Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
A M. Six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. People do this where they
like live their lives on three hours of sleep. Yeah, regularly,
people with children and all the things.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Three hours.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I feel good, Like I feel pretty good. I sleep
a wink on the plane. It was impossible to sleep.
I'm upright, I'm like this. I'm not drinking, so I'm
just like sitting there not you know, just just cannot
sleep sitting up right.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Matt snore.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
No, he does not snore, but I was jealous. He
did get to sleep. He had like a good rig setup,
like he had his like his Duffel bag on top
of his tray table with like the pillow that they
give you on the airline, and he had like yet
it set up like professional. I was just like an
idiot there in my seat, like sitting upright, trying to
(00:58):
like just put my head this way, put my way anyway.
It didn't work. But I got home at four am,
four oh one. I walk in the door and I
slept hard till about seven fifteen. So and I feel good,
like I feel People do this fine. I mean I
usually get a good eight hours. Oh yeah, I had
so far. I've had five shots of espresso this morning.
(01:19):
Oh so that's probably part of it. So you're now
you're you're at neutral.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Basically, the five shots of espresso to counteract the three
and a half hours of sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
You're you're at a neutral.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I feel good. Okay, I feel good. That's that is
good news. There is a bunch of stuff going on.
I wanted to revisit the story. It was kind of
it was going on yesterday. We talked about it. We
didn't spend a whole lot of time on it. And
that was Mayor Bass and the cleanup of that homeless
encampment by the four h five over there in vent Eyes.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I saw something on social media where she was doing
a community meeting with people in Encino worried about all
the break ins, and I didn't listen to any of it.
Thankfully I didn't have Wi FI, so I didn't hear
what she had to say.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, I thought that people Angelino's.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Interesting because it looked like a zoom meeting almost, and
I'm thinking, why wouldn't she just go to Encino, into
someone's living room and talk to them listen.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
As great as Zoom and Microsoft teams has been for meetings,
it's an awful, awful thing for people to fall back on,
and so I hate it.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I do too. And for something so personal like a
home break in and in some cases a double murder,
you got to show up in the neighborhood, right, I
have thought.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But we'll talk about what she said.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
One of the questions to her was whether or not
these homeless encampment cleanups are a results of the sporting
events that are coming in the next few years. Because
she gave the wrong answer, and we'll explain coming up.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Also, the tsunami after the earthquake off the Komchatka Peninsula,
there was about a million dollars worth of damage done
to a port here in California, up in Crescent City.
They said that Whost area saw minimal impact, but in
Crescent City they had a tsunami wave of about four feet.
(03:07):
The bunch of docks got lipped up off their pilings,
slammed into the harbor, caused a munch of damage to boats,
and they're putting it at about a million bucks.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yesterday, I was at the stadium in Canton getting ready
for pregame. When I saw the Dustin May news and
I text my husband Dustin May exclamation point, and then
the next text was is this a big deal? Question Mark?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
No, it proves that the Dodgers are very confident with
their team going forward.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
We'll get into all of that as well. And then
I also see a stingray alert on the program. Should
we be worried? Is Deborah okay? Is that a concern
of hers as well?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Check your dead Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
So the President has some sweeping new taxes on imports
set to take effect a week from now. The White
House is trying to reshuffle the deck when it comes
to international trading. Stock markets have been down today, the
Dow Jones Industrial Average down a little more than a
percent and a half. S and P five one hundred
and Nasdaq are in that same in that same neighborhood.
(04:04):
They announced that the modified versions of the Trump tariffs
that were originally talked about back in April are going
to kick in August seventh, that's Thursday. So that gives
our officials Customs and Border Protection specifically time to prepare
to collect the tariffs. The President rolled out frameworks for
(04:25):
deals with eleven of our top fifteen trading partners, and
obviously said that the two of the big ones, China
and Mexico are going to stay in effect as they
continue trade talks there. It's not over with because there
are some other issues that are going into this. Also
a jobs report that came out, so we'll get into
some of that economic news.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Also, the Canadian Prime Minister said today he is disappointed
by the decision to increase tariffs on Canada, but as
let the door open for a potential deal like the
President's going to capitulate to Canada.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Can I tell you speaking of Canada, the dating rumors
that are going on, and justin Trudeau.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
People I could can't care less, careless, Yes, I mean love,
love that for them, but get the hell out of
my news alerts. Don't care.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I don't want to know what they care about.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Well, she's an astronaut, and with all the recent news
about astronomer, she was like, I want attention. I'm an astronaut.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Would you think that's why? Orlando Bloom was like, I'm done.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I think a number of things. I don't know how
stars go out with stars period, Like they're all such
baggage filled humans. I mean, how could you not be baggage?
How could you not be if you achieve stardom like
that in Hollywood you're Orlando Bloom, you're Katy Perry, and
then you're going to date another one of you, how
(06:00):
does that work? I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It's a lot of gross.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It's a lot of me me me me me me
me me me me me me me is isn't that
like a song warm up thing?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
That was a very poor attempt at it. If you
were doing, how's it supposed to go?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I don't know. I've never asked Keanna, she's the singer Keiana.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Do you know how the me me me thing goes?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
What can you do scales when you're warming up to sing?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
How does it supposed to sound?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm sorry I missed? Me me me me, me me me.
There you go.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Elmer nailed it.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Me.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Oh oh that's pretty. That's nice Winter, Gary and Channon, Elmber,
you were pretty too.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Forty eighty eight is our Flashback Friday year Because Elmer
felt like it.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
That's a that's official.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
A couple of stories that were following A few remember
the story out of the South down in Little Rock,
Arkansas teacher who authorities say admitted to fatally kill it
fatally killing, fatally stabbing sorry a couple that he didn't
know who were hiking with two of their kids in
an Arkansas state park.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
He has faced a judge for the first time.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
This guy's charged with two counts of capital murder in
the killings over the weekend of forty three year old
Clinton Brink and his forty one year old wife, Kristen.
The teacher being held without bond, briefly appeared before a
judge this morning at a detention Center's been assigned to
public defender, and arraignment has been scheduled for later this month.
The Smithsonian has apparently removed a reference to President Trump's
(07:41):
impeachments from one of their exhibits. They say it's a
temporary change, but the decision comes as the White House
has been pressing for more positive views of history. A
label about impeachment was added a few years ago to
the National Museum for American History's exhibit on Presidential Power.
