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. Stars in the Distance a black
Knight in a land known as Galactoria. Right, you're following.
(00:24):
What are you doing on your phone? You're not listening?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Oh, I was just looking at stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
In a land known as Galactoria. A battle is brewing.
And then what you do is like the shot is
like almost like you're in a tunnel and it's all dark,
but the lights are going by you like this, So
it's it's like you're going at the speed of sound
(00:53):
or light or whatever it is. The lights are racing
by you. It's kind of like space mountain yep. And
so like you feel as the viewer that you're going
to Galactia, to the battle that's about to be brewing.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
What do you think, Uh, pretty generic? That's generic high
speed space where lights zoom past you. Right, that's pretty generic. Well,
it takes a long way to get to wherever you're going,
and so so I know that that's why you're traveling.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Going.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It's not like going to peek out.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
A different way to show that somehow do you think.
So it's done, been done in every science fiction movie ever. Oh,
I mean that's why you see it. I mean, I
it makes sense to me. But we're trying to do
something new and different. Oh okay, all right, but I
like the I like the starting point.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Do you like? Do you think Galactia is going to stick?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
You do?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Do you think people will see Galactia and think the
nipple thing?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Okay, I hope.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
So it's time for swamp watch.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I hope.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheap and a liar,
and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. Yeah,
we got the real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
So what I'm not going anywhere so.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
That the squat I can imagine what can be and
be unburdened by.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
What has been.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
You know, nervans have always been going at, but they're
not stupid.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Truth whether people voted for you. With not sap watch,
they're all countered.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So we talked about the anger at these eight Democratic
senators who voted with Republicans to end the shutdown, and
that anger shows from people in the know on Capitol
Hill that there is a dramatic shift going on, a
dramatic shift in the Democratic Party, and there is a
need amongst this group they believe to adopt more ruthless
(02:56):
tactics to counter Trump that the old Democrats of doing
things is not going to work.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I think there is an aspect of this that has
been completely adopted by Gavin Newsom, in that Gavin Newsom
is a guy who I don't think has a real great,
strong record in the state of California to run on
when he runs for president. You can't look at a
(03:27):
place like this that has high taxes, high gas taxes,
awful roads, crumbling infrastructure, a massive homelessness problem and then
say something along the lines of I can't wait to
bring my policies to the rest of the United States
of America. He just can't run on that record. But
what he can run on is I'm a fighter. I'm
(03:49):
going to take it to Donald Trump and whatever Republican
is the nominee. I'm going to have the quirky, funny
social media accounts that fight back at bullies. I'm going
to come up with the fun plans to unite people
in different ways, but I'm not going to run on
my record. And this ruthlessly pragmatic term may be something
(04:15):
that he's trying to do along with other Democrats.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
The being the bigger person in the room may not
be the playbook that they use going forward. In other words, right,
rather than try to uphold norms as Trump shatters them,
these Democrats have decided to fight Trump with tactics that
they previously disdained, excoriating those who have stood in their way,
(04:40):
whether it's on redistricting or standing by candidates with problematic pasts.
They've shifted course on redrawing congressional maps maps. As we've
seen in California, this was a group that liked the
independent commissions.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Not anymore you want.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You you want to f around Texas, well, we will
f around here in California.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Has been the shift.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It's no longer will be the bigger person in the
room and fight for the you know, blah blah blah
blah blah lah. It's okay, we'll fight dirty too. And
the Democrats who don't want to fight dirty, who want
to capitulate in Washington, they're taking a lot of heat
for it.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
That's what I was saying to you last week when
you said there was well there's this group of moderate Democrats,
and I said, well, moderate Democrats don't have any leverage anymore.
Well they did. They they capitulated, they got this done.
But there they might be done in the Democratic Party.
The new Democratic Party, Yeah, I don't know where this
(05:45):
It's a new thing for them.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
It's a new muscle that they're trying to exercise, and
I just don't feel like they've had enough experience with it.
I mean, they can be sort of out of the
box politically and try to grab those headlines with language,
with behavior and things like that, but policy is the
(06:08):
thing that they're going to end up having to be
able to communicate.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Look no further than Jay Jones to see the change
in the Democratic Party and the morality of the Democratic Party.
J Jones was the guy trying to become Virginia's next
attorney general. This was the guy whose violent text messages
from years ago were leaked just before election day. We
covered it here. They were awful, They threatened violence. I
(06:35):
think they threatened, you know, somebody should lose their life.
At one point they were pretty bad. The Democrats of
old would have thrown this guy out with the bathwater.
They would have said, no, not on our watch. How
we don't want someone in our party that would send
something like that. Well, they now have seen that Trump's
people would send that message and have no problem with it.
(06:56):
So all right, the bar has been lowered, the threshold
has been lowered. So what happened, Well, in the situation
with Jay Jones, Swing Left, a liberal group that was
born out of Trump's twenty sixteen election, a very angry
liberal group, decided to invest considerable money and time into
j Jones leak tech into his campaign after the leak text,
(07:19):
and you know what, it wasn't even a difficult decision.
This was a guy who nonchalantly talked about shooting the
former Republican Speaker of the House in the head. And
they said, you know what, the comments are awful, but
it was not a difficult decision to pour our money.
