Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Still, I mean, look, just look at what time it is.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I can't I believe.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
Don't look too long because it's crazy, but it is
the big twelve o'clock hour.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
When did this happen?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
So here's what we've got coming up in the summer,
more of our tributes for Veterans Day. Right, that's important
because it is Veterans Day. We're going to do our
trending stories. We have our True Crime Tuesday, which involves
one of the oldest true crime stories that we've seen
in the history of the United States, involving the assassination
of a president of the United States, and our conversation
(00:41):
with stand up comedian Leanne Morgan is coming up.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
They put me on a meal chain and somebody brought
me a mate loaf that afternoon and it was a
good one. So my hope and prayer, and I mean
this my hope and prayer of only all is it
y'all have a good friend who make you a mat loan.
When you get your Iday reply.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
That will be coming up.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Meal chains it's such a southern thing, isn't it a
church thing?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
And church thing, but very southern church thing. Yeah, if
you were to narrow it down, I would say very much.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
So, Hi, guys, it's Karen. So Today I want to
celebrate my grandpa Fred Caposella, who was a CBE in
the Solomon Islands during World War Two, and he was
actually thirty two when he served, which was considered an
old man at that time. But he's an immigrant from
(01:44):
Italy and he loved America so much that he wanted to.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Serve over cool Is that?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Is that Fred Cappy Capacilla, who was a racetrack announcer.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Anyway, follow up question, what else is going on?
Speaker 7 (02:02):
Time four?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
What's happening?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Lax and so cal airports have seen more cancelations today
as the FAA kept going with their plan to cut
flight capacity by six percent nationwide. It's going to hit
ten by Friday. Yes, the shutdown looks like it's going
to be over, but the order for the FAA remains
to reduce flights to forty of those airports, and as
(02:27):
you know, Southern California took a big chunk of that.
As of seven am this morning, fifty three flights have
been delayed at LAX, another thirty eight had been canceled.
Burbank had four flights delay, one canceled. John Wayne had
three delays and six cancelations. Long Beach Airport, my favorite,
had one delay and zero cancelations.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
As of right now, flight Aware says that there are
about twelve hundred canceled a little more than twelve hundred
through the day as we've seen again that capacity is
now six percent, eight percent by Thursday, ten sent by Friday.
And the worst aspect of this is even if we
do get an end to the government shutdown by tomorrow
evening or Thursday morning, that doesn't put air traffic back
(03:11):
to normal anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
We've got rain coming in guys.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
We could have heavy rain, I know, risk of flooding
and de brief flow and recent burned areas. It's so
alarming because it's been ninety degrees the past couple of days.
We had Henry DeCarlo from KTLA join us right at
about nine am. If you missed it, it's a good
reminder to grab the podcast. You don't want to miss
any part of this show, so subscribe to the podcast
(03:37):
and you will hear what Henry had to say.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
He also mentioned nude pictures.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I will say that what and he also well, remember
the pictures we talked about, Oh yes with Henry those
could be considered nude pics. Yes, yes, And a potential
surprise visit by Henry maybe week.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Maybe I'm not saying that. I'm not saying yes, and
I'm not saying no.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
But the storm's going to arrive tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It's no, It's going to be in northern California tomorrow
and then southern California here on Thursday, the most rained
downtown LA has seen in at least a month, and
possibly since February.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
The neighborhood nip Foundation is hosting its first ever Thanksgiving
turkey giveaway later this month, named after, of course, Nipsey
Hustle Huh, known as Nipsey Hustle Square, the intersection It's
lawson in Crenshaw, where the Marathon clothing store was located,
where he was shot and killed several years ago. According
to the foundation officials, the event has a goal to
(04:39):
give away over five thousand turkeys in partnership with the
Think Watts Foundation.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
The McRib is back, y'all.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I was waiting for the rousing cheer of excitement that
was tep it.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
At best, and you know it's good back in the day.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Right the The McDonald's has posted an announcement today that
confirms the return of the McRib to Miami, Dallas, Cleveland,
Saint Louis, Hot Lanta, Chicago, Seattle, and LA. It will
be available only for a limited time, of course. The
McRib debuted on menus in Kansas City in nineteen eighty one.