A spokesperson for the Smithsonian said the section needs an overhaul. Trump,
(08:05):
of course, the only president who's been impeached twice. Zimmerman
says the impeachment reference will be restored after revisions. Since
the beginning of this year, Trump has been demanding some
changes across institutions, including the Smithsonian and the Library of
Congress and the Kennedy Center, among other places. As we
mentioned the trade deadline, yesterday in baseball saw a lot
(08:28):
of teams going back and forth with some winners. The
Dodgers really going to make a huge move. They got
up some prospects and got rid of Big Orange.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Justin May.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I just had to go grab something downstairs, and Michael
Monks was riding the elevator with me up and he goes,
how are you doing good? You had enough sleep? I said, yeah,
I'm good.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
How was your weekend? He goes, he's looking at me weird,
and I'm like, oh, you didn't have much of a weekend.
Probably you worked. And he's like, Shannon, it's Friday. He's like,
this is not Monday. And I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, no,
I'm doing great, making perfect sense everywhere I go.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
The Chargers did beat the Lions thirty four to seven
last night in that first preseason game of the season,
last night's Pro Football Hall of Fame game back in Canton.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I have something exciting to show you. Okay, I got
a package here and I'm really excited.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
You are I'm going to be distracted. Is the one
that was on your desk? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And I opened it and there's a note It says,
a gift for you from Amazon. Hi, Shannon, I heard
you wanted a cat, but Gary wasn't going for it.
Solved the problem. PS Chuck Connor. Connors lived in Bear
Valley Springs to Hatchipee prior to his death. This is
from Janet from Ta Hatchipie. Okay, and it's Legos and
(09:45):
it's a cat.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It's a Lego cat. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm so excited because I am really into Legos. I
just found out and I I am super excited because
here's the thing what Janet sent us. It's not just
a cat. It can also be a bird and a dog.
We could have a cat for a while and then
(10:08):
we get tired of the cat. We can turn it
into a show bird, and then we can turn into
a show dog.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I mean, how cool is this a Lego ball of yarn.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And a lego mouse. I mean, isn't this exciting? And
see the ball of yarn is orange and for the cat,
that ball of yarn turns into the bird's feet when
it becomes a bird. I'm super excited to get started.
It says eight eight plus, so that means me, so
(10:41):
you qualify. Thank you, Janet. I'm super excited. And it
came with a Chuck Connor's fun fact. I mean, does
she know us or what?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I didn't know that he was living in the country
like that.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I mean, I think they're a lot about Chuck Connors
that we don't know, Like we're just scratched the surface.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Would be interesting to do a deep dive on Chuck
Connor's profile him over the course of a couple of segments.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Sometimes next week we do that.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
We've done that like ten times.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I'm sorry, I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
We can't do it again.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Something new every time.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Wall Street right now, the Dow is down about four
hundred points s and P five is also down.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Escapes me when I'm when I'm tired. I know the
filter is all these pieces, with all these legos. There's
three different books, probably one for the cat, one for
the bird, and one for the dog. What should we
make first? Should we make the cat? For you guys,
I want to make the cat cat first. Cat. Okay,
(11:46):
it's the biggest book, but okay, we're gonna make the
cat first. Cool. I'm excited, We're all excited. I'm sorry,
you're gonna name the cat.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
We're gonna have to take talkbacks on the name of
the lego cat.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yes, it's for the show.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's for the show.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It's a show cat.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
It's for the benefit of the show, right, and.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Then we can post pictures of the cat, whose name
we don't know yet, so let us know.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Your eyes are doing a really weird thing right now,
and I can't I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
That's not what that is.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
It could be the espresso.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
It could be.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, that's a little bit manic.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yes, Amy, that's a great descriptor. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Well.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I've had five shots in two hours and a little
angry you know what. See you guys, I have to
tell you this brief story. So, like, I totally soft
pedaled my way into this preseason. Like even Gary was like,
aren't you excited? I was like, nah, I'm not excited,
it's just preseason whatever. But I found myself getting to
(12:53):
the hotel in Cleveland and get checked in. Not that
you're checked in, you just pick up an envelope with
your name on it with your room key, dumped my
stuff in the room, was going to go down to
get some food and I'd go to the elevator banks.
We're on the eleventh floor and Jim Harbaugh is the
only person standing outside the elevator bank and we had
just gotten into Cleveland this first time I've seen him
since last season. And the team rooms were on level
(13:17):
three and that's where he was going, and he had
pressed the down button on the elevator bank and I
look at him and I go hey, and he goes hey.
I go you're not going to take the stairs? And
he starts looking around like thinking about it, Like I like,
what was I thinking?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I have no idea?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Like the man has new hips, like one, am I
not going to take the stairs? Pansy like what whoa? Whoa?
I mean that's how excited I was, though, you know,
like let's take the stairs, let's go, let's do this.
It's July, we're back.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Just drop and give him twenty while you were there too.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
No, No, I mean when Jim Harbaugh looks at you
like you're insane, Like, maybe it's time to think about
you know, your espress.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Maybe it's time to go back to the whole, like, Hey,
that should have been part of my internal monologue and
not external right, right, Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
We'll work on it this In the meantime, we're going
to take suggestions for the cat.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, if you're listening on the app, just hit that
little talkback.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But doing this against my better.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I love that you're going along with this one.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Well, I'm afraid about what's about to happen if I
don't so.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
But would you rather have like a real cat, right,
the lego cat? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Gary, I would rather have the lego should be embracing
this because the lego cat's not going to look at
me and judge me. So step one is I take
all the things in the bag number one, and then
I pour them out.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
This is a great idea.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Mentioned.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
You can leave us talkbacks on the iHeart app while
you're there. By the way, on the app, you can
add KFI as a preset. You can also add the
Gary Shannon Show podcast as a pre set. At the
top of the hour, we're going to talk about the
latest higher institution of higher learning that is in a
giant PP match with the administration, and it happens to
(15:10):
be U C l A.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
We'll talk about.
