The FBI has been conducting lie detector tests as part of their ongoing investigations to ensure the accuracy of testimonies. Recently, a significant power outage affected Europe, leading to disruptions in daily activities, and not sure why it happened. Additionally, KFI radio host Michael Monks has been discussing the implications of recent labor strikes in Los Angeles, which have had a considerable impact on various industries. In a surprising turn of events, there seems to be a resurgence in the popularity of CDs and DVDs, with many consumers returning to physical media for entertainment.

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 (00:07):
A little bit later, of course, are True Crime Tuesday.
Michael Monks is going to join us. Thousands of people
working for LA County are now striking. They are walking
picket lines and a big demonstration going on downtown. So
we'll talk with him about the latest. Fifty five thousand
LA County workers currently on streting.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Apparently, traffic this morning downtown is a nightmare with people
walking off the job. There you're on TikTok. Have you
gotten involved with the enema trend? Well, let me I'll
just say this, it was an interesting morning. Really, I
thought you looked extra special fresh this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
No.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
But we start with the FBI. This was the headline
that the FBI is using polygraphs, and I thought, okay,
it's the FBI. Who else uses lie detector tests more
than the f BI?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
This is not entirely unusual.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Intelligent and intelligence agencies often use light detector polygraph tests
in order to make sure that people are, you know,
on the up and up and not spying for some
other country.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well, they say that these in particular, these polygraph text
tests in particular, are to find out who is leaking
information to the press.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
So they're using it on their own.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
They say that in some cases they're using polygraph tests
that current and former officials say are creating a climate
of fear and intimidation.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, listen, this is not the movies. And a lie
detector test is not a lie detector test in the
traditional sense that you would think of. A polygraph measures
your stress. And if the climate in the FBI or
the Office of National Intelligence or the CI whatever wherever
(01:57):
it is, if here they started doing polygraph tests on people,
they get a lot of people who are stressed out.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
That's why polygraph tests are so unreliable and are thrown
out a lot in court.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Get it in court.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No, but still it's ridiculous, right that you go to
work and somebody hooks you up to a lie detector test.
I mean when you think about the FBI using light
detector tests. Of course they do when they're investigating people
or what have you. But using it on your own
is kind of different.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Isn't it. You shouldn't have to you shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Have to take a lie detector test or a stress test,
whatever the hell you want to call it. They're hooking
you up to a machine and measuring your personal levels.
And that's intrusive, and I would not sign off on
going to work and getting a lie detector test.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
But also you have you would well to go back
to the climate.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
This, they say, has, you know, added to this climate
of everybody's looking over their shoulders. They're not quite sure
what management's going to do if you don't toe the
party line or in this case, the line that the
president and the Secretary of Defense, for example, have in mind.
Than you are on the outs and could leave or
could be shown the door. A lot of people have
(03:06):
decided to show themselves the door. They've taken the early buyouts,
or they've taken the early retirement, or they simply quit
their job with no benefit at all because they don't
like what's going on.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Apparently this happens. It happens every five years or so.
It's kind of a common thing with intelligence agencies of
just making sure that people can be trusted on the inside.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
But your point, they don't do it specifically to find leakers. Necessarily,
that's not the purpose, right this, right now that's the
purpose is to try to plug up the leaks that
we've seen exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And there's a difference between putting your head down doing
your job despite disagreeing with whatever the agenda is for
your government agency. It's part of signing up for government work.
Things are going to change from administration to administration. I
understand that this one is different. But there's a difference
between putting your head down disagreeing and putting your head
(04:01):
out and just doing the work, or saying you know what,
this isn't for me and leaving and then leaking information.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
To the media like that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
That too, I think that should absolutely be ferreted out,
like anybody who's going to roll on.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Somebody, now listen, they can go too far. Pam Bondy
has supposedly put out some new legal guidelines that would
allow the Justice Department to subpoena a reporter's personal communications,
broadened the scope of some criminal potential criminal prosecution to
leaks of not just classified material, but other privileged, other
(04:33):
sensitive material that is all going to be covered. I
shouldn't say always, but that has a pretty tough road
to hoe when it comes to, you know, eclipsing the
First Amendment, which gives reporters a lot of freedom when
it comes to there.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
You all right, I got a sneeze.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh, I thought you're gonna cry. Gosh, we could talk
about the First Amendment of him.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I've had.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Little tears welling because I'm trying to sneeze.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yeah, do you have any music?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
The first is the thing I live by every morning.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Well, I gat that you.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Mentioned it, Gary. I want to take off my jackets.
I'm wearing a red shirt and blue pag so long,
and I'm white. I am the epitome of the flag today, Red,
white and.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Blue come back.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
The shirt is red, the.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Jeans are blue, and I am white, and you brought
up the First Amendment, and you're damn right, Gary.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I should be crying right now.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I should be crying because I live under this great
shield of the flag that we call the Stars and
stripes here in America, not up north. Were our leaders
who are newly elected are week streamed empty suit people.
I am an American. I have the weight of a
(05:54):
big ass. And sorry, I got carried.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Right right.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Did you hear that guy talk? By the way, the
Canadian guy.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
The new Canadian guy, Carni O m a, is it
super It is so weak stream like, it is the
worst orator I've ever heard in the history of somebody
who's spoke in a podium.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
But he has the right. I'm sure he's a wonderful person.
