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. His mother said he used to
steal his brother's shoulder pads and run into telephone polls
on purpose.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Mean I love stories like that.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I knew kids like that, sure, but like, how how
long can you run like that?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
With that kind of physicality and violence?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Do you remember the movie Parenthood with Steve Martin, Mary
Steve Virgin. Yeah, there was a kid in that show, yes,
who put the bucket on his head and would run
into stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, that's what I envision.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I credit that movie for basically making my life decision
not to have kids.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I think my wife is too much fell in love
with Steve Steve Martin and then.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Married you because of it.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
You've all before I knew you, you reminded me of
Steve Martin, a young Steve Martin, or.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You knew me before this show? Oh oh oh really,
I don't think i've you look before I knew you
like a young Steve Martin. Now that I know you
have zero comedic talent, you look nothing like him.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Oh thank you I just got one thing to say,
what moyst Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Where did that come from, sir? Nobody asked for that.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Okay. I'm with Gary on this one. Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals.
And remember Trinan was warming up in the bullpen excellently.
It's lucky he threw that ball away.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Excellent.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
Good Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I'll say this, I think this is probably the best
descriptor of what I'm trying to say here.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
And acknowledge, of course, that the Dodgers won the game
last goo.
Speaker 7 (01:43):
Good morning, Gary Shannon. This is Angie in Ontario, so
technically Gary is correct. The Dodgers did not do anything
to win that game. Both runs were unearned runs. But
that's baseball. Touch the plate more. I guess today the
Phillies test it once. We tested twice and we're going
(02:06):
to the championship series.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, I mean might.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Sometimes games are one with offense, sometimes they're one with defense.
Like I mentioned at the top of the show, the
two runs that scored or off a walk in an error.
You did not see the Dodgers explosive bats last night
at all. Some games they'll see some games will hit ten.
They hit ten against the team before the Phillies. Who
do they play before the Phillies?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
The Reds?
Speaker 8 (02:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I mean sometimes the bats come alive. They did not
last night. But not all games are won and lost
the same way. We'll see, we'll see what goes on.
Go Cubbies.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Well, my team is in can Kun right now, so exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
But I don't think that your take on the team
on that win or loss or what have you. I
don't think that that was biased. I don't think that's
coming from a Giants fan. I think that's coming from
an independent baseball observer.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And if you're in if you're in the locker room,
if you're a fan, your team is going to the
championship series. The league championship series is an amazing accomplishment.
Good for them how.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Many times, like the eighth time.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
But if you're if you're a player and you're in
that locker room, I mean you're still excited. Obviously you're
going to the championship series. But how great would it
have been had it been and Andy Pa has doubled
down the line? Yeah, or Taoscar Hernandez home run or
something like.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
That, doesn't matter. They're all getting sprayed with champagne. But
it burns just the same, and it burns so.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Good, all right.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Kevin Costner.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Kevin Costner apparently got into what's called a heated altercation
with a Yellowstone co star, and this was Wes Bentley, Yes,
the one who plays the son that everybody hates, the
Attorney General. This fisticuffs resulted in the production being briefly
shut down. Of course, Kevin Costner left everyone Knew about
(03:57):
It Yellowstone ahead of the second half of the fifth
and five final season, resulting in his character being killed
off spoiler alert. But his exit came amid reports of
a falling out with Taylor Sheridan over scheduling issues. There
was a new report about Costner in the Hollywood Reporter.
The headline is how Kevin Costner lost Hollywood. It's exhaustive,
(04:20):
but in that report they claimed that Kevin Costner was
pushing Bentley, who plays the Sun on Yellowstone, and was
pushing him to ditch Sheridan's script in one scene in
favor of Costner's own take, but that didn't go over
with the co star, Wes Bentley.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, Wes Bentley's comes in and he says, hey, buddy
to Kevin Costner. I signed up for a Taylor Sheridan show,
not a Kevin Costner show.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Kevin didn't like that, and he lunged at him.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No fists were thrown, but they were in each other's faces,
pushing and shoving and just getting hot until they had
to be separated. Another co star, Kelly Riley, was in
tears over it.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I said she was Irish.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Oh, she was in tears over that.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I said she was Irish. She's English apparently.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Wow, so you're just calling English people Irish people.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Now all people in the UK look alike?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Whoa Yet two people tell you you were wrong emphatically
today and now you're signing up for more of that.
Bring it on, Bring it on. You know I'm leaving
early today. You're going to be alone in this battle.
I will not be in.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
The foxhole with you to read you scripture.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Well, that's why we do.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
What you learned this week on the Gary and Shannon
Show that I am perennially wrong.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
That's one thing.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
They said.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
The incident with Wes was the line in the sand.
Everything was different after that. Everyone loved Wes, which is funny.
So everyone loved the character that played the attorney general
who was like the most hated character interesting, So that
really made Taylor share an upset that Kevin Costner and
Taylor shared and butted heads from there on out, it
got very awkward. You can kind of get that vibe
(06:08):
from John Dutton in the show, Like.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I was kind of because I knew.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I knew that he had kind of gotten tired of
it and there was a falling out or whatever, and
that's why he was killed off and he wasn't in
the whole last season. And I remember, like leading up
to that, I was like, yeah, Kevin Costner looks kind
of pissed off, Like he looks like he's over this show.
But maybe that was just my mind making things up,
but I kind of got that ny going to end,
I just got the vibe that he seemed over it.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Costner announced his departure June of last year, said it
was a scheduling conflict with his huge Western horizon. Said
I did it for five years. I wanted to work
more than once a year. We lost an entire year.
At one point I thought that can't happen again. He
claimed that he left filming of his movie for a
whole month in order to shoot the rest of season
(06:56):
five of Yellowstone, but when he arrived there was no
and that's when things imploded. Taylor Sheridan said that Costner's
decision disappointed him as it truncates the closure of his character.
