This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's time to dive into Washington. I'm a politician, which
means I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm
not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Here we got the real problem is that our leaders
are done.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
So what I'm not going anywhere so that you train
the swap.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
what has been. You know, Mervans have always been going
a president. They're not stupid.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
A political plunder is what a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Whether people voted for you were not. Swamp Watch, They're
all countered.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
One of the big bombshell stories that came out over
the weekend was a Director of National Intelligence, Tulci Gabbard,
accusing the Obama administration of launching what she described as
a year's long coup against President Trump in an attempt
to subvert the win from twenty sixteen. She released a
bunch of declassified emails Friday and claimed that they revealed
(01:16):
a treasonous conspiracy committed by former President Obama and some
of the top security officials in his administration over the
investigation surrounding interference into the twenty sixteen election, and a
lot of it supposedly took place between Trump's win in
twenty sixteen and Trump's inauguration just a couple of months later,
(01:39):
so that we don't know if that's going to go
to court, if there would, if a judge would ever
bring up a former president on charges as serious as treason.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
What do you want first? Cocaine? Sex, or football? Why
don't I have? You're going to get all of them,
But what do you want first?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Well, in that case, let's start with the foot fotball, football.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
All right?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
President Trump over the weekend took to a Trump Social
to rail after the fact that the Commanders and the
Guardians changed their name to the Commanders and the Guardians.
Of course, the once Washington Redskins and Indians Cleveland Indians.
Did he mention the Cleveland Indians?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Did I Okay, there were a couple of different posts
about it, but he did mention Cleveland one okay.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
To the commanders, he said he may put a restriction
on the team if the name doesn't change back to
the Redskins. He said he will not facilitate a deal
for the team's new stadium to be built in Washington,
DC if they do not revert to its former name.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
He referred to.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Native Americans who have apparently told him that their heritage
and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times
are different now than they were three or four years ago.
He also said that the Cleveland Guardians should switch back
to their old name, calling out Ohio State Senate candidate
Matt Dolan, who owns the team, claiming that he lost
(03:07):
several elections because he changed the name from the Indians
to the Guardians. Lost three in erections, sorry, not erections.
There'd be a different issue over elections in a row
because of the ridiculous name change. What he doesn't understand
is that even even if he is that if he
(03:29):
changed the name back to the Cleveland Indians, he might
actually win an election make Indians great again.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
He wrote it, this is definitely like the granddad in
the lazy boy in front of the television set type
of a thing, right, Like, Yeah, nobody of a certain
age likes any sort of change, certainly with major league
sports names.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
But you just got to go with it.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Unfortunately, like that the market and he is a businessman
above above all should know that. Like and once something
is done, it's kind of done. Like if this rant
was to come out when the commanders were before they
were the commanders, like after that, when they were Washington
football the Washington football team, Like, that's the time for
this rant to land, because there was a moment, a
(04:16):
window there where maybe there could be some wiggle room
or the conversation was had. That's when the conversation was had.
There was a study from the University of Michigan and
University of California, Berkeley that found at least half of
the more than one thousand Native American surveyed were offended
by those team names.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
I mean, and here's the question, does he have the
ability to put a wrinkle in the plan to rebuild
a stadium in DC?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I don't know anything about municipal politics or jurisdiction when
it comes to the stadium, where it is in DC
and where it lies in terms of those two things,
I have no clue. He could certainly as president lean
on the local politicians to yay or nay sort of deal,
but in.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Twenty four I didn't realize this.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
So last year the Senate did pass a bipartisan BILLI
unanimous consent that would allow the federal government to lease
more than one hundred and seventy acres of land where
RFK Stadium is currently located, which would allow them the
possibility of tearing it down and building a new stadium.
They currently play in Landover, Maryland, so that's why they're
out of the DC area.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Briefly, sex, then drugs.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Some White House officials have been able to push House
Republicans to wait until the summer break before taking a
vote on the Epstein files. There has been a breath
of fresh air for the Trump administration with this whole mess.
The heat was on following the Turning Point Convention, with
gen Z calling for the release of these files. Pissed
(05:46):
off at Trump and Pam Bondy for saying there's no there,
there there is no client list. The fervor was ratcheting up,
and then the Wall Street Journal did the great service
to the President of going after him on it and
changed all of the minds back to, oh, Trump's not
the enemy, it's the media.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So that's where we're at now.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
So everybody wants to enjoy that fresh air and let
everything die down until this reaches the desks in Congress again,
and that'll happen after the August recess, at least before
any sort of vote is taken. And it would be
a non binding resolution that would call for the administration
to release the documents symbolic at bets at best.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
One of the new names, well not necessarily new name,
but name associated with this is Alan Dershowitz. He has
now publicly called for Glaine Maxwell to be questioned by
Congress what she knows about it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, his name came out last week.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
He was involved in that Jeffrey Epstein fiftieth birthday little
book that Gleainne Maxwell put together, and he had a
note in there for And my question was this last
week is when that all came out that the Wall
Street General reported on, is if I was into some
criminal activity with underage girls with you. I wouldn't put
pen to paper, sign my name and give you a
(07:08):
birthday gift of making jokes like, I would not put
that in writing that we had a friendship, if that's
what we were into.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
All I would imagine is there's an assumption of untouchability.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Perhaps, I mean, that's a great assumption.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
That's like crazy assumption of it's one thing to do
it and think you're going to get away with it,
to put but to put it in writing that you're
friends with this person so much so that you're included
in their fiftieth birthday album.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, I don't know, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Oh, and Hunter Biden says that that bag of cocaine
found in the White House in twenty twenty three was
not his. If in case you were wondering if it
was hunch of bidens, he said during an interview today,
I have been clean and sober since June of twenty nineteen.
I have not touched a drop of alcohol or a drug.
