Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Like you're only as happy
as your unhappiest child, if you're a parent.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I heard. I don't know that, but I'm sure it goes.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Before the font of knowledge. And I don't know if
that's true. I'm not a parent, but that is a true,
is it? That's exactly how I feel. It's exactly how
I feel with the Chargers and the forty nine Ers.
I want it, I know, But you're only as happy as.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Your unhappy as child. Like the Chargers are.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
In a state of disaster on defense, complete unraveled, unmitigated disaster.
They have regressed, they can't do anything. It's awful. And
then the forty nine Ers come out and the practice
squad beats a hot Atlanta Falcons team, and Christian McCaffrey
(01:04):
is vintage and Mac Jones is incredible in the backup role,
and they're doing it without Fred Warner. Defense put up great, great,
great resistance to that run game, Robert Sala elevating the
guys off the practice squad making them look like veterans,
(01:25):
and I want to be so happy. But in the
recess of my mind, I have my sad child.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
That just got crushed at home.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Had forty points hung up on them, and I can't
be as happy for my other child as I want
to be.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
That is a perfect analogy. It's perfect. Okay, it's how
I feel. It really is.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Well, last night, go ahead, Elmer, hit that one button
that makes my computer going there it is. Nope, how
about this one? Nope, try it again. There we go,
Oh Toddy.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Oh Tony, Oh Tony has done it again, his third
home run.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I know it was Friday night, but holy mother buckets
of baseball, that was so The argument is that that
was the best baseball game played by a professional baseball
player ever ever.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I was talking about how my husband had a work
event at his boss's house on Friday.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I was gonna ask you about this. I assumed they
would have the game on. They did not.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Okay, So we're pulling up to the home and it's
at his boss's home.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So it's like, you've.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Got to be engaged, You've got to be in. You
can't be you can't be that guy that's on the
phone away to the back of the bar. And no,
you can't sneak away to the back of the bar.
It's in someone's home. You have to be engaged and smile,
the smiles and all the things. And we're pulling up
to the home and show, hey, Atani had just struck
out the side and he had just hit his first
(03:15):
home run and his first at bat.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Which alone would have been alone was wild experience.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And I'm like, oh my goodness, oh my goodness. Well,
well of course they'll no doubt have the game on.
Make our way into the.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Home, and I could, I could just in my mind,
I picture you stepping through the threshold and realizing there's
no sound of the game on. Wait a minute, well
maybe they're just watching it. They're not listening to it,
But how would they know what's going on? Just see
(03:51):
now the tension building in your body.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
The good thing is that this is my husband's team,
you know what I mean, like the Dodgers. He cares
more about this than I could ever care about it.
And I was not alone in Wane to see the game.
Several people there also wanted to see the game. And
everything's fine, everything's top asthetic, And I'm i do go
at one point and get my phone out of my
jacket and just there there were some tables there and
(04:16):
just put the phone down, just checking the score, you know,
and then in quiet conversation, you're like.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
The bottom of the fourth, you know, and you're just like.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Right, it's like how they passed classified information, you know,
in Washington. But anyway, we were driving home when Shohy
hit his third home run, and I said to my husband,
at this point we had just left. I go, this
is one of those moments where we're going to remember
where we were. You know, there's certain things where you
(04:47):
remember where you were. You hear it on the radio.
I remember where I was when they found Elizabeth Smart.
I remember I was in Seattle. I was on an assignment,
and I remember that I was pulling into a church.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I remember where I it was. When they're like, elizabus
Smart has been found. I'm like what nine.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
It was the top of the hour CBS news update,
and I'm like, the what.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
The casey?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
A lot of might have true crime connections to Casey.
Anthony Jerry comes back and she's acquitted. I remember we
were driving up to Tahoe here on the radio and
this is one of those things where it's like third
three home runs from a guy who just pitched six
shutout innings.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Uh and in the last several games before that had
been dog crap.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I mean, he just was They did hit that triple
in the game before, right, but anybody else you would
have been like, they're back and they hit a triple.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
But it was just such a drought in the you know,
after the game against the first game against the Reds,
he just disappeared and looked awful and talked about and
people were talking about his swing looks bad. It's not
something's going on. It's not the right it's not the
same guy. And then to unload in one game. The performance,
the pitching performance alone was really good, was really good.
(05:59):
And then three home runs on top of that in
a playoff game like this, And how does.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
He leave the stadium driving the stroller. He leaves the
stadium like a dad at Disneyland on a Saturday afternoon,
just a regular guy driving the stroller to the car
with the kid inside.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
So that powers them to the World Series again. The
World Series will start on Friday. Tonight is Game seven
in the ALCS, the Mariners against the Blue Jays, George
Kirby pitching for the Mariners, and then Shane Bieber for
the Blue Jays. And it depends on who wins where
it goes, because if the Mariners win, then it will
(06:38):
start at Dodger Stadium Friday night. If the Blue Jays win,
it starts at Rogers Center in Toronto on Friday night.
So we'll have to wait and see first pitch tonight.
I think it's just after five o'clock up in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
All right, Are there are other things going on in
the world. It really does, I don't think so. I
didn't find a new wife at the family reunion, not yet.
Did you make a connection least? No, No, everybody, there
were no new people. There, no third cousin piqued your interest.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
But I got to tell you, sometimes the simple things,
the hot dog and the beans, yeah, just hit so good.