It was a clunky way to get rid of John
Dutton the way that they did so, but how else
are you gonna what do you do? Do you just
(07:20):
I honestly thought that there was a time when they
would just not do a season five, just leave that
thing open, because in all honesty, it brings with that
sort of mystery, brings with it Artistically, I think it
brings a good lot of questions and it continues the discussion. Financially,
(07:40):
it makes zero sense. They were rolling in the money
and there's no way that they would not make a
season five.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
A couple of stories that we are following. Nobel Prize
for Peace was handed out today. It actually went to
Maria Corina, Shadow of Venezuela. They said that she is
a woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid
a growing darkness. She dedicated her prize to the Venezuelan people,
and to President Trump for his decisive support of the cause.
(08:15):
New York's Attorney General Letitia James indicted by a federal
grand jury in Virginia. We'll talk more about it when
we get into swamp Watch, because this case, they said,
actually echoes ironically the case that she brought against Donald Trump.
She was charged with one count of bank fraud one
count of making false statements to a financial institution. The
(08:36):
President has said that she falsely claimed that a home
in Virginia was her second residence, which allowed her to
get more favorable loan terms, and that she had rented
the property, et cetera. So we'll talk more about it
again at the top of the top of the hour.
Dodgers do advance to the NLCS. They won an extra
innings against the Phillies and the Cubs also beat the
(08:57):
Brewers that actually forced a game five. Whoever wins tomorrow's
game between the Brewers and Cubs five pm in Milwaukee
actually will face the Dodgers in the NLCS starting on Monday,
and we don't know where yet because if the Brewers win,
it's going to be in Milwaukee. If the Cubs win,
it will be in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
And what time is that game again?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Five o'clock, five o'clock tonight at five Tiger's Mariners game five.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You're doing it at five o'clock our time? Yeah wow,
So that's it's a late start. Is that always the
way it is on the East Coast? Like eight o'clock
at night?
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah wow. That's why you love living on the West Coast.
It is sports.

this stuff.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Katie Porter is having a rough week.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
First it was the sit down interview she did where
she appears to cut it off because she doesn't want
to answer questions.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
She gets combative with the reporter. It was a bad look.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Then in older video surfaces showing her lose her s
on a staffer for getting into quoting her quoting here,
getting into her effing shot, Get out of my shot.
It's an awful look. And now we've got another one
where she's frustrated with staff members over bright studio lighting.
So this is the third controversial video featuring the front
(10:57):
runner for California governor this week.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Oh yes, this is.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Why I didn't want to I need the lights off,
the bright lights. I'm so sorry, but I am about
to get on bad. I need you to turn these offs.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That are killing me.
Speaker 9 (11:11):
Hang on one second, everybody, lights go completely off. Yes, yes,
we should have yes, Okay, everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I'm not that dark. And she's doing that slow simmer
thing where she's just a man's Oh.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
You can tell.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
She goes from zero to one hundred and twenty real quick.
You can see why she dumped hot mashed potatoes on
her now ex husband.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
She has a.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Temper problem and she did go to anger management at point,
and this is what the product does. She should get
her money back. Well, I wonder what she's not yelling no,
but she as you said, that is a quiet simmer.
That is the Palisades fire between the the days of
January first and January seventh. She's about to erupt and
(12:04):
she's going to go scorch to earth on those people. Gosh, wow,
I wonder how quickly how many times a day she
goes from zero to one hundred like that, Like, I
wonder if it's quick to happen, or if like that's
the third such instance where she's she's tested, she's frustrated,
she's annoyed with people or whatever, and then she blows,
(12:26):
or if she just blows and blows and blows.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
And we know people, right, I'm sure everybody has somebody
like this in their life where if you point out this,
I mean, I I'd love to know what's going on
today with Katie Porter and the people that she's talking
to running for governors, who keeps.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Making this stuff and she's demanding to know the leak
and all.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Well, when you point out to someone that they are angry,
or that they look back. You know, you're you're you're
completely overblowing the situation. Nobody ever comes down from that
and they go, oh, you're right, I'm sorry. I shouldn't.
If she's doing this over something like lighting in a
(13:06):
shot on a zoom call that I mean, that doesn't
really matter. You tell her she's making the mountain out
of a mole hill and she's gonna make Mount Everest.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I don't think that she takes to that con. I
don't think anyone's telling her, hey, you're you're acting crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
It's a little too much.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Like sometimes she goes like this, you want mashed potatoes?
Is that what you want?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
You want the mashed potatoes. You'll do that to me sometimes.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
So you'll be like, okay, all right, and you'll put
your hands up like Katie Porter puts their hands up,
and you'll be like, all right, this is unnecessarily aggressive,
and I will be like, you know what, you're right,
like I'm overreacting or what have you? Right, don't I
don't double down. I usually backpedal, right.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I'll say the second or third time I say something
is usually when you go okay, you're probably right, but
immediately sometimes double down. That's not sometimes, yes, Can I
ask about the mashed potatoes?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So there was a report I believe it was in
the divorce when Katie Porter got divorced from her now
ex husband, where he was claiming all sorts of abuse
and says that she has an anger problem. She flies
off the handle. At one point she dumped hot mashed
potatoes on him.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Well, it's you know what it is is? My problem
with it is this. I love mashed potatoes me too.
I think they're delicious. My husband makes the best mashed
potatoes with all the garlic and all the butter, and
it's my favorite at the holidays. And for her to
waste them like that is egregious.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Uh expect. I don't know if it's true or not.