(07:59):
And I'm to be proud of that that was not
my cocaine. And if I did have cocaine, he said,
why would I bring it into the White House and
stick it into a Cubby outside the situation room in
the West Wing.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And not be blowing lines.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Why would I sign the fiftieth birthday book for Jeffrey Epstein?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
All right, hot beef and sweaty Corny.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Hey, guys, good to have you both back at the
same time.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
My daughter lives in East Vale, and there's a raccoon
and a skunk that walk around together in the evening
and nighttime eating cat food. And they're the weirdest couple,
but you never see one without the other, and they
share the bowl of cat food.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Strange. Oh, I love it. I love that. I think
I have good news for Kenna. Okay, how many times
can we say it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I don't know if it's gonna be good news, but
I kind of feel like it might be in your wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Are you ready? Yes? Starbucks? Yeah, I knew it. I
already know you. She's getting excited.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It says that the Pumpkins Spice latte will return to
the store in August. It is the most popular seasonal beverage,
so they're starting it early.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I'm so excited. I'm glad. I thought of you immediately.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
My wife saw that yesterday as we're driving home from
the Dodgers game and.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Unloaded.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Oh well, because first of all, as we're driving home,
we're looking at Brown Hills.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
She's pissed off about the Dodgers and their anemic offense. Already,
she's already like, what the hell's going on? Did Freddie
Freeman get hurt? Like Booky bets enough opportunity to be
a hero in the bottom of the night dating, Like
what even happened with him?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Play's going on?
Speaker 5 (10:04):
She sees pumpkin spice at the level, right, but she said,
we don't even have seasons here, but really, so can't
we just can we have Can we have markers where
instead of all of this stuff blending together like after
Labor Day? Sometime after Labor Day is when you get
(10:24):
your pumpkin spice on after Labor Day.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's kind of what makes it special, having to wait
for it, right, Yeah, get you know, getting a Santa
in July is just wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
It just feels wrong. I mean, I dabble in the
fall stuff before fall, but I don't go all in
until like mid September.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Now, when you say dabble, does that mean you find
some leaves that are not bright green and roll around
in them. You play with pumpkins that you have in
the seasonal closet at home.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
No, I just I light a pumpkin scented candle. Yes,
that is that's pretty dabble. That's more than dabble. That's
more than one drink. That's like at that point, my pumpkins,
nice shampoo. You might have a situation going, God, I
have an addiction, that's for sure, clearly.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Yeah, before we get into our sweaty beef and hot
corn or whatever we were talking about, we have a
chance for you to win a thousand bucks.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Now your chance to win one thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Just enter this nationwide keyword on our website Grand that's
Grand g R, a n D editor Now at KFI
AM six forty dot com, slash cash Howard buy Sweet
James Accident Attorneys if you're hurting an accident. Winning is
everything called the winning Attorneys at Sweet James one eight
hundred nine million, that's one eight hundred nine million or
sweet James dot com.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
That keyword again goes on the website. We'll do it
again an hour from I give you a chance to
win a thousand bucks and you're gonna need it if
you're gonna buy any beef.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Remember when eggs were the issue, you'd go in the
Ralphs or the Vaughns. Trader Joe's had the eggs for longer,
I feel like than other people did. Anyway, Eggs were
like eight dollars a carton or a dozen or what
have you, or twelve dollars.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It was crazy. When you've got eggs for six bucks,
you were like, yes, Well.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Now the egg prices are down because the bird flu
has been contained and the producers are building back supply,
so eggs for everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
But now it's the beef.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
The beef prices are hitting records, rising almost nine percents
in January. January, they're retailing for about nine to twenty
six a pound. Now that's nothing compared to the chicken.
Chicken is still out of control at like, you know,
thirteen fourteen dollars a pound f and U. But when
the good old beef starts rising, it's more complicated.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Obviously, record high brief beef prices have been a decade
in the making. They said that herds have been shrinking,
drought conditions are getting worse, imported beef has been on
the rise all while people are still demanding beef. Tyson
Food CEO said during their earnings call, beef is experiencing
the most challenging market conditions we have ever seen because,
(13:15):
among other things, I said, the herd sizes are low.
They're at their lowest levels in seventy four years. It
is because the gen Z cattle don't want to breed.
They're still like living at home, living at home. I
don't think quiet quitting. Part of it is that just
simply cattle ranching is not as lucrative as it once was,
(13:36):
and a lot of ranchers are just getting out of
the business.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I see, that makes sense.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Another one feed supply. We should get a cow feed
to do our part. So my wife and I actually
did that thing where you can order a part.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Of a cow. Yeah, I've got friends that do this.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
And I didn't do half a cow. I have nowhere
to put it. Couldn't even do a quarter count.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You didn't do a quarter count. I would have taken
you for a quarter count. Family like eighth of a cow.
There's two of us, right, but you have people over sure.
But that's still a lot of extra beef. Oh, you
gotta do better. You gotta clear out your beef stomach,
get it ready for consumption.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Clear out my beef stomach. I just want to repeat that,
because I'm not sure how that would work. Clear out
my beef stomach. You gotta lean into it, beef stomach.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
I still need I still need to make room after
that dessert cart that came through the Dodger Stadium last You.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Did pretty well.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
It was like watching John Candy eat the old ninety
sixer and the great outdoors.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
July has also been more humid than average, and now
corn sweat.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Is going to be an issue. Corn sweat, guys.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Corn exhales water vapor through its leaves, a process called
evappo transpiration, which exacerbates humidity in some agricultural regions.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Through the soul flower emerges from the corn stock.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, well, it happens when the tasseling the pollination, when
the flower emerges from the cornstock.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
There's a flower in your corn. Did you know that?
I did not.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Well, I guess makes sense, but I never thought about
it that way. They said some of the most depressive
heat and humidity this week is going to be in
the corn belt. Think north and South Dakota all the
way east to Ohio, and in some areas Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Dakotas,
you could have humidity levels that are at or above
(15:27):
the levels you might find in Florida. So the heat
index value, which combines temperature plus humidity to give you
sort of a feels like, could be close to one
hundred and fifteen degrees in some of those areas.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
So here's more of a feels like.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
It feels like being fully clothed in a sauna or
a steam room.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Okay, I push back on that. It's saunas are one
hundred and forty or one hundred and fifty degrees, aren't they.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, but with the humidity and all that, they said
that this pattern, I'm I'm so glad that I'm going
to Canton, Ohio next week.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Oh, you better clean out your beef stump now, girl,
because you're gonna be sweating places you didn't know could sweat.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I can't wait. I need a good sweat in public. Yeah.