I don't know what it was, but it was such
a perfect meal. It was so great.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
That's one of the things that's great about you.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You are the kind of guy who you can give
a hot dog in beans to and you'll be just
as happy as if somebody put down a porterhouse.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Chateaubriand which I don't think I would eat because I
guess too much, too much for you, too much pomp
and circumstance. They bring the whole thing to the table,
they make a thing of it. You're like, oh my god,
I have attention on me, and I have this big
side of beef.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I'll just take the ground beef, Patty.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Please, Can I have the whiteness of white trash thing
you've got back there?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, I know that you were busy also with the
no Kings protests over.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
The I was not you were. I didn't see any. Actually,
I thought I would see some up like a big
dumb animal, just to prove.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
We'll talk about that also, Marie, I believe that I.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Would be one of those people back in the day
in Boston throwing like things tea into the whatever that
body of water is Boston Harbor, right, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Like being that guy.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
But I'm not the guy who's going to dress up
in hats and fluffy costumes.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
We all like right around.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
We all like to think we're on the right side
of history or you're right, you're totally animals.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Hey, look at this.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
We were out of the studio, but somebody left one

That keyword grand goes on the website. Keep an eye
on your email, since winners are notified with a nice,
official looking letter that says that the that they won
a thousand dollars. Let's say over the weekend there were
a bunch of no kings protests.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Before we get to that, can we talk about the
potential of the entire internet shutting down again?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Oh? Does this worry anybody?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I have seen this coming, We have talked about this.
The potential for this has moved off of the pages
of books and scripts and is a very much real
possibility I think websites services across the United States and
around the world are still struggling to recover. There was
a problem at Amazon Web Web Services cloud.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Computing, and that left well.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
It underpins much of the and every day online tools,
and it went offline because one of its core database
products faltered. This includes sites like Snapchat to the McDonald's app.
I know, I know, I know, everyone calmed down, calm down,
(10:18):
Amazon's ring, doorbell cameras, Roadblocks, Fortnite. All of these things affected,
including companies like financial services that use cloud based servers
to host their data. Complete unplanned outage as you can expect.
AWS first report of the problem at three eleven am
Eastern says it was dealing with an operational issue affecting
(10:41):
fourteen different services in its center in northern Virginia. A
thousand sites and services across the world were offline. Man,
you take away snap and McDonald's and fortnite and roadblocks?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
What do you do? Anarchy? Why are you can start?
Why do you even do the week?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Just stay in bed at that point, just stay in bed,
and how ready that you don't wake up?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Just you want to sleep through it? I mean not
that you don't wake up.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I mean eventually you would, but that by the time
you wake up that all of this is back.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Just close your eyes, close your eyes. Battened down the hatches.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
But Amazon Amazon does say most of the services are
back online, so that's good.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, but but what happened, like was this intentional? Did
somebody take this out? Is it proof somebody can take
this out at at will?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
So that okay, So you raise a question that I
actually thought about. It wasn't in this context. But I
think the last time we were talking about one of
the cell services went to Verizon or tim Obi, one
of them went down, and I was trying to do
the math of does it benefit in this case Amazon
to come out and say it wasn't our fault, somebody
(11:57):
hacked us. Or is the benefit in them saying that's
just a glitch, it happens once in a while, we
apologize for the inconvenience.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
The better one is yes, because then you'll have the
other Amazon like services, other people in charge of computing
servers and things like that that can be like, yeah,
it happens, because you know what, it'll happen to them too,
and it'll happen to them and hoppen to them and
hop into them. Nobody wants to admit they're susceptible to
an attack. It makes you vulnerable, It makes you not profitable.
(12:29):
If you're susceptible to an attack a hack. Then suddenly
people that don't trust you as much, you say, it's
a glitch that just happens.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Okay, See, I think there's.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
A But I also think there's a flip side to that,
which is, we are so secure, our program is so
robust that the only way it would be taken down
is by an outside actor that would come in and
try to I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I mean, listen.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
It's one of those things where I could see both
sides of them, whatever statement they come up with, I
could see both sides about why it would potentially be beneficial.
But on the back end, someone's whatever conference room, if
they still even do that in Amazon, is like, what
the hell was that?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Why did we did Bob?
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Bob?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Did Bob spill this coffee on the mic? Switch again?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Come on, stop me, Bob sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Bob, you got to pick up the key. Read all right, Bob,
you're playing man, We're in zone.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Bob.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Pull your head out of your button, Bob, all right,
we'll continue here. Just maybe possibly, Hey, any part of
the show that you'd like to comment on.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
We welcome your comments. Dewey, We'll see.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
There's a talkback feature on the iHeart app, which is
when you're listening on the app, there's in a little
microphone button. It's a red button, white microphone. You tap
that and you can leave us a message.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Secret Service is investigating what they said was a suspicious.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Hunting stand in Florida.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
This would have been within sight of where Air Force
One lands when it takes the President to mar A Lago.
When senior law enforcement officials said the hunting stand was
found across from the airport and based on the condition,
they said it's been there for a while, nothing to
currently indicate that it was built to target the president.
But it's also nice to not have a hunting stand
(14:30):
near an airport.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Well, I mean, it's a different land. There are some
lands in Florida is a different land, Yes, I mean
you're not going to have that in Burbank, but there's
some places in this country where there's hunting stands all
over the place, right.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's not it's not a thing.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, But the fact that it would have been close
enough to where they're finding it now, right.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
That is problematic. Yes. Yes.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
A decade after a big study proved that feeding peanuts
to young babies could prevent peanut allergies, no research finds
the change has made a huge difference in the real world.