I'm just predicting. There will be at least two poles
coming out next week.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
In the Governor's Raven. If they were planning it, she
won't be in love with it. You don't want her
up on that pole. Well, you don't need her on
that pole.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm not sure that that pole is ready for all
of that.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh to the main stage.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
That's Star Garden.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Ladies and Gentlemen Tuesday through Friday.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Friday Night that's Monday, bring it day through Sunday.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Sheep.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
We can't, we can't, we can't, we can't even you
know that's too much.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
That was too much. I apologize, I really do. I'd
like to walk that back.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Great.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Do we need a palate cleanser? Do we need some
Surbet up in here?
Speaker 8 (15:31):
I love?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Isn't Sherbert great?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Just maybe some oyster crackers.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Or some oystercrackers.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well that's not really oyster crackers or just saltine buters,
puffy little bits of.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Cracker oysters crackers. Shannon will return for some other parts
of later in the show.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I will return for later parts in the show.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
As we've mentioned a couple of times, ceasefire has finally
taken effect in Gaza under a breakthrough deal.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Bombardment stopped.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Israeli troops pulled back in Gaza today under this deal
reached between Israel and Hamas deal reached under pressure from
a bunch of Arab countries from the United States, from
Turkey and is trying to end this two year war
in Gaza. While that's going on, tens of thousands of
Palestinians are now moving back into what's left of some
(16:27):
of the northern Gaza Strip. Questions still remain over who
is going to govern Gaza. Those Israeli troops did pull
back a bit today, and whether or not Hamas is
even going to disarm. The White House Budget Office is
that mass firings of federal workers started in an attempt
to exert more pressure on lawmakers as the government shutdown continues.
(16:48):
The director of the Office of Management and Buddy Buddies
the Office of Management and Budget says on the social
media site x that RIfS have begun, referring toduction in
force plans.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
There is a developing story out of western Tennessee that
we are following an explosion at a military explosives company.
This was in McEwan, Tennessee. The explosion occurred this morning
at a place called Accurate Energetic Systems. It's about sixty
miles outside of Nashville. Authority said some secondary explosions have
(17:27):
prevented rescuers from approaching the site caused the explosion. Not
yet known, but hello, it's an explosives manufacturer. Emergency crews
have been able to have not been able, i should say,
to get into the area because of the ongoing detonations.
So the original reports out of Nashville television station I
(17:48):
saw said that there were nineteen people unaccounted for, and
that they're now saying that there are excuse me, there
are some deaths, but they do not have a number.
Residents several miles away said they heard the explosion. Video
(18:08):
shows flames and heavy smoke. I mean, the images that
are coming out of WTVF there in Nashville have showed
just absolute utter destruction. There's not a section of these
buildings that is still standing. And they were using the
big stuff. They were using obviously military grade tnt C
(18:30):
four and other kinds of explosive ingredients in this explosion.
So if there is an update, there is an expectation
that we're going to get an update from rescue crews
in that area soon. A continuation of a story that
we told you first about yesterday, several people have come
forward now to say that they were victimized by this
woman that they are describing as a playboy or Penthouse
(18:55):
model because that's how she describes herself.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
The woman's name is Adva Lavi.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
She has been telling people that she appeared in Playboy
and Penthouse and claims to be the first ever top
Israeli OnlyFans model, and then gains the victims trust before
she steals from their homes. Five to seven, one hundred
and four, brown hair, brown eyes, drives that black Porsche
or a white Mercedes Benz, goes by several aliases and
we told you about it. Shoshana and Shanna and Mia
(19:25):
and all those the Michael Sartaine, is host of a
local podcast, said that well, he was a guest on
an election night show of his podcast. She went into
the green room and stole his credit cards and cash
(19:45):
from the purses of all of the female panelists. Said
that she got up at the forty five minute mark.
She was gone for forty five minutes. She just went
through everyone's bag. Now there's another guy. An adult film
star named Odie Steele told KTLA that he was victimized
by this woman while working at a party company. The
(20:06):
company had hired a bunch of people to go to
France to work at an event and put the group
up in an Airbnb. He said, while they were there,
this woman stole luxury items from him and some others
that were there. The French authorities were called and after
they investigated, they made her return all of the items
she decided to pretty much rob everyone in the group,
(20:27):
essentially anything marked with a designer label. Now, over the years,
apparently this woman has been a fixture at a bunch
of charity events in La and Vegas and has been
known to threaten her victims to try to keep them
from going to police. And again this Cody Steele guy
said she'd threatened to file a sex assault charge or
(20:48):
say that the guy offered her money for sex or
something for that effect.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
She has been in jail before.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
She was arrested last May on a felony charge and
then bailed out, but it's not clear if the charge was.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Related to any of these alleged burglaries.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
They're specifically looking at her out in the Malibu Lost
Hills area, urging anybody who may have had some similar
interactions with this woman to come forward. Sheriff's department is
the one that's that's taken the lead on this. So
the whole Playboy penthouse thing and that she's been involved
with charity events pretty actively is an added wrinkle to
(21:24):
all of this. Here we go, coming up, there is
an alternate to the halftime show that's being planned, and
it's by an organization that's been in the news lately.
