This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Today.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
This day in two thousand and two, I was at
Evergreen Medical Center.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Kirkland, breastfeeding. I was breastfeeding.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I was dealing with the birth of my daughter. She
was a day old today, twenty three years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
So I talked to her twice.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yesterday, which was nice for her birthday. So she was
going to go out with friends last night, hang out, so.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It was nice.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I had just graduated college and was just starting this
week at KFBK. Really, yeah, in Sacramento, we are old,
old people.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I don't look at it that way. Yeah, I do
see what I do, I see it. I see it
that way.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
So President Trump is on Air Force one. He is
on his way to Anchorage, Alaska, which, despite what you
may have heard, is not the capital of the state
of Alaska, but it is the home to one of
our joint military bases that's there. So this is where
the summit is going to take place between President Trump
and Russian President putin this whole discussion about what we
(01:23):
can expect out of this summit.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
It's been pretty interesting. I gotta say I was pretty surprised.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I'm not surprised, but Trump was pretty gracious about the
whole Zelenski being left out of this whole loop as
he was boarding Air Force one saying basically he'll let
Ukraine decide about any sort of land swaps. He said,
I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I'm here to
get them at a table. I thought that that was
(01:47):
a magnanimous of him.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, it also, thankfully, I think, is the right word
to say, lowers the expectations for what we can see
today here.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
By the way, Elmer, Yeah, everyone's lowering expectations.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You're over here. It's not a.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
They'll be discussed, but I've got to let Ukraine make
that decision, and I think they'll make a proper decision.
But I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I'm here
to get him at a table.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
And I think you.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Have two sides.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Look, Vladimir Putin wanted to take all of Ukraine. If
I wasn't president, he would right now be taking all
of Ukraine. But he's not going to do it.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
General Wes, speaking of that lowered expectation, General Wesley Clark
is the former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, and he says
all the goal of today is for the next meeting.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
He's got low expectations. He's set low expectations for this.
He really can be successful simply if there's no big
public blow up and he gets a second meeting. That's
really all he needs.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Remember the last time the President Trump sat down with
Zelenski and it did not.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Go well, went awful. That they want to avoid that.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Well, that's not what it's going to be. Listen, Putin
is already won here. Putin gets to be legitimized now.
Like I was saying yesterday, to say that Putin's not
a world leader and a legitimate threat and power is
just being silly. He's an awful person, he's a war criminal.
(03:23):
We don't need to ask an answered. But this does
legitimize him in terms of the United States President sitting
down and having a meeting with him. It makes him
a legitimate world power as opposed to just this world
power that's in the darkness and no one will talk
to him. It gives him some presence on the world stage,
(03:45):
which is why I feel like that's enough for them.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
To give him.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
If that's part of the bargaining chip, that's enough. The
idea that there would be a joint press conference with
two podiums, to me.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Is nuts.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
The fact that you would stand beside this guy and
take questions like he's a legitimate person who you're gonna
put on your level is crazy to me.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But he kind of I think your point is in
order to get what he wants what in order for
Trump to get what he wants, which is a ceasefire,
he has to kind of lay out the carpet for
the guy and treat him.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
That's done though, that's done. Taking the meeting I think
is red carpet enough. There's no reason for there to be.
And I don't think you know, this could be a
five minute meeting, it could be three hours. It's going
to be at twelve thirty hour time. They're both basically
flying in and flying out. Depending on how well it goes,
maybe they stay a little bit longer. But the plans
(04:44):
are they fly in, they fly out. It's like the
Chargers going to Brazil twelve hours in, twelve hours out.
But anyway, you don't know what's going to happen. I mean,
you know, Trump and Putin may walk into the room.
Putin may say, hey, this is all for optics. I'm
not giving I want land, and Trump's to be like, no,
(05:04):
I'm not here, you know what I mean. Okay, we're
not going to come to an agreement.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Goodbye.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It could be you know, ninety seconds, or they could
make hay out of this thing and stay in the
room and have lunch and have the joint press conference,
and it'd be a big freaking day.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
It would dominate the weekend if in fact it went
like that. If they did come out of it with
some agreement on a ceasefire.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
There's a problem, though.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You've got you've got a guy in Putin who has
double middle fingered Trump over and over again over the
last couple of months, where every time Trump would call
Putin or Putin would call Trump or however those phone
calls are made, they would discuss Trump at least would
say I told him no more missiles, no more babies
(05:53):
being killed, and then minutes or hours later Putin unleash
is another barrage of missiles and owns into Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And your point there is exactly why there's so much
hanging on this meeting. Because if any compromise is reached,
if any solution is reached and Putin goes back on
that after a face to face meeting, Trump will be
scorched earth on that mffort, which is like it will
be a global situation. It will not be Trump's personal bugaboo.
(06:21):
It will be all of our problem.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, And that's interesting because he takes things so personally.
When you supposedly give him your word about something, whatever
it is, and go back on your word, he usually
lights you up early. And he hasn't done that to
a degree that a lot of people think he should.
We'll talk more about this because there's a couple more
comments President Trump made on Air Force one on his
(06:44):
way to Alaska, and then former Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo has some thoughts about this discussion and not Trump,
but what Putin brings to the table in order to
try to, you know, make his case against a see.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Wouldn't be August without a new fire to tell you about.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
This one up near Acton.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
About three hundred acres burned yesterday, threatening some structures at
one point before Cruise got a handle on all of this.
Forward progress has stopped. In the hawk fire they're calling it.
Flames were cutting through some medium medium brush over the afternoon,
but by this morning, firefighters said at about three hundred
acres they have forty two percent containment. I mentioned the
(07:36):
handful of earthquakes that hit the Geyser area early yesterday morning.
They said that more than one hundred earthquakes were recorded
near the geysers out near Healsburg Cloverdale area, northern California.
