Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I A M six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, you guys were talking about the
weirdest things we've eaten. Yes, I was once fishing with
a couple of buddies and we were having a horrible time,
couldn't catch anything, and got to talking and I got
talked into eating two nightcrawlers. But you know, I got
one hundred bucks for it, so I'd probably do it again.
To be honest, it wasn't that big a deal anyway,
(00:30):
Take care.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Thank you. One hundred bucks just to eat two worms?
Speaker 4 (00:36):
You do it for what? Two bits?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yes, Grandpa, I would do it for two bits.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Well, since we're talking about one hundred year old rations,
I went back to what Paul would have said.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Is that a new guy? What did he say?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Oh, I can't play the rest of it.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Really is it sad? And it won't make me sad?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Oh, it just make you disappointed. You won't be It's
not You're not angry.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I'm just disappointing.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's time for swamp watch. I'm a politician, which means
I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not
kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Yeah, we got the real problem is that our leaders
are done.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
So what I'm not going anywhere?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So you train the squad. I can imagine what can
be and be unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 7 (01:29):
You know, Americans have always been going at present, but
they're not stupid.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
A political flunder is what a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Why have the people voted for you with not swamp watch?
They're all countering? Where to start?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Where to start? Trump has gone after Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
He has not stopped what Kimmel telling the viewers during
his opening monologue this week, I want to thank the
people who don't support my show and what I believe,
but support my right to share those leafs any way.
The fights continue between the administration and anything that goes
(02:09):
against the administration. Trump threatening legal action, saying I think
we're going to test ABC out on this.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Let's see how we.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Do, suggesting that a lawsuit against the network could potentially
lead to some sort of lucrative settlement. A true bunch
of losers, let Jimmy Kimmel Rott and his bad ratings.
He went on to say this, Ted Cruz has been
one of the vocal Republicans. It's not just Democrats like
you know, Schumer Shift or whatever, crying for First Amendment protections.
(02:43):
It is people like Ted Cruz and Republicans that are
saying it is a slippery slope. You know, you get
a president Gavin Newsom, I know somebody just drove into
a wall. You get a president so and so in
certain name here that wants to go after the other side,
and you've got press.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
This is what he said on his Ted Cruz said
on his podcast earlier this week.
Speaker 7 (03:04):
He threatens explicitly, we're going to cancel ABC's license. We're
gonna take him off the air so ABC cannot broadcast anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
He's talking about FCC Commissioner Brending car And.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
I gotta say he threatens it. He says, we can
do this the easy way, or we can do this.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
The hot one.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
And I got to say, that's right out of good fellows.
That that that that that's right out of a mafio.
So coming into a bar going nice bye, you have here,
it'd be a shame of something happened. And I'm going
to say, look, I understand Jimmy Kimmel has mocked me
so many times I cannot count the corporate media. They
are dishonest, they are liars. I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said.
(03:48):
I am thrilled that he was fired.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I didn't speak.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
Let me tell you, if the government gets in the
business of saying we don't say what you the medium said,
we're going to ban you from the airwaves if you
don't say what we like, that will end up bad
for conservatives. It reminds me of you and I are
both fans of Lord of the Rings, Gary are Tolkien.
It reminds me of like the Ring of Power, and
it is so attractive. It's sort of like conservatives saying, wait, wait,
if we have government, we have power, we can ban
(04:12):
the media. Let me tell you what will happen.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Uh. What a freaking lunatic? What kind of I mean?
That wasn't a mafia accent.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
That was like, I don't know what a little bit
of an age like what was going on?
Speaker 7 (04:25):
There's a and I got to say, that's right out
of good Fellows. That that that that that that's right
out of a mafio. So coming into a bar. Yeah,
nice boy, you have here.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's very Asian or Germans Street. There's something going on.
Was that Arnold's Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
But if you're gonna do an accent, you gotta know
how to do it. You know, you don't hear me
doing accent because I can't do them.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Gary can do them.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Spot on, but not if you But if you, uh,
you're gonna go all in on an accent, you got
to nail it.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
You can't do that, Maybe rehearse it.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
Shamon H.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
White House is raising the stakes of a potential government
shut down. They are requesting for federal agencies preparing to prepare,
I should say, a reduction in force plans in case
Congress doesn't pass a spending bill before October one. In
a memo from the Office of Management and Budget, the
Trump administration indicated that it is prepared to go beyond
the traditional furloughing of some government employees during a shutdown
(05:24):
and actually fire some federal employees and then.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
The other big deal.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
In and around Washington, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered
hundreds of military generals and admirals to gather next week
without a reason, at least not publicly supposed to be
gathering at a Marine Corps base at Quantico in Virginia
next week, and.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Nobody knows the reason, well, at least that they're letting
the media knows. Right, they may very well know the reason.
But it's highly unusual this directive.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Different articles that I've seen about it have said have
quoted military officials and former military officials saying they can't
recall in their memory ever having a directive like this
where all of these generals and admirals, about eight hundred
of them as a matter of fact, from around the
world to be in Quantico on Tuesdays.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well, and people are asking questions like is the White
House involved? As President Trump behind this? Does he intend
to be there? All those questions have been referred to
the Pentagon.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Up next, is there a serial killer in.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Houston or just a number of killers or just a
bunch of dead people in Houston because of I don't
know Houston.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Let us know what is the craziest thing that you
have eaten? At some point we'll put them on in
the air.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Carrie Shannon, Hi, Garyan Shannon, This is Ceylon from Lancaster.
Speaker 9 (06:52):
I've eaten a fried scorpion on a stall fantastic show.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Where it's some sort of fair. Did you hear that horn?
I loved that? Is that Salem? Is that his name?
I want to hear more about how you got that
name that? Don't hear the.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Story behind that origin? Were you conceived in Salem?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Oregon?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Was your were your parents fans of witches?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Are you a witch? Questions?
