Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Happy birthday, Shannon. You may be a little older, but
you are still fine. Oh and very funny. Oh okay,
thank you birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
A bunch of stories that we are following today. Now,
it looks like Hakeem Jeffries is in his eighth hour
of his speech to try to delay the House vote
on that big megabill that President Trump has been advancing,
his big beautiful viill a bill, I should say the
second overnight session for Congress in just a few days.
The Senate did it the other day, the House doing
(00:43):
it today. Before the House can take a final vote,
he's been given what is called a magic minute. It's
sort of an a privilege that's given to party leadership
within the House that they can take a magic minute
for anything they want to talk about. In this case,
it can go as long as they want. So again,
(01:03):
he has taken that magic minute to now more than
eight hours of basically just delaying this thing. It's not
gonna it doesn't prevent anything from happening, just delays it all.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
What are you writing, I'm typing a very important No,
I can hear you typing. Well, it's just work. Is
it a work thing?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
It is, it's it's Chargers related because it's the season now.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
No, well, the first games this month in July, isn't
it literally July thirty first? Yes, not wild, I mean
that's almost too much for me. Yes, that's good.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Braves beat the Angels eight to three yesterday, four to fifteen,
first pick. Tonight, the Dodgers came back to beat the
White Sox five to four as Clayton Kersha got his
three thousandth strikeout.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, I don't mean, we don't fat shame on this show.
We love all sizes of humans or animals or whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
But what is Clayton Kershaw eating. It's just so he's
not twenty years old anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And I think that's exactly it, because I saw him
so much, like I used to go to Dodger games
religiously before it was like five hundred dollars per game
to go when he you know, and so I'm used
to seeing him as like twenty twenty two, twenty four,
and now he's just like a grown person, and he's
like grown into his into his body, his daddy.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
He's a big man. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, he's got four I think four kids, right, Yeah,
Well he didn't birth them. So you're saying that women
are the ones who should gain weight after they give birth.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
They can. There's a reason why.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Well there's also a reason why it's harder for him
to keep the pounds off. It's a constant fight.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
He's an athlete. Maybe he does his workout pictures. No,
that's not what they do. Oh really, I have no idea.
No what do they do? They just sit there and
eat meow someone's feeling her ot. Honestly, what do they say?
Just work on like well, I'm not saying they don't
(03:19):
work out.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Some pictures have ridiculous workout regimen, but regimens, but in
this case, it doesn't show if he does.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
But he's also been injured.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
He's had some severe injuries that have probably made that
difficult to do so, and there may be some limitations
on what he can do workout wise, strength training and
all that simply because of surgeries that he's had.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I mean, it looks like a C. C. Sabbathia though.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Okay, big wildfire that's burning up in San Luis Obispo
County is now California's largest fire this year. It's called
the Madre Fire, burning between the central coast and the
Central Valley. They all at the Los Padres National Forest.
There isn't a whole lot of forest in that area.
(04:04):
It's right along Highway one sixty six. If you've ever
gone over the Grapevine and then cut across to the coast,
you come out at Santa Maria, So you go in
at Kuyama and then you come out at Santa Maria.
It's right along there. One hundred and ninety people under
evacuation orders according to a couple of different sources. And
(04:25):
this thing went from starting at one o'clock yesterday afternoon
to thirty five thousand acres as of this morning. Pretty
incredible considering the it's not deep into the fire season
just yet. I mean, granted, we've had some warm times
and that specific part of the state can be very
(04:49):
very dry. But the smoke, if you didn't see it
last night, pay attention this evening because it was very
very thick last night. Looking out the west, you could
see a lot of that smoke. The other big story
in terms of fires was more about the explosion that
took place Tuesday night at a fireworks warehouse up near Esparto,
(05:14):
up in Yolo County. Just about six o'clock on Tuesday night,
this something happened, obviously massive explosion. They said, the large
debris field that exists now includes very large pieces of
shrapnel and it was too dangerous for a lot of
people to go in. So as of right now, they
say they're missing seven people, and because they can't get
(05:39):
firefighters and rescue crews into the specific area where it
happened until they can guarantee that it's safe for them,
they're going to be searching through with drones to try
to try to find those people.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So there could they could still be alive. I don't
know about that, but I guess are you going to
go see fireworks tomorrow? Today?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So the first time in a long time, they're actually
doing fireworks at our local park. They hadn't done it
for a long time because of COVID, which made zero
effing sense. Nobody understands why coronavirus was going to spread
because of fireworks or something, but they were also having
budget problems. So now apparently they have figured it out
(06:21):
and we'll have some fireworks.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
For the first time, watching that Italian man last night
whose name I'm besash Manuscalco, for the first time I
was able to laugh at a COVID joke. I haven't
found it in my heart to make light of that mess.
But last night, listening to his jokes about the people
who are like you know, mask people, I was laughing hysterically,
(06:47):
and it felt good to be able to laugh at that. Finally,
five years after the fact. Well, I guess it wasn't
five years. We're still living with the after effects. Probably
is close as a couple of years ago now. But
now I'm I'm finally able to laugh at the mask people.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I see.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I'm pretty sure i've seen that special too. I may
have seen it a couple of months ago. I'd have
to go back and double check and make sure, because
I've seen a couple of us. Listen, those are what
a great way to spend an hour stand up comedy's
never been better, I think, and it's just yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
A great way.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I'm looking forward to it. I'm gonna do it on
the airplane, so there you go. That'll be fun.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Happy birthday, Shannon, you are my spirit animal, and you
always say exactly what I am thinking. And I just
love you to pieces and I hope you have a
great day and just behave yourself and don't do anything
silly to get yourself suspended again, or just be your
(07:45):
badass self. You know, choices yours really happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
You, that's free.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
The other people think like me, They just keep it
hidden and they don't often have a microphone in front
of their face.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I soon, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
A federal lawsuit has been filed that says that masked
unidentified people have been systematically cornering brown people throughout southern California.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I'm talking about how they say that these raids are
in violation of the constitution. Will check out its legal
legs when we return.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Have you heard about George slash Jorge? I don't know
what he goes by the turtle. No you don't. You're
not familiar with George slash Jorge. No, he is a
celebrity turtle Gary okay, who has lived in captivity for
one go on?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Is he they think he's like one hundred and fifty
years old or something we don't measure age. No no, no, no, no,
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, especially on today
of old days.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But judge it by spirit and heart.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And this sea turtle is finally swimming home after forty
one years in captivity. What's the first thing this sea
turtle is going to do? That's the question on my mind.
