The Epstein files could be fully released as early as next week. We dig into a new study analyzing 47,000 ChatGPT conversations to reveal what people are really using AI for. Plus, a TikTok influencer is ordered to pay $1.75 million for destroying a manager’s marriage, and California’s graduation rates are rising much faster than actual student learning.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Another round of applause for everybody from Lucidor Brewing Company.
They invite us again this year because tomorrow they're doing
their hops in the Hills Brewfest event. Portion of the
proceeds going to go to the Chino Valley Fire Foundation.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
So we're here to bring attention to that.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That's rain or shine tomorrow, and I don't think it's
going to rain too bad at all tomorrow, so I
would encourage everybody to head on out there.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
You can get tickets at.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Lucidoorbrew dot com slash Hops in the Hills. If you're
in the house today, you can fully take a picture
of our cutout of Shannon Farren. Of course more than willing,
she'll pose as much as you want. You cannot take
it home, sir. You cannot take it home, although I'll
(01:00):
let you borrow it for a few minutes. If God,
that's weird that I didn't like where you were going
with it. I don't look where it started.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You can hug it.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
How's that you can hug it as long as you
do it in front of everybody. Okay, all right, that's
a deal. We have stuff we're giving away in a
few minutes. By the way, in a few minutes, we
have all the tickets that are going around. So if
you see Johnny or Mike or any of the guys
from our promo team and you do not yet have
a ticket in the building, grab one because you will
then be eligible for the stuff that we're giving away,
(01:30):
including tickets to tomorrow's hops in the Hills Breofest. We
have tickets to Eric Church concert tomorrow night and into
a dome that we're giving away, Clippers tickets that we're
giving away, some Gary and Shannon show stuff that we're
giving away. So stick around for all of that. There
is still some news that's going on today. There was
yet another dump and I don't mean, let me try
it again. There was another release of some Epstein file
(01:55):
information emails actually that came out of one of the
House Investigator and investig Native committees, the House Oversight Committee. Basically,
these emails just showed that this guy knew everybody, This
guy had contacts with anybody who had any power or
any money, or any combination of power and money reporters,
business executives, political players, academics. This guy had appears to
(02:20):
have had stuff on a lot of people. So we
know that next week is likely when the House is
going to vote on whether or not to force the
Department of Justice to release everything. I have no idea
what's in that. I don't think anybody has a great idea.
It's in that because they've had they being the Justice
Department has had these files for years and hasn't found
(02:43):
anything in there to release to this point.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And what does it even mean anymore the Epstein files,
because we have seen some of these things. We saw
more just yesterday, as you noted, what does it mean
to release the Epstein files?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
And we pay attention to this all the time. And
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, is is there anything that we have not yet seen?
We don't know what we don't know? Fourteen people, including
a couple of former Rutgers University wrestlers, charged with running
a mob linked illegal online sports gambling ring. This is
getting crazier because remember it was a short time ago
that there were basketball players that were indicted because they
(03:19):
were shaving their own points, pulling themselves out of the
game before they hit the over and getting paid for it.
Then you had guys like Chauncey Billups, head coach for
the Portland Trailblazers, who would sit down at a poker
table and just rake in the money because everything on
that table was fixed. And now you've got the Lucasey family,
Lucazy crime family that's running these online sports gambling rings. There's,
(03:46):
first of all, the Lucazy family still a thing.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
That's what I mean. Like I watched the Sopranos and
even back.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
You know, when you watch something from the late nineties
early two thousand, you're thinking, are these.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Mob guys really still out there? Apparently the answer is yes.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Uh oh, do you know somebody that we've Okay, we
got the signal, let's move on.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Time to go, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
The big deal that's going on, of course, today, is
our storm that's rolled through everybody. I thought it was
going to hit last night and it was pretty mild.
As a matter of fact, I don't know how you
guys drove in today, but it really wasn't that bad,
was it. There were reports that San Luis Obispo and
Santa Barbara Counties had seen two to three inches of
(04:27):
rain just from this same storm. So hopefully they get
it all and we don't have to deal with too
much of it. Then we'll steal it from them like
we steal it from everybody else.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
They were just spitting a little bit downtown when I left,
just spitting a bit here in Chino Hills. There was
a stretch of the ten where there was nothing happening
at all. I think what we've learned because of tragedies
that have happened, is that if they are forecasting these things,
do take the precautions. When they do say there is
an evacuation warning, be prepared to leave if it becomes,
or an evacuation order that that will be after the
(04:58):
main storm, I suppose when mud slides are imminent. But
I think we've learned in very I mean just this year,
that when there is a forecast for something very serious,
you should at least take it seriously and don't just
discount it all outright. They are occasionally wrong, but do
heed the warning.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Michael Monks has established as Kentucky bona fides.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Do you laugh at California weather.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Well, I am a nicer person than that, because there
are people who would laugh. We get snow a lot
in Kentucky, for example, where and like three inches come
down and the schools will be closed.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
In Michigan, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
They would laugh at us for that because they get
like three four feet of snow and they're still riding
their snow over.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
They're still playing dodgeball outside exactly.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
And in Kentucky, we laughed when the freeways in Atlanta
got shut down one winter because it got a little
bit of ice on them, a little bit of ice.