Speaker 8 (15:12):
Why Good morning the cat O Joe ojo le Oh
g yeah, where you go ojo oja? People think you're
saying O jay oj but you're not.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I got Legolas les.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Oh like, isn't that a three Musketeer?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I don't know. It's lost us from Oh my gosh,
oh gosh, Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
At it is that.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
A cat in Lord of the Rings?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
No, it's Orlando Bloom's character.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Oh so he's tying in Scott, You're clever. He's tying
in the cat and the conversation.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That's very much. That's next level. Listen, somebody had eight
hours of sleep.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That's that's a good.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
That's a pretty name.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
They go, less, Are you going to watch Lord of
the Rings now?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
No? I just say I just think it might be
in the running as our cat's name.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
We told you.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Earlier this week, former Vice President Kamala Harris said that
she is not going to be running for governor. She
didn't say she wouldn't run for president, but she said
she's not going to be running for governor. And she
gave her first interview last night to the soon to
be departed Stephen Colbert. And listen, these two just sitting
(16:30):
across the table, slobbyurn on each other.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I was just gonna say, but he did ask clean
up on Aisle nine.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
He did ask an interesting question that I thought was
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
We'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
She did say she doesn't want to get back involved
with politics because politics is broken.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Recently, I made the decision that I just for now,
I don't want to go back in the system.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I think it's broken.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
I believe, and I always believed that as fragile as
our demand is, our systems would be strong enough to
defend our most fundamental principles. And I think right now
that they're not as strong as they need to be.
(17:15):
And I just don't want to for now, I don't
want to go back in the system.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
You know she's not wrong when she says the system
is broken. I was recently asking a Democrat that I know,
who do you like for twenty twenty eight? Is it
Gavin is it somebody else? Who do you like? And
the question, and that used to be a normal question
that you would ask ten years ago, twenty years ago,
(17:39):
and the answer was anybody who can win. And that's
where we're at. It's not who you like, Oh, I
like that moderate Democrat out of Michigan because she is
First of all, I don't remember her name. Second of all,
you know, I like what she's going to do for
affordable housing or the environment or whatever there there is.
(18:00):
Youes are you know, they're dedicated to this or that
or the other thing, justice reform or whatever your your
project is that you're into as a Democrat or a
Republican or what have you. It's whoever can beat that
guy is what's going on. And to me, that is
a broken system because shouldn't you be voting for someone
(18:21):
who is the change you want to see? Not to
sound all fluffy, but yes, like you know, you used
to ask democrats what they thought, you know, fifteen years ago,
and it was like, well, I like, you know John
Edwards because of this, or I like Barack Obama because
of that. And now it's I want whoever's going to win.
Forget about what their qualifications are forget about what they're into,
(18:43):
what the message is, what the platform is, just can
they win. That's a desperate place to be for Democrats,
and nothing ever good comes out of operating and desperation.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
That's actually part of why I think Stephen Colby asked her,
who is the leader of the Democratic Party?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Who's leading the Democratic Party? I'm just curious.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
There are lots of leaders, and we're generally a leader
of the Democratic Party, you know, like, oh.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
That's the leader Donative Party? Who comes to mind.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
I think there are a lot of I'm not going
to go through names because then I'm gonna leave somebody
out and then I'm going to.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Hear about it.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
But let me just she's right say this.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I think it is a mistake for us who want
to figure out how to get out and through this
and get out of it, to put it on the
shoulders of any one person. It's really on all of
our shoulders.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Okay, that's a BS response. She should have stuck with
the truth, which was I'm not going to tell you,
I'm not going to name names. You know, I'll be
blown up for weeks over this and just stuck with that,
or say.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I want to be the leader of the party or
something like that. I mean she I think she wanted
the question to be answered quickly and she wanted to
be able to say I am the leader of the
Democratic Party. But she was at least honest when she
said there are a lot of different people. I just
(20:13):
don't think any of them are emerging as leaders up
to this point. But also the final thing that I'll
play from last night's interview was whether or not she
wanted to distance herself from President Biden.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
There were a lot of questions.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
You remember she did that tell tale interview on the
View where she was asked, is there anything that Biden.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Has done that maybe you didn't agree with?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, she couldn't come up with anything, And that was
one of the criticisms was she didn't do anything to
distance herself from that guy.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I was not going to pile on and I just
wasn't going to do that.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
And there was a lot of piling on at that time.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
This is fine, I mean, this is one of those things.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Where there wasn't piling on. Is the problem. There was
no piling on from the Democrats. Everyone lied, Everyone lied,
even though we knew what we were seeing with our
own eyes. If there was one Democrat that came out
and said, and who was it? We spoke to him.
What is Philip? Jean Phillips was the only one who
came out and said, this guy's losing his mind. If
(21:18):
I'm not mistaken, it was only Dean Phillips. There was
no piling on in the Democratic Party, which made me
not trust any of y'all, any of.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
You, which is crazy that she can still see it
that way. Now.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Internally she may have felt like it was piling on,
but externally they circled the wagons and they did nothing
to criticize Joe Biden and wanted to tell everybody that
he was perfectly fine.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Lego cat, Hey.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Guys, that's funny.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
I'm driving the Tahatchepee right now, going home from Livermore.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Livermore. I think you should name the cat in honor
of Chuck Connors.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Chuckingers here, chuckingers.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Oh, chucking hers, write that down, chuckingers, chuckin'ers. Oh this
is difficult, guys. This is harder than it looks. Well,
it is now an eight year old does this?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
It is up? You know, eight and up.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
I know.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I'm just saying up next a very creepy story.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I'm building the mouse right now, the mouse that plays
with the cat. I mean the mouse that the cat
plays with girl.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Girls in a hotel room. See somebody trying to break
into their hotel room.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Oh, I feel bad for whoever that is. Is that
the way the story goes? You mean, did they kill
him or try to?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Because girls can be very, very violent.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Elmer chose nineteen eighty eight for our Flashback Friday year
because the universe told him to do so.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
He was in tune with it. He was whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
He was, firmly planted on his two feet, and he said,
nineteen eighty eight with confidence, with confidence, Morning, Gary, Shannon, Debrah.
I'm also excited about your lego cat. Can't wait to
see the pictures when it's assembled. So my suggestion for
the name is cat Former. Thanks, cat Former, like Transformer,
(23:14):
but cat Former in case you didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Get a cat Former.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, that's why I explained it. Hi, this is Marsha.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I actually have that lego set and it's sitting in
my closet waiting for me to put it together.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Much fun for a name for the cat.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
How about Loki. It's the Marvel character that could shift shape.