We're going to talk about it, and we're also going
to talk about a classic childhood pastime, which is fading.
I heard Neil talking about it this morning and for
handle and there's been something that's bothering me and I
(09:24):
kept forgetting to bring it up to you. And it's
it's a it's an A. There's a podcast I listen to.
It's called Betrayal. It's it's dateline esque, pretty good, I
must say. I think it's an iHeartRadio podcast. Anyway, there's
an ad that plays on this podcast over and over again,
and it's it's awful.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It's it makes my blood boil.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It's this female and she's like, aren't you tired of
teaching your kid how to ride a bike?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Are new?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
And I and then I just fast forward it like
it's some sort of product or bike I think it's
a bike that makes it easier for your kid how to.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Learn how to ride a bike.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I'm like, holy hell, Like that makes me so mad,
and I'm not a parent, but like, that is such
a great milestone for a child to learn how to
ride a bike without the training wheels, Like I can
remember that like it was yesterday, the feeling for the
first time, the feeling of accomplishment that you have done
something that was hard to do, that you succeeded, Like
(10:24):
that's one of those first things when you're five or whatever.
And the fact that there's a bike now to make
it easier that makes me very angry. And that they're
selling it at the number of ads they've sold to
sell this to people drives me crazy. And furthermore, what
parent it is tired of teaching their kid.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
To ride the bike.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I was just going to say, just as much as
it is to ride a passage for you as a kid.
I remember both of my kids doing the thing where
you're hold on to the back of the seat and
you're running alongside them, and then you let go without
them knowing you let go, and then they look, they
turn to look and see if you're still there, and crash.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Right or exactly the bike.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I still remember looking back, like with the train wheels
off and I'm actually riding the bike, and she was
so happy, like my kid did something, you know, and
it's like, that's such a great moment. Why would you
want to water that down or ruin it or make
it easier?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Stupid people are lazy.
Speaker 3 (11:22):

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
A lawsuit has been filed by immigrants rights groups against
the federal government, saying that southern California is under siege
by agents some dressed in military style clothing. They've been
carrying out quote, indiscriminate immigration raids, flooding street corners, bus stops,
parking lots, agricultural sites, day laborer corners. This lawsuit tries
(12:20):
to block the administration's ongoing pattern of sorry, pattern and
practice of flouting the constitution and federal law during the
immigration enforcement operations that we've seen throughout here in LA.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
The lawsuit also tries to get access to council for
those arrested who are now being held in these dungeon
like facilities. It writes where conditions are deplorable and unconstitutional
as well, so the arrests unconstitutional and the detainment unconstitutional.
The place is where they're detained unconstitutional. It argues that
(12:54):
LA that the raids in LA prior to prioritize just numbers,
pure numbers, as according as opposed to crimes and specific people.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
There are.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Instances that are being talked about many times. This article
in the La Times refers to one of them. Jorge Veramantes,
one of two US citizens who was named in this lawsuit,
who says that they He's one of two people who
said that they were originally detained by immigration agents and
then released. He was working at a car wash, same
(13:34):
places worked for about a decade. The agents who didn't
identify themselves showed up and started interrogating people about their
ID and their immigration status, and he said, Jorge says
he's a dual citizen of the US in Mexico and
provided an ID that.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
He thought would be enough.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Agents said the ID is not enough and since he
didn't have a passport to prove he was an American citizen,
they were going to take him.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Away, put him in a vehicle, drove away.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
They clarified a citizenship and brought him back about twenty
minutes later, but not before his brother had called his
wife who thought she was.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Never going to see her husband again or something like that.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
So they dropped him at the car wash, and they
said shortly after he was dropped off, they showed up
back at the car wash and others. He and others
are now afraid that their Latino appearance and even their
accent could make them future targets.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
This type of claim has been successful in the past.
Federal officials made a similar case about similar raids up
in Kern County in January. The ACLU challenged the raids
in court, and a federal judge at that time found
that they likely violated the raids did the Constitution's ban
on unreasonable searches, and that judge issued a preliminary injunction
(14:52):
banning those raids there in Kern County in the Central Valley.
So it's basically the same argument about the LA raids.
Mark rosenboom Bam excuse me of public counsel says, this
is not hard stuff. You don't have to be a
constitutional scholar. Every student in elementary school learns the basic rules.
You can't stop individuals on the street because of the
(15:14):
color of their skin.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
The pushback from Department of Homeland Security has in a statement,
they said any claims that individuals been targeted by law
enforcement because of their skin color are disgusting and categorically false.
DHS enforcement operations are highly targeted and officers do their
due diligence. She also, the spokesperson for DHS said any
(15:37):
claims of poor conditions that the detention centers are false,
and that said that Department of Homeland Security and Immigration
and Customs Enforcement has higher detention standards than most US
prisons that hold actual US citizens. The detainees are provided
with meals and medical treatment, and have opportunities to communicate
with lawyers and their family members.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
All right, still head, it looks like we may have
a new tool to keep Hollywood production in Hollywood. Also,
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are livid about what celebrity
one celebrity had to say about their ridiculously priced a wedding.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
We'll talk about that as well.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Of all the Shannon's I've ever known in my life, Shannon,
you're by far the best for funny. You're ready and
I love listening to you. Guys, have a very wonderful day.
Happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's very nice. That's very sweet. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
There's some cloud that you're weeding out, the ones that
say I'm a monster and I should jump off the roof.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I will say I won't play it.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
But there was one that said that they wish that
you had taken today off as well, so we didn't
have to hear as much genital talk as we've already heard.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Oh, is that the one who calls in about genitals
every day?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Though? No, this was a new guy. Oh, a fresh one,
fresh genitals. He hates genitals. Why I apologize.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I won't talk about genitals for at least a half
an hour.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
We have some controversy to sift through. I don't know
exactly what prompted this, but there is something happening with Conway,
who is also not on the air today.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Oh yeah, Hey.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Gary, Hey Shannon, Gary, real quick during your swim days,
I know you guys have to take showers. Did you
shower with your speedo on? We did in Waterpolo? I'm
just curious.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Also, the Ding Dong guy says that you guys are
both liberal, liberal Democrats. Last night. I couldn't believe it.
