the Navy, also as a civilian working for the Navy.
But I had uncles. His brother served in the Army
in Vietnam. I had another uncle on my mom's side
who served in the Air Force. I had a couple
of cousins both of them enlisted in the army, So
a lot of people in my family too.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
All right, coming up next, your chance at one thousand dollars.
That's exciting. Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
President Trump is going to announce Stephen Miller as the
Deputy Chief of Staff for policy, filling out these posts
pretty quickly.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And I don't judge people on their looks, but I
don't like the looks of that.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Guy, Steven Miller. What don't you like?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I don't know. He seems like a squirrel of a person.
That worries me.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
He does look like a squirrel of a person.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
He looks like he looks like one of the siblings
in that show where the siblings all.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Hate each other.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Succession. Yes, yeah, yeah, Like if you told AI to
come up with a suit wearing evildoer, seems like he
would be the guy. Yes, we'll see. He's been around.
He's been around that Trump's circle for quite a while.
We also found out that Tom Holman, former director of ICE,
is going to be named the Borders Are And I
(08:46):
don't know if that's no, there's no title, there's no
borders are position. But if you're just gonna say that
and put him in charge of things at the border,
does that mean they are going to come up with
as for that?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Well, and I heard that they are saying because one
of the narratives on the left is that they're going
to have concentration camps, and so they've responded to that saying,
we're not going to have concentration camps.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
What are we doing that?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You actually have to write that, Yeah, you're not gonna
have cutting sane at least. Defonica congresswoman out of New York,
will apparently become an ambassador to the UN for the
United States. I don't know much about her foreign policy experience,
but I know she's been a very loyal Trump supporter,
so it's one of the reasons why her name was
even on the list in the first place.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Spokesman for the Kremlin says that putin Trump call did
not happen, But take that with a grain of salt.

year old. Girlfriend in sleep for the first time in
three decades.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
He's wearing sleeves again.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
He looks ten years younger than he did when he coached.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
We'll do it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Okay, do you want to talk about dogs?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I'd love dogs.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
There is no way to predict which dogs will make
good workers, but there are some canine behavioral scientists trying
to change that. They're studying puppies in hopes of developing
a behavior model that can predict the likelihood of dog
will successfully complete training and enter the canine workforce.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I'd like a job to work with puppies.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Well, I've seen a couple of different documentaries on dogs
because I'm fascinated with our relationships to these dumb animals.
And I mean that in a very condescending way. They're
not as smart as we are, but there's something about
that reships.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I've known dogs that were smarter than some people.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
But I mean there's something about that relationship that is
unlike our relationship to any other creature. Even the relationship
that people have with their cats is very different than
a relationship that you have with your dogs.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Careful, Amy's not out of the building now.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I'm just saying because I've had cats too. Granted, I
I mean, we all know the stories of Kevin and Sassey,
so but they'll talk about that.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
That's not lump in Kevin and Sase. Sassy I had.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
For like a week and a half and then I
just put her outside because my allergies were so bad
and she never came back. You had Kevin for years
and gave him away purposefully. Those are two the apples
and oranges. We are not the same. They not like us.
I mean me and Sassy, You and Kevin not like us.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Okay, However, you want to.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I had no.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Intention of giving Sassy away.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
They discussed in one of these documentaries that I saw
about puppies from the same litter can even show differences
that would preclude them from becoming good services.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yeah, you're different from your sisters.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Your sisters would be great service members, and they are
and you're not. You sit here in your boob radio
host what they're providing the community services with their.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Jobs and I do nothing.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Well, in that case, you were in the same litter,
but not really. We didn't come out at the same time.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Does that make a difference.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, Well, that's my point is that even in a
litter of say four or five puppies, you're gonna have
different characteristics in each one of them. I mean, that's
one of the reasons why we chose Peter out of
the three dogs that were there that were available, because
he was the middle. He wasn't the overly aggressive one,
he wasn't the super shy one. He was the one
(13:05):
in the middle, which is what you're going for. But
if you're looking to train them on the middle teat sure, Yeah,
if you want to use that analogy, that's one.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
No, I mean, do they have like dedicated teats.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Oh, I don't know. I didn't get that close when
they were busy feeding.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
How many teeths does a dog have?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Six? Six, eight?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Well, there's a lot of puppies that come out. We're
pretty much veterans. Sorry, veterinarians. That's not I screwed that up.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Dogs typically have between eight and ten nipples, but fascinatingly so,
the number can vary from dog to dog. The number
of nipples a dog has is unique to them and
is not determined by their sex, breed, age, size, or
health status. Nipples are usually arranged in two rows underside
(14:00):
of a dog, as opposed to what.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
All over the place, over the place.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
A random pan.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, yeah, that was a question I had. Is it symmetry? Yeah,
like they're probably not perfectly in line.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I don't do that with your hands. I just wish
I take a picture of that. People could see what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Male nipples serve no purpose?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Amen, garyan Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Why are there nipples on my screen?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
What you?