So since the cat can turn into other characters, I
think Loki would be a good Loki.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Like hot Brother Yes, okay by Tom Hidleston. Yeah, actually
lovable character. That's very flawed.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I don't know about lovable.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I like him.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
He should give him weird person name like Henry or
Peter or David, you know something along those lines.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Well, Peter, I want something whimsical. Our cat is going
to be whimsical, something with whimsy.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Three Bay Area high school athletes were here in SoCal
for a water polo tournament down in Orange County. They're
at the Marriott Delta Hotel in Garden Grove. One of
the girls wakes up after midnight can't figure out what
woke her at. Some sound woke her up. When she
(24:36):
looked around to find the source of the sound, she
saw a little wire wriggling underneath the door to their room.
So Charlotte, seventeen years old, recorded video of the wire,
which had a loop at one end, moving back and
forth before it wraps around the inside door handle. She
(25:02):
grabs the wire and tries to speak whoever with whoever
was moving the wire on the other side of the
door out in the hallway. She said, Honestly, it was
one of the most scary things that's ever happened to me.
Whoever was someone on the other side of the door
could be heard replying hello, is someone still there?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
What?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Charlotte's mom said she met with a hotel general manager
and was told the incident involved a room check. They
did confirm it was an employee. This is according to Mom.
When I asked if the employee had been terminated, I
was told that he was going to be terminated. The girls,
for all of their fear and fraught, were given a
(25:48):
gift basket and a balloon.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
This is all bizarre from there to finish, isn't it.
Later switched rooms a gift basket at a hotel in
Garden Grove that about.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Charlotte's mother also said, I have no idea. Was it theft,
was it trafficking? I want to know the explanation that
has been provided doesn't add up.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
You. The name of this establishment again.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
The Marriott Delta Hotel.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
It's a Marriott.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Charlotte's mother, the coach, and some other parents filed a
police report with Garden Grove PD. They said they're investigating
to see if this was a crime or some sort
of a misunderstanding.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Looks like a nice place.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Sergeant with the police department said, there is the maintenance
records and things like that, so whatever communication the hotel
has with their staff, the work orders, the detectives are
going to want to look into that a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It's the creepiest thing it's ever happened to you in
a hotel.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Well, there is a couple hot We just stayed in
one of the haunted hotels in Cleveland. It's where the
team always stays when we play in Cleveland, and it's haunted.
It's an old hotel. There's a haunted one and when
they play the Patriots too, and sometimes there are lights
that come on, there are noises. And that is nothing
(26:59):
compared to to the experience that we had in Middleburg Heights, Ohio,
which was the creepiest experience of my life. If you
don't know the story, we went to the RNC ten
years ago and all the hotels were bought up, all
the hotels, so we stayed outside of Cleveland. Gary and
(27:19):
Oscar and I and Ray and I think that's it.
I think John knew a guy or something.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Oh, that's right, they weren't.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
They were not in that hotel. And yeah, John and
Ken were like in some sort of like penthouse somewhere probably,
and we were in like the I called it a
dead hooker hotel because clearly several hookers had died there.
It was the worst of the worst signs of fourth century.
There was matter on the walls, blood spatter, like all
(27:46):
of it. My sink was held up by a two
by four. Like. It was really bad. We're not being dramatic.
It was awful.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Sweet James sent us pillow covers, yeah, to cover the pillow, right,
because they were so nasty.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Now, it's one of those hotels where you don't want
to look at anything for a long period of time
because of what you will discover. You don't want to
look at the ground, you don't want to look at
the sheets. Nothing too hard. You kind of want to
blur your eyes when you're looking around. That said, you
do want light. And it was about three in the morning,
four in the morning something like that when we lost power.
Oh yeah, and already we're in an unsafe environment. I
(28:20):
felt unsafe in there. We're scattered by the way. It's
not like we were next to each other in our rooms,
Like we're on opposite sides of this shole and the
power goes out and it's if I remember correctly, it's raining.
There was storms. It was terrifying. I was terrified. I
think I texted you. Did we have phones? We had phones? Phones, yes,
(28:42):
but like, oh my god, what's going on? And you
were like, we're gonna leave early. And we it was
just like, okay, come glad that I you know, we
had that lifeline. If I was there alone, I would
have been totally terrified.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
You would have run out into the streets, which would
have been.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Bad because there were people. Remember there was a guy
with the gun and a van. Oh yeah, It's like
it was really shady.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
It doesn't get better the more you look back on that, Like, well,
and imagine if if someone what I don't understand about
the hotel, this hotel, this specific incident of a wire
under the door that was then looped around the door handle.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
It's like, you know, I guess if if in an emergency,
someone had to break into a hotel room for a room.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
For a for a a.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Welfare check, right, But they have the key that allows
them to get into the room, do they not? Yeah,
unless for some reason the lock on the outside wasn't
working and they thought that people were aren't.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
There the rules for gaining entry?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Uh, perhaps knock on the door before before you try
to break in, Yeah, just in the off chance that
there is somebody in the room.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
It doesn't make any sense to me. It seems very nefarious.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
There was one time I can't even remember exactly what
the circumstance was. I was given a room, and I
with the key and everything room number, and I go
up to the room and someone's stuff was already there.
It hadn't been unpacked, but obviously there were four or
five suitcases in the room.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Did you go through it?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
No?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
But I remember thinking it was creepy. It was creepy
to me because I thought, how many times has someone coming.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
To my room? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
It's like someone's in your space in yours. It's an
intrusive feeling.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
So if any crazy things have happened in hotels, we'd
love to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
It's also a Friday, which means we're doing what you
learned this week on the Gary and Channon Till you
could see it.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It is not Monday.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
It is not Monday in any place on this planet. Yeah,
but we'll get through this. Dingy.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Look at the ball of yarns coming along. I built this.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
That's bigger than I thought it would be.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Well, there's a lot that went into it, a lot
of yarn. There's a lot of different legos inside of
this you don't even know about. You can't even see them.