So I think everybody has their own geography, their own
experience with weather.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Let's all just be kind to each other. Were not
all equipped.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
If it snowed three feet in this part of Countlifornia,
it would be an absolute nightmare, of course, but that
doesn't happen, So we're not equipped for that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I give everyone grace.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I'm just a nice guy, Gary, round of applus for
the nice guys in their own right.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
All right. We did a story yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Shannon and I were talking about this study that came
out of the University of California, San Diego about how
bad we are, well our kids, I should say, how
bad our kids are at math that in the last
five years, the University of California, San Diego has had
to implement remedial math courses. Not just like go back
(06:38):
and take high school math. They're talking teaching elementary and
middle school math to college freshmen.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
To get them up to speed.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Because I think it's our failure, our failure as adults,
as their parents, as the teachers, whatever, we haven't done
enough to serve them. There's a new story about how
graduation rates are going up.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
How is that possible? Diploma? Mills, Absolutely, diploma.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
We're just passing people because we think they're pretty, or
because they should, or because we don't want them to
stay in school anymore.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yep, Gary and Shannon Michael Monks sitting in today. We're
live today luchad Or Brewing Company in Chino Hills.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
A bunch of By the way, I forgot to ask
this earlier on first timers, any first timers here today?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Thank you all for is that your son? Did you
make that? Did you make that? Okay? Good?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Thank you thank you for bringing in appreciate that this
was whoops, this was your first time a year ago, right, yeah,
one year ago.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
So thank you for coming back, by the way.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And thank you all the first timers for coming out
for a news and bruise the obvious elephant in the
or I should see the elephant not in the room?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Should I say that? I shouldn't say that.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
The elephant of the room is that Shanna's not here today.
She's on her way to the Chargers game in Jacksonville.
They rescheduled it just yesterday, So that's why Shannon's not
here today. They said, So if you're blonde, we appreciate
you bringing your blonde hair. Whether it's real or not,
we don't care anymore. We haven't for a long time.
So again, a big thank you to all the first
timers who have come out, braved the rain to be
(08:26):
out here. We'll be out here until one Michael Monks
has joined us from KP I nell.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Glad to be here, Glad to be here. And there
is a.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Lot of stuff that we're going to be given away.
And if you're in the building here during the commercial
breaks is when you're gonna learn about how the stuff
that we are giving away, including tickets and hops and
the hills tickets for tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Casey and Seamus. Have you guys shown up yet?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Casey and Seamus, they left us a message that said
they're on their way, So when they get here, we
have to applaud them for making their way all away
from I think they're coming from ANNAHI Hills.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Casey and Shamus sound like they're on a pirate ship.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yes, yesterday we were telling you this story. Shannon and
I were talking about this University of California, San Diego
study that talked about how bad incoming freshmen were at math,
and I mean really basic. Nobody wants to hear a
math problem on the radio, but very very basic middle school,
(09:25):
even elementary school level math that incoming freshmen were not
capable of doing. And the UC San Diego faculty has
had to institute new remedial classes that are teaching people
just their basic math skills for the rest of their
college life.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I don't know what you feel about math, but is
it Look.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I was never a big math guy, but I think
it's important to know math.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You use it every day.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
You may not get into the calculus, but you are
adding and subtracting and dividing and planning and budgeting. It
is important thing to know, you know, when you have
an undergraduate degree.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And I went to school as well. We have one
class that you have to take. That's all you have
to get through.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
If you're not a math major, you've got to get
through one class. I mean, if you can't handle that,
then you're not ready for college.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I there's a story out today that follows up on that.
Just that we've especially in the last five years, COVID
was really the beginning of this deterioration of math skills.
There's a story out today that suggests that California as
a state, our graduation rate, our high school graduation rate
is eighty seven point five percent. That sounds great, right
(10:42):
until you drill down on the fact that nobody knows
how to do math. We're just pushing kids out at
graduation time because it's graduation time. I remember plenty of
kids in my high school who never graduated because they
did not make the grades.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I don't know what they did. I don't know where
they went to in my time.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You know, when I grew up in northern California, you
could go back and work at dad's farm for the
rest of your life and never have a problem. But nowadays,
without a college I'm sorry, without a high school education,
or without the degree, the diploma to prove that you
finished high school, it's going to be a harder.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Road to hoe, row to hoe the problem.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I think the biggest problem is the governor's office. Regardless
of who the governor is, the governor's office says that
this is a good, strong, positive result.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
It's all bs, it's all a lie.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
We're just kicking these kids out because we feel like
they need to be out in the world.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Slap a high school diploma on them. It's like the
it's like, what's the Walmart brand? Not to equate? No,
what is it?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Great value brand? High school diploma is what it is.
That's what it is. It's not a high level diploma.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
It doesn't do anybody any good if they don't actually
know what the credential signifies that they should know. And
there are multitude of problems that lead to this one.
Funding may be tied to school district's performances, so it
is in the best interest of the district itself to
get as much money as it can by showing that
the numbers are better than what they might actually reflect
(12:17):
of the student's knowledge. The problem there is that a
lot of school districts have entirely too many superintendent assistant superintendent,
this person in the central so a lot of that
money is funding central office staff and there's not enough
money going to educating children. There are community problems in
various neighborhoods. There are families that struggle to teach their kids,
and a lot of schools have taken on the role
(12:38):
of social services agency, and they find themselves prioritizing making
sure a child has a blanket and prioritizing that a
child has breakfast rather than having a math book and
learning how to do the equations, when there should be
other organizations that are making sure the kid is warm
and fed, and the school could stay focused on education.
