Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app Wednesday, November thirteenth, twenty twenty four.
It's my mother's birthday.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I know I've already wis sure?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Oh you have?
Speaker 4 (00:16):
I haven't called her?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
No, I haven't, but I will.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
We should call her. She would enjoy hearing from you.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
She probably wouldn't you know?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I met yesterday at the grocery store. I have you
have no idea, you have no guesses. No, remember Liz
who wrote us the letter about her daughter's story about
the baby birds.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yes, I met Liz. How did you meet at the
grocery store.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
How is that possible?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Well, we live in the same area, okay, and she said, Shannon,
And I said yes. And she said, oh hey, I'm
Liz and I sent you this story about the baby birds.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
And I said, oh, yes, we read that last week.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It was a nice story about the baby birds and
her daughter who fed the mama bird, mama bird that
looked after the little baby birds before they had hatched,
and how they lived there for a while and then they.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Made people cry.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
And no, it was a good story. It's a nice orry.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
But what are the odds that I met Liz. Well, well, listen,
there's a lot going on today. There's a concentration is
going to be on Washington, d C. Because of this
meeting that took place, or is taking place, I should say,
this morning between President elect Trump and President Biden.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
They had a meeting.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
They sat in front of the roaring fireplace for about
forty five seconds they spoke to each other.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Was president in the former president, thank you, found congratulations,
thank you, and looking forward to having like you said,
you can smooth transition to whatever. Baby, we can make
sure you're accommodating what you need and we're gonna get
a chance to talk us.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I'm out today. It's good. Well, thank you, Jay Man,
thank you very much.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
And politics is tough, and it's many cases not a
very nice world.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
But it is a nice world today.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
And I appreciate very much a transition that's so smooth.
It'll be as smooth as it could get.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
And I very much appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
You That was it, and they ushered the reporters out
of the room, no questions anything like that.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the decorum.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
It was such a it was a pleasant departure from
I mean, think about the images even specifically in that room.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Do you remember that very.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Tense meeting where Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi sat across
from Donald Trump and I believe it was Mike Pence
on the other couch and they're just zingers back and
forth about what the future of the government should be
and so on and so forth. This was a nice, boring,
old fashioned, just two old guys shaking hands and saying
(02:53):
nice things about each other.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
The announcement that outshined this meeting was the announcement that
Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek ramas Shwami, former
presidential candidate. Obviously, they will lead a new Department of
Government Efficiency. A lot of people are crying, Oh my goodness,
there's two people, this is redundant. There's a new government
(03:16):
to or there's a new department to get rid of
all the bureaucracy and the redundancy. In I say, a
I open your new department, have as many people lead
this thing as possible. Start slashing away because the bureaucracy
that exists.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
And the.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Bloated way that we that we have government in this
country is ridiculous. The money that we lose with all
the redundancy is insane well.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
And one of the things that is specific to this
is the former president announced that this would operate outside
of government to drive drastic change, that it would partner
with the White House, this Department of Government Efficiency and
its Budget Office to provide recommends to again recommendations to
cut regulations, cut staff, overhaul federal operations. Musk adopted the
(04:08):
nickname Doge of course Doge Department of Government Efficiency, reference
to his cryptocurrency that he touts.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It's silly, it's why I mean.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Elon Musk sometimes has the sensibilities of a twelve year
old boy in terms of the way he names.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
But he is a certain thing smart person.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You cannot argue how smart he is.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Things done and you know, you can be crazy cucko
pants and as long as you get things done.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
This is a perfect role for him.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
He said on x all actions of the Department of
Government Efficiency will be posted online for a maximum transparency.
He said, anytime the public things were cutting something important
or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know. He
said that there will be a public leader board to
track spending of tax dollars. He said, we will have
(04:58):
a leader board for the most in insanely dumb spending
of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic
and extremely entertaining. Hell, yes it will.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
We will.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
We will monitor this diligently.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
So what I'm I'm curious about is the relationship between
Vivek Ramaswami and Elon Musk. I mean, obviously they've been
in the same circles lately because of their their proximity
to Trump specifically, But this is gonna be an interesting
relationship between the two of these guys.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And I don't know how they get along.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I don't know if if the reason, they don't need
to get along well, but but then why put them together?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, they but they'll have separate I think they're gonna
have separate avenues of cutting.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Interesting.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I mean, just that was kind of my thought, is
how how are these two guys gonna work well they together?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
They obviously to it.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Or or this is Trump being classic Trump and playing
the apprentice and playing them off of each other to
see who does a.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Better job, who's gonna who's gonna beat out the other person?
Exactly to end uh the year. He loves that stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Like I could see the meeting now of him calling
Elon Muskin the vekan.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I mean like, Okay, what'd you do this week?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
What do you do?
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Do you do better than him? How many jobs you cut?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
He's got on one side of him and the other
guy on the other side.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah, exactly. The actual show for apprentis. One of the
other things that's going on in Washington, d C. Right
now is the Senate Republicans have just elected a new
majority leader to take office in the next in the
next Congress, and that's going to be Senator John Thune.
(06:33):
John Thune of South Dakota is the current Republican whip.
He beat out John Cornyan of Texas, who was his
predecessor as the whip. Rick Scott of Florida, longtime critic
of the current Majority leader Mitch McConnell, was running kind
of as an outsider in all of this. Most of
the MAGA crowd had actually coalesced. It looked like behind
Rick Scott, but he was eliminated in the first ballot.
(06:56):
So again John Thune elected the new Senate Republican leader,
and he will have a huge say in whether or
not the Senate gets to pick up on new or
I should say President elect Trump's campaign promises and what
that's going to mean in terms of judicial appointments, vacancies
(07:17):
that the president elect wants to fill, and whether John
Thune works with him to do that sort of thing.
