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 on this Thursday, August thirtieth Spooky Season.
We're missing the spectacular back at the office. No, we
wouldn't say missing it.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Would we, Bob, I would say it.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
So shout out to bja's manager Ryan, Ryan, killing It,
killing it. Michelle gave us this little cheat sheet of
people working today and I just glanced down at it
and I saw that our promotions crew was listed here,
so you got Johnny and Mike, and then it says
Anthony Russo And the way I read it was now
gay exclamation point, yay for Anthony. That's cool, But it
(00:45):
says new guy exclamation point. But I thought it was like,
he's super excited about it, and everybody wants to know.
I so though it's funny, like why would I read
that that way the first I don't know. I wanted
a celebration.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
There are a lot of things that are going on
before we get into swamp Watch. There is a story
that's breaking out of the Ontario area. The FBI is
now leading an investigation into a shooting that involved a
Department of Homeland Security as well. Today, DHS officers were
the ones that were requesting emergency assistance, and at this
(01:28):
point we have not yet heard the specifics of what
was going on. Several shots fired, We don't know extent
of injuries, if there were any, but this is one
of those high profile incidents. They will hold a news
conference we expect at some point, which if they do,
we will definitely carry at least part of it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So they don't play in Ontario. You know, want to
mess around in Ontario. Ontario police don't play, So don't
be a dumbass in Ontario.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Well said, thank you, it's time for swamp Watch.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Cheat.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
That would have been funny if you play I'm.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Stealing the lollipop here we got.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
So what I'm not going anywhere so that.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
The swap I can imagine what can be and be
unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
You know, Americans have always been gone, but they're not stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
We have the people voted for you with not swamp Watch.
They're all counting on them. Well, the big deal. Today,
President Trump sat down with Chinese President she and they
came out of their face to face meetings with what
looks like a temporary truce when it comes to the
trade fight between the two countries.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
What happened was you had the two largest economic countries
at the table, and they decided they don't want to
lose money.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
They don't want to mutually destroy each other's economies.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Let's make money together. Let's walk out of here, shake hands,
and continue to make money.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
So this agreement, they'll work out the details and the specifics.
But this agreement does include a reduction in American tariffs
on Chinese goods in exchange for a pledge by China
to crackdown on the chemicals that are used to produce fentanyl.
China has also agreed to ease the exports of their
rare earth minerals, which, of course we and here in
(03:29):
the Western world, we need to make a whole bunch
of different stuff, from phones to cars to everything. And
Beijing also promised to buy an absolute metric pantload of
soybeans from the United States and pay a fair price
for them because they use so many of them, and
they can't produce them as abundantly as we can.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Did anybody watch the Love Is Blind reunion last night?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh you did that whole thing out? The ring was ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yeah, but she was making those well those shots she.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That was a free throw, not a three yet. I'm
sorry going.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
No, Then he gave it back.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I was like, what I know? But the whole thing
was that the show bought the ring. He didn't even
buy the ring.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
You know what's funny.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I found out that Diane had a crush on Chris Paul.
Everyone has a crush on Chris Paul, I guess.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So I was just like, how am I supposed to
feel about this? Okay?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
President Trump has also ordered the military to immediately resume
testing nuclear weapons. We have not We the United States
have not tested nuclear weapons for thirty three years. That
announcement actually that he posted on truth Social. He did
so while he was on Marine one. Oh, while he
was on the helicopter headed to the meeting with the
(04:49):
Chinese leader.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
So I heard it was quite the bumpy flight. Did
you hear this?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, let me pull that up here. Trump complained about
the turbulence and and said that let's see. Air Force
one served up a bumpy ride for President Trump Thursday.
He wanted to get ahead of the inevitable rumors that
could crop up. He did a bunch of interviews during
the flyback from his Asian tour. He was practically fighting
(05:15):
to stay upright through the patch of turbulence. But he
pretty hilariously called it out. Referring to himself in the
third person, he joked, they're gonna be watching Trump. They're
gonna say he didn't look too good. He got the shakes.
I don't have the shakes, but people are gonna think
I do. Clutching a door frame. Trump suggested maybe they
should have pushed his meeting with the press back a
(05:35):
little bit, kidding. The interviews are tough enough without your
life being threatened. That's how dramatic I get during turbulence.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I've seen it. Yeah, I've seen this. Well, you were
also pretty clenched tight on takeoff and landing.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
That was a long time ago. And tax I'm a
different person.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
And when they said the door was about to close,
calm down. And during beverage service.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well didn't.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
When they tell you to put your laptop away, and
when they tell you to put your table, your tray away. Yeah,
you had a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Of I'm not gonna travel with you anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
That's fine by me, Fine, bye me. Yeah, there you go.
So then, also the rates and pricing of the Affordable
Care Act insurance plans publicly posted by the Federal Healthcare
dot gov marketplace. Somewhere around twenty six percent is the
average increase next year based on what they say is
the silver plan, their benchmark plan. That's kind of right
(06:27):
smack in the middle. We'll see if any of that changes,
if they can come to a conclusion to end the
government shutdown. Let's hear it for the government shutdown, shall we?
Uh right?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Because without it, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Did anyone read this story this morning that I lost
time reading about about Amelia Estevez telling Charlie Sheen that
Tom Cruise got the born on the fourth of July. Roll? Yeah,
Charlie Sheen is here? Love that guy who doesn't what
a story of redemption?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Wait? They're brothers, right, yeah, Emilia Wests and Charlie Sheener brothers.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yes, but very different people, very different people. Did you
watch that documentary about Charlie Sheen?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Holy hell, buckle up. There was some stuff in there
towards the end. I didn't know about about stuff about sex,
stuff with Charlie Sheen.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, Now, gay, I was gonna says, he's I know

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, it's she.