I'm sure he's super nice and he likes to go.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Out and about.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
But my God, get that man a set of testicles,
because I don't know if they're in there.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I don't know anything about him.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I heard like thirty seconds of his victory speech and
was like, what on God's green earth?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
That is not the stars and the stripes. That is leaves.
That is the big that.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Exists up there, and it's and it also gives you shade,
but there are no balls on that leaf.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
See what you did. You're having a nice little show.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And then you were like, you're crying over the First Amendment,
and I.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Were, I said first Amendment and you.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Would like that, So no, I was trying to sneeze,
so it.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Not all right.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Well see, and now we're gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Congressman shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion
or for hiving the exercise thereof bridging the freedom is
feature of the press or of the right of the
people peaceably to assemble or to petition the government for
the redress of grievance. It's beautiful, isn't it. I think
that's gonna be my alarm from now on, somebody saying.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
I'll record that for you.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Okay, No, that's drop an MF.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
At the end of it, you wake up to me
reading the First Amendment.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
All right, power outage in Spain and Portugal and parts
of France.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Is it weird? We still have no reason why?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's there should be something.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Simply saying oscillation is not gonna is not going to.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Quell people's fears about what happens. It is a great word.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
A M six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Hey, did you know it.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Was National Fetanyl Day today?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
How do you? How do you? How do mar today?
How do you well celebration the goal? I didn't get
you any fentanyl.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
You didn't know?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
How dare you call yourself a friend?
Speaker 6 (08:24):
No?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
It's very serious.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
The goal is to remind people of the many deaths
each year caused by fentanyl and spread the word about neclozone.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Close looxo lox.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
That's how much I don't know about fento whyloxo, not fentanyl.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
You don't know. You don't know people. You also need
to get an automatic external defibrillator.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I have two fire extinguishers at my home. Not every
help anybody destroyer. Every time I see them, I think, why,
what do you mean? We have a perfectly good fire
department here. You started a fire and house the other
day I did, and did I need a fire extinguishure?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You know why because I'm an American and I put
that fire out myself, but in my eyes, because you
know what this is in Canada, I.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Don't know America.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
A day after Spain and Portugal were hit by extensive blackouts,
they have been able to turn the electricity back on
in most areas in both of those countries.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
A lot of people are relieved.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Of course, we've seen power outages cripple countries like Puerto
Rico recently. The Dominican also suffered some selectrical problems recently,
but sharply critical now about what exactly caused this widespread
power failure. The Prime Minister of Spain said his country
has recovered more than ninety five percent of the total
(09:42):
supply as of today in Portugal. They said that power
has been restored to all of the substations and that
everything they say is one hundred percent operational. There's just
a couple of pockets. Again, this is the problem. The
cause of the blackout is still unknown. That's a problem.
No definitive conclusions according to Spain. As to the reasons
(10:04):
for the outage, they.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Say that there had been no cyber security attack, but
they also ruled out human error.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
And meteorological causes.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Now, how are you able to rule things out if
you are in a state of we don't know what
caused it, How are you able to rule out things
like human error?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It's and listen, I know this is a stupid way
to put it. Maybe it's a translation error. Maybe they're
saying instead of there was no cybersecurity attack, Maybe they're
saying we have no evidence of that.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Maybe but it's Spanish, it's not like it's Mandarin.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I know, but I'm saying the language is. It doesn't
take much to change that little station.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Just be a.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Cultural thing though too, maybe not even a language thing.
Maybe just like, eh, we don't know, and that could
mean that we haven't ruled anything. I don't know, but
they are naming specific things that they have ruled out.
I just find that interesting. But I'm also not a
electricity investigator, so I have no idea. They said they
expect answers within the next hours or days, but that
(11:10):
it could take weeks or months to complete the technical
analysis required. Apparently it was that high voltage connection between
France and Spain that was interrupted. They said that while
that interruption would have been disruptive, it would not normally
lead to a system.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Collapse like they saw. Yeah, something more typically.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Would typically need to happen, like there would be an
outage at one of their power plans or some sudden
happening on the demand side. Then you might have an
incident like this was. This was an outsized reaction to
what they know happened, which was that connection that was
knocked out.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
All right, coming up next. It is a mess downtown.
People are walking off the job. I listened to Michael
Monks yesterday on our show. I listened to him on
John's show, I listened to him on Conway's show, and
I listened to him on most.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Show The Guy Gets Around.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
You had a full day, full day.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Well, we'll bring him back. You feel some of the stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Less important, knowing that he's passed around here like a
tray of canapees.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
We'll check his canope when we come with that appropriate,
we'll do it off there.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Hey, Happy Tuesday, guys.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Hey Shannon, can you send me some of whatever it
is you're pumped up on today?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Man? You are fired up and I like that attitude,
so I could use some of that, So send it
my way. Thanks. Cottage cheese, is that right in your
in your eggs?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I had some?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I made some, Yeah, some egg egg for Tata. Things
with cottage cheese make some fluffyer, the cottage chiefs does.
