Speaker 1 (00:18):
What By the way, remember Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson.
They're a Naked Gun the new reboot and they're dating
and remember his wife. It apparently was all PR.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Not surprised, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I loved the idea that they were together, but I
didn't think it was real.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, it was all cooked up by their PR teams
in paramount. They haven't even seen each other from the
time the camera stopped rolling.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Serious. Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Wow, I kind of wanted that for both of them.
I kind of liked them together.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Same.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah that makes me kind of sad, right, But no,
I guess we can't.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, we can't have nice things.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Elm Keana. Did you also hate them? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Of the directors.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I thought she was a lesbian.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Well now she is, Okay, all right, So you didn't
hate that when it was happening.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I mean I was in elementary school.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
That was before your hatred set in. Yeah, it's when
your heart, before your heart hardened.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yep, you had still you still had stuff to believe it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Is it because you don't like being hit over the
head with somebody else's love. It doesn't it doesn't seem
genuine to you.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like I, Brian and I don't post
about our life together, right, and we don't like shove
that in people's faces.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
The American Military of love you don't need to listen
knows that you guys are in love.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Gary and I have our own.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Ideas about people who do that when they post all
the time and do protests too much, Like what's going
on whoa.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
I respectfully post you know am much, but you're not
overloading it.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
You're just like once in a yeah moon posting you
and your girlfriend. But there are some people that like
every single photo is a collage of their them.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And their significant other.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I don't see It's like I don't want to see that, right.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I don't see any posts about Diane on your Instagram's.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
On the stories you know would disappear.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
There's no hard post about Diane, not one hard post.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
She'll get a hard post when heyue.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
So, I took my four year old son to a
deli one day and I got him a little cup
of sliced pickles, and I wanted to see his face,
you know, one of those sour puss faces when he
ate his first pickle ever. And he took a bite
and he loved it. I hate pickles, but my son
(03:53):
loves them at the age of four.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, are you a Mormon?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Elmer?
Speaker 8 (03:59):
What a Mormon?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh, okay, I'm from the Bronx.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That doesn't preclude that. I was just looking at your Instagram,
and there's a hard post if you dressed up like
a Mormon going door to door. But yet no hard
post about Diane's.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Good, right, Yeah, I gotcha. Okay, it's time. It's time
for swamp Watch.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar,
and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that we got.
Speaker 8 (04:28):
The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
The other side never quit. So I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
So that you train the.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Swat, I can imagine what can be and be unburdened
by what has been.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
You know, Americans have always been gone, president, but they're
not stupid.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Have the people voted for you with not swamp watch?
They're all canoed, all right.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
The biggest deal out of DC today is that President
Trump revoked Kamala Harris a Secret Service protect According to
a copy of a letter that's been reviewed by media outlets,
former presidents. Former presidents receive Secret Service protection for the
rest of their lives, but Harris, as a former vice president,
does get six months of protection after she leaves office. Now,
(05:16):
that period ended on July twenty first, but her protection
had been extended for an additional year because of a
directive that was signed by President Biden just before he
left office. It's that directive the additional year that has
been taken away. But keep in mind, Secret Service protection
(05:37):
is not just bodyman, It's not just the team that
is around her all the time. It would be constant
analysis of threat intelligence, in person situations, emails, tax social media, etc.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So some of the aids that work with the former.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Vice president are concerned since she is going out on
a book tour coming up.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
We mentioned that.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Our bass both at least have connections to different levels
of law enforcement, and I think it's likely they'll be
able to cook up some sort of a security detail
or at least get her some sort of personal protection.
If she were to pay for it by herself, it's
going to be millions of dollars if it's going to
(06:26):
be anywhere close to the level of protection. We talked
about it a couple of a couple of months ago.
I believe we did discuss levels of high profile VIP
protection security teams, and they can run hundreds and hundreds
of thousands of dollars for like actors or high profile celebrities.
This goes well beyond that in that she is a
(06:48):
former vice president, so could take a lot of money
if that's the way they go.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Iowa Centator Senator Jonie Ernst will not seek reelection to
a third term. Apparently been wrestling with the decision four months,
began telling friends in recent days. Her retirement creates an
open Senate seat in Iowa, a crowded field of Democrats
(07:16):
already running. Let's see here, Representative Ashley Hinston. Hinston Hinson
is making plans to jump in the race. National Republicans
have long said they believe that this person would be
a strong candidate.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Trump won three elections in a row, one Iowa, in fact,
by double digits last year. So speaking of President Trump's
battle over the control over the Fed Reserve is taste
test being tested today. One of the governors of the
Central Bank, Lisa Cook, is trying to get a temporary
(07:55):
block on his attempt to fire her. She sued the President,
she sued the Federal She sued Jerome Powell. Yesterday, her
lawyers described his attempt to dismiss her as unprecedented and
illegal and based on pretextual allegations. This is expected to
ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court because while the
(08:16):
President does have some pretty extraordinary powers in terms of
who he can hire and fire within the government. The
FED Reserve is considered independent from the government, so they
apparently the president can fire with cause. They just have
to determine if an allegation of mortgage traud falls within
(08:37):
the with cause definition.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Coming up next.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Another thing about people in their brains. That's starting to
freak me out.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Man.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
What is it We all assume people's brains work like
our brains and to find out that other people's brains
do not.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Work like this. Yeah, they do not. It's a differently.
It is very weird.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
You're listening to Gary and on Demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Nineteen seventy five. I would have had long, flowing blonde hair.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Where did you get that from? Did you buy it?
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Hair?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You buy it from somewhere? You don't need to know it.
It was two years old. What are you talking about?
Great hair? When I was two years old?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Did you? Gary and Shannon I AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We will get your weekend
entertainment report. Heading into the weekend, I am super excited
for the War of the War of the Roses. Remake
just called the Roses this time around. I have delighted
every time I saw the trailer in movie theaters for
(09:39):
this one.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I can't wait quite a cast, an All star cast.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
The Thursday Murder Club is out, I believe on Is
that in the theaters or in Netflix?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm excited to watch that as well. I'm just going
to download that little bit for the Nightmare Trip to Brazil?