Speaker 1 (07:53):

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Robert de Niro, man, don't mess around with Robert de Niro.
His nineteen year old grandson overdosed two years ago, and
now authorities have made five more arrests in the case.
Wow July twenty twenty three. It was determined to be
an accidental drug overdose. But hell, hath no fury like
(09:26):
a pissed off Robert de Niro A dea official told
the News the suspects taken into custody and New York
are being charged with death resulting from the sale of narcotics.
Gonna sell drugs, don't do it to families with money,
Come after you.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Sidney Sweeney has been back in the headlines the last
couple of months, right, yeah, Sidney Sweet.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Applying for her her nipples.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Well, the whole package perhaps is probably a couple of
months ago.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That's the matter with me.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
She was in an American Eagle ad where she was
talking about having good genes to you know, play on
the whole genes thing, and it was a it was
very similar to the old Jordash commercial from Yes helped
me out with the Brookshields from way back in the
early eighties.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And then everyone has to rush to ruin the moment
and say it's political and she's some sort of white
supremacist from Nazi Germany who thinks that her genes are
the best because she's white. That's not what it is.
It's just selling genes for the love of God, right.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And if you don't like it, don't buy those genes.
It's that simple. That's the way. That's the way capitalism works.
So She also caused I guess some sort of a
controversy this week she did all the hype videos for
the World Series on Tuesdays.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Well, I think that's just people wanting to be aggrieved
that there's any sort of blowback to her being picked
to do a hype video for the World Series after
the Jeens fiasco.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
If I'm not mistaken, last night's hype video was voiced
by Ron Pearlman, who played, among other things, the Beast
from Beauty and The Beast back in the Day. He
also was Clay Teller in or sorry Clay Morrow in
Sons of Anarchy, the head of the biker gang. I
think he's the one that did it, but he didn't
(11:18):
appear on camera because he does not look like Sidney Sweeney,
which is why she was on camera.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Just last night, Sidney Sweeney was at an event in La,
the Variety Power of Women La event, and she shows up,
and boy did she She was wearing what is described
as a sparkly silver dress with a sheer bodice.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I thought described as the most revealing yet.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Of what for for her?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Maybe yes, yeah, because she was revealing.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
There were no foundational undergarments at least on the northern hemisphere.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Right, and those are real?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Those are real?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
What are her breast?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh, her breasts are real. Yes, I guess she was
going to get a reduction.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I read in high school, but did not. You would
shut your.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
What why I can say it? It wasn't me. I
had a girlfriend who had that.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh right, yeah, I thought you were saying something else.
I apologize, like what I thought you were going to say,
and I applaud that decision. You could you do?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
She didn't?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
If I'm just saying, you know, she she's really into
combat sports, taekwondo, jiu jitsu, grappling, kickboxing, like, she's very
into all that stuff. Well, the movie that very she's
a valedictorian too at her school in Burbank.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The movie that she's in currently, she's she plays a
professional boxer.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Okay, yeah, what movie is that?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I don't remember what it's called, but it's out recently.
So people are upset that she's showing off her wares.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Who's upset about it? I've seen a lauded this morning,
a lot of you know, you even have to you
even have the child proof on that picture?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I mean I have the other ones you won't allow
yourself to look at the well.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I had to see what the Sharon Stone was also
at that same event last night, Sharon Stone, longtime sex
symbol eighties, nineties, et cetera, still to this day. She
said that she kind of hit back at whatever critics
exist of Sidney Sweeney and said it's okay to use
what mama gave you. She also said, and this again,
(13:35):
Sharon Stone speaking, it's hard to be hot, and I
think we all know that. I'll go out on a
limit and say we don't all know that. I mean, listen,
I love everybody in the room, but we all don't
look like Sidney Sweeney, so we all don't know. But
she said, it's okay to use every bit of hotness
you have right here, right now, and go for whatever
(13:56):
that is. If you're twenty eight and you have a
body like that, you're.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Gonna show up the body doesn't get you there. That
sounded weird if you needed her to be hotter. She
also restored in nineteen sixty nine Ford Bronco and a
sixty five Mustang. She owns a fifty six Ford F
one hundred gift by her grandfather. Like she's super into
(14:21):
cars wo and she's into combat sports, and she looks
like that, and she's smart as a valedictorian, like she
is the whole package.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Then why do people have such a problem with her.
That's what I understand is why anybody would criticize whatever
she's doing.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I don't know who is, I don't know where you're
reading that. I think it's all fake. I think it's
all fake noise. I don't see anybody in real life
criticizing Sydney Sweeney only thinking she's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Huh, what are you reading?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Are you on some sort of all left Twitter algorithm?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
No, it just happens to be attached to whatever picture
if her comes up. Oh, I don't have a subscription
to her pictures or anything.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You don't have a Google alert, I don't have Sydney
Swidney Images. Don't do that.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
That'd be oh sorry, I'll stop.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
You can stop looking at that.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I'm just looking at the picture, that's all. I'm not
doing it. And again, it's the child proof picture.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
It's California Penal Code three one four states I'm not
doing it for sexual gratification.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Therefore it's it's perfectly legal, all.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Right, Coming up next more stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
We're live today BJ's Restaurant in Blue House in West Covina.
Come on out and say hi, We'll be here until
one o'clock. Tepor Mark, Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
That's exciting.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
TeV remark what apples. We're gonna apple apples, Apple apple talk?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Who loves Apple Talk? I love Apple Talk.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Are you buying cheese baskets now? David?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, I used to use that company for Christmas gifts.