I thought you guys were real conservative, but no, I
believe Conway. He said, you guys are are are liberals.
I can't believe it.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Wow, have you ever talked politics with Conway?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
You know, most conversations I've had with Conway, I don't
member because usually they're at the track or at Marongo.
And I've had seventeen cocktails, so I don't think we've
ever waited into politics. I know he listens to our
show every day, and some people take some people do
feel that we are liberal Democrats, and then some feel
(18:22):
that we are right wing maga people as well.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So I don't really know where to go with that.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I don't either, But apparently there was another caller that
suggested that he was reading a list of somebody accused
Conway of being too conservative and only having conservative guests on.
So Conway went through and read a list of people
that he's had on that would be arguably not politically conservative,
and then talked about other hosts I guess, and said, basically,
(18:50):
everybody on this station is a liberal Democrat.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Really.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Now again, I'd love Conway and I've heard his show
thousands of times.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
He doesn't joke around, does it, Parry.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
He's never facetious, he's never sarcastic, and he will not
make a joke.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Dead serious, very serious. He is a straight man. He
is a straight man.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
So Gavin Newsome pledged to more than double the annual
amount of funds allocated to keeping Hollywood in Hollywood, California's
Film and Television tax credit program, and he said the
state needed to do something, make a statement, do something
that was meaningful from stopping production from leaving us and
(19:39):
going to other states and countries, even now he assigned
a bill that would increase the cap on California's film
and TV tax credit program to seven hundred and fifty million.
That's up from three thirty So that is a significant jump.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Now this may be I mean it is a significant
it's more than double. But this may be a little
bit too little, too late. And the irony of it
is he has been a member of the party that's
been in power in the state of California for thirty years.
And the idea that suggests that he's now going to
(20:20):
fix a problem that started under his watch or under
their watch, whatever you however you want to put it
is is almost it's ironic to me because you think
about the conditions that made the one two three punch
perhaps that in the last five years just crippled the
movie and TV industry. You had one strike by the writers,
(20:44):
you had one strike by the actors. You had other
strikes by by h would you call auxiliary workers the
IATZI strike. Then you had COVID and the restrictions that
were placed on studio we're more onerous than many of
the other restrictions for other businesses. So the idea that
(21:07):
you're going to come swoop in with a brilliant idea
of a seven hundred and fifty million dollars tax credit
program listen, which I support. By the way, it just
feels like it's a little bit disingenuous about why it
is that it's happening.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
He says.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
The world we invented is now competing against us. Hold
on a second. You consistently make it hard to do
business in the state of California, and even if it
is a business that's born.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
You're such a liberal, I know, liberal dem If you
could just contain your liberalism, I will it would be great.
At some point I will. Oh, it looks like it's over.
Looks like it's over.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Everybody's congratulating Hakeem Jeffries. Now there was see the magic minute.
They're literally waving hankies at stop. I know they are
waving hankies at Hakim Jeffries right now in the floor
of the house where he has just You.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Just love that, don't you, you bleeding heart. You're hanky
out as well.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
There it is.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
You did it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
You did it.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
You did it.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
You can hear Maxine Waters there close to the microphone.
You did it.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I'm the best visual of you standing up right now
with a hanky waving it and.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Shaking your head. Just tears in my eyes a little bit. Okay, okay, Oh,
get in there, Gary, I came a came, came, No.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
One tell conwaywayyay.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
So he went for almost nine hours on this thing,
and again Hakeem Jeffries, as the House Minority Leader, one
of the leaders for the Democratic Party in the House,
go damns.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Uh. He has.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
He has a privilege of taking what they referred to
as a mad minute, which is he could talk about
whatever he wants before a bill is voted upon. So
about two thirty in the morning our time, the House
had cleared out all of the other hurdles and was
ready to vote on that one big, beautiful bill. But
(23:15):
then Hakeem Jeffries comes in and says, well, I'm going
to delay this as long as possible.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And that's all he did.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
He didn't change anybody's mind, he didn't change anybody's vote,
He didn't change anything about this other than the time
stamp that's going to go on the House passing this
thing and sending it on to the president.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Michael Madsen has died sixty seven years old. Yeah, kill
Bill reservoir dogs. Donny Brasco, among others, found unresponsive this
morning in his home in Malibu, say natural causes. Michael
Madsen dead at sixty seven. Too young, way too young.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, he had a series of
some some demons.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Demons. So did he think so? But we'll check into that.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I don't want to say it if he didn't, because
then I look like a complete ass. But so, just
a quick wrap up on the whole seven hundred and
fifty million dollar tax credit from the state of California.
It doesn't go as far as some of the other
states that offer tax credits and tax breaks other kinds
of tax breaks. Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, New Mexico now
(24:26):
is getting into the game. And then of course in
Canada you've got British Columbia. All of those places have
really really attractive tax incentives for companies to go there
and make those make other movies and TV shows in
those other places. California we clearly have the roots of
the movie system and television system here, but these other
(24:48):
places are building up very very quick and have become
very popular. So the hope is at least on the
governor's mind. The hope is that there would be a
federal film and TV tax incentive as well. That came
up after President Trump had threatened to put tariffs on
(25:09):
films that are produced TV and movies that are produced overseas.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You are correct, Michael madsen Well publicized struggles with alcohol
substance abuse, multiple arrests for dui, court ordered rehab, these
kinds of things he's spoken about. He had spoken about
his addiction and impact on his life.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
All right, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez pretty mad, pretty bad.
Shouldn't they be on their honeymoon with their in laws
or something like that? They should be playing attention to headlines.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Shouldn't they be on their honeymoon with Sydney Sweeney and
Tom Brady?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Exactly ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Happy Birthday, Auntie Shannon, birthday.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Triplet, We love you, and yeah, keep your weird curiosities
to yourself.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Lady, you're not invited on a the honeymoon.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Wow, I told you they were listening, all right, So
speaker Johnson is just hours away from sending Trump, his
big beautiful Bill, Hakeem Jeffries, I believe broke the record
on the House floor for his unlimited speaking time that
he used to delay the passage. It's like one of
(26:25):
those records that you see athletes break when the team
is having a miserable season. You want to get excited
for the record, but you're like, eh, for what kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It's like, yeah, it's a personal record, but they can't
get that excited because the team is not doing well.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Yeah, and again it didn't do anything it right, I mean,
Hakim Jeffries got his name said many times today the
same way that Corey Booker did back in April when
he broke the record over in the Senate, but it
didn't do anything to change the outcome of the legislation.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Well, the fallout continues about this Jeff Bezos Lauren Sanchez
monster of a wedding in the island off Venice where
it was an a list star studded event. Everybody saw
the stars being ferried via gondola to the island and
the fashions alone, My gosh, the fashions. It was like
(27:23):
the met Ball. But anyway, some comments started rolling in
from celebrities which were I think getting more attention than
even all of the pictures and the hype around the wedding.