About sixty thousand kids have avoided developing peanut allergies, they say,
after guidance back in twenty fifteen told them, hey, peanuts
are okay, you don't have to be scared of peanuts.
(15:15):
The researchers found that peanut allergies and children declined in
children ages zero to three, declined by more than twenty
seven percent and more than forty percent after the recommendations
were expanded in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
So what did they find? They said, feed peanuts to
your kid right away.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
No, it's just don't avoid them like it's sometimes. What
was with that whole craze?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
It came out of nowhere, it felt like, But again,
not being a parent, I have no idea. Maybe it
was talked about for a long time before suddenly it
was like, do is have peanuts in it?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
My kid will die.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
And then the airlines all stopped with the peanuts and
you got the pretzels, which is fine. I like pretzels too,
but you know, and then you didn't hear about it ever.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Again.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, well they're saying it's it's clearly not a problem.
It's not as bad a problem as people had suggested. So, yeah,
there are going to be people who are allergic to things.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Was this a media driven allergy?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Absolutely, Well, then it's not just a media driven allergy.
It's a uptight parent driven allergy, which is awful. Jimmy
needs special treatment because Tommy special because Becky brought a
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches my kids for you. My
son ate thousands of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches by
(16:37):
the time he was nine years old, thousands, literally thousands,
and he ever, no one ever complained at school, no
one ever did this thing. But everybody liked to say, well,
you know, a peanut sensitivity or a nuts sensitivity.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No sense flex.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
If my kids showed sensitivity to nuts, I'd feet at
nothing but nuts. I'd be like, you're going to outgrow
this and we're going to do it right now again,
right away through the anaphylactic not a parent, exactly right.
Does your kid who's now no longer a kid, does
he like uncrustables?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yes, yeah, yeah, that's great. There's such a good big
kid food.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I wouldn't necessarily say it's a good big kid food.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Well, they're accepted, it's accepted.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yes, yeahbles also make my point.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
You made my point perfectly.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Organizers said that there were about seven million people out
at different No Kings rallies over the course of the weekend.
What was that two percent of the population of the
of the nation showed up to these No you did
not is what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
You did not go, did you? I did not. You
didn't so you didn't dress up like a frog? Well,
so what's what.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
The puffy animorphic? Is that a word anthropomorphic?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Okay I was missing some syllables, But you're people like
to dress up like puffy animals.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
They're trying to prove to critics of protests that they're
not violent, and they figure if they do it cartoony
like that they can prove to people they take that
argument out of the out.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Of the theater of public discourse.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Is anybody having public discourse and fear that a bunch
of white liberal people are going to get violent?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah? Really, I think so. Okay, but it's one of
those things there when we.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Don't see this as a violent population. The no Kings
protest people do not seem like a violent population. In fact,
I envision all of them in fluffy animal costumes like
they seem like a peaceful people.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Okay, But and I think this is where I have
a problem with it. Then you you take away the
serious nature of what if you're literally protesting.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
That you don't want king, you don't want an.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Autocracy, you don't want this is my problem, monarchy and everything,
then have the discourse, do it right, and do it seriously.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
But dressing like a fraud, like a moron. That's why
I'm asking.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
If the reasoning is they want to seem non violent,
that makes no sense to me because they already seem
non violent. When you put on an animal costume, to me,
it makes me feel like you're unseerious. It's the same
problem I had with the naked bike ride in Portland.
If you really want to protest Ice and Trump and
all of it. Just be serious about it. No one
thinks you're going to be out there shooting.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, prove to people you're non violent by being non violent.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
And they are nonviolent.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
You don't hear about people at these protests getting violent
with the women and the hats on Washington.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Nobody gets violent at those things with the hats. Remember that,
I do remember that. What an awful time, just protest.
Nobody needs a costume, no need to get.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Up and the iron listen. And there's an irony here
that I think you can't ignore.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Do whatever you want to do. It's America.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
You can't ignore the fact that if this this were
a kingdom, if this were a monarchy, if this were
an autocracy, you.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Would not be allowed to have a no king's protest. No.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
But they're saying that that's where it's headed, that he's
already showing king like behavior, and that it's eventually going
to get to that point, especially when he refuses to
leave the White House. You know what I'm curious about,
and I haven't read it runs again for Trump twenty eight?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Is it? He doesn't need to run again. He's just
say stop stop elections.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, you know what I'm interested to see and like
I said, I haven't read enough about this, But what
the plan is moving forward for Trump Inc? Not the
Trump Inc. Business side, but the Trump Inc. Political side
once he's done? What is the plan moving forward? What
is the master plan in his mind? Is it Donald
(20:51):
Trump Junior? Is it jd Vance? Is it he gets
to make the kings? You know? Is it Marco Rubio?
Does he get blessed? Does he kiss the ring enough?