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Who else wants to fly to Brazil and sitting in
an airport Marriott for two days and not be allowed
to leave before you have to play The Chiefs and
Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes and then fly back for
fourteen hours?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Do do we get to call you in Brazil? Sure? Okay?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I mean I don't know how secure they are. I
don't know what's going on there. Can we pull the
curtain back just for one second?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Everybody, you may have to go into the car and
sit in the driveway to listen.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
I don't know if it's just me, but KFI is
not working on the iHeartRadio app. I know, switch to
another station work? Fine? What KFI is not working? I
want to hear about the pickles, but I'm not Come on,
all right, somebody fix it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Wa.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We are working on it.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
We do know that there's an issue with the streaming
on the app, so you may have to go. Well,
I guess if you're listening, you're listening.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Not on the app.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Never mind, I've gotten some some text message about that
it's not working. I don't want people to miss out
on pickl Eday is my concern.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
My wife told me too. She did.
Speaker 8 (10:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Well, when I say people have told me all I
meet as, my husband texted me like, that's it. Nobody else, Well,
nobody else listens to the show.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Three people.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Your wife and my husband listened to the show to
make sure we are in a center for the day,
that our daycare is open.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Where.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Okay, boy, do you want your Jeopardy question? I mean,
why not.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Back to school prep for twelve hundred dollars patent history.
This Chinese dynasty lasted from thirteen sixty eight to sixteen
forty four. This is right up your alley only no one,
sure y, Yeah, you're damn right. It's the Ming dynasty.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
How many other dynasties there might be?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
We talked a couple of weeks ago about an eye
opening story for me about people who have internal child
dialogue or internal monologue, however you want to put it,
voices in their head. That's not the right way to
not in a negative way, but that that helps them
ruminate through issues and parts of the day as they
(12:05):
talk to themselves in their heads.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
This is another story, and I.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Don't have that very often, so it was weird to
me that some people have it all the time. This
is another one of those stories. It is for some people.
For some people, when they fall asleep, they don't feel anything.
(12:33):
Now I'm not just saying like you're unconscious. Everybody goes
unconscious when they fall asleep, but they don't dream, They're
not aware of their surroundings, they don't hear things, they
don't I everybody's got weird flashes of dreams to some degree,
but there is a percentage of people. This state of
(12:53):
consciousness is one of the goals for specific kinds of Buddhism. Sure,
there are monks who try to achieve that level of
consciousness where they're just in it's described as a void.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I have nights of sleep where I don't dream, and
I wake up and it's just like wow, that was incredible,
and yes, and then I have nights where I dream
crazy stuff and it's go, go, go, and it's all
sorts of wild things, traumatic not traumatic things, but it's
(13:33):
overused dramatic things that happen that make me feel things
as I'm sleeping, you know, like you're going through something
like there's an experience or something. And I wake up
and I feel like I'm not as rusted like Jesus,
Mary and Joseph. What was that all that about? Kind
of a thing? And I wonder like, if there's a difference,
(13:53):
is it is it? Did I eat too late before bed?
What goes on with my mind? I meditate before bed
and first thing in the morning. But I wonder if
it's like the meditation was more successful. It quieted my
mind completely as opposed to the nights where I dream
insane things.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Now, yeah, laying I'm in.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
A plane and we're landing on a freeway, and we
touched down on the freeway. Then you got to take
off again, you got to go through the tall buildings. Oh,
I'm on the wing of the plane. Now I'm trapped
on a tree, you know, like stuff where there's no rest.
It's just constant crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Do you ever.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
If I were a sleep doctor, I would tell you
to write down. Take a couple of weeks and write
down the things like, starting at five o'clock, what do
you do? I had dinner at five forty five? Here's
what I ate. I had a couple of pints of
ice cream at nine or whatever. I'm not saying you
do that.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I'm just saying, if it happened, you missed the crackers
in the.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
The crackers in the bed at ten fifteen and then
and then you fell asleep. But because I think there
is something to that, there's a lot that goes into
what you do right before you go to bed, how
it's going to affect how you sleep. This is for
Western science again, this is one of those states that
you try to achieve in certain meditation, this state of
(15:15):
being aware of nothingness for us, for Western thinkers, the
fact that you're aware of nothing is a conundrum. If
it's nothing, how are you aware of it? Like, if
it's nothing, you shouldn't be aware of it. It's just
it just is again.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Exactly, that's the whole point my head. It just is.
Am I high right now?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Because it's it's a nice it's a nice place.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But they challenge what would be the theory that consciousness
was always about an object, for example, my awareness of
this computer in front of me, for example, or the
blue sky out the window for example, or my own breathing.
The existence of this state where you can be aware
of nothing challenge is what we know about consciousness.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
My favorite exercise to do is I've heard it a
few times in meditations, is imagine a stream. Like you're
just looking at a stream of water, right, You're like,
it's a trail or something.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
There's a string.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
And you see things going by on the string, right,
and like those are your thoughts. Like you see a
piece of driftwood and that's like a thought and you're like,
oh okay, and you just say you acknowledge the piece
of driftwood, and then you just let it go. You
don't have to sit there and perseverate about.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The driftwood, don't have to pick it up and play
with it.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
You don't have to think, oh that driftwood, I wonder
where it came from. Did it come from a tree?
You just see it and let it go. And that's
the thing with thoughts when you're trying to get to
that place of you just are it just is is
just acknowledging your thoughts as they come into your mind,
not that you have thoughts, but if you did, and
(17:06):
then letting them go, just letting them move on now,
because we're wired to have our thoughts connect to other thoughts, right,
So if you're in bed and you're thinking like, oh,
the giants really suck or whatever, and they're like, I
wonder if I'm gonna go up there and see a game,
but probably not because they suck and it's all that hassle,
But god, it's so beautiful in your mind. Can do
(17:27):
that whole thing and keep going exactly Nashville will Hotel exactly.