The guy that's the executive director of Swing Left said,
(07:40):
we just can't play by the old playbook of receding
to the background even when candidates have the warts. That
candidates have winning power, he says, is about math and
we have to win majorities. We have to be more
ruthlessly pragmatic, like you said, than we have ever been.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
And that's uncomfortable all.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And it doesn't It doesn't appeal, I think, to a
lot of people to see going back to the lowest
common denominator. Yeah, it grabs headlines, and it may in
the short term grab you votes. But if all you're
doing is performative and you're not you're not backing it
up with any real policy. I kind of feel like
(08:22):
that's just not the right way to do it. Nobody asks,
nobody cares about policy anymore. It's about policy anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Pasta, by the way, Italian pasta is going to disappear
from your store shell?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Can we do that when we come back? Because I'm
worried about that.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I shouldn't be worried about pasta. You're Oh wow, I
saw what you looked at when you did that. Okay,
all right, listen, I'm sitting funny, Is that what you're
I'm just it's sitting. It just looks funny, know what
you meant?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Hope you're proud of yourself.
Speaker 3 (08:58):

Speaker 6 (09:46):
Alloha, Gary and Shannon. On Veterans Day, I would like
to say thank you to my deceased mom and dad,
both were US Marines World War Two. To my uncles
that served in Europe the theater in World War Two.
My dad also served in Korea. He was a night
fighter pilot in the Marine Corps, as well as Jeff Nordetez,
(10:06):
who continues to assist and help veterans to this day
he served in Vietnam, and to Steve Garnet who was
a Navy medic to our marines in Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Quite a history that a lot of people have. It's
pretty amazing.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
I want to give a shout out to my son
Bryce william a retired Army Ranger VET who served in Kabble, Afghanistan.
He has now just finished his degree as a nurse
and is going to be working with the VA Hospital
to help other vets.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Wow. Continuing to get back.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Gary and Shannon. I want to remember my mom and
dad who both served in the US Army during World
War Two, Several aunts and uncles who served in the
US Army and the Navy during World War Two and Korea.
My older brother who served during the US Army during
the Vietnam era, nephew who served in the Air Force
(11:02):
in the modern era, and another nephew who served in
the Army during the Water.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Again, just amazing amount of people whose entire families have
some connection to the military.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, military blood runs deep, right, It's pretty I don't
want to say common, but when you hear about a
couple people in one family in the military. It's usually
a lot bigger than that for many reasons. But yeah,
so some Italian pasta exporters are facing combined import and
(11:38):
then anti dumping duties.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Say that part again.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
No, don't be weird. I've already said nipples like seventy
five times today.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
But you won't say anti dumping.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I have to have a line I have to I
have to have a line line business. Let's just say
it this way. Business is too costly, and Italian pasta
is going to be withdrawing from the market. In the
United States, US Commerce Department announced a ninety two percent
duty on thirteen Italian pasta companies. That's in addition to
(12:16):
the fifteen percent tariff on EU imports. So it's just
not worth it. It's too costly, and so you're not
going to see the Italian pasta on the shelves.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The Commerce Department did this after this investigation into pricing
practices for pasta that goes in everything from spaghetti bolonnes
to mac and cheese, and the severity of the decision, supposedly,
in their words, stunned one of Italy's most iconic industries,
obviously pasta, and has escalated into this fight between Washington,
(12:48):
d C. And Rome. Rome says they'll be fighting this tariff.
Lamo Selina, No Molis, Sana and other companies were asking
Commerce Department to revise its assessment and the final ruling,
and said one pasta maker, it would be a real
(13:08):
shame to have the market snatched from us for no
real reason.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Listen, I do you ever buy the Italian part? You
don't grocery shop.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
When I grocery shop and I see the pasta, I'm
in the pasta aisle. I bought pasta last night in Mide, Lasagna,
and I buy the generic pasta now because the stuff
is like five ninety nine for the generic, like pasta
used to be ninety nine cents maybe, and now with
the inflated costs of everything in the grocery store, the
(13:40):
Italian pasta is probably like ten dollars or something crazy.
Like I used to once in a while, get like
the Italian pasta whatever, just like you know, something nice,
mix it up. I'll get something nice. I won't just
get the burrillo or whatever burilla. But that stuff was
already expensive before everything started getting in and my husband
(14:01):
doesn't know the difference. I could feed him freaking you know,
chickpea pasta box. It all tastes like crap if I'm
making it, but it's just not worth it. It's like,
why who's buying that? I guess is my question. Who's
buying the Italian pasta in the grocery stores now?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
American pasta makers have regularly filed anti dumping complaints against
the Italian pasta makers, and the Commerce Department often found
that one or more of those companies was guilty of
underpricing their pasta, but the penalties were usually pretty small.
The Italian pasta makers would just see it as part
of the cost of doing business in what they consider
(14:44):
one of, if not the largest market for their product,
which is the United States. All pasta makers big and
small know that to export pasta to the US, you're
going to have to pay a tariff. But they're saying
that this the anti dumping duty, and the fifteen percent
tariff on imports from the EU, it gets up to
one hundred and seven percent.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You see these apple apple is unveiled iPhone pockets to
put like over your shoulder.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Oh it's like a strappy thing. Yeah, yeah, I saw
the headline that would really.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Be interesting to see, Like if I saw a dude
with an iPhone interesting across the body purse an iPhone.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Purse, interesting choice of words interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I know I've become my mom where I say interesting
to just.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
To say to hide the mean things that you want
to say, maybe yeah or just. I can't come up
with the right word. But it's not hot.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
It's not a sexy thing to do to wear across
the body purse like contraption for your iPhone.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Put it in your pocket, dude.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Storm is going to be rolling in moderate to strong storm.