(05:20):
What does it consist of? Do you really want to know?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Boneless pork patty, barbecue, sauce, pickles, slivered onions.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
It's got a cult following the McRib does.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's not an awful tasting sandwich.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
It's just when you think about how they make it,
that kind of will why.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Would you do that? Why would you do that? Elmer?
Will you get yourself a McRib?
Speaker 7 (05:43):
I feel like the only thing from McDonald that gets
me excited is to shamrock shake, and that's pretty much.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You got a couple of months from diabetes. Yeah, all right,
we'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (05:53):

Honey, everybody in the world coming to my house, all
my extended family and my kids, friends that don't have
anywhere to go. And I'm already studying about I think
I'm gonna do a brisket. I'm gonna do with ham.
I'll Chuck Morton gets a ham from his work every
year and he's determined for I state that ham. Then
(07:46):
I'm gonna I've gotta have turkey. We all have to
have turkey. And then yeah, I got a brisket on
my mind, y'all. I'll have everybody at my house and
my grand babies and all land.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
It's nice to have Thanksgiving where you have the island
of misfit toys because it makes for good stories around
the table, I know.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
And not everybody can eat polwork, and so that mixes
it up. For us Southern people, we like plant you know.
If everybody likes to come and from different cultures and
different ethnicities. We've all of a sudden got all these
precious young people that come and sign with us, and
we love it. And I tend to overdo. I like
(08:28):
to overdo.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I do like that.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
You also have the four Southern food groups represented with
the ham, the brisket, the turkey, and then something creamy
problem mac and sheep.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Yeah, mac and cheese, A lot of creamy, A lot
of creamy, a lot of yellow y'all. There will be
a lot of casroles, and there will be mac and cheese, yes,
and all kinds of potatoes in different ways. Yes, vance
of it.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
We first fell in love, well, I first fell in
love with Leanne Morgan in twenty twenty three with her
special on Netflix, I'm every Woman, And this week a
new special, What a Treat Unspeakable Things, premiered on Netflix
November fourth, And I learned that I love you even
more because I've learned, Leamne, that you and I, without
spoiling it, have the same fallback plan when it comes
(09:14):
to a career in the form of a strip club.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
And that's all I'll say.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Well, and the one I went to, yeah, no, that's
the first.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
That's the first strip club I've ever been to.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
When I first went to Atlanta about thirteen years ago,
one of my girlfriends from there said, I've got to
take you to this place, just like you said.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
In your special. And I walked in and oh, holy.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Hell, oh my lord, it is jump I've never seen before.
And I know there was a serial killer that not
there another one. I looked into his dan eyes and
I don't think I'll ever go back. But I hear
of Painble Saint all the time. Oh Goldie Hawn goes
every time she goes into townel I'm thinking, what go?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And you want to go in, says I Lea.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
You mentioned that you spent some time here in southern California. Obviously,
you did the Netflix sitcom ly In, which we also loved.
It was fantastic. Can't wait for the second season.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
To come out.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
But but what when you spent time here in southern California?
I mean it was an extended, extended period of time.
You talked very lovingly about some of the places that
you visited. Are you coming back or are you going
to get a house out here? Are you going to
spend half your time here? Is it enough to draw
you back?
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (10:32):
You do I'm getting it. I'm gonna get to do
a second season. So I'll run a house January through
Angful and I am thrilled over. And I mean, I've
always loved California and been mesmronzed by it, but living there,
I mean, I don't mean to sound safety, but I
just the people are precious. Everybody was wonderful to me.
(10:53):
It is I think it's one of the prettiest states
in the Union. It is stunning. I had a bawl.
I cannot wait to go back. Now. Chuck Morgan will
come in and out and you know, try to grab
my brians while I'm trying to learn line.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Oh, my goodness, means he loves you. I say that
to my wife all the time. And listen, you'd rather
me do that than not, right, I.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Guess so, I guess so, my darling. But I heard
that you're an actor too. Oh that's you an anchor.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
That's quite a stretch. I do community theater A couple
of times. I've done that, but I don't know about it.