So to do that, just have that initial thought of man,
the giants suck and be like yeah, and then let
it go.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah for those of you who can still here.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
By the way, there is there's a problem with the
app right now, and we're working on it.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
A whole team of peace people. What I mean, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
You don't think there's a whole team of people. I
think there's a whole team of people. There's a whole
team of people that are working on whatever's going on
with the app?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Somebody just text it on Instagram?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Any idea? What's going on with the KFI? And iHeart hap?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I haven't heard you guys for over an hour.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Just think how relieved our spouses will be that they
don't have to hear us extra today.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I think that they were both worried that we were
going to appear at home before the center, before our
daycare is over.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Tower fell down again, That's not the case. It's just
a computer issue in the back.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's pickle day.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
It's also what you learned this week on the Gary
and Shannon Show. So if you are listening, you don't
have to be listening.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I guess you do have.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Well, if you're listening on the app. Never mind, that
doesn't work. I can't say that, can I? I guess
if you're on the app, I don't know. Just use telepath,
telepathy or something.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Where people can dig out their old radios and tune
in on sixty Wow.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Okay, yeah, geez, why don't you go back to your
buggy and find your oxen.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Roll down your own windows.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Windows. Okay, So pickles, guys, Pickles are virtually everywhere Popeyes
has a limited time pickle menu What Yep features pickle Glaize, sandwiches, wings, lemonade,
cup of noodles, debut, pickle ramen.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I did think about buying pickle flavored soda today.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Pick Pringles, Cheetos, Goldfish all selling their own versions of
pickle flavored snacks. It's having a moment now. They say
that the ubiquity.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Huh, that's what I should have done. What I should
have bought what some of those things too? Instead of
this gross?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Where are we on the jack? How much does he
had pickles? Like I'm seeing the lel Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Did you see what I just did?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Just so we know what we're dealing with.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I bought a jar of kelp pickles from Whole Food
to see that in an attempt to try to throw
a wild card into our pickle tasting today. And I
turned it over and there is sediment that is not
intended for consumption. Don't worry, Kenna, I am not opening that.
I promise you. I will not open that one. I
will not make anybody eat.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
That, thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
But I will open it right now and take one out.
Not gonna help it right now, take one out. I
will leave this on the table.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
But give it to me. I'm going to take one out.
Why it's is it the bulb of the seaweed?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
It?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Whatever it is, Why would you eat that? Who eats that?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
It should never? It should never.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Take one out. Give it to me. Give me the kelp.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Bols not meant for consumption.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Give it to me, wild harvested, just so you're going
to eat one and gluten free.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
It's a bread and butter flavor. That's a little trick.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I ever see that tricks?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I have seen that.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
All right, let's see here I need? Is this politics?
This is politics? Okay, here's politics.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
If it's politics, that is not.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
This is just a normal pickle.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
It's not a normal pickle. You ate it, oh, Shannon?
Ate it nice? It just tastes like bread and butter pickle. Probably,
I mean it's fine.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
It just tastes like a like a sweet pickle, like
a sweet, flaccid pickle with no crisp.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Okay, which nobody wants.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
All right, well, now I gotta go refrigerate. It says,
refrigerate after opening.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
So okay, nobody's eating those.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Out the studio.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I wonder stand, how are all pick How long could
we keep this jar of in the refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Oh forever.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
No, I need some uh it's and sanitizer.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Oh I gotta, She left the studio. Pickles are diabolical.
That is the quote from Keanna from earlier this week.
There's a twenty five year old named Trinity Jackson who
(22:15):
also says pickles are an abomination. And Trinity says, you
think you know a person and then you find out
they like pickles, and it's like, wow, you weren't even
who I thought you were. Three friends, It argued about
pickle politics for ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Her friend, who had taken the extra.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Scraps of pickles, proudly told the group that she'd eaten
seven pickles the week before, and at that point, Trinity
says that she reevaluated the relationship.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Here, I just realized something. It's all coming back to
me now. Sorry, am I cutting off from something important?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I mean all the things. I just remembered something from
working at the deli. No matter how many times you
wash your hands, if you have touched pickles and dealt
with pickles, you're gonna smell like pickles the whole day.
It's like getting a hug from Steve Gregory. It's like
playing with pickles, Like you're gonna smell like that all
(23:14):
day long. There's nothing you can do. There's no amount
of soap. You're gonna smell like pickles. You touch the
pickles that much, you're gonna smell like pickles. So just
something to think about. Like, I used my fingers and
I put them in that jar to pick up the pickle.
And now these fingers are gonna smell like pickle all day.
(23:34):
I washed them three times. They still smell like pickles.
You want to smell them, they smell like pickles.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
So when we're.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Doing this, guys, I think we should use forks and
not touch the pickles with our fingers.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, we we'll use utensils. I mean, that's we're not animals.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Well, it's hard not to use your fingers to get
a pickle out of the jar. Have you ever not
used your fingers to get a pickle out of the jar?
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yes, like this morning when I used uh what do
you call those?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I used.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Stop doing that with your fingers. Okay, that didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Make it better. Tongs tongs, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I us use ice cube tray tongs.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Basically, yeah, no, no, go at home.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
This morning, because what were you doing at home with pickles?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Pickles in the little jars? Because I didn't want to
bring in our full jars of pickles. I just brought
in two examples of the Hoffman pickle jars.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
You just reminded me something talking about pickles at home.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Didn't write salad tongue.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
There's another tongs are fine?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Go on.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Sorry, I don't know what like flyers, but like with flyers.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Food, I used my salad flyers.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Weren't you talking about sex when you said at one
point you put the mayonnaise in the pickles.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I was not talking about sex, but everybody thought I
was talking about sex.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
I want to put the mayonnaise on them pickles, is
what I said. And what were you referring to?
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I don't remember, but it was not sex now you
and Justin thought it was. And that's why he made
a coffee cup with that quote on it. Do you
remember the Sweet Pickles? There's line of books.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
No, there's now a narrative out there that we've been
taken off the iHeart Radio app because we have run
a foul of iHeart Radio and been suspended from it
with our pickles with Pickle Day with pickle talk. Well
that somebody heard pickle talk and took it off the
iHeartRadio app. There's now a narrative, what did you guys do?