The largest was about a four point zero, but one
hundred and seventeen quakes that they the vast majority of
them are tiny, so small that you wouldn't notice, And
(07:59):
the guys are not unusual to have a swarms of
earthquakes like that.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Tonight, It's gonna feel like playoff baseball around here. The
Dodgers take on the Padres at Dodger Stadium, first pitch
at seven. Listen to all Dodger games on AM five
to seventy LA Sports live from the Gallupin Motors Broadcast Booth,
and stream all Dodgers games NHD on the iHeartRadio app Keyword,
AM five seventy LA Sports and it is the Demon
(08:25):
Slayer hat giveaway tonight, which is going to be Baananas
what like the Demon Hunters. It's like the K pop
thing it is. I don't know I made that up,
but it seems it sounds.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Like very similar, very similar, very similar. So there.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
This isn't like when I mistook El Salvadoran Night for
Honduras Night, because I got in big trouble for that one.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I hope that's different.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Uh, we are going to be talking about the pod
different country. I know, it's a whole thing, just like
a Demon Hunter and Dream and Slayer.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Very different.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
But hey, listen, we're going to talk to somebody about
how the Dodgers Padres rivalry has become one of the
hottest in baseball, how that happened, the differences in culture,
and just how the programs are run. We're going to
find somebody who works here down at the sports station
to come on with us.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Do they coming up next hour?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
We are yeah. Oh I assume somebody will be in
the building.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
We'll see. It's a Friday. It's very touch and going.
I attendance. Please do not take roll call. We also
Michael Monks is going to join us.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Next hour, we have to talk about what happened yesterday.
Governor Newsom of course started his presidential campaign with a
very very rally like appearance to kick off the redistricting campaign.
I have a rant about this, and outside or nearby
there were immigration and Customs enforcement officers out there doing
(10:02):
an immigration operation.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
This was an awful thing that happened in Monrovia yesterday,
where there's a group of day labors that show up
for work every day at the home depot there right
next to the two ten. There was word that made
it through the crowd that immigration raids were happening. This
guy takes off, jumps a fence to the freeway, is
hit and killed by a car. Awful. Now, if Gavin
(10:29):
Newsom has any smarts or balls, or a combination of
the two, he will capitalize on this. He will capitalize
on the fact that Trump's raids led to the fear
that drove this man into oncoming traffic. That's what people
care about. That's the message that he should take to Trump.
(10:49):
This whole redistricting dog and pony show, nobody cares about.
It stirs up zero emotions, it steers up zero base
You want to prove to democrats across the country you
can take on Trump.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Take this issue up.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Go to Monrovia today, Go stand outside of that home depot,
Go be with that man's family that says, you know this,
The only thing this man did illegally was come to
this country to better.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Hopefully that's the case and he doesn't have a raption
a mile long.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But if the case is the only thing he was
doing here illegally was simply being here, that's what you
need to run with, Gavin. Not this redistricting crap no
one cares about.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
They got excited about it. We'll talk with Michael Munk's
next hour. Of course, President Trump is headed to Alaska
on Air Force one what he calls this high stakes
summit with Vladimir Putin, trying to work out or at
least get closer to a ceasefire deal for Ukraine, help
end the deadliest war that we've seen in Europe since.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
World War Two.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Secretary of State Mike Pompid Mike Pompeo was a Secretary
of State under the first term of President Trump, and
he said he doesn't trust Vladimir Putin at all.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I just I don't trust the darn thing he says.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
My sense is that he is playing to the President,
trying to create conditions that will give the President the
space to do what President Putin would like to have done.
But he's misreading President Trump. I think fundamentally, he's misreading
the fact that President Trump understands who the aggressor is here.
He knows the President Zelenski has already agreed to a ceasefire,
and then President Putin has steadfastly rejected that, and that
(12:28):
while they're meeting, there's likely to be missiles in the
air still killing Ukrainian kids. We can often be surprised
by what happens in these meetings. I hope there's a
positive surprise that comes out of today. It'd be a
great thing for the United States of America. But I'm
deeply skeptical of President Putin has demonstrated any willingness to.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Compromise a couple of cuts. By the way, from President
Trump on Air Force one.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Look, he's a smart guy, been doing it for a
long time, but so have I been doing it for
a long time. We get along, there's a good respect
level on both sides, and I think you know something's
going to.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Come of it.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Here's the weird part.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I guess there are other people coming with President Putin
to this discussion.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
We get along, there's a good respect level on both sides,
and I think you know something's going to come of it.
I notice he's bringing a lot of business people from Russia,
and that's good.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I like that because they want to do business.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
But they're not doing business until we get the worst out.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Of President Trump has said of Russia many times, or
I should say he has expressed admiration not just for
the way Russians do business, but because there's a metric
s ton of land that's available, and real estate is
his love language.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
No no, I mean yes, yes, yes, And and Trump has
done business in Russia since the late eighties. He went
to Russia to get dollars when he couldn't secure them
in the United States for his projects. He is tied
very closely business with business in Russia. His business ties
(14:05):
in Russia are deep, and they go back decades. And frankly,
the US and Europe are also tied to Russia when
it comes to money. This isn't as simple as wow,
he's a horrible person. Let's cut him off in energy.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
All of it production all of that stuff, and that
I think that's why President Trump on the campaign trail
was saying, obviously, you know I'm going to end this
day one, and he couldn't. He can't because of all
of those intricate ties between himself, right, and his family,
Europe and Russia.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
And money to be made in the future. He doesn't
want to shut the door on that as well.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I mean, this is.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
In terms of low expectations, the idea that even Trump
today said the best outcome today is a second meeting,
so that that kind of tempers the expectations, not a
great shot of getting any sort of a ceasefire deal
or anything like that. So anyway, again that takes place
the meeting. It's else supposed to take place right near
(15:01):
the end of our show. But if there's any news
that comes out of Anchorage, we'll definitely bring it to You're.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
It is Friday, It's August fifteenth, So we will later
in the show be doing what you learned this week
on The Gary and Shannon Show. So if you learned anything,
anything smart, anything unnecessary, But if you learn anything, you
can leave us a talk back message. When you're listening
on the app, you hit that little button and it
leaves us a quick message.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Just tell us what you learned this week while you
were listening. What did you learn.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
That you.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Don't like talking about aliens when you have to urinate? Okay,
I guess, I guess it was on this show. That
was after the show.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And sometimes when you have to pee, it's hard to
focus on anything nobody, especially when you're like in the wild,
you know, and the place where you're at the bathrooms
are out of order, and you know, which.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Is weird because I went earlier. I went when we
first got there and they were fine.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
You think I'm going to get ultimate dump in there
and shut down the.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Whole bathroom circuit like Carrie Bradshaw or something.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Have you seen this at all? Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Okay, wait, wait are you talking about the last episode,
the season finale where the toilet?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Oh? Yeah, how do you know about that?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Because it's in every headline and every tabloid about how awful,
What an awful way to end an awful show.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It was awful, The scene was awful, The show was awful.