What do people see happening in twenty twenty eight?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Question mark, if we have an election? If we have
an election, right, I don't know, that's a good That
would be interesting to hear.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
What his I mean?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
He would say something along the lines of he's not
thinking about it right now, but there are people whose
job is solely to think about that. Yeah, to position
these people, whoever it would be in the party for
the next step. Who's going to be the next person
up seven minutes to rob the louver?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, apparently all the security of the louver is outdated,
it's antiquated. It is child's play. When it comes to
twenty twenty five heists and angle grinders and grinders.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Certainly that's all it takes to steal millions and millions
of dollars worth of antiques.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Well, I imagine you did quite a bit of angle
grinding when you built your fence.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Zero angle grinding.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Oh, but you know how if I had to, No,
I did well. I used an angle grinder to cut
some bolts that were stuck out of the wall.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But that was very quick.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I knew I was looking at a man that has
experience in angle grinding.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Angle grinders, You too could rob the loop.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Do you ever remember or forget where all your lip
glosses and then you wear a jacket and you find
it all in one jacket.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I do have one specific jacket that I wear when
I wear my lip glosses, So yes, I do have
one pocket specifically. They're doing the two Monday night football
game thing again for the love and again. The timing
is last week they did two, one at four fifteen
and one at five fifteen. Today they're doing Buccaneers Lions
(22:48):
at four o'clock and then I did Texans Seahawks at
seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
So again, if you're on the.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
East coast, yeah, to stay up to day football. I mean,
I don't know, nobody cares about the Seahawks going to
say here and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You don't give too Where is that turotball game? Which
one the Seahawks game in Seattle. There was an article
this morning. I don't remember where I read it.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Maybe it was the Athletic Anyway, it's not not relevant.
They were talking about how Seattle lost its home field advantage,
which used to be the best in the country, the
best in the NFL when the Legion of Boom was
active and you could not, like, you couldn't go to
Seattle and execute.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
You just couldn't.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
It was too loud, the crowd was too powerful. It
was a true, true home field advantage, and that is evaporated.
You know, look no further than when the Seahawks opened
it up against the forty nine Ers. I mean, the
forty nine ers fan base say will travel, They're going
to travel everywhere, but Seattle has lost a major edge.
They don't win at home. It's not a sure thing anymore.
(23:54):
They have a better record I think on the road.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I'd be curious to see.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
And I'm sure someone who travels more for sports I'm
looking at. You might know which stadiums are, for example,
close to airports or easy to get to. It's like,
if you're just flying in for a game, is it
Seattle's not awful?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I mean, it's kind.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Of what fan base has money. The forty nine er
fans have a lot of money. It's why they're so
well traveled. They'll go everywhere, and they do Atlanta, for example.
They do not travel. That's not a fan base that travels.
It's also which cities have fan bases everywhere, you know,
like the Lakers. You're always gonna find Lakers fans, cowboys cowboys.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Well, there was a seven minute span of time early
yesterday morning, four suspects walked into they didn't really even
need to break into. They walked into the Louver, that
museum in Paris and stole nine pieces of Crown jewels.
They rob not just the most visited museum in the world,
(25:02):
but the French people themselves. According to the French government,
officials now trying to figure out how they're going to
up security at all of these.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I'd be curious what percentage of people who visit the
Louver are French?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Is it the pictures I saw of Okay, so when
this happened, they closed down that section of the Louver
and escorted everybody out of the entire museum. There were
a lot of people that were clearly not French citizens
there based on my.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, I'm just wondering, you know, last knowledge of French citizenship.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I'm just curious if it's one of those tourist attractions
that is also a treasured jeweled by the homeland, I
would not want to deal with all of that.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Ps. Well, it used to be.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I don't know if it still is, but the pro
tip on getting into the Louver and bypassing the majority
bulk of the line is to go to the entrance
that's in the underground mall through a bookstore.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Well, in this case, what they used was a molt moubleu,
which is a they I've seen it described as a
furniture lift or a mobile elevator, think of the stairs
on the truck that roll up to the side of
an airplane. But in this case, it's actually almost like
a cherry pecker that rides up a ramp. And what
(26:23):
they did was they got that basket lift to a
balcony outside gallery Dallon and slice through a window using
cutting tools, and then threatened museum staff with the angle
grinders that they were using and otherwise smashed through a
couple of display cases. They took necklaces, tiaras and brooches
(26:46):
from the now dispatched royal families. Apparently they dropped one
as well. They dropped the tiara, which was full of
diamonds and pearls. They left behind one hundred and forty
carrot diamonds, which would have been valued at about sixty
million dollars. And had they gone down that corridor a
little bit further, they would have come into the display
(27:07):
area for the Mona Lisa, which is under much more
security than just you know, Crown jewels.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I don't get it. That's the one thing I don't get.
At the louver of the Mona Lisa. It's this big, yeah,
that's what I've heard. It's nowhere near as big as
people think of it. It is not you know, it's
in the middle of the room on its own wall,
and it's in case in the big glass thing. It's
much larger than the actual photo itself, or not the photo,
but the painting.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I never got it about the Mona Lisa. I get
it as she's smiling, is what's going on with her?
So I don't know if I care enough what goes on.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
The last time we talked about the Louver would have
been in June. They went on museum workers went on
strike because they're said there were too many people and
not enough workers and other conditions that they needed to
be that needed to be addressed, including security. So if
you remember back in nineteen eleven, there was a museum
(28:07):
decorator named Vincenzo Perugia who stole the Mona Lisa.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I almost wonder if it's an inside job or a
job done by people are like, hey, we want to
let you know that your security sucks and here and
this is why we left that stuff behind.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Fix it. I don't know who's going to buy it.
Who's going to buy the stuff they stole? You know
what they're saying about it.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
They're saying that they're going to take it and disassemble,
like pull all the diamonds out and sell the diamonds
and stuff, so like they're going to take away all
the stitches off the show. Hey, home run ball and
sell each one. So Amy, you said that somebody's got
the third home run ball. It's a second home run
ball that went like four hundred and fifty eight yards
where everyone's rolling.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Yeah, that was insane, that was headed capacity. That's crazy.