(25:32):
What are you guys doing with the pickles that made
them cancel you? It's a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Okay, Well, I don't know what the I don't know
if it's worth that.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Well, the thing is is, I didn't know that some
people hated pickles. So it could be that the person
in charge of iHeart Engineering heard us talking about pickles
and said absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Like that guy from the movie Airplane when he just
pulls the court all the lights go up.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
What a topical reference handle? Nineteen seventy five is our
flashback Friday year?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
It's probably within a couple of years of that, right,
I didn't say Rex the Wonder Horse or Car fifty four?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Where are you all right? Coming up next?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
If your business is struggling, one way to get out
from underneath it is it just set it on fire.
One guy did this up in Fresno. Hired a gang
member to set his restaurant on fire. That may have
been where he ran a foul. You don't need to
get a gang member to set your restaurant on fire.
You need you need somebody cut, you need somebody shot,
you hire a gang member. But just a fire, I
(26:36):
mean anybody will do that.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Start a fire.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Sure, a little barbecue, gas lighter things right away, that's easy.
Speaker 8 (26:44):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Sometimes not right now, I mean it's this is also
if you found that it's not on the app and
you've gone out to your car or dug the old
AM radio out of the out of the closet.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
We thank you. Gail is not happy with grandparents.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Gale says, Okay, been traveling out of the country. Now
I'm home to listen to your show. What the hell
is going on with this lame ass news. We'll just
keep repeating what the five, same same lame stories.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
What the ever loving hell?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
I don't know, She says her ears are ready to
believe my ears as well, because I've had to listen
to the rest of the show.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, if there was.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
A day to miss it, today would be a strong candidate.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
No, no, no, no, it's pickled you that at the end
of the show is has done something to you.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
We are.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Says that pickles are diabolical, and we are going to
show her that there is a world out there that
it's safeting.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Her twelve different types of pickles. She's going to turn
the corner.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
And you can make it sound like we're forcing her
to do this. We are, but we don't advertise it.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Set up with nuggets. It's gonna be Keana force fed.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Pickles, nine new pickles into different pickles, nine new pickles.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
My hand still smells like pickles.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Mine too, And I didn't even touch the pickles. Yeah,
I just I held the jars.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Fresno restaurant owner has been charged with hiring a motorcycle
gang member to set fire to his restaurant.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
We go to the Fresno desk where we find Keana.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
The gateway to the gateway to the Sierra.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Yes, because isn't Clovis the gateway to the Sierra clos
Is technically, so Fresno is the gateway to Clovis. So
we say, way, why because that's what people It's so annoying.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
It's not correct.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
There's different areas of the Sierra, about a mountain range.
You can enter from from Clovis, but.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I also wouldn't the gateway to the gateway to the mices.
Is that what you're saying, is that.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Is already or I know I sound like Chris Little
but female.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
In this case, Bobby Salazar is sixty three years old
charged with arson of commercial property and arson in furtherance of.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
A felony love that word furtherance. He is the owner
of a chain of restaurants in Fresno called creatively Bobby
Salazar's Takaria and Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant and Cantina Ken.
Is this a you know this restaurant? Yes, I'm very
familiar with tell us. Did he have to ask you
(29:43):
to set fire?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
She's made bad decisions in there.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
No, but I've witnessed.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Salazar terminated the lease for one of the locations on
Blackstone Avenue. You know that one, right, Yes, because he
wanted to change the name of the restaurant, was told
that a lease agreement wouldn't allow it, and then use
the facility to store restaurant equipment and closed it to
the public. After the restaurant closed, he renewed the insurance
policy and increased it by, you know, one hundred thousand
(30:14):
or so from the previous year. And then April second
of last year, a suspicious fire broke out at the
restaurant m.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Arson.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Investigators found an ignitable liquid, two partially burned gas cans,
and surveillance video of two people lighting the fire. Now listen,
I'm not a crime expert, but if you're trying to
hide an arson, maybe not leave the gas cans there.
(30:47):
Just a thing, just a guess.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Also, the front and rear doors of the restaurant had
been left unlocked and open.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Agents located and interviewed a woman who was seen on
the surveillance video. She told them that Bobby Salazar had
paid her and a man to set fire to the restaurant,
but she claimed she didn't light the fire.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
She sang the song to the detectives. I assume.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Law enforcement also examined her phone records and found the
conversations in which she and the man in the video
discussed the alleged arson.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Who are we going to get to set fire to
this place?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Why are we outsourcing? Yeah, I'll do it. I know,
That's why I am. I gotta go to Brazil.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I'll put this thing down before I hop on that
plane and become a fugitive and become a future international.
Do they have extradition in Brazil?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I would assume they do. I assume they have probably
been good.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Extra I might as well just get it all out
of the way.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Dike to the United States specifically.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I mean, why not go to a place where I
don't speak?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh, they do.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
There's a bilateral treaty bil.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
In the biz, so business.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I'm gonna have to be a little more surreptitious about guys.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
This is gonna be a huge twelve o'clock hour, and
I just I feel real good about it.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Do you I do? I feel real good, real real
real good. All right?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
That jack is probably nice and cold by now?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Oh, well it is. It makes it go down smoother.
Jack with a pickleback?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Oh you got it so fine? I was thinking ahead.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Really you order a pickleback? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Can I make a jack and coke?
Speaker 2 (32:38):
You can also do that if you'd like, do whatever
you want.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
It'll help me.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
We're all grown pea pickle day.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Anything goes If no one's listening, yeah, no, quite literally,
Gary and Shannon will continue right after this.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
You can always hear us live on kf I am
six forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime onto on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
You just had a little moment, guys.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I just saw this is gonna be hard for you.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I think.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
What By the way, remember Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson.