Katie Kirk was one of the first, and it was
shocking because I did not I look at I bought
whatever Katie Kirk was selling all those years about the
(27:44):
girl next door, the smart girl next door. I liked
getting my morning news from Katie Kirk, my MoMA doors
Katie Kirk.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I didn't know that she had a little mean girl
in her.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
She was one of the first to comment on Instagram
is where I saw it. On one of the pictures
of the wedding that another celebrity had posted. Katie Kurk wrote,
welcome to the eighties, when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled.
Apparently tacky is back.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Ah. I was floored.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
It's like, it's one thing to think it, it's another
thing to say it to your friends, and it's another
level to post it publicly for the world to see
your caddie comment.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
But it's also one of those things that which is
surprising for me to see it come from Katie Kirk.
She's been in the public eye and has probably taken
plenty of shots herself for things that have gone on
in her life or things that she's worn, her appearance
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That's part of it. It was like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, I mean we I be honest, we take shots
at people like this who are in the public eye
because they're in the public eye, and there is an expectation,
especially if you're gonna if you're gonna have a fifty
million dollar wedding, take ten million, and it's going to
be public, and you're going to include paparazzi, and you're
(29:06):
going to make it a big deal, and you're going
to invite people you don't even know simply because they're famous.
Then you should understand you're going to get some shots
taken at you, and you should calm the f down
and stop taking it so personally, there was another one.
Celebrity reporter Rob Shooter said that Jeff Bezos was fuming
(29:29):
when he figured out or learned what Charlie's theron had
said about the wedding, and that Lauren Sanchez had to
be talked down from firing off against Charlie's thearn on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah, Charlie's Sarron said, I think we may be the
only people who did not get an invite to the
Bezos wedding. She was hosting an outreach project for her foundation,
the Charlie's They're On Africa Outreach Project. So she told
the crowd, I think we may be the only people
who did not get an in bye to the Bezos wedding,
And then she went on to say, but that's okay
(30:03):
because they suck and were cool.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
She the greater picture was she said that it's a
tone deaf event. You know, well, well, so many people
are in crisis across the globe.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
That it's tone deaf to spend this much money on
a wedding, which is true.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
It's true if you have the kind of money to
make a difference, like Jeff Bezos does. It looks bad
when you spend this kind of money on a me
me me event.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
That's just it's just gratuitous. It's it's gratuitous.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It would be gratuitous if it was a million dollars,
but the estimates at fifty million.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Now you just look gross. You look gross.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Rosie O'Donnell's name has not been spoken in this show
for the last several years, but she was also another
celebrity who went after them, saying the Bezos wedding turned
my stomach seeing all those billionaires gather in the gross
excess of it all is Oprah friends with Jeff? Really,
how is that possible? And his fake fembot wife who
looks like that, well, just because she doesn't look like
(31:10):
a Sherman tank wearing a man's suit like Rosie o'donald does.
The salt of the earth Mackenzie that reference to Mackenzie Bezos,
Jeff Bezos' first wife sold his soul. Is what it
looks like from here. The devil is smiling at all
his conquests.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Okay, that's a little bit much.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You know, you Indian Conway should probably know this. Every
morning when we do our meeting before the show, you continually,
I mean it's.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Pretty much like three out of five days.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Of the week you come to the meaning like, can
we please talk about Rosie o'donald today, Yeah, one.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Of you guys always shoot it down.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
We do, we do, And I want to talk about
the great cameo that she did in Hacks Boy, that
was riveting. Really, the whole like the whole thing that
you really celebrate as a liberal Democrat is the view
as well.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
You constantly try to get us to play.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Soundbites from the View and Kean and are like, I
don't know if people want to hear that.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I don't know. I have them every single day.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Well, because you listen to the previous show on the
way to work in your car, the show from the
day before, so you're all by the time you get in,
you're like all fired up, full of the view excitement,
and we have to just kind of tamp it down
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Tamp it down? Is that what you want me to do?
But now that you've been asked, is that what.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Great Americans do is they tamp it down. That's what
they do. So somebody like me who has strong feelings
right and is constantly told stop having feelings, it's time
to tamp it down. Son, That's what I should do.
Is I should just turn turn the other cheek when
I am so motivated to talk about people like Whoopi
(33:01):
Goldberg or Rosie O'Donnell or any other people who have
made bad movies with Ted Danson.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
That's what I'm supposed to do. Just ignore it, just
move on, just somehow pretend.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
That these two muses of mine are not us statues
of their own liberty. If you will, come on, have
named for me two greater women who have proven that
men's wardrobe pieces belong on woman.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
You can't, you cannot name two people. Diane Keaton. Don't
you dare you stay on? You stay away from Diane Keaton.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
You stay away from Diane Keaton, she and Mia Farrow together.
Could you imagine the brain power that those two would
run together.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I can't imagine.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
And they're big, clumpy shoes, and they're big dumb felt hats.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah, the hat covering their stringy hair, and the.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Browser's the trousers, yes, and the constant they're constantly kerfuffled
all the time.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
They're just they're just like you, just like you, just
like me. And do you know why I am that way?
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Because I was because I was told to tamp it down.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
How dare I make you feel small? Don't you make
me feel small? You take up all the space you met.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
I feel big, I feel see, I feel heard because
I didn't tamp it down.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
America didn't tamp it down.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
No, Nay.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Two d and forty nine years ago, did we tamp
it down?
Speaker 5 (34:39):
No?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
We started McDonald's and fireworks and that's America?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Is that a bikini on your starting block? Bikini? I
wear what I want to wear. We'll do us swamp flash.