I don't know if i'd put that on my resume.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Okay, well, let me tell you that when I had
my I had four deals for sitcoms before this one
made it because I've been doing stand up for twenty
five years and one of them was with Matt Williams
that created Roseanne and Home Improvement. And do you remember
that wonderful actress that played the wife on Home Improvement?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Yes, they got her from Community Theater.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Oh my goodness, Garrett, you'll know it.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I didn't know that. But if you need I'm a available.
I mean every day after one am, that's don't don't
text me. Audition cycle pretty quickly.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Okay. Well, you all have to get up at three
o'clock in the morning and being on the radio and
then you get off.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
On one Well, we get up at about eight forty five.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
That's yes, it's not that it's not a real job, Leanne,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
A real job.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Okay, Okay, Leah.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
And Morgan, you've got to check this out. I mean,
I bet you hear this all the time. But you
have this quality about you as a person where I
just feel like I know you right away, And it's
so refreshing to see someone on TV the who's such
an open book, who's so warm, and you feel like
you're spending time with a girlfriend or a relative that
(12:47):
you actually enjoy, and it's just refreshing to actually feel
like you know someone, to know that that's who exactly
that person is.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Well, thank you, my door. And I get that a lot.
And I tell you, y'all, I think I know that
I got that from my mama, los Seal. And she's
eighty two and she goes to the Senior Citizens twice
a week and everybody wants to be her partner because
she is an unbelievable card player and she's very popular.
But she's always been sweet and kind and funny, and
(13:19):
I think and likable. And I've got a lot of flaws, y'all.
I can't do math. And if y'all saw my dance,
y'all would say, oh my lord, is she okay? I'm
very unorganized. Chuck Morgan stays mad at me over it,
but I'm not a buck and that I got that
from lous Sale and I do life. I feel like
(13:39):
I can make friends easy, and I really truly love people,
and I honestly, and I know this sounds sappy, y'all,
but when I'm on tour, I look out in that
audience and I think I'd be best friends. They more
of them, I would go to jazz or science. Honey,
we would go and eat lunch for four hours. We
would have a ball. I do I feel that way
about these sweet fans, and now I love honey. Their
(14:00):
husbands were coming, and I loved that because I loved
me since I was in kindergarten.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I would be ashamed if I didn't ask this question.
But I'm also ashamed a little bit for asking this question.
The dress you wore and I'm every woman, where did
that end up?
Speaker 5 (14:17):
I got it, my darling. I think that I think
somebody with some sense got it drinking?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Are you trying to be weird?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Gary?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
And offered to buy it? Is that what I'm hearing?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I love that dress, and I don't say that to
anything you have that grants?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Okay, Gary, do you what do you to make you
think of? After I bore it, I thought, oh my gosh,
that's the Affghan on Roseanne's count.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Loved it.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I thought it was like it is. I mean, it
was beautiful on you.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
You look beautiful, beautiful on anything.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
But I never made a connection with the black and
the and the oh my god.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Neither until after it came out and I thought, wait,
a minute. That's an amp gan that everybody's grandmother had,
and Roseanne had it hanging overh count in that liver room.
And then I thought my brands.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
No, no, I was going to actually comments on wholeheartedly.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I thought they were both going in the same direction.
And they look beautiful.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Oh thank you. That's made of unspeakable things.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
On Netflix. You can also check out I'm every Woman
on Netflix. Uh, the Leanne Morgan so yumy on YouTube,
and of course the second season of Leanne on Netflix,
which will come out. We love to see you if
you come out to LA. We'd love to spend some
time with you.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Oh y'all, I'd love to come in.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Oh man, we'll set it up. We'll definitely everybody I know.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Okay, thank you all. Impression.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Well, you have a great holiday, whichever holidays come up.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
By the time, we had.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
A pleasure enjoy all the cream. And we can't wait
to see what you do next.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Thank you, Oh thank you, Mandar And I'm will I'll
be fat as mud by the time. I can't do
all right, y'all have a wonderful funk. Given will see
y'all when I get out too.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
We'll see you soon.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Okay, well, all right, bye bye.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I don't think I ever heard fat as mud.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That's funny, that's a great that's a great saying.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Soon.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
We are expecting a ruling on the Snap benefits to
be paid out and whether or not the administration has
to pay the full SNAP benefits. A Supreme Court is
going to rule on that. We expect to hear from
them sometime in the next hour or so. It is
getting late there in DC, and boy, they got to
get home.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It was one of the oldest true crime stories in
American history. Or it is the assassination of the twentieth
President of the United States, James Garfield. Picture it Cicily
in eighteen eighty, just kidding. It's for Golden Girls fans.