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Maybe Stephen King fans?
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You know that there's more than one Salem, right?
Speaker 10 (07:25):
Maybe it was the curse Bambino in Salem. Yeah, there
is a Salem Massachusetts. Yes, that's the witch, the whole
witch deal. Yeah anymore?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
No, but Massachusetts is where Boston is.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Uh, Gary, Boston sold the Great Bambino to the New
York Yankees and cursed the team, the New York Yankees, but.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Not the Mets. But not the Mets, and did not
curse the Yankees. It cursed the Red Sox.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Oh right, duh, Shannon, you're listening to Gary and Shannon
on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Dancing bus operators on Metro. That's what I'm seeing on
NBC News. That's kind of fun. That might get me
on a Metro bus. We do a little electric slide
on the bus. Well, let's point out they're not on
the bus. Where do they do it dancing near the bus?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Or is this just like that you're stuck on the
bus while they get to go off the bus and dance.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Or is this just a perk you get for working
for Metro They do dance classes on the side.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
We're gonna have to dig deeper.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Can't wait? Hey, Gary Channon, this is Dell. The strangest
thing I ever ate was chocolate covered ants. That was
many years ago, but I do remember it being very crunchy.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, they're so small, I mean, you can eat ants
and not even know it. We've probably all eaten a
lot of ants.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
I have heard, if I'm not mistaken, that you could
turn ants and insects like that into a flower. You know,
you you cook them, dry them and grind it down,
grind them down so that we and then make a
bread out of it, or a dough of some kind,
or a cracker, a wafer.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
One of the weirdest things I've seen people eat is
my mother in law eats peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I've heard that that. I've heard. I've heard of that.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
What was Elvis' thing? Elvis was peanut butter sandwich.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Marshmallow and peanut butter is a thing, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Yeah, that's that's that's more candy like it sounds delicious.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I've eating raccoon. I wonder how many other people have.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Well, whoa, whoa, that's a South thing. I think I've
heard Eric Dickerson talking about this. He warred he grew
up Texas. It was a possum. It was a possum
that he would eat. It would get possum and yeah, Elmer.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Elvis would eat like uh peebe and jay sandwich would
bacon in the middle. Hell yeah, he like buttered toasts.
And I think it was like it had a name.
It's like the Golden something, but it was it was.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
My are you an Elvis ficionado?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I saw it in a movie once and that's where.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I'm going to my Okay, I'm looking it up.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Daniel Radcliffe, it's great.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Uh No, not Harry Potter, Not Harry Potter, not a
rom com.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Elvis.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
The Elvis sandwich, peanut butter, banana and bacon, bacon, and
you fry it, and you fry it well, of course
is the name.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
And what age did Elvis die?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Well, I don't think it had to do with the sandwiches.
I think it had to dry. I think I had
to do with the pill I'm.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Sure the fried sandwiches didn't help it all. I think
he died at forty six.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Let's see here, Elvis and some friends were hanging out
in Graceland February of seventy six when someone started talking
about outrageous sandwich they tried at a restaurant called the.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Colorado gold Mine Company.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
This fool's gold loaf combined peanut butter, bananas, and bacon
and hollowed out loaf of French bread, which was deep fries.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Oh Man.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Elvis flew everyone from Memphis to Denver in the middle
of the night on his private jet. The sandwich did
not disappoint. The King reportedly bought the recipe from the
restaurant's owner and passed it on to W. Pauline Nicholson,
his personal cook, and asked her to have one standing
by at all times.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Elvis died at the age of forty two.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I don't think you should blame the Sandwich.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Houston's Mayor John Whitmire has said there is no evidence
of a serial killer or in Houston.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
God, he looks so much older to me.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Fat Elvis.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Yeah, oh late late Elvis.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
That's what Elvis.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
But there have been several bodies that have shown up
in Houston. Whitmeyer said there's no evidence that there was
a serial killer. If there was, you would hear it
from me. First.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You're ten years older than Elvis when he died.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
That's wild. Well, that's also math wow and an ale.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Which a boot. Whitmeyer's comments came.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Alongside the Chief of the Houston Police Department, j Noi
Diaz refuting social media speculations surrounding the deaths. Between September
fifteenth and twentieth, authorities in Houston found five dead bodies
in different bayous around Houston. Only one has been publicly identified.
(12:38):
It was a twenty year old University of Houston student,
and police have said they do not suspect foul play.
On Tuesday, the Houston Police Department alone refuted the serial
killer theory, noting that while they are awaiting medical examinations
and ideas on these dead bodies, they do not believe
any of the deaths were connected as of this today.
(13:02):
This year in Houston, there have been fourteen bodies recovered
from local bious so some on social media have been
speculating that these might in fact be the work of
a serial killer, but a criminal justice professor at Texas
State says are very rare. We also know that drowning
homicides are incredibly rare, and drowning is most likely the
(13:26):
cause of deaths for these people who have been found
in the BYUS.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Interesting, I mean, so they've ruled out body dumping for
most of them. Yeah, Okay, when we come back, a
feature on your smart phone will.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Help you preserve your battery life.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Also early Prime Day deals that are available. Mark Saltzman
will have all the latest when we return.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
The Assistant US Attorney out of Dallas is giving an
update now on the gun shots at that ice facility
there from early yesterday morning. No real new details that
are coming out specifically. In fact, she just mentioned that
a note that was found where the shooter described having
acted alone. Nancy Larson, the acting US Attorney for the
(14:23):
Northern District, said that appears to be the case that
they haven't found anybody else that would have been connected
to the shootings. One detainee was killed and two others
were injured in that shooting early yesterday morning, before the
guy eventually turned the gun on himself. Coming up next hour,
big twelve o'clock hour. We're going to do our strange
science stories as well. But it's eleven o'clock eleven thirty.