Speaker 9 (14:40):
Well?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Your computer?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I was googling how many teats does a dog have
and it just says I just walked back and it's
like eight to ten nipples.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Gery and Shannon kfi Am, I forgot that we had
done that live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
What nipples make you bash?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Well, No, it's just funny that you forget the things
that you just you looked it up eight minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Eight A lot happened in those eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
A judge in Manhattan has poised it aside whether or
not to uphold a former president Trump's hush money verdict
or dismiss it on presidential immunity grounds. Judge Juan Mershawan
said that he will rule tomorrow on the President elect's
request to toss his conviction because of the US Supreme
Court ruling that gave president's broad protection. Of course, the
lawyers for the now president elect again have been fighting
(15:29):
for months to reverse his conviction. Yesterday, Chargers beat the
Titans twenty seven to seventeen.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Third winning a row defended at one. It was a
lot of fun. That was a great game.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
It was funny. Somebody over my shoulder. I was watching
that as I a couple hours before the play that
I was in and I had some downtime, so I
flip open the computer and I'm watching the game, and
somebody said, are you a Chargers fan? And I said, well,
I know somebody who works the game, so I'm I'm
I'm just watching to kind of see what's going on.
(16:03):
And they're nice people. Yeah, I don't wish ill will
upon them. It's nice when nice people succeed.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Well, it was funny when it was a kono I
think it was ConA pandles board up the other day
it was like, you're a Chargers fan or I hate
Chargers fans.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I'm like, who hates Chargers fans?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Like, what kind of a person says I hate Chargers fans?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I could see they're.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
A lovely people. They are truly a lovely fan base.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I could see people saying I hate Patriots.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I get I hate forty nine Er fans. We're awful.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
We are awful people, and we travel and just the
behavior in other stadiums it's atrocious. I hate myself and
I see that. I've incredible self awareness. Niner fans are awful.
Philadelphia Eagles fans awful people. Rams fans with their fake
noise and their Zuzu, Vella's or whatever they're called. Yes,
(16:58):
awful people, but Chargers fans. You don't come for Chargers
fans unless you have your own. It's not about the
milk with you. It's not about the Chargers fans. You're
dealing with something.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
The Rams will host the Dolphins tonight for Monday Night Football.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Tell me about your adult theater.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Well, ask Keana. She actually saw it. She saw it
on Saturday, which was wonderful. She and the new mister.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Keana, Brian has the name.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
They've been married for just a couple of weeks, and
she was able to convince him to drive all the
way up there and see the show.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Keana, are you there? Oh, she's not there. We'll get
her review coming up later.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
How was it? How did you okay?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
So on Friday, the last thing that you said was
everything was going wrong. Your microwave stopped working, people were
screwing up at rehearsal, your car battery had a problem,
You had a hole in your socks. It was a
complete mess in your life heading up to opening night
on Friday.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
It went great. Friday night went great, and we shaved
time off of the show, which is nice. I mean
that you'd like to.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
How did you do that? You cut people's lines? That suck?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
No, I mean we did drop a couple of lines.
We completely screwed up and forgot those. But I mean
there are things that we would recognize that unless you're
intimately aware of the show, you would never know it.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Right, intimate awareness of the male adult theater.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Something like that. Yes, And there's a lot of work
that goes on between the scenes. I mean, moving the
set around. It's I mean, it's a ballet. And people
were saying that that was just as much. That was
just as interesting as the show itself, just watching all
of those pieces move in the dark basically.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
So it's you guys that are moving this. You don't
have like people interesting.
Speaker 10 (18:44):
It's really cool.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
So how was it?
Speaker 10 (18:47):
I enjoyed it a lot, and my husband enjoyed it
a lot.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Also, do you like saying my husband?
Speaker 11 (18:53):
I do?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
She said it slowly.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Oh, I know, it's great.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Did you were you familiar with the story. The show
was called The Matchmaker, which is the play version of
Hello Dolly.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
I know of Hello Dolly.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
I've never actually seen Hello Dolly, but I found that
the play was really entertaining, so I'll have to go
and try to see if there's like some sort of
YouTube video of Hello Dolly, or I think there's.
Speaker 10 (19:21):
A movie too.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, there's a movie. It was Barbara Streisand and Walter Mathow.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
What's the premise again?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I play a rich old guy in Yonkers, New York,
looking for a bride, and Dolly is the matchmaker. She's
the Dolly Gallagher is the one that comes in and
she h for a fee, will hook me up with
the right woman. Okay, you've never been married. I was married.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
My wife died, Oh, dysentery, Oregon trail.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
They never explained. But she also is a widower. No,
I'm a widower. She's a widow.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Do you end up hooking up with Dolly?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yes? Oh, I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I just I spoil my calm brain. That's where it went.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
But there's also other couples, like my niece wants to
run off with this artist guy, and I hate it.
I hate the idea, and I'm for some reason, her caretaker.
And then the one of the guys that works in
the shop in my shop, he falls in love and
he's you know, starstruck and can't wait to.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
It's like love stories.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
It's it's love stories and it's all farce, it's all goofy.
I'm the serious character.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
So do you have to make out with Dolly?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
No, there's no, Well there is. There is a kissing scene,
but I'm not going to tell you what it is.