That's the other thing.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Does the chargers bring back like the dark blues at
any time? Like, Yeah, I'm hoping you have some darker colors.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Nothing brings a.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Team together like mutual as sweat for an afternoon.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
You're gonna be a mess.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Good times. Paper towels, paper towels, they are God's gift
to ask sweat. I'm gonna go to ply swamp ass
two ply ye.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Extra absorbency. I didn't know about plies for paper towels.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Well how about this, then you double up. Thank you
get the full size.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Don't do those little third kind two weeks with no
ass shaming, And.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I'm not shaming.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
I'm just suggesting. I didn't say anything yesterday.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You did not. You did not.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Okay, all right, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on
demand from KFI AM six forty robin.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Are you going through something you don't have to say
us or no? She's just gonna smile.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Oh man, definitely, that's a that's a strong ass. President
Trump ish if you have any feelings about anything. Gary's
a really good sounding board.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Talk about a listener. He's so bad to me, He's
really good. I love it.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
President Trump is threatening to hold up a stadium deal
for the football team in Washington if it doesn't restore
its old name. Trump posted on truth Social that the
Washington Commanders should refer to the Redskins and the Cleveland
Guardians should go back to the Indians, and later in
the day threatened to he threatened the deal that the
NFL team has in terms of trying to get a
(18:04):
new stadium built in the area. Commanders and the Guardians
change their names a couple of years ago after you.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Know what, while we're at it, forty nine Ers should
not be in Santa Clara. They should reopen Keysar Stadium
and bring them back to the city.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Does that is it saying.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Screw South San Francisco, screw the Santa Clara and the
South Let's just bring them right back to Golden Gate Park.
Of course, if we're on a list of things that
we want to should to go back to in the
world of sports.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
What would you like? You want to see the Giants
go back to the polo fields, the polo grounds. I mean,
while we're.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
While we're on this wish list, SuperSonics bring the SuperSonics back.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
That actually would be great, YEA that I would be
get the.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
A's out of the river Cats home and put them
back in Oakland.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Also fantastic. I'll play this game all day.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Because you know what, you want things to be the
way that you remember them when you were younger, And
I get it, but how much younger?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Much much younger?
Speaker 5 (19:06):
So you want to do away with the Colorado Rockies,
the Arizona Diamonds, the Tampa Base.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
The Panther, the Carolina Panthers. Come on, Carolina, what come on?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Harvard is also in federal court challenging two point six
billion dollars in funding cuts by the Trump administration. These
cuts followed Harvard's rejection of a series of demands from
a federal anti Semitism task force. The Trump administration has said,
we're not retaliating that these clut these cuts align with
administration policies.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
When they take people's clothes off on soap operas like
you'll see on KCBS right now, it makes me uncomfortable
because these are people that should not be naked like
they're you know, they're not ready to be naked on
camera yet. They're not like you know, the rock or
you know, Jennifer Aniston. They're not ready for that. And
(19:58):
they and here they are on the soap where they
take off their clothes. You know, it'd be like if
if Kenna came into your hair and told you to
take off your top.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You're not ready for that.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I'm more ready now than I have ever been. Oh really, mentally, we.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Got some work done in that department on vacation, listen,
spent a lot of time topless.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
I also realize, if I'm going to walk down the
west coast of on a poly beach in Espeedo, just
don't have my belly hanging over the top of it.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
And anything short of that, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, well most men have that. A lot of men
get to a certain age and that's where the fact
goes right.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
In the belly. That's why you fight against it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
So how was your speedo situation? Did you break all
four or did you settle on two?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Or did you I did the white one and the
checkered one. Was that the white and red check? Or
was that the white end? It was like an orange.
It was like Tennessee orange.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Oh okay, oh yeah, you can get those at Tennessee.
Well that's nice. So that worked out. They fit you
well and he felt comfortable and confident. I mean, if
you don't, if you are not careful, like by the
end of the day, they'll sag, they'll get a little saggy.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
But for the most.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Part, honey, your speedo did not sag in the ass department.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'll say that.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
There's no way your speedo would sag in the ass department.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Not re No size of that thing. Oh oh, it
doesn't get smaller, thank you, little col rally A little
big dumper? Is that what you're calling me? Hey, big
dumper came up huge in that contest the home run. Yeah,
not the big dump? Why does he like? Honestly, how
did he get that nickname? How do you think he
(21:49):
got that nickname? I don't know. That's why I'm asking.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Did he take a dump and people looked at it
or did he just talk about it?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
It's just the size of his of the backside. Oh
really yeah? Oh oh so it's just like the size
of his He has a big ass. All catchers have
big asses, that's what they do, right. You have to, sure, man,
don't have to, but it's kind of have to.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
You can name me a catcher with no ass buster. Posey,
he didn't have a big butt.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Are you sure? Yes? Googling? Are you what are you
going to google? What do you put into the Google
machine to check that out?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Foster posey butt. Oh, you're right, not sizable. You're right
Will Smith. Will Smith played for Space. Oh you mean
that other one.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
The catcher for the Dodgers. Oh, I thought you're talking
about Will Smith from Fresh Prince.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Will Clark is think you think Will Clark and needs
her medication time.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Now it's time.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Nap time has approached quickly. We didn't see it coming.
But man, when it's here, somebody draw the shades real quick,
real quick.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Uh. Oh, we got to talk about this cold play thing.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Also, Oh my god, I don't understand why we're still
talking about this. And I feel kind of like Handle
a little bit here because stay with me, follow my flowchart.
Sometimes Handle gets bored of like big stories.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Like he'll be the first to admit it.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
A big story will happen, and he'll be like, I
don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
It's like, what do you mean I want to talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I don't really understand why it's such a big deal,
but everybody's talking about it. This is that story for me.
I don't get it. I didn't get it when it happened.
I didn't ever. I had never heard of astronomer. I
don't know who these two people are CEOs have affairs
all the time because they're dirty and they've got nothing
but money and they think they're above morals.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Like this is all not news to me.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
So the fact that this totally captivated the entire world
and the entire Internet and all the memes which I
en is mind blowing. And the fact that this guy
stepped down from his job, Like, dude, just because we
all know you're an a hole now doesn't make you
any less, doesn't make you any less proficient at what
you do. You're still a CEO, You're still good at
(24:14):
what you do. You're just now an open a hole.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You were you were an acceptable CEO two weeks.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Ago, right, Like I don't get this at all, Like.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I don't get the reaction at all.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
And the best part about this story is these two
people who are worth so much money on their own
end together and are screwing around on their families. They
have such big egos that when they were canoodling at
the Coldplay concert and they were on the JumboTron, they
thought that everybody knew who they were, and so they
(24:48):
hit the ground like they were being shot at in Fallujah.