(14:47):
Sorry on a Thursday's time for tech talk.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
The machines are getting smarter. This is tech Talk, brought
to you by Skynett.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Well.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
One of the things that is it's a constant struggle,
although it doesn't need to be. I mean, we've got
a five hundred million chargers everywhere, or maybe it's just me,
but battery life on our iPhones or whatever phone you
happen to use, even though you seem to have it down,
sometimes you're struggling to maintain that battery life throughout the day.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
And Mark's got a tip on how to do just that.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
Hey, hey, good afternoon. How are you almost afternoon? I'm well, thanks,
good to chat with you again.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
How about yourself? Great?
Speaker 6 (15:29):
I've fell for the well, I don't know if this
is a trick or not, Is there any science to
back this up? Charge your phone not to one hundred percent,
That's exactly it.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
That's what we're going to chat about, at least for
the first half of tech talk today.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
So that is a common thing that most of us do.
Speaker 9 (15:44):
We plug it in before we go to sleep, for example,
and you've got one hundred percent on your phone, and
it may bother some of your listeners hinting at a
little OCD here where they look at their phone and
if it's anything less than high ninety percent, that it
bothers them and they want to charge up their phone
in their car, at their desk at work, or with
(16:04):
a portable power bank in their purser pocket. But that
is doing long term damage to your phone. Well damage
is maybe a strong word. It is reducing the lifespan
of the battery prematurely, so experts are saying too because
it's lithium ion is really what's going on here. When
(16:25):
you charge up your device to one hundred percent and
overcharge it for long periods of time without doing this
little trick which we're going to get to, it's putting
stress on lithium ion batteries and that accelerates chemical aging.
That's just how lithium ion batteries are constructed. So instead
of charging your phone up to one hundred and keeping
(16:46):
it topped up all day, which will hurt the life
of the phone because the battery, if you can then
crack the screen, the battery is usually the first to go,
which forces you to buy a new smartphone.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Here's what you do.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
So on iPhone there's a feature called optimized battery charging.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Pretty easy.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
You just go to settings and then you go to
the battery area and then look at charging and there
you can select eighty percent instead of one hundred percent,
which will give you again, if you're okay with four
fifths of your battery throughout the day, which is what
experts are saying is better. If you can wrap your
head around that, then that will in theory extend the
(17:26):
life of your smartphone considerably. So instead of having to
upgrade it before you want to, this should do the trick,
and you can tweak it a little bit in there,
but eighty is the number that some experts are suggesting.
You can go to eighty five. Try to drop it
down from one hundred percent to a lower number, and
then if you're on Android phone, it's a very similar thing.
(17:48):
The steps may vary a little bit in the name
of the section, but basically, you go to the settings area,
look for battery or power or Device care, and you're
going to see charging optimization or battery health something like that,
and also enable that feature that limits it from hitting
one hundred percent and staying at one hundred percent all
night while you're sleeping, because that's again causing heat, which
(18:11):
is not good on lithium ion batteries.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
It's all about the heat. It's basically it.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
I'm cure. I noticed it on my settings It says
that my battery health is normal, but it's at about
ninety percent of what the capacity was when I first got.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
It a couple of years ago.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Yeah, so it is natural for devices like smartphones to
not carry its full charge over a few years. But
there are things you can do, like what we just
chatted about, to better your odds of it of staying healthy.
The battery is staying healthy over time. It's pretty easy
to do it. There's no excuse.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
It's a feature that Apple added. Even for older devices.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
You can do it. And then of course there's some
other things you can do as well. Try to avoid
keeping your phone in the car or in sunlight if
you hit the beach. I don't think a lot of
people who live in La at the beach. Maybe it's
more of a tourist thing, but yeah, try to keep
your phone out of the direct sunlight, or conversely, keep
it out of a freezing car in the winter, because
(19:10):
that's going to permanently damage the battery and the internal components.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Get a good.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
Case, keep it clean. Just things that you can do
to help with the battery life and the heat.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Mark onto the October Prime Day Apple Deals. I see
Apple air tags are on the menu here, so I
can track more people who I want to stock in
my life.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Like Gary.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Them.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:36):
Yeah, well he'll be in line for the Taylor Swift movie.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
We know that right.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
So yeah, So Prime Big Deal Days is next week,
the seventh of October. But you need not wait until
then if you have had your eye on a couple
of Apple devices, because there's some sales you can take
advantage of now at Amazon dot Com. So yeah, AirPods
Pro two just because the new Airpod's Pro three just unveiled.
You can get them for fifty bucks off. There's still
(20:03):
great earbuds with active noise cancelation, So one hundred and
ninety nine instead of two forty nine.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
That's a that's a decent discount.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
Air tags that you touched on are also down about
twenty four percent, so one hundred and eight dollars instead
of one twenty nine for a four pack. And that's
not to be used to stalk humans. Even Apple says,
don't use it to track your pets either, like they
just want to, you know, they don't want to be
liable for anything, right.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
So your pets privacy concerns.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Yes, you need.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
You need mutual consent from your dot or put it
on your suitcase and your purse, on the back of
your you know, your passport when you travel.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
There's some neat things you can do there.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I'll put it on my husband and he'll like it,
all right.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Hey better, Well, he's going to hear the noise, even
if he's not on iPhone, he's going to hear this
noise that tells people that you have a tracking device
on you.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Because I put one in my car.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
Before I let my my teenage son John say yeah,
so I can see where he is, you know, Apple
iPad Air, the eleven inch model with the M three
chip that's Apple's own silicon one hundred and twenty eight
gig version, twenty five percent off, so just over four
hundred bucks when it's normally five. And then finally, Apple
(21:16):
Watch SE, which isn't the highest end Apple Watch. It's
more of a modest one, but still with lots of
great features. It's less than one hundred and ninety Right now,
you don't have to wait till the seventh. It's twenty
four percent off the Apple Watch SE at Amazon instead
of waiting for October seventh, for prime big deal days,
you can take advantage of that.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Now, do you have an idea what the S stands for?