I was thinking about this on the way in because
I saw the headline and just like that is over,
and man, am I relieved? And I think this is
the Sex and the City's Yeah, And I thought exactly,
because if you grew up with Sex and the City,
it's your drug and you have a loyalty towards it
as a woman, and you are going to consume every
(16:52):
product that they make for you, including the third season.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Of and just like that, which we all did and
we hated. Every moment was awful.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
The writing was awful, the fashion wasn't even that good,
the plot lines were bad, the relationship issues were awful,
and yet we had to It was like it was
like Heroin, where you're done taking Heroin, but you feel
like you still have to take it.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
That's what that show was.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
So today, now that we've all watched the season finale
and that's the last season, we're done with it, and
there's this sense of relief of I.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Don't ever have to watch that again.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I don't ever have to do that bad Heroin until
they do some sort of prequel to it.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
No, they're done, they know they're done. Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Good Tech bros and tech bosses have been rattled by
security threats over the last couple of years, and I
think of the biggest names that you can think of,
Think Mark Zuckerberg, Think Jeff Bezos, think Elon Musk, and
they are spending individually millions and in some cases tens
(17:59):
of millions of done just to keep themselves and their
families secure. There have been a couple of headlines recently
about Mark Zuckerberg and his place up in I want
to say it's it's Palo al To adjacent. I don't
remember exactly what the little tiny suburb is, but he
bought like eleven homes in one small neighborhood so that
(18:21):
he could have his close, he and his family, his
wife's families close, not next door, but close.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Are you serious? Yeah? I had never heard this eleven home.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I think it's eleven, so bought not like eleven in
a row, but I mean eleven that are all around
the corner from each other. God, and one of them
I think has turned into basically the school, private school
for his kids that he's that he's put up. Think
about Elon Musk. Elon Musk travels with almost two dozen
(18:52):
security people.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
That's not.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
A reception, not reception as secretaries or note takers. Or
whoever he would have assistance that he would have. Next,
we're talking security people, twenty security people. Following his stint
at the White House because of all of the heat
that he took for those first few months that he
was working with the Trump administration, Mark Zuckerberg spends about
twenty seven million dollars a year on protection for himself
(19:19):
and his family.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I wonder how much.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I don't know about the private protection world, but I'm
sure people listening do. If you were just to have
like one security guard escort you to and from wherever
you're working, you know, or on the weekend, I guess
with your family, is it like hiring a nanny?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I would think it'd be like hiring nanny, like one
hundred thousand dollars a year, fifty thousand dollars a year
for people that spend that kind of money on around the.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Clock protection or well it de Ken's now you say
a round the clock? Are you talking twenty four hours?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
That's the thing I'm thinking about like home healthcare right
that will run you one hundred thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
So yeah, I mean round the clock. I guess it
parked outside or what have you. I have a hard time.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I have a hard time figuring out twenty seven million
dollars a year on protection. I guess you're flying them,
so wherever you're flying, sure they live with you. There's
a whole team of them. So I mean that's at.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
The size of your family. I mean, Elon Musk, I'm
assuming probably pays for some amount of protection for every
one of his kids.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
He's got at least eleven. I think something like that.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Wow, Zuckerberg has a couple of kids, but he's got
a big family.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
How much do you pay for protection for your family?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
You have that ring camera? Right? How much that run?
Speaker 6 (20:43):
You?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Undred bucks?
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Buckle?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Years ago? Okay?
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Jensen Wong, the executive of Nvidia, he increased his security spending,
almost doubled it. It's now at three and a half
million dollars. He was concerned about his name being out
there because of the deals that he's been able to
get into and because of the lobbying of the Trump
administration over exports to China. It's not just you know,
(21:12):
the stalker, the people who are angry. It goes as
far as people who have tried to assassinate these tech moguls.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
I would not be surprised.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Elon Musk told shareholders last year that he had two
attempts on his life in the previous seven months leading
up to that shareholders meeting, and that he spends two
point four million on just his security. There is, for example,
Jeff Bezos. Bezos spends about a million or Amazon I
(21:43):
should say, spends about a million six to protect Jeff
Bezos and now his wife Lauren Sanchez, the CEO. Could
you even name the CEO of Amazon? No, not Jeff Bezos,
but the current CEO. He has a secure already budget
of one point one million dollars a year. How much
(22:05):
and how much does that increase after the Louis Mangioni
case out of New York where he shot and killed
the CEO of United Healthcare. Granted it's a different industry,
but the idea that a CEO could potentially be a
target because of someone's political stance or you know, feelings
about a specific industry, you take.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It out on one individual person.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Have you heard about the catfishing scam that is embroiled
women's golf? Here is the gist of the con social
media user, A fan of a specific golfer scam account
impersonating that athlete, reaches out and quickly moves the conversation
to Telegram or WhatsApp. Scammer offers an experience, a desirable object,
(22:53):
maybe a dinner, maybe a tournament, something like.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
That, for a fee.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
The social media user will give cryptocurrency or gift cards,
and then the scammer disappears. This is a subset of
people that I'm concerned about, people that are that fanatical
about women's golf that will go.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
And it's not that I don't think it's the game itself.