We talked with KTLA Henry de Carlo at the top
of the show. The southern California rain will probably be
coming in late tomorrow. San Luis, Obispos, Santa Barbara Counties
will be the first to get the rain, and then
Ventura and La Counties on Thursday. Expected to peak late
(16:20):
Thursday into late Thursday morning, I should say into Thursday
night most of the rain is expected to come down.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Then you have a story to tell us.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Well, first of all, this is the one that peaked
our interests this morning.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Troops and families who live there have been told to
take down their Christmas decorations. There was an email sent
out by the landlord for all privatized housing on the
base and the message read this well driving the neighborhoods
yesterday it was noticed that Christmas decorations have already begun
to appear within the community. All holiday decorations should be
(17:02):
reflective in their respective months and not any sooner than
thirty days before the given holiday. If you currently have
you'll tied decorp present on the outside of your home,
please remove it and reinstall it in accordance with your
community guidelines listed below.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Debbie Downer, Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
If there's something to complain about this, ain't it now?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Again, this isn't the Air Force that's doing it, It's
the owners of the privatized housing that is on the
air force base. In fact, an Air Force Captain, Public
affairs chief there attend All Air Force Base, said that
the community association was just enforcing community standards outlined and
(17:46):
the legally binding lease agreement all residents voluntarily sign. They
added that Christmas decorations can be put up starting the
week after Thanksgiving through the first week of the new year,
and said since since standards are set by a particular
privatized housing community, the rules can vary from base to base.
(18:07):
There are probably eight homes in on my street that
already have Christmas lights up. Okay, the light, just the lights,
just the lights. There's one house specifically that for the
last I would say, ten days. Like as soon as
they took their Halloween decorations down, they immediately replaced them
with an extravagant, bright, flashing, loud, visually loud Christmas display.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
And I couldn't care less good.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
It's if they need that kind of joy this early
in the season, so be it.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Plus, it's one of those things that unless it's the
lights are blinding me and I'm next door or something
or across the street, it's not like that. It's not
like that.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, we live in America. We have the freedom in
this country. I'm sorry to put a reindeer out on
our front porch to April in April if we want to.
This is Veterans Day. This is a day built on
(19:13):
the backs of Americans to fight for freedom to do
what we want to do, even if it's stupid. S
people went to war for our ability to be free
to live, free to do what we want to do,
not to be forced by some government or some h
o way to take Rudolph off my lawn in April.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Like we this is our thing. We own the rights
to do this.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
And if you're gonna come to me in November, mid
November and tell me to take my Christmas decorations down, efen, you, sir,
want to go move to China, Okay, where you can
tell me to take down Rudolph or not to have
more babies or whatever else and no free speech and
no app and no TikTok go there, but not here,
(20:04):
not on our watch, sir.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I'm putting Rudolph out there. And if it's April, well
so be it.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Because this isn't China, is it, Gary, No, It's America?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
And how dare you?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
How dare you tell.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
People on an air force base that they can't put
decorations up for their little children who have to go
without mom or dad for several times a year, several
years at a time. Maybe maybe this is the first Christmas.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Where everyone's together in a long time.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
And if they want to start in November, let them
celebrate you a holes.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That made you hungry? Apparently that was weird. She finished,
She finished the rant, and they went straight for a
pita chip loaded with almush.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
That was.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Uh yeah. I also have similar rules in my HOA.
They're very specific about when you can put up decorations
like this.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's so silly.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
But I don't know what the penalty. I don't remember
if they're outlined in the whole thing about you can't.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Well, who writes that email with like a conscience? Oh,
that's the part that you know sends it. You're the
letter writer for your h It's one thing. If you're
the complainer, the guy who calls the HA to complain,
chances are you've got things going on in your life,
sure that have nothing to do or I just.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Left you stole a minivan and drove to Mexico.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Right, you're upset about something, and I feel for you.
But so the person that fields that call and then
acts on that call, you're just a bad person. You're
just a power hungry bad person.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yes, And on Veterans Day of all days.
Speaker 8 (21:53):
Hey, Gary Shinnon, you know who I want to take.
I want to thank he didn't he served. I want
to thank you for his service as a veteran. I
also served myself. I did eight years, but that's neither
here or there. But yeah, thanks Elmer. We appreciate what
you did. And you got a great job working with
these two.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, don't forget that, Elmer.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Wow, I appreciate you, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It's not about you. No, No, yeah that Elman needs
to be thankful for the job that he does have. No,
I'm very thankful. This is so much fun every day.
You did not give Elmer his job? Uh No, No,
I'm just coaching him as a friend.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Did the universe?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Did I appreciate you? Next hour, uh? Stand up comedian
Leanne Morgan is going to join us. We'll talk about
her new special that just came out on Netflix that
we both watched both and enjoyed. We'll talk about dating
apps with dogs when we come back, though. I've got
questions about the I'm I'm trust dogs. I do trust
(23:02):
dogs and the decisions that they make about people.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
You think the dogs make the decision.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Well, I'm saying that your dog could could tell you
bad news right there, bad news just walk through the door.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I don't think that's how the dating app were no,
but but I wanted to. But do you believe that
your dogs choose you?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
But my mom always said that adopted kids choose their parents,
So I was just wondering if it works the same
in the kennel.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
You know, you dogs choose you are.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Enough, you were raised by people who absolutely adore you.
You're okay. You didn't come from a kennel. It was
a funny and you're not an unwanted person. Okay, thank you.