I'm not involved.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
As an adult theater actor. Can you say no to
that kind of thing?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Sure? You can also not just not do the play.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah, but I mean if you wanted to act but
you didn't want to, like kiss a stranger, it.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Depends depends on I would assume it depends on where
you're doing it. It depends on the show, and you're
familiar or comfortability with your comfort with whoever it is
that you're supposed to be making out with.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I don't need to. I'm not I'm be.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Honest, and it's like you don't it's gratuitous, like you
don't you know what's going to happen?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Right, right? So how was his acting? Keana don't lie?
Speaker 10 (21:19):
It was actually really good. I was very very impressed
with his acting. He is very.
Speaker 11 (21:25):
Serious in a lot of parts, and a lot of
those parts I was laughing silently, why wait a minute,
because it was just funny seeing you on stage and
acting in a role that wasn't you on air, And
I was like, this is so interesting.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
In this psychopath stuff, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Well? I would have appreciated if you laughed out loud.
That would have been nice.
Speaker 10 (21:48):
I did when the crowd laughed out loud, you held it.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I have felt this way about watching Gary in shows before,
where like because you know him and it's like it's
not a laugh scene or moment, but it's funny and
and then you feel like you're in church and you
want to laugh.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
And you are well, there was also something very funny.
There are four four There are four monologues in this show,
just you on stage, nobody else. Yeah, And I do
one of them and it's it's the first one of
the four and it's not really I mean, it shows
(22:26):
you the character of who I am. It's probably the
best descriptor. I'm explaining what I'm looking for in a
wife basically and why. And it's not a good it's
not a good character. I mean, he's not a nice guy.
And that's why one of the directors wanted me to
do this in front of my wife before she sees
(22:48):
it in the show, because she didn't want my wife
to be mad at me because he's an a hole.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
You've been with your wife for like twenty five.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Years, I know, and she had no problem, and it
was never going to be a serial whole. It would
not have come as a surprise to me. But last
night people applauded after the monologue. Oh, and it's not
the end of a scene. It's not even like I mean,
I walk off stage, but somebody else comes on right
after me and they applaud.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
They applauding the message or your role or your acting prowess.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
So pull the curtain back a little bit. One of
the guys in the show, it was his parents that
were there to watch it, and he said to them,
I don't know why people aren't applauding after Gary's monologue.
And then so they applauded, and then the whole crowd
followed them.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
My god, that's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
It was. I heard it as I was going off stage,
and I was like, why are you playing?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Oh how funny.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
It was very so I'm gonna applaud it then when
I go.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Wait till the end. Yeah, in the middle.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I might do it in the middle. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
And by the way, yeah, I've heard all of these
different stories about uh theater actors like Broadway theater, like
stories about the stuff that goes wrong. You know, somebody
has a heart tack in the front row, or someone's
on their cell phone in the second row, or food
or something like that. People do not know how to behave.
(24:09):
They do not know how to behave. And I don't
mean that as I mean. It could be a movie theater,
It could be a church service, it could be anything.
People just digging fistfuls of popcorn out of a crinkly
paper bag right in front of you. They don't care.
They don't care.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
If you're in a dancing monkey, you're there to entertain them.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
But if everybody is distracted by them chomping down on
their popcorn, people do well.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Then don't sell popcorn at the theater.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That's one of the Somebody did crack open a can
of soda in the middle of the monologue on Friday?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Didn't I drop a wine bottle the last time?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Coke bottle? Oh, I don't think you had a.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Wine bottle, somebody, so either, I'm like, why did I
have wine at the church?
Speaker 11 (24:50):
Somebody's phone went off like within the first five minutes
of the show.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, Saturday, despite the message at the beginning, which is
please take am to make sure that your cell phone is.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I'm gonna be super quiet and I'm not going to
have a Coca cola or anything else.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Okay, when we come back, more Veterans Day honorific cola.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Are you sure doesn't sound like me?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
That's the only thing that they would have had unless
you brought my own spirited in the little spirit.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
Perhaps you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Gary and Shannon kf I AM six forty live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
We are taking your your tributes today's Veterans Day. And
that's one of the things that we wanted to point
out was we have great listeners, many of them veterans,
but also great listeners who have veterans in their families,
and what better way to honor them to than, if
nothing else, just to shout them out with up. Gary
Shannon is a gym.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
I just want to give a major shut up to
My father probably served in the US Navy, retired Petty
Chief Officer. Thank you, kiss of Ally for your service.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Thank you for that.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
Good morning, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
I'd like to honor my grandfather David Hall Ames Tank Corp,
medic World War One and my triple great grandfather Nathaniel
Ames Revolutionary.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
War genuine Wow, triple great great Hygarian. Shannon. This is Christy.
I'd like you to honor my stepdad, mister Phil Cato Junior.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Landed in Normandy.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
He fought in he was attached to one hundred and
first Airborne.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
He landed in Normandy on Day one and as.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
A veteran of World War Two, and he passed away
in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
But I think of him every day and especially today.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah. Wanted to give a shout out to my dad,
Edward John Butler. Thirty years in the Navy, thirty one
at Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
What a nice what a nice way to transition right
into civilian life.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
We had a story about an Army private that was
identified after eighty years after his death in World War Two.