They're a Naked Gun the new reboot and they're dating
and remember his wife. It apparently was all PR.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Not surprised, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I loved the idea that they were together, but I
didn't think it was real.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, it was all cooked up by their PR teams
in paramount. They haven't even seen each other from the
time the camera stopped rolling.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Serious. Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Wow, I kind of wanted that for both of them.
I kind of liked them together.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Same.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah that makes me kind of sad, right, But no,
I guess we can't.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, we can't have nice things.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Elm Keana. Did you also hate them? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I wasn't a fan.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Is there a couple that we all know about that
you like country?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's okay if it's a no, what about what about?
I'm going to blow the reference. I can't get it. Uh,
it was a Twilight movie, Edward. Yeah, what about Bella
and Edward? We can edit it sounds great, Jacob.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Well, she's a lesbian.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
So are you talking about like Robert Pattinson and christ
were together?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Where are they together?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
They were during the Twilight But was that real?
Speaker 5 (01:46):
It was?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
And she was caught cheating on him one.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Of the directors.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I thought she was a lesbian.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Well now she is, Okay, all right, So you didn't
hate that when it was happening.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I mean I was in elementary school.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
That was before your hatred set in. Yeah, it's when
your heart, before your heart hardened.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yep, you had still you still had stuff to believe it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Is it because you don't like being hit over the
head with somebody else's love. It doesn't it doesn't seem
genuine to you.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like I, Brian and I don't post
about our life together, right, and we don't like shove
that in people's faces.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
The American Military of love you don't need to listen
knows that you guys are in love.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Gary and I have our own.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Ideas about people who do that when they post all
the time and do protests too much, Like what's going
on whoa.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
I respectfully post you know am much, but you're not
overloading it.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
You're just like once in a yeah moon posting you
and your girlfriend. But there are some people that like
every single photo is a collage of their them.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And their significant other.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I don't see It's like I don't want to see that, right.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I don't see any posts about Diane on your Instagram's.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
On the stories you know would disappear.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
There's no hard post about Diane, not one hard post.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
She'll get a hard post when heyue.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
So, I took my four year old son to a
deli one day and I got him a little cup
of sliced pickles, and I wanted to see his face,
you know, one of those sour puss faces when he
ate his first pickle ever. And he took a bite
and he loved it. I hate pickles, but my son
(03:53):
loves them at the age of four.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, are you a Mormon?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Elmer?
Speaker 8 (03:59):
What a Mormon?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh, okay, I'm from the Bronx.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That doesn't preclude that. I was just looking at your Instagram,
and there's a hard post if you dressed up like
a Mormon going door to door. But yet no hard
post about Diane's.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Good, right, Yeah, I gotcha. Okay, it's time. It's time
for swamp Watch.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar,
and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that we got.
Speaker 8 (04:28):
The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
The other side never quit. So I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 8 (04:37):
So that you train the.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Swat, I can imagine what can be and be unburdened
by what has been.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
You know, Americans have always been gone, president, but they're
not stupid.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Have the people voted for you with not swamp watch?
They're all canoed, all right.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
The biggest deal out of DC today is that President
Trump revoked Kamala Harris a Secret Service protect According to
a copy of a letter that's been reviewed by media outlets,
former presidents. Former presidents receive Secret Service protection for the
rest of their lives, but Harris, as a former vice president,
does get six months of protection after she leaves office. Now,
(05:16):
that period ended on July twenty first, but her protection
had been extended for an additional year because of a
directive that was signed by President Biden just before he
left office. It's that directive the additional year that has
been taken away. But keep in mind, Secret Service protection
(05:37):
is not just bodyman, It's not just the team that
is around her all the time. It would be constant
analysis of threat intelligence, in person situations, emails, tax social media, etc.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So some of the aids that work with the former.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Vice president are concerned since she is going out on
a book tour coming up.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
We mentioned that.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Our bass both at least have connections to different levels
of law enforcement, and I think it's likely they'll be
able to cook up some sort of a security detail
or at least get her some sort of personal protection.
If she were to pay for it by herself, it's
going to be millions of dollars if it's going to
(06:26):
be anywhere close to the level of protection. We talked
about it a couple of a couple of months ago.
I believe we did discuss levels of high profile VIP
protection security teams, and they can run hundreds and hundreds
of thousands of dollars for like actors or high profile celebrities.
This goes well beyond that in that she is a
(06:48):
former vice president, so could take a lot of money
if that's the way they go.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Iowa Centator Senator Jonie Ernst will not seek reelection to
a third term. Apparently been wrestling with the decision four months,
began telling friends in recent days. Her retirement creates an
open Senate seat in Iowa, a crowded field of Democrats
(07:16):
already running. Let's see here, Representative Ashley Hinston. Hinston Hinson
is making plans to jump in the race. National Republicans
have long said they believe that this person would be
a strong candidate.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Trump won three elections in a row, one Iowa, in fact,
by double digits last year. So speaking of President Trump's
battle over the control over the Fed Reserve is taste
test being tested today. One of the governors of the
Central Bank, Lisa Cook, is trying to get a temporary
(07:55):
block on his attempt to fire her. She sued the President,
she sued the Federal She sued Jerome Powell. Yesterday, her
lawyers described his attempt to dismiss her as unprecedented and
illegal and based on pretextual allegations. This is expected to
ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court because while the
(08:16):
President does have some pretty extraordinary powers in terms of
who he can hire and fire within the government. The
FED Reserve is considered independent from the government, so they
apparently the president can fire with cause. They just have
to determine if an allegation of mortgage traud falls within
(08:37):
the with cause definition.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Coming up next.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Another thing about people in their brains. That's starting to
freak me out.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Man.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
What is it We all assume people's brains work like
our brains and to find out that other people's brains
do not.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Work like this. Yeah, they do not. It's a differently.
It is very weird.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
You're listening to Gary and on Demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Nineteen seventy five. I would have had long, flowing blonde hair.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Where did you get that from? Did you buy it?
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Hair?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You buy it from somewhere? You don't need to know it.
It was two years old. What are you talking about?