Maybe come back to Gary and Jack. You've been like
listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
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 ap
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):
Happy birthday, Shannon. You may be a little older, but
you are still fine. Oh and very funny. Oh okay,
thank you birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
A bunch of stories that we are following today. Now,
it looks like Hakeem Jeffries is in his eighth hour
of his speech to try to delay the House vote
on that big megabill that President Trump has been advancing,
his big beautiful viill a bill, I should say the
second overnight session for Congress in just a few days.
The Senate did it the other day, the House doing
(00:43):
it today. Before the House can take a final vote,
he's been given what is called a magic minute. It's
sort of an a privilege that's given to party leadership
within the House that they can take a magic minute
for anything they want to talk about. In this case,
it can go as long as they want. So again,
(01:03):
he has taken that magic minute to now more than
eight hours of basically just delaying this thing. It's not
gonna it doesn't prevent anything from happening, just delays it all.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
What are you writing, I'm typing a very important No,
I can hear you typing. Well, it's just work. Is
it a work thing?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
It is, it's it's Chargers related because it's the season now.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
No, well, the first games this month in July, isn't
it literally July thirty first? Yes, not wild, I mean
that's almost too much for me. Yes, that's good.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Braves beat the Angels eight to three yesterday, four to fifteen,
first pick. Tonight, the Dodgers came back to beat the
White Sox five to four as Clayton Kersha got his
three thousandth strikeout.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, I don't mean, we don't fat shame on this show.
We love all sizes of humans or animals or whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
But what is Clayton Kershaw eating. It's just so he's
not twenty years old anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And I think that's exactly it, because I saw him
so much, like I used to go to Dodger games
religiously before it was like five hundred dollars per game
to go when he you know, and so I'm used
to seeing him as like twenty twenty two, twenty four,
and now he's just like a grown person, and he's
like grown into his into his body, his daddy.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
He's a big man. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, he's got four I think four kids, right, Yeah,
Well he didn't birth them. So you're saying that women
are the ones who should gain weight after they give birth.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
They can. There's a reason why.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Well there's also a reason why it's harder for him
to keep the pounds off. It's a constant fight.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
He's an athlete. Maybe he does his workout pictures. No,
that's not what they do. Oh really, I have no idea.
No what do they do? They just sit there and
eat meow someone's feeling her ot. Honestly, what do they say?
Just work on like well, I'm not saying they don't
(03:19):
work out.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Some pictures have ridiculous workout regimen, but regimens, but in
this case, it doesn't show if he does.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
But he's also been injured.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
He's had some severe injuries that have probably made that
difficult to do so, and there may be some limitations
on what he can do workout wise, strength training and
all that simply because of surgeries that he's had.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I mean, it looks like a C. C. Sabbathia though.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Okay, big wildfire that's burning up in San Luis Obispo
County is now California's largest fire this year. It's called
the Madre Fire, burning between the central coast and the
Central Valley. They all at the Los Padres National Forest.
There isn't a whole lot of forest in that area.
(04:04):
It's right along Highway one sixty six. If you've ever
gone over the Grapevine and then cut across to the coast,
you come out at Santa Maria, So you go in
at Kuyama and then you come out at Santa Maria.
It's right along there. One hundred and ninety people under
evacuation orders according to a couple of different sources. And
(04:25):
this thing went from starting at one o'clock yesterday afternoon
to thirty five thousand acres as of this morning. Pretty
incredible considering the it's not deep into the fire season
just yet. I mean, granted, we've had some warm times
and that specific part of the state can be very
(04:49):
very dry. But the smoke, if you didn't see it
last night, pay attention this evening because it was very
very thick last night. Looking out the west, you could
see a lot of that smoke. The other big story
in terms of fires was more about the explosion that
took place Tuesday night at a fireworks warehouse up near Esparto,
(05:14):
up in Yolo County. Just about six o'clock on Tuesday night,
this something happened, obviously massive explosion. They said, the large
debris field that exists now includes very large pieces of
shrapnel and it was too dangerous for a lot of
people to go in. So as of right now, they
say they're missing seven people, and because they can't get
(05:39):
firefighters and rescue crews into the specific area where it
happened until they can guarantee that it's safe for them,
they're going to be searching through with drones to try
to try to find those people.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So there could they could still be alive. I don't
know about that, but I guess are you going to
go see fireworks tomorrow? Today?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So the first time in a long time, they're actually
doing fireworks at our local park. They hadn't done it
for a long time because of COVID, which made zero
effing sense. Nobody understands why coronavirus was going to spread
because of fireworks or something, but they were also having
budget problems. So now apparently they have figured it out
(06:21):
and we'll have some fireworks.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
For the first time, watching that Italian man last night
whose name I'm besash Manuscalco, for the first time I
was able to laugh at a COVID joke. I haven't
found it in my heart to make light of that mess.
But last night, listening to his jokes about the people
who are like you know, mask people, I was laughing hysterically,
(06:47):
and it felt good to be able to laugh at that. Finally,
five years after the fact. Well, I guess it wasn't
five years. We're still living with the after effects. Probably
is close as a couple of years ago now. But
now I'm I'm finally able to laugh at the mask people.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I see.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I'm pretty sure i've seen that special too. I may
have seen it a couple of months ago. I'd have
to go back and double check and make sure, because
I've seen a couple of us. Listen, those are what
a great way to spend an hour stand up comedy's
never been better, I think, and it's just yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
A great way.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I'm looking forward to it. I'm gonna do it on
the airplane, so there you go. That'll be fun.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Happy birthday, Shannon, you are my spirit animal, and you
always say exactly what I am thinking. And I just
love you to pieces and I hope you have a
great day and just behave yourself and don't do anything
silly to get yourself suspended again, or just be your
(07:45):
badass self. You know, choices yours really happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
You, that's free.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
The other people think like me, They just keep it
hidden and they don't often have a microphone in front
of their face.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I soon, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
A federal lawsuit has been filed that says that masked
unidentified people have been systematically cornering brown people throughout southern California.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I'm talking about how they say that these raids are
in violation of the constitution. Will check out its legal
legs when we return.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Have you heard about George slash Jorge? I don't know
what he goes by the turtle. No you don't. You're
not familiar with George slash Jorge. No, he is a
celebrity turtle Gary okay, who has lived in captivity for
one go on?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Is he they think he's like one hundred and fifty
years old or something we don't measure age. No no, no, no, no,
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, especially on today
of old days.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But judge it by spirit and heart.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And this sea turtle is finally swimming home after forty
one years in captivity. What's the first thing this sea
turtle is going to do? That's the question on my mind.