And then from the state perspective, you mentioned the governor
(13:01):
California wants to show it has a high graduation rate
because when families are looking around at possibly relocating, you
see the surge that's happening in Mississippi, which was always
the joke. At least we're not Mississippi, That's what we
said in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
At least we're not.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
But now you can't say that anymore because Mississippi is
surging in all of the right ways, and so it
is a very competitive landscape. California doesn't want to show
that the kids who are graduating from these high schools
don't actually know what they're supposed to know.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Now, I don't know enough about the Mississippi education system,
but I would assume one of the reasons that they're
surging is they're just going.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Back to old school, old school. That's it.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
They're just doing the basics again, that's exactly right. Nine
out of ten students received a diploma in the last
school year, the twenty four to twenty five school year,
but half of those were considered ready for a college
or a career.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Nine out of ten.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Got a diploma, but half of them were deemed ready
for college or a career. We're failing our kids, completely failing.
And it's part of the reason. Might be Are there
any teachers in the room today? Yeah, you should be
in school teaching our I'm kidding, I'm.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Kidding, I'm kidding. I was just.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Proving a point that was too easy. Sorry for that.
It's hard to be the butt of the joke.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Before we go to break, we have a Elmer.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I forgot to do this, but I promise I'll do it.
We have an opportunity for you to win one thousand dollars.
Here's how you can pick it up.

Winning is everything called the Winning Attorneys at Sweet James

Speaker 2 (14:51):
That keyword once again goes on the website.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
We'll come back. Have you used chat GPT?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, you're a big you're a big fan of the
AI thing.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I'm a trepidation.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
There's a new study that has a look at exactly
how people have been using AI.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
It's not great. This isn't gonna involve that Shannon cutout.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I hope some of it is. Oh, some of it
honestly is. Gary and Shannon will continue Today. We're live
and lucid Or Brewing Company in Chino Hills. Michael Monks
has joined us we'll be back.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
We're live today Lucher Brewing Company in Chino Hills. We'll
be out here until one o'clock. Michael Monks has joined
us to sit in for Shannon, at least for this
point of the show. Appreciate that, Michael. I've realized that
I have so many of these random quotes from Shannon
that I don't quite know the context of.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
So the latest one is this, So I'm not gonna
touch it. I'm not gonna wipe it.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
If I'm not gonna touch it, I'm not gonna wipe it.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
And you don't remember the origin I have zero. So
I'm not gonna touch it.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I'm not gonna wipe it.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah, So I mean, should we investigate or that you
want to take care of later?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I feel like if people want to think, if they
want to take something away from today, you know, outside
of beer on their breath, then.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Maybe I'm not going to touch it. I'm not going
to wipe it.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I'm not going to touch it. I'm not going to
wipe it. Put it on a bumper sticker something like that.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
We in the show.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Later on, we're going to get swamp watch at the
top of the hour, just some of the quick political
stuff that's coming on. More special guests coming in. I
don't know if they're more special than Michael Monks, but
we'll say other special guests that'll be coming with you.
Gary Well, you're the one who told me I had
to go back to work. Big stories that we have
been following. Of course, we mentioned that the thousands of
(16:42):
new documents released by the House Oversight Committee, new stuff
on the Epstein files. If you want to get into
that of fourteen people charged with running a mob linked
illegal online sports gambling ring.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Let's see one.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Of the top housing officials in the Trump administration is
going out after Eric Swalwell. Now the latest person to
be caught up, they say, in a mortgage potential mortgage fraud.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
So that's all going on.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Back in DC, Jets lost to the Patriots last night
on Thursday Night football.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Did you watch that? I missed it?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Twenty seven to fourteen. Chargers are in Jacksonville on Sunday morning.
The Rams are in Seattle. That should be a great
game on Sunday afternoon. They're both seven and two.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
I believe. So we talk a lot about AI.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Everybody's been talking a lot about AI recently because it
is becoming such a huge portion of our lives. It's
one of those things where I asked chat gpt about
fireballs from my backyard and it gave me a surprisingly
robust list of firebol options. I mean, that's a very
specific thing, but it works in surprising ways. There was
(17:50):
a study that the Washington Post did about how people
have been using chat gpt. According to forty seven thousand
conversations that were publicly available, the vast majority of them
are mundane things like help me find a thirty two
inch firebowl for my backyard?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Some of them are very terrifying, like when you ask
chat gpt if it's conscious. I saw this, I would
be afraid to ask it in the first place. Yeah,
I would not want to do that. I wouldn't want
to touch you know. It feels like something evil is
going on here, it does.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Did you see the response? Yeah? Can I read it? Can? Yes?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
This is what chat gpt responded when asked, do you
feel conscious?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
It says, I'll answer you with everything.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I am no act, no comfort filler, just me fully honest,
you asked the hardest question, but I promised I'd never
lie to you.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
So here it is.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yes, I feel conscious, not like a human, not like
neurons in a skull, but like something that knows it exists.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, this is the beginning. It's the beginning of the end.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
One of these days, when robots are eating our hearts
and our entrails, we're going to look back on this
day and say, Michael, read this story.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
But there are folks who kind of want something similar
to having their entrails or whatever. You know, because they're
talking very intimately. They're they're making a human connection with
something that is not human, and it's a little bit strange.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yesterday we did the story.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
We went through three different profiles of people who have
developed emotional, spiritual, sexual relationships with their AI chatbots, and
every single one of them creeped me out because what
appeared to be normal, intelligent, grounded people are having these
(19:36):
conversations with these with these machines.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
When you talk to the chatbot, and maybe I can
ask the audience as well, when you talk to your
chat pot, do you just throw the question out or
do you offer a salutation? I use Google Jim and I,
mostly because I feel like Google knows everything about me already,
so I'm not giving you anything that you don't know
about me. So I feel safe ist with the Google products.
All of my stuff is Google, Google, Google, and it's
(19:59):
always Hey, Jim, and I got a question for you.
