Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We know that President Trump is at Fort Bragg in
North Carolina. He is expected to sort of the beginning
of the week of celebration of the two hundred and
fiftieth birthday or anniversary of the Army, and he is
expected to make comments from Fort Bragg.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
We will listen in.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I don't know exactly what time that's supposed to be,
but the groups there have assembled. We know that he's
already in North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Here on that. If you're a political junkie, there is
a primary in New Jersey where people are focusing a
lot of their attention. If they're into this sort of thing.
They say that this election could signal the mood of
the country. Crowded field of candidates on the ballot looking
to become New Jersey's next governor. Some are going to
be looking at the turnout. Republicans are trying to flip
(00:54):
the governor's office from blue to red in November. Trump
has openly endorsed the front runner, Jack Chitidarelli on the
Republican side, On the Democratic side, there is a number
of names, including Newark's mayor and a couple state representatives
as well, hoping to take over for Governor Phil Murphy.
But they're kind of thinking that this is a Bellweather
(01:15):
type primary election.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Phil Murphy, I think one after Chris Christie. Right, Chus
Christy was the last Republican governor there in New Jersey,
which wasn't too long ago, but to flip it back
would be would be quite the adventure. There were a
couple of things I wanted to get to today, things
that happened earlier today in the context of what we've
been watching. One of them is that we saw Secretary
(01:40):
of Defense Pete Hegseth testify before Congress about multiple things.
The point of the hearing was to talk about the
budget for the Pentagon.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
ICE ought be able to do its job, whether it's
Minneapolis or Los Angeles limited time.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I asked a budget, being the Secretary, please address the budget.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
You asked about the situation in Los Angeles, and we
believe vice agents should be allowed to be safe in
doing their operations, and we have deployed National Guard in
the Marines to protect them.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
In the execution of their duties.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
We are seeing reports that marines have been spotted now
in the streets of LA again. They would be around
the other National Guard, the Army National Guard that had
been deployed back over the weekend, around federal buildings, the
one in downtown Los Angeles and likely the one over
in Westwood as well. Secretary Hegseth was testifying before the
(02:31):
House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee alongside General Dan Kin, who is
the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and the Acting Pentagon
Comptroller Brynn Woollcott MacDonnell to talk about the twenty twenty
six budget request that was made. Another deal that's coming
out of DC today that's making a lot of headlines
(02:52):
is that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior,
has announced that he's removing all seventeen sitting members of
the Vaccine Advisory Committee and then replacing them with new members.
It's called the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, makes recommendations
on vaccine safety, efficacy, the clinical need for vaccines. The
(03:14):
Biden administration also appointed all seventeen of those ACIP members,
So the idea that he's cleaning the slate and somehow
doing something that's unprecedented.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
That's not the case.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
The Biden administration was the one that chose the current
seventeen members on the ACIP.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
He's choosing his own team, So that's what That's what's
going on.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Sports wise, the Florida Panthers crushed the Oiler six to
one to take a two to one lead in the
Stanley Cup Final series. Game three of the NBA Finals
is tomorrow night. Pacers and Thunders tied at one game apiece.
The Angels beat the As seven to four, and the
Dodgers beat the Padres eight to seven.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Did I see that? The Giants of one five in
a row? Yes, you did well, Yes, you did well.
That's fun. They didn't lose last night six and they
wuldn't have a game. Oh, I got it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
But the same two teams, Dodgers and Padres will play
tonight down in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
What is the nl WES situation right now? I honestly
don't know, so I'm not trying to be cute or otherwise.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
If I'm not mistaken, it is the Dodgers with a
one and a half game lead now over the Giants
and a two game lead over the Padres.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
And what is going on with our dear Colorado Rockies?
They have still only one twelve? Does anyone work there?