Probably calling to say why haven't you placed your order?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
What happened? We hope everything's okay.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We do have this apple story to get to I'm
pretty excited about.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yes, I did look up some Apple variety things too,
just to get to go ahead. Before we get to that.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Just love listening to Gary and Shannon in the morning.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
You guys are awesome.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
However, every time Gary comes up with an idea and
would like to speak about it, Shannon interrupts him.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
So, for the love of.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
God, Shannon let him finish a thought.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Yeah, I know, Thank you you guys. Have a happy day.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Happy Halloween you too, which reminds me I was thinking
the other day about this thing. This is when you
interrupt me for the joke. No, you're not going to
do it now.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Okay, I'm giving you any space.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I don't need any space.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Okay, here we go.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
This is from the Wall Street Journal. It was written
by a woman I'm assuming named Amira McKee. And this
is such a beautifully written article. I don't even know.
I'm not even gonna change it. She writes. It was
a sound before it was a taste, a sharp, explosive crunch.
When David Bedford took his first bite of the Mystery
(17:19):
apple in nineteen eighty eight, he knew he'd found gold.
That syrupy, sweet, and shockingly crisp fruit came from an
unremarkable sapling that Bedford, then a graduate student, had rescued
from a discard pile of a University of Minnesota breeding program.
But the apple had problems. It was too big, too fragile,
(17:45):
a magnet for disease. The farmers who sampled it were
quick to dismiss the finicky tree. They said, oh, it's
a nightmare, we'll never grow that. Thirty years later, that
apple now name the Honey Crisp.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Oh, I knew it.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Dominates the American market.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
All right, let's go crazy. Anybody like the honey crisp?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Who likes the honey crisp? Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Not everybody likes the honey crisp. It's not the world's
greatest apple. It's good, it's good, but it's not the
world's greatest apple. And when you find out how finnickty
sorry to get finicky it is to grow it is,
you're not gonna it's gonna taste a little sour in
your mouth next time.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
If farmers say she's a diva, she's an absolute diva.
The problem is the skin is usually easily punctured by
its own stem, which means workers must hand clip the
fruit from the tree, cutting productivity in half. The tree
tends to produce more apples than it can handle, so
growers must thin out the fruit.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You have to spray them free.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
You gotta spray them. You gotta coax the apple into
developing its signature red pink que How do you coax
it into it? You just talk to it. No, what
do you say to the apple?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
You literally lay out sheets of metallic or reflective material
underneath the tree that reflects the sunlight back to the
back underside of you know, the of the apple so
that it gets red. Yeah. Yep.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
If in January nine out of ten honey Crisp survive storage,
a farmer might only get seven out of ten by
the summer. But listen, they're charging three times what they're
charging for the other apples, so they can shove it.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Now let's get around to applause to find out what
type of apple. Wait, oh, go on, y'all enjoy the most.
I have a list.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I have a list here from Eat This Not That,
which is a website that it talks all about food.
And I'll go through and I'll give you the top fifteen.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That's a lot of varietals.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yes, if you hear your favorite apple, you'll let out
a huge cheer.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Don't blow your wad early. If you hear an apple
that you kind of like, don't give it your applause. Yeah,
wait for your specific apple, because we got fifteen of them.
We're gonna get to your apple.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
We have pills for that.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
But don't you give a different apple your love if
your true love is further down on the list.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I think last time we did the apple story, we
figured out there's eighty plus different varieties of apples.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Oh yeah, some of them.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Are absolute trash. In fact, some on this list.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Are absolute that's your opinion. Gary.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
From number fifteen to number one, the fifteenth most popular
apple variety.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Number to applaud If this is your ass.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Your apple Red Delicious, you're an animal. You're an awful
person with no taste.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
But it's not true. But I didn't hear passion. I
didn't hear passion in that applause.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
That was a mid That was a mid.

Yes? What about wings with too much sauce? Yes? No,
all right?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
What lemon lemon pepper? I do like lemon pepper wings
a lot. Those are the ones that we got from
the Strip club or lemon pepper the Sweet Lou? Was
it Sweet Lou Wings? Was it the And then remember
when I went to Magic City.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I don't remember seeing any photographic evidence of it, but
I remember the stories about it, And.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
No, it wasn't Sweet Lou. It was who was a
basketball player who broke out of the bubble to go
to Magic City?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Williams? Yeah, I went.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
To Magic City in Atlanta because the Chargers were playing
there last year. Lou Williams was there and I took
a picture with him at Magic City with there like
that happened in my life. I can't believe it, but
it was a true story. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I grew up in a town known for chickens, right
we were. They can send us the chicken capital of
the world. Absolutely, there's a woman who stole chickens and
is now potentially looking at years in jail.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
How many chickens. Did she steal?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I'll tell you when we come back. Where is what
part of the land in Petaluma? Oh yeah, Oh that's great.
Gary Shannon will continue live today at Pj's Restaurant and
brew House in West Covina.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
This fun one. Some serious stories that we have actually
been following today, including this shooting in Ontario. At this point,
we still don't know a whole lot about what was
going on, but a Department of Homeland Security officer involved
shooting is being investigated out there. We don't know injuries,
extent of injuries, that sort of thing, but we will
(24:59):
get you updated throughout the course of the day with
KFI News. Also, one of the big stories of the
day is this decision by President Trump ordering the military
to immediately resume testing on nuclear weapons after thirty plus years.