(17:00):
Picture it America eighteen eighty. The US is at a crossroads.
This is where we begin True Crime Tuesday. This is
where we begin True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
The story is true.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Gathered right, No, it's made up.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Barry and Shannon present true crime.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
So it's eighteen eighty and there's a lot of questions
in this great land of ours, would formerly enslaved people
enjoy full.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Rights as citizens.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Would this entrenched patronage system, the doling out of federal
government jobs to party faithful instead of the most qualified candidates,
be reformed.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Well, an up and coming, smart sharp congressman out of Ohio,
James Garfield, speaks at the Republican National Can says we
need to fulfill our promise to everyone. Hundreds of delegates
hearing that speech stand up and say that's our guy.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
We want him to be the next president.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
He didn't want that, James. He's like, no, no, no, no, I
don't want the nomination. I'm just standing up to say
my piece, which.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I probably made them want him even more.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Exactly, he had no desire for the presidency, but the
groundswelve support was too large. And this was somebody who
had risen out of poverty the same way Abraham Lincoln
had and also fought as a commander on the Union
side of.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
The Civil War.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
So it was a speeding train ahead. He could not
stop it. In November eighteen eighty he was elected the
United States's twentieth president.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Well, the problem is, obviously, he was shot four months
after his inauguration. Eventually, died from sepsis, and what we
know about who it was that shot him and the
things that happened after Guard was shot kind of lend
itself to some weird conspiracies and also a lot of
(19:08):
strange yarns connecting different people within the government, as.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
All true crime stories have.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yes, you're right, it was the guy who shot him
with an interesting background, as well as the man who
treated him after the shooting, both wanting some sort of prominence.
Death by Lightning is a four part drama that you'll
find on Netflix. I believe it's already streaming and they
have adapted this for Netflix and it's well acted. Michael
(19:38):
Shannon stars as James Garfield. Matthew mcphadon is the man
who shot him. Charles Getu Guitau Getu we'll find out
together now the man who adapted it, or excuse me,
the author who first wrote the book about it, Destiny
(19:58):
of the REPUBLICA Tale of Madness, medic and the Murder
of Our President. Candice Millard says that I hope it's
a reminder. She says, you don't have to have a
big event to change the course of history, and that
in this case, the combination of one man's madness and
another's ignorance and petty ambitions devastated an entire nation.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
So it turns out that Charles Guiteau was a failed lawyer,
failed writer, failed evangelical preacher, failed at the Love Commune
that he joined because nobody wanted to have sex with him.
But he always had this belief that God had a
plan for him. God intended him for some grand purpose,
(20:39):
and he knew that he just did knew what the
purpose was. He becomes obsessed with Garfield after that convention,
after the nomination, and even travels to New York that
summer of eighteen eighty because he wants to make sure
that he's on the right team. He said, he wants
to make sure that he gets Garfield elected, and he
(21:00):
would harass the staff at the campaign office in New
York until he was allowed to give a speech to
endorse Garfield. Now, Garfield opposed the spoils system, that patronage
system we were talking about, where you'd hand out lucrative
jobs to your supporters, But Guto believed in it, and
(21:22):
he expected that in exchange for his very vocal endorsement,
even though nobody knew who he was this very vocal
endorsement of Garfield that he would be rewarded with some
sort of a key job. He specifically wanted to be
the ambassador to France, which seems like a cushy job
(21:43):
even in eighteen eighty. So he travels to Washington. He
goes to the White House every single day with a
bunch of other people in that same place, even gets
into the room with President Garfield, hands him a copy
of his election speech and wrote the words Paris consulship
on it, connecting with a little line those words with
(22:04):
his name.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Okay, so this guy turning up the White House repeatedly
gets his gets in band. He's a weirdo and everybody
knows that he's got these erratic outbursts. So he's blocked
from entering the White House. But he did start showing
up at the office of the Secretary of State James Blaine,
and one day he went after Blaine directly, only to
be told he would never be given a position in
(22:28):
the Garfield administration. Remember, this guy has no money, no prospects,
and no sex. And he goes back to his boarding
house where he has what he later called a divine inspiration.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
We'll tell you what he thinks God said to him
when we come back.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4 (23:02):

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Still, I mean, look, just look at what time it is.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I can't I believe.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
Don't look too long because it's crazy, but it is
the big twelve o'clock hour.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
When did this happen?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
So here's what we've got coming up in the summer,
more of our tributes for Veterans Day. Right, that's important
because it is Veterans Day. We're going to do our
trending stories. We have our True Crime Tuesday, which involves
one of the oldest true crime stories that we've seen
in the history of the United States, involving the assassination
of a president of the United States, and our conversation
(00:41):
with stand up comedian Leanne Morgan is coming up.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
They put me on a meal chain and somebody brought
me a mate loaf that afternoon and it was a
good one. So my hope and prayer, and I mean
this my hope and prayer of only all is it
y'all have a good friend who make you a mat loan.