Does anybody work there? Are they still fielding a team?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
The Rockies have lost three in a row and they're
now twelve and fifty three on the seamon My god,
that's who the.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Giants get to play starting tonight.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh that'll be fun. You might have a shot. Call
your buddies over there.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I might have it.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I could put together the Beer League softball team and
we would put a couple runs on the rock.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
So I'm saying, yeah, that's why I said you might
have a shot, and then you said I might have
a shot.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You might. I thought you meant like your team that
you were a fan of might have a show. No
meant like you pointed personally. I'll take that all right, Gary,
Shannon will continue.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Just no an enemy bat bashing?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh if you wanted to, I was just gonna let
it go. But now that you mentioned that, gosh, why
don't we get into the cnmony. What's a cnmone?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
You asked?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I learned about cnemones a little bit more from finding NEMO.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And Shannon doesn't have children.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
It's understandable that she never watched Finding Nemo fifteen hundred
times like some of us did when our kids were
at the five six seven year old range when that
movie came out. And I believe it's Nemo has a
lot of trouble talking about an me, an enemy, a
sea aneemy.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
That's just helping, Shannon, that's a tough word.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
That is just helping. Remember first day of school. He
jumps on the bus, the manta ray.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Whoa who is this?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well? Nemo?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
All new explorers must answer a science question. Okay, you
live in what kind of home? Welcome the morning? I
get it. That's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
See an enemy, an enemy, anemone, anemone, anemone?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
All right? Can you say anemone? Anemone? There you go.
Only one who doesn't know what to see it? No,
it's only because I heard you guys say it so
many times. I would have screwed it up as well.
But do you know what it is? Oh? Do I
know what it is?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Not?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Really?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Thank God, thank you Jesus, thank you all of the gods.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Or what.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
You both didn't pay attention when they talked about the
I didn't want I was feeling very alone.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Under the ocean.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I was feeling alone, and that's the real part of
a community. Now Tadpool, Now I have a community that's.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Quite a community.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So glad that I was able to help me to
thank you any time we got we have each other.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yes, we do. And do you have any good sex shows?
I don't, Shannon, I'd been waiting to hear from you.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Well, the book I'm reading has sex in it, so
I'm kind of like, cool, good, But let me know
if you stumble onside, I will.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Wanted to talk about this story when I first saw
it earlier this week or that would be yesterday, so
maybe over the weekend. In the Wall Street Journal. It's
about the new Nathan Fielder, the rehearsal on HBO. If
you don't know Nathan Fielder, he is a comic who well,
you're you work in comedy, you're an adult theater actor.
(07:42):
How would you describe his brand of humor slash comedy.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I would describe it as a drier than the Saharan Desert.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
He kind of specializes in gotcha type things. Almost it
feels like where he pretends something or he has people
pretend something that catch the suspecting people.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Ish ish and it's not hidden camera.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
No, I'm thinking about Nathan Fielder for you.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
How he started out on Comedy Central, I believe, and
with his little bits about, you know, going and interviewing
people that run an antique store that is only selling
baby teeth artifacts, you know, and he would go in
(08:31):
and be like, no, tell me about this, and the
earnest woman who created this baby teeth antique store is like, well,
I came up with it because I had a door
full of baby teeth and I just I saved them
from everybody and my nieces and nephews.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
And it's funny because he's legit in the room doing
the interview.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But it's ridiculous and preposterous and I'm making all of
this up.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
But you got the idea, right.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, he's got this new show on HBO and it's
called The Rehearsal. It's not new, it's what season two
or three, it's season two, season two. And in this
season he takes a look at pilots and about plane
crashes and why they happen. And it starts very very serious,
(09:14):
going through catastrophic flight failures.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
And the conclusion that he comes to early on in
that first or the hypothesis probably that he comes to
in that first episode, is there's so many of these
accidents that might have been prevented if the communication between
the pilot and co pilot, between the captain and first
officer was better communication. And if you could improve that communication,
(09:42):
could you prevent more plane crashes?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And although it is a comedy vehicle, it does really
highlight a real thing, and it's that pilots do not
ever say they need help psychologically or otherwise, or they
lose their wings, they don't get to fly anymore, or
it's this process that is so cumbersome and awful that
(10:06):
they are taken out of the sky for so long,
and so nobody says anything that God forbid. You say
you need therapy, or you even admit you go to
a therapist or anything like that, or even look at
a therapist.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
And the real life pilots in.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
This show seem like they need to talk to somebody,
And that's kind of the gist. And his whole point
is if they if you just allowed for the pilots
to get the help that they need, maybe they would
I don't know, be happier people and better at their job,
and maybe you avert any sort of communication problems that
have led to other.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Catastrophic failures in the sky. Yeah, I think that was
the most eye opening part of it was that. And
granted he's selecting pilots. I mean, there are real pilots
that are on this show that agree to be on
the show. He's going to select the pilots. I think
that would kind of prove his hypothesis, of course, to make.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
The show work the way it's supposed to.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yes, So the whole premise of the rehearsal, it's all
based on the idea that a person can prepare for
any difficult situation by rehearsing in a highly realistic setting.