It's that that a lot of these women are attractive.
Oh so like male golfers. That's the only reason people
watch male golf.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Guys are hot, look good in the outfits, you know,
watch it for their athletic prowess.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Come on, Gary and Shannon will cone like they're real athletes.
They just look good.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
There is an increased demand for dog wolf hybrids in
the pet world.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Don't need to tell.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
You that that is a problem if that is become
the pet dajour can't have wolves running around with urban moms.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
What if I cross bred my Scottish terrier with a wolf.
That would be cool. Scottish wolf. That would be fun.
That would be fun. We should do that. Does that
dog still have its baby making stuff? No? No, we'd
have to do some sort of cloning operations, some sort
of Petritish thing. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Aaron has become a Category one hurricane, expected to strengthen
very quickly this weekend, potentially to a major category for hurricane.
After it leaves the Caribbean. Aaron is expected to set
its sight on the East coast of the US. They're
talking about the severity of the impact is going to
depend obviously on the track of the eye of the storm.
They do expect high surf, heavy rain expected basically from
(24:41):
Georgia up through possibly New York, even if Erin never
makes landfall.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Along the East coast. There's a catfishing scam. Oh wait,
before you get to catfishing.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
But we're talking security, right about corporate security, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
So you're looking for the corporate and exit kative security world.
One person that has law enforcement or military background. A
company will charge anywhere between sixty to eighty dollars an
hour for them, and they're armed and have a lot
of experience, and then that's just for an eight to
ten hour shift. And then if you're looking to cover
their medical expenses over time all that stuff, they're a
(25:18):
full time employee, that's about one hundred and fifty thousand
a year for one person. So it can add up fast.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You can hire somebody for about a book fifty Okay,
it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That makes sense. Yeah, all right, So I told you, well,
I didn't know. You don't know. Well, that's why you
asked the question, that's why you google.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
All right, So there's a con going on out there
where apparently I didn't know this, but women's golf has
the very devoted, fanatical fan base, and now scammers are
realizing that and taking advantage of it. Let's see, Rodney
is open and ram account with the handle LPGA fanatic

female golfers and a few other accounts that looked official
within twenty minutes of creating his. Account by the, Way,

Real kelly Nor Nelly corda was not Messaging, rodney And,
rodney by the, way does not really. Exist the athletic
created this to try to test the rumor that this
is going on.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
This social media.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Social media user is a fan of a specific golfer
scam that accounts of impersonating the, athlete reaches out quickly
moves the conversation to another. Platform scammer offers some object private, DINNER,
vip access to a, tournament something like, that all of
it for a, fee and then they ask for the.
PAYMENT i just need to cover the cost of the,
(27:25):
something and that, fee of course comes via crypto or gift.
CARDS i, mean it all boils down to at its,
bones it's always the. Scam it's just ever dressed in
a different. OUTFIT i JUST.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I have a hard time overcoming these mental.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Hurdles why would you think a professional golfer is interested
in you and WOULD dm you On? Instagram and why
would she need? Money why are any of these explained
away with JUST i want to believe That Jerry rice
would slide into MY dms and be, Like, Hey I'm Jerry.

Rice like if there was any indication like that's assuming
you fall for all of the other things that you fell,
for you, KNOW i don't.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Know that's a hard that's a hard lift for me
to figure.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Out Last, may a guy From pennsylvania in his sixties
drove four hours To Liberty National Golf club In Jersey
city for the Missou Mizuho America's. Open he said he
was there to Meet Rose. Zhang she's twenty, two he's
in his, sixties he told the term and staff. There
she left him A vip package and even booked him
a hotel. Room oh my, god BECAUSE i have the
(29:06):
receipts right. Here we've been talking on social media for
over a, year during which he sent her about seventy thousand.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Dollars.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Wow the agent For rojang had to confront the guy and, say, sorry,
sir but that Wasn't rose that you were talking, to
AND i don't know where your money.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Is that's. Awful.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Now one of the things that happens, is AND i
think you're going to see this specifically more with college
athletes and their, name image and. Likeness, listen it's it's
hard to ignore the fact that female college athletes are
using their bodies to get attention on social, media and
(29:48):
some of them have turned that into very lucrative. Careers
but with that comes the threat of your images being
used for scams just like, this And LADIES pg has
played up the fact that they have a lot of,
young attractive women now playing golf that maybe. Wasn't they
weren't being paid attention to the way they. Were they
(30:10):
weren't being paid attention to twenty years ago the way
they are.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
NOW i.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
See so not that it all boils down to, that
but a lot of times it all boils down to.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
That, Yep, sorry it's.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Dudes usually you don't like it WHEN i do that
with my. Hand I'M i. IGNORE i ignore everything that just. Happened,
okay what you, said what you, did all of. It
Michael munks is coming. In we're going to be talking
About Gavin newsom's press conference from me, yesterday the, fallout
the response from, that what happened with the ice raid
(30:48):
In monrovia at the home depot unfortunately ended in unthinkable,
tragedy and where we're going to move forward with. THAT
i Think Gavin newsom needs to go out there today
if he wants to be serious about Taking trump on
on this is how you do.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
It Kind of surprised he hasn't done it. Yet, yeah
it's a missed opportunity if he. Doesn't gary And shannon
will continue right after.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
This 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 ap
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Today.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
This day in two thousand and two, I was at
Evergreen Medical Center.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Kirkland, breastfeeding. I was breastfeeding.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I was dealing with the birth of my daughter. She
was a day old today, twenty three years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
So I talked to her twice.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yesterday, which was nice for her birthday. So she was
going to go out with friends last night, hang out, so.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It was nice.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I had just graduated college and was just starting this
week at KFBK. Really, yeah, in Sacramento, we are old,
old people.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I don't look at it that way. Yeah, I do
see what I do, I see it. I see it
that way.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
So President Trump is on Air Force one. He is
on his way to Anchorage, Alaska, which, despite what you
may have heard, is not the capital of the state
of Alaska, but it is the home to one of
our joint military bases that's there. So this is where
the summit is going to take place between President Trump
and Russian President putin this whole discussion about what we
(01:23):
can expect out of this summit.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
It's been pretty interesting. I gotta say I was pretty surprised.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I'm not surprised, but Trump was pretty gracious about the
whole Zelenski being left out of this whole loop as
he was boarding Air Force one saying basically he'll let
Ukraine decide about any sort of land swaps. He said,
I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I'm here to
get them at a table. I thought that that was
(01:47):
a magnanimous of him.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, it also, thankfully, I think, is the right word
to say, lowers the expectations for what we can see
today here.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
By the way, Elmer, Yeah, everyone's lowering expectations.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You're over here. It's not a.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
They'll be discussed, but I've got to let Ukraine make
that decision, and I think they'll make a proper decision.