We're going to talk about it, and we're also going
to talk about a classic childhood pastime, which is fading.
I heard Neil talking about it this morning and for
handle and there's been something that's bothering me and I
(09:24):
kept forgetting to bring it up to you. And it's
it's a it's an A. There's a podcast I listen to.
It's called Betrayal. It's it's dateline esque, pretty good, I
must say. I think it's an iHeartRadio podcast. Anyway, there's
an ad that plays on this podcast over and over again,
and it's it's awful.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It's it makes my blood boil.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It's this female and she's like, aren't you tired of
teaching your kid how to ride a bike?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Are new?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
And I and then I just fast forward it like
it's some sort of product or bike I think it's
a bike that makes it easier for your kid how to.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Learn how to ride a bike.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I'm like, holy hell, Like that makes me so mad,
and I'm not a parent, but like, that is such
a great milestone for a child to learn how to
ride a bike without the training wheels, Like I can
remember that like it was yesterday, the feeling for the
first time, the feeling of accomplishment that you have done
something that was hard to do, that you succeeded, Like
(10:24):
that's one of those first things when you're five or whatever.
And the fact that there's a bike now to make
it easier that makes me very angry. And that they're
selling it at the number of ads they've sold to
sell this to people drives me crazy. And furthermore, what
parent it is tired of teaching their kid.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
To ride the bike.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I was just going to say, just as much as
it is to ride a passage for you as a kid.
I remember both of my kids doing the thing where
you're hold on to the back of the seat and
you're running alongside them, and then you let go without
them knowing you let go, and then they look, they
turn to look and see if you're still there, and crash.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Right or exactly the bike.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I still remember looking back, like with the train wheels
off and I'm actually riding the bike, and she was
so happy, like my kid did something, you know, and
it's like, that's such a great moment. Why would you
want to water that down or ruin it or make
it easier?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Stupid people are lazy.
Speaker 3 (11:22):

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
A lawsuit has been filed by immigrants rights groups against
the federal government, saying that southern California is under siege
by agents some dressed in military style clothing. They've been
carrying out quote, indiscriminate immigration raids, flooding street corners, bus stops,
parking lots, agricultural sites, day laborer corners. This lawsuit tries
(12:20):
to block the administration's ongoing pattern of sorry, pattern and
practice of flouting the constitution and federal law during the
immigration enforcement operations that we've seen throughout here in LA.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
The lawsuit also tries to get access to council for
those arrested who are now being held in these dungeon
like facilities. It writes where conditions are deplorable and unconstitutional
as well, so the arrests unconstitutional and the detainment unconstitutional.
The place is where they're detained unconstitutional. It argues that
(12:54):
LA that the raids in LA prior to prioritize just numbers,
pure numbers, as according as opposed to crimes and specific people.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
There are.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Instances that are being talked about many times. This article
in the La Times refers to one of them. Jorge Veramantes,
one of two US citizens who was named in this lawsuit,
who says that they He's one of two people who
said that they were originally detained by immigration agents and
then released. He was working at a car wash, same
(13:34):
places worked for about a decade. The agents who didn't
identify themselves showed up and started interrogating people about their
ID and their immigration status, and he said, Jorge says
he's a dual citizen of the US in Mexico and
provided an ID that.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
He thought would be enough.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Agents said the ID is not enough and since he
didn't have a passport to prove he was an American citizen,
they were going to take him.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Away, put him in a vehicle, drove away.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
They clarified a citizenship and brought him back about twenty
minutes later, but not before his brother had called his
wife who thought she was.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Never going to see her husband again or something like that.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
So they dropped him at the car wash, and they
said shortly after he was dropped off, they showed up
back at the car wash and others. He and others
are now afraid that their Latino appearance and even their
accent could make them future targets.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
This type of claim has been successful in the past.
Federal officials made a similar case about similar raids up
in Kern County in January. The ACLU challenged the raids
in court, and a federal judge at that time found
that they likely violated the raids did the Constitution's ban
on unreasonable searches, and that judge issued a preliminary injunction
(14:52):
banning those raids there in Kern County in the Central Valley.
So it's basically the same argument about the LA raids.
Mark rosenboom Bam excuse me of public counsel says, this
is not hard stuff. You don't have to be a
constitutional scholar. Every student in elementary school learns the basic rules.
You can't stop individuals on the street because of the
(15:14):
color of their skin.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
The pushback from Department of Homeland Security has in a statement,
they said any claims that individuals been targeted by law
enforcement because of their skin color are disgusting and categorically false.
DHS enforcement operations are highly targeted and officers do their
due diligence. She also, the spokesperson for DHS said any
(15:37):
claims of poor conditions that the detention centers are false,
and that said that Department of Homeland Security and Immigration
and Customs Enforcement has higher detention standards than most US
prisons that hold actual US citizens. The detainees are provided
with meals and medical treatment, and have opportunities to communicate
with lawyers and their family members.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
All right, still head, it looks like we may have
a new tool to keep Hollywood production in Hollywood. Also,
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are livid about what celebrity
one celebrity had to say about their ridiculously priced a wedding.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
We'll talk about that as well.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Of all the Shannon's I've ever known in my life, Shannon,
you're by far the best for funny. You're ready and
I love listening to you. Guys, have a very wonderful day.
Happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's very nice. That's very sweet. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
There's some cloud that you're weeding out, the ones that
say I'm a monster and I should jump off the roof.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I will say I won't play it.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
But there was one that said that they wish that
you had taken today off as well, so we didn't
have to hear as much genital talk as we've already heard.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Oh, is that the one who calls in about genitals
every day?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Though? No, this was a new guy. Oh, a fresh one,
fresh genitals. He hates genitals. Why I apologize.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
I won't talk about genitals for at least a half
an hour.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
We have some controversy to sift through. I don't know
exactly what prompted this, but there is something happening with Conway,
who is also not on the air today.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Oh yeah, Hey.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Gary, Hey Shannon, Gary, real quick during your swim days,
I know you guys have to take showers. Did you
shower with your speedo on? We did in Waterpolo? I'm
just curious.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Also, the Ding Dong guy says that you guys are
both liberal, liberal Democrats. Last night. I couldn't believe it.