But no, I had a lot of espresso. Oh okay,
pretty fair amount.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Fifty five thousand or so La County workers are on
their forty eight hour strike. It started last night. We
talked with kfi's Michael Monks about SEIU Local seven twenty
one and their grievances yesterday when it was pre strike.
Now we are neck deep in the strike and we're
seeing a lot of well, at the very least some
traffic issues downtown.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
You live downtown. That started at seven last night. What
have you seen?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Well, there is quite a rally going on. It just
so happens. Hold on one second, there it goes, now
try it. Well, it just so happens. There is a
pretty large crowd outside the County building, naturally because this
is the county workforce, but also there is a Board
of Supervisors meeting today. These meetings are often eight nine.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
So much fun though, aren't they just eight?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Now?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Nuts? I know you based on this, there's gonna be
a lot of commentary for me to sift through today
at this meeting gets going, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Back in the day we would all sit like I
guess you say, Chris Cross apples sauce. Now in the
little area where the molt box is all the report
is that still a practice.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Can be, but there aren't as many people plugging into
that audio and it aren't yeah, and the same like
the metro board meting. It's like a tiny little yeah,
malt box that I'll plug into. You can get her
online now and you can't never we never had that
benefit exactly getting it online. Have you accessed the internet before? Shannon?
Is you know what the.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Internet is what is it? I just my legs get
cramps when I think of.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Me to.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Thing that happened last week or a couple weeks ago.
I had to say Chris Cross apple sauce, and it
was I realized how old I am.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
I'm like, I did it when I was twenty five,
but I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Think I know. Oh, and I had to slither out
before everyone else did too, so I was, I know
it's on video somewhere. Absolutely, it's not going to be good.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
It's so uncomfortable there good.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, anyway, the other people having a our day to day,
or these fifty five thousand plus workers whose union have
decided that we're on strike only for a little while.
So it started last night at seven. They're supposed to
stop it at seven o'clock tomorrow evening. Their grievances are
a little bit unclear. I think they're in the midst
of negotiating. They haven't said a whole lot about what
they want. They certainly want at minimum a cost of
(15:19):
living increase, and the offer from the county was apparently
zero percent, and the County's like, look, we just produced
our proposed budget for the next fiscal year. We're cutting
all departments three percent across the board. We've got a
four billion dollar sex abuse settlement to pay. We were
looking at a possible two billion dollar expense from the wildfires,
(15:43):
and we're screwed. So the worker said, well, can't help,
but recall you just committed two hundred plus million dollars
to buy a skyscraper to move the government to. So
where did that money come from? And that's where we are.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
So we've got this city with its cuts and then
the county with it cuts, all at the same time.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And it's probably a situation where as you know, we're
union people too, You're like, sometimes you have to read
the room and save it for later. And this seems
like a case where that is true for the county
workers because the county budget does not propose any layoffs.
But I got the sense when that budget was being
presented that it was no layoffs at this point. So
(16:22):
what happens next year? Because this sex abuse settlement, this
four billion dollars sex abuse, they're not writing a check
and saying, oh, it's going to hurt us this year.
This is something that they predict into like twenty fifty
will be impacting their budgets.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
We haven't spent enough time on that.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I mean, I think the Catholic Church was like two
point five billions. It was more just the counties was
more right, Just to give you perspective on how big
this settlement is, it's nearly twice with the Catholic Church
settled with kid's abuse.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Of course, dioceses across right the country had to do
a lot of settlement.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
But here, yeah, I mean, what do you think of
the Catholic Church across the country and here that we're
talking about La County. I mean, it's retroactively, it's through
the years, but still like that is insane. And that
goes back to what we are talking about. In this
culture of just settling everything, there's got to be there's
got to be a conversation about that. This is not
a tenable situation of just settling everything forever.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
And it also calls into question the oversight of these
departments and how big this government is and how how
well managed it is. Now they're talking about closing some
of those juvenile halls where you know, some of this
abuse took place, reforming them, and it's a big concern
for the supervisors. But I talk to you guys about
this a lot. I've never seen any sense of urgency
from these governments. They're very good at pointing out what
(17:41):
they think is a problem, but not quick on the
solutions down on the street level outside of the ballroom
or the negotiations maybe or may not be taking place
at the street level. What kind of impact is this
going to have that we might see and you know,
LA County customers if you will, Yeah, all right, So
if you are dealing with in any type of county
services to day, yeah, there is a little bit of disruption.
(18:02):
And again it's only for a couple of days. So
the libraries came out and said, you know, we might
have some service disruption, might even have to close some
animal control might have some restrictions on adoptions today. You
might not be able to reclaim a pet if you've
lost a pet, for example, renewing pet licenses. The Assessor's
Office says the public may experience longer wait times if
(18:24):
you're going down to the tax office. But the one
stop shop on the first floor of the Hall of
Administration is open if you need county services, but I
would avoid going there today. It's busy traffic on Temple
Street is probably backed up, and once traffic gets bad
on Temple and around that area where the Civic Center is,
it just bleeds out all over downtown and it's an
absolute mess to get down there. So regional satellite offices
(18:46):
they may experience some service delays as well. But again
these are the union workers who clean restrooms.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Who weeklyan your toilet.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yeah, and in fact, the beach bathrooms might be impacted
by this as well. If you're headed to.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
The beach today, I wouldn't use it. Best of times.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
In downtown you can just go on the sidewalk, so yeah,
I mean you don't really need one, but who cares. Yeah.