But somebody's got their hands on the third home run ball. Yeah, yes,
and they're planning on selling it. I'm going to tell
you about that in the newscastle.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Excellent, Oh my God day tuned. Gary and Shannon will
continue right after 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
lap
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Like you're only as happy
as your unhappiest child, if you're a parent.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I heard. I don't know that, but I'm sure it goes.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Before the font of knowledge. And I don't know if
that's true. I'm not a parent, but that is a true,
is it? That's exactly how I feel. It's exactly how
I feel with the Chargers and the forty nine Ers.
I want it, I know, But you're only as happy as.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Your unhappy as child. Like the Chargers are.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
In a state of disaster on defense, complete unraveled, unmitigated disaster.
They have regressed, they can't do anything. It's awful. And
then the forty nine Ers come out and the practice
squad beats a hot Atlanta Falcons team, and Christian McCaffrey
(01:04):
is vintage and Mac Jones is incredible in the backup role,
and they're doing it without Fred Warner. Defense put up great, great,
great resistance to that run game, Robert Sala elevating the
guys off the practice squad making them look like veterans,
(01:25):
and I want to be so happy. But in the
recess of my mind, I have my sad child.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
That just got crushed at home.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Had forty points hung up on them, and I can't
be as happy for my other child as I want
to be.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
That is a perfect analogy. It's perfect. Okay, it's how
I feel. It really is.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Well, last night, go ahead, Elmer, hit that one button
that makes my computer going there it is. Nope, how
about this one? Nope, try it again. There we go,
Oh Toddy.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Oh Tony, Oh Tony has done it again, his third
home run.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I know it was Friday night, but holy mother buckets
of baseball, that was so The argument is that that
was the best baseball game played by a professional baseball
player ever ever.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I was talking about how my husband had a work
event at his boss's house on Friday.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I was gonna ask you about this. I assumed they
would have the game on. They did not.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Okay, So we're pulling up to the home and it's
at his boss's home.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
So it's like, you've.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Got to be engaged, You've got to be in. You
can't be you can't be that guy that's on the
phone away to the back of the bar. And no,
you can't sneak away to the back of the bar.
It's in someone's home. You have to be engaged and smile,
the smiles and all the things. And we're pulling up
to the home and show, hey, Atani had just struck
out the side and he had just hit his first
(03:15):
home run and his first at bat.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Which alone would have been alone was wild experience.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And I'm like, oh my goodness, oh my goodness. Well,
well of course they'll no doubt have the game on.
Make our way into the.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Home, and I could, I could just in my mind,
I picture you stepping through the threshold and realizing there's
no sound of the game on. Wait a minute, well
maybe they're just watching it. They're not listening to it,
But how would they know what's going on? Just see
(03:51):
now the tension building in your body.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
The good thing is that this is my husband's team,
you know what I mean, like the Dodgers. He cares
more about this than I could ever care about it.
And I was not alone in Wane to see the game.
Several people there also wanted to see the game. And
everything's fine, everything's top asthetic, And I'm i do go
at one point and get my phone out of my
jacket and just there there were some tables there and
(04:16):
just put the phone down, just checking the score, you know,
and then in quiet conversation, you're like.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
The bottom of the fourth, you know, and you're just like.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Right, it's like how they passed classified information, you know,
in Washington. But anyway, we were driving home when Shohy
hit his third home run, and I said to my husband,
at this point we had just left. I go, this
is one of those moments where we're going to remember
where we were. You know, there's certain things where you
(04:47):
remember where you were. You hear it on the radio.
I remember where I was when they found Elizabeth Smart.
I remember I was in Seattle. I was on an assignment,
and I remember that I was pulling into a church.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I remember where I it was. When they're like, elizabus
Smart has been found. I'm like what nine.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
It was the top of the hour CBS news update,
and I'm like, the what.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
The casey?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
A lot of might have true crime connections to Casey.
Anthony Jerry comes back and she's acquitted. I remember we
were driving up to Tahoe here on the radio and
this is one of those things where it's like third
three home runs from a guy who just pitched six
shutout innings.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Uh and in the last several games before that had
been dog crap.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I mean, he just was They did hit that triple
in the game before, right, but anybody else you would
have been like, they're back and they hit a triple.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
But it was just such a drought in the you know,
after the game against the first game against the Reds,
he just disappeared and looked awful and talked about and
people were talking about his swing looks bad. It's not
something's going on. It's not the right it's not the
same guy. And then to unload in one game. The performance,
the pitching performance alone was really good, was really good.
(05:59):
And then three home runs on top of that in
a playoff game like this, And how does.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
He leave the stadium driving the stroller. He leaves the
stadium like a dad at Disneyland on a Saturday afternoon,
just a regular guy driving the stroller to the car
with the kid inside.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
So that powers them to the World Series again. The
World Series will start on Friday. Tonight is Game seven
in the ALCS, the Mariners against the Blue Jays, George
Kirby pitching for the Mariners, and then Shane Bieber for
the Blue Jays. And it depends on who wins where
it goes, because if the Mariners win, then it will
(06:38):
start at Dodger Stadium Friday night. If the Blue Jays win,
it starts at Rogers Center in Toronto on Friday night.
So we'll have to wait and see first pitch tonight.
I think it's just after five o'clock up in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
All right, Are there are other things going on in
the world. It really does, I don't think so. I
didn't find a new wife at the family reunion, not yet.
Did you make a connection least? No, No, everybody, there
were no new people. There, no third cousin piqued your interest.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
But I got to tell you, sometimes the simple things,
the hot dog and the beans, yeah, just hit so good.