I thought you guys were real conservative, but no, I
believe Conway. He said, you guys are are are liberals.
I can't believe it.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Wow, have you ever talked politics with Conway?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
You know, most conversations I've had with Conway, I don't
member because usually they're at the track or at Marongo.
And I've had seventeen cocktails, so I don't think we've
ever waited into politics. I know he listens to our
show every day, and some people take some people do
feel that we are liberal Democrats, and then some feel
(18:22):
that we are right wing maga people as well.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So I don't really know where to go with that.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I don't either, But apparently there was another caller that
suggested that he was reading a list of somebody accused
Conway of being too conservative and only having conservative guests on.
So Conway went through and read a list of people
that he's had on that would be arguably not politically conservative,
and then talked about other hosts I guess, and said, basically,
(18:50):
everybody on this station is a liberal Democrat.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Really.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Now again, I'd love Conway and I've heard his show
thousands of times.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
He doesn't joke around, does it, Parry.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
He's never facetious, he's never sarcastic, and he will not
make a joke.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Dead serious, very serious. He is a straight man. He
is a straight man.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
So Gavin Newsome pledged to more than double the annual
amount of funds allocated to keeping Hollywood in Hollywood, California's
Film and Television tax credit program, and he said the
state needed to do something, make a statement, do something
that was meaningful from stopping production from leaving us and
(19:39):
going to other states and countries, even now he assigned
a bill that would increase the cap on California's film
and TV tax credit program to seven hundred and fifty million.
That's up from three thirty So that is a significant jump.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Now this may be I mean it is a significant
it's more than double. But this may be a little
bit too little, too late. And the irony of it
is he has been a member of the party that's
been in power in the state of California for thirty years.
And the idea that suggests that he's now going to
(20:20):
fix a problem that started under his watch or under
their watch, whatever you however you want to put it
is is almost it's ironic to me because you think
about the conditions that made the one two three punch
perhaps that in the last five years just crippled the
movie and TV industry. You had one strike by the writers,
(20:44):
you had one strike by the actors. You had other
strikes by by h would you call auxiliary workers the
IATZI strike. Then you had COVID and the restrictions that
were placed on studio we're more onerous than many of
the other restrictions for other businesses. So the idea that
(21:07):
you're going to come swoop in with a brilliant idea
of a seven hundred and fifty million dollars tax credit
program listen, which I support. By the way, it just
feels like it's a little bit disingenuous about why it
is that it's happening.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
He says.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
The world we invented is now competing against us. Hold
on a second. You consistently make it hard to do
business in the state of California, and even if it
is a business that's born.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
You're such a liberal, I know, liberal dem If you
could just contain your liberalism, I will it would be great.
At some point I will. Oh, it looks like it's over.
Looks like it's over.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Everybody's congratulating Hakeem Jeffries. Now there was see the magic minute.
They're literally waving hankies at stop. I know they are
waving hankies at Hakim Jeffries right now in the floor
of the house where he has just You.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Just love that, don't you, you bleeding heart. You're hanky
out as well.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
There it is.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
You did it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
You did it.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
You did it.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
You can hear Maxine Waters there close to the microphone.
You did it.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I'm the best visual of you standing up right now
with a hanky waving it and.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Shaking your head. Just tears in my eyes a little bit. Okay, okay, Oh,
get in there, Gary, I came a came, came, No.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
One tell conwaywayyay.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
So he went for almost nine hours on this thing,
and again Hakeem Jeffries, as the House Minority Leader, one
of the leaders for the Democratic Party in the House,
go damns.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Uh. He has.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
He has a privilege of taking what they referred to
as a mad minute, which is he could talk about
whatever he wants before a bill is voted upon. So
about two thirty in the morning our time, the House
had cleared out all of the other hurdles and was
ready to vote on that one big, beautiful bill. But
(23:15):
then Hakeem Jeffries comes in and says, well, I'm going
to delay this as long as possible.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And that's all he did.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
He didn't change anybody's mind, he didn't change anybody's vote,
He didn't change anything about this other than the time
stamp that's going to go on the House passing this
thing and sending it on to the president.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Michael Madsen has died sixty seven years old. Yeah, kill
Bill reservoir dogs. Donny Brasco, among others, found unresponsive this
morning in his home in Malibu, say natural causes. Michael
Madsen dead at sixty seven. Too young, way too young.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, he had a series of
some some demons.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Demons. So did he think so? But we'll check into that.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I don't want to say it if he didn't, because
then I look like a complete ass. But so, just
a quick wrap up on the whole seven hundred and
fifty million dollar tax credit from the state of California.
It doesn't go as far as some of the other
states that offer tax credits and tax breaks other kinds
of tax breaks. Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, New Mexico now
(24:26):
is getting into the game. And then of course in
Canada you've got British Columbia. All of those places have
really really attractive tax incentives for companies to go there
and make those make other movies and TV shows in
those other places. California we clearly have the roots of
the movie system and television system here, but these other
(24:48):
places are building up very very quick and have become
very popular. So the hope is at least on the
governor's mind. The hope is that there would be a
federal film and TV tax incentive as well. That came
up after President Trump had threatened to put tariffs on
(25:09):
films that are produced TV and movies that are produced overseas.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You are correct, Michael madsen Well publicized struggles with alcohol
substance abuse, multiple arrests for dui, court ordered rehab, these
kinds of things he's spoken about. He had spoken about
his addiction and impact on his life.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
All right, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez pretty mad, pretty bad.
Shouldn't they be on their honeymoon with their in laws
or something like that? They should be playing attention to headlines.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Shouldn't they be on their honeymoon with Sydney Sweeney and
Tom Brady?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Exactly ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Happy Birthday, Auntie Shannon, birthday.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Triplet, We love you, and yeah, keep your weird curiosities
to yourself.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Lady, you're not invited on a the honeymoon.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Wow, I told you they were listening, all right, So
speaker Johnson is just hours away from sending Trump, his
big beautiful Bill, Hakeem Jeffries, I believe broke the record
on the House floor for his unlimited speaking time that
he used to delay the passage. It's like one of
(26:25):
those records that you see athletes break when the team
is having a miserable season. You want to get excited
for the record, but you're like, eh, for what kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It's like, yeah, it's a personal record, but they can't
get that excited because the team is not doing well.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Yeah, and again it didn't do anything it right, I mean,
Hakim Jeffries got his name said many times today the
same way that Corey Booker did back in April when
he broke the record over in the Senate, but it
didn't do anything to change the outcome of the legislation.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Well, the fallout continues about this Jeff Bezos Lauren Sanchez
monster of a wedding in the island off Venice where
it was an a list star studded event. Everybody saw
the stars being ferried via gondola to the island and
the fashions alone, My gosh, the fashions. It was like
(27:23):
the met Ball. But anyway, some comments started rolling in
from celebrities which were I think getting more attention than
even all of the pictures and the hype around the wedding.