The infrastructure is solid, pretty complicated.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
When we come back, UCLA is now in a fight
with the Trump administration. We'll talk about what kind of
money they stand to lose in this fight. 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
(31:19):
the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
A M. Six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. People do this where they
like live their lives on three hours of sleep. Yeah, regularly,
people with children and all the things.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Three hours.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I feel good, Like I feel pretty good. I sleep
a wink on the plane. It was impossible to sleep.
I'm upright, I'm like this. I'm not drinking, so I'm
just like sitting there not you know, just just cannot
sleep sitting up right.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Matt snore.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
No, he does not snore, but I was jealous. He
did get to sleep. He had like a good rig setup,
like he had his like his Duffel bag on top
of his tray table with like the pillow that they
give you on the airline, and he had like yet
it set up like professional. I was just like an
idiot there in my seat, like sitting upright, trying to
(00:58):
like just put my head this way, put my way anyway.
It didn't work. But I got home at four am,
four oh one. I walk in the door and I
slept hard till about seven fifteen. So and I feel good,
like I feel People do this fine. I mean I
usually get a good eight hours. Oh yeah, I had
so far. I've had five shots of espresso this morning.
(01:19):
Oh so that's probably part of it. So you're now
you're you're at neutral.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Basically, the five shots of espresso to counteract the three
and a half hours of sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
You're you're at a neutral.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I feel good. Okay, I feel good. That's that is
good news. There is a bunch of stuff going on.
I wanted to revisit the story. It was kind of
it was going on yesterday. We talked about it. We
didn't spend a whole lot of time on it. And
that was Mayor Bass and the cleanup of that homeless
encampment by the four h five over there in vent Eyes.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I saw something on social media where she was doing
a community meeting with people in Encino worried about all
the break ins, and I didn't listen to any of it.
Thankfully I didn't have Wi FI, so I didn't hear
what she had to say.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, I thought that people Angelino's.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Interesting because it looked like a zoom meeting almost, and
I'm thinking, why wouldn't she just go to Encino, into
someone's living room and talk to them listen.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
As great as Zoom and Microsoft teams has been for meetings,
it's an awful, awful thing for people to fall back on,
and so I hate it.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I do too. And for something so personal like a
home break in and in some cases a double murder,
you got to show up in the neighborhood, right, I
have thought.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But we'll talk about what she said.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
One of the questions to her was whether or not
these homeless encampment cleanups are a results of the sporting
events that are coming in the next few years. Because
she gave the wrong answer, and we'll explain coming up.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Also, the tsunami after the earthquake off the Komchatka Peninsula,
there was about a million dollars worth of damage done
to a port here in California, up in Crescent City.
They said that Whost area saw minimal impact, but in
Crescent City they had a tsunami wave of about four feet.
(03:07):
The bunch of docks got lipped up off their pilings,
slammed into the harbor, caused a munch of damage to boats,
and they're putting it at about a million bucks.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yesterday, I was at the stadium in Canton getting ready
for pregame. When I saw the Dustin May news and
I text my husband Dustin May exclamation point, and then
the next text was is this a big deal? Question Mark?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
No, it proves that the Dodgers are very confident with
their team going forward.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
We'll get into all of that as well. And then
I also see a stingray alert on the program. Should
we be worried? Is Deborah okay? Is that a concern
of hers as well?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Check your dead Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
So the President has some sweeping new taxes on imports
set to take effect a week from now. The White
House is trying to reshuffle the deck when it comes
to international trading. Stock markets have been down today, the
Dow Jones Industrial Average down a little more than a
percent and a half. S and P five one hundred
and Nasdaq are in that same in that same neighborhood.
(04:04):
They announced that the modified versions of the Trump tariffs
that were originally talked about back in April are going
to kick in August seventh, that's Thursday. So that gives
our officials Customs and Border Protection specifically time to prepare
to collect the tariffs. The President rolled out frameworks for
(04:25):
deals with eleven of our top fifteen trading partners, and
obviously said that the two of the big ones, China
and Mexico are going to stay in effect as they
continue trade talks there. It's not over with because there
are some other issues that are going into this. Also
a jobs report that came out, so we'll get into
some of that economic news.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Also, the Canadian Prime Minister said today he is disappointed
by the decision to increase tariffs on Canada, but as
let the door open for a potential deal like the
President's going to capitulate to Canada.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Can I tell you speaking of Canada, the dating rumors
that are going on, and justin Trudeau.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
People I could can't care less, careless, Yes, I mean love,
love that for them, but get the hell out of
my news alerts. Don't care.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I don't want to know what they care about.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Well, she's an astronaut, and with all the recent news
about astronomer, she was like, I want attention. I'm an astronaut.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Would you think that's why? Orlando Bloom was like, I'm done.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I think a number of things. I don't know how
stars go out with stars period, Like they're all such
baggage filled humans. I mean, how could you not be baggage?
How could you not be if you achieve stardom like
that in Hollywood you're Orlando Bloom, you're Katy Perry, and
then you're going to date another one of you, how
(06:00):
does that work? I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It's a lot of gross.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It's a lot of me me me me me me
me me me me me me me is isn't that
like a song warm up thing?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
That was a very poor attempt at it. If you
were doing, how's it supposed to go?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I don't know. I've never asked Keanna, she's the singer Keiana.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Do you know how the me me me thing goes?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
What can you do scales when you're warming up to sing?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
How does it supposed to sound?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm sorry I missed? Me me me me, me me me.
There you go.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Elmer nailed it.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Me.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Oh oh that's pretty. That's nice Winter, Gary and Channon, Elmber,
you were pretty too.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Forty eighty eight is our Flashback Friday year Because Elmer
felt like it.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
That's a that's official.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
A couple of stories that were following A few remember
the story out of the South down in Little Rock,
Arkansas teacher who authorities say admitted to fatally kill it
fatally killing, fatally stabbing sorry a couple that he didn't
know who were hiking with two of their kids in
an Arkansas state park.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
He has faced a judge for the first time.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
This guy's charged with two counts of capital murder in
the killings over the weekend of forty three year old
Clinton Brink and his forty one year old wife, Kristen.
The teacher being held without bond, briefly appeared before a
judge this morning at a detention Center's been assigned to
public defender, and arraignment has been scheduled for later this month.
The Smithsonian has apparently removed a reference to President Trump's
(07:41):
impeachments from one of their exhibits. They say it's a
temporary change, but the decision comes as the White House
has been pressing for more positive views of history. A
label about impeachment was added a few years ago to
the National Museum for American History's exhibit on Presidential Power.