I want you to say that back to me. Gary
Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
True Crime Tuesday coming up in the next hour will
bring you one of the oldest true crime stories in
American history, the assassination of the twentieth President of the United.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
States, Starville. Yeah you got that.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You got that in the break was impressive. You should
go to a trivia night at a local bar.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
No, not a goodsion.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
Today, I'd like to honor my uncle Frank Reagan, who
served forty two years in the Navy.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
He was on the.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
US Sarasota, first ship to be hit during Pearl Harbor
and survived as well as my father in law, Charles Waldron,
who out of med school was drafted to serve in Vietnam,
served frontline as well as in Nash Camp.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
To this day he will not talk about his experiences.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I've got all thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, I've got a lot of uncles to tell you about.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
My aunt Mary Anne texted me Uncle Andy, my great uncle.
Her uncle was in World War Two, her uncle Lyndon,
uncle Charlie survived Pearl Harbor. My uncle Jim and uncle Al.
Jim was in the Navy, Al was in excuse me,
Jim was in the Army. Al was in the Navy
on the Constellation, and my uncle Al's uncle Alfonso was
(25:19):
killed on the Intrepid by a kamikaze.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Both grandparents are sorry. Both grandpas, i should say, served
in the military. I had an uncle who was a
clerk in Vietnam. I had another uncle who served in
the Air Force Reserves during the First Golf War. A
couple of cousins that both signed up for the Army.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
What a different time.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Faw was in the Navy for Vietnam and then served
with the Blue Angels.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
We didn't talk about it a lot, you know, growing up.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
If you had a member of the at least it
didn't seem like I mean, who knows, I'm a child,
a little girl, but it just seems like it wasn't
talked about a lot. I feel like if Pepe went
to war these days, they wouldn't stop talking about it.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Well, and I, like I said before, you know, part
of it was we all. It seemed like there was
a time when everybody's grandpa had been in the military
for some length of time or for whatever conflict it was.
But also it was because they had a lot more
people involuntarily. I always say, they were all drafted to
(26:27):
go and that's you just that was also an expectation
of that's how you served your country. Now, that kind
of aspect of it that for a lot of people
just goes by the wayside. There's still plenty of obviously
brave people who sign up to do that, but it's
it's not it's not mandatory obviously, so I think people
(26:49):
have a different attitude towards it.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
PS Michelle says that it is the same for shelter dogs.
They choose you, so it is the same. There is
a new dating app for dogs for people who love dogs,
and it's for dog people, and that's how it's called frolly.
I'm a mashup of frolic and jolly. This already makes
(27:14):
me want to run my head into a wall.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
And I want there to be a slider somewhere on
here that tells you how into dogs you are.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
It started with a woman named Cindy and she was
talking with her adult daughter, Amanda. Amanda had met somebody
at a bar. I saw her a week or so later.
I said, whatever happened to so and so? And Amanda said, well,
he wasn't that into dogs, which was a deal breaker.
And mom got the idea, well, why don't we specialize
(27:46):
this dating app for people who are into dogs.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I don't listen. I love animals. I love them very much.
I have a dog. I love it very much. But
I also understand not everybody likes dogs. Not everybody's cool
with a dog, Like I have zero problem my dog
jumping on the couch because he's small, he's clean, he's
not gonna get anybody, but he can, and he likes
(28:09):
to be near you. But I understand that there are
people who are like I don't want a dog on me.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
You make a great point.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You can be super into dogs in a completely different
way than the person you're dating. Right, you could be
the person who eats out of your dog's mouth and
sleeps with your dog in the bed, who's dating somebody
who also loves his or her dog.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Who is super hyper.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Clean with their dog.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
The dog does not get on the furniture.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
The dog certainly does not eat out of the downer's
mouth like it's That would be unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Right, Yeah, that's what I mean. I want there to
be like a rating system for.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Hel how cool are you at dogs?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
And I totally get the idea. I would be the
same way if I was dating and I had a dog,
I'd have to find somebody who was okay with the dog. Yeah,
they don't have to necessarily match my score on how
into dogs they are, but it can't be wildly different
if they can't be a five and I'm a two
when it comes to how much I love my.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Dog, well, I mean watchers and you're gonna move that
to a slider over and.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
That dog doesn't How hot is she.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
On my bed enough for the dog to sleep in
the bed?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Why would she want the dog to sleep in the bed.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
That's my problem. That would be my deal breaker. The
pets in the in the bed.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
That doesn't seem I mean, I enjoy the thought of it,
but in practicality, that's not where they belong, right, And
I know the whole pack thing. Yeah, no, there's they
now if I'm alone.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Like when I was growing up and I had Sparky,
Sparky slept in the bed with me.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
It was cool.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
But like when you get into a loving relationship kid,
two adults, two adults of each other, and you like
to do stuff with each other together in consensual well,
there's there's no there's none.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
There's no reason for the dog to sit there.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
And watch you.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
You can't that where it is.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Yoh so me and Diane actually kicked out both of
our dogs this past weeks or like a week or two,
and they're just like crying outside.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, last night they finally shut up, like they got
used to it.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, I let him cry it out. You'll do that
with your babies too, you know that baby.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
He'll be in the bat sinet in the other room
whaling and you'll be like, oh my gosh, we should
get the baby. And then it's like, now I can't
get the baby. Got to get back into that action mode.
You know what I mean, make a new baby.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Gary and Shannon will continue right after this. You've been
listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You can always
hear us live on KFI AM six forty nine am
to one pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio ap
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. Stars in the Distance a black
Knight in a land known as Galactoria. Right, you're following.