When you get your Iday reply.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
That will be coming up.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Meal chains it's such a southern thing, isn't it a
church thing?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
And church thing, but very southern church thing. Yeah, if
you were to narrow it down, I would say very much.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
So, Hi, guys, it's Karen. So Today I want to
celebrate my grandpa Fred Caposella, who was a CBE in
the Solomon Islands during World War Two, and he was
actually thirty two when he served, which was considered an
old man at that time. But he's an immigrant from
(01:44):
Italy and he loved America so much that he wanted to.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Serve over cool Is that?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Is that Fred Cappy Capacilla, who was a racetrack announcer.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Anyway, follow up question, what else is going on?
Speaker 7 (02:02):
Time four?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
What's happening?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Lax and so cal airports have seen more cancelations today
as the FAA kept going with their plan to cut
flight capacity by six percent nationwide. It's going to hit
ten by Friday. Yes, the shutdown looks like it's going
to be over, but the order for the FAA remains
to reduce flights to forty of those airports, and as
(02:27):
you know, Southern California took a big chunk of that.
As of seven am this morning, fifty three flights have
been delayed at LAX, another thirty eight had been canceled.
Burbank had four flights delay, one canceled. John Wayne had
three delays and six cancelations. Long Beach Airport, my favorite,
had one delay and zero cancelations.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
As of right now, flight Aware says that there are
about twelve hundred canceled a little more than twelve hundred
through the day as we've seen again that capacity is
now six percent, eight percent by Thursday, ten sent by Friday.
And the worst aspect of this is even if we
do get an end to the government shutdown by tomorrow
evening or Thursday morning, that doesn't put air traffic back
(03:11):
to normal anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
We've got rain coming in guys.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
We could have heavy rain, I know, risk of flooding
and de brief flow and recent burned areas. It's so
alarming because it's been ninety degrees the past couple of days.
We had Henry DeCarlo from KTLA join us right at
about nine am. If you missed it, it's a good
reminder to grab the podcast. You don't want to miss
any part of this show, so subscribe to the podcast
(03:37):
and you will hear what Henry had to say.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
He also mentioned nude pictures.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I will say that what and he also well, remember
the pictures we talked about, Oh yes with Henry those
could be considered nude pics. Yes, yes, And a potential
surprise visit by Henry maybe week.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Maybe I'm not saying that. I'm not saying yes, and
I'm not saying no.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
But the storm's going to arrive tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It's no, It's going to be in northern California tomorrow
and then southern California here on Thursday, the most rained
downtown LA has seen in at least a month, and
possibly since February.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
The neighborhood nip Foundation is hosting its first ever Thanksgiving
turkey giveaway later this month, named after, of course, Nipsey
Hustle Huh, known as Nipsey Hustle Square, the intersection It's
lawson in Crenshaw, where the Marathon clothing store was located,
where he was shot and killed several years ago. According
to the foundation officials, the event has a goal to
(04:39):
give away over five thousand turkeys in partnership with the
Think Watts Foundation.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
At best, and you know it's good back in the day.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Right the The McDonald's has posted an announcement today that
confirms the return of the McRib to Miami, Dallas, Cleveland,
Saint Louis, Hot Lanta, Chicago, Seattle, and LA. It will
be available only for a limited time, of course. The
McRib debuted on menus in Kansas City in nineteen eighty one.