Special Edition? Oh?
Speaker 9 (21:41):
Which is funny because it's not. It's more of an
entry level watch. But it's still a decent smart watch.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
I was just gonna say, because I think there are
phones they used to do SE, which was sort of
the also, yeah, peared down version, like two years ago
version with increased memory or something like that.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, again, it's I don't know, I think it's special edition.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Okay, I'll go with it, but just say with confidence,
I'll believe you.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, I just googled it very quickly.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Awesome Mark, great stuff. As always, you can believe things
on that you read on the internet exactly. Okay, thank
you very much, have a good afternoon. You've bet Mark Saltzman.
They are tech guy and host of the tech it
Out podcast. You can find all of his stuff when
you follow him on x m r C Underscore Saltsman
is z.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KF.
I am six forty.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
We meant to ask Amy King, I say we, but
I'm an I if when she was in Big Bear
if she saw Jackie R's shadow.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
She did not.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
She did not know.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I remember I heard her talking with Neil about that.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Oh okay.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
She wasn't even certain where the nest was.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
She wasn't, which was surprising because it's in accessible information.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Spent hours looking at Jackie in Shadow. Yeah, she's kind
of our go to. He's right up there with that woman,
that one woman, Sandy Sandy from Friends of Big Bear.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
You're damn right.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
There's a couple of stories that are going on today
that we have been following. One of them is the
White House telling agencies to get ready for large scale
firings if the government shuts down next week. October first
is when they're supposed to have a new spending plan
in place. A Paris court has sentenced former French president
(23:28):
Nicholas Sarkozy to five years in prison for criminal coal conspiracy.
The court found him guilty of attempting to finance his
campaign with funds from Libya. So Sarkoz is already seventy
years old. He'll stay in as the French call it,
prison until he appeals, or if even if he appeals.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I should say.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
This Briscilla Presley story, I the Michael Jackson aspect of
it was the one that surprised me the most. She's
out with a new book called Softly As I LEA
Leave You, Life After Elvis, and I think this is
the second of her.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Memoir It is forty years after her first memoir, to
be exact, Elvis and Me was that one.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Well, man, if you could live long enough to do
two memoirs, you're doing pretty well well.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I mean, she was fourteen when she got together with Elvis,
so there is a lot there. This latest one, Softly
As I Leave You, Life After Elvis, she dives into
the life she foraged for forged excuse me, for herself
and for her self in the decades after she met
Elvis at fourteen, married him at twenty one, and left
(24:38):
him in seventy two. They say that there are a
number of little nuggets here. Number one, it was Elvis
who first mentioned the possibility of abortion when Priscilla got pregnant.
She got pregnant on their wedding night. She says she
was stunned. Neither Elvis nor I was ready for a child.
(24:59):
You're worried about what fatherhood would due to his career,
His fans were still adjusting to him being a married man.
She was concerned too, what parenthood would mean for her
new marriage. There would be no romantic interludes to focus
on each other. We worried in silence, she said, for
was about what was about to come. And then one
day he looked at her, she said, and asked if
(25:19):
I wanted to have an abortion, and she said it
was a wake up call. Then I started crying and
told him, no, we can't do that. This is our baby.
That after Lisa Marie was born, we fell hopelessly in
love with her.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Could not imagine our lives without her.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
She talked about the relationship that she had had with
Robert Kardashian in seventy five, a few years after she
divorced Elvis. She knew that he would have been very
jealous had she had He had Elvis known that she
was in a relationship with anybody else, and in fact,
one morning, early one morning, two in the morning, as
a matter of fact, Elvis calls Lisa Marie, I'm sorry.
(25:56):
Elvis calls Priscilla to brag about one of his perform
ormances at two in the morning. She is in bed
with Robert Kardashian.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
So she leaps out of the covers tiptoes down the
hall to take the call in private. She said, despite
our divorce, he could not wrap his head around me
being with anyone else. He would have gone ballistic, she says,
maybe literally if he knew Robert was there in her bedroom.
Elvis always carried a loaded gun, sometimes more than one.
I put my hand over my mouth to stifle the
(26:25):
sound of my yawn while Elvis continued to talk. Apparently,
Rob Kardashian wanted to marry her, but she was more active,
as she says that he worked long hours and he
would come home and just want to have popcorn and
watch a movie on the weekend, and that's not what
she was into, but that on his deathbed, Kim Kardashian
(26:46):
in two thousand and three called her to connect the
two last one last time, Priscilla writing that Robert and
I had one last conversation before he died.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
He was the kindest of men. I remember him with
great affection.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
The Michael Jackson aspect, though, was the thing I found
most interesting. Lisa Marie, of course, married Michael Jackson back
in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Priscilla said she was appalled.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
She said that she believed that Michael Jackson was just
using the marriage for positive publicity because he was at
the time being dogged by these allegations of child molestation.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
She writes, I knew in my bones that Michael wasn't
marrying Lisa Marie. He was marrying the Presley dynasty. The
king of pop was allying himself with the king of
rock and roll. I didn't believe he loved her, you
know what, Priscilla, none of us did. I remember when
that happened, being a kid and being seeing it like
on the cover of a tabloid and being like that
doesn't make sense. I don't know who that lady is,
(27:45):
but that doesn't make sense for one, Michael Jackson.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Even you knew that the poculation was not computing.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
But she says Michael was a manipulative man, that he
had his sight set on her lung before she realized it.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
I don't know if that was.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Michael Jackson or Michael Jackson's handlers at the time. That
one can coct that kind of thing, right, that's the
work of publicity people.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
He never seemed to have the maturity to come up
with something like that. No, All right, Big twelve o'clock Hour.

And anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I A M six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, you guys were talking about the
weirdest things we've eaten. Yes, I was once fishing with
a couple of buddies and we were having a horrible time,
couldn't catch anything, and got to talking and I got
talked into eating two nightcrawlers. But you know, I got
one hundred bucks for it, so I'd probably do it again.
To be honest, it wasn't that big a deal anyway,
(00:30):
Take care.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Thank you. One hundred bucks just to eat two worms?
Speaker 4 (00:36):
You do it for what? Two bits?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yes, Grandpa, I would do it for two bits.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Well, since we're talking about one hundred year old rations,
I went back to what Paul would have said.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Is that a new guy? What did he say?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Nothing?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Oh, I can't play the rest of it.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Really is it sad? And it won't make me sad?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Oh, it just make you disappointed. You won't be It's
not You're not angry.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I'm just disappointing.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's time for swamp watch. I'm a politician, which means
I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not
kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Yeah, we got the real problem is that our leaders
are done.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
So what I'm not going anywhere?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So you train the squad. I can imagine what can
be and be unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 7 (01:29):
You know, Americans have always been going at present, but
they're not stupid.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
A political flunder is what a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Why have the people voted for you with not swamp watch?
They're all countering? Where to start?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Where to start? Trump has gone after Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
He has not stopped what Kimmel telling the viewers during
his opening monologue this week, I want to thank the
people who don't support my show and what I believe,
but support my right to share those leafs any way.
The fights continue between the administration and anything that goes
(02:09):
against the administration. Trump threatening legal action, saying I think
we're going to test ABC out on this.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Let's see how we.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Do, suggesting that a lawsuit against the network could potentially
lead to some sort of lucrative settlement. A true bunch
of losers, let Jimmy Kimmel Rott and his bad ratings.
He went on to say this, Ted Cruz has been
one of the vocal Republicans. It's not just Democrats like
you know, Schumer Shift or whatever, crying for First Amendment protections.
(02:43):
It is people like Ted Cruz and Republicans that are
saying it is a slippery slope. You know, you get
a president Gavin Newsom, I know somebody just drove into
a wall. You get a president so and so in
certain name here that wants to go after the other side,
and you've got press.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
This is what he said on his Ted Cruz said
on his podcast earlier this week.
Speaker 7 (03:04):
He threatens explicitly, we're going to cancel ABC's license. We're
gonna take him off the air so ABC cannot broadcast anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
He's talking about FCC Commissioner Brending car And.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
I gotta say he threatens it. He says, we can
do this the easy way, or we can do this.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
The hot one.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
And I got to say, that's right out of good fellows.
That that that that that's right out of a mafio.
So coming into a bar going nice bye, you have here,
it'd be a shame of something happened. And I'm going
to say, look, I understand Jimmy Kimmel has mocked me
so many times I cannot count the corporate media. They
are dishonest, they are liars. I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said.
(03:48):
I am thrilled that he was fired.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I didn't speak.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
Let me tell you, if the government gets in the
business of saying we don't say what you the medium said,
we're going to ban you from the airwaves if you
don't say what we like, that will end up bad
for conservatives. It reminds me of you and I are
both fans of Lord of the Rings, Gary are Tolkien.
It reminds me of like the Ring of Power, and
it is so attractive. It's sort of like conservatives saying, wait, wait,
if we have government, we have power, we can ban
(04:12):
the media. Let me tell you what will happen.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Uh. What a freaking lunatic? What kind of I mean?
That wasn't a mafia accent.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
That was like, I don't know what a little bit
of an age like what was going on?
Speaker 7 (04:25):
There's a and I got to say, that's right out
of good Fellows. That that that that that that's right
out of a mafio. So coming into a bar. Yeah,
nice boy, you have here.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's very Asian or Germans Street. There's something going on.
Was that Arnold's Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
But if you're gonna do an accent, you gotta know
how to do it. You know, you don't hear me
doing accent because I can't do them.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Gary can do them.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Spot on, but not if you But if you, uh,
you're gonna go all in on an accent, you got
to nail it.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
You can't do that, Maybe rehearse it.
Speaker 8 (04:59):
Shamon H.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
White House is raising the stakes of a potential government
shut down. They are requesting for federal agencies preparing to prepare,
I should say, a reduction in force plans in case
Congress doesn't pass a spending bill before October one. In
a memo from the Office of Management and Budget, the
Trump administration indicated that it is prepared to go beyond
the traditional furloughing of some government employees during a shutdown
(05:24):
and actually fire some federal employees and then.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
The other big deal.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
In and around Washington, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered
hundreds of military generals and admirals to gather next week
without a reason, at least not publicly supposed to be
gathering at a Marine Corps base at Quantico in Virginia
next week, and.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Nobody knows the reason, well, at least that they're letting
the media knows. Right, they may very well know the reason.
But it's highly unusual this directive.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Different articles that I've seen about it have said have
quoted military officials and former military officials saying they can't
recall in their memory ever having a directive like this
where all of these generals and admirals, about eight hundred
of them as a matter of fact, from around the
world to be in Quantico on Tuesdays.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well, and people are asking questions like is the White
House involved? As President Trump behind this? Does he intend
to be there? All those questions have been referred to
the Pentagon.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Up next, is there a serial killer in.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Houston or just a number of killers or just a
bunch of dead people in Houston because of I don't
know Houston.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Let us know what is the craziest thing that you
have eaten? At some point we'll put them on in
the air.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Carrie Shannon, Hi, Garyan Shannon, This is Ceylon from Lancaster.
Speaker 9 (06:52):
I've eaten a fried scorpion on a stall fantastic show.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Where it's some sort of fair. Did you hear that horn?
I loved that? Is that Salem? Is that his name?