(00:24):
What are you doing on your phone? You're not listening?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Oh, I was just looking at stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
In a land known as Galactoria. A battle is brewing.
And then what you do is like the shot is
like almost like you're in a tunnel and it's all dark,
but the lights are going by you like this, So
it's it's like you're going at the speed of sound
(00:53):
or light or whatever it is. The lights are racing
by you. It's kind of like space mountain yep. And
so like you feel as the viewer that you're going
to Galactia, to the battle that's about to be brewing.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
What do you think, Uh, pretty generic? That's generic high
speed space where lights zoom past you. Right, that's pretty generic. Well,
it takes a long way to get to wherever you're going,
and so so I know that that's why you're traveling.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Going.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It's not like going to peek out.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
A different way to show that somehow do you think.
So it's done, been done in every science fiction movie ever. Oh,
I mean that's why you see it. I mean, I
it makes sense to me. But we're trying to do
something new and different. Oh okay, all right, but I
like the I like the starting point.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Do you like? Do you think Galactia is going to stick?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
You do?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Do you think people will see Galactia and think the
nipple thing?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Okay, I hope.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
So it's time for swamp watch.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I hope.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheap and a liar,
and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. Yeah,
we got the real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
So what I'm not going anywhere so.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
That the squat I can imagine what can be and
be unburdened by.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
What has been.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
You know, nervans have always been going at, but they're
not stupid.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Truth whether people voted for you. With not sap watch,
they're all countered.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So we talked about the anger at these eight Democratic
senators who voted with Republicans to end the shutdown, and
that anger shows from people in the know on Capitol
Hill that there is a dramatic shift going on, a
dramatic shift in the Democratic Party, and there is a
need amongst this group they believe to adopt more ruthless
(02:56):
tactics to counter Trump that the old Democrats of doing
things is not going to work.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I think there is an aspect of this that has
been completely adopted by Gavin Newsom, in that Gavin Newsom
is a guy who I don't think has a real great,
strong record in the state of California to run on
when he runs for president. You can't look at a
(03:27):
place like this that has high taxes, high gas taxes,
awful roads, crumbling infrastructure, a massive homelessness problem and then
say something along the lines of I can't wait to
bring my policies to the rest of the United States
of America. He just can't run on that record. But
what he can run on is I'm a fighter. I'm
(03:49):
going to take it to Donald Trump and whatever Republican
is the nominee. I'm going to have the quirky, funny
social media accounts that fight back at bullies. I'm going
to come up with the fun plans to unite people
in different ways, but I'm not going to run on
my record. And this ruthlessly pragmatic term may be something
(04:15):
that he's trying to do along with other Democrats.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
The being the bigger person in the room may not
be the playbook that they use going forward. In other words, right,
rather than try to uphold norms as Trump shatters them,
these Democrats have decided to fight Trump with tactics that
they previously disdained, excoriating those who have stood in their way,
(04:40):
whether it's on redistricting or standing by candidates with problematic pasts.
They've shifted course on redrawing congressional maps maps. As we've
seen in California, this was a group that liked the
independent commissions.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Not anymore you want.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You you want to f around Texas, well, we will
f around here in California.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Has been the shift.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It's no longer will be the bigger person in the
room and fight for the you know, blah blah blah
blah blah lah. It's okay, we'll fight dirty too. And
the Democrats who don't want to fight dirty, who want
to capitulate in Washington, they're taking a lot of heat
for it.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
That's what I was saying to you last week when
you said there was well there's this group of moderate Democrats,
and I said, well, moderate Democrats don't have any leverage anymore.
Well they did. They they capitulated, they got this done.
But there they might be done in the Democratic Party.
The new Democratic Party, Yeah, I don't know where this
(05:45):
It's a new thing for them.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
It's a new muscle that they're trying to exercise, and
I just don't feel like they've had enough experience with it.
I mean, they can be sort of out of the
box politically and try to grab those headlines with language,
with behavior and things like that, but policy is the
(06:08):
thing that they're going to end up having to be
able to communicate.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Look no further than Jay Jones to see the change
in the Democratic Party and the morality of the Democratic Party.
J Jones was the guy trying to become Virginia's next
attorney general. This was the guy whose violent text messages
from years ago were leaked just before election day. We
covered it here. They were awful, They threatened violence. I
(06:35):
think they threatened, you know, somebody should lose their life.
At one point they were pretty bad. The Democrats of
old would have thrown this guy out with the bathwater.
They would have said, no, not on our watch. How
we don't want someone in our party that would send
something like that. Well, they now have seen that Trump's
people would send that message and have no problem with it.
(06:56):
So all right, the bar has been lowered, the threshold
has been lowered. So what happened, Well, in the situation
with Jay Jones, Swing Left, a liberal group that was
born out of Trump's twenty sixteen election, a very angry
liberal group, decided to invest considerable money and time into
j Jones leak tech into his campaign after the leak text,
(07:19):
and you know what, it wasn't even a difficult decision.
This was a guy who nonchalantly talked about shooting the
former Republican Speaker of the House in the head. And
they said, you know what, the comments are awful, but
it was not a difficult decision to pour our money.