But I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I'm here
to get him at a table.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
And I think you.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Have two sides.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Look, Vladimir Putin wanted to take all of Ukraine. If
I wasn't president, he would right now be taking all
of Ukraine. But he's not going to do it.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
General Wes, speaking of that lowered expectation, General Wesley Clark
is the former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, and he says
all the goal of today is for the next meeting.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
He's got low expectations. He's set low expectations for this.
He really can be successful simply if there's no big
public blow up and he gets a second meeting. That's
really all he needs.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Remember the last time the President Trump sat down with
Zelenski and it did not.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Go well, went awful. That they want to avoid that.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Well, that's not what it's going to be. Listen, Putin
is already won here. Putin gets to be legitimized now.
Like I was saying yesterday, to say that Putin's not
a world leader and a legitimate threat and power is
just being silly. He's an awful person, he's a war criminal.
(03:23):
We don't need to ask an answered. But this does
legitimize him in terms of the United States President sitting
down and having a meeting with him. It makes him
a legitimate world power as opposed to just this world
power that's in the darkness and no one will talk
to him. It gives him some presence on the world stage,
(03:45):
which is why I feel like that's enough for them.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
To give him.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
If that's part of the bargaining chip, that's enough. The
idea that there would be a joint press conference with
two podiums, to me.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Is nuts.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
The fact that you would stand beside this guy and
take questions like he's a legitimate person who you're gonna
put on your level is crazy to me.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But he kind of I think your point is in
order to get what he wants what in order for
Trump to get what he wants, which is a ceasefire,
he has to kind of lay out the carpet for
the guy and treat him.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
That's done though, that's done. Taking the meeting I think
is red carpet enough. There's no reason for there to be.
And I don't think you know, this could be a
five minute meeting, it could be three hours. It's going
to be at twelve thirty hour time. They're both basically
flying in and flying out. Depending on how well it goes,
maybe they stay a little bit longer. But the plans
(04:44):
are they fly in, they fly out. It's like the
Chargers going to Brazil twelve hours in, twelve hours out.
But anyway, you don't know what's going to happen. I mean,
you know, Trump and Putin may walk into the room.
Putin may say, hey, this is all for optics. I'm
not giving I want land, and Trump's to be like, no,
(05:04):
I'm not here, you know what I mean. Okay, we're
not going to come to an agreement.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Goodbye.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It could be you know, ninety seconds, or they could
make hay out of this thing and stay in the
room and have lunch and have the joint press conference,
and it'd be a big freaking day.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
It would dominate the weekend if in fact it went
like that. If they did come out of it with
some agreement on a ceasefire.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
There's a problem, though.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You've got you've got a guy in Putin who has
double middle fingered Trump over and over again over the
last couple of months, where every time Trump would call
Putin or Putin would call Trump or however those phone
calls are made, they would discuss Trump at least would
say I told him no more missiles, no more babies
(05:53):
being killed, and then minutes or hours later Putin unleash
is another barrage of missiles and owns into Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And your point there is exactly why there's so much
hanging on this meeting. Because if any compromise is reached,
if any solution is reached and Putin goes back on
that after a face to face meeting, Trump will be
scorched earth on that mffort, which is like it will
be a global situation. It will not be Trump's personal bugaboo.
(06:21):
It will be all of our problem.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, And that's interesting because he takes things so personally.
When you supposedly give him your word about something, whatever
it is, and go back on your word, he usually
lights you up early. And he hasn't done that to
a degree that a lot of people think he should.
We'll talk more about this because there's a couple more
comments President Trump made on Air Force one on his
(06:44):
way to Alaska, and then former Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo has some thoughts about this discussion and not Trump,
but what Putin brings to the table in order to
try to, you know, make his case against a see.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Wouldn't be August without a new fire to tell you about.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
This one up near Acton.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
About three hundred acres burned yesterday, threatening some structures at
one point before Cruise got a handle on all of this.
Forward progress has stopped. In the hawk fire they're calling it.
Flames were cutting through some medium medium brush over the afternoon,
but by this morning, firefighters said at about three hundred
acres they have forty two percent containment. I mentioned the
(07:36):
handful of earthquakes that hit the Geyser area early yesterday morning.
They said that more than one hundred earthquakes were recorded
near the geysers out near Healsburg Cloverdale area, northern California.