I want to hear more about how you got that
name that? Don't hear the.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Story behind that origin? Were you conceived in Salem?
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Oregon?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Was your were your parents fans of witches?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Are you a witch? Questions?
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Maybe Stephen King fans?
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You know that there's more than one Salem, right?
Speaker 10 (07:25):
Maybe it was the curse Bambino in Salem. Yeah, there
is a Salem Massachusetts. Yes, that's the witch, the whole
witch deal. Yeah anymore?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
No, but Massachusetts is where Boston is.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Uh, Gary, Boston sold the Great Bambino to the New
York Yankees and cursed the team, the New York Yankees, but.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Not the Mets. But not the Mets, and did not
curse the Yankees. It cursed the Red Sox.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Oh right, duh, Shannon, you're listening to Gary and Shannon
on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Dancing bus operators on Metro. That's what I'm seeing on
NBC News. That's kind of fun. That might get me
on a Metro bus. We do a little electric slide
on the bus. Well, let's point out they're not on
the bus. Where do they do it dancing near the bus?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Or is this just like that you're stuck on the
bus while they get to go off the bus and dance.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Or is this just a perk you get for working
for Metro They do dance classes on the side.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
We're gonna have to dig deeper.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Can't wait? Hey, Gary Channon, this is Dell. The strangest
thing I ever ate was chocolate covered ants. That was
many years ago, but I do remember it being very crunchy.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, they're so small, I mean, you can eat ants
and not even know it. We've probably all eaten a
lot of ants.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
I have heard, if I'm not mistaken, that you could
turn ants and insects like that into a flower. You know,
you you cook them, dry them and grind it down,
grind them down so that we and then make a
bread out of it, or a dough of some kind,
or a cracker, a wafer.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
One of the weirdest things I've seen people eat is
my mother in law eats peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I've heard that that. I've heard. I've heard of that.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
What was Elvis' thing? Elvis was peanut butter sandwich.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Marshmallow and peanut butter is a thing, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Yeah, that's that's that's more candy like it sounds delicious.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I've eating raccoon. I wonder how many other people have.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Well, whoa, whoa, that's a South thing. I think I've
heard Eric Dickerson talking about this. He warred he grew
up Texas. It was a possum. It was a possum
that he would eat. It would get possum and yeah, Elmer.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Elvis would eat like uh peebe and jay sandwich would
bacon in the middle. Hell yeah, he like buttered toasts.
And I think it was like it had a name.
It's like the Golden something, but it was it was.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
My are you an Elvis ficionado?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I saw it in a movie once and that's where.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I'm going to my Okay, I'm looking it up.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Daniel Radcliffe, it's great.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Uh No, not Harry Potter, Not Harry Potter, not a
rom com.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Elvis.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
The Elvis sandwich, peanut butter, banana and bacon, bacon, and
you fry it, and you fry it well, of course
is the name.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
And what age did Elvis die?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Well, I don't think it had to do with the sandwiches.
I think it had to dry. I think I had
to do with the pill I'm.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
Sure the fried sandwiches didn't help it all. I think
he died at forty six.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Let's see here, Elvis and some friends were hanging out
in Graceland February of seventy six when someone started talking
about outrageous sandwich they tried at a restaurant called the.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Colorado gold Mine Company.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
This fool's gold loaf combined peanut butter, bananas, and bacon
and hollowed out loaf of French bread, which was deep fries.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Oh Man.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Elvis flew everyone from Memphis to Denver in the middle
of the night on his private jet. The sandwich did
not disappoint. The King reportedly bought the recipe from the
restaurant's owner and passed it on to W. Pauline Nicholson,
his personal cook, and asked her to have one standing
by at all times.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Elvis died at the age of forty two.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I don't think you should blame the Sandwich.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Houston's Mayor John Whitmire has said there is no evidence
of a serial killer or in Houston.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
God, he looks so much older to me.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Fat Elvis.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Yeah, oh late late Elvis.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
That's what Elvis.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
But there have been several bodies that have shown up
in Houston. Whitmeyer said there's no evidence that there was
a serial killer. If there was, you would hear it
from me. First.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You're ten years older than Elvis when he died.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
That's wild. Well, that's also math wow and an ale.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Which a boot. Whitmeyer's comments came.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Alongside the Chief of the Houston Police Department, j Noi
Diaz refuting social media speculations surrounding the deaths. Between September
fifteenth and twentieth, authorities in Houston found five dead bodies
in different bayous around Houston. Only one has been publicly identified.
(12:38):
It was a twenty year old University of Houston student,
and police have said they do not suspect foul play.
On Tuesday, the Houston Police Department alone refuted the serial
killer theory, noting that while they are awaiting medical examinations
and ideas on these dead bodies, they do not believe
any of the deaths were connected as of this today.
(13:02):
This year in Houston, there have been fourteen bodies recovered
from local bious so some on social media have been
speculating that these might in fact be the work of
a serial killer, but a criminal justice professor at Texas
State says are very rare. We also know that drowning
homicides are incredibly rare, and drowning is most likely the
(13:26):
cause of deaths for these people who have been found
in the BYUS.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Interesting, I mean, so they've ruled out body dumping for
most of them. Yeah, Okay, when we come back, a
feature on your smart phone will.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Help you preserve your battery life.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Also early Prime Day deals that are available. Mark Saltzman
will have all the latest when we return.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
The Assistant US Attorney out of Dallas is giving an
update now on the gun shots at that ice facility
there from early yesterday morning. No real new details that
are coming out specifically. In fact, she just mentioned that
a note that was found where the shooter described having
acted alone. Nancy Larson, the acting US Attorney for the
(14:23):
Northern District, said that appears to be the case that
they haven't found anybody else that would have been connected
to the shootings. One detainee was killed and two others
were injured in that shooting early yesterday morning, before the
guy eventually turned the gun on himself. Coming up next hour,
big twelve o'clock hour. We're going to do our strange
science stories as well. But it's eleven o'clock eleven thirty.