So John Thune, new Senate Republican leader.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Trump's pick for SEC. Deaf is getting a lot of
attention this morning. Pete Haig Seth a Fox News commentator,
veteran commentator, excus me, and veteran. He has gone after
the so called woke policies of the Pentagon. He's opposed
women in combat roles. He's questioned whether the top American
(07:46):
general was in his position simply because of his skin color.
So these are going to be some interesting hearings there
in that Senate.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
We'll talk about Pete Hegseth coming up. Also, we now
know more specifics about what this cell phone ban is
going to be for LA Unified. I applaud just about
every single one of them. Sure I think they're doing
this is a Despite what a fourteen year old girl
might think, this is a great service to these kids.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Terrifies me that a phone is in the hands of
a fourteen year old girl.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I mean as much younger than that.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I know it does.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
But we've also got one fantastic story today. And I
mean not just one, but we have a fantastic story
that is kind of.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
A Is this about the stuffed animal pants?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Not at all?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Is this about the ROBOTAXI?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Not at all?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Is this about the couple murdered? No, it's not that,
not that one either.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
It's about a kid who is the victim of a
crime and his family is being helped out by a
car dealership here in southern California. Oh that's nice, it's
really it's a really great story. So a great story.
All that's coming up.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
You're listening to you Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Spotify will put together a playlist for you every week.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
It's called Discover Weekly Songs that Spotify knows you listen to,
and then they kind of create their own playlist for
you and I check it out from time to time.
And this morning I click on that and the first
song that comes up is a country song, and it
starts off I'm like, this is nice, and then it takes.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
A turn really quickly.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Really.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Yeah, it's called good Looking Dixon Dallas is the artist.

Okay, young country singer.

Speaker 4 (10:09):

I did. I will, I'm sorry, and then I started
it again.

Cheese n.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
He's saying, he's bouncing off my booty cheeks.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yes, it's.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I'm like, what algorithm did I play myself into on Spotify?
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Well, and I'm going back. It starts bouncing around in
people's heads. Can I cleanse it with another song that
I found today?
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
This is the Moo Dang song English version, And to
fully cleanse it out of your head, here's Moo Dang
in Japanese.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Wait, he's mountain off.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
You know.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
I love that sound.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
He's mounting my booty cheeks the way I think we
got it, I think I think we don't need to
play that anymore.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
I just am confused, right, that's not I mean, I
know that country is branching out.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You're hearing songs and treatments of country music that you're
not accustomed to.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
That one that caught me off guard.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
He's bount my booty cheeks.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I love the way right right.
Speaker 4 (11:46):

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Booty A little bit dang glushity boy. Do you remember
what mood dang even means?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yes, it means I thought it was that little hippo.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, yes, But what it translates to what moodang translates to,
It's like it's not food.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Yes, I think it's bouncy meatball or something like that,
not meatball, bouncy meat fat.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I thought it was fat something.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Either way, it is bouncy pork.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Bouncy pork. That's what it is.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Bouncy meatball I made.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
How foolish of me?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I I made meatballs last night?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Were they bouncy?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
You're damn right they were?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Pete haig sef so like bouncing off your booty cheeks
bouncy pork. See how it all comes together.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I don't feel good.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Pete Hegseth is likely to become the next Secretary of Defense.
Conservative commentator TV host. We know the former president likes
people who are handsome and good looking, and on television,
this guy's got a pantload of tattoos on him, probably
the most tattooed potential Secretary of Defense that we've ever had.
(13:39):
Eric Edelman, served as the Pentagon's top policy official during
the Bush administration, says it appears that one of the
main criteria that's being used is how well do people
defend Donald Trump on television? And Pete hegg Seth not
just on television, but he's an author and he's written
a couple of books to defend MAGA policies. Another defense
industry lobbyist went to politic Go and said, who the
(14:01):
f is this guy? The lobbyist had said that they
were hoping for someone who actually has an extensive background
in defense. That would be a good start, but that's
not what we know about Donald Trump and his choices
for who he would want in his cabinet now. Scott
Jennings is a conservative commentator on CNN and came out
(14:22):
last night and defended the choice of Pete Heggs EF.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I'd say I've had just about enough of the so
called insiders running the Defense Department.
Speaker 7 (14:29):
I think we ought to get Pete Haggs at the
chance because he's got two daughters.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
All the criticism of.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Him is that he's not the expected Washington pick, and
I'm just saying to you that the American people just
voted against the expected Washington pick.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
So he's got.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Twenty years in service Afghanistan, Iraq, Tubron Stars, Princeton, Harvard.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah, he's on TV, but so are the rest of us.
He's got quite a resume, even if he doesn't have
the extensive government administrative experience that you would have expected
from a Secretary of Defense. I found this interview specifically,
and it kind of gives a clue into what his
mentality is about the readiness of all armed forces for
(15:12):
the United States of America, the.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Way our system works, the way our bureaucratic system works,
where the speed of weapons procurement works were always a
decade behind and fighting the last war. Whereas China there
we have a we have you know what Romsfeld say,
you go to the war of the army, you have
we have the army China's building an army specifically dedicated
to defeating the United States of America. That is, that
(15:34):
is their strategic outset. Take hypersonic missiles.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
So if our whole, if our whole.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Power projection platform is aircraft carriers and the ability to
project power that way strategically around the globe. And yeah,
we have a nuclear triad and all of that, but
a big part of it.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
And if you know, fifteen.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Hypersonic missiles can take out our ten aircraft carriers in
the first twenty minutes of a conflict, what does.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
That look like?