Nobody would have known if they just didn't freak out.
It was their egos that started this, and their egos
that ended everything.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Very sad story.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Malcolm Jamal Warner has died. Everybody, at least my age.
Everybody knows him as a Theo the from The Cosby Show,
but he's done a lot since then. Died on a
family vacation in Costa Rica at the age of fifty.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Four, asphyxia from drowning.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
An accidental drowning. Yeah, so kind of a strange story.
The other one is an update. KTLA is reporting those
three deputies who are killed in that explosion just on
Friday had X rayed some grenades that apparently were found
in a storage unit in Santa Monica and believed that
(25:48):
they were inert and then as part of a training
exercise on Friday, they were cutting one of the grenades
in half and that's when the thing exploded and killed
them instantly.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
So the cold play affair heard round the globe. What
is your take on this?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
All?
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Right?
Speaker 5 (26:07):
So I agree with you. I think that there's something
to be said about the assumption that everybody sees them,
and I don't know if you're in an environment baseball game.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
We saw it yesterday.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
People kids would see their face on the big screen
and like not know how to react to it, and
they kind of freak out, wah looking they pointed, they're
not looking at the right place. And I mean, it's
an odd it's just an odd thing in a situation
like that to see your face on a big screen.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
But we would never for a millisecond believe anybody would
recognize us.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
That is true, that that is ae thousand percent true.
So the reaction that they had where the guy drops
down below whatever, where the woman turns her back, like
we're you're in public for one thing, Like if you're
afraid why you're that old.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
And you're affair to go to a Cold Play concert
and canoodle, then you're asking for it. Yeah, if you're
hiding this, then go to a days in in Glendale
with a Cold Play playlist and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Here's the other thing about this guy. I don't know
much about her. The chief people officer, which is a
term that I think should be stricken from all humanity.
It's an awful, arrogant, stupid you're just the head of HR.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Just when did human become a dirty word? I don't know,
is human bad?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Now? Is that like othering people like, don't call me
a human?
Speaker 6 (27:47):
You don't know?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Word of human is man? I don't know. That's probably it.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
But this guy's wife, right, the CEO now former CEO.
His wife had to know that this was in a
hole because within hours of this happening and blowing up
all over the internet, she took his name off of
her Facebook account, which was.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Just bizarre, But like, what a bizarre move.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
She's just waiting for some reason to get rid of
this guy and cash in on whatever she's about to
cash in on.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Well, we don't know what their prenup is.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
We know he's worth one point two billion or something
like that. I think he only made like half a
million a year or something, but is worth much more
than that paycheck. Who knows how long they've been together what.
I haven't dug into their prenup situation. But was it
you who said that they had been living apart for
a while?
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Anyway, I don't I can't confirm that, but I did
read that both the CEO and the HR, the people
that were having the affair had been living separate from
their respective spouses for some time, or at least had
separate homes.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I don't know how, why would they be hiding like that,
Why would that be so devastated?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It's just for them to hit the pavement. It's I
agree with you that it's this over.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Exaggerated belief that people know who they are.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, because if they just acted like everybody else in
a kiss cam and they continued hugging, maybe gave each
other a little kiss, the camera would have moved on
and nobody would have ever seen it. It was their
reaction of hitting the pavement that made that thing go viral.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
So there's the woman who took the video, by the way,
as a twenty eight year old woman named Grace Springer.
She happened to be in the crowd at cha Lette
Stadium the moment that those two appeared on screen, and
she said that the reason she was even recording that
moment of the concert is that she wanted to see
(29:47):
herself on the big screen, And she says, I love
to capture moments, so that's why my phone was out
in the first place, and at first didn't realize what
she had seen.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I mean and what was then posted on the internet.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
But she said, in the moment when I filmed it,
I didn't think much of it, but everyone was kind
of chattering. There's fifty thousand people at the concert, so
at the moment that probably was one of those funny
things that you don't expect to see at a concert.
But she said it wasn't until after that I was
debriefing the moment with my friends and said, let's review
the footage and let's see if it really looks that bad.
(30:21):
And it does, because remember Chris Martin on from the
stage sees that moment on the and says, uh, either
they're cheating or they're super embarrassed or whatever I said,
and it was. She feels zero problem about posting that
thing on the internet.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Because it wasn't like one of them that was shy.
Sometimes that'll happen with the kiss cam where one of
them will get shy and go, oh, you know, put
hide her face or whatever. This was both of them
acting like. This was just devastation and.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Listen, it's one of those things that it just it
catches fire. There's no real VS value in it. I mean, unfortunately,
you've got his wife and kids that are going through
this and her husband.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
No, dad's an a whole. That's the other thing. The
people who.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Work, sure they do. Kids know when their dad's an a.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Hole, but they don't ever think that he's Oh I
don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
No, no, no, But I mean he's shown himself, probably to
his children, about who he is. If all the rumors
are true that people at Astronomer whatever say this guy
creates a toxic environment. He's awful. This is great, we're
all enjoying it. But there's there's a I was gonna
say value, there's there's a.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
There's a quality about a situation like this that can
be humorous. And part of the reason it's humorous to
us is because we're not involved and we don't know
these people. They're complete strangers to us. But the way
the Internet reacts to these things can breathe life into people. Yeah,
it can be such a that's exactly even the biggest,
the most diametrically opposed politically, diametrically, people can come together
(32:01):
and celebrate.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
It brought us all together.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Unfortunately for them, do you think they'll be on Dancing
with the Stars with the guy that survived that plane
crash in India.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
One of them will be all right, we'll talk trending.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
I don't think she ever works in HR again. I'm
just going to go out on a limb and say that, well,
first of all, it's people of sorry, people officing or
whatever she's doing.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
We'll talk trending when we come back. You've been listening
to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's time to dive into Washington. I'm a politician, which
means I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm
not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Here we got the real problem is that our leaders
are done.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
So what I'm not going anywhere so that you train
the swap.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
what has been. You know, Mervans have always been going
a president. They're not stupid.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
A political plunder is what a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Whether people voted for you were not. Swamp Watch, They're
all countered.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Swamp Watch brought to you by the Good Feet Store.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
One of the big bombshell stories that came out over
the weekend was a Director of National Intelligence, Tulci Gabbard,
accusing the Obama administration of launching what she described as
a year's long coup against President Trump in an attempt
to subvert the win from twenty sixteen. She released a
bunch of declassified emails Friday and claimed that they revealed
(01:16):
a treasonous conspiracy committed by former President Obama and some
of the top security officials in his administration over the
investigation surrounding interference into the twenty sixteen election, and a
lot of it supposedly took place between Trump's win in
twenty sixteen and Trump's inauguration just a couple of months later,
(01:39):
so that we don't know if that's going to go
to court, if there would, if a judge would ever
bring up a former president on charges as serious as treason.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
What do you want first? Cocaine? Sex, or football? Why
don't I have? You're going to get all of them,
But what do you want first?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Well, in that case, let's start with the foot fotball, football.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
All right?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
President Trump over the weekend took to a Trump Social
to rail after the fact that the Commanders and the
Guardians changed their name to the Commanders and the Guardians.