Katie Kirk was one of the first, and it was
shocking because I did not I look at I bought
whatever Katie Kirk was selling all those years about the
(27:44):
girl next door, the smart girl next door. I liked
getting my morning news from Katie Kirk, my MoMA doors
Katie Kirk.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I didn't know that she had a little mean girl
in her.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
She was one of the first to comment on Instagram
is where I saw it. On one of the pictures
of the wedding that another celebrity had posted. Katie Kurk wrote,
welcome to the eighties, when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled.
Apparently tacky is back.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Ah. I was floored.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
It's like, it's one thing to think it, it's another
thing to say it to your friends, and it's another
level to post it publicly for the world to see
your caddie comment.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
But it's also one of those things that which is
surprising for me to see it come from Katie Kirk.
She's been in the public eye and has probably taken
plenty of shots herself for things that have gone on
in her life or things that she's worn, her appearance
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That's part of it. It was like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, I mean we I be honest, we take shots
at people like this who are in the public eye
because they're in the public eye, and there is an expectation,
especially if you're gonna if you're gonna have a fifty
million dollar wedding, take ten million, and it's going to
be public, and you're going to include paparazzi, and you're
(29:06):
going to make it a big deal, and you're going
to invite people you don't even know simply because they're famous.
Then you should understand you're going to get some shots
taken at you, and you should calm the f down
and stop taking it so personally, there was another one.
Celebrity reporter Rob Shooter said that Jeff Bezos was fuming
(29:29):
when he figured out or learned what Charlie's theron had
said about the wedding, and that Lauren Sanchez had to
be talked down from firing off against Charlie's thearn on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah, Charlie's Sarron said, I think we may be the
only people who did not get an invite to the
Bezos wedding. She was hosting an outreach project for her foundation,
the Charlie's They're On Africa Outreach Project. So she told
the crowd, I think we may be the only people
who did not get an in bye to the Bezos wedding,
And then she went on to say, but that's okay
(30:03):
because they suck and were cool.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
She the greater picture was she said that it's a
tone deaf event. You know, well, well, so many people
are in crisis across the globe.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
That it's tone deaf to spend this much money on
a wedding, which is true.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
It's true if you have the kind of money to
make a difference, like Jeff Bezos does. It looks bad
when you spend this kind of money on a me
me me event.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
That's just it's just gratuitous. It's it's gratuitous.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It would be gratuitous if it was a million dollars,
but the estimates at fifty million.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Now you just look gross. You look gross.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Rosie O'Donnell's name has not been spoken in this show
for the last several years, but she was also another
celebrity who went after them, saying the Bezos wedding turned
my stomach seeing all those billionaires gather in the gross
excess of it all is Oprah friends with Jeff? Really,
how is that possible? And his fake fembot wife who
looks like that, well, just because she doesn't look like
(31:10):
a Sherman tank wearing a man's suit like Rosie o'donald does.
The salt of the earth Mackenzie that reference to Mackenzie Bezos,
Jeff Bezos' first wife sold his soul. Is what it
looks like from here. The devil is smiling at all
his conquests.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Okay, that's a little bit much.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You know, you Indian Conway should probably know this. Every
morning when we do our meeting before the show, you continually,
I mean it's.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Pretty much like three out of five days.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Of the week you come to the meaning like, can
we please talk about Rosie o'donald today, Yeah, one.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Of you guys always shoot it down.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
We do, we do, And I want to talk about
the great cameo that she did in Hacks Boy, that
was riveting. Really, the whole like the whole thing that
you really celebrate as a liberal Democrat is the view
as well.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
You constantly try to get us to play.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Soundbites from the View and Kean and are like, I
don't know if people want to hear that.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I don't know. I have them every single day.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Well, because you listen to the previous show on the
way to work in your car, the show from the
day before, so you're all by the time you get in,
you're like all fired up, full of the view excitement,
and we have to just kind of tamp it down
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Tamp it down? Is that what you want me to do?
But now that you've been asked, is that what.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Great Americans do is they tamp it down. That's what
they do. So somebody like me who has strong feelings
right and is constantly told stop having feelings, it's time
to tamp it down. Son, That's what I should do.
Is I should just turn turn the other cheek when
I am so motivated to talk about people like Whoopi
(33:01):
Goldberg or Rosie O'Donnell or any other people who have
made bad movies with Ted Danson.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
That's what I'm supposed to do. Just ignore it, just
move on, just somehow pretend.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
That these two muses of mine are not us statues
of their own liberty. If you will, come on, have
named for me two greater women who have proven that
men's wardrobe pieces belong on woman.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
You can't, you cannot name two people. Diane Keaton. Don't
you dare you stay on? You stay away from Diane Keaton.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
You stay away from Diane Keaton, she and Mia Farrow together.
Could you imagine the brain power that those two would
run together.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I can't imagine.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
And they're big, clumpy shoes, and they're big dumb felt hats.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah, the hat covering their stringy hair, and the.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Browser's the trousers, yes, and the constant they're constantly kerfuffled
all the time.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
They're just they're just like you, just like you, just
like me. And do you know why I am that way?
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Because I was because I was told to tamp it down.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
How dare I make you feel small? Don't you make
me feel small? You take up all the space you met.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
I feel big, I feel see, I feel heard because
I didn't tamp it down.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
America didn't tamp it down.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
No, Nay.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Two d and forty nine years ago, did we tamp
it down?
Speaker 5 (34:39):
No?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
We started McDonald's and fireworks and that's America?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Is that a bikini on your starting block? Bikini? I
wear what I want to wear. We'll do us swamp flash.
Maybe come back to Gary and Jack. You've been like
listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