The largest was about a four point zero, but one
hundred and seventeen quakes that they the vast majority of
them are tiny, so small that you wouldn't notice, And
(07:59):
the guys are not unusual to have a swarms of
earthquakes like that.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Tonight, It's gonna feel like playoff baseball around here. The
Dodgers take on the Padres at Dodger Stadium, first pitch
at seven. Listen to all Dodger games on AM five
to seventy LA Sports live from the Gallupin Motors Broadcast Booth,
and stream all Dodgers games NHD on the iHeartRadio app Keyword,
AM five seventy LA Sports and it is the Demon
(08:25):
Slayer hat giveaway tonight, which is going to be Baananas
what like the Demon Hunters. It's like the K pop
thing it is. I don't know I made that up,
but it seems it sounds.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Like very similar, very similar, very similar. So there.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
This isn't like when I mistook El Salvadoran Night for
Honduras Night, because I got in big trouble for that one.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I hope that's different.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Uh, we are going to be talking about the pod
different country. I know, it's a whole thing, just like
a Demon Hunter and Dream and Slayer.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Very different.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
But hey, listen, we're going to talk to somebody about
how the Dodgers Padres rivalry has become one of the
hottest in baseball, how that happened, the differences in culture,
and just how the programs are run. We're going to
find somebody who works here down at the sports station
to come on with us.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Do they coming up next hour?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
We are yeah. Oh I assume somebody will be in
the building.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
We'll see. It's a Friday. It's very touch and going.
I attendance. Please do not take roll call. We also
Michael Monks is going to join us.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Next hour, we have to talk about what happened yesterday.
Governor Newsom of course started his presidential campaign with a
very very rally like appearance to kick off the redistricting campaign.
I have a rant about this, and outside or nearby
there were immigration and Customs enforcement officers out there doing
(10:02):
an immigration operation.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
This was an awful thing that happened in Monrovia yesterday,
where there's a group of day labors that show up
for work every day at the home depot there right
next to the two ten. There was word that made
it through the crowd that immigration raids were happening. This
guy takes off, jumps a fence to the freeway, is
hit and killed by a car. Awful. Now, if Gavin
(10:29):
Newsom has any smarts or balls, or a combination of
the two, he will capitalize on this. He will capitalize
on the fact that Trump's raids led to the fear
that drove this man into oncoming traffic. That's what people
care about. That's the message that he should take to Trump.
(10:49):
This whole redistricting dog and pony show, nobody cares about.
It stirs up zero emotions, it steers up zero base
You want to prove to democrats across the country you
can take on Trump.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Take this issue up.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Go to Monrovia today, Go stand outside of that home depot,
Go be with that man's family that says, you know this,
The only thing this man did illegally was come to
this country to better.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Hopefully that's the case and he doesn't have a raption
a mile long.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But if the case is the only thing he was
doing here illegally was simply being here, that's what you
need to run with, Gavin. Not this redistricting crap no
one cares about.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
They got excited about it. We'll talk with Michael Munk's
next hour. Of course, President Trump is headed to Alaska
on Air Force one what he calls this high stakes
summit with Vladimir Putin, trying to work out or at
least get closer to a ceasefire deal for Ukraine, help
end the deadliest war that we've seen in Europe since.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
World War Two.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Secretary of State Mike Pompid Mike Pompeo was a Secretary
of State under the first term of President Trump, and
he said he doesn't trust Vladimir Putin at all.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I just I don't trust the darn thing he says.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
My sense is that he is playing to the President,
trying to create conditions that will give the President the
space to do what President Putin would like to have done.
But he's misreading President Trump. I think fundamentally, he's misreading
the fact that President Trump understands who the aggressor is here.
He knows the President Zelenski has already agreed to a ceasefire,
and then President Putin has steadfastly rejected that, and that
(12:28):
while they're meeting, there's likely to be missiles in the
air still killing Ukrainian kids. We can often be surprised
by what happens in these meetings. I hope there's a
positive surprise that comes out of today. It'd be a
great thing for the United States of America. But I'm
deeply skeptical of President Putin has demonstrated any willingness to.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Compromise a couple of cuts. By the way, from President
Trump on Air Force one.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Look, he's a smart guy, been doing it for a
long time, but so have I been doing it for
a long time. We get along, there's a good respect
level on both sides, and I think you know something's
going to.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Come of it.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Here's the weird part.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I guess there are other people coming with President Putin
to this discussion.
Speaker 8 (13:07):
We get along, there's a good respect level on both sides,
and I think you know something's going to come of it.
I notice he's bringing a lot of business people from Russia,
and that's good.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I like that because they want to do business.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
But they're not doing business until we get the worst out.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Of President Trump has said of Russia many times, or
I should say he has expressed admiration not just for
the way Russians do business, but because there's a metric
s ton of land that's available, and real estate is
his love language.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
No no, I mean yes, yes, yes, And and Trump has
done business in Russia since the late eighties. He went
to Russia to get dollars when he couldn't secure them
in the United States for his projects. He is tied
very closely business with business in Russia. His business ties
(14:05):
in Russia are deep, and they go back decades. And frankly,
the US and Europe are also tied to Russia when
it comes to money. This isn't as simple as wow,
he's a horrible person. Let's cut him off in energy.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
All of it production all of that stuff, and that
I think that's why President Trump on the campaign trail
was saying, obviously, you know I'm going to end this
day one, and he couldn't. He can't because of all
of those intricate ties between himself, right, and his family,
Europe and Russia.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
And money to be made in the future. He doesn't
want to shut the door on that as well.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I mean, this is.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
In terms of low expectations, the idea that even Trump
today said the best outcome today is a second meeting,
so that that kind of tempers the expectations, not a
great shot of getting any sort of a ceasefire deal
or anything like that. So anyway, again that takes place
the meeting. It's else supposed to take place right near
(15:01):
the end of our show. But if there's any news
that comes out of Anchorage, we'll definitely bring it to You're.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
It is Friday, It's August fifteenth, So we will later
in the show be doing what you learned this week
on The Gary and Shannon Show. So if you learned anything,
anything smart, anything unnecessary, But if you learn anything, you
can leave us a talk back message. When you're listening
on the app, you hit that little button and it
leaves us a quick message.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Just tell us what you learned this week while you
were listening. What did you learn.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
That you.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Don't like talking about aliens when you have to urinate? Okay,
I guess, I guess it was on this show. That
was after the show.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And sometimes when you have to pee, it's hard to
focus on anything nobody, especially when you're like in the wild,
you know, and the place where you're at the bathrooms
are out of order, and you know, which.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Is weird because I went earlier. I went when we
first got there and they were fine.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
You think I'm going to get ultimate dump in there
and shut down the.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Whole bathroom circuit like Carrie Bradshaw or something.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Have you seen this at all? Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Okay, wait, wait are you talking about the last episode,
the season finale where the toilet?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Oh? Yeah, how do you know about that?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Because it's in every headline and every tabloid about how awful,
What an awful way to end an awful show.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It was awful, The scene was awful, The show was awful.