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Yeah, I mean, and when they're if you've already got
us by the balls. Economically, which you pointed out very well,
with our grid culturally, there's plenty of elite capture going
on around the globe, I mean, and then micro chips
and everything. Why do they want Taiwan? They want a
corner the market completely on the technological future and can't
(16:17):
even drive our cars without the stuff we need out of.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
China these days.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
I mean, they have a full spectrum, long term view
of not just regional but global domination, and we are
we have our heads up our asses.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I like that We've got they've got us by the balls,
and we've got our heads up our asses.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
That's some plain speaking, man.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
It's a clear policy about not ignoring the fact, right
that there is a massive superpower in China that has
a long term plan that they have been executing for
the last couple of decades and we should be threatened
by them.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Between him and Marco Rue, should that news pan out
to be true, you can tell that this administration is
going to take a very firm stance with China.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
And it's curious because you know, one of the things
that that Trump has said is he doesn't want to
get us involved in wars. He celebrates the fact that
when he was in office the first time, that we
weren't involved in too many international conflicts like that.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
So does that change?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
I mean, are we are we portending some sort of
conflict with China in the future. Sounds like Pete Hegseth says,
we want to make sure that we don't have to
do that.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Ps.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
A new report shows inflation accelerated last month, so that's
great news. Consumer prices rose two point six percent year
over year in October. That jump broke a six month
streak of cooling inflation.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I'm gonna I'm I'm sorry, I didn't understand a word
you said. I'm still.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
That's going to be a thing, isn't it. I think
it is. I think it just became part of the fabric.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Of our families something because you said, hey, pull up
this song.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Don't listen to it, but pull up this song.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
I wanted just hit it to hit you the way
it hit me.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
When I'm in my car driving in traffic on the
two ten and I think I've stumbled upon a nice
country song, and all of a sudden, the booty cheeks attack.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
The booty cheeks attack cell phone policies. When we come back, don't.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Check no more booty cheeks. Maybe a little bit more,
just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Stories.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
We are following for you today, President Biden. President elect Trump,
showing a unified front today in the Oval Office, too,
met at the White House. Both spoke of a peaceful
transition of power. Shook hands. Biden said he'll make sure
Trump gets what he needs. Trump says politics is tough,
but it will be a peaceful transition. You're still reeling
(19:06):
from your latest discovery into a different lane of country music.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
It's just a genre. It's a genre bending. Can I
say that it's a genre bending version of country music?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
And bouncing off my booty cheeks refers to a cowboy
riding a horse.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
No, no, it does not, sir, Nope.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Check the discography, check the other well, in fact.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Never mind, do not check the other lyrics.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
As I said to you in the break, I'm glad
you cut that song off when you did, because the
next line.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Clearly says it's not a horse.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
It is not a horse. There was no horse.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
In any portion of that. There was no horse.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team are planning to
go to Mexico. They will resign before Trump takes office.
According to multiple reports, it's from the obvious desk.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Layoffs have been a common theme in people's lives. Recently,
CNN is the latest to say that they will probably
be cutting one hundred persons and some of their very
high paid staff after their dismal elections ratings.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
NASA's JPL says that they.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Are going to lay off about three hundred and twenty
five people, about five percent of their workforce. JPL's dealing
with budget cuts technical challenges that have roiled their MARS
sample return program. This workforce reduction comes in the wake
of an already eight percent layoff that they had back
in February.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
LA unified students will be banned from using their cell
phones and social media during the school day starting February
of next year.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
This is excellent news.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Students may not use cell phones, smart watches, earbuds on
campus during school hours. The devices must be turned off
and stored. They can use them before and after school,
and they will have access to their phones in case
of an emergency. There are some exceptions students with disabilities
at translation health based needs, and I'm wondering how flimsy.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
These exceptions are.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
If there is a room for fraud so to speak,
when it comes to parents making, you know, exceptions for
their kids using phony excuses.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
But is it the parents that would do it, or
is it.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It would be parents that are manipulated by their children
into doing it.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Yeah, probably students with disabilities who might use a cell
phone or other tech as part of an IEP or
a five or four plan, they'll also not lose access
to their devices.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
But then I almost think.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
That if you do have those if you are one
of those kids that does fit one of those exceptions,
do you then become a target for bullying?
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I don't know, aren't you already?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Kids these days, they're not I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Think they bully kids that are different the way they
did when we were kids.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I think it's a new world.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Everybody's celebrated and nobody's bullying exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
There will also be the parents who have the attitude
of the school system is not going to tell me
and my kid what my kid can do and listen.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
I'm all for parental autonomy when it comes to stuff
like that, but you are being moron if you think
that having your kid's phone next to their face all
day is a good thing for them.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
This is not the hill to die on.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
If you want control over your you want the school
to have no control over your kid.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Yeah, they said that The expectation is that would students
come back from President's Day weekend in February, these new
policies will be in place at every school. They've they've
had to push it back a bit simply because they
want to make sure that this program is deployable to
all of the different campuses. And then, of course, one
(22:48):
of the criticisms that we've heard from parents is what
happens in the event of an emergency. How does a
kid get in touch with their parents or you know,
when the off chance they need to call nine to
one to one for some reason, How would that happen.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It sounds like the phones need to be turned off
and stored in their bag or what have you. They're
not saying it has to be in the locker in case,
you know, there's a shooter in the classroom or whatever
and they're hunkered down and want to call their parents.
It sounds like they can keep it on their person,
they just can't take it out.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
The Chief of School Operations, Andre chait.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Shay, I'm not sure how to pronounce that, and I apologize.
Overseas school safety, among other responsibilities, says there isn't really
a formal definition of what an emergency is. What constitutes
an emergency that would allow the kids to use their phones,
and he said, when all else fails, we simply apply
common sense, like if you have to leave campus because
of something earthquake, five, whatever, that might constitute a time
(23:48):
when staff members let students have their phones to text families.