(05:20):
What does it consist of? Do you really want to know?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Boneless pork patty, barbecue, sauce, pickles, slivered onions.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
It's got a cult following the McRib does.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's not an awful tasting sandwich.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
It's just when you think about how they make it,
that kind of will why.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Would you do that? Why would you do that? Elmer?
Will you get yourself a McRib?
Speaker 7 (05:43):
I feel like the only thing from McDonald that gets
me excited is to shamrock shake, and that's pretty much.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You got a couple of months from diabetes. Yeah, all right,
we'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Coming back.
Speaker 4 (05:54):

year and he's determined for I state that ham. Then
(07:46):
I'm gonna I've gotta have turkey. We all have to
have turkey. And then yeah, I got a brisket on
my mind, y'all. I'll have everybody at my house and
my grand babies and all land.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
It's nice to have Thanksgiving where you have the island
of misfit toys because it makes for good stories around
the table, I know.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
And not everybody can eat polwork, and so that mixes
it up. For us Southern people, we like plant you know.
If everybody likes to come and from different cultures and
different ethnicities. We've all of a sudden got all these
precious young people that come and sign with us, and
we love it. And I tend to overdo. I like
(08:28):
to overdo.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I do like that.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
You also have the four Southern food groups represented with
the ham, the brisket, the turkey, and then something creamy

a lot of casroles, and there will be mac and cheese, yes,
and all kinds of potatoes in different ways. Yes, vance
of it.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
We first fell in love, well, I first fell in
love with Leanne Morgan in twenty twenty three with her
special on Netflix, I'm every Woman, And this week a
new special, What a Treat Unspeakable Things, premiered on Netflix
November fourth, And I learned that I love you even
more because I've learned, Leamne, that you and I, without
spoiling it, have the same fallback plan when it comes
(09:14):
to a career in the form of a strip club.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
And that's all I'll say.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Well, and the one I went to, yeah, no, that's
the first.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
That's the first strip club I've ever been to.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
When I first went to Atlanta about thirteen years ago,
one of my girlfriends from there said, I've got to
take you to this place, just like you said.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
In your special. And I walked in and oh, holy.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Hell, oh my lord, it is jump I've never seen before.
And I know there was a serial killer that not
there another one. I looked into his dan eyes and
I don't think I'll ever go back. But I hear
of Painble Saint all the time. Oh Goldie Hawn goes
every time she goes into townel I'm thinking, what go?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And you want to go in, says I Lea.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
You mentioned that you spent some time here in southern California. Obviously,
you did the Netflix sitcom ly In, which we also loved.
It was fantastic. Can't wait for the second season.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
To come out.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
But but what when you spent time here in southern California?
I mean it was an extended, extended period of time.
You talked very lovingly about some of the places that
you visited. Are you coming back or are you going
to get a house out here? Are you going to
spend half your time here? Is it enough to draw
you back?
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (10:32):
You do I'm getting it. I'm gonna get to do
a second season. So I'll run a house January through
Angful and I am thrilled over. And I mean, I've
always loved California and been mesmronzed by it, but living there,
I mean, I don't mean to sound safety, but I
just the people are precious. Everybody was wonderful to me.
(10:53):
It is I think it's one of the prettiest states
in the Union. It is stunning. I had a bawl.
I cannot wait to go back. Now. Chuck Morgan will
come in and out and you know, try to grab
my brians while I'm trying to learn line.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Oh, my goodness, means he loves you. I say that
to my wife all the time. And listen, you'd rather
me do that than not, right, I.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Guess so, I guess so, my darling. But I heard
that you're an actor too. Oh that's you an anchor.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
That's quite a stretch. I do community theater A couple
of times. I've done that, but I don't know about it.