Great hair? When I was two years old?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Did you? Gary and Shannon I AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We will get your weekend
entertainment report. Heading into the weekend, I am super excited
for the War of the War of the Roses. Remake
just called the Roses this time around. I have delighted
every time I saw the trailer in movie theaters for
(09:39):
this one.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I can't wait quite a cast, an All star cast.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
The Thursday Murder Club is out, I believe on Is
that in the theaters or in Netflix?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm excited to watch that as well. I'm just going
to download that little bit for the Nightmare Trip to Brazil?
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Who else wants to fly to Brazil and sitting in
an airport Marriott for two days and not be allowed
to leave before you have to play The Chiefs and
Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes and then fly back for
fourteen hours?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Do do we get to call you in Brazil? Sure? Okay?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I mean I don't know how secure they are. I
don't know what's going on there. Can we pull the
curtain back just for one second?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Everybody, you may have to go into the car and
sit in the driveway to listen.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
I don't know if it's just me, but KFI is
not working on the iHeartRadio app. I know, switch to
another station work? Fine? What KFI is not working? I
want to hear about the pickles, but I'm not Come on,
all right, somebody fix it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Wa.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We are working on it.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
We do know that there's an issue with the streaming
on the app, so you may have to go. Well,
I guess if you're listening, you're listening.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Not on the app.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Never mind, I've gotten some some text message about that
it's not working. I don't want people to miss out
on pickl Eday is my concern.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
My wife told me too. She did.
Speaker 8 (10:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Well, when I say people have told me all I
meet as, my husband texted me like, that's it. Nobody else, Well,
nobody else listens to the show.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Three people.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Your wife and my husband listened to the show to
make sure we are in a center for the day,
that our daycare is open.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Where.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Okay, boy, do you want your Jeopardy question? I mean,
why not.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Back to school prep for twelve hundred dollars patent history.
This Chinese dynasty lasted from thirteen sixty eight to sixteen
forty four. This is right up your alley only no one,
sure y, Yeah, you're damn right. It's the Ming dynasty.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
How many other dynasties there might be?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
We talked a couple of weeks ago about an eye
opening story for me about people who have internal child
dialogue or internal monologue, however you want to put it,
voices in their head. That's not the right way to
not in a negative way, but that that helps them
ruminate through issues and parts of the day as they
(12:05):
talk to themselves in their heads.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
This is another story, and I.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Don't have that very often, so it was weird to
me that some people have it all the time. This
is another one of those stories. It is for some people.
For some people, when they fall asleep, they don't feel anything.
(12:33):
Now I'm not just saying like you're unconscious. Everybody goes
unconscious when they fall asleep, but they don't dream, They're
not aware of their surroundings, they don't hear things, they
don't I everybody's got weird flashes of dreams to some degree,
but there is a percentage of people. This state of
(12:53):
consciousness is one of the goals for specific kinds of Buddhism. Sure,
there are monks who try to achieve that level of
consciousness where they're just in it's described as a void.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I have nights of sleep where I don't dream, and
I wake up and it's just like wow, that was incredible,
and yes, and then I have nights where I dream
crazy stuff and it's go, go, go, and it's all
sorts of wild things, traumatic not traumatic things, but it's
(13:33):
overused dramatic things that happen that make me feel things
as I'm sleeping, you know, like you're going through something
like there's an experience or something. And I wake up
and I feel like I'm not as rusted like Jesus,
Mary and Joseph. What was that all that about? Kind
of a thing? And I wonder like, if there's a difference,
(13:53):
is it is it? Did I eat too late before bed?
What goes on with my mind? I meditate before bed
and first thing in the morning. But I wonder if
it's like the meditation was more successful. It quieted my
mind completely as opposed to the nights where I dream
insane things.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Now, yeah, laying I'm in.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
A plane and we're landing on a freeway, and we
touched down on the freeway. Then you got to take
off again, you got to go through the tall buildings. Oh,
I'm on the wing of the plane. Now I'm trapped
on a tree, you know, like stuff where there's no rest.
It's just constant crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Do you ever.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
If I were a sleep doctor, I would tell you
to write down. Take a couple of weeks and write
down the things like, starting at five o'clock, what do
you do? I had dinner at five forty five? Here's
what I ate. I had a couple of pints of
ice cream at nine or whatever. I'm not saying you
do that.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I'm just saying, if it happened, you missed the crackers
in the.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
The crackers in the bed at ten fifteen and then
and then you fell asleep. But because I think there
is something to that, there's a lot that goes into
what you do right before you go to bed, how
it's going to affect how you sleep. This is for
Western science again, this is one of those states that
you try to achieve in certain meditation, this state of
(15:15):
being aware of nothingness for us, for Western thinkers, the
fact that you're aware of nothing is a conundrum. If
it's nothing, how are you aware of it? Like, if
it's nothing, you shouldn't be aware of it. It's just
it just is again.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Exactly, that's the whole point my head. It just is.
Am I high right now?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Because it's it's a nice it's a nice place.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But they challenge what would be the theory that consciousness
was always about an object, for example, my awareness of
this computer in front of me, for example, or the
blue sky out the window for example, or my own breathing.
The existence of this state where you can be aware
of nothing challenge is what we know about consciousness.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
My favorite exercise to do is I've heard it a
few times in meditations, is imagine a stream. Like you're
just looking at a stream of water, right, You're like,
it's a trail or something.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
There's a string.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
And you see things going by on the string, right,
and like those are your thoughts. Like you see a
piece of driftwood and that's like a thought and you're like,
oh okay, and you just say you acknowledge the piece
of driftwood, and then you just let it go. You
don't have to sit there and perseverate about.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The driftwood, don't have to pick it up and play
with it.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
You don't have to think, oh that driftwood, I wonder
where it came from. Did it come from a tree?
You just see it and let it go. And that's
the thing with thoughts when you're trying to get to
that place of you just are it just is is
just acknowledging your thoughts as they come into your mind,
not that you have thoughts, but if you did, and
(17:06):
then letting them go, just letting them move on now,
because we're wired to have our thoughts connect to other thoughts, right,
So if you're in bed and you're thinking like, oh,
the giants really suck or whatever, and they're like, I
wonder if I'm gonna go up there and see a game,
but probably not because they suck and it's all that hassle,
But god, it's so beautiful in your mind. Can do
(17:27):
that whole thing and keep going exactly Nashville will Hotel exactly.