But they said, a lockdown in and of itself is
not necessarily an emergency because, I mean, we've reported on
multiple lockdowns that turn out to be nothing.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The vast majority of them turn out to be nothing.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
So the school is going to have to determine on
a case by case basis when it rises to the
level of an emergency.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
To allow kids to have access to their phones.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
So and then, yes, you you can have say in
your school's plan, but make sure that you contact the
right people and not just bitch about it to your friends.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
You said a bad word on the radio just now, honey.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
There have been so much that's already been said in
the first forty two minutes of this show that I
feel okay with saying that you're swearing.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You're calling me, honey, I'm worried, very worried you love
stuffed animals. There's a couple of things that you love
in this world, that's true. Stuffed animals is one of them.
K pop is another. Both of those things are warnings
the literature about women. To me, what does that mean
literature women? But anyway, they are saying that stuffed animals
(25:00):
have become a wrecking ball in the fashion industry.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
We'll explain this when we come back.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And today was the day. If if you're here with us,
it is a momentous day. It is a day that
we added to the booty song catalog on the Gary
and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
That's not going to be on the play it is.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
It is put it on the special thing. I'm gonna
put it on the secret panel that we never play.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Come on, it's a catchy little tia, It really is,
Gary Amy, if you knew the lyrics of the other
songs that this guy, no, are they bad?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Amy?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I is that a dumb question? I have never can't
stop looking at them, though.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Have I ever seen lyrics like that? Have you ever
seen lyrics like that?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I mean some of the females have come close to that.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Oh you mean hot girl rap song Summer that that stuff. Yes,
some of that stuff is pretty uh, and this guy's
just breaking new ground. I guess it's creative writing.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
How I've questions. I have so many questions.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
About I mean, this is like eight hundred number stuff, right,
eight hundred numbers?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Well, isn't this what you used to call eight hundred
numbers to hear nine numbers?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Oh yes, I don't know six numbers?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, oh yeah, ninety seven six hot ass or something.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Excuse me, let's go to break good idea.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Big Story Today, Trump says Elon Musk and former Republican
presidential candidate Vivek Ramashwami will lead a new Department of
Government Efficiency. Despite the name, the new organization will not
be a government agency. It's going to be an outside
group that offers the White House advice on how to
drive large scale structural reform, create an entrepreneurial approach to government.
(26:55):
They want to shock government systems. The acronym is DO,
which is a nod to Musk's favorite cryptocurrency, which is
surging in value since Trump won the election.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Speaking of the election, I saw this today a poll
from the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies is asking people,
what if Kamala Harris runs for governor.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
That's not going to happen. There's no way that's not
going to happen. You're not going to hear from her again, Nearly.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Half of voters would be very or somewhat likely to
support her. Now she would have stronger support overall from Democrats.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Duh, nearly a two to one voter registration advantage.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I thought Via Ragosa in here every day and pimp
ym for governor before I okayed that.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
You make a point. I don't know what.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
I don't know what she feels about her chances for
political office in the future.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
She didn't win a county.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
She didn't win well, she didn't win a state. Remember
they said that that was of the states. But she
didn't win any swing states. She didn't overperform Biden in
any state.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
The thing is.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Beyond that, she didn't even make it into the actual
primaries when she was running for president against Biden and others.
But but she didn't even get she didn't win any electorates.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
We might we might get a lot of entertainment out
of that on the show.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Possibly Quick Sad Story. Actor Dave Coolier has announced that
he has cancer. Yeah from Full House. Uncle Joey said
he was diagnosed with stage stree non Hodgkin lymphoma five
weeks ago. Shared that he had been undergoing treatment for
what is this aggressive blood cancer, including three surgeries and chemo.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
So just to you know, the more.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I think about the Kamala hair that is very sad,
the more I think about the Kamala Harris thing, I
think that that's a possibility.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
I think it's a real possibility.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I think California would embrace giving her a soft landing spot,
being the bluest, biggest state in the country, the woman
who fought against Trump, and maybe the country did not agree,
but in California, she's our girl.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
And well, if nothing else, she's got the name recognition.
Via ra Gosa has the second highest name recognition of
anybody who's already said that they're running for running for governor,
and that includes people who are currently next to the governor.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I mean the lieutenant governor.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Landy coun Ilachus is going to be running, Tony Thurman
is going to be People don't know who those people are.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Ye, Look, Brooks and Dunn are on the Today Show.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
I wonder if they're singing about booty. We're going to
be sued by Brooks and Dun's people momentarily just for
playing that. I was saying Brooks and it was not
but in the same breath as Brooks and done.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Okay, so I've got a wig.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Question questions. There is a fashion designer. His name is
Chad Nasm and he is getting quite the following in
the online fashion world because of a bizarre design he's
come up with. He's twenty two, He's from Virginia, and
he has taken perfectly good wearable pants and sewn at
(30:26):
least two hundred stuffed animals onto the legs.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
He says, in fashion, a lot of things are boring.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I'm able to kind of do what I want and
be ab a wrecking ball in the industry. How much
will they cost you? Six hundred and fifty dollars. They're
like beanie baby pants. They weigh five pounds.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
They're hands sewn by a team of sewers, including Chad's
seventy nine year old grandmother.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Poor woman, that poor woman, don't.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Worry that the stuffed animals are only on the front,
so you can sit your moody down without sitting on
stuffed animals.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
The juge zoo could serve as a cushion if you
happen to take a fall forward.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
He claims, you could jump on your knees and you
would not feel anything.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
As many as with many bizarre fashion trends, they say
celebrities are getting involved.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Oh you know Bam Bam, the K pop rapper. It's
one of your favorites, right, Bam Bam. No.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
I also don't know Ariyah Alberta Hargate. You know Dk Metcalf.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I do know Dk Metcalf.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
He wore the pants on Game Day, which got a
lot of people talking.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Man, all it takes is.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
One person to wear something stupid and for other people
to think it's the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Yes, that is the world of fashion in a nutshell.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
After seeing this guy needs to be It's like your
sweater today.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
You saw somebody wearing that and instantly you had to
have it. No, and it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
What at least I'm not wearing a sweatshirt from the
late eighties.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
I am wearing a sweatshirt from the Ladies.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Your your sweatshirt, says Espree. I know I haven't seen
something with a Spree on it.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I was just kidding about your sweater, and no's inocuous,
like you're not.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
It's a great sweater. Kidding Stop now are you trying?