Of course, the once Washington Redskins and Indians Cleveland Indians.
Did he mention the Cleveland Indians?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Did I Okay, there were a couple of different posts
about it, but he did mention Cleveland one okay.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
To the commanders, he said he may put a restriction
on the team if the name doesn't change back to
the Redskins. He said he will not facilitate a deal
for the team's new stadium to be built in Washington,
DC if they do not revert to its former name.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
He referred to.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Native Americans who have apparently told him that their heritage
and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times
are different now than they were three or four years ago.
He also said that the Cleveland Guardians should switch back
to their old name, calling out Ohio State Senate candidate
Matt Dolan, who owns the team, claiming that he lost
(03:07):
several elections because he changed the name from the Indians
to the Guardians. Lost three in erections, sorry, not erections.
There'd be a different issue over elections in a row
because of the ridiculous name change. What he doesn't understand
is that even even if he is that if he
(03:29):
changed the name back to the Cleveland Indians, he might
actually win an election make Indians great again.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
He wrote it, this is definitely like the granddad in
the lazy boy in front of the television set type
of a thing, right, Like, Yeah, nobody of a certain
age likes any sort of change, certainly with major league
sports names.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
But you just got to go with it.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Unfortunately, like that the market and he is a businessman
above above all should know that. Like and once something
is done, it's kind of done. Like if this rant
was to come out when the commanders were before they
were the commanders, like after that, when they were Washington
football the Washington football team, Like, that's the time for
this rant to land, because there was a moment, a
(04:16):
window there where maybe there could be some wiggle room
or the conversation was had. That's when the conversation was had.
There was a study from the University of Michigan and
University of California, Berkeley that found at least half of
the more than one thousand Native American surveyed were offended
by those team names.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
I mean, and here's the question, does he have the
ability to put a wrinkle in the plan to rebuild
a stadium in DC?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I don't know anything about municipal politics or jurisdiction when
it comes to the stadium, where it is in DC
and where it lies in terms of those two things,
I have no clue. He could certainly as president lean
on the local politicians to yay or nay sort of deal,
but in.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Twenty four I didn't realize this.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
So last year the Senate did pass a bipartisan BILLI
unanimous consent that would allow the federal government to lease
more than one hundred and seventy acres of land where
RFK Stadium is currently located, which would allow them the
possibility of tearing it down and building a new stadium.
They currently play in Landover, Maryland, so that's why they're
out of the DC area.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Briefly, sex, then drugs.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Some White House officials have been able to push House
Republicans to wait until the summer break before taking a
vote on the Epstein files. There has been a breath
of fresh air for the Trump administration with this whole mess.
The heat was on following the Turning Point Convention, with
gen Z calling for the release of these files. Pissed
(05:46):
off at Trump and Pam Bondy for saying there's no there,
there there is no client list. The fervor was ratcheting up,
and then the Wall Street Journal did the great service
to the President of going after him on it and
changed all of the minds back to, oh, Trump's not
the enemy, it's the media.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So that's where we're at now.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
So everybody wants to enjoy that fresh air and let
everything die down until this reaches the desks in Congress again,
and that'll happen after the August recess, at least before
any sort of vote is taken. And it would be
a non binding resolution that would call for the administration
to release the documents symbolic at bets at best.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
One of the new names, well not necessarily new name,
but name associated with this is Alan Dershowitz. He has
now publicly called for Glaine Maxwell to be questioned by
Congress what she knows about it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, his name came out last week.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
He was involved in that Jeffrey Epstein fiftieth birthday little
book that Gleainne Maxwell put together, and he had a
note in there for And my question was this last
week is when that all came out that the Wall
Street General reported on, is if I was into some
criminal activity with underage girls with you. I wouldn't put
pen to paper, sign my name and give you a
(07:08):
birthday gift of making jokes like, I would not put
that in writing that we had a friendship, if that's
what we were into.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
All I would imagine is there's an assumption of untouchability.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Perhaps, I mean, that's a great assumption.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
That's like crazy assumption of it's one thing to do
it and think you're going to get away with it,
to put but to put it in writing that you're
friends with this person so much so that you're included
in their fiftieth birthday album.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, I don't know, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Oh, and Hunter Biden says that that bag of cocaine
found in the White House in twenty twenty three was
not his. If in case you were wondering if it
was hunch of bidens, he said during an interview today,
I have been clean and sober since June of twenty nineteen.
I have not touched a drop of alcohol or a drug.