So if somebody is a nervous dat or what he
does is he'll like construct a coffee shop and have
a real life situation play out so the person can
(11:22):
see how they would interact or what they could fix
on said date that's about to happen. And so in
this case, he has people come into this highly rehearsed
cockpit scenario and when something goes wrong, how do they
interact with each other how do they communicate, And the
basis is that they don't feel most of the time,
(11:42):
the number two chair does not feel comfortable telling the captain, Hey,
we've got a problem, or you should do this, or
can we do this, because it's so frowned upon to
override anything that the captain wants or is doing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, And some of it, I guess is embedded in
the idea of there's got to be chain of command, period.
There has to be a chain, there has to be
somebody in charge, as I say, counting on is somebody
in charge relying on feedback from somebody who is also
in the room but is not in charge. And there
(12:19):
were a couple of different if I remember correctly, there
were a couple of different instances that they highlight where
a pilot actually gives up that control to the copilot,
aware enough that they're incapable of doing what they're supposed
to do at that time, whatever that is, because they
can't see their ability to reason is not working out
(12:42):
something like that. But that's such a rare thing that
you would have in an instance like that, where in
moments and fractions of a second are going to matter
when it comes to saving the plane and everybody on board.
You're not going to have the pilot necessarily walk over
and go. So what do you think, Carl, What's what's
(13:03):
the best move here.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
One of the things he points out that he has
hard time realizing is that when pilots are assigned to
work together, they get there, they get to the airport,
they may see each other in the pilot room, they
don't speak. They don't speak when they're waiting outside the
gate to board the aircraft, there's no speaking. And then
all of a sudden they're put in this like life
or death with one hundred and eighty souls on board situation.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And these are two people who can't even.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Say hello, how's your coffee before they get on the
on board. And there's an aviation expert by the name
of John Golia who served as kind of an expert.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I don't know person advisor.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Thank you, And he says he thinks that these role
playing exercises could help pilots and co pilots cut through
some of the timid personality traits, the ego, the judgment
that can just shut down communication at crucial moments. He said,
I think this show is going to do what it's
going to do through comedies get the discussion going. He
(14:02):
said his emails have blown up from very influential people
in aviation who are now looking at it, and it's
getting a little traction.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It's amazing that that's something that's not been talked about before. Yeah,
that especially, I mean even in the last twenty five
thirty years. I can understand if you're talking seventies, eighties,
even early nineties.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
You have mentioned this before.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
A lot of the airline pilots came out of the military,
and they're used to that kind of chain of command
style leadership where you don't question the person above you,
and if you do, you're in from.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
These people aren't from the military. There's civilians now, they're
not very exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Very few, and so if you take away the military
aspect of the chain of command, you kind of get
the the bark without the teeth. I mean, there's no basis.
You're not understanding why, and I don't know, it's just
you can't. You can't give somebody with no military background
a military protocol if they didn't understand the why behind it.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
There is a write up.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
On this on his series in Vulture, and it says
it's an uncanny coincidence. Less than three months before the
debut of this TV series about poor cockpit communications, the
US suffers its first fatal crash in sixteen years, which
was the Blackhawk helicopter and that airplane that was flying
into Reagan National Airport back in January.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I don't know about you, but I like Nathan Fielder.
I find his dry humor very funny.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
But watching this season of this show, I even after
this point, landed of the lack of communication with pilots
and the lack of any sort of outlet for them
to talk to anybody ever. Really, that took over for
me in my head. I couldn't even enjoy the parts
(15:58):
where I was supposed to laugh out loud eventually, you know,
like episode three or four ish, and I'm just like, man,
this is a real problem. This is my overwriting feeling
like this is this is something that should probably beat
out well.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
And if you have any fear of or trepidation at
all about flying and trusting the people that are behind
that locked door up at the front of the plane.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
It's does not help. Especially that one guy with the
two tight shirt and the weird he.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Needs to be wearing this shirt shirt. What a disaster
is that guy with the women? Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
To me, that's the kind of guy that kind of
craps out. He washes out of the system though, like
he gets in trouble or is somebody hasn't yet.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
We should check on him. Oh, yeah, surprised. I would
love to check on him.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Like an an enemy sneeze? Okay, you said it right,
thank you. How do you say it? Deborah?