His name was Jeremiah Mahoney and seven months after the
D Day invasion of the coast there France, Jeremiah Mahoney,
baby faced, Private nineteen years old from Chicago and his
(27:22):
anti tank company were resupplying and reinforcing Allied forces for
weeks along the France Germany border. It was early January
nineteen forty five. There was a fierce German counter attack,
heavy artillery and mortar fire, and he was digging a
(27:43):
foxhole at the time. Jeremiah was a soldier and his
company later wrote to Private Mahoney's mother in Chicago. He wrote,
shells were falling, One came close, and this fellow jumped
into the foxhole on top of Mahoney. Then at once
another one came and, bursting in a tree, sprang shrap
downward into this open, finished, half finished whole.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
He was killed during that battle.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
His company was forced to retreat from the area, and
his body could not be recovered. The War Department issuing
a presumptive finding of death in January of forty six.
They had no record of the Germans capturing him, no remains,
and just last month the Defense pow Mia accounting agency
(28:28):
that tries to find and identify bodies of service members
who go missing during wars, announce that they had accounted
for Private Mahoney.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
They said, in nineteen forty seven, French civilians and de
mining units found a bunch of human remains in that
forest near that little town, and they told American military personnel.
They recovered thirty seven unidentified sets of remains. Those of
Private Mony were collected, but at the time they didn't
know who it was. I mean, in nineteen forty seven,
they clearly didn't have the scientific methods available that we
(28:58):
do now to identify him.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I mean this was not a one off.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
About eighty five hundred sets of remains of soldiers killed
in World War Two could not be identified. Of course,
these are buried in American military cemetery is under marble
markers with the word unknown. He was interred as an
unknown person in Belgium in nineteen forty nine. His uncle
(29:24):
or his nephew, excuse me, he says, for the first
time in my life, I have a familiarity with this
long lost uncle.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
His name's Jerry, he's seventy two. He said.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
There was a sense of closure in relief, but there
was a larger sense of remorse for his immediate family
not having this information before they passed.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Private Mahoney is going to be buried. You mentioned that
he's in Belgium, but they are going to bury him
at Arlington National Cemetery next spring full military honors. It
would be one hundred years after he was born.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Wow, he did.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
He did earn the Bronze Star medal and the Purple Heart.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
I'd like to honor my nephew, Jeffrey Klampitt and a
couple of years ago, he spent the better part of
a year at a little base that toned the border
between Gaza and Israel, and his job was to guard
that area and make sure there was no trouble and
it worked while he was there, but of course there's
(30:18):
been a lot of trouble since then. But a great
young man.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
That's very nice.
Speaker 12 (30:23):
I would like to see Happy Veterans Day to my father,
Master Sergeant Arthur Munos and he served two tours in
Vietnam and volunteered for the war. Great American, great guy, Thank.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
You, Thank you. All right, coming back, little bit of
swamp watch Gary and Shannon. We'll be back right after this.
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show. You
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on 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 (00:09):
Welcome to Monday, November. Eliven the Veterans Day. We are
taking your calls and ways to honor veterans. A couple
different people have given us not just themselves who are
had served as veterans, but relatives, etc. So and other
people that they want to point out, so thank you
for that. We'll get to more of those here in
(00:30):
just a bit. Firefighters continue to make progress against the
Mountain fire down in Ventura County. More than twenty thousand,
six hundred and thirty acres have burned about one hundred
and thirty four structures, most of those homes, and they
said this morning that it's thirty six percent contained. They
are going to be continuing to mop up hotspots. They
want to try to get this as much under control
(00:52):
as they possibly can before the winds are expected to
pick up again this afternoon, which is not great. Authority
is also investigating a d composing body found in a
hole along.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
The one to one freeway you Angel of Death.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Preliminary information indicates the body was next to the one
on one at the interchange of Mulholland and Kowanga this morning.
That was found between two concrete pillars on the southbound
side right shoulder embankment.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Gavin Newsom went full campaign mode one day. The body
wasn't even cold. Kamala's body was not even cold, and
Gavin Newsom started running for twenty twenty eight. He spent
Wednesday celebrating with Champagne at French Laundry. I don't know
that for a fact, but it's not that far off base,
is it. And then Thursday announced this plan to Trump
(01:44):
proof California, trying to have all the wagons circled in
Sacramento to make sure Trump does not get his dirty
fascist fingerprints on sparkling California because they're doing such a
great job without anybody infiltrating their plan to turn this
into a complete dumpster fire. But on Friday, Trump went
(02:07):
after Gavin Newsom's call for this special legislative session to
protect the progressive policies. He used a word for Newsom
on his truth social platform that was pretty strong. He
accused Gavin Usom of trying to kill kill in all caps,
our nation's beautiful California and said that's why more people
(02:30):
are leaving than are coming in.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
And those are not wrong.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
He said, he's using the term trump proof as a
way of stopping all of the great things that can
be done to make California great again.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
But I just overwhelmingly won the election.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's that's what I think Gavin Newsom has to be
careful about because even in overwhelmingly read California, I'm sorry,
overwhelmingly blue California, Trump got forty percent of the vote,
which if you live I mean, if you live in
La County, for example, that would probably surprise you. But
there's forty million people in this state and forty percent
(03:08):
of the voters chose Trump.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Did you see the difference between twenty twenty and twenty
twenty four of the voting map of California, a number
of the blue counties went red. Yeah, the number, it's
it's I mean, it's definitely you can tell the difference.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
So it is one of those things. You know, we
talked last week about the whole post mortem that needs
to be done within the Democratic Party. There was a
lot of discussion about that this weekend, especially on those
Sunday morning political talk shows. Of who is to blame
or which policies has the Democratic Party latched itself to
that just do not resonate with the majority of voters.