La County dot gov.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Slash Closer Closures is also a site that they have
up if there are service delays or anything that you
need to check out.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
We'll see if the Board of Superfvisor says anything about
this today. Their meeting is is to get under way.
They are approving that sex abuse settlement. Normally, stretch your legs. Wow,
you're watching the meeting. I mean I don't want to.
I don't you don't want.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Your like that was just general life advice.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
It's not bad life advice.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, stretch, get tight and you can't untype. Got a
great stretch for that if you need it, really Yeah,
which one?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
You know?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
You laying your back, you can a cross your legs
and then the arms go through and you're pulling.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Yeah, uh wait what yours?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
That's more from my that's mine too, Yeah, yeah, that's
the one.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
I got it.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
The doctor told me I gotta cut back on. Thank you.
It's always a pleasure, guys. Hey.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
The DVDs, the CDs, all of these hardware for all
of our music enjoyment and movies, etc.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
They're making a comeback. We'll talk about that when we return.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
We mentioned this multiple times the last couple of months.
I mean, it kind of has reared its ugly head
that there seems to be a pendulum swing away from
digitization of everything and that people are moving towards flip phones.
Younger people are realizing that having all of the information
and the entire world at your fingertips can be a
(20:39):
distraction and not good for your health. And one of
the ways that we're seeing that play out is physical
media sales are up. I think DVDs, CDs, cassettes, records
of all things. I got for my birthday a couple
(21:00):
of years ago. I got a record player and a
couple of albums to go with it. It's so much
fun to sit there and listen to final.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
And the images that I think probably our kids have
of people our age is that we sat around and
did nothing. I mean that you'd put a record on
and you would just look at the album cover, or
you would read the liner notes, or you would read
along with some of them had the lyrics sheets in
(21:30):
there as part of the album sleeve itself. All of
that was such a great way to learn about music
because you, for one thing, you'd listen to the whole album.
A lot of times you wouldn't just pick and choose,
you know, single songs and go through. You could, but
there was a that the artist wanted you to listen
(21:51):
to the whole album.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
It was a different way of consuming music. It just
was an album was meant to be listened to in
the or that it was presented.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
A lot of thought went into that.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, and to put it put a number to this.
The Recording Industry Association of America said, physical music purchases
comprised only eleven percent of music revenue in twenty four
twenty twenty four, that's almost eighteen billion dollars, but only
eleven percent of it was physical tapes, cassettes, records. But
(22:26):
that was a five percent jump from the year before.
It's not going backwards, it's going up. And the majority
of those sales, they said, were in vinyl records, which
for the last eighteen years has seen growth in record vinyls,
followed up by CDs, which sold about five hundred and
forty one million dollars.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
That's up a little bit from the year before.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Should I get you a phonograph?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I have one?
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Oh you do?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Okay, what's before the phonograph?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Eight track player?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Do you want that?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I believe there is one at my parents' house. Think
I'm covered if I if I stumble upon, like, oh boy,
what was that great musical western they call the Wind Mariah?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
They call the Wind Mariah.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
That was a song and it was in Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
My parents had Paint Your Wagon. My parents had the
eight track soundtrack to Paint Your Wagon and we would
listen to that all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I've never heard of Paint Your Wagon. It's what does
that mean? Is that a euphemism?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
No, it's just that was the name of the set
in the Gold Rush.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I think paint your wagon, met your wagon, your wagon
means something, but I.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Wanted to ask, I mean, what is it that you
still hang on top?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Do you have Paint your wagon means to get things done?
Take action, fix the problem. Paint your wagon? Oh yeah,
you know you're you're trying to figure out how to
get your taxes done. Paint your wagon?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Do you have physical albums?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You and your husband have any records now, sets, anything,
old stack of old DVDs or anything.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I've got a lot of DVDs, cdds that I've been
I want to get rid of them.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
But then I remember how cool it was finding my
parents' old records, like in their house, you know, and
my husband's parents like finding their records and like just
knowing what they listen.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
To is cool.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
We have a tower and it's only you know, three
feet high or whatever, but we have a CD tower
that we got probably from Peer one, and we thought
it was a massive purchase when we were freshly married,
and it holds one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Or tower cdsful, aren't they? They should all be burned.
But it's been with us the entire time. I don't
think i've opened it in years. And we had some
friends whose daughters wanted to come over and they wanted
to look through it. I'm like, take whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Any of these can be played on you know, whatever
music service I have. But I realized that some of
those as I go back and if you look at them,
each of the I remember buying that DVD or that CD,
I remember getting it as a gift, or I remember
listening to it in you know, the car.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Nothing says nineteen ninety four like a freaking CD tower.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Also, paint your wagon could be I'm gonna beat you up,
I'm gonna paint your wagon.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You better watch it, or I'm gonna paint your wagon.
Get it after it, paint your wagon. Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Let us know what records, DVD, CDs, whatever it is
that you have held on to and how you when
do you listen to them.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I still have the the like I don't even know
how to describe it. The CD holder that was like,
you know, you would have four CDs per plastic page
that you fet through.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
As you were driving.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I still have that massive, like fabric binder of just
awful music. I'm sure it would be kind of a trip.