A spokesperson for the Smithsonian said the section needs an overhaul. Trump,
(08:05):
of course, the only president who's been impeached twice. Zimmerman
says the impeachment reference will be restored after revisions. Since
the beginning of this year, Trump has been demanding some
changes across institutions, including the Smithsonian and the Library of
Congress and the Kennedy Center, among other places. As we
mentioned the trade deadline, yesterday in baseball saw a lot
(08:28):
of teams going back and forth with some winners. The
Dodgers really going to make a huge move. They got
up some prospects and got rid of Big Orange.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Justin May.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I just had to go grab something downstairs, and Michael
Monks was riding the elevator with me up and he goes,
how are you doing good? You had enough sleep? I said, yeah,
I'm good.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
How was your weekend? He goes, he's looking at me weird,
and I'm like, oh, you didn't have much of a weekend.
Probably you worked. And he's like, Shannon, it's Friday. He's like,
this is not Monday. And I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, no,
I'm doing great, making perfect sense everywhere I go.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
The Chargers did beat the Lions thirty four to seven
last night in that first preseason game of the season,
last night's Pro Football Hall of Fame game back in Canton.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I have something exciting to show you. Okay, I got
a package here and I'm really excited.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
You are I'm going to be distracted. Is the one
that was on your desk? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And I opened it and there's a note It says,
a gift for you from Amazon. Hi, Shannon, I heard
you wanted a cat, but Gary wasn't going for it.
Solved the problem. PS Chuck Connor. Connors lived in Bear
Valley Springs to Hatchipee prior to his death. This is
from Janet from Ta Hatchipie. Okay, and it's Legos and
(09:45):
it's a cat.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It's a Lego cat. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm so excited because I am really into Legos. I
just found out and I I am super excited because
here's the thing what Janet sent us. It's not just
a cat. It can also be a bird and a dog.
We could have a cat for a while and then
(10:08):
we get tired of the cat. We can turn it
into a show bird, and then we can turn into
a show dog.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I mean, how cool is this a Lego ball of yarn.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And a lego mouse. I mean, isn't this exciting? And
see the ball of yarn is orange and for the cat,
that ball of yarn turns into the bird's feet when
it becomes a bird. I'm super excited to get started.
It says eight eight plus, so that means me, so
(10:41):
you qualify. Thank you, Janet. I'm super excited. And it
came with a Chuck Connor's fun fact. I mean, does
she know us or what?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I didn't know that he was living in the country
like that.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I mean, I think they're a lot about Chuck Connors
that we don't know, Like we're just scratched the surface.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Would be interesting to do a deep dive on Chuck
Connor's profile him over the course of a couple of segments.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Sometimes next week we do that.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
We've done that like ten times.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I'm sorry, I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
We can't do it again.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Something new every time.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Wall Street right now, the Dow is down about four
hundred points s and P five is also down.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Escapes me when I'm when I'm tired. I know the
filter is all these pieces, with all these legos. There's
three different books, probably one for the cat, one for
the bird, and one for the dog. What should we
make first? Should we make the cat? For you guys,
I want to make the cat cat first. Cat. Okay,
(11:46):
it's the biggest book, but okay, we're gonna make the
cat first. Cool. I'm excited, We're all excited. I'm sorry,
you're gonna name the cat.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
We're gonna have to take talkbacks on the name of
the lego cat.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yes, it's for the show.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's for the show.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It's a show cat.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
It's for the benefit of the show, right, and.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Then we can post pictures of the cat, whose name
we don't know yet, so let us know.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Your eyes are doing a really weird thing right now,
and I can't I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
That's not what that is.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
It could be the espresso.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
It could be.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, that's a little bit manic.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yes, Amy, that's a great descriptor. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Well.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I've had five shots in two hours and a little
angry you know what. See you guys, I have to
tell you this brief story. So, like, I totally soft
pedaled my way into this preseason. Like even Gary was like,
aren't you excited? I was like, nah, I'm not excited,
it's just preseason whatever. But I found myself getting to
(12:53):
the hotel in Cleveland and get checked in. Not that
you're checked in, you just pick up an envelope with
your name on it with your room key, dumped my
stuff in the room, was going to go down to
get some food and I'd go to the elevator banks.
We're on the eleventh floor and Jim Harbaugh is the
only person standing outside the elevator bank and we had
just gotten into Cleveland this first time I've seen him
since last season. And the team rooms were on level
(13:17):
three and that's where he was going, and he had
pressed the down button on the elevator bank and I
look at him and I go hey, and he goes hey.
I go you're not going to take the stairs? And
he starts looking around like thinking about it, Like I like,
what was I thinking?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I have no idea?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Like the man has new hips, like one, am I
not going to take the stairs? Pansy like what whoa? Whoa?
I mean that's how excited I was, though, you know,
like let's take the stairs, let's go, let's do this.
It's July, we're back.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Just drop and give him twenty while you were there too.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
No, No, I mean when Jim Harbaugh looks at you
like you're insane, Like, maybe it's time to think about
you know, your espress.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Maybe it's time to go back to the whole, like, Hey,
that should have been part of my internal monologue and
not external right, right, Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
We'll work on it this In the meantime, we're going
to take suggestions for the cat.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, if you're listening on the app, just hit that
little talkback.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But doing this against my better.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I love that you're going along with this one.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Well, I'm afraid about what's about to happen if I
don't so.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
But would you rather have like a real cat, right,
the lego cat? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Gary, I would rather have the lego should be embracing
this because the lego cat's not going to look at
me and judge me. So step one is I take
all the things in the bag number one, and then
I pour them out.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
This is a great idea.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Mentioned.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
You can leave us talkbacks on the iHeart app while
you're there. By the way, on the app, you can
add KFI as a preset. You can also add the
Gary Shannon Show podcast as a pre set. At the
top of the hour, we're going to talk about the
latest higher institution of higher learning that is in a
giant PP match with the administration, and it happens to
(15:10):
be U C l A.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
We'll talk about.