And as that gets a little bit more fleshed out,
we'll know what it exactly he's talking about.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I'm excited about the surprise that's going to happen here.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
The what we just heard about. Yeah, yeah, should we
talk about it? Well, we can, but we don't have
to tell everybody. It's just say that if you're here
in the building, there is a surprise yet to come.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
If you're here in the building, there's a surprise.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Lucky, lucky years.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
We never had this kind of surprise at ourbj's before. Nope, never,
that's exciting.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
There was a there's a woman up in northern California
who has been found guilty of an offense against Purdue
Farms poultry plant.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
This is a great story.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
She was found guilty just yesterday of felony, conspiracy, trespassing,
and other charges and faces literally several years in jail
for her transgression.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
If you are a diehard Gas family member, then you
will remember the story of the.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Lobster of Lobby Joe.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Lobby Joe a woman out in the Boston area that
broke into a market to free a lobster from a
grocery store to save the lobster, and she.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Named this lobster before she put it back in the ocean.
She named him lobby Joe.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
She named him lobby Joe. So what did we do?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Well?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Gary put on one of his voices and I interviewed
the activist Christine.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I think Christine.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Lofed Loffler loft and something like that. Anyway, so he
did the voice. It went something like this, So, Christine,
thanks for coming on Gary and Shannon. I hear that
you freed a lobster.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yes, it's very important for me to free lobby Joe
because I just I like this. The animal suffer that way.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
So then we all had fun with it. It was
a great time.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Ah, funny story.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
We had the real Christine Laughlin on the following week,
so we got a hold of her.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Somebody tattled on us, yeah, and sent her the actual
lobster kidnapper. The sound from our show making fun of her, and.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
The real interview went something like this, Hey, Christine, welcome
to the Gary and Shannon Show. So I hear you
free to lobster.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Thanks. I couldn't just allow the lobster to be victimized,
so I freed the lobster.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
She said it exactly the same. It was her wild.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Well, we have another woman in that same vein who
I guarantee sounds just like that. Her name is Zoe Rosenberg.
She's twenty three. She took the animals from the company
that's now called Pedaluma Poultry. That's it. When I was
a kid. It was called Pedaluma poultry process We got
chickens because they took the chickens part and made chicken
(28:01):
stuff out of them. She stole four birds. She stole
four chickens from the poultry processing plant and said she
was rescuing them from a cruel situation, therefore was not
breaking the law. The seven week trial ended in the
jury disagreeing with her, saying she yes, absolutely broke the law,
(28:21):
so took less than a day to find her guilty
on all counts. Yesterday she said, I will not apologize,
and this is the best part. She said, I chose
to intervene and I did because Poppy ivy ast and
Azalea are live today. She named the four chickens she
(28:42):
stole from the processing plants.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Give it up for Zoe. What are those names again?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Poppy ivy ast and Azalea is astor.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Also a flower, a flora, or a fauna.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I do have no idea. Ah. There she walked out
a court wearing an ankle monitor. She will be sentenced
at some point. She told them she was going to
immediately head to the Sonoma County Sheriff's office to report
the poultry processing plant for animal cruelty, so we used
to have listen again. That's the town I grew up in,
(29:17):
and that poultry processing plant employed hundreds and hundreds of people,
to the point where I had no idea what that meant.
I had no idea what they did at that factory
until I was I think I was in high school
by the time I realized what they did. They had
a baseball team that they sponsored, the Pedulum of Poultry Processors,
(29:38):
the Triple P they called them, and they were a
really good team.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
That's all I would kill for. One of those T
shirts would be great. And it has to be stained
and dirty and holy oh yeah, and like off white,
like it started white but now it's kind of a cream.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Color covered in chicken goo.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Zoey Rosenberg, by the way, is the founder of that
Happy Hen Animal Sanctuary in San Louis. I'll give you
one guess where she went to college, Berkeley, Yes, sing ding.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Ding names not a surprise.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
She was arrested at age fourteen on live television during
a Dodgers game for pitch invasion, protesting the alleged maltreatment
of farm animals by a meat supplier used for Dodger
dog hot dogs. What a dumb ass if there's a
protest against some meat, because this is back when they
were the farmer John Dodger dogs, which I will protest
(30:34):
for any day and twice on Sunday. If you want
to go after the eat animal population, you don't do
it over the original Dodger dog. Because even my husband
doesn't eat meat, but he eats Dodger dogs. Seriously, Like
that's how much people love Dodger dogs. She picked the
wrong hill to die on that day meat anyway, and
(30:54):
now she's found the right hill with the chickens.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
She's she's gonna be sentenced in December. She could face
four and a half years in jail.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
So she's definitely making a protest.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Right, she's killing it. I guess.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Oh, Deborah marks Hero, you're right, Deborah, did you hear
this story? No? Oh, a woman has just been sent
to prison for four and a half years for saving
four chickens from a chicken plant in Petaluma.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Oh that's amazing, Yeah, that is amazing.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
It could be her correspondence. I could write to her
on the inside. Maybe I should do that, you know,
maybe turn her onto the John Cobalt Show. Yeah, yeah,
she sounds like.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
She She sounds like she'd a P one listener at
John Show.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Love her. She likes animals, Yes he does.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
He does.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
He likes him with sauce, Yes, exactly, exactly he does.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
But he's he's like a secret animal enthusiast.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
He's just not a big vegan enthusiast.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Right, right, right, right.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
You'd probably eat a vegan if he had the opportunity.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Very true.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, we're live today at BJ's Restaurant in brew House
in West Covina. We'll be out here for another for
another hour. You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
(32:19):
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app on this Thursday, August thirtieth Spooky Season.
We're missing the spectacular back at the office. No, we
wouldn't say missing it.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Would we, Bob, I would say it.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
So shout out to bja's manager Ryan, Ryan, killing It,
killing it. Michelle gave us this little cheat sheet of
people working today and I just glanced down at it
and I saw that our promotions crew was listed here,
so you got Johnny and Mike, and then it says
Anthony Russo And the way I read it was now
gay exclamation point, yay for Anthony. That's cool, But it
(00:45):
says new guy exclamation point. But I thought it was like,
he's super excited about it, and everybody wants to know.