(03:47):
They you know that they're no longer sort of the
policy or the party of average Middle America. They've they've
gotten extreme in some of their their issues and that's
what they're losing sight of. And in California, listen, we're
not in danger or in there's no great risk for
(04:08):
Democrats here because it's going to take a while before
anybody votes Republican in the state of California. But it's
something to pay attention to, that's all.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It's okay, I can tell you need me to talk now.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Happy Veterans Day.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Shout out to my brother in law, Thomas Speeney, who
served in the Marines for over five years. He got
out and married my sister and he raised her two
kids and they had one of their own, so three
kids altogether, and he made a great bother and they've
been married for close to forty years now. So Thomas Feeney,
(04:48):
thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Hey guys. Yeah, people have been in war.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I'm not going to tell my story, but.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
My fa family's passed Civil War in the United States.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I believe a.
Speaker 8 (05:05):
Million people died in that war, and it's a forgotten war.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
It should not be forgotten.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
But yeah, my family fought in that war against flavoring
to be free and other things.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Hey, today's a day to pick up the phone, by
the way, men, especially pick up the phone and call
somebody that you know that served, whether it was Vietnam
or Iraqi, whatever conflict. Because I think that when you
do serve in veterans day is great and seeing the
(05:40):
Veterans' Day sales and happy veterans, we salute our veterans.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
This is one thing. But to hear from people in your.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Life that just call and say, hey, how are you doing,
thank you for your service, and what's going on in
your life, how you doing, I think that that goes
a long way.
Speaker 9 (05:54):
In honor of my mother's only sibling, Mike, was in
the US Navy my father's side. His older brother John
was in US Army World War Two. His older brother
Vince was US Navy Sebe's World War Two. My father
was in the US Navy World War Two. Their younger
brother Frank US Army Korea, and they had a younger
(06:18):
sister who riveted riveted planes together at Lockeed and her
name was Rosie.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's great. What was it, I don't know. It's thirty
seconds I.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Got it's the Quartersack King currently in Newport Beach. Of course,
big shout out to all the veterans, especially my grandfather
would pass a while back, served in World War Two.
And just a little tradition I do. I go out
to the bar tonight and I see any guy that
looks like a veteranm I buy him a beer. I've
(06:50):
done that every year for a lot of years.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
You look like a veteran. Here's the first. It's very cool,
fun play like that.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
That's great. Both of my grandfather served back at a
time when you kind of had to. I mean it
was a different time, right, my thirties and forties. But
my father didn't, but only because he was working. He
had a student deferment at the time, but was working
(07:18):
for the Navy, also as a civilian working for the Navy.
But I had uncles. His brother served in the Army
in Vietnam. I had another uncle on my mom's side
who served in the Air Force. I had a couple
of cousins both of them enlisted in the army, So
a lot of people in my family too.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
All right, coming up next, your chance at one thousand dollars.
That's exciting. Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
President Trump is going to announce Stephen Miller as the
Deputy Chief of Staff for policy, filling out these posts
pretty quickly.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And I don't judge people on their looks, but I
don't like the looks of that.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Guy, Steven Miller. What don't you like?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I don't know. He seems like a squirrel of a person.
That worries me.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
He does look like a squirrel of a person.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
He looks like he looks like one of the siblings
in that show where the siblings all.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Hate each other.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Succession. Yes, yeah, yeah, Like if you told AI to
come up with a suit wearing evildoer, seems like he
would be the guy. Yes, we'll see. He's been around.
He's been around that Trump's circle for quite a while.
We also found out that Tom Holman, former director of ICE,
is going to be named the Borders Are And I
(08:46):
don't know if that's no, there's no title, there's no
borders are position. But if you're just gonna say that
and put him in charge of things at the border,
does that mean they are going to come up with
as for that?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Well, and I heard that they are saying because one
of the narratives on the left is that they're going
to have concentration camps, and so they've responded to that saying,
we're not going to have concentration camps.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
What are we doing that?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You actually have to write that, Yeah, you're not gonna
have cutting sane at least. Defonica congresswoman out of New York,
will apparently become an ambassador to the UN for the
United States. I don't know much about her foreign policy experience,
but I know she's been a very loyal Trump supporter,
so it's one of the reasons why her name was
even on the list in the first place.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Spokesman for the Kremlin says that putin Trump call did
not happen, But take that with a grain of salt.