Not for the right reasons, but it's been in the
news lately. We'll tell you about Turning Point USA's halftime
show that they're planning to counter whatever NFL is going
(21:45):
to do with Bad Bunny.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
We are following today. Of course, the Middle East piece
ord has apparently taken hold. The Israeli military says this
ceasefire went into effect at noon Israel time today, setting
the stage for the release of remaining hostages. There will
be an influx of humanitarian aid that is expected to
go into Gaza as a result. We do expect to
(22:17):
see the hostages released either Monday or Tuesday, maybe a
combination of the both. Judge in Chicago's issued a temporary
restraining order to block the deployment of National Guard troops
in Illinois. In another case, one pertaining to Portland, Oregon,
the ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. At least the three
judge panel appeared likely to grant the request of the
(22:39):
administration to pause the lower court ruling that blocked its
efforts to deploy troops to Portland. Let's see, Subtropical Storm
Karen has formed now the eleventh named storm of the
twenty twenty five Atlantic hurricane season, raises concerns along the
east coast of the United States. And we've got a
couple here which brought got some showers to southern California
(23:01):
yesterday in a few areas, and could today and tomorrow
as well. The remnants of two hurricanes Priscilla and Okatave
have developed along another with another storm along the Mexican coast,
And in fact, the concern there is that as those
move closer to the United States up along the border
(23:22):
through Baja, et cetera, that we're going to see a
bunch of flooding. In fact, the National Weather Service has
placed a moderate level three out of four flood risk
in Arizona today. The cities of Phoenix and Flagstaff, et cetera,
also flood watches, I should say, for parts of southern California, Nevada,
southern Utah, Southwestern Colorado at etc. We're doing Gas Fantasy
(23:45):
for play coming up in the twelve o'clock hours, so
test your football knowledge. We've got four games Elmer's going
to pick for us, and we'll see if we can
pick the winners for all four of those games. Speaking of,
of course, super Bowl rolls along in February of next year.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
This is George from Northridge. I'm seventy years old. I
can't remember the last time I sat down to see
a whole Super Bowl game. I used to enjoy the commercials,
but now I don't need to because I can just
look at them on YouTube. Now, as far as the
super Bowl's concerned, I really don't care that much about
(24:22):
who's in it. The other thing I really care about
the super Bowl at halftime is the puppy show.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Well thanks, George. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Counterprogramming to the super Bowl halftime show has become kind
of an industry in and of itself, hasn't it. I mean,
the original Super Bowl halftime shows were not good. Literally
the first super Bowl in January of nineteen sixty seven
at the Coliseum, they played music like the Sound of
(24:54):
Music soundtrack when the Saints go marching in Bury me
not on the Lone Prairie. They even played part of
the William tell overture. Oh and to give you an
idea of what we'll talk about here in terms of
a more patriotic halftime show, they also played the Liberty
(25:15):
Bell March and March along together, and this is My Country.
The Grambling College Marching Band and the USC Chorus played
that together. This is the super Bowl four, which was
actually played in New Orleans. They did when the Saints
Go Marching in again super Bowl six, also in New Orleans,
(25:38):
Ella Fitzgerald and al Hurt came together to sing Mac
the Knife. That's kind of when it lost the most
of its I guess you could say patriotism. They did
this Land is Your Land in super Bowl seven by
the University of Michigan Marching Band. But that's what everybody
thought halftimes were was marching bands. And that's kind of
(25:58):
how it changed when you get into the eighties, et cetera,
and you start to see some more I guess the
up with people back in Super Bowl sixteen.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
God, that sounds awful.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
You really didn't have a lot of celebrities in that
halftime show until say, nineteen eighty seven. When they saluted Hollywood.
George Burns and Mickey Rooney were part of that one.
Super Bowl twenty two, Chubby Checker and the Rockets. I mean,
we didn't really get to see big name musical acts
(26:35):
until arguably Super Bowl twenty five. New Kids on the
Block came in and I was gonna say, knock the
socks off everybody. I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell
you what was what that one was, Which one was?
The one with Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson was twenty seven,
which was January of nineteen ninety three, and it was
(26:58):
here at the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
And that makes sense. That one was cool because he
like he disappeared and appeared on stage. It was amazing. Yeah,
I still watched that video.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
The one after that went full Country because it was
in Georgia, Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt and the Judge.
Then you go back to Patty LaBelle, Teddy Pendergrass, Tony Bennett,
Miami Sound Machine in nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I mean there again. It started out with marching bands.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Now it's gone all the way to Bad Bunny, and
Bad Bunny has been chosen to be the halftime act
for the next Super Bowl, and he joked around that
everybody's got four months to learn Spanish.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I guess turning point us USA.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
This organization, of course founded by Charlie Kirk, and I
mentioned they've been in the headlines unfortunately because of the
assassination of Charlie Kirk last month. They posted on yesterday
on social media plans to produce the All American halftime Show,
and they said that it's very clear it's going to
be counter programming to whatever you're going to see on
(28:09):
the telecast for the actual Super Bowl game. And when
you look for details, by the way they threw it
up on social media, there's a link that sends you
to their website and it asks you to just write
your name, your contact information, and what musical genre preference
you have.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
So they give you several options.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Do you like Americana, classic rock, country, hip hop, pop,
or worship? Those different was that six different genres? And
then there's also a category that says anything in English.
I don't know if they're just going to do it online,
(28:54):
if there's a channel that's going to pick us up,
a cable channel or whatever that's going to do this,
but the counter programming at halftime shows. As George mentioned
right at the beginning of that is kind of funny
because you have TV stations who have or cable channels whatever,
who have used the marketing lines, perhaps of the Super
(29:19):
Bowl in an attempt to draw viewers. Cartoon Network had
some DIY Network had one called Toilet Bowl that was
all bathroom related programming, Puppy Bowl Marathon, Doctor pimple Popper
does a bunch of stuff that's counterprogramming for all of this.
They did a marathon of Glee, the TV show Glee,
(29:41):
and some Glee themed episodes of The Simpsons. Because there's
a belief that those people who like Glee, or who
like puppies, or who like doing toilet work on their
DIY afternoons, that they're not watching the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
And I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I know a lot of people who don't give two
corny turns about football that are going to watch the
Super Bowl because it's more of an event than it is.