Speaker 8 (15:12):
Why Good morning the cat O Joe ojo le Oh
g yeah, where you go ojo oja? People think you're
saying O jay oj but you're not.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I got Legolas les.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Oh like, isn't that a three Musketeer?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I don't know. It's lost us from Oh my gosh,
oh gosh, Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
At it is that.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
A cat in Lord of the Rings?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
No, it's Orlando Bloom's character.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Oh so he's tying in Scott, You're clever. He's tying
in the cat and the conversation.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That's very much. That's next level. Listen, somebody had eight
hours of sleep.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That's that's a good.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
That's a pretty name.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
They go, less, Are you going to watch Lord of
the Rings now?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
No? I just say I just think it might be
in the running as our cat's name.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
We told you.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Earlier this week, former Vice President Kamala Harris said that
she is not going to be running for governor. She
didn't say she wouldn't run for president, but she said
she's not going to be running for governor. And she
gave her first interview last night to the soon to
be departed Stephen Colbert. And listen, these two just sitting
(16:30):
across the table, slobbyurn on each other.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I was just gonna say, but he did ask clean
up on Aisle nine.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
He did ask an interesting question that I thought was
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
We'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
She did say she doesn't want to get back involved
with politics because politics is broken.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Recently, I made the decision that I just for now,
I don't want to go back in the system.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I think it's broken.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
I believe, and I always believed that as fragile as
our demand is, our systems would be strong enough to
defend our most fundamental principles. And I think right now
that they're not as strong as they need to be.
(17:15):
And I just don't want to for now, I don't
want to go back in the system.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
You know she's not wrong when she says the system
is broken. I was recently asking a Democrat that I know,
who do you like for twenty twenty eight? Is it
Gavin is it somebody else? Who do you like? And
the question, and that used to be a normal question
that you would ask ten years ago, twenty years ago,
(17:39):
and the answer was anybody who can win. And that's
where we're at. It's not who you like, Oh, I
like that moderate Democrat out of Michigan because she is
First of all, I don't remember her name. Second of all,
you know, I like what she's going to do for
affordable housing or the environment or whatever there there is.
(18:00):
Youes are you know, they're dedicated to this or that
or the other thing, justice reform or whatever your your
project is that you're into as a Democrat or a
Republican or what have you. It's whoever can beat that
guy is what's going on. And to me, that is
a broken system because shouldn't you be voting for someone
(18:21):
who is the change you want to see? Not to
sound all fluffy, but yes, like you know, you used
to ask democrats what they thought, you know, fifteen years ago,
and it was like, well, I like, you know John
Edwards because of this, or I like Barack Obama because
of that. And now it's I want whoever's going to win.
Forget about what their qualifications are forget about what they're into,
(18:43):
what the message is, what the platform is, just can
they win. That's a desperate place to be for Democrats,
and nothing ever good comes out of operating and desperation.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
That's actually part of why I think Stephen Colby asked her,
who is the leader of the Democratic Party?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Who's leading the Democratic Party? I'm just curious.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
There are lots of leaders, and we're generally a leader
of the Democratic Party, you know, like, oh.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
That's the leader Donative Party? Who comes to mind.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
I think there are a lot of I'm not going
to go through names because then I'm gonna leave somebody
out and then I'm going to.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Hear about it.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
But let me just she's right say this.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I think it is a mistake for us who want
to figure out how to get out and through this
and get out of it, to put it on the
shoulders of any one person. It's really on all of
our shoulders.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Okay, that's a BS response. She should have stuck with
the truth, which was I'm not going to tell you,
I'm not going to name names. You know, I'll be
blown up for weeks over this and just stuck with that,
or say.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I want to be the leader of the party or
something like that. I mean she I think she wanted
the question to be answered quickly and she wanted to
be able to say I am the leader of the
Democratic Party. But she was at least honest when she
said there are a lot of different people. I just
(20:13):
don't think any of them are emerging as leaders up
to this point. But also the final thing that I'll
play from last night's interview was whether or not she
wanted to distance herself from President Biden.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
There were a lot of questions.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
You remember she did that tell tale interview on the
View where she was asked, is there anything that Biden.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Has done that maybe you didn't agree with?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, she couldn't come up with anything, And that was
one of the criticisms was she didn't do anything to
distance herself from that guy.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I was not going to pile on and I just
wasn't going to do that.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
And there was a lot of piling on at that time.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
This is fine, I mean, this is one of those things.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Where there wasn't piling on. Is the problem. There was
no piling on from the Democrats. Everyone lied, Everyone lied,
even though we knew what we were seeing with our
own eyes. If there was one Democrat that came out
and said, and who was it? We spoke to him.
What is Philip? Jean Phillips was the only one who
came out and said, this guy's losing his mind. If
(21:18):
I'm not mistaken, it was only Dean Phillips. There was
no piling on in the Democratic Party, which made me
not trust any of y'all, any of.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
You, which is crazy that she can still see it
that way. Now.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Internally she may have felt like it was piling on,
but externally they circled the wagons and they did nothing
to criticize Joe Biden and wanted to tell everybody that
he was perfectly fine.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Lego cat, Hey.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Guys, that's funny.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
I'm driving the Tahatchepee right now, going home from Livermore.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Livermore. I think you should name the cat in honor
of Chuck Connors.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Chuckingers here, chuckingers.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Oh, chucking hers, write that down, chuckingers, chuckin'ers. Oh this
is difficult, guys. This is harder than it looks. Well,
it is now an eight year old does this?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
It is up? You know, eight and up.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
I know.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I'm just saying up next a very creepy story.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I'm building the mouse right now, the mouse that plays
with the cat. I mean the mouse that the cat
plays with girl.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Girls in a hotel room. See somebody trying to break
into their hotel room.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Oh, I feel bad for whoever that is. Is that
the way the story goes? You mean, did they kill
him or try to?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Because girls can be very, very violent.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Elmer chose nineteen eighty eight for our Flashback Friday year
because the universe told him to do so.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
He was in tune with it. He was whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
He was, firmly planted on his two feet, and he said,
nineteen eighty eight with confidence, with confidence, Morning, Gary, Shannon, Debrah.
I'm also excited about your lego cat. Can't wait to
see the pictures when it's assembled. So my suggestion for
the name is cat Former. Thanks, cat Former, like Transformer,
(23:14):
but cat Former in case you didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Get a cat Former.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, that's why I explained it. Hi, this is Marsha.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I actually have that lego set and it's sitting in
my closet waiting for me to put it together.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Much fun for a name for the cat.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
How about Loki. It's the Marvel character that could shift shape.