I don't know what it was, but it was such
a perfect meal. It was so great.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
That's one of the things that's great about you.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You are the kind of guy who you can give
a hot dog in beans to and you'll be just
as happy as if somebody put down a porterhouse.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Chateaubriand which I don't think I would eat because I
guess too much, too much for you, too much pomp
and circumstance. They bring the whole thing to the table,
they make a thing of it. You're like, oh my god,
I have attention on me, and I have this big
side of beef.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I'll just take the ground beef, Patty.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Please, Can I have the whiteness of white trash thing
you've got back there?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, I know that you were busy also with the
no Kings protests over.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
The I was not you were. I didn't see any. Actually,
I thought I would see some up like a big
dumb animal, just to prove.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
We'll talk about that also, Marie, I believe that I.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Would be one of those people back in the day
in Boston throwing like things tea into the whatever that
body of water is Boston Harbor, right, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Like being that guy.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
But I'm not the guy who's going to dress up
in hats and fluffy costumes.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
We all like right around.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
We all like to think we're on the right side
of history or you're right, you're totally animals.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:34):

official looking letter that says that the that they won
a thousand dollars. Let's say over the weekend there were
a bunch of no kings protests.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Before we get to that, can we talk about the
potential of the entire internet shutting down again?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Oh? Does this worry anybody?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I have seen this coming, We have talked about this.
The potential for this has moved off of the pages
of books and scripts and is a very much real
possibility I think websites services across the United States and
around the world are still struggling to recover. There was
a problem at Amazon Web Web Services cloud.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Computing, and that left well.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
It underpins much of the and every day online tools,
and it went offline because one of its core database
products faltered. This includes sites like Snapchat to the McDonald's app.
I know, I know, I know, everyone calmed down, calm down,
(10:18):
Amazon's ring, doorbell cameras, Roadblocks, Fortnite. All of these things affected,
including companies like financial services that use cloud based servers
to host their data. Complete unplanned outage as you can expect.
AWS first report of the problem at three eleven am
Eastern says it was dealing with an operational issue affecting
(10:41):
fourteen different services in its center in northern Virginia. A
thousand sites and services across the world were offline. Man,
you take away snap and McDonald's and fortnite and roadblocks?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
What do you do? Anarchy? Why are you can start?
Why do you even do the week?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Just stay in bed at that point, just stay in bed,
and how ready that you don't wake up?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Just you want to sleep through it? I mean not
that you don't wake up.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I mean eventually you would, but that by the time
you wake up that all of this is back.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Just close your eyes, close your eyes. Battened down the hatches.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
But Amazon Amazon does say most of the services are
back online, so that's good.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, but but what happened, like was this intentional? Did
somebody take this out? Is it proof somebody can take
this out at at will?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
So that okay, So you raise a question that I
actually thought about. It wasn't in this context. But I
think the last time we were talking about one of
the cell services went to Verizon or tim Obi, one
of them went down, and I was trying to do
the math of does it benefit in this case Amazon
to come out and say it wasn't our fault, somebody
(11:57):
hacked us. Or is the benefit in them saying that's
just a glitch, it happens once in a while, we
apologize for the inconvenience.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
The better one is yes, because then you'll have the
other Amazon like services, other people in charge of computing
servers and things like that that can be like, yeah,
it happens, because you know what, it'll happen to them too,
and it'll happen to them and hoppen to them and
hop into them. Nobody wants to admit they're susceptible to
an attack. It makes you vulnerable, It makes you not profitable.
(12:29):
If you're susceptible to an attack a hack. Then suddenly
people that don't trust you as much, you say, it's
a glitch that just happens.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Okay, See, I think there's.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
A But I also think there's a flip side to that,
which is, we are so secure, our program is so
robust that the only way it would be taken down
is by an outside actor that would come in and
try to I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I mean, listen.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
It's one of those things where I could see both
sides of them, whatever statement they come up with, I
could see both sides about why it would potentially be beneficial.
But on the back end, someone's whatever conference room, if
they still even do that in Amazon, is like, what
the hell was that?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Why did we did Bob?
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Bob?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Did Bob spill this coffee on the mic? Switch again?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Come on, stop me, Bob sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Bob, you got to pick up the key. Read all right, Bob,
you're playing man, We're in zone.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Bob.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Pull your head out of your button, Bob, all right,
we'll continue here. Just maybe possibly, Hey, any part of
the show that you'd like to comment on.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
We welcome your comments. Dewey, We'll see.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
There's a talkback feature on the iHeart app, which is
when you're listening on the app, there's in a little
microphone button. It's a red button, white microphone. You tap
that and you can leave us a message.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Secret Service is investigating what they said was a suspicious.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Hunting stand in Florida.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
This would have been within sight of where Air Force
One lands when it takes the President to mar A Lago.
When senior law enforcement officials said the hunting stand was
found across from the airport and based on the condition,
they said it's been there for a while, nothing to
currently indicate that it was built to target the president.
But it's also nice to not have a hunting stand
(14:30):
near an airport.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Well, I mean, it's a different land. There are some
lands in Florida is a different land, Yes, I mean
you're not going to have that in Burbank, but there's
some places in this country where there's hunting stands all
over the place, right.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's not it's not a thing.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, But the fact that it would have been close
enough to where they're finding it now, right.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
That is problematic. Yes. Yes.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
A decade after a big study proved that feeding peanuts
to young babies could prevent peanut allergies, no research finds
the change has made a huge difference in the real world.
About sixty thousand kids have avoided developing peanut allergies, they say,
after guidance back in twenty fifteen told them, hey, peanuts
are okay, you don't have to be scared of peanuts.