It's more about the event than it is about the
sporting even though they are one and the same. Anyway,
when we come back, we'll get into swamp Watch. Don't
forget Today is Friday, so what you learned this week
on The Gary and Shannon Show. If you're listening on
(30:19):
the app, just hit that little microphone and leaves us
a talkback message comes right into the computer here and
at about twelve thirty will tell you what you learned
this week on The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
We'll continue right after this.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show, you
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. His mother said he used to
steal his brother's shoulder pads and run into telephone polls
on purpose.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Mean I love stories like that.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I knew kids like that, sure, but like, how how
long can you run like that?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
With that kind of physicality and violence?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Do you remember the movie Parenthood with Steve Martin, Mary
Steve Virgin. Yeah, there was a kid in that show, yes,
who put the bucket on his head and would run
into stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, that's what I envision.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I credit that movie for basically making my life decision
not to have kids.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I think my wife is too much fell in love
with Steve Steve Martin and then.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Married you because of it.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
You've all before I knew you, you reminded me of
Steve Martin, a young Steve Martin, or.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You knew me before this show? Oh oh oh really,
I don't think i've you look before I knew you
like a young Steve Martin. Now that I know you
have zero comedic talent, you look nothing like him.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Oh thank you I just got one thing to say,
what moyst Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Where did that come from, sir? Nobody asked for that.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Okay. I'm with Gary on this one. Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals.
And remember Trinan was warming up in the bullpen excellently.
It's lucky he threw that ball away.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Excellent.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
Good Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I'll say this, I think this is probably the best
descriptor of what I'm trying to say here.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
And acknowledge, of course, that the Dodgers won the game
last goo.
Speaker 7 (01:43):
Good morning, Gary Shannon. This is Angie in Ontario, so
technically Gary is correct. The Dodgers did not do anything
to win that game. Both runs were unearned runs. But
that's baseball. Touch the plate more. I guess today the
Phillies test it once. We tested twice and we're going
(02:06):
to the championship series.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, I mean might.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Sometimes games are one with offense, sometimes they're one with defense.
Like I mentioned at the top of the show, the
two runs that scored or off a walk in an error.
You did not see the Dodgers explosive bats last night
at all. Some games they'll see some games will hit ten.
They hit ten against the team before the Phillies. Who
do they play before the Phillies?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
The Reds?
Speaker 8 (02:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I mean sometimes the bats come alive. They did not
last night. But not all games are won and lost
the same way. We'll see, we'll see what goes on.
Go Cubbies.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Well, my team is in can Kun right now, so exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
But I don't think that your take on the team
on that win or loss or what have you. I
don't think that that was biased. I don't think that's
coming from a Giants fan. I think that's coming from
an independent baseball observer.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And if you're in if you're in the locker room,
if you're a fan, your team is going to the
championship series. The league championship series is an amazing accomplishment.
Good for them how.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Many times, like the eighth time.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
But if you're if you're a player and you're in
that locker room, I mean you're still excited. Obviously you're
going to the championship series. But how great would it
have been had it been and Andy Pa has doubled
down the line? Yeah, or Taoscar Hernandez home run or
something like.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
That, doesn't matter. They're all getting sprayed with champagne. But
it burns just the same, and it burns so.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Good, all right.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Kevin Costner.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Kevin Costner apparently got into what's called a heated altercation
with a Yellowstone co star, and this was Wes Bentley, Yes,
the one who plays the son that everybody hates, the
Attorney General. This fisticuffs resulted in the production being briefly
shut down. Of course, Kevin Costner left everyone Knew about
(03:57):
It Yellowstone ahead of the second half of the fifth
and five final season, resulting in his character being killed
off spoiler alert. But his exit came amid reports of
a falling out with Taylor Sheridan over scheduling issues. There
was a new report about Costner in the Hollywood Reporter.
The headline is how Kevin Costner lost Hollywood. It's exhaustive,
(04:20):
but in that report they claimed that Kevin Costner was
pushing Bentley, who plays the Sun on Yellowstone, and was
pushing him to ditch Sheridan's script in one scene in
favor of Costner's own take, but that didn't go over
with the co star, Wes Bentley.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, Wes Bentley's comes in and he says, hey, buddy
to Kevin Costner. I signed up for a Taylor Sheridan show,
not a Kevin Costner show.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Kevin didn't like that, and he lunged at him.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No fists were thrown, but they were in each other's faces,
pushing and shoving and just getting hot until they had
to be separated. Another co star, Kelly Riley, was in
tears over it.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I said she was Irish.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Oh, she was in tears over that.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I said she was Irish. She's English apparently.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Wow, so you're just calling English people Irish people.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Now all people in the UK look alike?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Whoa Yet two people tell you you were wrong emphatically
today and now you're signing up for more of that.
Bring it on, Bring it on. You know I'm leaving
early today. You're going to be alone in this battle.
I will not be in.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
The foxhole with you to read you scripture.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Well, that's why we do.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
What you learned this week on the Gary and Shannon
Show that I am perennially wrong.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
That's one thing.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
They said.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
The incident with Wes was the line in the sand.
Everything was different after that. Everyone loved Wes, which is funny.
So everyone loved the character that played the attorney general
who was like the most hated character interesting, So that
really made Taylor share an upset that Kevin Costner and
Taylor shared and butted heads from there on out, it
got very awkward. You can kind of get that vibe
(06:08):
from John Dutton in the show, Like.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I was kind of because I knew.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I knew that he had kind of gotten tired of
it and there was a falling out or whatever, and
that's why he was killed off and he wasn't in
the whole last season. And I remember, like leading up
to that, I was like, yeah, Kevin Costner looks kind
of pissed off, Like he looks like he's over this show.
But maybe that was just my mind making things up,
but I kind of got that ny going to end,
I just got the vibe that he seemed over it.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Costner announced his departure June of last year, said it
was a scheduling conflict with his huge Western horizon. Said
I did it for five years. I wanted to work
more than once a year. We lost an entire year.