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Now you're you're over correcting, You're going too far.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
You gotta drive, you gotta steer into the skid and
you have completely jacked the car around. After seeing the
football player Dk Metcalf wear the plush pants, a thirty
five year old entrepreneur in Toronto bought the pants and
wore them courtside to a Toronto Raptors game.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
It's the Canadians that is what we have to blame.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
He said.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
I probably got stopped for eight or nine pictures. I'm
never going to stop another man and ask him if
I may take pictures of his pants.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
You don't know that, yep.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I mean the day is very, very young.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
The best story of the day when we come back
to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six

and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on

It's my mother's birthday.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I know I've already wis sure?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Oh you have?
Speaker 4 (00:16):
I haven't called her?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
No, I haven't, but I will.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
We should call her. She would enjoy hearing from you.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
She probably wouldn't you know?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I met yesterday at the grocery store. I have you
have no idea, you have no guesses. No, remember Liz
who wrote us the letter about her daughter's story about
the baby birds.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Yes, I met Liz. How did you meet at the
grocery store.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
How is that possible?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Well, we live in the same area, okay, and she said, Shannon,
And I said yes. And she said, oh hey, I'm
Liz and I sent you this story about the baby birds.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
And I said, oh, yes, we read that last week.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It was a nice story about the baby birds and
her daughter who fed the mama bird, mama bird that
looked after the little baby birds before they had hatched,
and how they lived there for a while and then they.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Made people cry.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
And no, it was a good story. It's a nice orry.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
But what are the odds that I met Liz. Well, well, listen,
there's a lot going on today. There's a concentration is
going to be on Washington, d C. Because of this
meeting that took place, or is taking place, I should say,
this morning between President elect Trump and President Biden.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
They had a meeting.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
They sat in front of the roaring fireplace for about
forty five seconds they spoke to each other.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Was president in the former president, thank you, found congratulations,
thank you, and looking forward to having like you said,
you can smooth transition to whatever. Baby, we can make
sure you're accommodating what you need and we're gonna get
a chance to talk us.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I'm out today. It's good. Well, thank you, Jay Man,
thank you very much.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
And politics is tough, and it's many cases not a
very nice world.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
But it is a nice world today.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
And I appreciate very much a transition that's so smooth.
It'll be as smooth as it could get.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
And I very much appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
You That was it, and they ushered the reporters out
of the room, no questions anything like that.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the decorum.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
It was such a it was a pleasant departure from
I mean, think about the images even specifically in that room.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Do you remember that very.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Tense meeting where Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi sat across
from Donald Trump and I believe it was Mike Pence
on the other couch and they're just zingers back and
forth about what the future of the government should be
and so on and so forth. This was a nice, boring,
old fashioned, just two old guys shaking hands and saying
(02:53):
nice things about each other.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
The announcement that outshined this meeting was the announcement that
Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek ramas Shwami, former
presidential candidate. Obviously, they will lead a new Department of
Government Efficiency. A lot of people are crying, Oh my goodness,
there's two people, this is redundant. There's a new government
(03:16):
to or there's a new department to get rid of
all the bureaucracy and the redundancy. In I say, a
I open your new department, have as many people lead
this thing as possible. Start slashing away because the bureaucracy
that exists.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
And the.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Bloated way that we that we have government in this
country is ridiculous. The money that we lose with all
the redundancy is insane well.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
And one of the things that is specific to this
is the former president announced that this would operate outside
of government to drive drastic change, that it would partner
with the White House, this Department of Government Efficiency and
its Budget Office to provide recommends to again recommendations to
cut regulations, cut staff, overhaul federal operations. Musk adopted the
(04:08):
nickname Doge of course Doge Department of Government Efficiency, reference
to his cryptocurrency that he touts.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It's silly, it's why I mean.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Elon Musk sometimes has the sensibilities of a twelve year
old boy in terms of the way he names.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
But he is a certain thing smart person.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You cannot argue how smart he is.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Things done and you know, you can be crazy cucko
pants and as long as you get things done.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
This is a perfect role for him.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
He said on x all actions of the Department of
Government Efficiency will be posted online for a maximum transparency.
He said, anytime the public things were cutting something important
or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know. He
said that there will be a public leader board to
track spending of tax dollars. He said, we will have
(04:58):
a leader board for the most in insanely dumb spending
of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic
and extremely entertaining. Hell, yes it will.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
We will.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
We will monitor this diligently.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
So what I'm I'm curious about is the relationship between
Vivek Ramaswami and Elon Musk. I mean, obviously they've been
in the same circles lately because of their their proximity
to Trump specifically, But this is gonna be an interesting
relationship between the two of these guys.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And I don't know how they get along.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I don't know if if the reason, they don't need
to get along well, but but then why put them together?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, they but they'll have separate I think they're gonna
have separate avenues of cutting.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Interesting.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I mean, just that was kind of my thought, is
how how are these two guys gonna work well they together?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
They obviously to it.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Or or this is Trump being classic Trump and playing
the apprentice and playing them off of each other to
see who does a.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Better job, who's gonna who's gonna beat out the other person?
Exactly to end uh the year. He loves that stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Like I could see the meeting now of him calling
Elon Muskin the vekan.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I mean like, Okay, what'd you do this week?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
What do you do?