(07:59):
And I'm to be proud of that that was not
my cocaine. And if I did have cocaine, he said,
why would I bring it into the White House and
stick it into a Cubby outside the situation room in
the West Wing.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And not be blowing lines.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Why would I sign the fiftieth birthday book for Jeffrey Epstein?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
All right, hot beef and sweaty Corny.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Hey, guys, good to have you both back at the
same time.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
My daughter lives in East Vale, and there's a raccoon
and a skunk that walk around together in the evening
and nighttime eating cat food. And they're the weirdest couple,
but you never see one without the other, and they
share the bowl of cat food.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Strange. Oh, I love it. I love that. I think
I have good news for Kenna. Okay, how many times
can we say it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I don't know if it's gonna be good news, but
I kind of feel like it might be in your wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Are you ready? Yes? Starbucks? Yeah, I knew it. I
already know you. She's getting excited.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It says that the Pumpkins Spice latte will return to
the store in August. It is the most popular seasonal beverage,
so they're starting it early.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I'm so excited. I'm glad. I thought of you immediately.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
My wife saw that yesterday as we're driving home from
the Dodgers game and.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Unloaded.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Oh well, because first of all, as we're driving home,
we're looking at Brown Hills.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
She's pissed off about the Dodgers and their anemic offense. Already,
she's already like, what the hell's going on? Did Freddie
Freeman get hurt? Like Booky bets enough opportunity to be
a hero in the bottom of the night dating, Like
what even happened with him?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Play's going on?
Speaker 5 (10:04):
She sees pumpkin spice at the level, right, but she said,
we don't even have seasons here, but really, so can't
we just can we have Can we have markers where
instead of all of this stuff blending together like after
Labor Day? Sometime after Labor Day is when you get
(10:24):
your pumpkin spice on after Labor Day.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's kind of what makes it special, having to wait
for it, right, Yeah, get you know, getting a Santa
in July is just wrong.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
It just feels wrong. I mean, I dabble in the
fall stuff before fall, but I don't go all in
until like mid September.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Now, when you say dabble, does that mean you find
some leaves that are not bright green and roll around
in them. You play with pumpkins that you have in
the seasonal closet at home.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
No, I just I light a pumpkin scented candle. Yes,
that is that's pretty dabble. That's more than dabble. That's
more than one drink. That's like at that point, my pumpkins,
nice shampoo. You might have a situation going, God, I
have an addiction, that's for sure, clearly.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Yeah, before we get into our sweaty beef and hot
corn or whatever we were talking about, we have a
chance for you to win a thousand bucks.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Now your chance to win one thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Just enter this nationwide keyword on our website Grand that's
Grand g R, a n D editor Now at KFI
AM six forty dot com, slash cash Howard buy Sweet
James Accident Attorneys if you're hurting an accident. Winning is
everything called the winning Attorneys at Sweet James one eight
hundred nine million, that's one eight hundred nine million or
sweet James dot com.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
That keyword again goes on the website. We'll do it
again an hour from I give you a chance to
win a thousand bucks and you're gonna need it if
you're gonna buy any beef.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Remember when eggs were the issue, you'd go in the
Ralphs or the Vaughns. Trader Joe's had the eggs for longer,
I feel like than other people did. Anyway, Eggs were
like eight dollars a carton or a dozen or what
have you, or twelve dollars.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It was crazy. When you've got eggs for six bucks,
you were like, yes, Well.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Now the egg prices are down because the bird flu
has been contained and the producers are building back supply,
so eggs for everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
But now it's the beef.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
The beef prices are hitting records, rising almost nine percents
in January. January, they're retailing for about nine to twenty
six a pound. Now that's nothing compared to the chicken.
Chicken is still out of control at like, you know,
thirteen fourteen dollars a pound f and U. But when
the good old beef starts rising, it's more complicated.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Obviously, record high brief beef prices have been a decade
in the making. They said that herds have been shrinking,
drought conditions are getting worse, imported beef has been on
the rise all while people are still demanding beef. Tyson
Food CEO said during their earnings call, beef is experiencing
the most challenging market conditions we have ever seen because,
(13:15):
among other things, I said, the herd sizes are low.
They're at their lowest levels in seventy four years. It
is because the gen Z cattle don't want to breed.
They're still like living at home, living at home. I
don't think quiet quitting. Part of it is that just
simply cattle ranching is not as lucrative as it once was,
(13:36):
and a lot of ranchers are just getting out of
the business.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I see, that makes sense.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Another one feed supply. We should get a cow feed
to do our part. So my wife and I actually
did that thing where you can order a part.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Of a cow. Yeah, I've got friends that do this.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
And I didn't do half a cow. I have nowhere
to put it. Couldn't even do a quarter count.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You didn't do a quarter count. I would have taken
you for a quarter count. Family like eighth of a cow.
There's two of us, right, but you have people over sure.
But that's still a lot of extra beef. Oh, you
gotta do better. You gotta clear out your beef stomach,
get it ready for consumption.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Clear out my beef stomach. I just want to repeat that,
because I'm not sure how that would work. Clear out
my beef stomach. You gotta lean into it, beef stomach.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
I still need I still need to make room after
that dessert cart that came through the Dodger Stadium last You.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Did pretty well.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
It was like watching John Candy eat the old ninety
sixer and the great outdoors.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
July has also been more humid than average, and now
corn sweat.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Is going to be an issue. Corn sweat, guys.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Corn exhales water vapor through its leaves, a process called
evappo transpiration, which exacerbates humidity in some agricultural regions.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Through the soul flower emerges from the corn stock.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, well, it happens when the tasseling the pollination, when
the flower emerges from the cornstock.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
There's a flower in your corn. Did you know that?
I did not.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Well, I guess makes sense, but I never thought about
it that way. They said some of the most depressive
heat and humidity this week is going to be in
the corn belt. Think north and South Dakota all the
way east to Ohio, and in some areas Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Dakotas,
you could have humidity levels that are at or above
(15:27):
the levels you might find in Florida. So the heat
index value, which combines temperature plus humidity to give you
sort of a feels like, could be close to one
hundred and fifteen degrees in some of those areas.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
So here's more of a feels like.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
It feels like being fully clothed in a sauna or
a steam room.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Okay, I push back on that. It's saunas are one
hundred and forty or one hundred and fifty degrees, aren't they.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, but with the humidity and all that, they said
that this pattern, I'm I'm so glad that I'm going
to Canton, Ohio next week.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Oh, you better clean out your beef stump now, girl,
because you're gonna be sweating places you didn't know could sweat.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I can't wait. I need a good sweat in public. Yeah.