(15:15):
The researchers found that peanut allergies and children declined in
children ages zero to three, declined by more than twenty
seven percent and more than forty percent after the recommendations
were expanded in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
So what did they find? They said, feed peanuts to
your kid right away.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
No, it's just don't avoid them like it's sometimes. What
was with that whole craze?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
It came out of nowhere, it felt like, But again,
not being a parent, I have no idea. Maybe it
was talked about for a long time before suddenly it
was like, do is have peanuts in it?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
My kid will die.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
And then the airlines all stopped with the peanuts and
you got the pretzels, which is fine. I like pretzels too,
but you know, and then you didn't hear about it ever.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Again.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, well they're saying it's it's clearly not a problem.
It's not as bad a problem as people had suggested. So, yeah,
there are going to be people who are allergic to things.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Was this a media driven allergy?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Absolutely, Well, then it's not just a media driven allergy.
It's a uptight parent driven allergy, which is awful. Jimmy
needs special treatment because Tommy special because Becky brought a
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches my kids for you. My
son ate thousands of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches by
(16:37):
the time he was nine years old, thousands, literally thousands,
and he ever, no one ever complained at school, no
one ever did this thing. But everybody liked to say, well,
you know, a peanut sensitivity or a nuts sensitivity.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No sense flex.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
If my kids showed sensitivity to nuts, I'd feet at
nothing but nuts. I'd be like, you're going to outgrow
this and we're going to do it right now again,
right away through the anaphylactic not a parent, exactly right.
Does your kid who's now no longer a kid, does
he like uncrustables?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yes, yeah, yeah, that's great. There's such a good big
kid food.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I wouldn't necessarily say it's a good big kid food.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Well, they're accepted, it's accepted.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yes, yeahbles also make my point.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
You made my point perfectly.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Organizers said that there were about seven million people out
at different No Kings rallies over the course of the weekend.
What was that two percent of the population of the
of the nation showed up to these No you did
not is what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
You did not go, did you? I did not. You
didn't so you didn't dress up like a frog? Well,
so what's what.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
The puffy animorphic? Is that a word anthropomorphic?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Okay I was missing some syllables, But you're people like
to dress up like puffy animals.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
They're trying to prove to critics of protests that they're
not violent, and they figure if they do it cartoony
like that they can prove to people they take that
argument out of the out.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Of the theater of public discourse.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Is anybody having public discourse and fear that a bunch
of white liberal people are going to get violent?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah? Really, I think so. Okay, but it's one of
those things there when we.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Don't see this as a violent population. The no Kings
protest people do not seem like a violent population. In fact,
I envision all of them in fluffy animal costumes like
they seem like a peaceful people.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Okay, But and I think this is where I have
a problem with it. Then you you take away the
serious nature of what if you're literally protesting.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
That you don't want king, you don't want an.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Autocracy, you don't want this is my problem, monarchy and everything,
then have the discourse, do it right, and do it seriously.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
But dressing like a fraud, like a moron. That's why
I'm asking.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
If the reasoning is they want to seem non violent,
that makes no sense to me because they already seem
non violent. When you put on an animal costume, to me,
it makes me feel like you're unseerious. It's the same
problem I had with the naked bike ride in Portland.
If you really want to protest Ice and Trump and
all of it. Just be serious about it. No one
thinks you're going to be out there shooting.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, prove to people you're non violent by being non violent.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
And they are nonviolent.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
You don't hear about people at these protests getting violent
with the women and the hats on Washington.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Nobody gets violent at those things with the hats. Remember that,
I do remember that. What an awful time, just protest.
Nobody needs a costume, no need to get.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Up and the iron listen. And there's an irony here
that I think you can't ignore.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Do whatever you want to do. It's America.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
You can't ignore the fact that if this this were
a kingdom, if this were a monarchy, if this were
an autocracy, you.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Would not be allowed to have a no king's protest. No.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
But they're saying that that's where it's headed, that he's
already showing king like behavior, and that it's eventually going
to get to that point, especially when he refuses to
leave the White House. You know what I'm curious about,
and I haven't read it runs again for Trump twenty eight?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Is it? He doesn't need to run again. He's just
say stop stop elections.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yeah, you know what I'm interested to see and like
I said, I haven't read enough about this, But what
the plan is moving forward for Trump Inc? Not the
Trump Inc. Business side, but the Trump Inc. Political side
once he's done? What is the plan moving forward? What
is the master plan in his mind? Is it Donald
(20:51):
Trump Junior? Is it jd Vance? Is it he gets
to make the kings? You know? Is it Marco Rubio?
Does he get blessed? Does he kiss the ring enough?
What do people see happening in twenty twenty eight?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Question mark, if we have an election? If we have
an election, right, I don't know, that's a good That
would be interesting to hear.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
What his I mean?