So to do that, just have that initial thought of man,
the giants suck and be like yeah, and then let
it go.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah for those of you who can still here.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
By the way, there is there's a problem with the
app right now, and we're working on it.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
A whole team of peace people. What I mean, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
You don't think there's a whole team of people. I
think there's a whole team of people. There's a whole
team of people that are working on whatever's going on
with the app?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Somebody just text it on Instagram?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Any idea? What's going on with the KFI? And iHeart hap?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I haven't heard you guys for over an hour.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Just think how relieved our spouses will be that they
don't have to hear us extra today.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I think that they were both worried that we were
going to appear at home before the center, before our
daycare is over.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Tower fell down again, That's not the case. It's just
a computer issue in the back.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's pickle day.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
It's also what you learned this week on the Gary
and Shannon Show. So if you are listening, you don't
have to be listening.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I guess you do have.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Well, if you're listening on the app. Never mind, that
doesn't work. I can't say that, can I? I guess
if you're on the app, I don't know. Just use telepath,
telepathy or something.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Where people can dig out their old radios and tune
in on sixty Wow.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Okay, yeah, geez, why don't you go back to your
buggy and find your oxen.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Roll down your own windows.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Windows. Okay, So pickles, guys, Pickles are virtually everywhere Popeyes
has a limited time pickle menu What Yep features pickle Glaize, sandwiches, wings, lemonade,
cup of noodles, debut, pickle ramen.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I did think about buying pickle flavored soda today.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Pick Pringles, Cheetos, Goldfish all selling their own versions of
pickle flavored snacks. It's having a moment now. They say
that the ubiquity.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Huh, that's what I should have done. What I should
have bought what some of those things too? Instead of
this gross?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Where are we on the jack? How much does he
had pickles? Like I'm seeing the lel Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Did you see what I just did?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Just so we know what we're dealing with.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I bought a jar of kelp pickles from Whole Food
to see that in an attempt to try to throw
a wild card into our pickle tasting today. And I
turned it over and there is sediment that is not
intended for consumption. Don't worry, Kenna, I am not opening that.
I promise you. I will not open that one. I
will not make anybody eat.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
That, thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
But I will open it right now and take one out.
Not gonna help it right now, take one out. I
will leave this on the table.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
But give it to me. I'm going to take one out.
Why it's is it the bulb of the seaweed?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
It?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Whatever it is, Why would you eat that? Who eats that?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
It should never? It should never.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Take one out. Give it to me. Give me the kelp.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Bols not meant for consumption.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Give it to me, wild harvested, just so you're going
to eat one and gluten free.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
It's a bread and butter flavor. That's a little trick.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I ever see that tricks?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I have seen that.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
All right, let's see here I need? Is this politics?
This is politics? Okay, here's politics.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
If it's politics, that is not.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
This is just a normal pickle.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
It's not a normal pickle. You ate it, oh, Shannon?
Ate it nice? It just tastes like bread and butter pickle. Probably,
I mean it's fine.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
It just tastes like a like a sweet pickle, like
a sweet, flaccid pickle with no crisp.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Okay, which nobody wants.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
All right, well, now I gotta go refrigerate. It says,
refrigerate after opening.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
So okay, nobody's eating those.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Out the studio.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I wonder stand, how are all pick How long could
we keep this jar of in the refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Oh forever.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
No, I need some uh it's and sanitizer.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Oh I gotta, She left the studio. Pickles are diabolical.
That is the quote from Keanna from earlier this week.
There's a twenty five year old named Trinity Jackson who
(22:15):
also says pickles are an abomination. And Trinity says, you
think you know a person and then you find out
they like pickles, and it's like, wow, you weren't even
who I thought you were. Three friends, It argued about
pickle politics for ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Her friend, who had taken the extra.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Scraps of pickles, proudly told the group that she'd eaten
seven pickles the week before, and at that point, Trinity
says that she reevaluated the relationship.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Here, I just realized something. It's all coming back to
me now. Sorry, am I cutting off from something important?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I mean all the things. I just remembered something from
working at the deli. No matter how many times you
wash your hands, if you have touched pickles and dealt
with pickles, you're gonna smell like pickles the whole day.
It's like getting a hug from Steve Gregory. It's like
playing with pickles, Like you're gonna smell like that all
(23:14):
day long. There's nothing you can do. There's no amount
of soap. You're gonna smell like pickles. You touch the
pickles that much, you're gonna smell like pickles. So just
something to think about. Like, I used my fingers and
I put them in that jar to pick up the pickle.
And now these fingers are gonna smell like pickle all day.
(23:34):
I washed them three times. They still smell like pickles.
You want to smell them, they smell like pickles.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
So when we're.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Doing this, guys, I think we should use forks and
not touch the pickles with our fingers.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, we we'll use utensils. I mean, that's we're not animals.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Well, it's hard not to use your fingers to get
a pickle out of the jar. Have you ever not
used your fingers to get a pickle out of the jar?
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yes, like this morning when I used uh what do
you call those?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I used.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Stop doing that with your fingers. Okay, that didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Make it better. Tongs tongs, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I us use ice cube tray tongs.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Basically, yeah, no, no, go at home.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
This morning, because what were you doing at home with pickles?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Pickles in the little jars? Because I didn't want to
bring in our full jars of pickles. I just brought
in two examples of the Hoffman pickle jars.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
You just reminded me something talking about pickles at home.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Didn't write salad tongue.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
There's another tongs are fine?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Go on.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Sorry, I don't know what like flyers, but like with flyers.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Food, I used my salad flyers.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Weren't you talking about sex when you said at one
point you put the mayonnaise in the pickles.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I was not talking about sex, but everybody thought I
was talking about sex.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
I want to put the mayonnaise on them pickles, is
what I said. And what were you referring to?