That's kind of why I haven't thrown them out, because
it's kind of fun for me to go back and
look at what were you listening to thirty years ago?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
What are you thinking?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
All right?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Gary and Shannon Show breakdown, coming up, tariffs, Amazon, all
of it. You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
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 (00:07):
A little bit later, of course, are True Crime Tuesday.
Michael Monks is going to join us. Thousands of people
working for LA County are now striking. They are walking
picket lines and a big demonstration going on downtown. So
we'll talk with him about the latest. Fifty five thousand
LA County workers currently on streting.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Apparently, traffic this morning downtown is a nightmare with people
walking off the job. There you're on TikTok. Have you
gotten involved with the enema trend? Well, let me I'll
just say this, it was an interesting morning. Really, I
thought you looked extra special fresh this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
No.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
But we start with the FBI. This was the headline
that the FBI is using polygraphs, and I thought, okay,
it's the FBI. Who else uses lie detector tests more
than the f BI?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
This is not entirely unusual.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Intelligent and intelligence agencies often use light detector polygraph tests
in order to make sure that people are, you know,
on the up and up and not spying for some
other country.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well, they say that these in particular, these polygraph text
tests in particular, are to find out who is leaking
information to the press.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
So they're using it on their own.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
They say that in some cases they're using polygraph tests
that current and former officials say are creating a climate
of fear and intimidation.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, listen, this is not the movies. And a lie
detector test is not a lie detector test in the
traditional sense that you would think of. A polygraph measures
your stress. And if the climate in the FBI or
the Office of National Intelligence or the CI whatever wherever
(01:57):
it is, if here they started doing polygraph tests on people,
they get a lot of people who are stressed out.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
That's why polygraph tests are so unreliable and are thrown
out a lot in court.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Get it in court.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No, but still it's ridiculous, right that you go to
work and somebody hooks you up to a lie detector test.
I mean when you think about the FBI using light
detector tests. Of course they do when they're investigating people
or what have you. But using it on your own
is kind of different.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Isn't it. You shouldn't have to you shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Have to take a lie detector test or a stress test,
whatever the hell you want to call it. They're hooking
you up to a machine and measuring your personal levels.
And that's intrusive, and I would not sign off on
going to work and getting a lie detector test.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
But also you have you would well to go back
to the climate.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
This, they say, has, you know, added to this climate
of everybody's looking over their shoulders. They're not quite sure
what management's going to do if you don't toe the
party line or in this case, the line that the
president and the Secretary of Defense, for example, have in mind.
Than you are on the outs and could leave or
could be shown the door. A lot of people have
(03:06):
decided to show themselves the door. They've taken the early buyouts,
or they've taken the early retirement, or they simply quit
their job with no benefit at all because they don't
like what's going on.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Apparently this happens. It happens every five years or so.
It's kind of a common thing with intelligence agencies of
just making sure that people can be trusted on the inside.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
But your point, they don't do it specifically to find leakers. Necessarily,
that's not the purpose, right this, right now that's the
purpose is to try to plug up the leaks that
we've seen exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And there's a difference between putting your head down doing
your job despite disagreeing with whatever the agenda is for
your government agency. It's part of signing up for government work.
Things are going to change from administration to administration. I
understand that this one is different. But there's a difference
between putting your head down disagreeing and putting your head
(04:01):
out and just doing the work, or saying you know what,
this isn't for me and leaving and then leaking information.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
To the media like that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
That too, I think that should absolutely be ferreted out,
like anybody who's going to roll on.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Somebody, now listen, they can go too far. Pam Bondy
has supposedly put out some new legal guidelines that would
allow the Justice Department to subpoena a reporter's personal communications,
broadened the scope of some criminal potential criminal prosecution to
leaks of not just classified material, but other privileged, other
(04:33):
sensitive material that is all going to be covered. I
shouldn't say always, but that has a pretty tough road
to hoe when it comes to, you know, eclipsing the
First Amendment, which gives reporters a lot of freedom when
it comes to there.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
You all right, I got a sneeze.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh, I thought you're gonna cry. Gosh, we could talk
about the First Amendment of him.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I've had.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Little tears welling because I'm trying to sneeze.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yeah, do you have any music?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
The first is the thing I live by every morning.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Well, I gat that you.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Mentioned it, Gary. I want to take off my jackets.
I'm wearing a red shirt and blue pag so long,
and I'm white. I am the epitome of the flag today, Red,
white and.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Blue come back.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
The shirt is red, the.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Jeans are blue, and I am white, and you brought
up the First Amendment, and you're damn right, Gary.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I should be crying right now.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I should be crying because I live under this great
shield of the flag that we call the Stars and
stripes here in America, not up north. Were our leaders
who are newly elected are week streamed empty suit people.
I am an American. I have the weight of a
(05:54):
big ass. And sorry, I got carried.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Right right.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Did you hear that guy talk? By the way, the
Canadian guy.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
The new Canadian guy, Carni O m a, is it
super It is so weak stream like, it is the
worst orator I've ever heard in the history of somebody
who's spoke in a podium.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
But he has the right. I'm sure he's a wonderful person.