The guy that's the executive director of Swing Left said,
(07:40):
we just can't play by the old playbook of receding
to the background even when candidates have the warts. That
candidates have winning power, he says, is about math and
we have to win majorities. We have to be more
ruthlessly pragmatic, like you said, than we have ever been.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
And that's uncomfortable all.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And it doesn't It doesn't appeal, I think, to a
lot of people to see going back to the lowest
common denominator. Yeah, it grabs headlines, and it may in
the short term grab you votes. But if all you're
doing is performative and you're not you're not backing it
up with any real policy. I kind of feel like
(08:22):
that's just not the right way to do it. Nobody asks,
nobody cares about policy anymore. It's about policy anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Pasta, by the way, Italian pasta is going to disappear
from your store shell?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Can we do that when we come back? Because I'm
worried about that.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I shouldn't be worried about pasta. You're Oh wow, I
saw what you looked at when you did that. Okay,
all right, listen, I'm sitting funny, Is that what you're
I'm just it's sitting. It just looks funny, know what
you meant?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Hope you're proud of yourself.
Speaker 3 (08:58):

Speaker 6 (09:46):
Alloha, Gary and Shannon. On Veterans Day, I would like
to say thank you to my deceased mom and dad,
both were US Marines World War Two. To my uncles
that served in Europe the theater in World War Two.
My dad also served in Korea. He was a night
fighter pilot in the Marine Corps, as well as Jeff Nordetez,
(10:06):
who continues to assist and help veterans to this day
he served in Vietnam, and to Steve Garnet who was
a Navy medic to our marines in Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Quite a history that a lot of people have. It's
pretty amazing.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
I want to give a shout out to my son
Bryce william a retired Army Ranger VET who served in Kabble, Afghanistan.
He has now just finished his degree as a nurse
and is going to be working with the VA Hospital
to help other vets.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Wow. Continuing to get back.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Gary and Shannon. I want to remember my mom and
dad who both served in the US Army during World
War Two, Several aunts and uncles who served in the
US Army and the Navy during World War Two and Korea.
My older brother who served during the US Army during
the Vietnam era, nephew who served in the Air Force
(11:02):
in the modern era, and another nephew who served in
the Army during the Water.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Again, just amazing amount of people whose entire families have
some connection to the military.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, military blood runs deep, right, It's pretty I don't
want to say common, but when you hear about a
couple people in one family in the military. It's usually
a lot bigger than that for many reasons. But yeah,
so some Italian pasta exporters are facing combined import and
(11:38):
then anti dumping duties.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Say that part again.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
No, don't be weird. I've already said nipples like seventy
five times today.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
But you won't say anti dumping.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I have to have a line I have to I
have to have a line line business. Let's just say
it this way. Business is too costly, and Italian pasta
is going to be withdrawing from the market. In the
United States, US Commerce Department announced a ninety two percent
duty on thirteen Italian pasta companies. That's in addition to
(12:16):
the fifteen percent tariff on EU imports. So it's just
not worth it. It's too costly, and so you're not
going to see the Italian pasta on the shelves.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The Commerce Department did this after this investigation into pricing
practices for pasta that goes in everything from spaghetti bolonnes
to mac and cheese, and the severity of the decision, supposedly,
in their words, stunned one of Italy's most iconic industries,
obviously pasta, and has escalated into this fight between Washington,
(12:48):
d C. And Rome. Rome says they'll be fighting this tariff.
Lamo Selina, No Molis, Sana and other companies were asking
Commerce Department to revise its assessment and the final ruling,
and said one pasta maker, it would be a real
(13:08):
shame to have the market snatched from us for no
real reason.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Listen, I do you ever buy the Italian part? You
don't grocery shop.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
When I grocery shop and I see the pasta, I'm
in the pasta aisle. I bought pasta last night in Mide, Lasagna,
and I buy the generic pasta now because the stuff
is like five ninety nine for the generic, like pasta
used to be ninety nine cents maybe, and now with
the inflated costs of everything in the grocery store, the
(13:40):
Italian pasta is probably like ten dollars or something crazy.
Like I used to once in a while, get like
the Italian pasta whatever, just like you know, something nice,
mix it up. I'll get something nice. I won't just
get the burrillo or whatever burilla. But that stuff was
already expensive before everything started getting in and my husband
(14:01):
doesn't know the difference. I could feed him freaking you know,
chickpea pasta box. It all tastes like crap if I'm
making it, but it's just not worth it. It's like,
why who's buying that? I guess is my question. Who's
buying the Italian pasta in the grocery stores now?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
American pasta makers have regularly filed anti dumping complaints against
the Italian pasta makers, and the Commerce Department often found
that one or more of those companies was guilty of
underpricing their pasta, but the penalties were usually pretty small.
The Italian pasta makers would just see it as part
of the cost of doing business in what they consider
(14:44):
one of, if not the largest market for their product,
which is the United States. All pasta makers big and
small know that to export pasta to the US, you're
going to have to pay a tariff. But they're saying
that this the anti dumping duty, and the fifteen percent
tariff on imports from the EU, it gets up to
one hundred and seven percent.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You see these apple apple is unveiled iPhone pockets to
put like over your shoulder.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Oh it's like a strappy thing. Yeah, yeah, I saw
the headline that would really.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Be interesting to see, Like if I saw a dude
with an iPhone interesting across the body purse an iPhone.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Purse, interesting choice of words interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I know I've become my mom where I say interesting
to just.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
To say to hide the mean things that you want
to say, maybe yeah or just. I can't come up
with the right word. But it's not hot.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
It's not a sexy thing to do to wear across
the body purse like contraption for your iPhone.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Put it in your pocket, dude.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Storm is going to be rolling in moderate to strong storm.