So since the cat can turn into other characters, I
think Loki would be a good Loki.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Like hot Brother Yes, okay by Tom Hidleston. Yeah, actually
lovable character. That's very flawed.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I don't know about lovable.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I like him.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
He should give him weird person name like Henry or
Peter or David, you know something along those lines.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Well, Peter, I want something whimsical. Our cat is going
to be whimsical, something with whimsy.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Three Bay Area high school athletes were here in SoCal
for a water polo tournament down in Orange County. They're
at the Marriott Delta Hotel in Garden Grove. One of
the girls wakes up after midnight can't figure out what
woke her at. Some sound woke her up. When she
(24:36):
looked around to find the source of the sound, she
saw a little wire wriggling underneath the door to their room.
So Charlotte, seventeen years old, recorded video of the wire,
which had a loop at one end, moving back and
forth before it wraps around the inside door handle. She
(25:02):
grabs the wire and tries to speak whoever with whoever
was moving the wire on the other side of the
door out in the hallway. She said, Honestly, it was
one of the most scary things that's ever happened to me.
Whoever was someone on the other side of the door
could be heard replying hello, is someone still there?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
What?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Charlotte's mom said she met with a hotel general manager
and was told the incident involved a room check. They
did confirm it was an employee. This is according to Mom.
When I asked if the employee had been terminated, I
was told that he was going to be terminated. The girls,
for all of their fear and fraught, were given a
(25:48):
gift basket and a balloon.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
This is all bizarre from there to finish, isn't it.
Later switched rooms a gift basket at a hotel in
Garden Grove that about.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Charlotte's mother also said, I have no idea. Was it theft,
was it trafficking? I want to know the explanation that
has been provided doesn't add up.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
You. The name of this establishment again.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
The Marriott Delta Hotel.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
It's a Marriott.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Charlotte's mother, the coach, and some other parents filed a
police report with Garden Grove PD. They said they're investigating
to see if this was a crime or some sort
of a misunderstanding.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Looks like a nice place.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Sergeant with the police department said, there is the maintenance
records and things like that, so whatever communication the hotel
has with their staff, the work orders, the detectives are
going to want to look into that a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It's the creepiest thing it's ever happened to you in
a hotel.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Well, there is a couple hot We just stayed in
one of the haunted hotels in Cleveland. It's where the
team always stays when we play in Cleveland, and it's haunted.
It's an old hotel. There's a haunted one and when
they play the Patriots too, and sometimes there are lights
that come on, there are noises. And that is nothing
(26:59):
compared to to the experience that we had in Middleburg Heights, Ohio,
which was the creepiest experience of my life. If you
don't know the story, we went to the RNC ten
years ago and all the hotels were bought up, all
the hotels, so we stayed outside of Cleveland. Gary and
(27:19):
Oscar and I and Ray and I think that's it.
I think John knew a guy or something.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Oh, that's right, they weren't.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
They were not in that hotel. And yeah, John and
Ken were like in some sort of like penthouse somewhere probably,
and we were in like the I called it a
dead hooker hotel because clearly several hookers had died there.
It was the worst of the worst signs of fourth century.
There was matter on the walls, blood spatter, like all
(27:46):
of it. My sink was held up by a two
by four. Like. It was really bad. We're not being dramatic.
It was awful.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Sweet James sent us pillow covers, yeah, to cover the pillow, right,
because they were so nasty.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Now, it's one of those hotels where you don't want
to look at anything for a long period of time
because of what you will discover. You don't want to
look at the ground, you don't want to look at
the sheets. Nothing too hard. You kind of want to
blur your eyes when you're looking around. That said, you
do want light. And it was about three in the morning,
four in the morning something like that when we lost power.
Oh yeah, and already we're in an unsafe environment. I
(28:20):
felt unsafe in there. We're scattered by the way. It's
not like we were next to each other in our rooms,
Like we're on opposite sides of this shole and the
power goes out and it's if I remember correctly, it's raining.
There was storms. It was terrifying. I was terrified. I
think I texted you. Did we have phones? We had phones? Phones, yes,
(28:42):
but like, oh my god, what's going on? And you
were like, we're gonna leave early. And we it was
just like, okay, come glad that I you know, we
had that lifeline. If I was there alone, I would
have been totally terrified.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
You would have run out into the streets, which would
have been.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Bad because there were people. Remember there was a guy
with the gun and a van. Oh yeah, It's like
it was really shady.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
It doesn't get better the more you look back on that, Like, well,
and imagine if if someone what I don't understand about
the hotel, this hotel, this specific incident of a wire
under the door that was then looped around the door handle.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
It's like, you know, I guess if if in an emergency,
someone had to break into a hotel room for a room.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
For a for a a.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Welfare check, right, But they have the key that allows
them to get into the room, do they not? Yeah,
unless for some reason the lock on the outside wasn't
working and they thought that people were aren't.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
There the rules for gaining entry?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Uh, perhaps knock on the door before before you try
to break in, Yeah, just in the off chance that
there is somebody in the room.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
It doesn't make any sense to me. It seems very nefarious.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
There was one time I can't even remember exactly what
the circumstance was. I was given a room, and I
with the key and everything room number, and I go
up to the room and someone's stuff was already there.
It hadn't been unpacked, but obviously there were four or
five suitcases in the room.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Did you go through it?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
No?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
But I remember thinking it was creepy. It was creepy
to me because I thought, how many times has someone coming.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
To my room? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
It's like someone's in your space in yours. It's an
intrusive feeling.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
So if any crazy things have happened in hotels, we'd
love to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
It's also a Friday, which means we're doing what you
learned this week on the Gary and Channon Till you
could see it.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It is not Monday.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
It is not Monday in any place on this planet. Yeah,
but we'll get through this. Dingy.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Look at the ball of yarns coming along. I built this.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
That's bigger than I thought it would be.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Well, there's a lot that went into it, a lot
of yarn. There's a lot of different legos inside of
this you don't even know about. You can't even see them.
The infrastructure is solid, pretty complicated.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
When we come back, UCLA is now in a fight
with the Trump administration. We'll talk about what kind of
money they stand to lose in this fight. 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