I'm sure he's super nice and he likes to go.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Out and about.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
But my God, get that man a set of testicles,
because I don't know if they're in there.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I don't know anything about him.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I heard like thirty seconds of his victory speech and
was like, what on God's green earth?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
That is not the stars and the stripes. That is leaves.
That is the big that.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Exists up there, and it's and it also gives you shade,
but there are no balls on that leaf.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
See what you did. You're having a nice little show.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And then you were like, you're crying over the First Amendment,
and I.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Were, I said first Amendment and you.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Would like that, So no, I was trying to sneeze,
so it.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Not all right.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Well see, and now we're gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Congressman shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion
or for hiving the exercise thereof bridging the freedom is
feature of the press or of the right of the
people peaceably to assemble or to petition the government for
the redress of grievance. It's beautiful, isn't it. I think
that's gonna be my alarm from now on, somebody saying.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
I'll record that for you.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Okay, No, that's drop an MF.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
At the end of it, you wake up to me
reading the First Amendment.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
All right, power outage in Spain and Portugal and parts
of France.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Is it weird? We still have no reason why?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's there should be something.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Simply saying oscillation is not gonna is not going to.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Quell people's fears about what happens. It is a great word.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
A M six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Hey, did you know it.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Was National Fetanyl Day today?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
How do you? How do you? How do mar today?
How do you well celebration the goal? I didn't get
you any fentanyl.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
You didn't know?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
How dare you call yourself a friend?
Speaker 6 (08:24):
No?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
It's very serious.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
The goal is to remind people of the many deaths
each year caused by fentanyl and spread the word about neclozone.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Close looxo lox.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
That's how much I don't know about fento whyloxo, not fentanyl.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
You don't know. You don't know people. You also need
to get an automatic external defibrillator.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I have two fire extinguishers at my home. Not every
help anybody destroyer. Every time I see them, I think, why,
what do you mean? We have a perfectly good fire
department here. You started a fire and house the other
day I did, and did I need a fire extinguishure?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You know why because I'm an American and I put
that fire out myself, but in my eyes, because you
know what this is in Canada, I.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Don't know America.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
A day after Spain and Portugal were hit by extensive blackouts,
they have been able to turn the electricity back on
in most areas in both of those countries.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
A lot of people are relieved.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Of course, we've seen power outages cripple countries like Puerto
Rico recently. The Dominican also suffered some selectrical problems recently,
but sharply critical now about what exactly caused this widespread
power failure. The Prime Minister of Spain said his country
has recovered more than ninety five percent of the total
(09:42):
supply as of today in Portugal. They said that power
has been restored to all of the substations and that
everything they say is one hundred percent operational. There's just
a couple of pockets. Again, this is the problem. The
cause of the blackout is still unknown. That's a problem.
No definitive conclusions according to Spain. As to the reasons
(10:04):
for the outage, they.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Say that there had been no cyber security attack, but
they also ruled out human error.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
And meteorological causes.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Now, how are you able to rule things out if
you are in a state of we don't know what
caused it, How are you able to rule out things
like human error?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It's and listen, I know this is a stupid way
to put it. Maybe it's a translation error. Maybe they're
saying instead of there was no cybersecurity attack, Maybe they're
saying we have no evidence of that.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Maybe but it's Spanish, it's not like it's Mandarin.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I know, but I'm saying the language is. It doesn't
take much to change that little station.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Just be a.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Cultural thing though too, maybe not even a language thing.
Maybe just like, eh, we don't know, and that could
mean that we haven't ruled anything. I don't know, but
they are naming specific things that they have ruled out.
I just find that interesting. But I'm also not a
electricity investigator, so I have no idea. They said they
expect answers within the next hours or days, but that
(11:10):
it could take weeks or months to complete the technical
analysis required. Apparently it was that high voltage connection between
France and Spain that was interrupted. They said that while
that interruption would have been disruptive, it would not normally
lead to a system.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Collapse like they saw. Yeah, something more typically.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Would typically need to happen, like there would be an
outage at one of their power plans or some sudden
happening on the demand side. Then you might have an
incident like this was. This was an outsized reaction to
what they know happened, which was that connection that was
knocked out.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
All right, coming up next. It is a mess downtown.
People are walking off the job. I listened to Michael
Monks yesterday on our show. I listened to him on
John's show, I listened to him on Conway's show, and
I listened to him on most.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Show The Guy Gets Around.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
You had a full day, full day.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Well, we'll bring him back. You feel some of the stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Less important, knowing that he's passed around here like a
tray of canapees.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
We'll check his canope when we come with that appropriate,
we'll do it off there.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Hey, Happy Tuesday, guys.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Hey Shannon, can you send me some of whatever it
is you're pumped up on today?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Man? You are fired up and I like that attitude,
so I could use some of that, So send it
my way. Thanks. Cottage cheese, is that right in your
in your eggs?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I had some?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I made some, Yeah, some egg egg for Tata. Things
with cottage cheese make some fluffyer, the cottage chiefs does.
But no, I had a lot of espresso. Oh okay,
pretty fair amount.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Fifty five thousand or so La County workers are on
their forty eight hour strike. It started last night. We
talked with kfi's Michael Monks about SEIU Local seven twenty
one and their grievances yesterday when it was pre strike.