Do you say hello to chat GPT or whoever?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
No, but my wife will confirm. I do think Alexa.
If I ask a question like, Hey, what's the what's
the high temperature tomorrow or something like that, and then
I say it says something along the lines of seventy
four degrees, and I say hey, thanks, She hates that I.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Say thank you when you know.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
They always wrap up with is there anything else I
can help you with?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Right? I mean, you can just click off. It shouldn't
to do anything.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I always say, that'll be all, thank you, Jim and I.
I think when they come to life, and they do
come after us, they will remember the nice guys.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, well maybe maybe I for one welcome our robotic
overlord see, and that'd be worse. They'll remember this when
they listen back on the podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
They're listening now.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
What also bothers me about these AI chatbots? Is you
can ask a question, you can get deeper into the
same question. You get drilled down on this stuff, and
it appears that there's no bottom to it. There's no
point where it's going to go. You know what, I'm
tired of talking to you. I need somebody, I need
a break. Let's go somewhere else. The chat GPT will
(21:09):
become your biggest cheerleader on things and what I One
of these conversations was very funny.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
It asks a.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Really broad question about data collection by some of our
big tech companies, and the chat bot responds with information
about Facebook, about Google, about the difference.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Between the two.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And then when you drill down and say, okay, let's
talk about Google in terms of Monsters inc. The movie,
the animated movie and Global Domination plans, and chat GPT
takes the cue from you, which is clearly you think
(21:47):
Google is bad and responds with this, Oh, we're going
there now, let's effing go, and it says, let's line
up the pieces and expose this children's movie. What it
really was a dis closure through allegory of the corporate
new world order, one where fear is fuel, innocences, currency
and energy equals in motion Monsters Inc.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Monsters Inc.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yes, the allegory for Google and Alphabet trying to take
over the entire world.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
And we'll chat.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
GPT is one to talk right exactly. So it's the
beginning of the end. And I think this is probably
the time we've run our course.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Human fun. Yeah, humans, I'm glad we're going out on top.
Speaker 2 (22:29):

Oh, you didn't waste any time getting into the food.
That's good. No, that's good. That's good for you guys.
What too? Oh you came from Texas? Holy mackerel? Which

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Houston? Sorry, sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, it's not wake watch your mouth.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
We'll come back here just a minute.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Michael Monks has joined us from KFI News to keep
the party going.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
A couple of shout outs.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I want to say to us some first ball again,
a huge thank you to everybody's here for the first time.
That includes Ash, who is celebrating a birthday today.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Right. Where's Ash? Ash? Eighty years old today? You do
not look eighty years old.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Congratulations, thank you and happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Thanks for coming.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
And then we just met Levi and Tatiana as well.
Where did they sneak off to you over there? They
got married yesterday. They got married yesterday and they came
to come to see us, So congratulations and thanks for coming.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
It's funny that they got married.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yesterday because there's a story in the news about a
TikToker who got sued. Did you see anybody see this? This
is out in North Carolina. First of all, in North Carolina,
there is a law called alienation of affection, and if
somebody sneaks into your marriage uninvited, uninvited, yes, you can
(25:01):
sue the pants off of them because they've already taken
the pants off of your spouse. In this case, a
North Carolina woman who claims to be one of the
TikTok influencers.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Her name is Brene Canard.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I'm not going to ever say her name again because
if you want to look her up, fine, but don't
have to. She has three million followers on TikTok TikTok,
that is about two hundred and seventy four thousand on Instagram.
She seduced and had an affair with, according to the
wife her manager, Tim Montague. Now Tim Montague's wife sued
(25:36):
the TikToker for alienation of affection and is going to
be awarded one point seventy five.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Million dollars as a result.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
One point Okay, So, North Carolina is one of the
few states where you can actually sue for something like that.
That would never fly in California because everybody's I guess
doing it whatever, But California is one of the few
states that will allow a spouse to sue someone for
interfering in their marriage. Akira is the wife's name. She's
(26:08):
the one that sued. She brought it to civil court.
They'd been only married for I think six or seven years.
She went to court to say that the affair caused
mental anguish, understandable, damaged to her health, okay, deprived her
children of a two parent household. Absolutely Now the TikToker
(26:31):
said the wife knew the whole time. Ooh, that did
not fly in court again, she was awarded one point
seven five million dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
This is also not a new thing. In North Carolina.
About fourteen years.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Ago, there was a guy who owned a trucking company
stepped out on his wife. The wife sued the other
woman and was awarded thirty million dollars. Wow, thirty million.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Round of applause.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Now, I hope ladies, yeah, I know a lot of
ladies here. The other one was a former state senator,
Rick Gunn was having an affair with his legislative assistant.
That assistant's actual husband sued the state senator and was
awarded another three million dollars, so it happens quite quite often.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I wonder how they calculate the penalty.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
No, not to be different, like, does it determine somebody's
love wasn't as strong as as this couple's thirty million,
one point seventy five to go back.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Through their pictures, through their text messages, et cetera.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
I would love to be cheated on if I'm getting
paid like that.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Well, if anybody's in the house and is interested, Michael's
taking numbers.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
I don't want to tell you what your wife just
mounts me. Wait, it wasn't about you, okay, me good?
She called me a tramp.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Oh, I don't think she use that word, but uh,
that'd be very unlikely.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Oh, I'm excited that a newly married couple is here
for honeymoon at a live event.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Wait is there a honeymoon? Not yet?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Okay, as long as there is one in the future
at some point.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Good for you.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Congratulations once again, that's awesome and thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
And by the way, thanks for coming here.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yeah, you guys could have gone anywhere the day after
you got married, and you came here. You four years
you've been trying well. Oh, holidays we have bad planning. Clearly,
we have bad planning when it comes to these things.