I so though it's funny, like why would I read
that that way the first I don't know. I wanted
a celebration.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
There are a lot of things that are going on
before we get into swamp Watch. There is a story
that's breaking out of the Ontario area. The FBI is
now leading an investigation into a shooting that involved a
Department of Homeland Security as well. Today, DHS officers were
the ones that were requesting emergency assistance, and at this
(01:28):
point we have not yet heard the specifics of what
was going on. Several shots fired, We don't know extent
of injuries, if there were any, but this is one
of those high profile incidents. They will hold a news
conference we expect at some point, which if they do,
we will definitely carry at least part of it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So they don't play in Ontario. You know, want to
mess around in Ontario. Ontario police don't play, So don't
be a dumbass in Ontario.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Well said, thank you, it's time for swamp Watch.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Cheat.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
That would have been funny if you play I'm.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Stealing the lollipop here we got.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
So what I'm not going anywhere so that.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
The swap I can imagine what can be and be
unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
You know, Americans have always been gone, but they're not stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
We have the people voted for you with not swamp Watch.
They're all counting on them. Well, the big deal. Today,
President Trump sat down with Chinese President she and they
came out of their face to face meetings with what
looks like a temporary truce when it comes to the
trade fight between the two countries.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
What happened was you had the two largest economic countries
at the table, and they decided they don't want to
lose money.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
They don't want to mutually destroy each other's economies.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Let's make money together. Let's walk out of here, shake hands,
and continue to make money.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
So this agreement, they'll work out the details and the specifics.
But this agreement does include a reduction in American tariffs
on Chinese goods in exchange for a pledge by China
to crackdown on the chemicals that are used to produce fentanyl.
China has also agreed to ease the exports of their
rare earth minerals, which, of course we and here in
(03:29):
the Western world, we need to make a whole bunch
of different stuff, from phones to cars to everything. And
Beijing also promised to buy an absolute metric pantload of
soybeans from the United States and pay a fair price
for them because they use so many of them, and
they can't produce them as abundantly as we can.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Did anybody watch the Love Is Blind reunion last night?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh you did that whole thing out? The ring was ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yeah, but she was making those well those shots she.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That was a free throw, not a three yet. I'm
sorry going.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
No, Then he gave it back.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I was like, what I know? But the whole thing
was that the show bought the ring. He didn't even
buy the ring.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
You know what's funny.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I found out that Diane had a crush on Chris Paul.
Everyone has a crush on Chris Paul, I guess.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So I was just like, how am I supposed to
feel about this? Okay?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
President Trump has also ordered the military to immediately resume
testing nuclear weapons. We have not We the United States
have not tested nuclear weapons for thirty three years. That
announcement actually that he posted on truth Social. He did
so while he was on Marine one. Oh, while he
was on the helicopter headed to the meeting with the
(04:49):
Chinese leader.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
So I heard it was quite the bumpy flight. Did
you hear this?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, let me pull that up here. Trump complained about
the turbulence and and said that let's see. Air Force
one served up a bumpy ride for President Trump Thursday.
He wanted to get ahead of the inevitable rumors that
could crop up. He did a bunch of interviews during
the flyback from his Asian tour. He was practically fighting
(05:15):
to stay upright through the patch of turbulence. But he
pretty hilariously called it out. Referring to himself in the
third person, he joked, they're gonna be watching Trump. They're
gonna say he didn't look too good. He got the shakes.
I don't have the shakes, but people are gonna think
I do. Clutching a door frame. Trump suggested maybe they
should have pushed his meeting with the press back a
(05:35):
little bit, kidding. The interviews are tough enough without your
life being threatened. That's how dramatic I get during turbulence.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I've seen it. Yeah, I've seen this. Well, you were
also pretty clenched tight on takeoff and landing.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
That was a long time ago. And tax I'm a
different person.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
And when they said the door was about to close,
calm down. And during beverage service.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well didn't.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
When they tell you to put your laptop away, and
when they tell you to put your table, your tray away. Yeah,
you had a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Of I'm not gonna travel with you anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
That's fine by me, Fine, bye me. Yeah, there you go.
So then, also the rates and pricing of the Affordable
Care Act insurance plans publicly posted by the Federal Healthcare
dot gov marketplace. Somewhere around twenty six percent is the
average increase next year based on what they say is
the silver plan, their benchmark plan. That's kind of right
(06:27):
smack in the middle. We'll see if any of that changes,
if they can come to a conclusion to end the
government shutdown. Let's hear it for the government shutdown, shall we?
Uh right?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Because without it, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Did anyone read this story this morning that I lost
time reading about about Amelia Estevez telling Charlie Sheen that
Tom Cruise got the born on the fourth of July. Roll? Yeah,
Charlie Sheen is here? Love that guy who doesn't what
a story of redemption?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Wait? They're brothers, right, yeah, Emilia Wests and Charlie Sheener brothers.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yes, but very different people, very different people. Did you
watch that documentary about Charlie Sheen?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Holy hell, buckle up. There was some stuff in there
towards the end. I didn't know about about stuff about sex,
stuff with Charlie Sheen.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, Now, gay, I was gonna says, he's I know
he's done some stuff I didn't know about. The twenty
bucks is twenty bucks. I mean, you gotta be honest

Don't be with your guys.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, it's she.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I mean she's she's twenty seven, right, I mean it's
not like she's that young.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Garyan Shannon will continue live today BJ's restaurant in brew
House in West Covina will be out here until one o'clock.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI

Robert de Niro, man, don't mess around with Robert de Niro.
His nineteen year old grandson overdosed two years ago, and
now authorities have made five more arrests in the case.