Now we are neck deep in the strike and we're
seeing a lot of well, at the very least some
traffic issues downtown.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
You live downtown. That started at seven last night. What
have you seen?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Well, there is quite a rally going on. It just
so happens. Hold on one second, there it goes, now
try it. Well, it just so happens. There is a
pretty large crowd outside the County building, naturally because this
is the county workforce, but also there is a Board
of Supervisors meeting today. These meetings are often eight nine.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
So much fun though, aren't they just eight?
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Now?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Nuts? I know you based on this, there's gonna be
a lot of commentary for me to sift through today
at this meeting gets going, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Back in the day we would all sit like I
guess you say, Chris Cross apples sauce. Now in the
little area where the molt box is all the report
is that still a practice.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Can be, but there aren't as many people plugging into
that audio and it aren't yeah, and the same like
the metro board meting. It's like a tiny little yeah,
malt box that I'll plug into. You can get her
online now and you can't never we never had that
benefit exactly getting it online. Have you accessed the internet before? Shannon?
Is you know what the.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Internet is what is it? I just my legs get
cramps when I think of.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Me to.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Thing that happened last week or a couple weeks ago.
I had to say Chris Cross apple sauce, and it
was I realized how old I am.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
I'm like, I did it when I was twenty five,
but I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Think I know. Oh, and I had to slither out
before everyone else did too, so I was, I know
it's on video somewhere. Absolutely, it's not going to be good.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
It's so uncomfortable there good.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, anyway, the other people having a our day to day,
or these fifty five thousand plus workers whose union have
decided that we're on strike only for a little while.
So it started last night at seven. They're supposed to
stop it at seven o'clock tomorrow evening. Their grievances are
a little bit unclear. I think they're in the midst
of negotiating. They haven't said a whole lot about what
they want. They certainly want at minimum a cost of
(15:19):
living increase, and the offer from the county was apparently
zero percent, and the County's like, look, we just produced
our proposed budget for the next fiscal year. We're cutting
all departments three percent across the board. We've got a
four billion dollar sex abuse settlement to pay. We were
looking at a possible two billion dollar expense from the wildfires,
(15:43):
and we're screwed. So the worker said, well, can't help,
but recall you just committed two hundred plus million dollars
to buy a skyscraper to move the government to. So
where did that money come from? And that's where we are.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
So we've got this city with its cuts and then
the county with it cuts, all at the same time.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And it's probably a situation where as you know, we're
union people too, You're like, sometimes you have to read
the room and save it for later. And this seems
like a case where that is true for the county
workers because the county budget does not propose any layoffs.
But I got the sense when that budget was being
presented that it was no layoffs at this point. So
(16:22):
what happens next year? Because this sex abuse settlement, this
four billion dollars sex abuse, they're not writing a check
and saying, oh, it's going to hurt us this year.
This is something that they predict into like twenty fifty
will be impacting their budgets.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
We haven't spent enough time on that.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I mean, I think the Catholic Church was like two
point five billions. It was more just the counties was
more right, Just to give you perspective on how big
this settlement is, it's nearly twice with the Catholic Church
settled with kid's abuse.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Of course, dioceses across right the country had to do
a lot of settlement.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
But here, yeah, I mean, what do you think of
the Catholic Church across the country and here that we're
talking about La County. I mean, it's retroactively, it's through
the years, but still like that is insane. And that
goes back to what we are talking about. In this
culture of just settling everything, there's got to be there's
got to be a conversation about that. This is not
a tenable situation of just settling everything forever.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
And it also calls into question the oversight of these
departments and how big this government is and how how
well managed it is. Now they're talking about closing some
of those juvenile halls where you know, some of this
abuse took place, reforming them, and it's a big concern
for the supervisors. But I talk to you guys about
this a lot. I've never seen any sense of urgency
from these governments. They're very good at pointing out what
(17:41):
they think is a problem, but not quick on the
solutions down on the street level outside of the ballroom
or the negotiations maybe or may not be taking place
at the street level. What kind of impact is this
going to have that we might see and you know,
LA County customers if you will, Yeah, all right, So
if you are dealing with in any type of county
services to day, yeah, there is a little bit of disruption.
(18:02):
And again it's only for a couple of days. So
the libraries came out and said, you know, we might
have some service disruption, might even have to close some
animal control might have some restrictions on adoptions today. You
might not be able to reclaim a pet if you've
lost a pet, for example, renewing pet licenses. The Assessor's
Office says the public may experience longer wait times if
(18:24):
you're going down to the tax office. But the one
stop shop on the first floor of the Hall of
Administration is open if you need county services, but I
would avoid going there today. It's busy traffic on Temple
Street is probably backed up, and once traffic gets bad
on Temple and around that area where the Civic Center is,
it just bleeds out all over downtown and it's an
absolute mess to get down there. So regional satellite offices
(18:46):
they may experience some service delays as well. But again
these are the union workers who clean restrooms.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Who weeklyan your toilet.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yeah, and in fact, the beach bathrooms might be impacted
by this as well. If you're headed to.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
The beach today, I wouldn't use it. Best of times.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
In downtown you can just go on the sidewalk, so yeah,
I mean you don't really need one, but who cares. Yeah.