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I don't remember, but it was not sex now you
and Justin thought it was. And that's why he made
a coffee cup with that quote on it. Do you
remember the Sweet Pickles? There's line of books.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
No, there's now a narrative out there that we've been
taken off the iHeart Radio app because we have run
a foul of iHeart Radio and been suspended from it
with our pickles with Pickle Day with pickle talk. Well
that somebody heard pickle talk and took it off the
iHeartRadio app. There's now a narrative, what did you guys do?
(25:32):
What are you guys doing with the pickles that made
them cancel you? It's a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Okay, Well, I don't know what the I don't know
if it's worth that.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Well, the thing is is, I didn't know that some
people hated pickles. So it could be that the person
in charge of iHeart Engineering heard us talking about pickles
and said absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Like that guy from the movie Airplane when he just
pulls the court all the lights go up.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
What a topical reference handle? Nineteen seventy five is our
flashback Friday year?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
It's probably within a couple of years of that, right,
I didn't say Rex the Wonder Horse or Car fifty four?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Where are you all right? Coming up next?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
If your business is struggling, one way to get out
from underneath it is it just set it on fire.
One guy did this up in Fresno. Hired a gang
member to set his restaurant on fire. That may have
been where he ran a foul. You don't need to
get a gang member to set your restaurant on fire.
You need you need somebody cut, you need somebody shot,
you hire a gang member. But just a fire, I
(26:36):
mean anybody will do that.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Start a fire.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Sure, a little barbecue, gas lighter things right away, that's easy.
Speaker 8 (26:44):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Sometimes not right now, I mean it's this is also
if you found that it's not on the app and
you've gone out to your car or dug the old
AM radio out of the out of the closet.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
We thank you. Gail is not happy with grandparents.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Gale says, Okay, been traveling out of the country. Now
I'm home to listen to your show. What the hell
is going on with this lame ass news. We'll just
keep repeating what the five, same same lame stories.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
What the ever loving hell?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
I don't know, She says her ears are ready to
believe my ears as well, because I've had to listen
to the rest of the show.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, if there was.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
A day to miss it, today would be a strong candidate.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
No, no, no, no, it's pickled you that at the end
of the show is has done something to you.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
We are.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Says that pickles are diabolical, and we are going to
show her that there is a world out there that
it's safeting.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Her twelve different types of pickles. She's going to turn
the corner.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
And you can make it sound like we're forcing her
to do this. We are, but we don't advertise it.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Set up with nuggets. It's gonna be Keana force fed.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Pickles, nine new pickles into different pickles, nine new pickles.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
My hand still smells like pickles.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Mine too, And I didn't even touch the pickles. Yeah,
I just I held the jars.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Fresno restaurant owner has been charged with hiring a motorcycle
gang member to set fire to his restaurant.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
We go to the Fresno desk where we find Keana.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
The gateway to the gateway to the Sierra.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Yes, because isn't Clovis the gateway to the Sierra clos
Is technically, so Fresno is the gateway to Clovis. So
we say, way, why because that's what people It's so annoying.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
It's not correct.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
There's different areas of the Sierra, about a mountain range.
You can enter from from Clovis, but.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I also wouldn't the gateway to the gateway to the mices.
Is that what you're saying, is that.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Is already or I know I sound like Chris Little
but female.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
In this case, Bobby Salazar is sixty three years old
charged with arson of commercial property and arson in furtherance of.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
A felony love that word furtherance. He is the owner
of a chain of restaurants in Fresno called creatively Bobby
Salazar's Takaria and Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant and Cantina Ken.
Is this a you know this restaurant? Yes, I'm very
familiar with tell us. Did he have to ask you
(29:43):
to set fire?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
She's made bad decisions in there.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
No, but I've witnessed.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Salazar terminated the lease for one of the locations on
Blackstone Avenue. You know that one, right, Yes, because he
wanted to change the name of the restaurant, was told
that a lease agreement wouldn't allow it, and then use
the facility to store restaurant equipment and closed it to
the public. After the restaurant closed, he renewed the insurance
policy and increased it by, you know, one hundred thousand
(30:14):
or so from the previous year. And then April second
of last year, a suspicious fire broke out at the
restaurant m.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Arson.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Investigators found an ignitable liquid, two partially burned gas cans,
and surveillance video of two people lighting the fire. Now listen,
I'm not a crime expert, but if you're trying to
hide an arson, maybe not leave the gas cans there.
(30:47):
Just a thing, just a guess.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Also, the front and rear doors of the restaurant had
been left unlocked and open.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Agents located and interviewed a woman who was seen on
the surveillance video. She told them that Bobby Salazar had
paid her and a man to set fire to the restaurant,
but she claimed she didn't light the fire.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
She sang the song to the detectives. I assume.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Law enforcement also examined her phone records and found the
conversations in which she and the man in the video
discussed the alleged arson.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Who are we going to get to set fire to
this place?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Why are we outsourcing? Yeah, I'll do it. I know,
That's why I am. I gotta go to Brazil.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I'll put this thing down before I hop on that
plane and become a fugitive and become a future international.
Do they have extradition in Brazil?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I would assume they do. I assume they have probably
been good.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Extra I might as well just get it all out
of the way.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Dike to the United States specifically.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I mean, why not go to a place where I
don't speak?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh, they do.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
There's a bilateral treaty bil.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
In the biz, so business.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I'm gonna have to be a little more surreptitious about guys.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
This is gonna be a huge twelve o'clock hour, and
I just I feel real good about it.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Do you I do? I feel real good, real real
real good. All right?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
That jack is probably nice and cold by now?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Oh, well it is. It makes it go down smoother.
Jack with a pickleback?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Oh you got it so fine? I was thinking ahead.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Really you order a pickleback? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Can I make a jack and coke?
Speaker 2 (32:38):
You can also do that if you'd like, do whatever
you want.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
It'll help me.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
We're all grown pea pickle day.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Anything goes If no one's listening, yeah, no, quite literally,