(14:47):
Sorry on a Thursday's time for tech talk.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
The machines are getting smarter. This is tech Talk, brought
to you by Skynett.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Well.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
One of the things that is it's a constant struggle,
although it doesn't need to be. I mean, we've got
a five hundred million chargers everywhere, or maybe it's just me,
but battery life on our iPhones or whatever phone you
happen to use, even though you seem to have it down,
sometimes you're struggling to maintain that battery life throughout the day.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
And Mark's got a tip on how to do just that.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
Hey, hey, good afternoon. How are you almost afternoon? I'm well, thanks,
good to chat with you again.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
How about yourself? Great?
Speaker 6 (15:29):
I've fell for the well, I don't know if this
is a trick or not, Is there any science to
back this up? Charge your phone not to one hundred percent,
That's exactly it.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
That's what we're going to chat about, at least for
the first half of tech talk today.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
So that is a common thing that most of us do.
Speaker 9 (15:44):
We plug it in before we go to sleep, for example,
and you've got one hundred percent on your phone, and
it may bother some of your listeners hinting at a
little OCD here where they look at their phone and
if it's anything less than high ninety percent, that it
bothers them and they want to charge up their phone
in their car, at their desk at work, or with
(16:04):
a portable power bank in their purser pocket. But that
is doing long term damage to your phone. Well damage
is maybe a strong word. It is reducing the lifespan
of the battery prematurely, so experts are saying too because
it's lithium ion is really what's going on here. When
(16:25):
you charge up your device to one hundred percent and
overcharge it for long periods of time without doing this
little trick which we're going to get to, it's putting
stress on lithium ion batteries and that accelerates chemical aging.
That's just how lithium ion batteries are constructed. So instead
of charging your phone up to one hundred and keeping
(16:46):
it topped up all day, which will hurt the life
of the phone because the battery, if you can then
crack the screen, the battery is usually the first to go,
which forces you to buy a new smartphone.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Here's what you do.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
So on iPhone there's a feature called optimized battery charging.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Pretty easy.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
You just go to settings and then you go to
the battery area and then look at charging and there
you can select eighty percent instead of one hundred percent,
which will give you again, if you're okay with four
fifths of your battery throughout the day, which is what
experts are saying is better. If you can wrap your
head around that, then that will in theory extend the
(17:26):
life of your smartphone considerably. So instead of having to
upgrade it before you want to, this should do the trick,
and you can tweak it a little bit in there,
but eighty is the number that some experts are suggesting.
You can go to eighty five. Try to drop it
down from one hundred percent to a lower number, and
then if you're on Android phone, it's a very similar thing.
(17:48):
The steps may vary a little bit in the name
of the section, but basically, you go to the settings area,
look for battery or power or Device care, and you're
going to see charging optimization or battery health something like that,
and also enable that feature that limits it from hitting
one hundred percent and staying at one hundred percent all
night while you're sleeping, because that's again causing heat, which
(18:11):
is not good on lithium ion batteries.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
It's all about the heat. It's basically it.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
I'm cure. I noticed it on my settings It says
that my battery health is normal, but it's at about
ninety percent of what the capacity was when I first got.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
It a couple of years ago.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Yeah, so it is natural for devices like smartphones to
not carry its full charge over a few years. But
there are things you can do, like what we just
chatted about, to better your odds of it of staying healthy.
The battery is staying healthy over time. It's pretty easy
to do it. There's no excuse.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
It's a feature that Apple added. Even for older devices.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
You can do it. And then of course there's some
other things you can do as well. Try to avoid
keeping your phone in the car or in sunlight if
you hit the beach. I don't think a lot of
people who live in La at the beach. Maybe it's
more of a tourist thing, but yeah, try to keep
your phone out of the direct sunlight, or conversely, keep
it out of a freezing car in the winter, because
(19:10):
that's going to permanently damage the battery and the internal components.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Get a good.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
Case, keep it clean. Just things that you can do
to help with the battery life and the heat.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Mark onto the October Prime Day Apple Deals. I see
Apple air tags are on the menu here, so I
can track more people who I want to stock in
my life.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Like Gary.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Them.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:36):
Yeah, well he'll be in line for the Taylor Swift movie.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
We know that right.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
So yeah, So Prime Big Deal Days is next week,
the seventh of October. But you need not wait until
then if you have had your eye on a couple
of Apple devices, because there's some sales you can take
advantage of now at Amazon dot Com. So yeah, AirPods
Pro two just because the new Airpod's Pro three just unveiled.
You can get them for fifty bucks off. There's still
(20:03):
great earbuds with active noise cancelation, So one hundred and
ninety nine instead of two forty nine.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
That's a that's a decent discount.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
Air tags that you touched on are also down about
twenty four percent, so one hundred and eight dollars instead
of one twenty nine for a four pack. And that's
not to be used to stalk humans. Even Apple says,
don't use it to track your pets either, like they
just want to, you know, they don't want to be
liable for anything, right.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
So your pets privacy concerns.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Yes, you need.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
You need mutual consent from your dot or put it
on your suitcase and your purse, on the back of
your you know, your passport when you travel.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
There's some neat things you can do there.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I'll put it on my husband and he'll like it,
all right.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Hey better, Well, he's going to hear the noise, even
if he's not on iPhone, he's going to hear this
noise that tells people that you have a tracking device
on you.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Because I put one in my car.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
Before I let my my teenage son John say yeah,
so I can see where he is, you know, Apple
iPad Air, the eleven inch model with the M three
chip that's Apple's own silicon one hundred and twenty eight
gig version, twenty five percent off, so just over four
hundred bucks when it's normally five. And then finally, Apple
(21:16):
Watch SE, which isn't the highest end Apple Watch. It's
more of a modest one, but still with lots of
great features. It's less than one hundred and ninety Right now,
you don't have to wait till the seventh. It's twenty
four percent off the Apple Watch SE at Amazon instead
of waiting for October seventh, for prime big deal days,
you can take advantage of that.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Now, do you have an idea what the S stands for?