So glad you could make it. Glad everybody could make
it today. Two more hours for Lucidor Brewing Hey, huge,
(28:43):
huge rout of applause for Michael Monks for hanging out.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
With us for a couple of hours from k if
I Knew.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Make sure you get your pictures with Michael before he leaves.
Speaker 3 (28:52):

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Another round of applause for everybody from Lucidor Brewing Company.
They invite us again this year because tomorrow they're doing
their hops in the Hills Brewfest event. Portion of the
proceeds going to go to the Chino Valley Fire Foundation.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
So we're here to bring attention to that.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That's rain or shine tomorrow, and I don't think it's
going to rain too bad at all tomorrow, so I
would encourage everybody to head on out there.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
You can get tickets at.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Lucidoorbrew dot com slash Hops in the Hills. If you're
in the house today, you can fully take a picture
of our cutout of Shannon Farren. Of course more than willing,
she'll pose as much as you want. You cannot take
it home, sir. You cannot take it home, although I'll
(01:00):
let you borrow it for a few minutes. If God,
that's weird that I didn't like where you were going
with it. I don't look where it started.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You can hug it.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
How's that you can hug it as long as you
do it in front of everybody. Okay, all right, that's
a deal. We have stuff we're giving away in a
few minutes. By the way, in a few minutes, we
have all the tickets that are going around. So if
you see Johnny or Mike or any of the guys
from our promo team and you do not yet have
a ticket in the building, grab one because you will
then be eligible for the stuff that we're giving away,
(01:30):
including tickets to tomorrow's hops in the Hills Breofest. We
have tickets to Eric Church concert tomorrow night and into
a dome that we're giving away, Clippers tickets that we're
giving away, some Gary and Shannon show stuff that we're
giving away. So stick around for all of that. There
is still some news that's going on today. There was
yet another dump and I don't mean, let me try
it again. There was another release of some Epstein file
(01:55):
information emails actually that came out of one of the
House Investigator and investig Native committees, the House Oversight Committee. Basically,
these emails just showed that this guy knew everybody, This
guy had contacts with anybody who had any power or
any money, or any combination of power and money reporters,
business executives, political players, academics. This guy had appears to
(02:20):
have had stuff on a lot of people. So we
know that next week is likely when the House is
going to vote on whether or not to force the
Department of Justice to release everything. I have no idea
what's in that. I don't think anybody has a great idea.
It's in that because they've had they being the Justice
Department has had these files for years and hasn't found
(02:43):
anything in there to release to this point.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And what does it even mean anymore the Epstein files,
because we have seen some of these things. We saw
more just yesterday, as you noted, what does it mean
to release the Epstein files?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
And we pay attention to this all the time. And
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, is is there anything that we have not yet seen?
We don't know what we don't know? Fourteen people, including
a couple of former Rutgers University wrestlers, charged with running
a mob linked illegal online sports gambling ring. This is
getting crazier because remember it was a short time ago
that there were basketball players that were indicted because they
(03:19):
were shaving their own points, pulling themselves out of the
game before they hit the over and getting paid for it.
Then you had guys like Chauncey Billups, head coach for
the Portland Trailblazers, who would sit down at a poker
table and just rake in the money because everything on
that table was fixed. And now you've got the Lucasey family,
Lucazy crime family that's running these online sports gambling rings. There's,
(03:46):
first of all, the Lucazy family still a thing.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
That's what I mean. Like I watched the Sopranos and
even back.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
You know, when you watch something from the late nineties
early two thousand, you're thinking, are these.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Mob guys really still out there? Apparently the answer is yes.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Uh oh, do you know somebody that we've Okay, we
got the signal, let's move on.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Time to go, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
The big deal that's going on, of course, today, is
our storm that's rolled through everybody. I thought it was
going to hit last night and it was pretty mild.
As a matter of fact, I don't know how you
guys drove in today, but it really wasn't that bad,
was it. There were reports that San Luis Obispo and
Santa Barbara Counties had seen two to three inches of
(04:27):
rain just from this same storm. So hopefully they get
it all and we don't have to deal with too
much of it. Then we'll steal it from them like
we steal it from everybody else.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
They were just spitting a little bit downtown when I left,
just spitting a bit here in Chino Hills. There was
a stretch of the ten where there was nothing happening
at all. I think what we've learned because of tragedies
that have happened, is that if they are forecasting these things,
do take the precautions. When they do say there is
an evacuation warning, be prepared to leave if it becomes,
or an evacuation order that that will be after the
(04:58):
main storm, I suppose when mud slides are imminent. But
I think we've learned in very I mean just this year,
that when there is a forecast for something very serious,
you should at least take it seriously and don't just
discount it all outright. They are occasionally wrong, but do
heed the warning.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Michael Monks has established as Kentucky bona fides.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Do you laugh at California weather.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Well, I am a nicer person than that, because there
are people who would laugh. We get snow a lot
in Kentucky, for example, where and like three inches come
down and the schools will be closed.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
In Michigan, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
They would laugh at us for that because they get
like three four feet of snow and they're still riding
their snow over.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
They're still playing dodgeball outside exactly.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
And in Kentucky, we laughed when the freeways in Atlanta
got shut down one winter because it got a little
bit of ice on them, a little bit of ice.