At one point I thought that can't happen again. He
claimed that he left filming of his movie for a
whole month in order to shoot the rest of season
(06:56):
five of Yellowstone, but when he arrived there was no
and that's when things imploded. Taylor Sheridan said that Costner's
decision disappointed him as it truncates the closure of his character.
It was a clunky way to get rid of John
Dutton the way that they did so, but how else
are you gonna what do you do? Do you just
(07:20):
I honestly thought that there was a time when they
would just not do a season five, just leave that
thing open, because in all honesty, it brings with that
sort of mystery, brings with it Artistically, I think it
brings a good lot of questions and it continues the discussion. Financially,
(07:40):
it makes zero sense. They were rolling in the money
and there's no way that they would not make a
season five.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
A couple of stories that we are following. Nobel Prize
for Peace was handed out today. It actually went to
Maria Corina, Shadow of Venezuela. They said that she is
a woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid
a growing darkness. She dedicated her prize to the Venezuelan people,
and to President Trump for his decisive support of the cause.
(08:15):
New York's Attorney General Letitia James indicted by a federal
grand jury in Virginia. We'll talk more about it when
we get into swamp Watch, because this case, they said,
actually echoes ironically the case that she brought against Donald Trump.
She was charged with one count of bank fraud one
count of making false statements to a financial institution. The
(08:36):
President has said that she falsely claimed that a home
in Virginia was her second residence, which allowed her to
get more favorable loan terms, and that she had rented
the property, et cetera. So we'll talk more about it
again at the top of the top of the hour.
Dodgers do advance to the NLCS. They won an extra
innings against the Phillies and the Cubs also beat the
(08:57):
Brewers that actually forced a game five. Whoever wins tomorrow's
game between the Brewers and Cubs five pm in Milwaukee
actually will face the Dodgers in the NLCS starting on Monday,
and we don't know where yet because if the Brewers win,
it's going to be in Milwaukee. If the Cubs win,
it will be in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
And what time is that game again?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Five o'clock, five o'clock tonight at five Tiger's Mariners game five.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You're doing it at five o'clock our time? Yeah wow,

way it is on the East Coast? Like eight o'clock
at night?
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah wow. That's why you love living on the West Coast.
It is sports.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Katie Porter is having a rough week.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
First it was the sit down interview she did where
she appears to cut it off because she doesn't want
to answer questions.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
She gets combative with the reporter. It was a bad look.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Then in older video surfaces showing her lose her s
on a staffer for getting into quoting her quoting here,
getting into her effing shot, Get out of my shot.
It's an awful look. And now we've got another one
where she's frustrated with staff members over bright studio lighting.
So this is the third controversial video featuring the front
(10:57):
runner for California governor this week.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Oh yes, this is.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Why I didn't want to I need the lights off,
the bright lights. I'm so sorry, but I am about
to get on bad. I need you to turn these offs.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
That are killing me.
Speaker 9 (11:11):
Hang on one second, everybody, lights go completely off. Yes, yes,
we should have yes, Okay, everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I'm not that dark. And she's doing that slow simmer
thing where she's just a man's Oh.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
You can tell.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
She goes from zero to one hundred and twenty real quick.
You can see why she dumped hot mashed potatoes on
her now ex husband.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
She has a.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Temper problem and she did go to anger management at point,
and this is what the product does. She should get
her money back. Well, I wonder what she's not yelling no,
but she as you said, that is a quiet simmer.
That is the Palisades fire between the the days of
January first and January seventh. She's about to erupt and
(12:04):
she's going to go scorch to earth on those people. Gosh, wow,
I wonder how quickly how many times a day she
goes from zero to one hundred like that, Like, I
wonder if it's quick to happen, or if like that's
the third such instance where she's she's tested, she's frustrated,
she's annoyed with people or whatever, and then she blows,
(12:26):
or if she just blows and blows and blows.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
And we know people, right, I'm sure everybody has somebody
like this in their life where if you point out this,
I mean, I I'd love to know what's going on
today with Katie Porter and the people that she's talking
to running for governors, who keeps.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Making this stuff and she's demanding to know the leak
and all.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Well, when you point out to someone that they are angry,
or that they look back. You know, you're you're you're
completely overblowing the situation. Nobody ever comes down from that
and they go, oh, you're right, I'm sorry. I shouldn't.
If she's doing this over something like lighting in a
(13:06):
shot on a zoom call that I mean, that doesn't
really matter. You tell her she's making the mountain out
of a mole hill and she's gonna make Mount Everest.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I don't think that she takes to that con. I
don't think anyone's telling her, hey, you're you're acting crazy.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
It's a little too much.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Like sometimes she goes like this, you want mashed potatoes?
Is that what you want?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
You want the mashed potatoes. You'll do that to me sometimes.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
So you'll be like, okay, all right, and you'll put
your hands up like Katie Porter puts their hands up,
and you'll be like, all right, this is unnecessarily aggressive,
and I will be like, you know what, you're right,
like I'm overreacting or what have you? Right, don't I
don't double down. I usually backpedal, right.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I'll say the second or third time I say something
is usually when you go okay, you're probably right, but
immediately sometimes double down. That's not sometimes, yes, Can I
ask about the mashed potatoes?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So there was a report I believe it was in
the divorce when Katie Porter got divorced from her now
ex husband, where he was claiming all sorts of abuse
and says that she has an anger problem. She flies
off the handle. At one point she dumped hot mashed
potatoes on him.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Well, it's you know what it is is? My problem
with it is this. I love mashed potatoes me too.
I think they're delicious. My husband makes the best mashed
potatoes with all the garlic and all the butter, and
it's my favorite at the holidays. And for her to
waste them like that is egregious.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Uh expect. I don't know if it's true or not.