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Do you do better than him? How many jobs you cut?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
He's got on one side of him and the other
guy on the other side.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah, exactly. The actual show for apprentis. One of the
other things that's going on in Washington, d C. Right
now is the Senate Republicans have just elected a new
majority leader to take office in the next in the
next Congress, and that's going to be Senator John Thune.
(06:33):
John Thune of South Dakota is the current Republican whip.
He beat out John Cornyan of Texas, who was his
predecessor as the whip. Rick Scott of Florida, longtime critic
of the current Majority leader Mitch McConnell, was running kind
of as an outsider in all of this. Most of
the MAGA crowd had actually coalesced. It looked like behind
Rick Scott, but he was eliminated in the first ballot.
(06:56):
So again John Thune elected the new Senate Republican leader,
and he will have a huge say in whether or
not the Senate gets to pick up on new or
I should say President elect Trump's campaign promises and what
that's going to mean in terms of judicial appointments, vacancies
(07:17):
that the president elect wants to fill, and whether John
Thune works with him to do that sort of thing.
So John Thune, new Senate Republican leader.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Trump's pick for SEC. Deaf is getting a lot of
attention this morning. Pete Haig Seth a Fox News commentator,
veteran commentator, excus me, and veteran. He has gone after
the so called woke policies of the Pentagon. He's opposed
women in combat roles. He's questioned whether the top American
(07:46):
general was in his position simply because of his skin color.
So these are going to be some interesting hearings there
in that Senate.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
We'll talk about Pete Hegseth coming up. Also, we now
know more specifics about what this cell phone ban is
going to be for LA Unified. I applaud just about
every single one of them. Sure I think they're doing
this is a Despite what a fourteen year old girl
might think, this is a great service to these kids.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Terrifies me that a phone is in the hands of
a fourteen year old girl.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I mean as much younger than that.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I know it does.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
But we've also got one fantastic story today. And I
mean not just one, but we have a fantastic story
that is kind of.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
A Is this about the stuffed animal pants?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Not at all?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Is this about the ROBOTAXI?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Not at all?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Is this about the couple murdered? No, it's not that,
not that one either.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
It's about a kid who is the victim of a
crime and his family is being helped out by a
car dealership here in southern California. Oh that's nice, it's
really it's a really great story. So a great story.
All that's coming up.
Speaker 3 (08:59):

Pete Hegseth is likely to become the next Secretary of Defense.
Conservative commentator TV host. We know the former president likes
people who are handsome and good looking, and on television,
this guy's got a pantload of tattoos on him, probably
the most tattooed potential Secretary of Defense that we've ever had.
(13:39):
Eric Edelman, served as the Pentagon's top policy official during
the Bush administration, says it appears that one of the
main criteria that's being used is how well do people
defend Donald Trump on television? And Pete hegg Seth not
just on television, but he's an author and he's written
a couple of books to defend MAGA policies. Another defense
industry lobbyist went to politic Go and said, who the
(14:01):
f is this guy? The lobbyist had said that they
were hoping for someone who actually has an extensive background
in defense. That would be a good start, but that's
not what we know about Donald Trump and his choices
for who he would want in his cabinet now. Scott
Jennings is a conservative commentator on CNN and came out
(14:22):
last night and defended the choice of Pete Heggs EF.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I'd say I've had just about enough of the so
called insiders running the Defense Department.
Speaker 7 (14:29):
I think we ought to get Pete Haggs at the
chance because he's got two daughters.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
All the criticism of.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Him is that he's not the expected Washington pick, and
I'm just saying to you that the American people just
voted against the expected Washington pick.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
So he's got.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Twenty years in service Afghanistan, Iraq, Tubron Stars, Princeton, Harvard.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah, he's on TV, but so are the rest of us.
He's got quite a resume, even if he doesn't have
the extensive government administrative experience that you would have expected
from a Secretary of Defense. I found this interview specifically,
and it kind of gives a clue into what his
mentality is about the readiness of all armed forces for
(15:12):
the United States of America, the.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Way our system works, the way our bureaucratic system works,
where the speed of weapons procurement works were always a
decade behind and fighting the last war. Whereas China there
we have a we have you know what Romsfeld say,
you go to the war of the army, you have
we have the army China's building an army specifically dedicated
to defeating the United States of America. That is, that
(15:34):
is their strategic outset. Take hypersonic missiles.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
So if our whole, if our whole.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Power projection platform is aircraft carriers and the ability to
project power that way strategically around the globe. And yeah,
we have a nuclear triad and all of that, but
a big part of it.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
And if you know, fifteen.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Hypersonic missiles can take out our ten aircraft carriers in
the first twenty minutes of a conflict, what does.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
That look like?