That's the other thing.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Does the chargers bring back like the dark blues at
any time? Like, Yeah, I'm hoping you have some darker colors.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Nothing brings a.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Team together like mutual as sweat for an afternoon.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
You're gonna be a mess.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Good times. Paper towels, paper towels, they are God's gift
to ask sweat. I'm gonna go to ply swamp ass
two ply ye.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Extra absorbency. I didn't know about plies for paper towels.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Well how about this, then you double up. Thank you
get the full size.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Don't do those little third kind two weeks with no
ass shaming, And.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I'm not shaming.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
I'm just suggesting. I didn't say anything yesterday.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You did not. You did not.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
Okay, all right, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on
demand from KFI AM six forty robin.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Are you going through something you don't have to say
us or no? She's just gonna smile.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Oh man, definitely, that's a that's a strong ass. President
Trump ish if you have any feelings about anything. Gary's
a really good sounding board.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Talk about a listener. He's so bad to me, He's
really good. I love it.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
President Trump is threatening to hold up a stadium deal
for the football team in Washington if it doesn't restore
its old name. Trump posted on truth Social that the
Washington Commanders should refer to the Redskins and the Cleveland
Guardians should go back to the Indians, and later in
the day threatened to he threatened the deal that the
NFL team has in terms of trying to get a
(18:04):
new stadium built in the area. Commanders and the Guardians
change their names a couple of years ago after you.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Know what, while we're at it, forty nine Ers should
not be in Santa Clara. They should reopen Keysar Stadium
and bring them back to the city.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Does that is it saying.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Screw South San Francisco, screw the Santa Clara and the
South Let's just bring them right back to Golden Gate Park.
Of course, if we're on a list of things that
we want to should to go back to in the
world of sports.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
What would you like? You want to see the Giants
go back to the polo fields, the polo grounds. I mean,
while we're.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
While we're on this wish list, SuperSonics bring the SuperSonics back.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
That actually would be great, YEA that I would be
get the.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
A's out of the river Cats home and put them
back in Oakland.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Also fantastic. I'll play this game all day.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Because you know what, you want things to be the
way that you remember them when you were younger, And
I get it, but how much younger?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Much much younger?
Speaker 5 (19:06):
So you want to do away with the Colorado Rockies,
the Arizona Diamonds, the Tampa Base.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
The Panther, the Carolina Panthers. Come on, Carolina, what come on?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Harvard is also in federal court challenging two point six
billion dollars in funding cuts by the Trump administration. These
cuts followed Harvard's rejection of a series of demands from
a federal anti Semitism task force. The Trump administration has said,
we're not retaliating that these clut these cuts align with
administration policies.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
When they take people's clothes off on soap operas like
you'll see on KCBS right now, it makes me uncomfortable
because these are people that should not be naked like
they're you know, they're not ready to be naked on
camera yet. They're not like you know, the rock or
you know, Jennifer Aniston. They're not ready for that. And
(19:58):
they and here they are on the soap where they
take off their clothes. You know, it'd be like if
if Kenna came into your hair and told you to
take off your top.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You're not ready for that.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I'm more ready now than I have ever been. Oh really, mentally, we.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Got some work done in that department on vacation, listen,
spent a lot of time topless.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
I also realize, if I'm going to walk down the
west coast of on a poly beach in Espeedo, just
don't have my belly hanging over the top of it.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
And anything short of that, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, well most men have that. A lot of men
get to a certain age and that's where the fact
goes right.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
In the belly. That's why you fight against it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
So how was your speedo situation? Did you break all
four or did you settle on two?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Or did you I did the white one and the
checkered one. Was that the white and red check? Or
was that the white end? It was like an orange.
It was like Tennessee orange.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Oh okay, oh yeah, you can get those at Tennessee.
Well that's nice. So that worked out. They fit you
well and he felt comfortable and confident. I mean, if
you don't, if you are not careful, like by the
end of the day, they'll sag, they'll get a little saggy.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
But for the most.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Part, honey, your speedo did not sag in the ass department.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'll say that.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
There's no way your speedo would sag in the ass department.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Not re No size of that thing. Oh oh, it
doesn't get smaller, thank you, little col rally A little
big dumper? Is that what you're calling me? Hey, big
dumper came up huge in that contest the home run. Yeah,
not the big dump? Why does he like? Honestly, how
did he get that nickname? How do you think he
(21:49):
got that nickname? I don't know. That's why I'm asking.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Did he take a dump and people looked at it
or did he just talk about it?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
It's just the size of his of the backside. Oh
really yeah? Oh oh so it's just like the size
of his He has a big ass. All catchers have
big asses, that's what they do, right. You have to, sure, man,
don't have to, but it's kind of have to.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
You can name me a catcher with no ass buster. Posey,
he didn't have a big butt.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Are you sure? Yes? Googling? Are you what are you
going to google? What do you put into the Google
machine to check that out?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Foster posey butt. Oh, you're right, not sizable. You're right
Will Smith. Will Smith played for Space. Oh you mean
that other one.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
The catcher for the Dodgers. Oh, I thought you're talking
about Will Smith from Fresh Prince.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Will Clark is think you think Will Clark and needs
her medication time.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Now it's time.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Nap time has approached quickly. We didn't see it coming.
But man, when it's here, somebody draw the shades real quick,
real quick.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Uh. Oh, we got to talk about this cold play thing.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Also, Oh my god, I don't understand why we're still
talking about this. And I feel kind of like Handle
a little bit here because stay with me, follow my flowchart.
Sometimes Handle gets bored of like big stories.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Like he'll be the first to admit it.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
A big story will happen, and he'll be like, I
don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
It's like, what do you mean I want to talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I don't really understand why it's such a big deal,
but everybody's talking about it. This is that story for me.
I don't get it. I didn't get it when it happened.