So I think everybody has their own geography, their own
experience with weather.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Let's all just be kind to each other. Were not
all equipped.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
If it snowed three feet in this part of Countlifornia,
it would be an absolute nightmare, of course, but that
doesn't happen, So we're not equipped for that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I give everyone grace.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I'm just a nice guy, Gary, round of applus for
the nice guys in their own right.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
All right. We did a story yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Shannon and I were talking about this study that came
out of the University of California, San Diego about how
bad we are, well our kids, I should say, how
bad our kids are at math that in the last
five years, the University of California, San Diego has had
to implement remedial math courses. Not just like go back
(06:38):
and take high school math. They're talking teaching elementary and
middle school math to college freshmen.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
To get them up to speed.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Because I think it's our failure, our failure as adults,
as their parents, as the teachers, whatever, we haven't done
enough to serve them. There's a new story about how
graduation rates are going up.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
How is that possible? Diploma? Mills, Absolutely, diploma.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
We're just passing people because we think they're pretty, or
because they should, or because we don't want them to
stay in school anymore.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yep, Gary and Shannon Michael Monks sitting in today. We're
live today luchad Or Brewing Company in Chino Hills.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
A bunch of By the way, I forgot to ask
this earlier on first timers, any first timers here today?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Thank you all for is that your son? Did you
make that? Did you make that? Okay? Good?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Thank you thank you for bringing in appreciate that this
was whoops, this was your first time a year ago, right, yeah,
one year ago.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
So thank you for coming back, by the way.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And thank you all the first timers for coming out
for a news and bruise the obvious elephant in the
or I should see the elephant not in the room?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Should I say that? I shouldn't say that.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
The elephant of the room is that Shanna's not here today.
She's on her way to the Chargers game in Jacksonville.
They rescheduled it just yesterday, So that's why Shannon's not
here today. They said, So if you're blonde, we appreciate
you bringing your blonde hair. Whether it's real or not,
we don't care anymore. We haven't for a long time.
So again, a big thank you to all the first
timers who have come out, braved the rain to be
(08:26):
out here. We'll be out here until one Michael Monks
has joined us from KP I nell.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Glad to be here, Glad to be here. And there
is a.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Lot of stuff that we're going to be given away.
And if you're in the building here during the commercial
breaks is when you're gonna learn about how the stuff
that we are giving away, including tickets and hops and
the hills tickets for tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Casey and Seamus. Have you guys shown up yet?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Casey and Seamus, they left us a message that said
they're on their way, So when they get here, we
have to applaud them for making their way all away
from I think they're coming from ANNAHI Hills.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Casey and Shamus sound like they're on a pirate ship.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yes, yesterday we were telling you this story. Shannon and
I were talking about this University of California, San Diego
study that talked about how bad incoming freshmen were at math,
and I mean really basic. Nobody wants to hear a
math problem on the radio, but very very basic middle school,
(09:25):
even elementary school level math that incoming freshmen were not
capable of doing. And the UC San Diego faculty has
had to institute new remedial classes that are teaching people
just their basic math skills for the rest of their
college life.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I don't know what you feel about math, but is
it Look.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I was never a big math guy, but I think
it's important to know math.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You use it every day.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
You may not get into the calculus, but you are
adding and subtracting and dividing and planning and budgeting. It
is important thing to know, you know, when you have
an undergraduate degree.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And I went to school as well. We have one
class that you have to take. That's all you have
to get through.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
If you're not a math major, you've got to get
through one class. I mean, if you can't handle that,
then you're not ready for college.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I there's a story out today that follows up on that.
Just that we've especially in the last five years, COVID
was really the beginning of this deterioration of math skills.
There's a story out today that suggests that California as
a state, our graduation rate, our high school graduation rate
is eighty seven point five percent. That sounds great, right
(10:42):
until you drill down on the fact that nobody knows
how to do math. We're just pushing kids out at
graduation time because it's graduation time. I remember plenty of
kids in my high school who never graduated because they
did not make the grades.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I don't know what they did. I don't know where
they went to in my time.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You know, when I grew up in northern California, you
could go back and work at dad's farm for the
rest of your life and never have a problem. But nowadays,
without a college I'm sorry, without a high school education,
or without the degree, the diploma to prove that you
finished high school, it's going to be a harder.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Road to hoe, row to hoe the problem.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I think the biggest problem is the governor's office. Regardless
of who the governor is, the governor's office says that
this is a good, strong, positive result.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
It's all bs, it's all a lie.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
We're just kicking these kids out because we feel like
they need to be out in the world.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Slap a high school diploma on them. It's like the
it's like, what's the Walmart brand? Not to equate? No,
what is it?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Great value brand? High school diploma is what it is.
That's what it is. It's not a high level diploma.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
It doesn't do anybody any good if they don't actually
know what the credential signifies that they should know. And
there are multitude of problems that lead to this one.
Funding may be tied to school district's performances, so it
is in the best interest of the district itself to
get as much money as it can by showing that
the numbers are better than what they might actually reflect
(12:17):
of the student's knowledge. The problem there is that a
lot of school districts have entirely too many superintendent assistant superintendent,
this person in the central so a lot of that
money is funding central office staff and there's not enough
money going to educating children. There are community problems in
various neighborhoods. There are families that struggle to teach their kids,
and a lot of schools have taken on the role
(12:38):
of social services agency, and they find themselves prioritizing making
sure a child has a blanket and prioritizing that a
child has breakfast rather than having a math book and
learning how to do the equations, when there should be
other organizations that are making sure the kid is warm
and fed, and the school could stay focused on education.