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Yeah, I mean, and when they're if you've already got
us by the balls. Economically, which you pointed out very well,
with our grid culturally, there's plenty of elite capture going
on around the globe, I mean, and then micro chips
and everything. Why do they want Taiwan? They want a
corner the market completely on the technological future and can't
(16:17):
even drive our cars without the stuff we need out of.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
China these days.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
I mean, they have a full spectrum, long term view
of not just regional but global domination, and we are
we have our heads up our asses.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I like that We've got they've got us by the balls,
and we've got our heads up our asses.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
That's some plain speaking, man.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
It's a clear policy about not ignoring the fact, right
that there is a massive superpower in China that has
a long term plan that they have been executing for
the last couple of decades and we should be threatened
by them.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Between him and Marco Rue, should that news pan out
to be true, you can tell that this administration is
going to take a very firm stance with China.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
And it's curious because you know, one of the things
that that Trump has said is he doesn't want to
get us involved in wars. He celebrates the fact that
when he was in office the first time, that we
weren't involved in too many international conflicts like that.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
So does that change?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
I mean, are we are we portending some sort of
conflict with China in the future. Sounds like Pete Hegseth says,
we want to make sure that we don't have to
do that.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Ps.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
A new report shows inflation accelerated last month, so that's
great news. Consumer prices rose two point six percent year
over year in October. That jump broke a six month
streak of cooling inflation.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I'm gonna I'm I'm sorry, I didn't understand a word
you said. I'm still.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
That's going to be a thing, isn't it. I think
it is. I think it just became part of the fabric.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Of our families something because you said, hey, pull up
this song.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Don't listen to it, but pull up this song.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
I wanted just hit it to hit you the way
it hit me.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
When I'm in my car driving in traffic on the
two ten and I think I've stumbled upon a nice
country song, and all of a sudden, the booty cheeks attack.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
The booty cheeks attack cell phone policies. When we come back, don't.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Check no more booty cheeks. Maybe a little bit more,
just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Stories.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
We are following for you today, President Biden. President elect Trump,
showing a unified front today in the Oval Office, too,
met at the White House. Both spoke of a peaceful
transition of power. Shook hands. Biden said he'll make sure
Trump gets what he needs. Trump says politics is tough,
but it will be a peaceful transition. You're still reeling
(19:06):
from your latest discovery into a different lane of country music.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
It's just a genre. It's a genre bending. Can I
say that it's a genre bending version of country music?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
And bouncing off my booty cheeks refers to a cowboy
riding a horse.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
No, no, it does not, sir, Nope.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Check the discography, check the other well, in fact.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Never mind, do not check the other lyrics.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
As I said to you in the break, I'm glad
you cut that song off when you did, because the
next line.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Clearly says it's not a horse.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
It is not a horse. There was no horse.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
In any portion of that. There was no horse.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team are planning to
go to Mexico. They will resign before Trump takes office.
According to multiple reports, it's from the obvious desk.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Layoffs have been a common theme in people's lives. Recently,
CNN is the latest to say that they will probably
be cutting one hundred persons and some of their very
high paid staff after their dismal elections ratings.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
NASA's JPL says that they.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Are going to lay off about three hundred and twenty
five people, about five percent of their workforce. JPL's dealing
with budget cuts technical challenges that have roiled their MARS
sample return program. This workforce reduction comes in the wake
of an already eight percent layoff that they had back
in February.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
LA unified students will be banned from using their cell
phones and social media during the school day starting February
of next year.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
This is excellent news.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Students may not use cell phones, smart watches, earbuds on
campus during school hours. The devices must be turned off
and stored. They can use them before and after school,
and they will have access to their phones in case
of an emergency. There are some exceptions students with disabilities
at translation health based needs, and I'm wondering how flimsy.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
These exceptions are.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
If there is a room for fraud so to speak,
when it comes to parents making, you know, exceptions for
their kids using phony excuses.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
But is it the parents that would do it, or
is it.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It would be parents that are manipulated by their children
into doing it.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Yeah, probably students with disabilities who might use a cell
phone or other tech as part of an IEP or
a five or four plan, they'll also not lose access
to their devices.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
But then I almost think.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
That if you do have those if you are one
of those kids that does fit one of those exceptions,
do you then become a target for bullying?
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I don't know, aren't you already?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Kids these days, they're not I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Think they bully kids that are different the way they
did when we were kids.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I think it's a new world.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Everybody's celebrated and nobody's bullying exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
There will also be the parents who have the attitude
of the school system is not going to tell me
and my kid what my kid can do and listen.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
I'm all for parental autonomy when it comes to stuff
like that, but you are being moron if you think
that having your kid's phone next to their face all
day is a good thing for them.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
This is not the hill to die on.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
If you want control over your you want the school
to have no control over your kid.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Yeah, they said that The expectation is that would students
come back from President's Day weekend in February, these new
policies will be in place at every school. They've they've
had to push it back a bit simply because they
want to make sure that this program is deployable to
all of the different campuses. And then, of course, one
(22:48):
of the criticisms that we've heard from parents is what
happens in the event of an emergency. How does a
kid get in touch with their parents or you know,
when the off chance they need to call nine to
one to one for some reason, How would that happen.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It sounds like the phones need to be turned off
and stored in their bag or what have you. They're
not saying it has to be in the locker in case,
you know, there's a shooter in the classroom or whatever
and they're hunkered down and want to call their parents.
It sounds like they can keep it on their person,
they just can't take it out.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
The Chief of School Operations, Andre chait.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Shay, I'm not sure how to pronounce that, and I apologize.
Overseas school safety, among other responsibilities, says there isn't really
a formal definition of what an emergency is. What constitutes
an emergency that would allow the kids to use their phones,
and he said, when all else fails, we simply apply
common sense, like if you have to leave campus because
of something earthquake, five, whatever, that might constitute a time
(23:48):
when staff members let students have their phones to text families.
But they said, a lockdown in and of itself is
not necessarily an emergency because, I mean, we've reported on
multiple lockdowns that turn out to be nothing.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The vast majority of them turn out to be nothing.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
So the school is going to have to determine on
a case by case basis when it rises to the
level of an emergency.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
To allow kids to have access to their phones.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
So and then, yes, you you can have say in
your school's plan, but make sure that you contact the
right people and not just bitch about it to your friends.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
You said a bad word on the radio just now, honey.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
There have been so much that's already been said in
the first forty two minutes of this show that I
feel okay with saying that you're swearing.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You're calling me, honey, I'm worried, very worried you love
stuffed animals. There's a couple of things that you love
in this world, that's true. Stuffed animals is one of them.