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Say it one more time, Shannon.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Now I'm nervous because I've got the freaking Nazi in
this room with me, and you should see the daggers
that come out.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Of his eyes when you don't know what to see
an enemy as I have.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
To point out that the correct pronunciation is anem.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Me no, no, it's anemone A N E M O
n E. And I'll say it. For probably many too
many years, I set it incorrectly when it would come
up in conversation, which was all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
And now, what kind of circles are you running in?
Micro and marine biologists? Yeah? How often does this come
up in your life?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
My dad used to constantly go diving for abaloni when
it was legal and probably sometimes when it wasn't, and
I would wait for him on the rocks. That sounds
like a very sad childhood. But there were always seem
knees all around. It was like sitting in a giant
(17:59):
tidepool for for hours at a time.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
So you just leave you out there on the rocks.
How old were you four?
Speaker 7 (18:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I was much older than that, and I was never alone.
They were always strangers nearby. Well, now that I say
it like.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
That, it sounds a little weird. So did you did
you talk to the anenemies? Did you play with them
with the what?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
And I'm afraid to say it now because you're very
serious about this, more so than anything I think ever before.
An em anemone anemone? Yeah, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
It's not easy. I'm not saying it's an easy word.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I'm just saying that a lot of people that have
said it wrong for a long time.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I was one of those people.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Okay, Well, clearly they're near and dear to your heart.
And did you talk to them.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Those on the rocks? No, they don't really have a face.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
No, But did you, I mean, were they your friends
when you were alone out for those few hours?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
They were? Yeah, they were my friends.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Okay, yeah, until my dad would bring up these giant
mullusks and we would cut them up and eat them.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So you know how to cut open an abaloni and
all of it. Yeah, that's cool, Well it's not. What
do you use to You use like a shugar.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Use a flat iron that looks like an oyster shucker,
a long flat iron that's like a twelve inches, and
you scoop it out of its out of its shell
with all.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
So like almost like a paint tool kind of. Yeah,
it's a little curve to it. You cut that.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
They cut that out, and then you take a slice,
kind of a semicircle slice to get the guts out,
all of the organs and everything like that, so you're just.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Left with the foot to meat.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Then you have to go through and cut there's like
a you ever seen a dog's mouth, you know, it
looks like dog gums around the edge of the avaloni,
and you cut that off. So then eventually what you're
left with is a it almost looks like one of
those air hockey paddles. It's a bigger thing, but it's
(20:03):
got kind of a knob on the top of it.
It widens out at the bottom and that's all foot,
which means it's all muscle, that's all meat. Ah, take
that to a meat slicer. You slice it down to
like maybe I don't know, three sixteenths of an inch
or so.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So really then like that little steaks like that, bread it,
fry it, lemon juice.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah. Yeah, when's the last time you had fresh abaloni?
Twenty five years? Probably my mom used to.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Buy it illegally out of a guy's trunk at the Ralphs. Yeah,
this was just a handful of years ago. But so
so if you screwed up with the carving it out,
would you get into it? Was it like squid game?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
No? No, okay? The biggest was it a challenge to
like come? Okay?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
The biggest threat was that I would cut too much
of the meat just to because I would be careful.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
I wouldn't want any of those, and you'd go too slightly,
I'd go too slowly.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
But the threat to me was that I was going
to cut my hand because it was a super sharp knight.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Did you ever cut your hand a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Oh really, Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
That was the old day. I think that's great.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
That's a really cool skill to have to clean an abalony,
just to know how it works. And yeah, why not.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I have to work in a shellfish market somewhere I can.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's just a cool fun fact about you. We learned
about the black phoebe flycatcher earlier, and now we learned
one of your fun.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Facts that I know how to say anemone.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
So if you're at one of those stupid ass management
meetings and they say, well, go around the table and
tell us your name in a fun fact, you can
be like, I know what to do with an abalony.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
When we come back, we'll give you just the latest
recap of what's going on between the President and Gavin Newsom.
President said something today Gavin Newsom called him an outright liar.
We'll explain what that was when we come back.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
President Trump is in North Carolina plans to speak at
Fort Bragg to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of the Army. This trip to North Carolina comes as
he is facing some criticism over the deployment of the
National Guard and now US Marines to help deal with
the immigration protests we've seen here in Los Angeles. The
Secretary of a Defense Pete Hegseth, the Army Secretary drant
(22:21):
Dan Driscoll will also be at this event today. Trump
has promoted the Army's anniversary as a reason to hold
the military parade coming up on Saturday, which happens to
be his seventy ninth birthday.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Just this hour, Govin Gavin Newsom asking for a block
of Trump's deployment of the National Guard and Marines, asking
for an emergency motion. They have filed an emergency motion.