I didn't ever. I had never heard of astronomer. I
don't know who these two people are CEOs have affairs
all the time because they're dirty and they've got nothing
but money and they think they're above morals.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Like this is all not news to me.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
So the fact that this totally captivated the entire world
and the entire Internet and all the memes which I
en is mind blowing. And the fact that this guy
stepped down from his job, Like, dude, just because we
all know you're an a hole now doesn't make you
any less, doesn't make you any less proficient at what
you do. You're still a CEO, You're still good at
(24:14):
what you do. You're just now an open a hole.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
You were you were an acceptable CEO two weeks.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Ago, right, Like I don't get this at all, Like.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I don't get the reaction at all.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
And the best part about this story is these two
people who are worth so much money on their own
end together and are screwing around on their families. They
have such big egos that when they were canoodling at
the Coldplay concert and they were on the JumboTron, they
thought that everybody knew who they were, and so they
(24:48):
hit the ground like they were being shot at in Fallujah.
Nobody would have known if they just didn't freak out.
It was their egos that started this, and their egos
that ended everything.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Very sad story.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Malcolm Jamal Warner has died. Everybody, at least my age.
Everybody knows him as a Theo the from The Cosby Show,
but he's done a lot since then. Died on a
family vacation in Costa Rica at the age of fifty.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Four, asphyxia from drowning.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
An accidental drowning. Yeah, so kind of a strange story.
The other one is an update. KTLA is reporting those
three deputies who are killed in that explosion just on
Friday had X rayed some grenades that apparently were found
in a storage unit in Santa Monica and believed that
(25:48):
they were inert and then as part of a training
exercise on Friday, they were cutting one of the grenades
in half and that's when the thing exploded and killed
them instantly.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
So the cold play affair heard round the globe. What
is your take on this?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
All?
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Right?
Speaker 5 (26:07):
So I agree with you. I think that there's something
to be said about the assumption that everybody sees them,
and I don't know if you're in an environment baseball game.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
We saw it yesterday.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
People kids would see their face on the big screen
and like not know how to react to it, and
they kind of freak out, wah looking they pointed, they're
not looking at the right place. And I mean, it's
an odd it's just an odd thing in a situation
like that to see your face on a big screen.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
But we would never for a millisecond believe anybody would
recognize us.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
That is true, that that is ae thousand percent true.
So the reaction that they had where the guy drops
down below whatever, where the woman turns her back, like
we're you're in public for one thing, Like if you're
afraid why you're that old.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
And you're affair to go to a Cold Play concert
and canoodle, then you're asking for it. Yeah, if you're
hiding this, then go to a days in in Glendale
with a Cold Play playlist and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Here's the other thing about this guy. I don't know
much about her. The chief people officer, which is a
term that I think should be stricken from all humanity.
It's an awful, arrogant, stupid you're just the head of HR.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Just when did human become a dirty word? I don't know,
is human bad?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Now? Is that like othering people like, don't call me
a human?
Speaker 6 (27:47):
You don't know?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Word of human is man? I don't know. That's probably it.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
But this guy's wife, right, the CEO now former CEO.
His wife had to know that this was in a
hole because within hours of this happening and blowing up
all over the internet, she took his name off of
her Facebook account, which was.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Just bizarre, But like, what a bizarre move.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
She's just waiting for some reason to get rid of
this guy and cash in on whatever she's about to
cash in on.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Well, we don't know what their prenup is.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
We know he's worth one point two billion or something
like that. I think he only made like half a
million a year or something, but is worth much more
than that paycheck. Who knows how long they've been together what.
I haven't dug into their prenup situation. But was it
you who said that they had been living apart for
a while?
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Anyway, I don't I can't confirm that, but I did
read that both the CEO and the HR, the people
that were having the affair had been living separate from
their respective spouses for some time, or at least had
separate homes.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I don't know how, why would they be hiding like that,
Why would that be so devastated?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It's just for them to hit the pavement. It's I
agree with you that it's this over.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Exaggerated belief that people know who they are.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, because if they just acted like everybody else in
a kiss cam and they continued hugging, maybe gave each
other a little kiss, the camera would have moved on
and nobody would have ever seen it. It was their
reaction of hitting the pavement that made that thing go viral.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
So there's the woman who took the video, by the way,
as a twenty eight year old woman named Grace Springer.
She happened to be in the crowd at cha Lette
Stadium the moment that those two appeared on screen, and
she said that the reason she was even recording that
moment of the concert is that she wanted to see
(29:47):
herself on the big screen, And she says, I love
to capture moments, so that's why my phone was out
in the first place, and at first didn't realize what
she had seen.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I mean and what was then posted on the internet.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
But she said, in the moment when I filmed it,
I didn't think much of it, but everyone was kind
of chattering. There's fifty thousand people at the concert, so
at the moment that probably was one of those funny
things that you don't expect to see at a concert.
But she said it wasn't until after that I was
debriefing the moment with my friends and said, let's review
the footage and let's see if it really looks that bad.
(30:21):
And it does, because remember Chris Martin on from the
stage sees that moment on the and says, uh, either
they're cheating or they're super embarrassed or whatever I said,
and it was. She feels zero problem about posting that
thing on the internet.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Because it wasn't like one of them that was shy.
Sometimes that'll happen with the kiss cam where one of
them will get shy and go, oh, you know, put
hide her face or whatever. This was both of them
acting like. This was just devastation and.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Listen, it's one of those things that it just it
catches fire. There's no real VS value in it. I mean, unfortunately,
you've got his wife and kids that are going through
this and her husband.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
No, dad's an a whole. That's the other thing. The
people who.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Work, sure they do. Kids know when their dad's an a.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Hole, but they don't ever think that he's Oh I
don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
No, no, no, But I mean he's shown himself, probably to
his children, about who he is. If all the rumors
are true that people at Astronomer whatever say this guy
creates a toxic environment. He's awful. This is great, we're
all enjoying it. But there's there's a I was gonna
say value, there's there's a.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
There's a quality about a situation like this that can
be humorous. And part of the reason it's humorous to
us is because we're not involved and we don't know
these people. They're complete strangers to us. But the way
the Internet reacts to these things can breathe life into people. Yeah,
it can be such a that's exactly even the biggest,
the most diametrically opposed politically, diametrically, people can come together
(32:01):
and celebrate.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
It brought us all together.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Unfortunately for them, do you think they'll be on Dancing
with the Stars with the guy that survived that plane
crash in India.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
One of them will be all right, we'll talk trending.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
I don't think she ever works in HR again. I'm
just going to go out on a limb and say that, well,
first of all, it's people of sorry, people officing or
whatever she's doing.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
We'll talk trending when we come back. You've been listening