Wow July twenty twenty three. It was determined to be
an accidental drug overdose. But hell, hath no fury like
(09:26):
a pissed off Robert de Niro A dea official told
the News the suspects taken into custody and New York
are being charged with death resulting from the sale of narcotics.
Gonna sell drugs, don't do it to families with money,
Come after you.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Sidney Sweeney has been back in the headlines the last
couple of months, right, yeah, Sidney Sweet.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Applying for her her nipples.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Well, the whole package perhaps is probably a couple of
months ago.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That's the matter with me.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
She was in an American Eagle ad where she was
talking about having good genes to you know, play on
the whole genes thing, and it was a it was
very similar to the old Jordash commercial from Yes helped
me out with the Brookshields from way back in the
early eighties.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And then everyone has to rush to ruin the moment
and say it's political and she's some sort of white
supremacist from Nazi Germany who thinks that her genes are
the best because she's white. That's not what it is.
It's just selling genes for the love of God, right.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And if you don't like it, don't buy those genes.
It's that simple. That's the way. That's the way capitalism works.
So She also caused I guess some sort of a
controversy this week she did all the hype videos for
the World Series on Tuesdays.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Well, I think that's just people wanting to be aggrieved
that there's any sort of blowback to her being picked
to do a hype video for the World Series after
the Jeens fiasco.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
If I'm not mistaken, last night's hype video was voiced
by Ron Pearlman, who played, among other things, the Beast
from Beauty and The Beast back in the Day. He
also was Clay Teller in or sorry Clay Morrow in
Sons of Anarchy, the head of the biker gang. I
think he's the one that did it, but he didn't
(11:18):
appear on camera because he does not look like Sidney Sweeney,
which is why she was on camera.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Just last night, Sidney Sweeney was at an event in La,
the Variety Power of Women La event, and she shows up,
and boy did she She was wearing what is described
as a sparkly silver dress with a sheer bodice.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I thought described as the most revealing yet.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Of what for for her?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Maybe yes, yeah, because she was revealing.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
There were no foundational undergarments at least on the northern hemisphere.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Right, and those are real?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Those are real?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
What are her breast?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh, her breasts are real. Yes, I guess she was
going to get a reduction.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I read in high school, but did not. You would
shut your.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
What why I can say it? It wasn't me. I
had a girlfriend who had that.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh right, yeah, I thought you were saying something else.
I apologize, like what I thought you were going to say,
and I applaud that decision. You could you do?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
She didn't?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
If I'm just saying, you know, she she's really into
combat sports, taekwondo, jiu jitsu, grappling, kickboxing, like, she's very
into all that stuff. Well, the movie that very she's
a valedictorian too at her school in Burbank.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The movie that she's in currently, she's she plays a
professional boxer.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Okay, yeah, what movie is that?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I don't remember what it's called, but it's out recently.
So people are upset that she's showing off her wares.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Who's upset about it? I've seen a lauded this morning,
a lot of you know, you even have to you
even have the child proof on that picture?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I mean I have the other ones you won't allow
yourself to look at the well.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I had to see what the Sharon Stone was also
at that same event last night, Sharon Stone, longtime sex
symbol eighties, nineties, et cetera, still to this day. She
said that she kind of hit back at whatever critics
exist of Sidney Sweeney and said it's okay to use
what mama gave you. She also said, and this again,
(13:35):
Sharon Stone speaking, it's hard to be hot, and I
think we all know that. I'll go out on a
limit and say we don't all know that. I mean, listen,
I love everybody in the room, but we all don't
look like Sidney Sweeney, so we all don't know. But
she said, it's okay to use every bit of hotness
you have right here, right now, and go for whatever
(13:56):
that is. If you're twenty eight and you have a
body like that, you're.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Gonna show up the body doesn't get you there. That
sounded weird if you needed her to be hotter. She
also restored in nineteen sixty nine Ford Bronco and a
sixty five Mustang. She owns a fifty six Ford F
one hundred gift by her grandfather. Like she's super into
(14:21):
cars wo and she's into combat sports, and she looks
like that, and she's smart as a valedictorian, like she
is the whole package.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Then why do people have such a problem with her.
That's what I understand is why anybody would criticize whatever
she's doing.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I don't know who is, I don't know where you're
reading that. I think it's all fake. I think it's
all fake noise. I don't see anybody in real life
criticizing Sydney Sweeney only thinking she's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Huh, what are you reading?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Are you on some sort of all left Twitter algorithm?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
No, it just happens to be attached to whatever picture
if her comes up. Oh, I don't have a subscription
to her pictures or anything.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You don't have a Google alert, I don't have Sydney
Swidney Images. Don't do that.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
That'd be oh sorry, I'll stop.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
You can stop looking at that.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I'm just looking at the picture, that's all. I'm not
doing it. And again, it's the child proof picture.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
It's California Penal Code three one four states I'm not
doing it for sexual gratification.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Therefore it's it's perfectly legal, all.
Speaker 1 (15:25):

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Who loves Apple Talk? I love Apple Talk.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Are you buying cheese baskets now? David?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, I used to use that company for Christmas gifts.
Probably calling to say why haven't you placed your order?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
What happened? We hope everything's okay.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We do have this apple story to get to I'm
pretty excited about.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Yes, I did look up some Apple variety things too,
just to get to go ahead. Before we get to that.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Just love listening to Gary and Shannon in the morning.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
You guys are awesome.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
However, every time Gary comes up with an idea and
would like to speak about it, Shannon interrupts him.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
So, for the love of.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
God, Shannon let him finish a thought.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Yeah, I know, Thank you you guys. Have a happy day.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Happy Halloween you too, which reminds me I was thinking
the other day about this thing. This is when you
interrupt me for the joke. No, you're not going to
do it now.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Okay, I'm giving you any space.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I don't need any space.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Okay, here we go.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
This is from the Wall Street Journal. It was written
by a woman I'm assuming named Amira McKee. And this
is such a beautifully written article. I don't even know.