I'm just predicting. There will be at least two poles
coming out next week.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
In the Governor's Raven. If they were planning it, she
won't be in love with it. You don't want her
up on that pole. Well, you don't need her on
that pole.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm not sure that that pole is ready for all
of that.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh to the main stage.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
That's Star Garden.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Ladies and Gentlemen Tuesday through Friday.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Friday Night that's Monday, bring it day through Sunday.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Sheep.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
We can't, we can't, we can't, we can't even you
know that's too much.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
That was too much. I apologize, I really do. I'd
like to walk that back.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Great.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Do we need a palate cleanser? Do we need some
Surbet up in here?
Speaker 8 (15:31):
I love?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Isn't Sherbert great?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Just maybe some oyster crackers.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Or some oystercrackers.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well that's not really oyster crackers or just saltine buters,
puffy little bits of.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Cracker oysters crackers. Shannon will return for some other parts
of later in the show.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I will return for later parts in the show.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
As we've mentioned a couple of times, ceasefire has finally
taken effect in Gaza under a breakthrough deal.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Bombardment stopped.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Israeli troops pulled back in Gaza today under this deal
reached between Israel and Hamas deal reached under pressure from
a bunch of Arab countries from the United States, from
Turkey and is trying to end this two year war
in Gaza. While that's going on, tens of thousands of
Palestinians are now moving back into what's left of some
(16:27):
of the northern Gaza Strip. Questions still remain over who
is going to govern Gaza. Those Israeli troops did pull
back a bit today, and whether or not Hamas is
even going to disarm. The White House Budget Office is
that mass firings of federal workers started in an attempt
to exert more pressure on lawmakers as the government shutdown continues.
(16:48):
The director of the Office of Management and Buddy Buddies
the Office of Management and Budget says on the social
media site x that RIfS have begun, referring toduction in
force plans.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
There is a developing story out of western Tennessee that
we are following an explosion at a military explosives company.
This was in McEwan, Tennessee. The explosion occurred this morning
at a place called Accurate Energetic Systems. It's about sixty
miles outside of Nashville. Authority said some secondary explosions have
(17:27):
prevented rescuers from approaching the site caused the explosion. Not
yet known, but hello, it's an explosives manufacturer. Emergency crews
have been able to have not been able, i should say,
to get into the area because of the ongoing detonations.
So the original reports out of Nashville television station I
(17:48):
saw said that there were nineteen people unaccounted for, and
that they're now saying that there are excuse me, there
are some deaths, but they do not have a number.
Residents several miles away said they heard the explosion. Video
(18:08):
shows flames and heavy smoke. I mean, the images that
are coming out of WTVF there in Nashville have showed
just absolute utter destruction. There's not a section of these
buildings that is still standing. And they were using the
big stuff. They were using obviously military grade tnt C
(18:30):
four and other kinds of explosive ingredients in this explosion.
So if there is an update, there is an expectation
that we're going to get an update from rescue crews
in that area soon. A continuation of a story that
we told you first about yesterday, several people have come
forward now to say that they were victimized by this
woman that they are describing as a playboy or Penthouse
(18:55):
model because that's how she describes herself.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
The woman's name is Adva Lavi.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
She has been telling people that she appeared in Playboy
and Penthouse and claims to be the first ever top
Israeli OnlyFans model, and then gains the victims trust before
she steals from their homes. Five to seven, one hundred
and four, brown hair, brown eyes, drives that black Porsche
or a white Mercedes Benz, goes by several aliases and
we told you about it. Shoshana and Shanna and Mia
(19:25):
and all those the Michael Sartaine, is host of a
local podcast, said that well, he was a guest on
an election night show of his podcast. She went into
the green room and stole his credit cards and cash
(19:45):
from the purses of all of the female panelists. Said
that she got up at the forty five minute mark.
She was gone for forty five minutes. She just went
through everyone's bag. Now there's another guy. An adult film
star named Odie Steele told KTLA that he was victimized
by this woman while working at a party company. The
(20:06):
company had hired a bunch of people to go to
France to work at an event and put the group
up in an Airbnb. He said, while they were there,
this woman stole luxury items from him and some others
that were there. The French authorities were called and after
they investigated, they made her return all of the items
she decided to pretty much rob everyone in the group,
(20:27):
essentially anything marked with a designer label. Now, over the years,
apparently this woman has been a fixture at a bunch
of charity events in La and Vegas and has been
known to threaten her victims to try to keep them
from going to police. And again this Cody Steele guy
said she'd threatened to file a sex assault charge or
(20:48):
say that the guy offered her money for sex or
something for that effect.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
She has been in jail before.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
She was arrested last May on a felony charge and
then bailed out, but it's not clear if the charge was.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Related to any of these alleged burglaries.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
They're specifically looking at her out in the Malibu Lost
Hills area, urging anybody who may have had some similar
interactions with this woman to come forward. Sheriff's department is
the one that's that's taken the lead on this. So
the whole Playboy penthouse thing and that she's been involved
with charity events pretty actively is an added wrinkle to
(21:24):
all of this. Here we go, coming up, there is
an alternate to the halftime show that's being planned, and
it's by an organization that's been in the news lately.