I was thinking about this on the way in because
I saw the headline and just like that is over,
and man, am I relieved? And I think this is
the Sex and the City's Yeah, And I thought exactly,
because if you grew up with Sex and the City,
it's your drug and you have a loyalty towards it
as a woman, and you are going to consume every
(16:52):
product that they make for you, including the third season.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Of and just like that, which we all did and
we hated. Every moment was awful.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
The writing was awful, the fashion wasn't even that good,
the plot lines were bad, the relationship issues were awful,
and yet we had to It was like it was
like Heroin, where you're done taking Heroin, but you feel
like you still have to take it.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
That's what that show was.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
So today, now that we've all watched the season finale
and that's the last season, we're done with it, and
there's this sense of relief of I.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Don't ever have to watch that again.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I don't ever have to do that bad Heroin until
they do some sort of prequel to it.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
No, they're done, they know they're done. Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Good Tech bros and tech bosses have been rattled by
security threats over the last couple of years, and I
think of the biggest names that you can think of,
Think Mark Zuckerberg, Think Jeff Bezos, think Elon Musk, and
they are spending individually millions and in some cases tens
(17:59):
of millions of done just to keep themselves and their
families secure. There have been a couple of headlines recently
about Mark Zuckerberg and his place up in I want
to say it's it's Palo al To adjacent. I don't
remember exactly what the little tiny suburb is, but he
bought like eleven homes in one small neighborhood so that
(18:21):
he could have his close, he and his family, his
wife's families close, not next door, but close.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Are you serious? Yeah? I had never heard this eleven home.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I think it's eleven, so bought not like eleven in
a row, but I mean eleven that are all around
the corner from each other. God, and one of them
I think has turned into basically the school, private school
for his kids that he's that he's put up. Think
about Elon Musk. Elon Musk travels with almost two dozen
(18:52):
security people.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
That's not.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
A reception, not reception as secretaries or note takers. Or
whoever he would have assistance that he would have. Next,
we're talking security people, twenty security people. Following his stint
at the White House because of all of the heat
that he took for those first few months that he
was working with the Trump administration, Mark Zuckerberg spends about
twenty seven million dollars a year on protection for himself
(19:19):
and his family.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I wonder how much.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I don't know about the private protection world, but I'm
sure people listening do. If you were just to have
like one security guard escort you to and from wherever
you're working, you know, or on the weekend, I guess
with your family, is it like hiring a nanny?
Speaker 5 (19:41):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I would think it'd be like hiring nanny, like one
hundred thousand dollars a year, fifty thousand dollars a year
for people that spend that kind of money on around the.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Clock protection or well it de Ken's now you say
a round the clock? Are you talking twenty four hours?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
That's the thing I'm thinking about like home healthcare right
that will run you one hundred thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
So yeah, I mean round the clock. I guess it
parked outside or what have you. I have a hard time.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I have a hard time figuring out twenty seven million
dollars a year on protection. I guess you're flying them,
so wherever you're flying, sure they live with you. There's
a whole team of them. So I mean that's at.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
The size of your family. I mean, Elon Musk, I'm
assuming probably pays for some amount of protection for every
one of his kids.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
He's got at least eleven. I think something like that.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Wow, Zuckerberg has a couple of kids, but he's got
a big family.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
How much do you pay for protection for your family?
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
You have that ring camera? Right? How much that run?
Speaker 6 (20:43):
You?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Undred bucks?
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Buckle?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Years ago? Okay?
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Jensen Wong, the executive of Nvidia, he increased his security spending,
almost doubled it. It's now at three and a half
million dollars. He was concerned about his name being out
there because of the deals that he's been able to
get into and because of the lobbying of the Trump
administration over exports to China. It's not just you know,
(21:12):
the stalker, the people who are angry. It goes as
far as people who have tried to assassinate these tech moguls.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
I would not be surprised.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Elon Musk told shareholders last year that he had two
attempts on his life in the previous seven months leading
up to that shareholders meeting, and that he spends two
point four million on just his security. There is, for example,
Jeff Bezos. Bezos spends about a million or Amazon I
(21:43):
should say, spends about a million six to protect Jeff
Bezos and now his wife Lauren Sanchez, the CEO. Could
you even name the CEO of Amazon? No, not Jeff Bezos,
but the current CEO. He has a secure already budget
of one point one million dollars a year. How much
(22:05):
and how much does that increase after the Louis Mangioni
case out of New York where he shot and killed
the CEO of United Healthcare. Granted it's a different industry,
but the idea that a CEO could potentially be a
target because of someone's political stance or you know, feelings
about a specific industry, you take.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
It out on one individual person.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Have you heard about the catfishing scam that is embroiled
women's golf? Here is the gist of the con social
media user, A fan of a specific golfer scam account
impersonating that athlete, reaches out and quickly moves the conversation
to Telegram or WhatsApp. Scammer offers an experience, a desirable object,
(22:53):
maybe a dinner, maybe a tournament, something like.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
That, for a fee.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
The social media user will give cryptocurrency or gift cards,
and then the scammer disappears. This is a subset of
people that I'm concerned about, people that are that fanatical
about women's golf that will go.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
And it's not that I don't think it's the game itself.