I guess I should say for an emergency court hearing
to settle this. Newsom saying through documents, the federal government
(22:55):
is turning the military against American citizens. This is unprecedented,
threatens the very core of our democracy.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
The two continue to go tit for tat Trump City
phone knew Someom yesterday.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Oh here's that SoundBite.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
By the way, the question came during the White House
a White House event for something else. The question came,
when did you last speak to governor news So, when was.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
The last time you spoke of governors.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
A day ago called him up to tell him kind
of do a better job.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
He was doing a bad.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Job, causing a lot of death and a lot.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Of potential death.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
If we didn't send out the National Guard, and last
time we gave him a little additional help, you would
have Los Angeles would be burning right now. Los Angeles
would be not a lot different than what you saw
take place in California and Los Angeles just a little
while ago.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Now. In response, Newsom said there was no call, not
even a voicemail. Trump also, in that availability with the media,
warned other cities that anti ice protests would be met
with equal or greater force than Los Angeles demonstrations plan
today for New York, Atlanta and elsewhere. He did say
(24:09):
he was gonna or could invoke the Insurrection Act in California.
ATel reporters, the people that are causing the problem, or
professional agitators, they're insurrectionists.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Already, an additional deployment of the National Guard has been activated,
as well as seven hundred marines. And again, just to reiterate,
the chief of the LAPD and the mayor of Los
Angeles have said, we don't need that and it could
cause communication complications.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Shall we say when we get all those agencies together?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And Chief McDonald was talking specifically about if things start
really going south. There's as if things go the way
they've gone for the last four days now, you're not
going to see marines shoulder to shoulder with LAPD or
La County Sheriff's Department on these skirmish lines, pushing people
out that the job of local law enforcement. The Marines
(25:03):
in the National Guard are stationed around federal buildings to
protect the federal buildings and the federal personnel. But if
things went more, if they advanced farther, there were more
people or of things, the situation got more out of hand.
That's when the Chief was explaining that could really be
a problem us trying to coordinate with federal agents.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
The introduction of a federal military personnel without direct coordination
creates logistical challenges and risks confusion during critical incidents.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Which nobody wants to see, at least nobody on outside
of downtown LA.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Do you want some breaking news, Please.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Tell me this is about Megan Markele. You've really let
me down without you haven't broken enough. Megan mind, I
don't break.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
That news to you.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
You are the Megan Markel officiado of record. You are
the one who brings the Megan Markel news to me.
I do not look for it, I do not seek it.
I do not wish for it. This is about Aaron Rodgers.
You thinks she doth protest too much? Aaron not going
to play for the Steelers. Now Aaron Rodgers will be
playing for the Steelers, okay, and wearing is married too.
(26:12):
So this came out on social media a day or
two ago. I want to say, within the past forty
eight hours. Somebody sees Aaron Rodgers with a blonde outside
of a hotel and she's wearing a wedding band. The
engagement rang the whole thing and wasn't able to take
a picture. It's just a tale told on social media. Well,
(26:33):
he held a press availability from the Steelers facility today
and confirmed that he is married. Two He made the
announcement to the media following his first workout with the
Steelers that he tied the knot a couple of months ago.
We don't know any more specifics about his partner of
(26:54):
the nuptials. He did accept some congratulations from at least
one of the journalists in attendance, I guess. At the
Kentucky Derby last month, he showed up to Churchill Downs
rocking a black band on his left ring finger, stayed
quiet about it, never revealed whether or not he'd gotten married,
(27:17):
even to friends like Pat McAfee. Later seen wearing it
when he made an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, and
then when he played golf he had it on, and
then the girl was seen. In December of last year,
during one of his only recent public conversations about his
dating life, Rogers told Pat McAfee he was dating a
woman named Brittany with an eye with an eye or
(27:41):
two eyes one eye at the end. What about the
b R I yeah, well, yeah, okay, anemone. Anyway, this
is funny just because there's been like two girls that
we know of, maybe three, that have come out recently
saying that dating Aaron Rodgers was like soul crushing, super
(28:03):
unhealthy and toxic and awful and they can't even talk
about it because it was so bad. And now he's married,
and now he's married, Well, it won't be a distraction,
will it.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
I guess not. John Cobalt Show coming up next. We'll
see you tomorrow.