year old. Girlfriend in sleep for the first time in
three decades.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
He's wearing sleeves again.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
He looks ten years younger than he did when he coached.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
We'll do it.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Okay, do you want to talk about dogs?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I'd love dogs.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
There is no way to predict which dogs will make
good workers, but there are some canine behavioral scientists trying
to change that. They're studying puppies in hopes of developing
a behavior model that can predict the likelihood of dog
will successfully complete training and enter the canine workforce.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I'd like a job to work with puppies.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Well, I've seen a couple of different documentaries on dogs
because I'm fascinated with our relationships to these dumb animals.
And I mean that in a very condescending way. They're
not as smart as we are, but there's something about
that reships.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I've known dogs that were smarter than some people.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
But I mean there's something about that relationship that is
unlike our relationship to any other creature. Even the relationship
that people have with their cats is very different than
a relationship that you have with your dogs.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Careful, Amy's not out of the building now.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I'm just saying because I've had cats too. Granted, I
I mean, we all know the stories of Kevin and Sassey,
so but they'll talk about that.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
That's not lump in Kevin and Sase. Sassy I had.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
For like a week and a half and then I
just put her outside because my allergies were so bad
and she never came back. You had Kevin for years
and gave him away purposefully. Those are two the apples
and oranges. We are not the same. They not like us.
I mean me and Sassy, You and Kevin not like us.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Okay, However, you want to.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I had no.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Intention of giving Sassy away.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
They discussed in one of these documentaries that I saw
about puppies from the same litter can even show differences
that would preclude them from becoming good services.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yeah, you're different from your sisters.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Your sisters would be great service members, and they are
and you're not. You sit here in your boob radio
host what they're providing the community services with their.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Jobs and I do nothing.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Well, in that case, you were in the same litter,
but not really. We didn't come out at the same time.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Does that make a difference.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, Well, that's my point is that even in a
litter of say four or five puppies, you're gonna have
different characteristics in each one of them. I mean, that's
one of the reasons why we chose Peter out of
the three dogs that were there that were available, because
he was the middle. He wasn't the overly aggressive one,
he wasn't the super shy one. He was the one
(13:05):
in the middle, which is what you're going for. But
if you're looking to train them on the middle teat sure, Yeah,
if you want to use that analogy, that's one.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
No, I mean, do they have like dedicated teats.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Oh, I don't know. I didn't get that close when
they were busy feeding.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
How many teeths does a dog have?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Six? Six, eight?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
That's a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Well, there's a lot of puppies that come out. We're
pretty much veterans. Sorry, veterinarians. That's not I screwed that up.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Dogs typically have between eight and ten nipples, but fascinatingly so,
the number can vary from dog to dog. The number
of nipples a dog has is unique to them and
is not determined by their sex, breed, age, size, or
health status. Nipples are usually arranged in two rows underside
(14:00):
of a dog, as opposed to what.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
All over the place, over the place.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
A random pan.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, yeah, that was a question I had. Is it symmetry? Yeah,
like they're probably not perfectly in line.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I don't do that with your hands. I just wish
I take a picture of that. People could see what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Male nipples serve no purpose?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Amen, garyan Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Why are there nipples on my screen?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
What you?
Speaker 9 (14:40):
Well?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Your computer?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I was googling how many teats does a dog have
and it just says I just walked back and it's
like eight to ten nipples.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Gery and Shannon kfi Am, I forgot that we had
done that live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
What nipples make you bash?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Well, No, it's just funny that you forget the things
that you just you looked it up eight minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Eight A lot happened in those eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
A judge in Manhattan has poised it aside whether or
not to uphold a former president Trump's hush money verdict
or dismiss it on presidential immunity grounds. Judge Juan Mershawan
said that he will rule tomorrow on the President elect's
request to toss his conviction because of the US Supreme
Court ruling that gave president's broad protection. Of course, the
lawyers for the now president elect again have been fighting
(15:29):
for months to reverse his conviction. Yesterday, Chargers beat the
Titans twenty seven to seventeen.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Third winning a row defended at one. It was a
lot of fun. That was a great game.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
It was funny. Somebody over my shoulder. I was watching
that as I a couple hours before the play that
I was in and I had some downtime, so I
flip open the computer and I'm watching the game, and
somebody said, are you a Chargers fan? And I said, well,
I know somebody who works the game, so I'm I'm
I'm just watching to kind of see what's going on.
(16:03):
And they're nice people. Yeah, I don't wish ill will
upon them. It's nice when nice people succeed.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Well, it was funny when it was a kono I
think it was ConA pandles board up the other day
it was like, you're a Chargers fan or I hate
Chargers fans.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I'm like, who hates Chargers fans?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Like, what kind of a person says I hate Chargers fans?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I could see they're.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
A lovely people. They are truly a lovely fan base.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I could see people saying I hate Patriots.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I get I hate forty nine Er fans. We're awful.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
We are awful people, and we travel and just the
behavior in other stadiums it's atrocious. I hate myself and
I see that. I've incredible self awareness. Niner fans are awful.