K pop is another. Both of those things are warnings
the literature about women. To me, what does that mean
literature women? But anyway, they are saying that stuffed animals
(25:00):
have become a wrecking ball in the fashion industry.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
We'll explain this when we come back.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And today was the day. If if you're here with us,
it is a momentous day. It is a day that
we added to the booty song catalog on the Gary
and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
That's not going to be on the play it is.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
It is put it on the special thing. I'm gonna
put it on the secret panel that we never play.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Come on, it's a catchy little tia, It really is,
Gary Amy, if you knew the lyrics of the other
songs that this guy, no, are they bad?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Amy?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I is that a dumb question? I have never can't
stop looking at them, though.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Have I ever seen lyrics like that? Have you ever
seen lyrics like that?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I mean some of the females have come close to that.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Oh you mean hot girl rap song Summer that that stuff. Yes,
some of that stuff is pretty uh, and this guy's
just breaking new ground. I guess it's creative writing.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
How I've questions. I have so many questions.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
About I mean, this is like eight hundred number stuff, right,
eight hundred numbers?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Well, isn't this what you used to call eight hundred
numbers to hear nine numbers?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Oh yes, I don't know six numbers?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, oh yeah, ninety seven six hot ass or something.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Excuse me, let's go to break good idea.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Big Story Today, Trump says Elon Musk and former Republican
presidential candidate Vivek Ramashwami will lead a new Department of
Government Efficiency. Despite the name, the new organization will not
be a government agency. It's going to be an outside
group that offers the White House advice on how to
drive large scale structural reform, create an entrepreneurial approach to government.
(26:55):
They want to shock government systems. The acronym is DO,
which is a nod to Musk's favorite cryptocurrency, which is
surging in value since Trump won the election.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
Speaking of the election, I saw this today a poll
from the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies is asking people,
what if Kamala Harris runs for governor.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
That's not going to happen. There's no way that's not
going to happen. You're not going to hear from her again, Nearly.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Half of voters would be very or somewhat likely to
support her. Now she would have stronger support overall from Democrats.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Duh, nearly a two to one voter registration advantage.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I thought Via Ragosa in here every day and pimp
ym for governor before I okayed that.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
You make a point. I don't know what.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
I don't know what she feels about her chances for
political office in the future.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
She didn't win a county.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
She didn't win well, she didn't win a state. Remember
they said that that was of the states. But she
didn't win any swing states. She didn't overperform Biden in
any state.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
The thing is.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Beyond that, she didn't even make it into the actual
primaries when she was running for president against Biden and others.
But but she didn't even get she didn't win any electorates.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
We might we might get a lot of entertainment out
of that on the show.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Possibly Quick Sad Story. Actor Dave Coolier has announced that
he has cancer. Yeah from Full House. Uncle Joey said
he was diagnosed with stage stree non Hodgkin lymphoma five
weeks ago. Shared that he had been undergoing treatment for
what is this aggressive blood cancer, including three surgeries and chemo.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
So just to you know, the more.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I think about the Kamala hair that is very sad,
the more I think about the Kamala Harris thing, I
think that that's a possibility.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
I think it's a real possibility.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I think California would embrace giving her a soft landing spot,
being the bluest, biggest state in the country, the woman
who fought against Trump, and maybe the country did not agree,
but in California, she's our girl.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
And well, if nothing else, she's got the name recognition.
Via ra Gosa has the second highest name recognition of
anybody who's already said that they're running for running for governor,
and that includes people who are currently next to the governor.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I mean the lieutenant governor.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Landy coun Ilachus is going to be running, Tony Thurman
is going to be People don't know who those people are.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Ye, Look, Brooks and Dunn are on the Today Show.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
I wonder if they're singing about booty. We're going to
be sued by Brooks and Dun's people momentarily just for
playing that. I was saying Brooks and it was not
but in the same breath as Brooks and done.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Okay, so I've got a wig.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Question questions. There is a fashion designer. His name is
Chad Nasm and he is getting quite the following in
the online fashion world because of a bizarre design he's
come up with. He's twenty two, He's from Virginia, and
he has taken perfectly good wearable pants and sewn at
(30:26):
least two hundred stuffed animals onto the legs.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
He says, in fashion, a lot of things are boring.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
I'm able to kind of do what I want and
be ab a wrecking ball in the industry. How much
will they cost you? Six hundred and fifty dollars. They're
like beanie baby pants. They weigh five pounds.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
They're hands sewn by a team of sewers, including Chad's
seventy nine year old grandmother.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Poor woman, that poor woman, don't.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Worry that the stuffed animals are only on the front,
so you can sit your moody down without sitting on
stuffed animals.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
The juge zoo could serve as a cushion if you
happen to take a fall forward.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
He claims, you could jump on your knees and you
would not feel anything.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
As many as with many bizarre fashion trends, they say
celebrities are getting involved.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Oh you know Bam Bam, the K pop rapper. It's
one of your favorites, right, Bam Bam. No.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
I also don't know Ariyah Alberta Hargate. You know Dk Metcalf.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I do know Dk Metcalf.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
He wore the pants on Game Day, which got a
lot of people talking.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Man, all it takes is.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
One person to wear something stupid and for other people
to think it's the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Yes, that is the world of fashion in a nutshell.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
After seeing this guy needs to be It's like your
sweater today.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
You saw somebody wearing that and instantly you had to
have it. No, and it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
What at least I'm not wearing a sweatshirt from the
late eighties.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
I am wearing a sweatshirt from the Ladies.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Your your sweatshirt, says Espree. I know I haven't seen
something with a Spree on it.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I was just kidding about your sweater, and no's inocuous,
like you're not.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
It's a great sweater. Kidding Stop now are you trying?
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Now you're you're over correcting, You're going too far.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
You gotta drive, you gotta steer into the skid and
you have completely jacked the car around. After seeing the
football player Dk Metcalf wear the plush pants, a thirty
five year old entrepreneur in Toronto bought the pants and
wore them courtside to a Toronto Raptors game.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
It's the Canadians that is what we have to blame.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
He said.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
I probably got stopped for eight or nine pictures. I'm
never going to stop another man and ask him if
I may take pictures of his pants.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
You don't know that, yep.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I mean the day is very, very young.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