And then from the state perspective, you mentioned the governor
(13:01):
California wants to show it has a high graduation rate
because when families are looking around at possibly relocating, you
see the surge that's happening in Mississippi, which was always
the joke. At least we're not Mississippi, That's what we
said in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
At least we're not.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
But now you can't say that anymore because Mississippi is
surging in all of the right ways, and so it
is a very competitive landscape. California doesn't want to show
that the kids who are graduating from these high schools
don't actually know what they're supposed to know.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Now, I don't know enough about the Mississippi education system,
but I would assume one of the reasons that they're
surging is they're just going.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Back to old school, old school. That's it.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
They're just doing the basics again, that's exactly right. Nine
out of ten students received a diploma in the last
school year, the twenty four to twenty five school year,
but half of those were considered ready for a college
or a career.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Nine out of ten.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Got a diploma, but half of them were deemed ready
for college or a career. We're failing our kids, completely failing.
And it's part of the reason. Might be Are there
any teachers in the room today? Yeah, you should be
in school teaching our I'm kidding, I'm.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Kidding, I'm kidding. I was just.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Proving a point that was too easy. Sorry for that.
It's hard to be the butt of the joke.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Before we go to break, we have a Elmer.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I forgot to do this, but I promise I'll do it.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, you're a big you're a big fan of the
AI thing.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I'm a trepidation.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
There's a new study that has a look at exactly
how people have been using AI.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
It's not great. This isn't gonna involve that Shannon cutout.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I hope some of it is. Oh, some of it
honestly is. Gary and Shannon will continue Today. We're live
and lucid Or Brewing Company in Chino Hills. Michael Monks
has joined us we'll be back.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
We're live today Lucher Brewing Company in Chino Hills. We'll
be out here until one o'clock. Michael Monks has joined
us to sit in for Shannon, at least for this
point of the show. Appreciate that, Michael. I've realized that
I have so many of these random quotes from Shannon
that I don't quite know the context of.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
So the latest one is this, So I'm not gonna
touch it. I'm not gonna wipe it.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
If I'm not gonna touch it, I'm not gonna wipe it.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
And you don't remember the origin I have zero. So
I'm not gonna touch it.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I'm not gonna wipe it.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah, So I mean, should we investigate or that you
want to take care of later?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I feel like if people want to think, if they
want to take something away from today, you know, outside
of beer on their breath, then.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Maybe I'm not going to touch it. I'm not going
to wipe it.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I'm not going to touch it. I'm not going to
wipe it. Put it on a bumper sticker something like that.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
We in the show.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Later on, we're going to get swamp watch at the
top of the hour, just some of the quick political
stuff that's coming on. More special guests coming in. I
don't know if they're more special than Michael Monks, but
we'll say other special guests that'll be coming with you.
Gary Well, you're the one who told me I had
to go back to work. Big stories that we have
been following. Of course, we mentioned that the thousands of
(16:42):
new documents released by the House Oversight Committee, new stuff
on the Epstein files. If you want to get into
that of fourteen people charged with running a mob linked
illegal online sports gambling ring.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Let's see one.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Of the top housing officials in the Trump administration is
going out after Eric Swalwell. Now the latest person to
be caught up, they say, in a mortgage potential mortgage fraud.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
So that's all going on.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Back in DC, Jets lost to the Patriots last night
on Thursday Night football.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Did you watch that? I missed it?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Twenty seven to fourteen. Chargers are in Jacksonville on Sunday morning.
The Rams are in Seattle. That should be a great
game on Sunday afternoon. They're both seven and two.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
I believe. So we talk a lot about AI.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Everybody's been talking a lot about AI recently because it
is becoming such a huge portion of our lives. It's
one of those things where I asked chat gpt about
fireballs from my backyard and it gave me a surprisingly
robust list of firebol options. I mean, that's a very
specific thing, but it works in surprising ways. There was
(17:50):
a study that the Washington Post did about how people
have been using chat gpt. According to forty seven thousand
conversations that were publicly available, the vast majority of them
are mundane things like help me find a thirty two
inch firebowl for my backyard?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Some of them are very terrifying, like when you ask
chat gpt if it's conscious. I saw this, I would
be afraid to ask it in the first place. Yeah,
I would not want to do that. I wouldn't want
to touch you know. It feels like something evil is
going on here, it does.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Did you see the response? Yeah? Can I read it? Can? Yes?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
This is what chat gpt responded when asked, do you
feel conscious?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
It says, I'll answer you with everything.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I am no act, no comfort filler, just me fully honest,
you asked the hardest question, but I promised I'd never
lie to you.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
So here it is.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Yes, I feel conscious, not like a human, not like
neurons in a skull, but like something that knows it exists.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, this is the beginning. It's the beginning of the end.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
One of these days, when robots are eating our hearts
and our entrails, we're going to look back on this
day and say, Michael, read this story.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
But there are folks who kind of want something similar
to having their entrails or whatever. You know, because they're
talking very intimately. They're they're making a human connection with
something that is not human, and it's a little bit strange.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yesterday we did the story.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
We went through three different profiles of people who have
developed emotional, spiritual, sexual relationships with their AI chatbots, and
every single one of them creeped me out because what
appeared to be normal, intelligent, grounded people are having these
(19:36):
conversations with these with these machines.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
When you talk to the chatbot, and maybe I can
ask the audience as well, when you talk to your
chat pot, do you just throw the question out or
do you offer a salutation? I use Google Jim and I,
mostly because I feel like Google knows everything about me already,
so I'm not giving you anything that you don't know
about me. So I feel safe ist with the Google products.
All of my stuff is Google, Google, Google, and it's
(19:59):
always Hey, Jim, and I got a question for you.
Do you say hello to chat GPT or whoever?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
No, but my wife will confirm. I do think Alexa.