Speaker 3 (21:13):
He would say something along the lines of he's not
thinking about it right now, but there are people whose
job is solely to think about that. Yeah, to position
these people, whoever it would be in the party for
the next step. Who's going to be the next person
up seven minutes to rob the louver?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, apparently all the security of the louver is outdated,
it's antiquated. It is child's play. When it comes to
twenty twenty five heists and angle grinders and grinders.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Certainly that's all it takes to steal millions and millions
of dollars worth of antiques.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Well, I imagine you did quite a bit of angle
grinding when you built your fence.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Zero angle grinding.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Oh, but you know how if I had to, No,
I did well. I used an angle grinder to cut
some bolts that were stuck out of the wall.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But that was very quick.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I knew I was looking at a man that has
experience in angle grinding.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Angle grinders, You too could rob the loop.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Do you ever remember or forget where all your lip
glosses and then you wear a jacket and you find
it all in one jacket.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I do have one specific jacket that I wear when
I wear my lip glosses, So yes, I do have
one pocket specifically. They're doing the two Monday night football
game thing again for the love and again. The timing
is last week they did two, one at four fifteen
and one at five fifteen. Today they're doing Buccaneers Lions
(22:48):
at four o'clock and then I did Texans Seahawks at
seven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
So again, if you're on the.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
East coast, yeah, to stay up to day football. I mean,
I don't know, nobody cares about the Seahawks going to
say here and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You don't give too Where is that turotball game? Which
one the Seahawks game in Seattle. There was an article
this morning. I don't remember where I read it.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Maybe it was the Athletic Anyway, it's not not relevant.
They were talking about how Seattle lost its home field advantage,
which used to be the best in the country, the
best in the NFL when the Legion of Boom was
active and you could not, like, you couldn't go to
Seattle and execute.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
You just couldn't.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
It was too loud, the crowd was too powerful. It
was a true, true home field advantage, and that is evaporated.
You know, look no further than when the Seahawks opened
it up against the forty nine Ers. I mean, the
forty nine ers fan base say will travel, They're going
to travel everywhere, but Seattle has lost a major edge.
They don't win at home. It's not a sure thing anymore.
(23:54):
They have a better record I think on the road.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I'd be curious to see.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
And I'm sure someone who travels more for sports I'm
looking at. You might know which stadiums are, for example,
close to airports or easy to get to. It's like,
if you're just flying in for a game, is it
Seattle's not awful?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I mean, it's kind.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Of what fan base has money. The forty nine er
fans have a lot of money. It's why they're so
well traveled. They'll go everywhere, and they do Atlanta, for example.
They do not travel. That's not a fan base that travels.
It's also which cities have fan bases everywhere, you know,
like the Lakers. You're always gonna find Lakers fans, cowboys cowboys.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Well, there was a seven minute span of time early
yesterday morning, four suspects walked into they didn't really even
need to break into. They walked into the Louver, that
museum in Paris and stole nine pieces of Crown jewels.
They rob not just the most visited museum in the world,
(25:02):
but the French people themselves. According to the French government,
officials now trying to figure out how they're going to
up security at all of these.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I'd be curious what percentage of people who visit the
Louver are French?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Is it the pictures I saw of Okay, so when
this happened, they closed down that section of the Louver
and escorted everybody out of the entire museum. There were
a lot of people that were clearly not French citizens
there based on my.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah, I'm just wondering, you know, last knowledge of French citizenship.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I'm just curious if it's one of those tourist attractions
that is also a treasured jeweled by the homeland, I
would not want to deal with all of that.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Ps. Well, it used to be.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I don't know if it still is, but the pro
tip on getting into the Louver and bypassing the majority
bulk of the line is to go to the entrance
that's in the underground mall through a bookstore.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Well, in this case, what they used was a molt moubleu,
which is a they I've seen it described as a
furniture lift or a mobile elevator, think of the stairs
on the truck that roll up to the side of
an airplane. But in this case, it's actually almost like
a cherry pecker that rides up a ramp. And what
(26:23):
they did was they got that basket lift to a
balcony outside gallery Dallon and slice through a window using
cutting tools, and then threatened museum staff with the angle
grinders that they were using and otherwise smashed through a
couple of display cases. They took necklaces, tiaras and brooches
(26:46):
from the now dispatched royal families. Apparently they dropped one
as well. They dropped the tiara, which was full of
diamonds and pearls. They left behind one hundred and forty
carrot diamonds, which would have been valued at about sixty
million dollars. And had they gone down that corridor a
little bit further, they would have come into the display
(27:07):
area for the Mona Lisa, which is under much more
security than just you know, Crown jewels.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I don't get it. That's the one thing I don't get.
At the louver of the Mona Lisa. It's this big, yeah,
that's what I've heard. It's nowhere near as big as
people think of it. It is not you know, it's
in the middle of the room on its own wall,
and it's in case in the big glass thing. It's
much larger than the actual photo itself, or not the photo,
but the painting.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I never got it about the Mona Lisa. I get
it as she's smiling, is what's going on with her?
So I don't know if I care enough what goes on.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
The last time we talked about the Louver would have
been in June. They went on museum workers went on
strike because they're said there were too many people and
not enough workers and other conditions that they needed to
be that needed to be addressed, including security. So if
you remember back in nineteen eleven, there was a museum
(28:07):
decorator named Vincenzo Perugia who stole the Mona Lisa.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I almost wonder if it's an inside job or a
job done by people are like, hey, we want to
let you know that your security sucks and here and
this is why we left that stuff behind.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Fix it. I don't know who's going to buy it.
Who's going to buy the stuff they stole? You know
what they're saying about it.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
They're saying that they're going to take it and disassemble,
like pull all the diamonds out and sell the diamonds
and stuff, so like they're going to take away all
the stitches off the show. Hey, home run ball and
sell each one. So Amy, you said that somebody's got
the third home run ball. It's a second home run
ball that went like four hundred and fifty eight yards
where everyone's rolling.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Yeah, that was insane, that was headed capacity. That's crazy.
But somebody's got their hands on the third home run ball. Yeah, yes,
and they're planning on selling it. I'm going to tell
you about that in the newscastle.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