La County dot gov.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Slash Closer Closures is also a site that they have
up if there are service delays or anything that you
need to check out.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
We'll see if the Board of Superfvisor says anything about
this today. Their meeting is is to get under way.

you're watching the meeting. I mean I don't want to.
I don't you don't want.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Your like that was just general life advice.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
It's not bad life advice.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, stretch, get tight and you can't untype. Got a
great stretch for that if you need it, really Yeah,
which one?
Speaker 6 (19:41):

Speaker 3 (19:41):
You laying your back, you can a cross your legs
and then the arms go through and you're pulling.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Yeah, uh wait what yours?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
That's more from my that's mine too, Yeah, yeah, that's
the one.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
I got it.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
The doctor told me I gotta cut back on. Thank you.
It's always a pleasure, guys. Hey.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
The DVDs, the CDs, all of these hardware for all
of our music enjoyment and movies, etc.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
They're making a comeback. We'll talk about that when we return.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
We mentioned this multiple times the last couple of months.
I mean, it kind of has reared its ugly head
that there seems to be a pendulum swing away from
digitization of everything and that people are moving towards flip phones.
Younger people are realizing that having all of the information
and the entire world at your fingertips can be a
(20:39):
distraction and not good for your health. And one of
the ways that we're seeing that play out is physical
media sales are up. I think DVDs, CDs, cassettes, records
of all things. I got for my birthday a couple
(21:00):
of years ago. I got a record player and a
couple of albums to go with it. It's so much
fun to sit there and listen to final.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
And the images that I think probably our kids have
of people our age is that we sat around and
did nothing. I mean that you'd put a record on
and you would just look at the album cover, or
you would read the liner notes, or you would read
along with some of them had the lyrics sheets in
(21:30):
there as part of the album sleeve itself. All of
that was such a great way to learn about music
because you, for one thing, you'd listen to the whole album.
A lot of times you wouldn't just pick and choose,
you know, single songs and go through. You could, but
there was a that the artist wanted you to listen
(21:51):
to the whole album.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
It was a different way of consuming music. It just
was an album was meant to be listened to in
the or that it was presented.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
A lot of thought went into that.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, and to put it put a number to this.
The Recording Industry Association of America said, physical music purchases
comprised only eleven percent of music revenue in twenty four
twenty twenty four, that's almost eighteen billion dollars, but only
eleven percent of it was physical tapes, cassettes, records. But
(22:26):
that was a five percent jump from the year before.
It's not going backwards, it's going up. And the majority
of those sales, they said, were in vinyl records, which
for the last eighteen years has seen growth in record vinyls,
followed up by CDs, which sold about five hundred and
forty one million dollars.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
That's up a little bit from the year before.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Should I get you a phonograph?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I have one?
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Oh you do?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Okay, what's before the phonograph?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Eight track player?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Do you want that?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I believe there is one at my parents' house. Think
I'm covered if I if I stumble upon, like, oh boy,
what was that great musical western they call the Wind Mariah?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
They call the Wind Mariah.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
That was a song and it was in Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
My parents had Paint Your Wagon. My parents had the
eight track soundtrack to Paint Your Wagon and we would
listen to that all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I've never heard of Paint Your Wagon. It's what does
that mean? Is that a euphemism?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
No, it's just that was the name of the set
in the Gold Rush.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I think paint your wagon, met your wagon, your wagon
means something, but I.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Wanted to ask, I mean, what is it that you
still hang on top?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Do you have Paint your wagon means to get things done?
Take action, fix the problem. Paint your wagon? Oh yeah,
you know you're you're trying to figure out how to
get your taxes done. Paint your wagon?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Do you have physical albums?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You and your husband have any records now, sets, anything,
old stack of old DVDs or anything.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I've got a lot of DVDs, cdds that I've been
I want to get rid of them.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
But then I remember how cool it was finding my
parents' old records, like in their house, you know, and
my husband's parents like finding their records and like just
knowing what they listen.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
To is cool.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
We have a tower and it's only you know, three
feet high or whatever, but we have a CD tower
that we got probably from Peer one, and we thought
it was a massive purchase when we were freshly married,
and it holds one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Or tower cdsful, aren't they? They should all be burned.
But it's been with us the entire time. I don't
think i've opened it in years. And we had some
friends whose daughters wanted to come over and they wanted
to look through it. I'm like, take whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Any of these can be played on you know, whatever
music service I have. But I realized that some of
those as I go back and if you look at them,
each of the I remember buying that DVD or that CD,
I remember getting it as a gift, or I remember
listening to it in you know, the car.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Nothing says nineteen ninety four like a freaking CD tower.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Also, paint your wagon could be I'm gonna beat you up,
I'm gonna paint your wagon.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You better watch it, or I'm gonna paint your wagon.
Get it after it, paint your wagon. Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Let us know what records, DVD, CDs, whatever it is
that you have held on to and how you when
do you listen to them.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I still have the the like I don't even know
how to describe it. The CD holder that was like,
you know, you would have four CDs per plastic page
that you fet through.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
As you were driving.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I still have that massive, like fabric binder of just
awful music. I'm sure it would be kind of a trip.
That's kind of why I haven't thrown them out, because
it's kind of fun for me to go back and
look at what were you listening to thirty years ago?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
What are you thinking?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
All right?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