It's that that a lot of these women are attractive.
Oh so like male golfers. That's the only reason people
watch male golf.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Guys are hot, look good in the outfits, you know,
watch it for their athletic prowess.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Come on, Gary and Shannon will cone like they're real athletes.
They just look good.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
There is an increased demand for dog wolf hybrids in
the pet world.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Don't need to tell.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
You that that is a problem if that is become
the pet dajour can't have wolves running around with urban moms.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
What if I cross bred my Scottish terrier with a wolf.
That would be cool. Scottish wolf. That would be fun.
That would be fun. We should do that. Does that
dog still have its baby making stuff? No? No, we'd
have to do some sort of cloning operations, some sort
of Petritish thing. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Aaron has become a Category one hurricane, expected to strengthen
very quickly this weekend, potentially to a major category for hurricane.
After it leaves the Caribbean. Aaron is expected to set
its sight on the East coast of the US. They're
talking about the severity of the impact is going to
depend obviously on the track of the eye of the storm.
They do expect high surf, heavy rain expected basically from
(24:41):
Georgia up through possibly New York, even if Erin never
makes landfall.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Along the East coast. There's a catfishing scam. Oh wait,
before you get to catfishing.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
But we're talking security, right about corporate security, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
So you're looking for the corporate and exit kative security world.
One person that has law enforcement or military background. A
company will charge anywhere between sixty to eighty dollars an
hour for them, and they're armed and have a lot
of experience, and then that's just for an eight to
ten hour shift. And then if you're looking to cover
their medical expenses over time all that stuff, they're a
(25:18):
full time employee, that's about one hundred and fifty thousand
a year for one person. So it can add up fast.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You can hire somebody for about a book fifty Okay,
it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
That makes sense. Yeah, all right, So I told you, well,
I didn't know. You don't know. Well, that's why you
asked the question, that's why you google.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
All right, So there's a con going on out there
where apparently I didn't know this, but women's golf has
the very devoted, fanatical fan base, and now scammers are
realizing that and taking advantage of it. Let's see, Rodney
is open and ram account with the handle LPGA fanatic
(26:03):
six' five one two quickly followed some verified accounts for
female golfers and a few other accounts that looked official
within twenty minutes of creating his. Account by the, Way,

pan of a fan of THE, Lgp Jesus Marian Jose ladies.

(26:46):
Real kelly Nor Nelly corda was not Messaging, rodney And,
rodney by the, way does not really. Exist the athletic
created this to try to test the rumor that this
is going on.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
This social media.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Social media user is a fan of a specific golfer
scam that accounts of impersonating the, athlete reaches out quickly
moves the conversation to another. Platform scammer offers some object private, DINNER,
vip access to a, tournament something like, that all of
it for a, fee and then they ask for the.
PAYMENT i just need to cover the cost of the,
(27:25):
something and that, fee of course comes via crypto or gift.
CARDS i, mean it all boils down to at its,
bones it's always the. Scam it's just ever dressed in
a different. OUTFIT i JUST.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I have a hard time overcoming these mental.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Hurdles why would you think a professional golfer is interested
in you and WOULD dm you On? Instagram and why
would she need? Money why are any of these explained
away with JUST i want to believe That Jerry rice
would slide into MY dms and be, Like, Hey I'm Jerry.
(28:03):
RICE i see that you're a. Fan you want to
come out to the field and have a, workout like
you want to toss balls to me or.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Whatever you want to sign? Football you want my, game Warn, Jersey.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
And i'd be, like, Yes Jerry, rice that sounds.
Speaker 1 (28:17):

rice getting?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Into And i'd Go i'd go To.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
What'sapp and then When Jerry rice is, like, Hey i'm
gonna need twenty five bucks in gift cards for this
football cover, Ship i'd be, Like, okay so it's Not Jerry,
Rice like if there was any indication like that's assuming
you fall for all of the other things that you fell,
for you, KNOW i don't.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Know that's a hard that's a hard lift for me
to figure.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Out Last, may a guy From pennsylvania in his sixties
drove four hours To Liberty National Golf club In Jersey
city for the Missou Mizuho America's. Open he said he
was there to Meet Rose. Zhang she's twenty, two he's
in his, sixties he told the term and staff. There
she left him A vip package and even booked him
a hotel. Room oh my, god BECAUSE i have the
(29:06):
receipts right. Here we've been talking on social media for
over a, year during which he sent her about seventy thousand.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Dollars.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Wow the agent For rojang had to confront the guy and, say, sorry,
sir but that Wasn't rose that you were talking, to
AND i don't know where your money.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Is that's. Awful.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Now one of the things that happens, is AND i
think you're going to see this specifically more with college
athletes and their, name image and. Likeness, listen it's it's
hard to ignore the fact that female college athletes are
using their bodies to get attention on social, media and
(29:48):
some of them have turned that into very lucrative. Careers
but with that comes the threat of your images being
used for scams just like, this And LADIES pg has
played up the fact that they have a lot of,
young attractive women now playing golf that maybe. Wasn't they
weren't being paid attention to the way they. Were they
(30:10):
weren't being paid attention to twenty years ago the way
they are.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
NOW i.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
See so not that it all boils down to, that
but a lot of times it all boils down to.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
That, Yep, sorry it's.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Dudes usually you don't like it WHEN i do that