I don't know if i'd put that on my resume.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Okay, well, let me tell you that when I had
my I had four deals for sitcoms before this one
made it because I've been doing stand up for twenty
five years and one of them was with Matt Williams
that created Roseanne and Home Improvement. And do you remember
that wonderful actress that played the wife on Home Improvement?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Yes, they got her from Community Theater.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Oh my goodness, Garrett, you'll know it.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I didn't know that. But if you need I'm a available.
I mean every day after one am, that's don't don't
text me. Audition cycle pretty quickly.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Okay. Well, you all have to get up at three
o'clock in the morning and being on the radio and
then you get off.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
On one Well, we get up at about eight forty five.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
That's yes, it's not that it's not a real job, Leanne,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
A real job.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Okay, Okay, Leah.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
And Morgan, you've got to check this out. I mean,
I bet you hear this all the time. But you
have this quality about you as a person where I
just feel like I know you right away, And it's
so refreshing to see someone on TV the who's such
an open book, who's so warm, and you feel like
you're spending time with a girlfriend or a relative that
(12:47):
you actually enjoy, and it's just refreshing to actually feel
like you know someone, to know that that's who exactly
that person is.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Well, thank you, my door. And I get that a lot.
And I tell you, y'all, I think I know that
I got that from my mama, los Seal. And she's
eighty two and she goes to the Senior Citizens twice
a week and everybody wants to be her partner because
she is an unbelievable card player and she's very popular.
But she's always been sweet and kind and funny, and
(13:19):
I think and likable. And I've got a lot of flaws, y'all.
I can't do math. And if y'all saw my dance,
y'all would say, oh my lord, is she okay? I'm
very unorganized. Chuck Morgan stays mad at me over it,
but I'm not a buck and that I got that
from lous Sale and I do life. I feel like
(13:39):
I can make friends easy, and I really truly love people,
and I honestly, and I know this sounds sappy, y'all,
but when I'm on tour, I look out in that
audience and I think I'd be best friends. They more
of them, I would go to jazz or science. Honey,
we would go and eat lunch for four hours. We
would have a ball. I do I feel that way
about these sweet fans, and now I love honey. Their
(14:00):
husbands were coming, and I loved that because I loved
me since I was in kindergarten.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I would be ashamed if I didn't ask this question.
But I'm also ashamed a little bit for asking this question.
The dress you wore and I'm every woman, where did
that end up?
Speaker 5 (14:17):
I got it, my darling. I think that I think
somebody with some sense got it drinking?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Are you trying to be weird?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Gary?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
And offered to buy it? Is that what I'm hearing?
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I love that dress, and I don't say that to
anything you have that grants?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Okay, Gary, do you what do you to make you
think of? After I bore it, I thought, oh my gosh,
that's the Affghan on Roseanne's count.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Loved it.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I thought it was like it is. I mean, it
was beautiful on you.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
You look beautiful, beautiful on anything.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
But I never made a connection with the black and
the and the oh my god.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Neither until after it came out and I thought, wait,
a minute. That's an amp gan that everybody's grandmother had,
and Roseanne had it hanging overh count in that liver room.
And then I thought my brands.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
No, no, I was going to actually comments on wholeheartedly.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I thought they were both going in the same direction.
And they look beautiful.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Oh thank you. That's made of unspeakable things.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
On Netflix. You can also check out I'm every Woman
on Netflix. Uh, the Leanne Morgan so yumy on YouTube,
and of course the second season of Leanne on Netflix,
which will come out. We love to see you if
you come out to LA. We'd love to spend some
time with you.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Oh y'all, I'd love to come in.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Oh man, we'll set it up. We'll definitely everybody I know.
Speaker 5 (15:40):

We'll see you soon.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Okay, well, all right, bye bye.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I don't think I ever heard fat as mud.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That's funny, that's a great that's a great saying.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Soon.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
We are expecting a ruling on the Snap benefits to
be paid out and whether or not the administration has
to pay the full SNAP benefits. A Supreme Court is
going to rule on that. We expect to hear from
them sometime in the next hour or so. It is
getting late there in DC, and boy, they got to
get home.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It was one of the oldest true crime stories in
American history. Or it is the assassination of the twentieth
President of the United States, James Garfield. Picture it Cicily
in eighteen eighty, just kidding. It's for Golden Girls fans.