Philadelphia Eagles fans awful people. Rams fans with their fake
noise and their Zuzu, Vella's or whatever they're called. Yes,
(16:58):
awful people, but Chargers fans. You don't come for Chargers
fans unless you have your own. It's not about the
milk with you. It's not about the Chargers fans. You're
dealing with something.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
The Rams will host the Dolphins tonight for Monday Night Football.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Tell me about your adult theater.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Well, ask Keana. She actually saw it. She saw it
on Saturday, which was wonderful. She and the new mister.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Keana, Brian has the name.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
They've been married for just a couple of weeks, and
she was able to convince him to drive all the
way up there and see the show.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Keana, are you there? Oh, she's not there. We'll get
her review coming up later.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
How was it? How did you okay?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
So on Friday, the last thing that you said was
everything was going wrong. Your microwave stopped working, people were
screwing up at rehearsal, your car battery had a problem,
You had a hole in your socks. It was a
complete mess in your life heading up to opening night
on Friday.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
It went great. Friday night went great, and we shaved
time off of the show, which is nice. I mean
that you'd like to.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
How did you do that? You cut people's lines? That suck?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
No, I mean we did drop a couple of lines.
We completely screwed up and forgot those. But I mean
there are things that we would recognize that unless you're
intimately aware of the show, you would never know it.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Right, intimate awareness of the male adult theater.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Something like that. Yes, And there's a lot of work
that goes on between the scenes. I mean, moving the
set around. It's I mean, it's a ballet. And people
were saying that that was just as much. That was
just as interesting as the show itself, just watching all
of those pieces move in the dark basically.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
So it's you guys that are moving this. You don't
have like people interesting.
Speaker 10 (18:44):
It's really cool.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
So how was it?
Speaker 10 (18:47):
I enjoyed it a lot, and my husband enjoyed it
a lot.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Also, do you like saying my husband?
Speaker 11 (18:53):
I do?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
She said it slowly.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Oh, I know, it's great.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Did you were you familiar with the story. The show
was called The Matchmaker, which is the play version of
Hello Dolly.
Speaker 10 (19:07):
I know of Hello Dolly.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
I've never actually seen Hello Dolly, but I found that
the play was really entertaining, so I'll have to go
and try to see if there's like some sort of
YouTube video of Hello Dolly, or I think there's.
Speaker 10 (19:21):
A movie too.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, there's a movie. It was Barbara Streisand and Walter Mathow.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
What's the premise again?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I play a rich old guy in Yonkers, New York,
looking for a bride, and Dolly is the matchmaker. She's
the Dolly Gallagher is the one that comes in and
she h for a fee, will hook me up with
the right woman. Okay, you've never been married. I was married.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
My wife died, Oh, dysentery, Oregon trail.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
They never explained. But she also is a widower. No,
I'm a widower. She's a widow.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Do you end up hooking up with Dolly?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yes? Oh, I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I just I spoil my calm brain. That's where it went.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
But there's also other couples, like my niece wants to
run off with this artist guy, and I hate it.
I hate the idea, and I'm for some reason, her caretaker.
And then the one of the guys that works in
the shop in my shop, he falls in love and
he's you know, starstruck and can't wait to.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
It's like love stories.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
It's it's love stories and it's all farce, it's all goofy.
I'm the serious character.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
So do you have to make out with Dolly?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
No, there's no, Well there is. There is a kissing scene,
but I'm not going to tell you what it is.
I'm not involved.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
As an adult theater actor. Can you say no to
that kind of thing?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Sure? You can also not just not do the play.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah, but I mean if you wanted to act but
you didn't want to, like kiss a stranger, it.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Depends depends on I would assume it depends on where
you're doing it. It depends on the show, and you're
familiar or comfortability with your comfort with whoever it is
that you're supposed to be making out with.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I don't need to. I'm not I'm be.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Honest, and it's like you don't it's gratuitous, like you
don't you know what's going to happen?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Right, right? So how was his acting? Keana don't lie?
Speaker 10 (21:19):
It was actually really good. I was very very impressed
with his acting. He is very.
Speaker 11 (21:25):
Serious in a lot of parts, and a lot of
those parts I was laughing silently, why wait a minute,
because it was just funny seeing you on stage and
acting in a role that wasn't you on air, And
I was like, this is so interesting.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
In this psychopath stuff, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Well? I would have appreciated if you laughed out loud.
That would have been nice.
Speaker 10 (21:48):
I did when the crowd laughed out loud, you held it.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I have felt this way about watching Gary in shows before,
where like because you know him and it's like it's
not a laugh scene or moment, but it's funny and
and then you feel like you're in church and you
want to laugh.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
And you are well, there was also something very funny.
There are four four There are four monologues in this show,
just you on stage, nobody else. Yeah, And I do
one of them and it's it's the first one of
the four and it's not really I mean, it shows
(22:26):
you the character of who I am. It's probably the
best descriptor. I'm explaining what I'm looking for in a
wife basically and why. And it's not a good it's
not a good character. I mean, he's not a nice guy.
And that's why one of the directors wanted me to
do this in front of my wife before she sees
(22:48):
it in the show, because she didn't want my wife
to be mad at me because he's an a hole.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
You've been with your wife for like twenty five.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Years, I know, and she had no problem, and it
was never going to be a serial whole. It would
not have come as a surprise to me. But last
night people applauded after the monologue. Oh, and it's not
the end of a scene. It's not even like I mean,
I walk off stage, but somebody else comes on right
after me and they applaud.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
They applauding the message or your role or your acting prowess.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
So pull the curtain back a little bit. One of
the guys in the show, it was his parents that
were there to watch it, and he said to them,
I don't know why people aren't applauding after Gary's monologue.