Special Edition? Oh?
Speaker 9 (21:41):
Which is funny because it's not. It's more of an
entry level watch. But it's still a decent smart watch.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
I was just gonna say, because I think there are
phones they used to do SE, which was sort of
the also, yeah, peared down version, like two years ago
version with increased memory or something like that.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, again, it's I don't know, I think it's special edition.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Okay, I'll go with it, but just say with confidence,
I'll believe you.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, I just googled it very quickly.
Speaker 6 (22:08):

Speaker 5 (22:26):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KF.
I am six forty.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
We meant to ask Amy King, I say we, but
I'm an I if when she was in Big Bear
if she saw Jackie R's shadow.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
She did not.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
She did not know.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I remember I heard her talking with Neil about that.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Oh okay.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
She wasn't even certain where the nest was.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
She wasn't, which was surprising because it's in accessible information.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Spent hours looking at Jackie in Shadow. Yeah, she's kind
of our go to. He's right up there with that woman,
that one woman, Sandy Sandy from Friends of Big Bear.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
You're damn right.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
There's a couple of stories that are going on today
that we have been following. One of them is the
White House telling agencies to get ready for large scale
firings if the government shuts down next week. October first
is when they're supposed to have a new spending plan
in place. A Paris court has sentenced former French president
(23:28):
Nicholas Sarkozy to five years in prison for criminal coal conspiracy.
The court found him guilty of attempting to finance his
campaign with funds from Libya. So Sarkoz is already seventy
years old. He'll stay in as the French call it,
prison until he appeals, or if even if he appeals.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I should say.
Speaker 6 (23:51):
This Briscilla Presley story, I the Michael Jackson aspect of
it was the one that surprised me the most. She's
out with a new book called Softly As I LEA
Leave You, Life After Elvis, and I think this is
the second of her.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Memoir It is forty years after her first memoir, to
be exact, Elvis and Me was that one.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Well, man, if you could live long enough to do
two memoirs, you're doing pretty well well.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I mean, she was fourteen when she got together with Elvis,
so there is a lot there. This latest one, Softly
As I Leave You, Life After Elvis, she dives into
the life she foraged for forged excuse me, for herself
and for her self in the decades after she met
Elvis at fourteen, married him at twenty one, and left
(24:38):
him in seventy two. They say that there are a
number of little nuggets here. Number one, it was Elvis
who first mentioned the possibility of abortion when Priscilla got pregnant.
She got pregnant on their wedding night. She says she
was stunned. Neither Elvis nor I was ready for a child.
(24:59):
You're worried about what fatherhood would due to his career,
His fans were still adjusting to him being a married man.
She was concerned too, what parenthood would mean for her
new marriage. There would be no romantic interludes to focus
on each other. We worried in silence, she said, for
was about what was about to come. And then one
day he looked at her, she said, and asked if
(25:19):
I wanted to have an abortion, and she said it
was a wake up call. Then I started crying and
told him, no, we can't do that. This is our baby.
That after Lisa Marie was born, we fell hopelessly in
love with her.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Could not imagine our lives without her.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
She talked about the relationship that she had had with
Robert Kardashian in seventy five, a few years after she
divorced Elvis. She knew that he would have been very
jealous had she had He had Elvis known that she
was in a relationship with anybody else, and in fact,
one morning, early one morning, two in the morning, as
a matter of fact, Elvis calls Lisa Marie, I'm sorry.
(25:56):
Elvis calls Priscilla to brag about one of his perform
ormances at two in the morning. She is in bed
with Robert Kardashian.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
So she leaps out of the covers tiptoes down the
hall to take the call in private. She said, despite
our divorce, he could not wrap his head around me
being with anyone else. He would have gone ballistic, she says,
maybe literally if he knew Robert was there in her bedroom.
Elvis always carried a loaded gun, sometimes more than one.
I put my hand over my mouth to stifle the
(26:25):
sound of my yawn while Elvis continued to talk. Apparently,
Rob Kardashian wanted to marry her, but she was more active,
as she says that he worked long hours and he
would come home and just want to have popcorn and
watch a movie on the weekend, and that's not what
she was into, but that on his deathbed, Kim Kardashian
(26:46):
in two thousand and three called her to connect the
two last one last time, Priscilla writing that Robert and
I had one last conversation before he died.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
He was the kindest of men. I remember him with
great affection.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
The Michael Jackson aspect, though, was the thing I found
most interesting. Lisa Marie, of course, married Michael Jackson back
in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Priscilla said she was appalled.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
She said that she believed that Michael Jackson was just
using the marriage for positive publicity because he was at
the time being dogged by these allegations of child molestation.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
She writes, I knew in my bones that Michael wasn't
marrying Lisa Marie. He was marrying the Presley dynasty. The
king of pop was allying himself with the king of
rock and roll. I didn't believe he loved her, you
know what, Priscilla, none of us did. I remember when
that happened, being a kid and being seeing it like
on the cover of a tabloid and being like that
doesn't make sense. I don't know who that lady is,
(27:45):
but that doesn't make sense for one, Michael Jackson.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Even you knew that the poculation was not computing.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
But she says Michael was a manipulative man, that he
had his sight set on her lung before she realized it.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
I don't know if that was.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Michael Jackson or Michael Jackson's handlers at the time. That
one can coct that kind of thing, right, that's the
work of publicity people.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
He never seemed to have the maturity to come up
with something like that. No, All right, Big twelve o'clock Hour.