(17:00):
Picture it America eighteen eighty. The US is at a crossroads.
This is where we begin True Crime Tuesday. This is
where we begin True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
The story is true.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Gathered right, No, it's made up.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Barry and Shannon present true crime.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
So it's eighteen eighty and there's a lot of questions
in this great land of ours, would formerly enslaved people
enjoy full.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Rights as citizens.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Would this entrenched patronage system, the doling out of federal
government jobs to party faithful instead of the most qualified candidates,
be reformed.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Well, an up and coming, smart sharp congressman out of Ohio,
James Garfield, speaks at the Republican National Can says we
need to fulfill our promise to everyone. Hundreds of delegates
hearing that speech stand up and say that's our guy.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
We want him to be the next president.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
He didn't want that, James. He's like, no, no, no, no, I
don't want the nomination. I'm just standing up to say
my piece, which.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I probably made them want him even more.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Exactly, he had no desire for the presidency, but the
groundswelve support was too large. And this was somebody who
had risen out of poverty the same way Abraham Lincoln
had and also fought as a commander on the Union
side of.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
The Civil War.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
So it was a speeding train ahead. He could not
stop it. In November eighteen eighty he was elected the
United States's twentieth president.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Well, the problem is, obviously, he was shot four months
after his inauguration. Eventually, died from sepsis, and what we
know about who it was that shot him and the
things that happened after Guard was shot kind of lend
itself to some weird conspiracies and also a lot of
(19:08):
strange yarns connecting different people within the government, as.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
All true crime stories have.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yes, you're right, it was the guy who shot him
with an interesting background, as well as the man who
treated him after the shooting, both wanting some sort of prominence.
Death by Lightning is a four part drama that you'll
find on Netflix. I believe it's already streaming and they
have adapted this for Netflix and it's well acted. Michael
(19:38):
Shannon stars as James Garfield. Matthew mcphadon is the man
who shot him. Charles Getu Guitau Getu we'll find out
together now the man who adapted it, or excuse me,
the author who first wrote the book about it, Destiny
(19:58):
of the REPUBLICA Tale of Madness, medic and the Murder
of Our President. Candice Millard says that I hope it's
a reminder. She says, you don't have to have a
big event to change the course of history, and that
in this case, the combination of one man's madness and
another's ignorance and petty ambitions devastated an entire nation.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
So it turns out that Charles Guiteau was a failed lawyer,
failed writer, failed evangelical preacher, failed at the Love Commune
that he joined because nobody wanted to have sex with him.
But he always had this belief that God had a
plan for him. God intended him for some grand purpose,
(20:39):
and he knew that he just did knew what the
purpose was. He becomes obsessed with Garfield after that convention,
after the nomination, and even travels to New York that
summer of eighteen eighty because he wants to make sure
that he's on the right team. He said, he wants
to make sure that he gets Garfield elected, and he
(21:00):
would harass the staff at the campaign office in New
York until he was allowed to give a speech to
endorse Garfield. Now, Garfield opposed the spoils system, that patronage
system we were talking about, where you'd hand out lucrative
jobs to your supporters, But Guto believed in it, and
(21:22):
he expected that in exchange for his very vocal endorsement,
even though nobody knew who he was this very vocal
endorsement of Garfield that he would be rewarded with some
sort of a key job. He specifically wanted to be
the ambassador to France, which seems like a cushy job
(21:43):
even in eighteen eighty. So he travels to Washington. He
goes to the White House every single day with a
bunch of other people in that same place, even gets
into the room with President Garfield, hands him a copy
of his election speech and wrote the words Paris consulship
on it, connecting with a little line those words with
(22:04):
his name.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Okay, so this guy turning up the White House repeatedly
gets his gets in band. He's a weirdo and everybody
knows that he's got these erratic outbursts. So he's blocked
from entering the White House. But he did start showing
up at the office of the Secretary of State James Blaine,
and one day he went after Blaine directly, only to
be told he would never be given a position in
(22:28):
the Garfield administration. Remember, this guy has no money, no prospects,
and no sex. And he goes back to his boarding
house where he has what he later called a divine inspiration.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
We'll tell you what he thinks God said to him
when we come back.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