I'm not even gonna change it. She writes. It was
a sound before it was a taste, a sharp, explosive crunch.
When David Bedford took his first bite of the Mystery
(17:19):
apple in nineteen eighty eight, he knew he'd found gold.
That syrupy, sweet, and shockingly crisp fruit came from an
unremarkable sapling that Bedford, then a graduate student, had rescued
from a discard pile of a University of Minnesota breeding program.
But the apple had problems. It was too big, too fragile,
(17:45):
a magnet for disease. The farmers who sampled it were
quick to dismiss the finicky tree. They said, oh, it's
a nightmare, we'll never grow that. Thirty years later, that
apple now name the Honey Crisp.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Oh, I knew it.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Dominates the American market.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
All right, let's go crazy. Anybody like the honey crisp?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Who likes the honey crisp? Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Not everybody likes the honey crisp. It's not the world's
greatest apple. It's good, it's good, but it's not the
world's greatest apple. And when you find out how finnickty
sorry to get finicky it is to grow it is,
you're not gonna it's gonna taste a little sour in
your mouth next time.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
If farmers say she's a diva, she's an absolute diva.
The problem is the skin is usually easily punctured by
its own stem, which means workers must hand clip the
fruit from the tree, cutting productivity in half. The tree
tends to produce more apples than it can handle, so
growers must thin out the fruit.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You have to spray them free.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
You gotta spray them. You gotta coax the apple into
developing its signature red pink que How do you coax
it into it? You just talk to it. No, what
do you say to the apple?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
You literally lay out sheets of metallic or reflective material
underneath the tree that reflects the sunlight back to the
back underside of you know, the of the apple so
that it gets red. Yeah. Yep.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
If in January nine out of ten honey Crisp survive storage,
a farmer might only get seven out of ten by
the summer. But listen, they're charging three times what they're
charging for the other apples, so they can shove it.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Now let's get around to applause to find out what
type of apple. Wait, oh, go on, y'all enjoy the most.
I have a list.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I have a list here from Eat This Not That,
which is a website that it talks all about food.
And I'll go through and I'll give you the top fifteen.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That's a lot of varietals.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yes, if you hear your favorite apple, you'll let out
a huge cheer.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Don't blow your wad early. If you hear an apple
that you kind of like, don't give it your applause. Yeah,
wait for your specific apple, because we got fifteen of them.
We're gonna get to your apple.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
We have pills for that.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
But don't you give a different apple your love if
your true love is further down on the list.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I think last time we did the apple story, we
figured out there's eighty plus different varieties of apples.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Oh yeah, some of them.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Are absolute trash. In fact, some on this list.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Are absolute that's your opinion. Gary.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
From number fifteen to number one, the fifteenth most popular
apple variety.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Number to applaud If this is your ass.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Your apple Red Delicious, you're an animal. You're an awful
person with no taste.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
But it's not true. But I didn't hear passion. I
didn't hear passion in that applause.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
That was a mid That was a mid.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Level, right there.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
You really love it that much?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Faking it? Tina and the Red and Delicious knows it? Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Number fourteen, Number fourteen, Granny Smith.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Yeah, okay, that's that's some passion.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yes, all right, very sorry. Number thirteen, the Ginger Gold,
Oh nobody's had one. Number twelve, the Jonah Gold. It
is pretty good. Number eleven, the Envy Apple, Number ten,
the Pink Lady. That's pretty good. That's a pretty good apple.
I'm not gonna lie. Number nine, your honey, Chris.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Now wait, we've gone through pretty much the most popular
animal our animal apple kinds already, and we still have
eight more to go. This is eight, the number eight
most popular apple ride in the United States. Kiku Kiku,

Speaker 2 (21:46):
A lot of these get very similar. Number six the
Sweet Tangles.

They're like foreign apples.
Speaker 2 (21:53):

have you ever had the Mazzarella sticks?
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Here, Oh, yes, I have Yes. What about wings?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Do you want rancher? Do you want marinera a bowl?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yes? What about wings with too much sauce? Yes? No,

Speaker 1 (23:06):
What lemon lemon pepper? I do like lemon pepper wings
a lot. Those are the ones that we got from
the Strip club or lemon pepper the Sweet Lou? Was
it Sweet Lou Wings? Was it the And then remember
when I went to Magic City.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I don't remember seeing any photographic evidence of it, but
I remember the stories about it, And.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
No, it wasn't Sweet Lou. It was who was a
basketball player who broke out of the bubble to go
to Magic City?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Williams? Yeah, I went.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
To Magic City in Atlanta because the Chargers were playing
there last year. Lou Williams was there and I took
a picture with him at Magic City with there like
that happened in my life. I can't believe it, but
it was a true story. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I grew up in a town known for chickens, right
we were. They can send us the chicken capital of
the world. Absolutely, there's a woman who stole chickens and
is now potentially looking at years in jail.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
How many chickens. Did she steal?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I'll tell you when we come back. Where is what
part of the land in Petaluma? Oh yeah, Oh that's great.
Gary Shannon will continue live today at Pj's Restaurant and
brew House in West Covina.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
This fun one. Some serious stories that we have actually
been following today, including this shooting in Ontario. At this point,
we still don't know a whole lot about what was
going on, but a Department of Homeland Security officer involved
shooting is being investigated out there. We don't know injuries,
extent of injuries, that sort of thing, but we will
(24:59):
get you updated throughout the course of the day with
KFI News. Also, one of the big stories of the
day is this decision by President Trump ordering the military
to immediately resume testing on nuclear weapons after thirty plus years.