And then so they applauded, and then the whole crowd
followed them.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
My god, that's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
It was. I heard it as I was going off stage,
and I was like, why are you playing?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Oh how funny.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
It was very so I'm gonna applaud it then when
I go.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Wait till the end. Yeah, in the middle.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I might do it in the middle. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
And by the way, yeah, I've heard all of these
different stories about uh theater actors like Broadway theater, like
stories about the stuff that goes wrong. You know, somebody
has a heart tack in the front row, or someone's
on their cell phone in the second row, or food
or something like that. People do not know how to behave.
(24:09):
They do not know how to behave. And I don't
mean that as I mean. It could be a movie theater,
It could be a church service, it could be anything.
People just digging fistfuls of popcorn out of a crinkly
paper bag right in front of you. They don't care.
They don't care.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
If you're in a dancing monkey, you're there to entertain them.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
But if everybody is distracted by them chomping down on
their popcorn, people do well.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Then don't sell popcorn at the theater.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That's one of the Somebody did crack open a can
of soda in the middle of the monologue on Friday?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Didn't I drop a wine bottle the last time?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Coke bottle? Oh, I don't think you had a.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Wine bottle, somebody, so either, I'm like, why did I
have wine at the church?
Speaker 11 (24:50):
Somebody's phone went off like within the first five minutes
of the show.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, Saturday, despite the message at the beginning, which is
please take am to make sure that your cell phone is.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I'm gonna be super quiet and I'm not going to
have a Coca cola or anything else.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Okay, when we come back, more Veterans Day honorific cola.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Are you sure doesn't sound like me?
Speaker 2 (25:12):

Speaker 8 (26:30):

Speaker 2 (26:33):

Speaker 3 (26:36):
But I think of him every day and especially today.
Speaker 8 (26:39):

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah. Wanted to give a shout out to my dad,
Edward John Butler. Thirty years in the Navy, thirty one
at Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
What a nice what a nice way to transition right
into civilian life.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
We had a story about an Army private that was
identified after eighty years after his death in World War Two.
His name was Jeremiah Mahoney and seven months after the
D Day invasion of the coast there France, Jeremiah Mahoney,
baby faced, Private nineteen years old from Chicago and his
(27:22):
anti tank company were resupplying and reinforcing Allied forces for
weeks along the France Germany border. It was early January
nineteen forty five. There was a fierce German counter attack,
heavy artillery and mortar fire, and he was digging a
(27:43):
foxhole at the time. Jeremiah was a soldier and his
company later wrote to Private Mahoney's mother in Chicago. He wrote,
shells were falling, One came close, and this fellow jumped
into the foxhole on top of Mahoney. Then at once
another one came and, bursting in a tree, sprang shrap
downward into this open, finished, half finished whole.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
He was killed during that battle.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
His company was forced to retreat from the area, and
his body could not be recovered. The War Department issuing
a presumptive finding of death in January of forty six.
They had no record of the Germans capturing him, no remains,
and just last month the Defense pow Mia accounting agency
(28:28):
that tries to find and identify bodies of service members
who go missing during wars, announce that they had accounted
for Private Mahoney.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
They said, in nineteen forty seven, French civilians and de
mining units found a bunch of human remains in that
forest near that little town, and they told American military personnel.
They recovered thirty seven unidentified sets of remains. Those of
Private Mony were collected, but at the time they didn't
know who it was. I mean, in nineteen forty seven,
they clearly didn't have the scientific methods available that we
(28:58):
do now to identify him.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I mean this was not a one off.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
About eighty five hundred sets of remains of soldiers killed
in World War Two could not be identified. Of course,
these are buried in American military cemetery is under marble
markers with the word unknown. He was interred as an
unknown person in Belgium in nineteen forty nine. His uncle
(29:24):
or his nephew, excuse me, he says, for the first
time in my life, I have a familiarity with this
long lost uncle.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
His name's Jerry, he's seventy two. He said.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
There was a sense of closure in relief, but there
was a larger sense of remorse for his immediate family
not having this information before they passed.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Private Mahoney is going to be buried. You mentioned that
he's in Belgium, but they are going to bury him
at Arlington National Cemetery next spring full military honors. It
would be one hundred years after he was born.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Wow, he did.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
He did earn the Bronze Star medal and the Purple Heart.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
I'd like to honor my nephew, Jeffrey Klampitt and a
couple of years ago, he spent the better part of
a year at a little base that toned the border
between Gaza and Israel, and his job was to guard
that area and make sure there was no trouble and
it worked while he was there, but of course there's
(30:18):
been a lot of trouble since then. But a great
young man.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
That's very nice.
Speaker 12 (30:23):
I would like to see Happy Veterans Day to my father,
Master Sergeant Arthur Munos and he served two tours in
Vietnam and volunteered for the war. Great American, great guy, Thank.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
You, Thank you. All right, coming back, little bit of
swamp watch Gary and Shannon. We'll be back right after this.