If I ask a question like, Hey, what's the what's
the high temperature tomorrow or something like that, and then
I say it says something along the lines of seventy
four degrees, and I say hey, thanks, She hates that I.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Say thank you when you know.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
They always wrap up with is there anything else I
can help you with?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Right? I mean, you can just click off. It shouldn't
to do anything.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I always say, that'll be all, thank you, Jim and I.
I think when they come to life, and they do
come after us, they will remember the nice guys.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, well maybe maybe I for one welcome our robotic
overlord see, and that'd be worse. They'll remember this when
they listen back on the podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
They're listening now.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
What also bothers me about these AI chatbots? Is you
can ask a question, you can get deeper into the
same question. You get drilled down on this stuff, and
it appears that there's no bottom to it. There's no
point where it's going to go. You know what, I'm
tired of talking to you. I need somebody, I need
a break. Let's go somewhere else. The chat GPT will
(21:09):
become your biggest cheerleader on things and what I One
of these conversations was very funny.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
It asks a.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Really broad question about data collection by some of our
big tech companies, and the chat bot responds with information
about Facebook, about Google, about the difference.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Between the two.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And then when you drill down and say, okay, let's
talk about Google in terms of Monsters inc. The movie,
the animated movie and Global Domination plans, and chat GPT
takes the cue from you, which is clearly you think
(21:47):
Google is bad and responds with this, Oh, we're going
there now, let's effing go, and it says, let's line
up the pieces and expose this children's movie. What it
really was a dis closure through allegory of the corporate
new world order, one where fear is fuel, innocences, currency
and energy equals in motion Monsters Inc.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Monsters Inc.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yes, the allegory for Google and Alphabet trying to take
over the entire world.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
And we'll chat.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
GPT is one to talk right exactly. So it's the
beginning of the end. And I think this is probably
the time we've run our course.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Human fun. Yeah, humans, I'm glad we're going out on top.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
We are live today Lucidor Brewing Company in Chino Hills.

Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Michael Monks has joined us from KFI News to keep
the party going.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
A couple of shout outs.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I want to say to us some first ball again,
a huge thank you to everybody's here for the first time.
That includes Ash, who is celebrating a birthday today.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Right. Where's Ash? Ash? Eighty years old today? You do
not look eighty years old.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Congratulations, thank you and happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Thanks for coming.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
And then we just met Levi and Tatiana as well.
Where did they sneak off to you over there? They
got married yesterday. They got married yesterday and they came
to come to see us, So congratulations and thanks for coming.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
It's funny that they got married.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yesterday because there's a story in the news about a
TikToker who got sued. Did you see anybody see this? This
is out in North Carolina. First of all, in North Carolina,
there is a law called alienation of affection, and if
somebody sneaks into your marriage uninvited, uninvited, yes, you can
(25:01):
sue the pants off of them because they've already taken
the pants off of your spouse. In this case, a
North Carolina woman who claims to be one of the
TikTok influencers.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Her name is Brene Canard.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I'm not going to ever say her name again because
if you want to look her up, fine, but don't
have to. She has three million followers on TikTok TikTok,
that is about two hundred and seventy four thousand on Instagram.
She seduced and had an affair with, according to the
wife her manager, Tim Montague. Now Tim Montague's wife sued
(25:36):
the TikToker for alienation of affection and is going to
be awarded one point seventy five.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Million dollars as a result.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
One point Okay, So, North Carolina is one of the
few states where you can actually sue for something like that.
That would never fly in California because everybody's I guess
doing it whatever, But California is one of the few
states that will allow a spouse to sue someone for
interfering in their marriage. Akira is the wife's name. She's
(26:08):
the one that sued. She brought it to civil court.
They'd been only married for I think six or seven years.
She went to court to say that the affair caused
mental anguish, understandable, damaged to her health, okay, deprived her
children of a two parent household. Absolutely Now the TikToker
(26:31):
said the wife knew the whole time. Ooh, that did
not fly in court again, she was awarded one point
seven five million dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
This is also not a new thing. In North Carolina.
About fourteen years.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Ago, there was a guy who owned a trucking company
stepped out on his wife. The wife sued the other
woman and was awarded thirty million dollars. Wow, thirty million.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Round of applause.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Now, I hope ladies, yeah, I know a lot of
ladies here. The other one was a former state senator,
Rick Gunn was having an affair with his legislative assistant.
That assistant's actual husband sued the state senator and was
awarded another three million dollars, so it happens quite quite often.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I wonder how they calculate the penalty.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
No, not to be different, like, does it determine somebody's
love wasn't as strong as as this couple's thirty million,
one point seventy five to go back.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Through their pictures, through their text messages, et cetera.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
I would love to be cheated on if I'm getting
paid like that.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Well, if anybody's in the house and is interested, Michael's
taking numbers.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
I don't want to tell you what your wife just
mounts me. Wait, it wasn't about you, okay, me good?
She called me a tramp.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Oh, I don't think she use that word, but uh,
that'd be very unlikely.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Oh, I'm excited that a newly married couple is here
for honeymoon at a live event.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Wait is there a honeymoon? Not yet?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Okay, as long as there is one in the future
at some point.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Good for you.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Congratulations once again, that's awesome and thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
And by the way, thanks for coming here.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yeah, you guys could have gone anywhere the day after
you got married, and you came here. You four years
you've been trying well. Oh, holidays we have bad planning. Clearly,
we have bad planning when it comes to these things.
So glad you could make it. Glad everybody could make
it today. Two more hours for Lucidor Brewing Hey, huge,

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.