And as that gets a little bit more fleshed out,
we'll know what it exactly he's talking about.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I'm excited about the surprise that's going to happen here.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
The what we just heard about. Yeah, yeah, should we
talk about it? Well, we can, but we don't have
to tell everybody. It's just say that if you're here
in the building, there is a surprise yet to come.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
If you're here in the building, there's a surprise.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Lucky, lucky years.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
We never had this kind of surprise at ourbj's before. Nope, never,
that's exciting.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
There was a there's a woman up in northern California
who has been found guilty of an offense against Purdue
Farms poultry plant.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
This is a great story.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
She was found guilty just yesterday of felony, conspiracy, trespassing,
and other charges and faces literally several years in jail
for her transgression.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
If you are a diehard Gas family member, then you
will remember the story of the.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Lobster of Lobby Joe.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Lobby Joe a woman out in the Boston area that
broke into a market to free a lobster from a
grocery store to save the lobster, and she.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Named this lobster before she put it back in the ocean.
She named him lobby Joe.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
She named him lobby Joe. So what did we do?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Well?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Gary put on one of his voices and I interviewed
the activist Christine.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I think Christine.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Lofed Loffler loft and something like that. Anyway, so he
did the voice. It went something like this, So, Christine,
thanks for coming on Gary and Shannon. I hear that
you freed a lobster.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yes, it's very important for me to free lobby Joe
because I just I like this. The animal suffer that way.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
So then we all had fun with it. It was
a great time.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Ah, funny story.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
We had the real Christine Laughlin on the following week,
so we got a hold of her.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Somebody tattled on us, yeah, and sent her the actual
lobster kidnapper. The sound from our show making fun of her, and.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
The real interview went something like this, Hey, Christine, welcome
to the Gary and Shannon Show. So I hear you
free to lobster.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Thanks. I couldn't just allow the lobster to be victimized,
so I freed the lobster.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
She said it exactly the same. It was her wild.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Well, we have another woman in that same vein who
I guarantee sounds just like that. Her name is Zoe Rosenberg.
She's twenty three. She took the animals from the company
that's now called Pedaluma Poultry. That's it. When I was
a kid. It was called Pedaluma poultry process We got
chickens because they took the chickens part and made chicken
(28:01):
stuff out of them. She stole four birds. She stole
four chickens from the poultry processing plant and said she
was rescuing them from a cruel situation, therefore was not
breaking the law. The seven week trial ended in the
jury disagreeing with her, saying she yes, absolutely broke the law,
(28:21):
so took less than a day to find her guilty
on all counts. Yesterday she said, I will not apologize,
and this is the best part. She said, I chose
to intervene and I did because Poppy ivy ast and
Azalea are live today. She named the four chickens she
(28:42):
stole from the processing plants.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Give it up for Zoe. What are those names again?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Poppy ivy ast and Azalea is astor.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Also a flower, a flora, or a fauna.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I do have no idea. Ah. There she walked out
a court wearing an ankle monitor. She will be sentenced
at some point. She told them she was going to
immediately head to the Sonoma County Sheriff's office to report
the poultry processing plant for animal cruelty, so we used
to have listen again. That's the town I grew up in,
(29:17):
and that poultry processing plant employed hundreds and hundreds of people,
to the point where I had no idea what that meant.
I had no idea what they did at that factory
until I was I think I was in high school
by the time I realized what they did. They had
a baseball team that they sponsored, the Pedulum of Poultry Processors,
(29:38):
the Triple P they called them, and they were a
really good team.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
That's all I would kill for. One of those T
shirts would be great. And it has to be stained
and dirty and holy oh yeah, and like off white,
like it started white but now it's kind of a cream.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Color covered in chicken goo.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Zoey Rosenberg, by the way, is the founder of that
Happy Hen Animal Sanctuary in San Louis. I'll give you
one guess where she went to college, Berkeley, Yes, sing ding.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Ding names not a surprise.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
She was arrested at age fourteen on live television during
a Dodgers game for pitch invasion, protesting the alleged maltreatment
of farm animals by a meat supplier used for Dodger
dog hot dogs. What a dumb ass if there's a
protest against some meat, because this is back when they
were the farmer John Dodger dogs, which I will protest
(30:34):
for any day and twice on Sunday. If you want
to go after the eat animal population, you don't do
it over the original Dodger dog. Because even my husband
doesn't eat meat, but he eats Dodger dogs. Seriously, Like
that's how much people love Dodger dogs. She picked the
wrong hill to die on that day meat anyway, and
(30:54):
now she's found the right hill with the chickens.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
She's she's gonna be sentenced in December. She could face
four and a half years in jail.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
So she's definitely making a protest.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Right, she's killing it. I guess.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Oh, Deborah marks Hero, you're right, Deborah, did you hear
this story? No? Oh, a woman has just been sent
to prison for four and a half years for saving
four chickens from a chicken plant in Petaluma.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Oh that's amazing, Yeah, that is amazing.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
It could be her correspondence. I could write to her
on the inside. Maybe I should do that, you know,
maybe turn her onto the John Cobalt Show. Yeah, yeah,
she sounds like.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
She She sounds like she'd a P one listener at
John Show.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Love her. She likes animals, Yes he does.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
He does.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
He likes him with sauce, Yes, exactly, exactly he does.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
But he's he's like a secret animal enthusiast.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
He's just not a big vegan enthusiast.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Right, right, right, right.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
You'd probably eat a vegan if he had the opportunity.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Very true.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, we're live today at BJ's Restaurant in brew House
in West Covina. We'll be out here for another for
another hour. You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