We talked with KTLA Henry de Carlo at the top
of the show. The southern California rain will probably be
coming in late tomorrow. San Luis, Obispos, Santa Barbara Counties
will be the first to get the rain, and then
Ventura and La Counties on Thursday. Expected to peak late
(16:20):
Thursday into late Thursday morning, I should say into Thursday
night most of the rain is expected to come down.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Then you have a story to tell us.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Well, first of all, this is the one that peaked
our interests this morning.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Troops and families who live there have been told to
take down their Christmas decorations. There was an email sent
out by the landlord for all privatized housing on the
base and the message read this well driving the neighborhoods
yesterday it was noticed that Christmas decorations have already begun
to appear within the community. All holiday decorations should be
(17:02):
reflective in their respective months and not any sooner than
thirty days before the given holiday. If you currently have
you'll tied decorp present on the outside of your home,
please remove it and reinstall it in accordance with your
community guidelines listed below.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Debbie Downer, Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
If there's something to complain about this, ain't it now?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Again, this isn't the Air Force that's doing it, It's
the owners of the privatized housing that is on the
air force base. In fact, an Air Force Captain, Public
affairs chief there attend All Air Force Base, said that
the community association was just enforcing community standards outlined and
(17:46):
the legally binding lease agreement all residents voluntarily sign. They
added that Christmas decorations can be put up starting the
week after Thanksgiving through the first week of the new year,
and said since since standards are set by a particular
privatized housing community, the rules can vary from base to base.
(18:07):
There are probably eight homes in on my street that
already have Christmas lights up. Okay, the light, just the lights,
just the lights. There's one house specifically that for the
last I would say, ten days. Like as soon as
they took their Halloween decorations down, they immediately replaced them
with an extravagant, bright, flashing, loud, visually loud Christmas display.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
And I couldn't care less good.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
It's if they need that kind of joy this early
in the season, so be it.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Plus, it's one of those things that unless it's the
lights are blinding me and I'm next door or something
or across the street, it's not like that. It's not
like that.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, we live in America. We have the freedom in
this country. I'm sorry to put a reindeer out on
our front porch to April in April if we want to.
This is Veterans Day. This is a day built on
(19:13):
the backs of Americans to fight for freedom to do
what we want to do, even if it's stupid. S
people went to war for our ability to be free
to live, free to do what we want to do,
not to be forced by some government or some h
o way to take Rudolph off my lawn in April.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Like we this is our thing. We own the rights
to do this.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
And if you're gonna come to me in November, mid
November and tell me to take my Christmas decorations down, efen, you, sir,
want to go move to China, Okay, where you can
tell me to take down Rudolph or not to have
more babies or whatever else and no free speech and
no app and no TikTok go there, but not here,
(20:04):
not on our watch, sir.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I'm putting Rudolph out there. And if it's April, well
so be it.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Because this isn't China, is it, Gary, No, It's America?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
And how dare you?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
How dare you tell.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
People on an air force base that they can't put
decorations up for their little children who have to go
without mom or dad for several times a year, several
years at a time. Maybe maybe this is the first Christmas.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Where everyone's together in a long time.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
And if they want to start in November, let them
celebrate you a holes.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That made you hungry? Apparently that was weird. She finished,
She finished the rant, and they went straight for a
pita chip loaded with almush.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
That was.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Uh yeah. I also have similar rules in my HOA.
They're very specific about when you can put up decorations
like this.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's so silly.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
But I don't know what the penalty. I don't remember
if they're outlined in the whole thing about you can't.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Well, who writes that email with like a conscience? Oh,
that's the part that you know sends it. You're the
letter writer for your h It's one thing. If you're
the complainer, the guy who calls the HA to complain,
chances are you've got things going on in your life,
sure that have nothing to do or I just.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Left you stole a minivan and drove to Mexico.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Right, you're upset about something, and I feel for you.
But so the person that fields that call and then
acts on that call, you're just a bad person. You're
just a power hungry bad person.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yes, And on Veterans Day of all days.
Speaker 8 (21:53):
Hey, Gary Shinnon, you know who I want to take.
I want to thank he didn't he served. I want
to thank you for his service as a veteran. I
also served myself. I did eight years, but that's neither
here or there. But yeah, thanks Elmer. We appreciate what
you did. And you got a great job working with
these two.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, don't forget that, Elmer.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Wow, I appreciate you, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It's not about you. No, No, yeah that Elman needs
to be thankful for the job that he does have. No,
I'm very thankful. This is so much fun every day.
You did not give Elmer his job? Uh No, No,
I'm just coaching him as a friend.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Did the universe?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Did I appreciate you? Next hour, uh? Stand up comedian
Leanne Morgan is going to join us. We'll talk about
her new special that just came out on Netflix that
we both watched both and enjoyed. We'll talk about dating
apps with dogs when we come back, though. I've got
questions about the I'm I'm trust dogs. I do trust
(23:02):
dogs and the decisions that they make about people.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
You think the dogs make the decision.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Well, I'm saying that your dog could could tell you
bad news right there, bad news just walk through the door.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I don't think that's how the dating app were no,
but but I wanted to. But do you believe that
your dogs choose you?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
But my mom always said that adopted kids choose their parents,
So I was just wondering if it works the same
in the kennel.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
You know, you dogs choose you are.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Enough, you were raised by people who absolutely adore you.
You're okay. You didn't come from a kennel. It was
a funny and you're not an unwanted person. Okay, thank you.