Not for the right reasons, but it's been in the
news lately. We'll tell you about Turning Point USA's halftime
show that they're planning to counter whatever NFL is going
(21:45):
to do with Bad Bunny.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
We are following today. Of course, the Middle East piece
ord has apparently taken hold. The Israeli military says this
ceasefire went into effect at noon Israel time today, setting
the stage for the release of remaining hostages. There will
be an influx of humanitarian aid that is expected to
go into Gaza as a result. We do expect to
(22:17):
see the hostages released either Monday or Tuesday, maybe a
combination of the both. Judge in Chicago's issued a temporary
restraining order to block the deployment of National Guard troops
in Illinois. In another case, one pertaining to Portland, Oregon,
the ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. At least the three
judge panel appeared likely to grant the request of the
(22:39):
administration to pause the lower court ruling that blocked its
efforts to deploy troops to Portland. Let's see, Subtropical Storm
Karen has formed now the eleventh named storm of the
twenty twenty five Atlantic hurricane season, raises concerns along the
east coast of the United States. And we've got a
couple here which brought got some showers to southern California
(23:01):
yesterday in a few areas, and could today and tomorrow
as well. The remnants of two hurricanes Priscilla and Okatave
have developed along another with another storm along the Mexican coast,
And in fact, the concern there is that as those
move closer to the United States up along the border
(23:22):
through Baja, et cetera, that we're going to see a
bunch of flooding. In fact, the National Weather Service has
placed a moderate level three out of four flood risk
in Arizona today. The cities of Phoenix and Flagstaff, et cetera,
also flood watches, I should say, for parts of southern California, Nevada,
southern Utah, Southwestern Colorado at etc. We're doing Gas Fantasy
(23:45):
for play coming up in the twelve o'clock hours, so
test your football knowledge. We've got four games Elmer's going
to pick for us, and we'll see if we can
pick the winners for all four of those games. Speaking of,
of course, super Bowl rolls along in February of next year.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
This is George from Northridge. I'm seventy years old. I
can't remember the last time I sat down to see
a whole Super Bowl game. I used to enjoy the commercials,
but now I don't need to because I can just
look at them on YouTube. Now, as far as the
super Bowl's concerned, I really don't care that much about
(24:22):
who's in it. The other thing I really care about
the super Bowl at halftime is the puppy show.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Well thanks, George. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Counterprogramming to the super Bowl halftime show has become kind
of an industry in and of itself, hasn't it. I mean,
the original Super Bowl halftime shows were not good. Literally
the first super Bowl in January of nineteen sixty seven
at the Coliseum, they played music like the Sound of
(24:54):
Music soundtrack when the Saints go marching in Bury me
not on the Lone Prairie. They even played part of
the William tell overture. Oh and to give you an
idea of what we'll talk about here in terms of
a more patriotic halftime show, they also played the Liberty
(25:15):
Bell March and March along together, and this is My Country.
The Grambling College Marching Band and the USC Chorus played
that together. This is the super Bowl four, which was
actually played in New Orleans. They did when the Saints
Go Marching in again super Bowl six, also in New Orleans,
(25:38):
Ella Fitzgerald and al Hurt came together to sing Mac
the Knife. That's kind of when it lost the most
of its I guess you could say patriotism. They did
this Land is Your Land in super Bowl seven by
the University of Michigan Marching Band. But that's what everybody
thought halftimes were was marching bands. And that's kind of
(25:58):
how it changed when you get into the eighties, et cetera,
and you start to see some more I guess the
up with people back in Super Bowl sixteen.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
God, that sounds awful.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
You really didn't have a lot of celebrities in that
halftime show until say, nineteen eighty seven. When they saluted Hollywood.
George Burns and Mickey Rooney were part of that one.
Super Bowl twenty two, Chubby Checker and the Rockets. I mean,
we didn't really get to see big name musical acts
(26:35):
until arguably Super Bowl twenty five. New Kids on the
Block came in and I was gonna say, knock the
socks off everybody. I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell
you what was what that one was, Which one was?
The one with Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson was twenty seven,
which was January of nineteen ninety three, and it was
(26:58):
here at the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
And that makes sense. That one was cool because he
like he disappeared and appeared on stage. It was amazing. Yeah,
I still watched that video.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
The one after that went full Country because it was
in Georgia, Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt and the Judge.
Then you go back to Patty LaBelle, Teddy Pendergrass, Tony Bennett,
Miami Sound Machine in nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I mean there again. It started out with marching bands.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Now it's gone all the way to Bad Bunny, and
Bad Bunny has been chosen to be the halftime act
for the next Super Bowl, and he joked around that
everybody's got four months to learn Spanish.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I guess turning point us USA.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
This organization, of course founded by Charlie Kirk, and I
mentioned they've been in the headlines unfortunately because of the
assassination of Charlie Kirk last month. They posted on yesterday
on social media plans to produce the All American halftime Show,
and they said that it's very clear it's going to
be counter programming to whatever you're going to see on
(28:09):
the telecast for the actual Super Bowl game. And when
you look for details, by the way they threw it
up on social media, there's a link that sends you
to their website and it asks you to just write
your name, your contact information, and what musical genre preference
you have.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
So they give you several options.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Do you like Americana, classic rock, country, hip hop, pop,
or worship? Those different was that six different genres? And
then there's also a category that says anything in English.
I don't know if they're just going to do it online,
(28:54):
if there's a channel that's going to pick us up,
a cable channel or whatever that's going to do this,
but the counter programming at halftime shows. As George mentioned
right at the beginning of that is kind of funny
because you have TV stations who have or cable channels whatever,
who have used the marketing lines, perhaps of the Super
(29:19):
Bowl in an attempt to draw viewers. Cartoon Network had
some DIY Network had one called Toilet Bowl that was
all bathroom related programming, Puppy Bowl Marathon, Doctor pimple Popper
does a bunch of stuff that's counterprogramming for all of this.
They did a marathon of Glee, the TV show Glee,
(29:41):
and some Glee themed episodes of The Simpsons. Because there's
a belief that those people who like Glee, or who
like puppies, or who like doing toilet work on their
DIY afternoons, that they're not watching the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
And I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I know a lot of people who don't give two
corny turns about football that are going to watch the
Super Bowl because it's more of an event than it is.
It's more about the event than it is about the
sporting even though they are one and the same. Anyway,
when we come back, we'll get into swamp Watch. Don't
forget Today is Friday, so what you learned this week