I want you to say that back to me. Gary
Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
True Crime Tuesday coming up in the next hour will
bring you one of the oldest true crime stories in
American history, the assassination of the twentieth President of the United.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
States, Starville. Yeah you got that.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You got that in the break was impressive. You should
go to a trivia night at a local bar.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
No, not a goodsion.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
Today, I'd like to honor my uncle Frank Reagan, who
served forty two years in the Navy.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
He was on the.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
US Sarasota, first ship to be hit during Pearl Harbor
and survived as well as my father in law, Charles Waldron,
who out of med school was drafted to serve in Vietnam,
served frontline as well as in Nash Camp.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
To this day he will not talk about his experiences.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I've got all thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah, I've got a lot of uncles to tell you about.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
My aunt Mary Anne texted me Uncle Andy, my great uncle.
Her uncle was in World War Two, her uncle Lyndon,
uncle Charlie survived Pearl Harbor. My uncle Jim and uncle Al.
Jim was in the Navy, Al was in excuse me,
Jim was in the Army. Al was in the Navy
on the Constellation, and my uncle Al's uncle Alfonso was
(25:19):
killed on the Intrepid by a kamikaze.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Both grandparents are sorry. Both grandpas, i should say, served
in the military. I had an uncle who was a
clerk in Vietnam. I had another uncle who served in
the Air Force Reserves during the First Golf War. A
couple of cousins that both signed up for the Army.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
What a different time.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Faw was in the Navy for Vietnam and then served
with the Blue Angels.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
We didn't talk about it a lot, you know, growing up.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
If you had a member of the at least it
didn't seem like I mean, who knows, I'm a child,
a little girl, but it just seems like it wasn't
talked about a lot. I feel like if Pepe went
to war these days, they wouldn't stop talking about it.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Well, and I, like I said before, you know, part
of it was we all. It seemed like there was
a time when everybody's grandpa had been in the military
for some length of time or for whatever conflict it was.
But also it was because they had a lot more
people involuntarily. I always say, they were all drafted to
(26:27):
go and that's you just that was also an expectation
of that's how you served your country. Now, that kind
of aspect of it that for a lot of people
just goes by the wayside. There's still plenty of obviously
brave people who sign up to do that, but it's
it's not it's not mandatory obviously, so I think people
(26:49):
have a different attitude towards it.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
PS Michelle says that it is the same for shelter dogs.
They choose you, so it is the same. There is
a new dating app for dogs for people who love dogs,
and it's for dog people, and that's how it's called frolly.
I'm a mashup of frolic and jolly. This already makes
(27:14):
me want to run my head into a wall.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
And I want there to be a slider somewhere on
here that tells you how into dogs you are.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
It started with a woman named Cindy and she was
talking with her adult daughter, Amanda. Amanda had met somebody
at a bar. I saw her a week or so later.
I said, whatever happened to so and so? And Amanda said, well,
he wasn't that into dogs, which was a deal breaker.
And mom got the idea, well, why don't we specialize
(27:46):
this dating app for people who are into dogs.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I don't listen. I love animals. I love them very much.
I have a dog. I love it very much. But
I also understand not everybody likes dogs. Not everybody's cool
with a dog, Like I have zero problem my dog
jumping on the couch because he's small, he's clean, he's
not gonna get anybody, but he can, and he likes
(28:09):
to be near you. But I understand that there are
people who are like I don't want a dog on me.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
You make a great point.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You can be super into dogs in a completely different
way than the person you're dating. Right, you could be
the person who eats out of your dog's mouth and
sleeps with your dog in the bed, who's dating somebody
who also loves his or her dog.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Who is super hyper.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Clean with their dog.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
The dog does not get on the furniture.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
The dog certainly does not eat out of the downer's
mouth like it's That would be unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Right, Yeah, that's what I mean. I want there to
be like a rating system for.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Hel how cool are you at dogs?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
And I totally get the idea. I would be the
same way if I was dating and I had a dog,
I'd have to find somebody who was okay with the dog. Yeah,
they don't have to necessarily match my score on how
into dogs they are, but it can't be wildly different
if they can't be a five and I'm a two
when it comes to how much I love my.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Dog, well, I mean watchers and you're gonna move that
to a slider over and.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
That dog doesn't How hot is she.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
On my bed enough for the dog to sleep in
the bed?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Why would she want the dog to sleep in the bed.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
That's my problem. That would be my deal breaker. The
pets in the in the bed.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
That doesn't seem I mean, I enjoy the thought of it,
but in practicality, that's not where they belong, right, And
I know the whole pack thing. Yeah, no, there's they
now if I'm alone.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Like when I was growing up and I had Sparky,
Sparky slept in the bed with me.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
It was cool.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
But like when you get into a loving relationship kid,
two adults, two adults of each other, and you like
to do stuff with each other together in consensual well,
there's there's no there's none.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
There's no reason for the dog to sit there.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
And watch you.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
You can't that where it is.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Yoh so me and Diane actually kicked out both of
our dogs this past weeks or like a week or two,
and they're just like crying outside.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, last night they finally shut up, like they got
used to it.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, I let him cry it out. You'll do that
with your babies too, you know that baby.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
He'll be in the bat sinet in the other room
whaling and you'll be like, oh my gosh, we should
get the baby. And then it's like, now I can't
get the baby. Got to get back into that action mode.
You know what I mean, make a new baby.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Gary and Shannon will continue right after this. You've been
listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You can always
hear us live on KFI AM six forty nine am

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.
